Time gradually passed, and the night grew deeper. The airship continued its unceasing operation, and it was now late into the night.
At this moment, the airships of the four top academies had completely entered the wilderness.
In the wilderness, there were no cities, which naturally meant it was fraught with dangers.
One wrong move could mean never returning.
Of course, this was only true for ordinary people.
For powerful Spirit Tamers, this route posed little threat.
All flight paths were meticulously planned, calculated with high precision, and cleared of significant threats.
Under normal circumstances, airships rarely encountered danger, though special situations couldn’t be ruled out.
Inside the cockpit of the Vermilion Bird Academy’s airship, the staff were diligently at work.
Due to the academy’s unique nature, all the staff on the Vermilion Bird airship were women.
“Ugh! So boring, we have to stay like this for a few more days,” one staff member yawned, stretching lazily in her chair, clearly frustrated.
Long flights like these were incredibly dull, especially for the staff.
They couldn’t afford to be lax and had to stay alert at all times to prevent any unexpected situations.
Every time there was an academy assessment, they had to pilot the airship for several days. Although they could take shifts, the monotony was unbearable.
Unfortunately, there was no choice. They were just ordinary people, not Spirit Tamers.
Their job, however, paid quite well in the Sacred City. Among common people, it was considered a high-paying job.
Despite the boredom, they could endure it.
Compared to other common jobs, working on an airship was something many people would fight for.
Another staff member smiled and said, “Stop complaining. What’s the use? We still have to work. Once we get back, we can rest for a while.”
When the airship wasn’t in use, they only needed to work at the academy, which was much more relaxed.
Seeing the two chatting, a third staff member quietly reminded them, “Stop chatting. It’s work time. If the boss sees us, we’ll get scolded again.”
Every airship had a person in charge, referred to as the boss.
This boss wasn’t an ordinary person but a powerful Spirit Tamer.
This was to ensure safety in case of a demon attack.
Hearing this, the first two staff members immediately fell silent.
“Click, click, click!”
At that moment, a crisp sound echoed, and all the staff straightened up, knowing who had arrived.
Yes, it was their boss, the airship’s manager, Li Yuehai.
Soon, a middle-aged woman in black combat attire, with a cold expression, walked in.
She was Li Yuehai, the airship’s manager and a powerful Spirit Tamer at Seventh Rank, Fifth Level.
Even compared to Hong Xiu, her strength was formidable.
She had flown this route countless times and was used to it.
Looking out at the dark night, Li Yuehai felt a vague sense of unease.
This feeling made her uncomfortable, though she didn’t think it was necessarily accurate.
But the feeling lingered, affecting her sleep.
Unable to sleep, she had come to the control room.
“Any unusual occurrences?” she asked, her cold voice echoing in the control room.
The previously bored and sleepy staff immediately perked up.
“No!” they answered in unison.
They sounded alert, with no sign of slackness.
In front of their boss, they dared not make any wrong moves.
A single mistake could result in a severe scolding, possibly followed by physical training.
All the staff had experienced that pain.
So, no one dared to anger Li Yuehai.
“Alright, continue working,” Li Yuehai nodded, dismissing her unease.
“Beep, beep, beep!”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded.
Li Yuehai, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly.
Turning to the staff at the control panel, she frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Boss, we’ve detected demons on the flight path ahead. Their individual energy is weak, but there are too many to count,” the observing staff reported.
“Many of them? Are they a flock of flying demons?” Li Yuehai muttered, frowning.
