Seeing that his life was on the verge of death, Tie Zha sighed and sat down dispiritedly. Along with the remaining oxygen, there was still four hours left. However, when he looked up, there was only a vast expanse of white. Other than the mist, it was still the mist …

The countdown to life began.

Three hours and 59 minutes, three hours and 58 minutes, three hours and 50 minutes …

In the silence, time passed minute by minute. Tie Zha thought a lot about his woman, his friend, his pursuit. He was really unwilling to die here. There were still many things he needed to complete. About ten minutes later, he heavily exhaled, calmed his mood, flapped his membrane wings, and flew to the next island.

Even if he died, he had to die on the road instead of waiting in self-pity.

Two hours later, he took his last breath of oxygen, threw down the oxygen tank, and continued his search. He could already sense his own death, but he still refused to give up. However, his mind became somewhat numb, and his mind went blank. He flew mechanically without thinking about anything.

“Boom!”

As he flew, a muffled sound suddenly came from the fog. The penetrating power of that voice was extremely strong, as if it came from an extremely distant place. It was like a thunderous roar in the middle of the night that rolled over, with endless afternoons. His figure paused for a moment, and he quickly determined that it was the sound of exploding rocks. Someone must be mining the Star Diamond nearby. Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and flew towards the direction where the voice came from.

He pierced through the wind and mist, and a few minutes later, he flew to a huge island.

Below was an endless forest sea. The water mist lingered above the tree canopy, and the visibility was very low. He carefully searched in the direction he remembered.

But just now, with a mere sound and a displacement of several thousand meters, he had already lost his way. After flying in the fog for more than half an hour, he still found nothing. The edge of the island gradually appeared in front of him. Seeing this scene, his heart fell to the bottom of the valley. The island is at least fifteen kilometers in diameter in terms of speed and time of flight. The explosion must have come from somewhere on the island. However, in such a large area, the visibility was only a few hundred meters. To find the human camp hidden within was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was simply too difficult.

At this moment, he was like a headless fly, not knowing where to fly. After gaining the hope, he was once again extinguished. This kind of feeling was truly unbearable. He wandered aimlessly, praying for the favor of the goddess of luck.

“Boom!”

About half an hour later, a second rumble came from behind him. He immediately regained his spirits and flew towards the direction of the explosion. As he flew, his eyes suddenly darkened and he almost fell to the ground. The symptoms of hypoxia had finally begun to appear. He was extremely anxious, but he still didn’t find any traces of the camp.

After flying more than two thousand meters, he smelled the smell of smoke and hurriedly chased after it. Soon, he saw a large area collapsing. The camp was close, but he couldn’t find it. His chest became even more depressed, and his gaze spun around. He could no longer maintain his balance. He plunged into the dense forest, crushed several branches, and fell into the bushes.

“Uh” He grabbed the clothes on his chest and crawled towards the light with great difficulty.

“Hey, did you hear anything?” “Yes, something seems to have fallen down.” “It shouldn’t have blown people up, right?” “How is that possible …” “Quickly go and take a look.” “Alright.”

Not long after, two Far East workers wearing canvas overalls, engineering helmets and glass masks, carrying oxygen cylinders and shovels appeared near the bushes.

“It seems to be here” A worker looked up at the broken branch and said to his companion behind him.

Before he could finish speaking, the bush suddenly moved and a figure jumped out, throwing him to the ground. Then, with a “chi” sound, he pulled out his oxygen pipe and stuffed it into his mouth to suck in large mouthfuls of air.

“Ah!” Under the sudden change, another worker cried out in fright. He raised the shovel in his hand in panic and was about to smash it over.

When Tie Zha saw this, he immediately grabbed the worker and stood in front of him.

“You … who are you?” Seeing that his companion was being controlled, the worker involuntarily put down his shovel and asked in a trembling voice.

“Relax” Tie Zha took a deep breath of oxygen and said in a calm voice.

Seeing that there was no malice on his face, the worker’s expression relaxed, but the vigilance in his eyes did not lessen in the slightest. “What do you want?”

Tie Zha grinned and said, “Excuse me for oxygen inhalation.”

“Let go … let go of me …” The worker in Tie Zha’s hand struggled for a moment, feeling his shoulder pressed down by the crane.

“Relax, friend.” Tie Zha slowly loosened his grip and pushed forward, causing the worker to stumble a few steps and almost fall.

After sucking in some oxygen for a while, Tie Zha gradually recovered. Then, he took out two gold coins and flicked them with his finger.

The two workers caught the flying gold coins and bit them in their mouths. Then, they looked at each other with joy and said in unison, “Thank you, boss.”

‘”My airship crashed. I need help” Tie Zha shook his purse and said, “Take me to your camp. Thank you.”

“Alright, we Far East people are most willing to help others.” “Brother, don’t worry. Our Far East people are the best guests.” The two workers patted their chests at the same time.

Ten minutes later, Tie Zha, led by two workers, arrived at a camp in the dense forest.

At a glance, the camp was roughly 10,000 square meters, and there was a large open space on the side. There were quite a few machines, including excavators, drilling rigs, and so on, as well as a dozen airships of various sizes.

Outside the camp, there were several hundred triangular individual tents, followed by a dozen or so arched military tents, including medical tents painted with the Red Cross logo, equipment warehouses painted with gear logos, and material warehouses painted with fuel barrels or bread. In the middle was an oversized round tent. These tents were called “circus tents” in ancient times, and are usually used for performances, but are now used as commanding tents.

When Tie Zha saw the badge on the dark green tarpaulin, his heart skipped a beat and he just wanted to turn around and leave. The badge was round, and there were seven venomous snakes in the outer circle. There were Black Mamba, King Eyeglasses, Green Bamboo Snake, Golden Silver Ring Snake, Hook-billed Sea Snake, Mountain Viper, and White-headed Agkistrodon. In the middle was a curved long wooden staff and a burning brazier.

This was the symbol of the Far East Snake Clan, also known as the “Sacred Flame Snake Emblem”, or “Seven-Colored Snake Ring”. Even though Tie Zha was mentally prepared, when he saw it, he still couldn’t help but want to escape. Even though Bi Tianye’s taste was as sweet as a spring, the psychological shadow Bi Qinglan had brought him was too great. When he saw the Serpent Clan badge, his entire body felt uncomfortable, as if a bayonet was pressing against his back, giving him a chill at any time.

However, there seemed to be no other way out of the current predicament. In any case, the other party didn’t know who he was, so he could just pretend to be an ordinary traveler in distress.

“Get me something to eat and drink first, and then send an airship to take me back. Just tell me how much it costs.” After entering the tent as a restaurant, Tie Zha said generously and flicked out two more gold coins.

“Alright, no problem.” “Thank you, boss.” The two workers picked up the money and nodded and bowed as they went out to make arrangements.

Not long after, a worker brought steaming ribs, rice and tea, and Tie Zha ate them in large mouthfuls. At least on the surface, it looked quite pleasant.

Halfway through the meal, another worker came back and excitedly told him that their boss had agreed to send an airship to send him back to his original location. In addition, he only needed to pay the market price, around sixty to seventy gold coins.

Hearing the news, Tie Zha’s mood greatly improved and he gave them two more gold coins each.

“The airship is being repaired and refueled. We can set off in half an hour.” The worker who went to ask the question put away the gold coins and said happily.

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded his head and didn’t say anything else. He continued to eat with his head buried in his stomach. After eating compressed biscuits for several days, he felt his stomach was cramping. He could finally eat meat and rice, so he naturally had to enjoy it.

About half an hour later, Tie Zha was eating a second bowl of rib rice when an explosion suddenly sounded from outside.

“Boom … boom …”

At first, Tie Zha thought that it was a normal island separation, but the sound of explosions came one after another, accompanied by flickering flames. This was very abnormal.

After thinking for a moment, his expression changed drastically. He rushed out of the tent as a dining hall and saw that not far away, flames soared into the sky. It was precisely where the airship was parked. As they approached, a sea of flames had already burned there. Explosions could be heard continuously. The airships wailed, their skeletons shattered, and their parts flew away.

He was instantly in a bad mood. Needless to say, his identity had already been exposed, so the other party directly cut off his path of retreat.

‘”Haha ~” A silver laugh came from behind him, but in Tie Zha’s ears, his mood was even worse.

“Lord Tie Zha, welcome!” A Bi Qinglan walked over with a pure and lovely smile on his face. Then, he crossed his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen. He bent his waist slightly and bowed towards Tie Zha.

“Who are you?” Tie Zha asked unhappily.

“I, Bi Shui (xiao) Lan, greet Lord Tie Zha.” She nodded and said. Among the replicas of Bi Qinglan’s subordinates, the Twelve Holy Daughters were Heavens, such as Bi Tianye, Bi Tianqing, and so on. Their twenty-four adjutants were of the “empty” generation, while their forty-eight assistants were of the “water” generation. The rest were divided into three branches, namely, the “Xiao”, “Xiao”, and “Shi” generation.

Bi Shuanlan was a member of the Shuanli Army, as well as the Xiao Ye Army and the Xiao Zhu Army. Whether it was Shun Li, Xiao Ye, or Xiao Zhu, they all meant bamboo.

“What exactly do you want?” Tie Zha frowned and asked in displeasure.

“What’s the matter?” Bi Shunlan’s face was blank.

“You know what to ask.” Tie Zha frowned even deeper.

“Aiya ~ Shun Lan only damaged her own things, but I didn’t expect that she would make Lord Tie Zha unhappy. I really shouldn’t ~” Bi Shun Lan lowered her eyes and nodded slightly at Tie Zha. That apologetic and innocent look only made one feel powerless and unable to vomit blood.

“You” Tie Zha was so angry that he couldn’t speak. The reason why the other party blew up the airship was to trap him. Even if he wanted to snatch it, there was no hope.

“How about …” Bi Shuanlan smiled and said, “Sir Tie Zha, please come to the tent and have Shuanlan brew a pot of tea for you. Then we’ll think of a way to see if we can …” She said meaningfully, “Where can we get an airship to meet Sir’s urgent needs?”

Tie Zha snorted coldly and walked towards the tent in the middle of the camp with his hands behind his back. Bi Shuilan pursed her lips and chuckled. She twisted her waist and quickly followed.
