Night of Despair-Chapter 464 - 462 Peaceful Four
Yu Hong felt a jolt in his heart and hurried over to quickly move the debris.
After they dug Ku Chan out from underground, his waist had been flattened by something unknown, smashed to about the thickness of a palm.
As if a small road roller had rolled over his waist.
It was too tragic.
Yu Hong couldn’t bear to look directly, but noticed that Ku Chan still seemed spirited.
"It’s fortunate that you are a Heavenly Master Mage... you can change bodies if this one is gone," he sighed.
"Don’t... Alliance Hierarch, where can I find another body to switch into around here?!" Ku Chan groaned.
"There are plenty of white rats over there, just make do with one for now," Yu Hong sighed.
"I don’t think I’m at that point yet..." Ku Chan fell silent, then said.
"Then try healing yourself first, if that fails, pick one and try it," Yu Hong helplessly suggested.
"Don’t worry... I still know some healing spells!" Ku Chan gritted his teeth. "I even have a master’s degree in cellular genetics!"
Yu Hong shook his head and walked to the side to check on Yiyi. Yiyi was relatively okay, having been smashed into the fireplace with Chi Xiao. The confined space had actually protected them from more serious injury.
Except her foot was pierced through by the Chi Xiao Sword Handle. Now she had passed out from the collision.
Yu Hong pulled her out, treated her wounds a bit, then went to check on Ku Chan, finding he had used some unknown method to restore his waist.
Finally, he felt relieved.
"We’ve only just left the house, right...?" He surveyed the chaotic room and sighed, "Do I have some kind of disaster-prone constitution?"
"As long as people are okay, don’t worry," Ku Chan struggled to shift his position.
"Alliance Hierarch, I suggest you’d better check what’s going on outside. I have a bad feeling," he warned.
Yu Hong nodded.
"You reminded me just in time, but I already sensed it earlier. Indeed, it’s not good. Now there’s good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Can I hear the bad news first?" Ku Chan exhaled, "Sugar tastes sweeter at the end."
"The bad news is, the ship is broken again, and we might be lost, not knowing where we’ve arrived. One thing I can confirm is we’ve left that destroyed world," Yu Hong said.
"And the good news?"
"The good news is, we’ve successfully passed through the mountain-blocked river outlet."
"So, does that mean we can’t even go back if we want to?" Ku Chan asked.
"You understand it well," Yu Hong responded calmly.
He walked to the shattered window, looking out at a chaotic, rainbow-like halo.
The halo was like many colors of paint mixed together but not blending.
Each color was stirred into messy lines.
All the lines crisscrossed and intertwined, like a dazzlingly colorful abstract painting.
"After that collision, it seems we are no longer anywhere near Black River... I also don’t know where this place is," he watched the continuously shifting colorful lines outside the window and reached out, trying to gently touch them.
Hiss.
The fingertips that touched were emitted a faint white vapor, seemingly corroded.
"The only thing I can be sure of is that this is not the Black Disaster’s depths, nor a Spirit Disaster, Wind Disaster, or Light Disaster," he retracted his hand, seeing a white scar forming on his fingertip.
"What should we do?" Ku Chan said hopelessly.
"I need some time to repair things, don’t worry, I’ll handle it," Yu Hong responded, "The most urgent task now is to repair the outer protective array and the outer walls. Otherwise, I’ll have to isolate the inside and outside using my Inner Strength alone which is too draining."
"Also, our stored food and drink were all destroyed..." he continued, although the raw materials were mixed up, he could restore them using Black Mark.
But it was not cost-effective.
Safety was the priority.
For food and drink, making do with what they had should work.
"Good thing we didn’t leave the ship... otherwise..." Ku Chan recalled everything that had happened and still felt terrified.
"Let’s repair the place first." Yu Hong waved a hand, and Speed Men appeared one after another.
"Go tidy up the room," he commanded.
Thirty Speed Men, under the effect of Extreme Summoning, took less than half an hour to tidy and clean the room anew.
Meanwhile, Yu Hong had already placed his hand on the wall, beginning to mend the safe house using Black Mark.
A bright red countdown soon appeared on the wall, visible only to him.
’19 Days 11 Hours 24 Minutes.’
"It looks severely damaged, repair will take a long time," Yu Hong sighed.
"I think we shouldn’t keep any containers that are uncovered or unfixed inside," Ku Chan suggested.
"Good point," Yu Hong nodded. He immediately began discussing with Ku Chan how to deal with and prevent such situations in future.
Time went by gradually.
Soon, more than an hour passed.
The colorful lines outside the window gradually began to fade, and the emitted light grew thinner.
Finally.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sharp noise of rustling branches and leaves came from outside the house.
Puff.
The safe house suddenly stopped.
Yu Hong frowned and looked outside, trying to restart the safe house, but it was no longer responsive, except shaking a bit, there were no other reactions.
He walked to the window to look outside.
Outside was lush and verdant, filled with tall dark green trees, dense gray shrubs and roots, and weeds more than a person tall.
"Looks like we’ve arrived at the next place," he turned back and said.
"Not the ship breaking down, is it?" Chi Xiao wondered.
"Yes, it’s broken and can’t move anymore, so this is our next stop. Otherwise, who knows, it might still be able to move." Yu Hong helplessly nodded.
"You think you’re quite humorous, don’t you?" Chi Xiao scoffed.
Slap.
His forehead was slapped by Ku Chan.
"Show some respect to the Alliance Hierarch!" Ku Chan said sternly.
"I..." Chi Xiao’s frustration boiled over, "You dare to hit an old man like me...!!"
Slap slap slap!!
Ku Chan, dragging his broken body, went up and slapped Chi Xiao several times, leaving him a bit dazed.
No damage, but extremely humiliating.
"You damn brat!! If it wasn’t for your injuries right now!!" Chi Xiao roared in anger.
"When I wasn’t injured, you wouldn’t dare either," Ku Chan’s expression remained unchanged.
Yu Hong didn’t pay attention to their bickering and stood by the window, looking outside.
"I mean, if we don’t disembark, how are we going to replenish our supplies?"
"Guess we’ll have to dig the soil and plant our own food... and these branches, leaves, insects, should all be edible," Ku Chan answered.
"I’ll try..." As Yu Hong was about to try, his gaze suddenly fixed, and he looked up into the distance.

There, although blocked by thick branches, his eyesight was exceptionally strong. Clearly, outside the forest, an enormous creature was slowly flying by.
That creature, at least thirty meters in length, almost as big as Agrius but much bulkier.
Just its height was over ten meters.
Its whole body was pure white, covered with snake-like scales.
That was clearly a gracefully beautiful, pure white dragon.
A snake-necked white dragon with wings.
’Typical Western dragon appearance...’ This was the second time Yu Hong encountered such a creature.
The last time was the old witch Marissa at Black River.
The white dragon gazed down at the forest below, seemingly noticing the broken Black Black Spirit.
Whoosh.
It flapped its wings, circling above before finding a focal point and promptly descending.
Amidst the crashing and snapping sounds.
The white dragon forcefully made a nest in the forest, landing at a spot in front of the safe house.
Yu Hong observed this beautiful creature.
Its scales were as shiny as a mirror, and through the space pushed open behind, the tip of a pure white snow-capped mountain was visible.
Thud.
The white dragon gently landed on the ground, lowered its head, and with its large blue eyes, closely examined the inside of the house.
"Can you speak?" Yu Hong asked in Night Language.
The white dragon shook its head.
"....." Yu Hong, Ku Chan, and Chi Xiao.
"I apologize, it wasn’t intentional. I’m using Divine Intent to communicate, it’s a special Dragon Language spell," the white dragon finally spoke, its voice that of a very young man.
"You all, look like humans?" It asked a seemingly rhetorical question.
"Does that mean, there might be non-humans here?" Yu Hong replied with a question.
"Better that you’re humans. One moment." The white dragon said no more, turned around, and flew out, his powerful wings smashing open obstructing branches.
It took about five minutes. The white dragon descended from the sky again, landing gently.
It opened one wing, from beneath it, pulled out a wrinkled baby.
The baby, wrapped in a dirty brown diaper, eyes tightly shut, motionless, lying on the dragon’s wing scales, seemed on the brink of death.
But Yu Hong knew it was still alive; though not too far away, he could feel its heart still beating.
"What’s this?" Yu Hong looked towards the white dragon.
"I was chasing a group of my enemies; this was found in the ruins left after their attack. He’s still breathing; whether you want to save him is up to you," the white dragon gently placed the baby by the window. "Although your carriage looks rather poor, apparently severely damaged by violence, you have women here who should be able to care for this child," the white dragon said somberly.
"It’s my first time speaking with a dragon," Ku Chan stood up with support, looking through the window at the white dragon.
"I also hold a favorable view towards humans who maintain a friendly attitude," the white dragon spoke softly.
Ku Chan nodded, then looked back at Yu Hong.
"Alliance Hierarch, can none of us disembark? Is there a way to bypass this restriction?"
"I’m not sure, but... now that the ship is broken, I guess going down means we won’t be able to come back up..." Yu Hong patted the window ledge; the safe house and Black Light’s dots in his mind had dimmed, turning into a grayish lump, floating in his memory, waiting to be fixed.
"The restriction mainly applies to the captain; it doesn’t limit you," Yu Hong recalled his conversation with Brother Hu, replying.
"Good." Ku Chan looked at the dying baby, decisively flipped out of the window break.
Then he came before the expanses of the white dragon’s wings.
His stature in comparison to the white dragon, twenty meters wide and over thirty meters long.
Looked like a black bean next to a large white rag. Inconspicuous.
"I can help save him temporarily, but we’re out of supplies, no food or drink, he can’t survive on that alone. So, can you help us restock?" He too communicated his message with mental intent.
Such a spell, magicians also have.
Perhaps because the methods used were different, a hint of surprise appeared in the white dragon’s large blue eyes.
"Are you a mage too? To have two mages in one carriage? That’s quite rare."
It pondered briefly.
It shook its head.
"I’m sorry, I have other important things to do. This is your human child, I’ve already done quite a lot by bringing him here."
