This uncertain yet crucial future is precisely what motivates them to commit everything.

Therefore, in many cases, the gods deliberately control the frequency of miracles.

Miracles occurring too frequently can actually make people less devout because they happen too close to the public.

Seeing Cheryl's devout expression, Nemus knew the church's plans.

Through a special juncture, he forcibly connects himself with Cheryl, projecting his need for maternal love onto Cheryl.

Then he attempted to influence Nemus step by step through Cheryl's understanding of faith.

It's even quite possible that the other people who were on this mission together were specially arranged.

Sometimes, it is precisely the contrast with these demons and monsters that makes Cheryl, who is willing to sacrifice herself for her beliefs, appear so 'noble and great'.

If Nems is really just a child a little over a year old, then given his immature mind, there's a very high probability that this series of attacks would actually instill his faith in him.

The bone ship flew through the air, and Nemus and the others could only stay in the cabin and could not go out, for fear of disturbing the calamity.

The entire bone ship rapidly flew into the sky, and then, under Hayes's control, it tried to capture the scent of the floating whale in the air in order to locate the Azure Whale.

However, Hayes's expression changed the next moment.

Chapter 485 Chain of Calamities

"What's wrong?" The Holy Walker, who had previously been called an old pervert by Hayes, now keenly sensed the problem.

Andron, who had been looking down as if asleep, raised his head at that moment, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes.

"We've encountered a calamity creature." Hayes never hesitated for a moment when it came to matters of life and death, and immediately explained the situation.

The bone ship can mimic the aura of a floating whale.

This kind of energy can actually help to suppress calamities.

Therefore, for the floating whale, the calamity will only slowly spread its influence according to the flow of its breath, then induce the creatures on it to first transform into dangerous creatures, and then give birth to the corresponding calamity creatures.

So under normal circumstances, as long as luck isn't too bad, the bone ship won't encounter too many problems flying in mid-air between the dark sky and the blue sky.

After all, golden-haired whales often fly on the backs of floating whales.

Under these circumstances, they shouldn't have encountered the calamity creature so quickly.

Especially since the legendary Nemus species also exists on the ship.

But now, through the bone ship's sensory abilities, he sensed that a calamity-inducing creature was approaching from not far away.

Big, whom Hayes considered a power-hungry individual, immediately stood up, and the answer quickly came to him from the depths of his thoughts.

“It seems the fictional demon was prepared all along.” Big looked out of the bone ship, where a dark dot could be vaguely seen.

The fog gradually spread silently, carrying with it a sense of unease and foreboding.

"Demons are generally well-versed in forbidden knowledge. Given their ability to fabricate demons, it wouldn't be difficult for them to anticipate that we would launch a surprise attack against them."

"Then by setting up forbidden bait around the area, we can make the calamity creatures here active."

"That's most likely the case." The Holy Walker nodded, acknowledging Big's guess.

Generally, creatures prone to calamity prefer to roam the land, as they are accustomed to the thick aura of calamity emanating from it.

Unless stimulated by life forms other than those of floating whales, most calamity creatures that are born to fly will only fly at low altitudes.

Over the past thousand years, an ecosystem of calamity-causing organisms has already formed on the ground.

Therefore, encountering calamity creatures so quickly after using a bone ship is definitely not a natural event.

In response, Nems and others immediately made preparations.

"Kill them quickly!" Without saying much, Big stood up, walked to the not-so-large deck of the bone ship, and a longsword forged from water appeared in his hand.

He squinted, his body emanating a faint aura, and the surrounding clouds seemed to shift for a moment.

Sword Saint's Swordsmanship - Sword of the Sea!

If the floating whale is a fish, then the sky is the sea.

The sea governs the sky.

Before the distant black dot could react, it felt its body instantly lose its balance.

In that instant, the air was no longer air, but countless waves.

Its body and posture, originally adapted to flying in the sky, were also disrupted at this moment.

Before the calamity creature could even adapt to this chaos, it felt countless warm yet sharp sword energies seeping into its body from every orifice, then completely annihilating it into fragments.

These fragments didn't even have a hint of blood before they were all annihilated by the sword energy.

After Big finished doing all this, he quickly sheathed his sword and concealed his aura.

At the same time, Hayes quickly maneuvered the bone ship to change its orientation.

Although Biggs had tried his best to control the effects with his swordsmanship, at this moment, there was still a trace of sensation on the other calamity creatures.

Thus, Hayes, the pilot of the bone ship, was able to clearly sense the unusual activity coming from the ground.

Some of the calamity creatures that were originally moving on the earth began to show various fluctuations at this moment, and then they soared into the sky.

Even the lowest-ranking calamity creatures on the earth are all steel-level creatures possessing the three characteristics of calamity.

More often, there are various golden creatures. Once they reach this point, they will naturally gain the ability to fly using the power of calamity.

After the bone ship left, four or five gold-level calamity creatures immediately gathered at the spot where the calamity creature had died.

They are trying hard to sniff out the scents and constantly sensing the environment.

Calamity creatures may lack intelligence, but that doesn't mean they lack brains.

They sensed the problem and began to search in different directions, trying to find the anomaly.

As for Nemus and his companions, they could only choose to quietly fly away from here, and then use their speed advantage to disguise themselves as floating whales flying away normally.

This disguise is actually very fragile, but there's no other way to hide it.

Beads of sweat appeared on Hayes' forehead; this was the worst-case scenario.

Bigger acted swiftly and his cleansing of the aura was highly professional.

However, this is how calamity creatures are; their senses completely exceed those of normal life forms, and are entirely connected by calamity.

In this situation, no matter how professional the treatment, it is impossible to completely prevent the calamity creature from sensing anything.

This is basically a vicious cycle.

Killing one calamity creature will attract the attention of other calamities.

In this region, the distribution of calamity creatures will increase.

Next, some calamity creatures will eventually overcome their aversion to the aura of the floating whales and head towards their disguised bone ship.

A chain reaction will inevitably occur at that time.

Even if they don't, the probability of them encountering calamity creatures during their subsequent search will be greatly increased.

As the connection between the 'floating whales' and the 'death of calamity creatures' grows stronger, their disguise will eventually crumble.

Once broken, the Earth Calamity will immediately realize the problem, and then the army of calamities will surround it.

“I suggest we retreat first and return to Black Sky.” Hayes immediately had the idea of ​​retreating and offered a suggestion for a temporary withdrawal.

There isn't much of a problem with this proposal.

Returning to the Black Sky and waiting for the calamity in this area to subside and for fewer calamity creatures to appear before searching again will maximize your safety.

"No!" However, this suggestion was immediately opposed by some people.

Big and the Holy Walker both opposed Hayes's proposal, and their reasons were quite valid.

"Given the current situation, if we leave, there will be even fewer traces of the calamity after the outbreak of chaos."

"It will only be more difficult for us to find any trace of the Azure Whale then."

Although the floating whale is large, the sky and earth are equally vast.

The blue-sky whale has only been occupied for a little over a month, so its activity pattern cannot be changed much yet.

If they return to the Black Sky this time, they will most likely lose track of the Azure Sky.

The blue-eyed whale did not give birth in September this year, so it did not need to mate with the baby whale.

It will probably be several months before we can find the Azure Whale again by sensing the scent of its own kind.

Are these people just going to wait in the dark for months?

Chapter 486 This is Azure Whale, I am Mocania!

The Holy Walker is a fictional demon possessing the Azure Whale, an evil force that cannot be ignored.

Big, on the other hand, was thinking purely from a mission-oriented perspective.

These people were all in the upper echelons of the church. Apart from the Pope, cardinals, and saints, no one had a higher status or position than them.

Even though Jia Lisi was nominally a cardinal trainee, in terms of status, she was no higher than them.

These people are all very busy. So many floating whales, plus the territory of the Central Plains, and billions of people, are all waiting for them to make decisions.

If they are idle for several months, it is equivalent to a power vacuum for several months.

Based on his understanding of those people, he knew they would never allow this situation to occur and would naturally take over their power.

This is only one aspect; the bigger problem lies in the impact of this event itself.

They consist of seven top-tier gold-level fighters working together, and can also summon two saints at any time.

As a result, he was forced to retreat by some minor calamity creatures. His political enemies would never give up on this and would definitely use it to attack him.

Therefore, refunds are not possible!

Big's attitude was very firm, as were the others.

Alice, who hadn't spoken until now, smiled and firmly stated that a woman cannot say no.

Andron, on the other hand, looked out the window with interest. He found this predicament amusing and would not choose to back down.

Nemus, maintaining his status as the Holy Son, naturally could not agree to it.

The only one who might agree with Hayes was Adrian, whom he described as having a liking for married women.

Seeing that others disagreed, he chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Hayes didn't say anything more.

He was rational enough to know that his proposal was unlikely to be approved, but such a proposal was not going to succeed on the first try.

The more difficulties they encounter, the more firmly his proposal will take root in their hearts.

People tend to automatically romanticize the alternative path they didn't choose.

Although everyone here is a golden-type extreme with a firm will, as long as they are still human, they cannot escape this kind of psychological change.

After some time, when he made the suggestion again, the number of people interested only increased.

Finally, if a genuine force majeure event occurs, then choosing to retreat will be the most correct decision.

Fortunately, it was perhaps Nemus's special ability, "Legendary Journey," that came into play at this moment.

Although the number of scourge creatures in the region is increasing, they have not been discovered immediately.

Furthermore, these calamity creatures appeared to be relatively well-behaved; none of the calamity creatures that broke their instincts and came to seek out the 'floating whale's' bad luck appeared.

In addition, they successfully detected the scent of the Azure Whale.

"It should be jet trails. About ten days ago, the Azure Whale jetted here." Although Hayes wanted to mess things up, he couldn't lie when something actually happened.

"Use this point as the center for investigation, then determine the next blow point of the Azure Whale, thus establishing the basic trajectory!" Hayes immediately took action.

No one else had much to say about Hayes's actions.

This is already the optimal solution.

Whales have a wide range of activity, especially when they are controlled by humans. The distance they can fly in a day can be as far as the north or south of the country.

At this point, the only thing that can be done is to determine the jet trajectory to calculate the direction of the floating whale's movement and then make a trajectory prediction.
