Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 185 The Great Rift Valley

No one else had any objection to Ning Xuan's arrangement.

On the second day, at Fang Qian's invitation, two female spirit controllers, Ning Xuan and Tang Xue, provided basic mental guidance for the soldiers at supply point No. 7 who had abnormal mental strength and alienation values.

Tang Xue's innate skill is the Light of Purification. Although her mental power level is only A-level, her efficiency in purifying alienation value is very high. Ning Xuan's mental power level is S-level. She released her mental power to guide the mental power of the soldiers with restless mental power. It only took half a day to complete the task. In exchange, Ning Xuan and Tang Xue both received special merit points reported by the supply point. When they accumulate to a certain number, they will receive special rewards.

On the third day, Ning Xuan and her group were about to leave. Fang Qian was very reluctant to let them go. In the past few days, he had been trying to make friends with Lin Mo in an attempt to get Lin Mo to stay here for a while longer. Unfortunately, the youngest lieutenant general-level officer in the federation did not seem to be very favored in front of Miss Ning and did not seem to have much say.

However, Fang Qian is very busy now. He has already sent people to dig up all the wolf corpses. More than 50 wolves can produce a lot of meat. He plans to jump over the area originally occupied by the wolves and open up new resource points according to the map provided by Ning Xuan.

Hearing Ning Xuan say she was heading east, Fang Qian took out a map and pointed to a spot to the east. "Miss Ning, you can go in any other direction, except to the east. There's an extremely wide canyon. It's bottomless, with high, steep cliffs on both sides. Dangerous beasts roam below the canyon, and thick fog shrouds the area at night. I once sent people to investigate, but we lost three teams and had no choice but to give up. If you go east, you'll definitely not be able to get through."

Ning Xuan followed his instructions and found that the place Fang Qian pointed out was exactly on the route she had planned to take. "Commander Fang, thank you for your reminder. Let's go over there and take a look. If we really can't get through, we can take a detour." Ning Xuan said casually.

After leaving supply point No. 7, Ning Xuan and her group rode the mechanical vehicle assembled by Wang Yue and headed east as planned. On the way, Ning Xuan told everyone about the Grand Canyon and asked everyone to think about ways to cross the canyon.

"Xiaowu's innate skill is to teleport within a ten-kilometer radius. As long as someone crosses the canyon first, Xiaowu can use this teleportation to send them across. He can carry up to three people at a time. However, he can only teleport three times a day now, so he can only send a maximum of six people across."

"Master, I can take you flying over." Di Youlin said to Ning Xuan. Di Youlin has wings, but only Ning Xuan can sit on his back.

"I brought high-elasticity and high-pressure materials, which can be used to make hot air balloons," said Wang Yue.

This area is where the soldiers at Supply Point No. 7 often move around. Therefore, they did not encounter any dangerous beasts or valuable plants along the way. After driving for about an hour, they saw a huge rift valley across the earth from a distance, like a hideous and terrifying wound.

"Can you fly over this?" Ning Xuan turned and asked Di Youlin.

Di Youlin looked at the huge rift valley that looked like the earth was suddenly split apart. The cliffs on both sides were more than a thousand feet high. The exposed ochre-red rocks were like peeling dragon scales, shining like rust in the sunset.

He shook his head. "Master, if we were to simply fly over there, it would be no problem. However, there is fog deep in the canyon, and that fog doesn't give me a good feeling. I don't dare to take the risk with you."

"What about you, Wang Yue, can the hot air balloon fly over there?" Ning Xuan turned and asked Wang Yue.

"This canyon is quite wide, Miss Ning. It's quite far, and the fuel I've prepared might not be enough. Also, if we want to carry people, the hot air balloon can't fly very high. And with such a wide and deep canyon, I'm afraid we'll be disturbed once we reach the center," Wang Yue replied. Ning Xuan looked at Min Wu again. "I can, I can flash over there. It just needs someone to get there first so I can locate it," Min Wu stammered.

"It's morning now. According to Commander Fang's intelligence, morning is the calmest time in the canyon and when the fog is the lightest. Wang Yue, prepare the hot air balloon, ignite the fuel, and take off." Ning Xuan ordered.

"Lan Xin, Lin Mo, Qing He, Wang Yue, you take the hot air balloon. Di Youlin and I will fly with you below."

"After we get there, I will be the location, and Min Wu will be responsible for bringing the rest of the people over. Yun Han, you stay here and protect everyone." Ning Xuan put Yun Han, a powerful fighter, at the back to prevent the group that left later from encountering any danger.

Facing the deep canyon, everyone was unsure of their future. Ning Xuan's decisive arrangements reassured everyone. Min Wu's abilities were stable, and the key to crossing the Great Rift Valley depended on Ning Xuan and her team's success.

The hot air balloon quickly took off. Chen Nan and the other four people sat in the basket under the hot air balloon and felt the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, slowly flying towards the opposite side of the Great Rift Valley.

Everything went smoothly at first. Lin Mo and Wang Yue cooperated with each other to control the direction of the hot air balloon. Soon, the hot air balloon arrived at the center of the Great Rift Valley. The hot air balloon, which was originally very stable, suddenly shook. The fuel in the fuel basin flashed, and half of the fuel was extinguished. At this time, the hot air balloon suddenly fell down, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

The hot air balloon had already descended several dozen meters below its expected altitude, and the rising damp and cold air currents in the canyon caused the basket to begin to shake violently.

Ning Xuan sat on Di Youlin's back and flew to the fuel basin. Ning Xuan stretched out her hand, and a golden-red flame burned at her fingertips. This was the Suzaku Fire. With the blessing of the Suzaku Fire, the originally extinguished fuel began to burn again.

After the fire was strong, the hot air balloon slowly rose up and gradually returned to stability.

At that moment, a chilling buzzing sound emanated from the depths of the canyon. Countless phosphorescent insects rose like a dark cloud, flying towards Ning Xuan and the others. The air currents created by the vibrations of their wings caused the hot air balloon to begin to spin.

Di Youlin, Qinghe and Ning Xuan attacked at the same time. Qinghe used his natal dragon scales as a weapon. The scales could be formed into any shape at will. This time, Qinghe's weapon was in the shape of an insect net. The dark cloud-like flying insects would be shattered into pieces in an instant as soon as they hit the net.

Ning Xuan used the wings of the flying elephant ants that she had refined, which could also be transformed into various shapes and were extremely sharp.

As for Di Youlin, his hands had turned into a pair of sharp claws, which he waved towards the swarm of insects.

The three of them worked together and quickly dealt with the swarm of insects. However, Di Youlin began to feel irritable and his mental state seemed to be affected.
