Ding Meng was very familiar with the interior of the teleportation formation. It was a world of colorful light. The energy provided by the holy tree was very warm, as if one was surrounded by warm water. There was an indescribable sense of pleasure. Under the cleansing of this wonderful energy, one would slowly fall asleep.
Ding Meng was familiar with this feeling. He did not enter the space of consciousness and let the tiredness hit him. He, who had not really slept for many years, slowly fell asleep on top of the girls.
After an unknown amount of time, Ding Meng felt a gentle breeze brushing past his face. Only then did he open his eyes. What entered his eyes was a lush blue-green forest. He was lying in the middle of the forest. Beside him was a towering tree. This was undoubtedly a grand scale Mou Xing Sacred Tree.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Ding Meng revealed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time. He had been here before, and when he left, he had said that he would return one day.
Now that he had come back alive, he felt as if he had returned to his hometown. This was the Pandora star system's V4 Poison Barrier. Back then, he had helped Meng Yan, Xue Yan, and Ren Tianlan to remove the poison. He did not expect the Dark Night Demoness to be so powerful. From the Flame Star in the hinterland of the Devouring Realm, she had teleported him to the southern outer space of the Holy Grail Federation. This was a real interstellar journey.
However, Ding Meng could not be envious of her ability. After he got up, he decisively woke everyone up.
As soon as the girls woke up, they were immediately surprised, especially Eisendale. She still did not know what had happened.
"Pandora star system's V4?" Lan Bing was also surprised. "You defeated that widow?"
Ding Meng smiled. "Anyway, we are safe now."
The girls were overjoyed, especially Jun Ling and Lu Qing. Their biggest wish was to leave the dark Flame Star. At least now they could see natural light, and that was enough.
"Don't activate your wristbands yet!" Ding Meng said to Eisendale.
The Federation's Southern Great Wall Patrol Fleet had a chance of discovering this place. Ding Meng was now a wanted criminal, and it would be bad if their location was exposed. Both Ding Meng and Ding Meng were now seriously injured. If Sheng Hao Xinhong's fighters came, they would be in big trouble.
Ding Meng did not wake Fang Yihui up. Instead, he led the group to the campsite behind the clearing. If he remembered correctly, the Divine Arrow Spaceship was docked in the depths of the forest.
However, he was soon disappointed. Little Rascal, Xin Jie, and the others were not here. The Divine Arrow Spaceship had also disappeared. It seemed that they had moved ahead of time.
After entering the plant room where Xueyan had lived, Ding Meng found that all the facilities in the command center had been removed. Little Rascal and the others probably knew about their situation and left Planet V4 for safety reasons.
However, after scanning for a long time, Ding Meng still found a small old metal box in the corner. The box had an inconspicuous green leafy grass logo printed on it. He could not help but smile. "They still left a clue. They knew I would come back and were afraid I would not be able to contact them."
Jun Ling asked curiously, "What kind of signal is this?"
Ding Meng smiled. "This is the logo of a grassroots empire."
If it were anyone else, they would not be able to recognize this logo, but Ding Meng knew at a glance that it was definitely left behind by Xin Jie.
After the photon computer was turned on, there was no signal link. Instead, large chunks of data and code appeared automatically. Not long after, there was a whooshing sound outside.
Running out of the house to take a look, Ding Meng saw a long-distance transmission array being formed. Ding Meng smiled. "I knew that with Xin Jie's cautiousness, he would leave a way out. Take the A.I. and let's go!"
Jun Ling asked, "What about Fang Yihui?
Do we still care about him? "
Eisendale shook her head. "I don't think so. His wristband is the military's enhanced model. When he wakes up, he can directly contact the patrol fleet at the Great Wall in the south."
Everyone once again entered the Qu Ying teleportation portal. After about three to five minutes of white energy flashing, everyone's eyes lit up. They found themselves on a vast helipad. Parked beside them was the mighty and domineering Divine Arrow spaceship.
Two people stood under the spaceship's connecting cabin. When they saw Ding Meng, Jin Tai and Sweet Fruit could not help but cheer. "It's Brother Ding Meng. Brother Ding Meng is back. Brother Ding Meng is back. Brother Ding Meng is back."
A lazy voice came from inside the connecting cabin. "I knew this kid would be able to find the photon computer I left behind."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ding Meng couldn't help but quickly step forward. Xin Jie's unruly face appeared in front of her: "Big Sis, I've already said that this brat can't be killed. Do you believe me now?"
Behind Xin Jie, Ding Wenhe slowly walked out. When she saw Ding Meng, she also revealed a smile.
Ding Wenhe let out a long sigh. "Ding Meng, you've been gone for three years. Thank the heavens you've come back alive."
"Three years?"
Ding Meng was a little surprised. He remembered that only a year had passed. Could it be that the Dark Night Demoness had used the holy tree's teleportation to take so much time?
"It's good that you're back. Let's go in and talk!" Ding Wenhe said.
"You've gained a lot from your trip to the Fertile Chalk System."
Xin Jie looked at the group of women behind Ding Meng. He had seen Jun Ling, Lu Qing, and Su Lingyue before. He had also heard of Lan Bing, but Eisendale was an outsider.
However, Xin Jie's eyes had always been sharp. He could tell at a glance that these women had a close relationship with Ding Meng. He could not help but put an arm around Ding Meng's shoulder. "Kid, you're almost an idiot. I didn't expect you to have such good taste in women."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "This is called ugly people have their own advantages. Someone as handsome as you is still single."
Xin Jie laughed. "I'm so handsome that normal women don't even dare to get close. You've worked hard these past few years. How about it?
Do you want a steak? "
Ding Meng's eyes lit up. "There's food on the ship?"
Xin Jie smiled. "There's been food for a long time. Sister Yan brought a lot of daily necessities from the Dragon-slaying Group."
Ding Meng did not even turn his head. "Let's go. Take me to eat!"
Once they entered the spaceship, the cold command hall quickly welcomed a long-awaited liveliness. First, Little Rascal and Xiao Ai came out of the sensor cabin.
"Ding Meng, you're finally willing to come back. Huh?
You have so many girlfriends?
Let me take a good look … "Little Rascal's appearance had not changed much, but his personality was still as weird as ever.
Xiao Ai's height had obviously increased, and the cold aura around her was more obvious. When she saw Ding Meng, she just nodded slightly. "Ding Meng, you're back just in time. Let me show you my speed."
Ding Meng could not help but be shocked. Xiao Ai's entire body gave off the aura of a high-level Combat Lord, and this aura was so pure that even he could not compare to it. This was the real Mou Xing Shenguang Technology. It seemed that Little Rascal and Xiao Ai had improved by leaps and bounds while he was away.
Aside from Little Rascal and Xiao Ai, Dai Yi, Meng Yan, Su Xia, and Liang Yi were also there. When they saw their long-lost friends, Liang Yi, Lu Qing, and the others immediately made a scene. They hugged each other, crying and laughing. Everyone had come all the way here from the God Wars Starfield. The sisters of the Water Sakura Association were finally reunited.
When Dai Yi saw Ding Meng, she wanted to go up and hug him, but she suddenly saw Lan Bing and Eisendale behind Ding Meng. As a sensitive woman, she immediately restrained this impulse. At this moment, everyone's positions were very subtle. Lan Bing and Meng Yan were the closest, so they naturally went to the resting area to chat. Little Rascal had always approved of Dai Yi, so he naturally went to Ding Meng's side.
Dai Yi took the initiative to hold Ding Meng's arm. Eisendale's eyelids also drooped. "You must be Miss Dai, right?"
Dai Yi was very polite. "I haven't asked for your name yet."
Eisendale said, "I must be your elder sister. You can just call me Sister Ai."
Dai Yi was a little unnatural. "This surname is very rare. Eirinn also has this surname."
Eisendale said decisively, "Eirinn?
Which Eirinn?
The Eirinn from the Rainbow Gold Group in Blue Pole Star City? "
Dai Yi was stunned. "You know her?"
Eisendale said, "Is her father called Ai Huasheng?"
Dai Yi was stunned. "Yes, you …"
Eisendale smiled. "Ai Huasheng is my distant cousin. It seems that I'm one generation older than you. You should call me Auntie."
Dai Yi was surprised. "It can't be that coincidental, right?"
…
The group of women quickly chatted. Ding Meng and Little Rascal Xin Jie came to the workbench.
Only then did Ding Meng establish a psychic model and transmit everything that had happened during this period of time to them. She then reached out to summon the Divine Light Singularity, took out the suitcase-shaped crystal carrier matrix, and solemnly handed it to Little Rascal.
Little Rascal caressed the suitcase and couldn't help but feel sad. "His name is Rong Xing. He was the great general of the Mou Xing Dynasty. He taught me and Xiao Ai cultivation when we were young. When we evacuated, he risked his life to protect me. I didn't expect him to be dead."
Ding Meng sighed. "Without him, I would have been killed by Ling Xingqi on Planet Poison Dragon."
Xiao Ai said, "Fortunately, he passed his legacy to you. With this suitcase of hard-earned energy, we can repair the spaceship and have the confidence to deal with the Black Handprint."
Ding Meng frowned. "Did the Black Handprint cause trouble for you while I was away?"
Xin Jie smiled bitterly. "They didn't cause trouble for them, but they kept causing trouble for me. This organization can't be underestimated. They have a lot of experts in the field of red guests."
Ding Meng asked, "Where are we now?"
Xin Jie said, "This is Pandora V12. The people of the Federation can't find this place for now, so it's relatively safe."
The meaning of his words was clear. It was almost impossible for them to return to the Holy Grail Federation. At the very least, Ding Meng and Lan Bing couldn't go back. It would be difficult for the others to enter without identity. Only Meng Yan and Eisendale could go.
Ding Meng pondered and said, "I want to go to the Norse Empire."
Little Rascal knew what he was thinking. He was still brooding over Zhao Yue's death. As his student, Ding Meng had to find out the reason behind it.
Xin Jie said, "It's more appropriate to go to the Norse Empire. This place is relatively close to the Norse Empire, so it won't be hard to get you there. Plus, you're a citizen of the Norse Empire and a member of the military."
Little Rascal said, "Let's talk about it after you've recovered. There are probably a lot of people looking for you right now. It's good to lie low for a while. Besides, it'll take a long time for us to repair the spaceship."
