630: He's not your dad.

“Is he so unconstrained just because he’s the top Genius of our Hunter Civilization?”

“He’s only Rank 27 now, and he’s already like this. If he becomes a Domain Warrior one day, won’t he be even more reckless?”

“We Yellow Demons are the rulers of the Hunter Civilization, unlike those undisciplined Silver Demons. Everything must have rules and regulations!”

This Hunter Alien Civilization member, with an extraordinary demeanor, had a faint golden glint on his tongue, and his expression was serious.

At this moment, he was like a company leader, conducting a friendly inquiry with an underperforming team.

“Captain Kadira, Xu Chengshuang’s playful nature is indeed a bit strong, and his attitude a bit lax, due to his exceptionally high talent.”

“But today’s mission involves the Giant Civilization, and it’s different from our usual tasks of hunting Sky Soaring Warriors from Small Civilizations.”

“I believe he has a sense of proportion in such matters.”

After a brief silence, a Hunter Alien Civilization member with 26 barbs on his back spoke up.

“Yes, Captain Kadira, why don’t we wait a bit longer? Xu Chengshuang understands the importance of such a crucial mission involving the Giant Civilization. He wouldn’t be absent like he might for a regular hunting mission.”

“Perhaps he was delayed by some inconspicuous Small Civilization on the way here.”

The other four also quickly echoed this sentiment.

The fewest barbs on their backs numbered 26. Including Xu Chengshuang, who hadn't arrived yet, this was a team of seven Advanced Aerial Warriors.

And they were Yellow Demons of the Hunter Civilization!

Compared to the three-person team from the Orc Civilization that Chen Du encountered before, this seven-person team was naturally the elite of the elites.

Kadira turned around, looking at the distant horizon, lost in thought.

The 29 barbs on his back gave off a strong sense of suffocation.

In this Floating Plate, without a large-scale war, a Rank 29 Advanced Aerial Warrior was the ceiling!

“Xing Yue.”

“Your ability is supportive. Help me find Xu Chengshuang’s location. We’ll go and meet up with him. I don’t want to miss the mission time. I’ll settle his tardiness with him later.”

Kadira said indifferently, his back to the four.

“Yes.”

Among the four, the Hunter Alien Civilization member who had spoken first responded... “The trend of the flame in the scorch mark is growing. We should be getting close to your father’s location. From the looks of it, he should be in the central to slightly core area of the Floating Plate.”

“You said his Rank is 26. This location roughly corresponds to that Rank.”

Chen Du glanced at the life card in his hand and said indifferently.

The Floating Plate is roughly divided into three areas: the outer region, the central region, and the core region.

The outer region is generally where Sky Soaring Warriors with Life Strength between Rank 20 and Rank 24 roam.

The central region is where Advanced Aerial Warriors with Life Strength between Rank 25 and Rank 27 roam.

The innermost core region is naturally where Advanced Aerial Warriors with Life Strength between Rank 28 and Rank 29 roam.

The Floating Plate has no clear markings. Each Civilization has different entry and exit points, so their recognition points also vary, but they are all more or less the same.

These rules were summarized through time and the lives and deaths of countless Sky Soaring Warriors. Everyone is accustomed to them and silently observes them as an invisible rule.

This division of areas is not absolute. You might encounter a Rank 29 Advanced Aerial Warrior, or even a Domain Warrior, in the outer region. These are not unusual.

They don't necessarily avoid these places, but by following these summarized rules, your survival probability will be much higher.

“Hmm.”

Moreit nodded, an undisguised tension in his eyes.

More than the environment here, he was more worried about his father’s current strange situation.

Fortunately, Chen Du was there, giving him a strong sense of security.

His father said the Floating Plate was very dangerous, but he and Chen Du hadn't encountered any danger on their journey so far.

Chen Du had now slowed his speed to ten times the speed of sound. This speed was calculated by the High Martial Civilization as the safest speed for the current section of the road.

Although it was his first time in the Floating Plate, the High Martial Civilization provided data support from behind, so he wasn't entirely inexperienced.

This was the entry section, and the danger level was not very high. When returning later, the danger level would triple.

There were many Alien Civilizations, similar to bandits, who specifically targeted Alien Civilizations preparing to leave.

Of course, some Alien Civilizations would also pretend to leave, thereby targeting the “bandit Alien Civilizations” in reverse.

In short, in this place, everyone fended for themselves.

The journey was relatively calm, and very few Alien Civilizations attacked Chen Du.

It was a bit embarrassing to admit, but the main credit for this belonged to Moreit!

It wasn’t anything he did, but rather that Chen Du had temporarily put the pisces pendant on him. Otherwise, his Rank 13 would have attracted a lot of curiosity in this place.

As a result, unless it was a Domain Warrior, others generally couldn't discern his Rank.

For these Alien Civilizations lurking in the dark, Chen Du and Moreit—one a Rank 27, the other with an indiscernible Rank—were heading straight for the core region without stopping.

Their first reaction was naturally: experts!

If the visible one was Rank 27, then how high was the Rank of the one whose Rank couldn't be seen?

Perhaps even a Domain Warrior!

So these two absolutely could not be provoked!

Even powerful Alien Civilizations would weigh the pros and cons and wouldn't specifically target such individuals. They would instinctively feel that these two were at least not easy to deal with.

This journey was much smoother than Chen Du had expected.

Later in the journey, he also realized that this was due to Moreit’s Schrödinger’s Rank.

So, during the subsequent flight, Chen Du positioned himself slightly behind, making it seem as if Moreit was the most powerful person in their two-person team.

“Getting close.”

Chen Du reminded him.

“Hmm.”

Moreit said with extreme seriousness.

Following the prompt from Mo Wuyan’s life card, the two entered a mountain range.

The mountain range was formed by countless peaks, its scale no less than an ecosystem.

The two walked through the valleys between the peaks, where the light was still quite sufficient.

The terrain here was winding, and Chen Du's flying speed was greatly reduced.

But fortunately, with the life card, the direction could be accurately determined by the size of the flame within the scorch mark.

“Dad!”

Led by Chen Du, Moreit finally saw the scene he most wanted to see and excitedly exclaimed instinctively.

Mo Wuyan was sitting alone by a pond, holding a wooden stick.

The stick had no line at the other end, yet he was in a fishing posture.

Hearing this, Mo Wuyan’s body trembled. He stood up and looked at Chen Du and Moreit.

Although Moreit was his son, 90% of his gaze was on Chen Du.

“A’Te, why are you here? It’s very dangerous.”

“Come here quickly and let Dad see if you’re hurt anywhere.”

Mo Wuyan was first startled, then asked with concern.

“Dad, you’re really not dead!”

“What happened to you before, and why have you been staying here all this time?”

“And what’s with your Little Flying Bug?”

Moreit said, looking at Mo Wuyan, who was completely unharmed. At this moment, most of his worries disappeared, and he stepped forward, walking over.

Just then.

A strong hand suddenly reached out from behind Moreit, pressing firmly on his shoulder, preventing him from moving even an inch.

At the same time, Chen Du’s low voice sounded in his ear:

“Don’t go over there, he’s not your dad.”
