Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 744 - 707: Return
Chapter 744: Chapter 707: Return
Following Rocky’s instructions, Monte and Felly not only stopped the bombardment of the West Lake Shore, but also gathered the entire fleet and the Void Magic Corps, having already brought the fleet above the Cave of Blood Cries and met up with the War Steed.
“How long has it been now, why hasn’t the City Lord come out yet?”
Standing at the bow of the Ranger alongside Monte, a somewhat anxious Felly glanced at the time, then looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky.
It was just getting dark when Rocky and the others had entered the Cave of Blood Cries, roughly around 8 o’clock, but now it was past midnight. The night had completely enveloped Red Water Lake, yet Rocky had still not emerged from the cave, naturally making everyone feel anxious.
A cave exploration shouldn’t take an entire night, should it?
You must know that Rocky is no ordinary person; after all, he is the City Lord, the linchpin of all the people in Backhill Village and Thunderhawk City. Any mishap befalling him would spell a prolonged disaster for all his subjects.
“Lin Feng, what exactly is going on with this Cave of Blood Cries? Why has the City Lord been gone for such a long time?”
Like Felly, Monte was extremely anxious at this time because not only did Rocky enter the Cave of Blood Cries, but so did his daughter, which made him the most anxious of them all.
“I’m sorry, but we were sent out by the City Lord just as we had entered the cave, so we don’t know the details.”
Seeing the anxious look on Monte’s face, Lin Feng wanted to reassure him, wanted to tell him not to worry, but he couldn’t because he knew all too well that the Cave of Blood Cries was definitely no place for the faint-hearted; not to mention, from the moment he and Sandro were sent out upon entering the cave, it was very clear how dangerous it was inside.
So after sighing, Lin Feng patted Monte on the shoulder, “Don’t worry too much, with the City Lord there, and Chief He Nan, Dusa will certainly be fine.”
“I hope so…”
Upon hearing this, Monte reluctantly nodded in agreement, because he had to admit that Lin Feng had a point. No one knew better than he how strong Rocky was, and as a beastman, Monte was very aware of the kind of strength He Nan needed to possess to remain an undefeated chief. Therefore, with both of them there, Dusa shouldn’t encounter too much danger. His only concern was, what if the danger inside the Cave of Blood Cries had exceeded the limits both Rocky and Chief He Nan could withstand?
“Look! Look at the lake surface!”
Just then, a crew member suddenly shouted out, and hurriedly pointed towards the distant surface of the lake.
The cry instantly caught everyone’s attention; Monte and Felly, along with Lin Feng and the others, all quickly turned to look at the water, their brows furrowing immediately after.
In their sight, a giant vortex had appeared on the previously calm surface of Red Water Lake, the blood-red water continuously spinning as if stirred by a pair of huge hands, creating a terrifying sight.
“Quick! Go check it out!”
Noticing something unusual about the lake, Felly and Monte, as the highest commanders of the fleet and the Void Magic Corps, exchanged glances and immediately decided to have the fleet investigate what was happening, as they had a strong premonition that the abnormality in Red Water Lake was likely related to Rocky and his group.
Following this, the fleet moved swiftly and in no time reached the very center of Red Water Lake, right above the heart of the vortex.
Arriving directly above the vortex, Monte immediately led Lin Feng, Sandro, and Robin’s Squad as they flew out of the warship, slowly descending toward the lake surface.
“My God… what in the world is going on?”
Stopping about fifty or sixty meters above the water, the group gazed at the massive vortex within the lake, their hearts filled with shock and dismay. This was no small whirlpool; the vortex in Red Water Lake was so large it almost encompassed the entire body of water. Not only the center but even the edges of the lake were stirred up by the tremendous force of the whirlpool.
What on earth happened inside Red Water Lake?
Looking at the enormous vortex below, Monte and the others were all shocked, and none of them dared to descend any further to investigate because they could see that the vortex’s power was too strong. The entire lake was affected, and they feared that if they got even a little close, they might be sucked in!
However, just then, just as Monte and the rest inhaled a chilly breath, a wave suddenly rose from the center of the vortex, followed by several figures flying out!
“It’s Lady Liliya!”
Robin, who was watching the vortex, had the sharpest eyes and saw Liliya and the others flying out of the lake. He was the first one to rush over, and with his movement, Monte and the others also noticed the scene and quickly flew over as well.
……
……
Groggily opening his eyes, Rocky felt everything before him was blurred, and it took him a while to recover. Then he clearly saw Liliya beside him.
“We’re out…”
He smiled faintly at Liliya and then asked.
“Of course we’re out, everyone made it out.”
Liliya shook her head helplessly and sighed with a smile, saying indeed they had all escaped, all four of them had.
Previously at the bottom of the lake, Rocky almost managed to get Liliya and the others to the surface, but at a critical moment, the Armor malfunctioned due to being unable to withstand the immense Mana produced in full state mode and forcibly ‘crashed.’ However, luckily, they were already extremely close to the surface of the lake by then, and more importantly, with Liliya and Dusa there, the two immediately took over Rocky’s task. Each grabbed Rocky and Monte and flew out of the lake, then they were spotted by Monte and the others and were brought aboard the warship within a minute.
Now, it had been a full day and a half since they were rescued. During this day, Rocky had been unconscious the entire time. He simply couldn’t help it; he had pushed himself too hard before. It’s no exaggeration to say that if Pelaya hadn’t incorporated a safety feature in the creation of the White Demon Armor, enabling it to automatically lock all Mana transfer in a crisis, Rocky would have disintegrated along with the Armor by now. But even so, the White Demon Armor that Hammerfire had just fashioned for him was now a write-off.
“It’s that exaggerated…”
After listening to Liliya recount what had happened after he passed out, Rocky was full of sighs and disbelief, never expecting things to end up this way.
Caught up in his sighs, he looked around unintentionally and found the room where he was to be so familiar.
“Is this… the City Lord’s Mansion? Have we arrived at Thunderhawk City?”
“Yes, we got here yesterday.”

“I see, what about Red Water Lake?”
After learning they had arrived at Thunderhawk City, Rocky nodded and then thought of Red Water Lake.
At his question, Liliya’s expression became somewhat strange, and it was only after a long time that she spoke, “You better see for yourself. Red Water Lake now…”
