Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1855: Chapter 972: Taboo ACE-003, Snake of Trickery

The inverted cannons on the base of the Storm Fortress were sliding quickly along the track, resembling an iron sky ready to unleash terrifying firepower at any moment.

The soldiers on the Storm Fortress had already regained control of the weapon systems from Zero.

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the Spider Cage wasn’t just prepared for him; the Duke of Storm City intended to kill everyone who had come to help him using the barrier created by the loss of eight Arbiters.

”Master, be careful of the Aerial Fortress’s electromagnetic cannons,” Qing Chen said, struggling to maintain consciousness.

Uncle Li Dong smiled and said, ”Don’t worry, the Aerial Fortress isn’t invincible.”

Qing Chen replied, ”It’s too dangerous, you shouldn’t have come.”

Uncle Li Dong laughed again in response, ”I didn’t come alone.”

A wind arose in the Central Royal City.

The wind came unexpectedly, as if it wasn’t supposed to exist.

In the city, Li Dongze was wearing a series of black windcoats, lifting a pocket watch in his hand.

He held the dial with his left hand, and gently rotated it with the index finger of his right hand, watching the celestial bodies on the dial shift positions. The originally clear starry sky suddenly became a sandstorm.

The Level 8 gale swept across the city, swirling dust and rubbish into the sky, making visibility reduce to the extent that people couldn’t see each other within a ten-meter radius.

It was as if a sandstorm had struck the entire Central Royal City!

In such visibility conditions, even the Storm Fortress’s Aerial Fortress couldn’t identify the targets below. To aim at a Demigod, one must first be able to see the Demigod!

Ye Wan glanced at Li Dongze: ”I thought this forbidden item could only forecast the weather. Didn’t giving you a forbidden item with Second Stage Form in March violate the rules of the Contraindicated Courts?”

Li Dongze calmly replied, ”She doesn’t believe I can consistently watch the weather every day for ten years, so she doesn’t believe I can unlock the Second Stage Form.”

At this time, March’s voice came from afar: ”Is it appropriate to discuss me so openly here, the two of you?”

This time, not only Knights and Couriers had come, but the Contraindicated Courts had also arrived on the West Continent.

Lin Xiaoxiao curiously asked, ”Isn’t the Contraindicated Courts fighting only to preserve humanity’s flame? Why suddenly not neutral anymore?”

March seriously replied, ”We aim to preserve the flame of humanity from the Eastern Continent.”

In other words, whether people on the West Continent still have a flame doesn’t concern them.

As they spoke, a troop of cockroaches passed by them.

Lin Xiaoxiao: ”Does the Contraindicated Courts not care about this biological pollution?”

March gazed unemotionally at the cockroaches disappearing into the sandstorm: ”Not now, but you should also warn your small boss that these cockroaches cannot return to the Eastern Continent; biological pollution is a prototype of the Taboo Land, and they can transform into new Taboo Lands at any time and can be very large.”

Li Dongze said: ”Let’s stop chatting; there are many things to do today.”

At this time, March took out a black cloth bag from his waist. In the next moment, a chubby Pangolin crawled out of the black bag and headed straight for the copper rivets holding the Spider Web Array.

Forbidden Item ACE-050, Pangolin, can breach any sturdy barrier, creating a passage for one person.

Containment Conditions: Before each breach, the Pangolin must take a bite of a forbidden item.

This Pangolin is naturally able to smell the scent of forbidden items; the previous owner liked to take it to Taboo Lands, and it could always find lost forbidden items.

Gradually, no one used this forbidden item for digging anymore; successive owners used it to locate forbidden items and even gave it a nickname ’Gold-seeking Beast.’

March was planning to let it eat all the copper rivets, naturally breaking the barrier.

After five hundred and twelve years, the Contraindicated Courts finally abandoned neutrality and took action.

Forbidden items and Taboo Lands have no national borders, but the Contraindicated Courts do.

...

...

On the battlefield, Uncle Li Dong looked at Qing Chen: ”Can you hold on?”

Qing Chen shook his head: ”I can’t hold on.”

The warmth calling from the sky felt like a lullaby, never ceasing.

The pain within his body was gradually calming, his muscles no longer trembling, his brain secreting large amounts of endorphins to soothe him.

At this moment, he felt as though he were submerged in warm seawater, with drowsiness constantly invading.

So as soon as Qing Chen finished speaking, he fainted while holding the Black Eye of Truth.

Uncle Li Dong looked at the unconscious Qing Chen somewhat astonished; this apprentice really was honest, saying he couldn’t hold on, and indeed he couldn’t.

He shouted loudly: ”Qing Ji! Qing Ji, where are you, old fellow?”

Qing Ji emerged from the shadows: ”I’m here.”

”Take Qing Chen away, guard him until he wakes and don’t let anyone disturb him,” Uncle Li Dong instructed: ”This is your Qing Clan House Master; guard him well, wait for March to break this damned Spider Web, then use the Door of Shadow to send him away... The Eastern Continent may not need you or me, but it certainly needs him.”

Back when Uncle Li Dong took out forbidden item ACE-002, the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth from Prison No. 18, the old man on Ginkgo Mountain invited him to watch a prophecy.

At that moment, Uncle Li Dong gave up his former beliefs and ideals; this master gave up everything to fulfill Qing Chen, just like Qing Chen’s shadow, silently waiting for the moment when he is needed.

Mouse tides of City No. 10.

The battles of the Central Royal City.

This Demigod was willingly a pawn advancing across the river, adhering to the whims of destiny.

No one knows exactly what he saw.
