Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 139 Chi You Awakens

Led by Himeko, the four of them ran for a good ten minutes, but still couldn't find the stone gate they had entered through.

"Himeko, haven't we been here before?"

Even Kiana noticed something was amiss.

"Hey Gray, what's going on here?"

"Could it be a ghost wall? No, the class monitor just said it was gossip?"

Qiong racked his brains trying to recall his understanding of gossip, but after much thought...

It seems that besides dream interpretation and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the only thing I can think of is the ever-growing Bagua formation.

Looking at Kiana's expectant eyes, Qiong was a little at a loss. His half-baked knowledge was useless!

"Kiana, I... watch out!"

Suddenly, Qiong noticed a Knight-class Honkai Beast appearing beside Kiana, but because he was carrying Fu Hua on his back, he could only warn her. He dodged the beast while struggling to move forward with Fu Hua on his back.

However, Qiong's reminder was unnecessary. At the same moment he spoke, Himeko swung the Xuanyuan Sword and cleaved the Honkai Beast in two.

"That can't be right, there weren't any Honkai Beasts when we came in! Oh right, that girl named Anzu!"

Himeko slapped her forehead. Could that little shark at the cave entrance have run into a Honkai Beast? But right now, they need to worry about themselves first.

"Think quickly, think quickly... Squad leader, are you still awake?"

"West, West..."

"West what? Southwest or northwest?"

Qiong tried to ask Fu Hua for help, but Fu Hua's response was unclear for some reason.

Why now of all times?

Given the current situation, if a way out cannot be found, even if no terrible things happen such as the high tide flooding the island or a surge in Honkai energy creating a massive number of Honkai Beasts, it will greatly delay the progress of suppressing Chi You...

"We weren't prepared enough!" Thinking this, Qiong gritted her teeth in regret. If too much time had been wasted… she wondered if Himeko had contacted Theresa to let her know she was safe. If she had, and Theresa hadn't come to help, and they were all stuck in this cave, how much damage would Chi You have caused to Shenzhou and the surrounding area?

If I had known, I would have been more direct and told Himeko and the others that this was a seal and couldn't be touched, and that if they wanted to touch it, they should first prepare to destroy the power of the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts.

"southwest……"

"Southwest? This way, southwest! Everyone, let's go!"

Which side is southwest?

"It's to your left rear!"

Everyone hurriedly ran towards the location Fu Hua had indicated, but after running a short distance, the ground began to shake violently.

"Could it be like in the movies, where the island is about to sink because we pulled out the treasure and are trying to protect it?"

"Kiana, shut your mouth! Hurry, I see the stone door, it's the exit!"

The group ran frantically toward the cave entrance, the tremors beneath their feet growing stronger and stronger. When they finally emerged from the cave, they found the outside in chaos. The trees on the island were leaning precariously, and Honkai Beasts, seemingly appearing from nowhere, were surging toward them like a tidal wave.

Among these Honkai Beasts, there are few Mosquito-class Mosquitoes, and even Knight-class Honkai Beasts are not many. Ballista-class and Temple-class Honkai Beasts are everywhere, and there are also Chariot-class and Honkai Emperor-class Honkai Beasts...

Anzu, who was originally tied up at the cave entrance, had worn through one of the ropes. Perhaps because of the Honkai Beasts so close by, she saw tears in the eyes of the four people, in addition to anger.

"So you guys finally decided to come out? If you hadn't, I'd be dead!"

The four ignored her and instead observed their surroundings: the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed intermittently; the wind howled, and the waves crashed violently against the rocks on the shore...

roar---

Honestly, with the enormous creature emerging from the water in the distance and the (suspected) cry of Chi You, some people say this is the end of the world, and I would believe it too!

"Legend has it that the giant beast Chiyou fed on the cities of Shenzhou, and Ji Lin (Ji Xuanyuan), Danzhu (Nuwa), and Cangxuan (Fuxi) paid the ultimate price to seal Chiyou in the Nine Netherworlds..."

"Hurry up and untie me!"

Seeing the colossal beast in the distance, Qiong regretted it even more: He pulled it out too early! Without sufficient preparation, it would have been better not to have pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword at all!

It's okay if the Star Train is headstrong; if it crashes while traveling, there are powerful figures to bail it out. St. Freya? Can Theresa handle it? It's hard to say about Star Train.

"That's a Temple-level weapon, and there's also a Chariot-level weapon? Pulling out this sword will bring about a catastrophe of this scale?"

Looking at the scene before her, Himeko hesitated. The Temple-class and Chariot-class were beyond the capabilities of ordinary Valkyries. Not to mention the pinnacle of lower-ranking Honkai Beasts, the Honkai Emperor…

Will they not be farming another Emperor-level or even Judgment-level Honkai Beast? Just because of a sword and a possible Stigmata?

"How about... we put this sword back in?"

"It's no use, Himeko-neechan. The seal has been broken, and the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You will inevitably be resurrected..."

"Wait a minute, Judgment level? Qiong kid, you're saying Chi You is Judgment level?"

Himeko's face was extremely pale.

To date, Schicksal has confirmed only one Judgment-class Honkai Beast: Benares, the companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher of the Void born during the Second Great Honkai Impact.

"I'm begging you, please untie me right now!"

--------------

"Reporting, boss, a very strong Honkai energy reaction has been detected ahead!"

On the Hyperion's screen, Ai-chan's projection allowed everyone to see Chi You's full appearance for the first time.

"This is only the part that is visible above the water; the exact size of the Honkai Beast is still being calculated!"

"Siegfried, do you think this is an Emperor-class Honkai Beast?"

Fearing that Welt and Yae Sakura might betray her on the spot, Theresa asked Siegfried to stay on the bridge with the two of them, which unexpectedly came in handy.

"Not entirely sure."

Siegfried touched his chin with his right hand.

"If we're talking about size, it's definitely bigger than an emperor-level creature, isn't it?"

Behind the four bigwigs were two juniors.

Although they were not originally qualified to participate in the operation, Theresa granted them special permission, at her repeated requests, to board the Hyperion together as logistics and backup.

"Kiana, Kiana..."

"Don't worry, Mei-neechan, those two idiots and Himeko-sensei will be safe and sound."

After all, Sora must have known there was some danger involved (for example, Kiana sacrificed herself here in his timeline?) before coming along, right? Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he didn't travel with Mei but instead went on a trip with Kiana, and then just happened to run into this kind of thing...

Without a doubt, Bronya has the best mindset on the ship, while Theresa is probably the most anxious one on the Hyperion.

"Where did this Honkai Beast come from? I thought it was just Anti-Entropy launching a sneak attack, but it turns out to be another massive Honkai attack? To be honest, I'm starting to worry about Kiana and the others... Where are they?!"

"Headmaster, I..."

Theresa frantically scratched her head, and Yae Sakura wanted to go up and pat her head to comfort her, but Walter stopped her with a look.

Because Siegfried had already reached out to touch it.

At first, Yae Sakura didn't understand. Where did this wild man come from, daring to be so disrespectful to Theresa? Later, she found out that he was Kiana's father, and strictly speaking, Theresa's...brother-in-law?

Move your hand away!

Theresa glared at the bastard who was still grinning, and pretended to pull out Judah to beat him up, while Siegfried decisively raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I surrender! Don't worry about Theresa, I have faith in my daughter! She's my and Cecilia's daughter! How about this, give me a plane and let me down to pick them up!"

"Oh? You've changed your mind?"

Theresa was a little surprised. It seemed Siegfried was also worried about Kiana, just not saying it out loud. Hmph, what a proud fool. But…

"Didn't you say you wanted to hide your identity and didn't dare to meet Kiana?"

Siegfried responded seriously.

"What's the big deal? I'll just change my clothes."

Siegfried donned a cowboy hat and the disguised shark teeth prepared by Welt Young. So many clumsy concealments had managed to fool Kiana before, and this time, with Anti-Entropy providing the reliable cover, it would be no exception!

"I am the Sea Patrol Ranger, codename Potio! Who is Siegfried's handsome, dashing, and charming darling? I have no idea!"

"Siegfried, did you mix up your name and code name?"
