Chapter 469: Shadow of the Airship Deep in the Inland

Dachun slept until 7 o'clock in the morning, and rested for almost 4 hours.

There was a knock on the door from the younger brother: "Brother Chun, breakfast is here!"

Dachun immediately stood up and opened the door: "Okay, thank you!"

The young man smiled and said, "Brother Chun, eel noodles! Do you want something light or something heavier for lunch?"

Dachun laughed: "Then let's have a strong taste!"

"Okay, Chun Ge, Wei Shen just woke up and is in good spirits! What instructions does he want to ask Chun Ge?"

What other instructions can I give? She might as well be hanging out with that traitor within the Ten Lords, Silari. She's pretending to be an NPC to gain their trust, so she's bound to give them some insider information or something, right?
Dachun smiled: "There are no instructions. He is free to develop."

"Okay, Chun."

After washing up and eating, I went online again.

——System prompt: Welcome to the Golden Continent. It is now 19:16 PM Golden Continent time...

Although it was night, the sky here was bright, filled with sunset glow. I saw a water element swimming upstream along a river between towering mountains. Although it was upstream, its speed was far greater than sliding on the ground. Then I saw a long row of system messages:

——System prompt: Your team has escaped the attack of the Ancient Chimera! You have witnessed a rare leader-level creature and collected relevant attributes. Your Grandmaster-level module combination integrates the Great Explorer profession, Expert Treasure Appraisal, and Advanced Archaeology, successfully obtaining information about the academic profession "Scholar."

System prompt: You have perfectly explored the map of the Blue Crystal River Basin. Your exceptional wisdom has earned you the achievement reward: Cartography. You have also successfully obtained information about the academic profession "Polymposium."

--System prompt: Your team escaped the Thunder Rhino's attack! You witnessed a rare, leader-level creature... and successfully obtained information about the academic profession "Scholar."

——System prompt: You have perfectly explored the map of the Bingnao River Basin... and obtained information about "Scholar".

——System prompt: Your team escaped from the attack of the ancient forest giant bear... and obtained the information of "Scholar".

……

Dachun was stunned! What happened during the four hours I was offline?
Dachun immediately opened the map and suddenly discovered that outside the previously pitch-black Sanhuan Village, there were maps of the areas around two rivers.

This distance inland must be over 600 kilometers! Wait, I think I can see snow-capped mountains up ahead! They shimmer like golden mountains in the rosy glow of the sunset!
This speed? Dachun then realized that the speed of the water element's reverse flow was not right. This was clearly the force of the tide shrinking the space. This was the use of divine power again!
Holy crap! I thought Xiaomei was just going for some fun, but she didn't expect it to be this wild! After crossing the snowy mountains, there's probably an ice sheet, and beyond that, it's the North Pole!
Well, that's fine. I remember when the fake angel Maria gave me the artifact "Appraising Treasures" book, I immediately gained information about the academic profession, the "Pundit." Then, through Xiaohua, my alt-account accompanied the Ugly Emperor to read books in the Golden Throne Library, and even climbed all the way to Expert Appraiser and Advanced Archaeology, which also triggered the information about the "Pundit."

As a result, I got beaten up in the Tantan map and it was triggered again! Maybe if I play with him for a day or two more, I will officially understand it!

Mina greeted, "Master, you are here!"

Xiaomei laughed heartily: "I'm having a lot of fun now!" Dachun asked hurriedly: "Were the monsters we encountered along the way safe?"

Xiaomei smiled and said, "It's not dangerous. I took the initiative to go over and check on them! Then they chased me and beat me, but I froze them with an ice ring and ran away!"

Dachun Khan said, "If we really fight, can we win?"

Xiaomei sighed, "I can't beat them. Besides, water elementals can only gain power in water. Using a few skills on land will use up a lot of water and shrink their size. By the time I get back to the water... no monster will be willing to fight in the water, so they'll just run away."

That's right! It's just like when I was jumping back and forth between the sewers. Even if I encounter a powerful enemy that the water element can't defeat, I can still escape. This also means that as long as Xiaomei wanders along the river network, she can explore half of the Golden Continent—of course, half is not accurate, but the river network is the vein of the continent, and many economic development activities rely on the river.

Therefore, I can also just sit back and work as a polymath, even though I don't know what the use of this profession is!
Xiaomei added, "Oh, and when I came here earlier, I saw the shadow of an airship in the sky. I looked up, but there was only a shadow, but no airship."

Dachun was surprised: "A shadow in the sky? Not on the ground?"

Xiaomei said, "Yes, it's in the sky. Maybe there's an alien space channel in the sky, similar to the dark sea in the ocean. Under normal circumstances, you can't see its shadow, but now that I have divine power, it's different. As long as it causes fluctuations in the water vapor, I can detect it, hehe!"

Dachun was really shocked!

Even if Bronze City can build airships, it doesn't have the technology to operate in space channels! Are the Empire's high-end forces already operating inland? If such a high-end force is truly operating in secret, then the so-called Lord of the Five Cities probably won't matter, right? Even the Five Cities Flower and even the Mermaid might not be able to protect me.

Dachun thought again of the prison fortress where the Dragon Mother was trapped deep inland. It was a place with no roads on all sides and could only be reached by airships. Was it possible that the place was also an alien space?

Dachun stared at the sky in silence, a rosy glow of clouds and mist. This also made Dachun feel like a mayfly looking at the blue sky. When will he be able to reach that state?
Perhaps, playing with the goddess is the closest state!
So Dachun took the initiative to entertain Xiaomei, pointing to the highest golden snow mountain in the distance: "Xiaomei, can water elements climb snow mountains?"

Xiaomei smiled and said, "Anywhere with water, ice, or something like that will do."

Dachun became excited: "Why don't we climb the highest mountain? We can explore a wider area and maybe even find a signpost on the top to guide the airship."

Xiaomei was stunned and asked, "What is the airship beacon?"

Dachun said, "It's like a lighthouse on the sea. Ships can see the lighthouse and determine their location, so they won't go astray. This airship flying in another dimension probably needs something like this, right? If it does, it should be on the highest mountain."

Xiaomei got excited: "I love lighthouses the most, let's go check it out! Come on, Tidal Force!!"

As the water element's body flashed with golden light, it accelerated again and directly collapsed into the map!

Dachun was really sweating. This was just using the divine power as he pleased, just for fun!

Let's have fun! The reason for looking for the signpost is that Dachun wants to confirm which force the airship belongs to. Anyway, Mother Earth is knowledgeable and can contact her at any time.

If it is a hostile force, we have to do something to weaken their control over the Golden Continent, which will be beneficial to both Chenghua and the mermaid.
