Saying that, Erza immediately jumped back onto the magic four-wheeler and put the SE spark plug set on her wrist.
As Lucy got into the car, she asked Erza, puzzled, "Chase? We don't even know where they are, how can we chase them?"
Erza explained, "With so many of them acting together, their target must be very obvious. Someone in town must have seen them. We just need to go to town and ask around to find out their whereabouts."
"By car? No, no, no! Can't we just run there?! If I take the car again, I'll die!!"
Natsu looked miserable when he heard they had to take the car. He had already taken the car twice today, and it was his first time experiencing two 'darkest hours' in one day. He didn't expect two to not be the limit, and there would be a third.
"Less nonsense!"
Qi Yan kicked Natsu into the car, then got in himself.
Whoosh!!
Erza floored it, and the magic four-wheeler drifted.
"Ahhh!!"
Lucy, not sitting steadily, landed squarely on Qi Yan's face.
When Lucy realized she was sitting on Qi Yan's face, she immediately became shy.
"Your butt is so big."
Qi Yan rubbed his face, feeling as if he had touched something extraordinary.
"Ah ah ah ah! This is sexual harassment!!"
Under Erza's magic infusion, the magic four-wheeler sped along, quickly arriving at Kulugi Town.
As soon as they reached the town, they saw many people discussing animatedly.
"Have you heard? Something happened at the train station."
"What happened at the train station?"
"I heard someone robbed the train."
"Robbed a train, who did it?"
"I know this, it's a dark guild nearby, called Iron Forest." ... "Iron Forest?!"
Lucy and Erza's expressions changed when they heard the name. Isn't this the Iron Forest they were looking for?
"Let's go! To the train station!"
Erza drove the magic four-wheeler quickly towards the train station.
Upon arriving at the train station, they saw that it had been surrounded by the army, and many people were constantly denouncing the atrocities of Iron Forest.
"A man with a large scythe suddenly broke in with a group of people! They forced us all off the train!"
"I left my business tools, which are more important than my wife, on the train!" ... "Those people hijacked the train?! Why?! If it were robbing money or a ship, it would be understandable, but what's the point of robbing a train? Trains can only run on tracks! Even if they really hijacked it, there would be no benefit!"
Lucy was very confused. If a train is robbed, as long as the tracks are switched before the next station, the train will be forced to stop!
Moreover, this matter has already caused such a stir, and the army knows about it, so they will definitely set up defenses at the next station.
Happy speculated, "Are they in a hurry to do something?"
Lucy, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief: "The army has also taken action, so catching them is only a matter of time, right! We don't need to go."
This way, she wouldn't have to fight against the terrifying dark guild.
"No! I have a very bad feeling. They are a dark guild, not idiots, and certainly not fools. Such a large group making such a conspicuous move must be planning something extraordinary, and it's very likely related to that sealed magic."
Although there seemed to be no connection between them, she just felt there was a relationship.
"But the train has already departed for almost an hour. Whatever they want to do, we won't be able to catch up, right?"
"..."
Indeed, the train's speed itself is very fast, much faster than the magic four-wheeler. Even at full speed now, as time passes, the distance might only widen.
Were they just going to give up like this? She was unwilling.
Just then, Qi Yan got out of the magic four-wheeler and walked towards the train tracks.
"Qi Yan, where are you going?"
Lucy asked, puzzled.
Qi Yan stood in the middle of the train tracks, stretching his muscles: "Of course, I'm going to chase them!"
He felt the name Iron Forest sounded familiar when he first heard it, but he couldn't recall it immediately. Only when he saw them hijack the train did he remember this plot.
Lullaby, also known as the mass curse magic, Curse Song.
The reason they hijacked the train was to use it to pass through the Grand Canyon and reach the location of the regional meeting.
Then, they would use the power of the Curse Song to curse and kill all the guild masters attending the regional meeting.
Recalling this plot and understanding their objective, Qi Yan's heart was also filled with rage.
Although he hadn't been in Fairy Tail for too long, the old man had taken great care of him, treating him like his own child.
Qi Yan, being alone in this world, also treated Makarov as a father.
Now, a group of scumbags actually wanted to harm the old man's life. Regardless of whether these guys could succeed, as long as they had this idea, they deserved to die.
"Chase?! How will we chase them?! They've already been gone for over an hour, and they're on a train."
The train is considered the fastest mode of transportation. In an hour, they should be hundreds of kilometers away by now.
"Of course, by running."
"Run?!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. If he had said 'fly,' it would be understandable, but when he said 'run,' they couldn't seem to comprehend it. How could a person outrun a train?
"Full Reception · Fushiguro Toji!"
Qi Yan said nothing, and began to receive Fushiguro Toji.
Qi Yan's gray trench coat turned into a black T-shirt, his pants became gray pants, a black cloth belt was around his waist, and he wore a pair of flat old-man shoes.
His muscles also slightly bulged, and his hair and facial features changed.
This was Qi Yan's form after receiving the Heavenly Restriction.
Qi Yan's voice was slightly rough, with the deep magnetism of a middle-aged man, and his eyes also became like someone who believed he was the strongest in the world.
"Erza, you can take your time coming. I'll take care of Iron Forest."
"Qi Yan, if you transform so early, how long can you last?"
Erza was the one who understood Qi Yan's magic best. After all, they had fought side by side, and Qi Yan's strength after transforming was incredibly powerful.
But Qi Yan had a very obvious weakness, which was the thing men feared most.
Lack of stamina.
Qi Yan's magic consumption was very high after transforming. In short, he exchanged a large amount of magic for extreme power in a short period.
But once he over-consumed, Qi Yan could even fall into a coma. Six months ago, Qi Yan was in a coma for three full days.
"Don't worry! There's enough time!"
Although his magic power had only increased by one and a half stars compared to six months ago, his overall magic power had increased by about ten times. Although the duration wouldn't be much longer, it was already enough to deal with Iron Forest.
Boom----!
Qi Yan stomped his foot, and the wooden ties beneath the tracks broke.
The next moment, Qi Yan had already appeared hundreds of meters away.
