The story of the Five Heroes of the Clouds is quite well-known in the Luofu Immortal Ship, so Bai Lu is naturally familiar with these five people; in fact, she is quite familiar with them.
Because Danfeng, one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, is actually considered half of Bailu's teacher. Bailu occasionally receives instruction from him. In addition, the Dragon Masters have also told Bailu some secret things.
For example, the fox-girl named Bai Heng actually had some connection with Bai Lu, but the Dragon Masters never explained why.
Bai Lu was puzzled when she saw Bai Heng.
"This is Tianyu, my beloved family and sister," Bai Heng introduced, pulling Tianyu along.
"Why do I feel like there's something strange about what you're saying?" Tianyu glanced at Bai Heng.
"Hello, Sister Baiheng, Sister Tianyu, we are the attendants and guards who take care of Lady Bailu," Yunyou and Huanxi said to Baiheng, then quietly retreated to a distance. Tianyu also quickly made an excuse to slip away, leaving the rest to Baiheng and Bailu, the mother and daughter.
"Sister Tianyu, come sit here." In another small pavilion in the courtyard, Yunyou beckoned Tianyu over.
As Tianyu walked over, Huanxi came out of the house with a few plates of melon seeds.
Then everyone started gossiping.
"Um, what do you need me for?" Bai Lu asked, standing on the chair.
Bai Lu's voice was cautious, and she didn't know why.
"Cough cough," Bai Heng was a little nervous because she wasn't prepared. She was only 1,600 years old and still in her youth. How could she have a daughter?
"I am your mother"
"...?"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" The onlookers in the pavilion were all incredibly shocked. Bai Heng's words were indeed correct, but why did they sound a little strange?
Bai Lu carefully examined Bai Heng.
Without hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed the number.
"Hey! Teacher! A fox spirit claims to be my mother!!!"
"No...it was me."
Bai Heng almost covered his face in embarrassment, completely at a loss for words.
"Who? That guy dares to say he's Bai Lu's..." A teleportation beam lit up in the courtyard, and several aged-looking dragon masters teleported directly to Bai Lu's side. Before they could finish speaking, they saw Bai Heng looking embarrassed.
The dragon masters quickly coughed a few times.
"Bai Lu, this young lady Bai Heng," they said to Bai Lu with kind smiles, "is indeed your mother."
"......?" Bai Lu had no idea what the Dragon Masters were up to.
However, before Bai Lu could lash out in anger, a dragon master immediately began to explain.
"Back then, Lord Yinyue and Yingxing of the Five Heroes of the Clouds used Baiheng's blood to create a dragon. After that dragon was killed by Jingliu, it formed the Chiming Egg."
Bai Lu opened her mouth, but couldn't speak. She had already understood the meaning behind the Dragon Master's words.
"That Vidyadhara egg, is that me?"
"Yes, Bai Heng's daughter is indeed your mother."
The dragon masters exchanged a few words quickly, then the teleportation light shone again, and they disappeared from the spot.
However, they had just left when the teleportation light came on again, but no one teleported over; only a voice was heard.
"Bai Lu, remember you have to go to school tomorrow morning."
"Know it"
Bai Lu answered subconsciously.
The courtyard then fell silent.
The two fox-like girls, one big and one small, and the young girl holding the light stared at each other.
“It’s been hundreds of years, and suddenly you’re saying I have a family member…” Bai Lu looked at Bai Heng with a conflicted expression.
Not all Vidyadharas are reborn from eggs after death, generation after generation. Some Vidyadharas marry or are married to non-Vidyadharas, and the resulting Vidyadhara eggs give birth to new Vidyadharas.
However, there are not many such Vidyadharas. Even if there are, they would seek out long-lived beings to find a lover, which would further reduce the likelihood of producing new Vidyadharas. After all, given the issue of lifespan, they hardly need any offspring.
Even before the Dragon Leap Ceremony, the lifespan of the Vidyadharas is around two thousand years. After the Dragon Leap Ceremony, they become true Vidyadharas, and their lifespan extends to ten thousand years. The dragon lords from fifty thousand years ago are still alive today; they have merely abdicated.
Bai Lu had long been accustomed to the life of the Chiming tribe, so the sudden mention of having a fox-woman mother left her quite bewildered.
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. I'm only 1,600 years old, still young. I'm also a bit lost to suddenly have a daughter. How about this, let's be sisters?" Bai Heng bent down and looked at Bai Lu with a smile.
"Ugh?"
"It's nothing. I don't really know how to get along with my daughter. Let's just call each other sisters. Come on, call me Sister Baiheng."
Bai Heng's smile was very gentle, and the fox ears on her head swayed gently.
"Sister Baiheng," Bai Lu called softly.
"Oh, there's nothing to be shy about, you can speak louder." Bai Heng really wanted to hug the petite and adorable Bai Lu, but he managed to restrain himself.
"Sister Baiheng!" Bai Lu called out with a smile.
"Mmm, Bai Lu is so cute!" Bai Heng hugged Bai Lu tightly and rubbed his face against hers affectionately.
"Hey, stop rubbing! It's a little itchy."
"How about I take you out to play? Not on the fairy ship, but to other places far away! Those places are so much fun and interesting!"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Bai Lu hesitated upon hearing this.
"What problem could there be? Who can say anything if I take you out to play!" Bai Heng said confidently as he continued to rub against Bai Lu.
"Since it's not really convenient to just play around here, let's go somewhere else!"
Bai Lu was completely smitten.
When are we leaving?
Bai Heng took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, Danheng, help me!"
A helpless sigh came from the other end of the phone.
"OK, let's run!"
"Uh-huh!"
Bai Heng and Bai Lu clapped each other happily, and then disappeared into the teleportation light before the astonished eyes of the onlookers.
"Damn it!!!"
"Bai Heng, you didn't take me with you!!!"
Side Story: Fifty Thousand Years Later (6)
"Hiss hiss hiss!" The swarm of insects, which blotted out the sky, almost covered the entire horizon of the planet. The hissing of the insects was like the tolling of the apocalypse bell, tolling the death knell for this planet.
Faced with such an overwhelming numerical advantage, it seemed that no one could stop this terrifying swarm of insects.
But even in dire straits, some people are still resisting.
At the North Pole of this planet stands a majestic, colossal defensive fortress, with all sorts of weapons already aimed at space.
A group of tall warriors clad in silver-white armor gripped their weapons, determined to fight the swarm of insects to the bitter end.
At a certain moment, the swarm of insects in space simultaneously began to unleash a dense barrage of destructive energy spheres at the planet. These energy spheres, capable of easily piercing through the entire planet, would instantly obliterate it into cosmic dust if they landed on it.
However, these energy spheres were firmly blocked in outer space by a thin, transparent shield.
The planetary shields of the Extreme Fortress are constantly generating planetary-level shields, blocking all the Zerg swarm's attacks.
After a few minutes of bombardment, the swarm changed tactics, reducing the bombardment of energy orbs by more than half, and a dozen swarm warships, each hundreds of meters in size, began to pass slowly through the planet's shield.
When they entered the planet, they were met by the fortress's heavy anti-aircraft firepower.
The Zerg fleet was targeted one by one, turning into charred remains or exploding into countless pieces in the sky.
But the swarm ignored the casualties, and one flying insect after another flew out of these swarm warships and began to dive directly toward the fortress.
The fortress's medium-range air defense network also began to operate.
However, there were simply too many insect swarms. A massive number of flying insects approached the fortress, and the short-range air defense network was activated.
"Get ready!" Inside the fortress, the chapter commander of the Grammer Chapter, responsible for protecting the planet, notified all the warriors in the fortress.
"What we have to do is hold out for 72 hours! Until reinforcements arrive!"
"clear"
The communication system relayed the unified shouts of the entire Grammer cavalry.
"For the Galactic Lord!!! For Empress Grammer!!!"
A few flying insects had broken through the short-range air defense network and swarmed towards a firing turret. A Grammer Ironclad guarding the turret instantly raised his two power swords and charged forward, cleaving the flying insects in two in the blink of an eye.
Then came more flying insects.
But these flying insects were almost useless against this Grammer cavalryman wielding two swords, and were all wiped out.
On the shoulder armor of this Grammer Knight is a unique insignia of crossed swords with five gold stars, signifying that this Grammer Knight is a long-serving and respected veteran of the Grammer Chapter.
The crossed swords are a unique symbol that only the strongest riders in the Grammer Ironclad can possess after winning the title of champion.
The battle continued, but the flying insects were completely unable to get past the champion veteran of the Grammer Chapter. Large numbers of insect corpses were scattered everywhere, and the insect blood almost stained the fortress floor red.
The veteran champion remained unfazed by all of this, as if he were completely used to it, his gaze still fixed on the sky.
The heavy anti-aircraft firepower of the Extreme Fortress was not enough to completely intercept the swarm of Zerg warships that were passing slowly through the planetary shields; there were simply too many of them.
Several Zerg warships are about to land on the surface. At that time, these warships will transform into Zerg hives and frantically hatch worker bees. These worker bees will begin to devour all organic matter on the planet. With this organic matter, the hives will hatch more combat swarms at an extremely fast rate and then begin to attack the Extreme Fortress from the ground.
"I'm going!" The champion veteran quickly announced over the comms, then swiftly put on his flight backpack and took a large number of bombs, preparing to quickly destroy the landed insect nests and buy as much time as possible.
The Grammer Knights tacitly took over the fighting positions from the champion veterans.
After carrying enough bombs, the champion veteran arrived at the fortress gate, activated his jetpack, and flew towards the insect hives.
High-speed, low-altitude flight is an extremely difficult and dangerous task, especially when faced with a terrifying swarm of insects. However, when faced with the flying insects, this champion veteran easily chopped them down while dodging various obstacles and using them to shake off the pursuing insects.
Upon approaching the hive, the veteran champion charged in with practiced ease, as if he knew the hive's internal structure inside like the back of his hand. Before the hive could launch a counterattack, he planted the bombs and then quickly rushed out of the hive.
"BOOM!!!" A deafening explosion rang out behind the champion veteran.
Without delay, the champion veteran continued his journey toward the next insect hive.
"Boom boom boom!!!" One loud explosion after another echoed through the Extreme Point Fortress.
The Grammer Knights watched in awe as the champion veteran returned unscathed.
However, the champion veteran was not happy; he looked solemnly at the increasing number of Zerg warships entering the planet from the sky.
Shortly after the champion veterans returned, in an effort to slow the Zerg swarm's advance, the chapter commander of the Grammer Chapter ordered the launch of a strategic missile at the Zerg fleet in space.
The strategic missile accurately hit a swarm of insect warships, and then a terrifying small artificial black hole appeared in space, sucking all the insects within its gravitational range into the artificial black hole.
A few seconds later, the artificial black hole collapsed on its own, but it had already swallowed a circular cavity in the terrifying swarm of insects.
Unfortunately, after the first strategic missile was launched, the swarm would be on guard, making it difficult to inflict such damage again.
The swarm quickly filled the void, as if nothing had happened, but the Grammer Knights had already keenly sensed that the swarm's attack had become slightly more cautious, though it was still terrifying.
New hives soon landed on the ground again. This time, the champion veterans launched a swift attack and destroyed many hives. However, the hives were too widely distributed and the champion veterans and other Grammer cavalry only managed to destroy one-tenth of the landed hives before having to retreat in the face of the massive swarm of insects.
Several Grammer riders were lost in this sortie, all because their flight packs were destroyed by the Zerg swarm, and they fought to the very last moment.
Shortly after the Zerg hive landed, a massive ground swarm began to approach the Extreme Fortress, and the Grammer Chapter quickly dispatched ground armored forces to engage the swarm in a bloody battle.
The Grammer Knights encountered special insects hatched from the insect hive, specifically designed to counter their warrior insects, and their losses gradually increased.
The battle has entered a critical stage.
three days later
The champion veteran, covered in blood, stood at the entrance of the Extreme Fortress, surrounded by countless insect corpses. The corpses of the warrior insects, specifically designed to target the Grammer Cavalry, were piled up like mountains.
But the champion veteran who stood alone was also covered in wounds and looked like he might fall at any moment. Among the swarm's corpses, one could still see the severed limbs of the Grammer Knights.
Now, only this champion veteran remains of the Grammer Cavalry holding the fortress gates, which are now sealed off.
The champion veteran looked up at the sky and saw that the planetary shield, which had withstood three days of constant bombardment, was now on the verge of collapse.
Ten seconds after the planetary shield completely shatters, the Zerg fleet, along with the ground-based Zerg swarm and the Grammer Riders, will utterly destroy the entire planet.
