Chapter 438 - 128: The Journey with Xiao Ming

Chapter 438: Chapter 128: The Journey with Xiao Ming

A3 Planet.

Outside Pingwu Sanctuary City, A359 Area.

Bang——

Rumble——!

The ground trembled with increasing intensity.

A giant turtle, over a hundred meters long and more than fifty meters tall, charged across the wasteland like a mountain.

This giant turtle was Xiaoming.

At this moment.

On top of Xiaoming’s head stood Yu Jin, facing the wind.

The sandstorm kicked up by Xiaoming’s run swirled around Yu Jin.

Yet, within a five-meter range of him, a translucent energy barrier formed, isolating all sand and dust.

"Such a familiar feeling..."

Yu Jin murmured softly.

Below him, Xiaoming heard this and immediately ran even more vigorously.

Though it had been a while since it last saw Yu Jin, Xiaoming still felt dazed.

At this moment.

It was using all its strength to run, its body filled with surging energy.

It relished this feeling of having Yu Jin atop its head.

It feared that this might be a mere daydream, and it seemed that as long as it ran faster, keeping on, this dream would not end.

Swoosh——

Rustle——

Yu Jin, standing on top of the giant turtle, gazed at the increasingly solid projection of the sanctuary city in the distance, playing with Crystals in his hand.

These Crystals varied in tier.

The higher ones were Tier Seven Energy Crystals.

The lower ones were only Tier Three or Four.

These Crystals all had a slight warmth to them.

About half an hour ago.

They were all Xiaoming’s friends, living, fresh friends.

After projecting his clone onto A3 Planet, Yu Jin immediately locked in on Xiaoming’s coordinates.

And then...

He appeared in front of Xiaoming.

Until now.

It seemed Yu Jin could still hear the trembling whimper of the excited, joyful greeting Xiaoming gave upon seeing him again.

"I will take you away with me."

Yu Jin retracted his gaze from afar and looked down, speaking softly.

As his words fell.

"Woo——"

"Woo woo——!"

Xiaoming raised its massive head, letting out high-pitched cries.

This scene.

Bore an uncanny resemblance to the previous occasion when Yu Jin was in the Reincarnation Arena, outside White Rock City.

"But..."

"Before we leave."

"We have some issues to resolve, some matters to handle."

Yu Jin continued.

These words seemed more like a monologue than directed at Xiaoming.

Currently, he was just a clone projection.

The difference being——

Back when he descended on the Venus Server, his tier cap was restricted to the Tier Nine Limit.

But now?

After killing Han Ling, obtaining full ’Projection’ bloodline permissions, his tier cap had subsequently broken through.

Buzz——!

Yu Jin’s thoughts stirred, extraordinary energy surging within him.

His tier had astonishingly reached Tier Fourteen, far surpassing the wasteland planet’s limit.

Of course.

To Yu Jin, whether Tier Nine or Fourteen, it made no difference.

On A3 or any other wasteland planet, he would encounter no match, no crisis.

The true peculiarity of this clone projection now lay in...

[You randomly inherited part of your body’s Divine Bloodline permissions!]

[You activated hidden abilities of the Divine Bloodline permissions bearer!]

[You acquired the ability——]

[Kindred Perception!]

[You can perceive the existence of players with awakened or latent Divine Bloodlines within a certain area!]

This ability was something even Yu Jin’s main body did not possess.

This time, descending to a low dimension, this unexpected activation puzzled Yu Jin a bit.

And by sheer coincidence.

The moment Yu Jin descended and activated this ability, he sensed the so-called ’player’s presence.’

Precisely because of this.

He came, arriving at Pingwu Sanctuary City, with Xiaoming the Dragon Turtle in tow.

"Han Ling?"

"Su Chen?"

"What sort of role will this Divine Bloodline player be this time?"

In Yu Jin’s heart, there was no tension, only a trace of curiosity and anticipation.

To speak objectively.

Whether Han Ling or Su Chen, for various reasons, stood opposed to him and Dawn Fortress.

But...

Yu Jin always felt that players with such cheat-like Divine Bloodline permissions were well-suited for Dawn Fortress’s purposes.

His intuition told him.

This trip to A3 Planet might bring unexpected gains, just like the Venus Server.

...

...

Pingwu Sanctuary City.

Bang——

Rumble——!

The thunderous sound of the ground’s tremor drowned all noise.

Outside the city gate, thousands of wasteland players had already gathered.

Among them were not only the refugees who were queuing to enter the city, but more so were the subordinates pouring out from within the sanctuary city to see the ’benevolent turtle.’

Of course.

There were those with certain attributes who, even in the face of the benevolent turtle, instinctively felt fear and thus remained hidden in the city, not showing themselves.

"Is that..."

"A human figure?"

"Did I see that correctly?"

"Isn’t there a human figure standing on the benevolent turtle’s head!"

Outside the city gate.

Tens of thousands stared at the giant turtle rushing toward Pingwu City.

More and more people noticed the figure atop the turtle’s head.

"My god?"

"There really seems to be someone..."

"What’s going on?"

As the giant turtle ran faster, drawing closer to the sanctuary city, the people outside the city gate grew tense and at a loss over this discovery.

"How could it be..."

"That’s the benevolent turtle..."

"How could anyone possibly be able to stand on its head..."

The wasteland veteran, Uncle Dean, stared wide-eyed at the far-off giant turtle, muttering repeatedly.

Beside him, Nicole listened to these words, her eyes full of curiosity.

"If I’m not mistaken..."

"This should mark the official start of the game’s storyline?"
