I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 875 - 965: Magic Cube Space Finally Upgrades Again!
Jing Shu had people use New Energy to save others, and the main force finally fled towards the fleet where they had come from. At this moment, this place had become the highest area, and everywhere else had collapsed into the Sky Pit, relentlessly devouring everything!
In the center of the Sky Pit, endless black corpses rolled and churned like an enormous mixer in a frenzy within the pit.
The fleet was stuck at the edge of the Sky Pit’s rim, and looking at the massive pit hundreds of meters below the waterfall made one’s heart tremble!
"Report, we are already at the most marginal area, but now we want to escape and are blocked by a huge Air Wall!"
"The Sky Pit continues to sink and devour, even the small island has been completely consumed; if we don’t find a way out, the entire fleet might be swallowed by the Sky Pit, leading to complete annihilation!"
According to the situation relayed through the intercom, the fleet’s situation was quite dire!
The elite guards who were just rescued were indeed out of the wolf’s den and into the tiger’s mouth.
"Where’s Captain Jing, can’t you cut through the Air Wall? Quickly cut the Air Wall so our fleet can escape."
"Yeah, yeah, if we cut a path now, we could still escape. This damned place is surrounded by the Air Wall, isn’t it like closing the door and letting the dogs loose, leaving us nowhere to escape?"
Jing Shu pondered for a moment and said, "I can only cut through small cross-sections; if it’s too large and you can’t see the end in one glance, like now that it’s one whole existence, then how to cut? Cutting it would be useless."
"Then what do we do?"
"It looks like we’re about to be devoured by the Sky Pit. We New Humans with special abilities are okay, but those crew members are at risk."
"The key is if the ferry really falls into the hundreds of meters deep pit, it would probably shatter. Getting closer to the energy area, it would probably be game over. Everyone would die."
Old Zhou frowned and pondered, "It seems we can only let Lao—" but before he finished, Jing Shu coughed.
Old Zhou’s ability was like a nuclear bomb, usually not used casually due to its significant harm and strong side effects; using it would lead to an earth-shattering consequence, so it’s still better for Jing Shu to waste some energy instead.
Jing Shu expressed her thoughts, "Actually, although the barrier of the Air Wall is too large to cut, I can reverse anchor the ship into the Air Wall, so even if the marginal area is affected, having a point of force at least won’t let it fall."
"Can it work? If our marginal area is completely consumed, the anchor wouldn’t be enough to bear the weight of the entire ferry."
Jing Shu replied, "It’s not a big problem, use more backup anchors for fixation, at least it won’t be washed away."
Old Huang Ya gave a thumbs up, "As expected of you, Miss Jing, truly talented to think of fixing the anchor in the Air Wall."
Old Zhou nodded, "We’ve obtained the crystal of New Energy, the energy fluctuation might drive the entire island crazy, so let’s wait for a while and observe the situation."
Jing Shu nodded, "Then I’ll create a groove to let the anchor go in. Have someone slot the anchor in."
Jing Shu did have selfish motives. Escaping now and then entering the Mirror Sea Area again would be uncertain. Now, while people are here, she could dispatch rotten mermaids to fetch more orange New Energy. Probably Old Zhou had the same thought.
In the apocalypse, who would find New Energy in excess?
Jing Shu began drilling holes in the Air Wall using her previous method. Soon, the entire fleet utilized all anchors and anything that could fix in the Air Wall.
By the time the sky was dim and slightly lit, the angle between the edge of the Air Wall and the Sky Pit had reached a perfect 90°, meaning that now all the ferries including Jing Shu’s were tilted, entirely relying on anchors locked in the Air Wall and the slanted red earthworm corpses for support. The anchors could ensure the ship wouldn’t be swept into the Sky Pit.
On the ship, everyone lived tilted like this, drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom; they just had to be cautious to aim properly, or else—cough.
Everyone rested in fear for a few hours while the ferry creaked, others feared whether these few flimsy anchors could hold such a heavy ship.
However, Jing Shu and Old Zhou didn’t idle, both sides kept exerting their skills crazily to extract the hidden New Energy below the Sky Pit, one wave of insects after another gathering energy in the pit.
Other skilled elites each displayed their talents, collecting quite a bit of orange energy, but other people’s gathered energy had to be submitted in exchange for Contribution, while Jing Shu already had a contract with Old Zhou, absolving her from submission.
Apart from an unlucky person who got too close to the Sky Pit’s energy zone, losing one fully withered hand and a missing foot, the fleet’s overall gain was substantial.
Especially Jing Shu, who hadn’t closed her eyes in three days and nights, now her smile was almost reaching her ears.
Jing Shu had been frantically collecting energy and drilling the Air Wall; the holes she dug were enough to let the fleet swim out, just waiting for the Sky Pit to calm down, with sea water, the fleet could once again escape this dangerous Mirror Sea Area.
Hao Yunlai’s contribution was the greatest; after descending the Sky Pit that day, he brought back a fingernail-sized crystal for Jing Shu.
Upon returning, black energy on Hao Yunlai’s hand and the energy from the orange crystal clashed, eroding each other, almost exposing Hao Yunlai’s hand to white bones.
After receiving the crystal, Jing Shu immediately gave Hao Yunlai three full drops of Spiritual Spring to drink, restoring his hand.
However, once the crystal reached the space, it immediately absorbed orange energy wildly, growing larger and when it reached the size of a fist, it merged into one with the piece that Old Zhou held.
Jing Shu’s jaw dropped, managing only to utter "damn," then she couldn’t move, as if fate had clamped her neck!
Indeed, her Magic Cube Space was transforming madly at that moment, previously indistinct boundaries becoming clear, the cube started spinning frantically, and after spinning, more rows of cubic spaces appeared.
The transparent boundaries of the cubic spaces became clearer, in a blink, rotating out hundreds of cubic meters more.
In the fields, another row of spirit field popped up.
This meant her space now gained a few hundred cubic meters more!
In just half an hour, Jing Shu felt an unprecedented clarity in her head, as though a divine spirit had infused her, her whole body filled with a languid strength.
Jing Shu’s Magic Cube Space had finally upgraded once again!
This time, after absorbing the energy from the Air Wall and the orange crystal, her space showed an unprecedented enhancement state.
Jing Shu finally realized her Magic Cube Space had fully absorbed the Seven-dimensional space power this time, so henceforth it’ll fully overlap with this orange Seven-dimensional Energy!
