"Stop mechanism! Illuminate! Activate eye!"
Assistant Helmsman Cheng Xuan Zi Xiangxu issued a series of commands, then activated the central mechanism, turning the gears. The airship gradually hovered mid-air, the hatch at the bottom opened, and a string of iron chains dropped down. The chains were connected with a row of five demon beast heads sealed in amber-like wax blocks, resembling a string of candied hawthorns from a distance.
These giant demon beast heads were not merely preserved in wax; their skulls were hollowed out, fitted with a complex set of mechanisms, transforming into a half-mechanical, half-skeleton appearance. Their eyeballs were replaced with precise lens glass. Now, driven by Qi Power, the eyes of each beast lit up with dazzling lights, further amplified and diffused by the amber, eventually turning into large lanterns.
