Chapter 279: Chapter 211 Returning to the Star Realm_2"I know what I should do, you don’t have to worry about me," Zhao Manying said, walking around the table and sitting next to Ji Xinghuo. The two of them didn’t bring up the Star Realm anymore, simply enjoying their dinner. After the meal. Ji Xinghuo went to meet with his second brother, Zhong Ming, to tell him he was about to depart for the Star Realm. He left him with five True Dragon Coins, which could be sold in case of emergency to provide funds for the family. As for the Sword Bureau, he had already spoken to Zhou Yishang during the day. As a Chi Xiao Knight, he was free to move around when not on a mission, including entering the Star Realm, and Zhou Yishang agreed to this readily. According to Zhou Yishang, Ji Xinghuo’s trip to the Star Realm would help him avoid the Qianyuan Association, making it safer. Late at night. Ji Xinghuo donned his ceramic steel Armor, with Lei Chi and Demon Sound strapped to his back, and equipped with his Invisible Stab and quiver of arrows – he was fully armed. "It’s time for me to leave." Zhao Manying saw him to the door, without any fuss, gave him a deep kiss, and softly said, "Come back early, I’ll be waiting for you." Ji Xinghuo nodded, gazed deeply at her stunning face, and then turned to leave. After leaving home, he first went to the Sword Bureau to return the Purple Lightning Sword and took the Sword Bureau’s Sky Fighter directly to Chaka City. He entered the Star Gate Fortress without having to queue, took the official personnel passageway, and went through the Star Gate from above. A whirl of disorientation, and the scenery before his eyes changed. Ji Xinghuo stood in the Star Gate Square of Olympia City, looking up at the clear blue sky, took a deep breath, and instantly inhaled the spirit-filled air, adapting without any difficulty. "I’m back!" He murmured to himself, feeling very comfortable. It was daytime in the Star Realm. However, Ji Xinghuo felt a slight chill. When he had returned to Earth, the Star Realm was just entering "Quiet Moon". One hundred and fifty days on Earth corresponded to two months in the Star Realm; "Quiet Moon" and "Soothing Moon" would have passed, and now it was "Between Moon". The cool season in the Star Realm lasted nine months, and "Between Moon", true to its name, was right in the middle. The weather during "Between Moon" was cool. If pushed for a comparison, the current Star Realm was like autumn on Earth, neither cold nor hot, with an average temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius. But it would get colder and colder, nights longer and Star Nights shorter, until the duration of Star Night was zero, and the order with night reversed again. Ji Xinghuo started walking, making his way out of Star Gate Square amidst the crowd. His pace gradually quickened as he entered the East Xia District, aimlessly moving forward on the streets, his expression unchanged, but internally he sneered. Upon entering the Star Realm, he had sensed someone observing him in secret, likely waiting for quite some time. Electromagnetic induction quickly locked onto the individual. Just as Ji Xinghuo was about to lure the person out, they cautiously turned back and entered the Star Gate, vanishing from sight. The region of the Star Gate the person entered belonged to the West Africa Alliance, corresponding to the Abuja Star Gate on Earth. "Qianyuan Association..." Ji Xinghuo’s face showed no emotion. This organization, whose true extent of power was still unknown, seemed to have long infiltrated the Star Realm. Would they take action now that they knew he was in the Star Realm? "Truly persistent!" Ji Xinghuo sighed and stopped pondering over it, continuously scanning his surroundings with electromagnetic induction, ensuring he wasn’t being followed. He made a round through Olympia City, purchasing a stockpile of supplies. Various types of arrows, food, water, and consumables, he crammed them all into his Dimension Stomach, and then finally returned to the villa on Qinghao Street. As expected, there was no one in the villa. Ren Mian hadn’t returned, and while Jiangnan Caiyi took care of the garden, the condition was clearly not as good as when Ren Mian herself tended to it, many plants were not thriving. Jiangnan Caiyi had just advanced to Super Mutant last month and was still adjusting, looking for new Alien Species to merge with; she had no plans to venture into the Star Realm yet. She was also waiting for Ren Mian to return. Chi Zhonglin was similar; he had just made a fortune and wanted to convert it into strength while also indulging in earthly pleasures without a care in the world. As for his other friends, Ji Xinghuo hadn’t notified any of them. This time, heading to the Bloody Plateau, he was to be a Solo Hunter; he didn’t need any teammates. Ji Xinghuo didn’t linger in the villa long, confirming that Ren Mian wasn’t there, so he left her a note and immediately set off. After a few months’ journey aboard the flying airship, Ji Xinghuo arrived at the western Free City and then left the city. Walking down the road, Ji Xinghuo felt quite sentimental. The year before last, the first time he had gone out hunting, he had taken this very road with Sister Ren and the others, and everything seemed unchanged. After walking for over a dozen kilometers and finding himself away from others, Ji Xinghuo took out the Qinghong from his pocket. Then he threw it onto the ground. "Grow larger, fast!" The Qinghong showed its true form, a body over six meters long laying across the road, its four claws touching the ground, head held high, and its long tail swishing behind it flexibly. An excited growl came from its mouth, happy to be back in the Star Realm with its dense ether energy. Ji Xinghuo patted the Qinghong’s head and threw a large chunk of meat into its mouth. While it was eating the meat, he jumped onto its back. The transformed "Lizard-Shaped Jiao" Qinghong had one advantage over its previous form, being very well suited as a mount now. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No saddle was needed—riding was perfect on the spine of Qinghong, with its width and height just right. "Start running." Commanded Ji Xinghuo. After swallowing the chunk of meat in its mouth, Qinghong immediately started to sprint, kicking its limbs into motion. Its body was more slender than the average lizard, resembling a four-legged snake. When it ran, its limbs took turns hitting the ground in a somewhat awkward manner, but its speed was very high. Ji Xinghuo hardly felt any jolts, a ride much smoother than horseback. The scenery on both sides quickly receded as the wind roared past his ears. Ji Xinghuo roughly estimated Qinghong’s running speed to be over 100 kilometers per hour, and that was just its regular sprinting speed; at full burst, it could easily double that. With Qinghong’s stamina, it could keep running for seven or eight hours before feeling tired. Along the way. Whenever Qinghong dashed past other Hunting Teams, it caused a stir, but before they could even assemble a defensive formation, Qinghong had already sped off into the distance. Riding on its back, Ji Xinghuo passed one team after another. No one dared to provoke him. Without even lifting a finger himself, the mere aura emitted by Qinghong was enough to scare the Mutants witless. In just over an hour, Qinghong had run out of the human territory, and the road had disappeared as well. Ji Xinghuo discerned the direction and continued westward. As night fell, he was already over five hundred kilometers away from Free City. In the past, it would have taken two days to cover this distance with Sister Ren and the others, but he did not camp. He activated electromagnetic induction to scan the surroundings and let Qinghong keep running through the night until Star Night arrived, and finally, Qinghong grew tired. Ji Xinghuo found a place to camp in the forest, hunted a spotted elk for Qinghong’s dinner. After daybreak, they set off again. On the third day. A familiar cliff and valley appeared before them, with Qinghong stopping at the edge of a cliff, Ji Xinghuo rode on its back, looking out ahead. "Peak Valley!" He was all too familiar with this place. Qinghong too let out an excited roar, the sound sharp and thin as a baby’s, but it was clear it was delighted now that Peak Valley was virtually its old home. "Let’s go in." Ji Xinghuo gently tapped Qinghong’s neck, and it instantly leaped from the cliff, its four sharp claws digging firmly into the rock face, climbing down the wall as easily as a gecko and easily reaching the ground, rushing through the dense woods and underbrush of the valley. Not long after, electromagnetic induction detected a large group of Stone Scythe Demons. And it was a big group. "It’s been a long time since I’ve played assassin." Ji Xinghuo held the Invisible Stab in his hand and urged Qinghong to charge towards the direction of the Stone Scythe Demon group. At a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, the Stone Scythe Demons came into view. Ji Xinghuo jumped down from Qinghong’s back, and as he landed, he activated his Stealth Ring to conceal his form, while Qinghong shrunk to a few centimeters in length and climbed onto his body. Soon, they were within the shooting range of the Invisible Stab. Ji Xinghuo expertly climbed up a large tree and stood on the treetop. He drew the bowstring, aiming at the largest elite in the group of Stone Scythe Demons, and shot an arrow.
