Chapter 288 We're talking about protective shields.
What's going on lately?
It feels like everyone I meet wants me to work for free.
Xu Ning looked at Xavier, who had a miserable look on his face. "You even deliberately sent the 'coolie' away to wait for me. What kind of ridiculous spirit is this?"
"The problem with the Shadow Furnace Core, in our Fengdan, aside from the slightly cumbersome approval procedures, wouldn't be a problem at all. As long as we find someone with divine eyes to go in and investigate, gather accurate information, I can easily fix it with a few tweaks..."
"But now I'm all alone, which is really unlucky. I actually just wanted to come and take some 'films' and experience the unique romantic atmosphere of Inazuma. I haven't even been to that legendary mixed-gender bathhouse yet..."
Xu Ning had no interest in helping him. He impatiently looked around, searching for a way out. It was only when he heard the words "mixed bathing" that he turned around and responded.
"Don't go. The shop is using false advertising to scam people. Last time I paid double the entrance fee, and there was no beautiful young woman taking a bath with her daughter inside. It was full of burly out-of-town men with lewd intentions. Even locals wouldn't fall for it!"
Xavier's expression immediately turned disillusioned, and after a long pause, he said, "That's a real shame... No, weren't we talking about Mikage Roshin? You just needed to help me..."
Before Xavier could speak again, Xu Ning asked directly, "Didn't you already use that thing to secure this place? Anyway, it won't explode for at least ten days. Just stay here and wait for that young man with the pet from last time. He can take care of it for you."
"Just using that to cover it up won't work."
Xavier said urgently, "Although the instructions say it's ultra-thin, ultra-tough, and highly elastic, almost imperceptible, and generally won't leak if used properly, it still has a limit to the force it can withstand. If the force is too rough, it will still break, and the consequences will be..."
Xu Ning raised his hand to stop Xavier from continuing, then pointed to the mine behind him and asked cautiously, "Um, are we still talking about that shield...?"
Xavier nodded in bewilderment and said, "Yes, and now the evil spirit's power inside has leaked out. In another three to five days, it might blow this island into the sky at any time."
"Is it that dangerous?" Xu Ning's expression finally changed.
"Since you put it that way, I suddenly remembered that there was porridge cooking at home when I left. I'll turn off the stove and come back to help you right away."
Beidou is still wandering around here. I need to tell her to take her brothers and evacuate first.
Thinking of the Big Dipper, Xu Ning had no time to pay attention to this unlucky fellow. He reached out and summoned a gust of wind, and quickly took off, gliding towards the northwest.
"Ah, why are you doing this...you're trying to kill me!"
Ignoring Xavier's shouts behind him, Xu Ning flew away on his own.
However, after searching the area for two days, Xu Ning still couldn't find any trace of the Southern Cross fleet.
Even with elemental vision enabled, I couldn't gather any useful clues.
At the Nashii Beach, the rebel army and the shogunate army clashed many times, and the chaotic traces of elemental force can be vaguely seen all over the beach.
Xu Ning even saw a strange black mark, which was extremely similar to the evil god aura he had seen when he followed Shen He's father. He figured it was probably because some people in the resistance army possessed evil eyes.
"You can really see that guy's lingering influence everywhere!"
Xu Ning, who was standing on the mudflats sighing, was hesitating whether to go into the cave and ask the three scumbags who were about to degenerate into parasitic demon gods for advice when he suddenly heard a series of messy footsteps coming from the direction of Ta Sha.
Most of the people who came were wearing uniforms that were half red and half white, and they were carrying weapons.
Xu Ning walked a few steps toward the water's edge, clearing the way, and calmly watched the dozens of people run past.
One of the soldiers glanced at Xu Ning and shouted, "Outsider over there, the Shogunate's lackeys are arriving soon. This place will soon become a battlefield. If you don't want to get caught in the crossfire, leave here quickly."
Hearing the guy's kind reminder, Xu Ning smiled, raised the gourd to express his gratitude, but didn't move an inch.
The captain turned around and called out, "Oizumi, if someone like this won't listen to advice, just leave him alone. Besides, appearing in a place like this at this time of year, he might be a spy for the Shogunate army."
Daquan, who had been trying to persuade Xu Ning, sighed and turned to run off with the others.
Xu Ning raised the gourd and took a sip.
"Red and blue have always been a classic color combination, and anime is right. These uniforms must belong to the resistance. These guys look like they're running for their lives, but they're calm and their steps are perfectly aligned. They even have the leisure to care about a stranger. I'm afraid they're trying to lure us in. If I were a spy for the Shogunate army, you'd be doomed today."
After inwardly despising the rebel army captain who had claimed to be a spy, Xu Ningjing waited quietly for the Shogunate army to arrive.
As expected, the shogunate army caught up almost immediately.
"It was General Kujo himself leading the team. No wonder those rebels ran away so fast."
Kujo Sara, carrying a longbow, saw Xu Ning standing by the roadside and stopped several soldiers who were about to question him.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "I was originally going to visit a friend, but I haven't found him after two days, so I'm just wandering around to relax."
Kujo Sara snorted coldly, "Well, you really did choose a good place."
Sensing that Xu Ning wasn't telling her the truth, Kujo Sara stopped paying attention to him.
"The enemy is ahead. Form ranks and prepare for battle. Advance slowly!"
Xu Ning noticed the unusual behavior of the resistance fighters, and Kujo Sara undoubtedly did as well.
The shogunate army was on high alert, advancing slowly in formation. The rebel leader opposite sighed, knowing that his ambush plan had failed.
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"
Seeing the leader of the opposing force approaching with his rebel army, Kujo Sara coldly said, "Is it just you...? I thought I would be able to meet your strategist this time."
Xu Ning followed the Shogunate army over, but instead of standing in the middle of the battle formation, he went around to the side and looked at the leader opposite him.
A young man with pointed ears and dyed white hair stood in front of the rebel army, holding a longbow. He was none other than Goro, the famous dog general of Haiji Island.
Although Goro's stature was not even as tall as Kujo Sara, in terms of imposing presence, Inu no Taisho was in no way inferior to this shogun.
"If you want to see Lady Coral Palace, it's very simple. After I defeat you, I will personally escort you to see her."
