The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 340 Version Preview and Imminent Encounter with the Sword Immortal: Why Not Pay Homage?

"spaceship?"

A floating cloud was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look more closely.

A streak of fire flashed across the sky, and the shape of a spaceship could indeed be vaguely seen within it. As the fire drew closer, the shape of the spaceship became clearer and clearer.

It was a spaceship that was over sixty meters long and had three pairs of fixed wings. However, the spaceship seemed to have been attacked by something. There was a large hole in the spaceship, and it had lost power. Now it was falling in free fall.

"It's a spaceship I've never seen before, appearing here. Is it a random event?"

Looking at the spaceship, which was completely different from the existing flying transport vehicles and sky behemoths, Yi Ye Fuyun's eyes lit up.

There are many random events in the game, and the occurrence of random events often means great gains.

"Quick! Let's follow them, we can't let the others get there first!"

Immediately, Yi Ye Fuyun gave orders to the remaining dozens of people in the group, and they headed straight for the direction in which the spaceship had fallen.

……

A restricted area, beside a river with green hills and clear waters.

boom!
The fire and light collided with the ground, creating a crater with a radius of over two hundred meters in the restricted area, which was as hard as Class C alloy. A small hill tens of meters high was also leveled.

"The losses this time are too great. The Dawn is completely destroyed. The chairman will definitely make me write self-criticisms for at least six months." The middle-aged man, who was 2.34 meters tall and wearing a white captain's uniform, looked at the burning and completely disintegrated spaceship and shouted with his hands on his head. His face was indescribably ugly.

"Captain, you should be thankful that only the Dawn was destroyed, and everyone on board is alright. Otherwise, the chairman would have made you do more than just write a self-criticism." A beautiful woman, over two meters tall with short, jet-black hair, dressed in white, rolled her eyes at the man. "And shouldn't you be concerned about our current situation?"

The words of the elegant short-haired beauty resonated with the dozens of crew members who had disembarked from the Dawn spaceship.

While the Dawn is indeed precious, their current situation is clearly dire. If they don't find a safe place soon and attract the attention of the alien creatures on the ground, their chances of survival will be very low.

“We really should go back quickly now and report this matter to the chairman as soon as possible.” After a half-second of sadness, the middle-aged man nodded, his expression more serious than ever before. “Does anyone here know where we are?”

"When we were falling, I looked at the map. The location where we crashed is most likely in the Eastern Seventh District." The elegant short-haired beauty clicked on the metal device in her hand, displaying a holographic map.

If people from the four realms saw this holographic map, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the area shown by this holographic map is more than ten times larger than the map of the Four Domains, and even extends tens of thousands of kilometers into the forbidden zone, a place that none of the four major domain cities of the Four Domains have ever set foot in.

"East Seventh District? How did it end up in this place?" The middle-aged man looked at the light red area displayed on the holographic map, and his expression became serious.

Not only this middle-aged man, but everyone on the ship looked on with a solemn expression.

The holographic map is divided into different areas based on their level of danger, with colors roughly corresponding to gray, white, red, and black. Gray represents areas with little danger, white represents areas where the danger is tolerable, red represents areas with extreme danger, and black represents areas that are essentially death zones, where entering will result in certain death.

Although it's only a light red area right now, it's still a high-risk area, a place that a team of their level shouldn't even be allowed to enter.

"Captain! There are multiple life forms on the map that are rapidly approaching us!" The elegant short-haired beauty looked at another tablet in her hand and quickly reported.

"Multiple life forms reacting rapidly to approach?" The middle-aged man's face darkened. "Are they anomalies?" he asked.

“Judging from the mental fluctuations in the feedback, they are not any of the anomalies we have recorded. They shouldn’t be anomalies.” The elegant short-haired beauty said with slight surprise after looking for a moment. “However, I just sent the identification code, and these life forms did not respond. If they were wild beasts, they wouldn’t act together in such large numbers.”

"An unknown life form?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately ordered, "Everyone, prepare for battle. Although we don't know what this unknown life form is, this is the East Seventh District, not a place we can be careless about."

As the middle-aged man gave the order, the crew members present all became serious. One by one, they clicked on the metal wristbands on their wrists, and instantly the crew members who were originally wearing white clothes appeared in a set of white battle armor. A semi-transparent blue energy shield appeared on their wrists, and their blood and qi burst forth, revealing the blood and qi of the Blood Condensation Realm.

The middle-aged man at the head and the short-haired, exquisitely beautiful woman who served as his adjutant, although both wore the same white armor, possessed the aura and blood of a Celestial Realm expert.

In particular, the middle-aged man at the head of the group possessed a blood and qi that had reached the high level of the Celestial Realm. His blood and qi easily enveloped an area of ​​twenty or thirty kilometers. From a distance, it looked like a mountain of blood and qi standing tall in the restricted area, causing the animals in the surrounding restricted area to instinctively stay away.

"That NPC is so powerful!"

As Yi Ye Fuyun quickly arrived at the crash site of the spaceship, he was surprised to see the aura of blood shooting straight into the sky two or three kilometers away, as well as the oppressive and dangerous feeling emanating from the middle-aged man.

Since he obtained energy blood essence from the corpse in the ruins some time ago and advanced to the Blood Condensation Realm, he has not felt any danger, even when facing aliens.

But the NPC in front of him made him feel threatened with death, which was the first time since he entered the Blood Coagulation Realm.

Meanwhile, the appearance of Yi Ye Fu Yun and others left the middle-aged man and his group, who had been on high alert, completely bewildered.

"Humans?" The middle-aged man looked at Yi Ye Fuyun and the others with astonishment. "Why would humans live in a place like this?"

The identification code was sent through the instrument before, which basically confirmed that Yi Ye Fuyun and others did not come from the same place as them. As for the danger in the East Seventh District, it can be said that no one can survive there.

"Captain, could these people be survivors?" The short-haired, elegant woman pointed to Yi Ye Fuyun, who was wearing Tier 2 armor, and said, "Their armor is made with outdated technology from a hundred years ago. They are very likely survivors from the Great Transfer."

"Survivors?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. "A major discovery! This is a major discovery! I never expected that there would be survivors in this godforsaken place, East Seventh District. If we go back and report this, we could get a large amount of research funding."

Immediately, the middle-aged man ordered everyone to lower their guard. He then happily led the short-haired, elegant woman forward, raising his hands to indicate that he was not in danger.

"Why does this NPC's gaze feel so strange?" A Leaf of Clouds looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards them with a grin, and had a feeling that he was being treated like a lamb to the slaughter. "Is this NPC a lunatic?"

“Regardless of whether this NPC is mentally ill or not, triggering the quest is the most important thing. Even if his smile is crazy, we should keep smiling.” The Thousand-Blade Demon beside him also smiled as he watched the middle-aged man approach, and whispered, “After triggering the quest, we can just ignore this lunatic.”

"Everyone, just bear with it for now." Ye Qinglu sighed helplessly as she looked at the middle-aged man who was grinning like an idiot. Triggering a quest was really too difficult, and now she had to pretend to smile at a crazy NPC.

Just after Ye Qinglu and her companions had been chatting quietly for a few moments, the middle-aged man walked up to them with a beautiful woman with short hair.

"Hello! Can you understand me?" The middle-aged man looked at Yi Ye Fuyun and Ye Qinglu, both at the Blood Condensation Realm, and said, "I am Fan Yaoguang, the captain of the Dawn, which belongs to the Starfire Merchant Guild under the Sky Dome Sanctuary. This is your adjutant, Ke Xueli."

As Fan Yaoguang spoke, he used gestures to explain, afraid that Yi Ye Fuyun and the others would not understand.

Fan Yaoguang's performance made Yi Ye Fuyun and the others look at him as if he were a fool. How could a human NPC not understand when he speaks human language?
However, Fan Yaoguang's words stirred a sense of excitement in Ye Qinglu and the others. The Sky Dome Shelter?

Spark Commerce Guild?

These are all new terms that have never appeared in the game information. Especially when you see the white armor worn by Fan Yaoguang and others, the texture, the streamline, the technology, and the shield that the NPC showed you earlier that looked like an energy shield, it completely surpasses the armor they are wearing now.

This is clearly a version preview, meaning they have likely encountered a new version launch quest.

"Hello, we are from the Sky Guard Regiment under the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. You can call me One Leaf." One Leaf Floating Cloud paused for a moment, then replied very professionally, "We just saw the spaceship crash and rushed over. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Fan Yaoguang was taken aback. "Anyone running a martial arts school in a place like the East Seventh District?"

The East Seventh District was marked as a highly dangerous area. He couldn't even imagine what kind of entity would dare to open a martial arts school in this place.

Moreover, to be able to open a martial arts school in such a place, just how comfortable must one's life be?
However, Fan Yaoguang quickly shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

Now that we've finally met the lucky survivors after the Great Migration, this is a once-in-a-century discovery. The first thing to do is to make contact and learn about the survivors' situation. Moreover, as a member of the merchant guild, it would be best to establish trade with the lucky survivors.

"Hello, Lord Yiye." Fan Yaoguang said gratefully, "Thank you all for your help. We are indeed in trouble now. My crew needs to rest, and the equipment is damaged, so we cannot contact shelter. If possible, we hope that Lord Yiye can provide a safe place for us to rest. We are willing to pay the corresponding reward."

"Provide a safe place?" After listening, Yi Ye Fu Yun pondered for a moment and said, "That's no problem, but it still needs the Master's approval."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Yiye, to make the introduction." Fan Yaoguang nodded, not surprised at all.

After the Great Migration, it was extremely difficult for people to survive in such an environment. Suddenly introducing a group of outsiders into the settlement would definitely require the approval of the administrators.

“No problem, then we’ll lead the way.” Yi Ye Fuyun looked at it and became even more certain that this was definitely the start-up quest for the new version. He couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

I originally thought this limited-time event was over, but I didn't expect to encounter the new version's launch mission. If I do well on this mission and get the new version's weapons and equipment, I'll definitely be ahead of other teams.

Fan Yaoguang then instructed his crew to take the necessary items and follow Yi Ye Fuyun and the others to the headquarters of the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

However, after traveling for less than two hours, when they were still more than 200 kilometers away from the nearest temporary camp, Fan Yaoguang and his group quickly discovered a major problem.

"Captain, life detection indicates that a large number of aliens are slowly approaching." The beautiful adjutant, Ke Xueli, reported quietly, her face somewhat gloomy. "There are more than three thousand of them. Five of them are at the Celestial Realm level, three are at the initial stage of the Celestial Realm, one is at the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, and one is at the advanced stage of the Celestial Realm."

"Truly worthy of being called the Seventh District of the East, with five Celestial Realm experts?" Fan Yaoguang couldn't help but frown slightly.

As an adjutant, Ke Xueli, with her mid-stage Celestial Realm strength, was confident that she could easily hold off three early-stage Celestial Realm aberrations. As a high-stage Celestial Realm Grandmaster, he could also hold off three mid-stage Celestial Realm aberrations, and if they were early-stage Celestial Realm aberrations, he could kill them quickly.

As for facing a high-level Celestial Realm alien, he was confident that he could suppress it alone. However, the opponent now had five Celestial Realm beings, including a high-level Celestial Realm alien leader, which was an overwhelming disadvantage for them.

"There's no other way. Notify those people at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy." Fan Yaoguang said through gritted teeth, clearly unwilling. "You and I will prepare to break through in a bit."

Faced with such a massive army of aliens, fighting them head-on is definitely out of the question, and expecting a team with only two Blood Condensation Realm warriors to hold the fort is a joke.

With the team's survival uncertain, their only option was to break through with their adjutant, Ke Shirley; otherwise, staying meant certain death.

Lieutenant Ke Xueli understood, and simply nodded before walking towards the group led by Yi Ye Fuyun to inform them of the matter. This was the last duty they could fulfill.

"Are we already surrounded by the alien army?" Upon hearing this, Yi Ye Fu Yun drooled as he looked at the tablet device in Ke Xue Li's hand.

The most troublesome thing in the restricted area is the aliens. They are usually hard to find. Occasionally, a few will pop up pretending to be victims and try to take advantage of the players in the team. After being exposed, they call for reinforcements. Otherwise, they accidentally fall into the alien army's hunting net. If they are simply dealt with, it is easy to handle.

Often, the real trouble comes from not being able to solve the problem, which can directly lead to the loss of both people and money.

The tablet device in Ke Xueli's hand is simply a magical artifact. It can clearly see the aliens within a 100-kilometer range, and even their strength is marked. If you get it, entering the restricted area and dealing with aliens will be a piece of cake.

"Lord Yiye, the alien army is too numerous. If you want to escape, please prepare as soon as possible," Ke Xueli said.

"Escape?" Yi Ye Fuyun shook his head and said firmly, "Thank you for informing me, Lady Shirley. May I ask if you would allow us to handle this matter?"

They finally triggered a major mission, how could they let the alien army ruin it?

Although the alien army surrounding them was very strong, including even high-level Celestial Realm cultivators, they would not give up this mission, not even the Heavenly King himself.

"Lord Yiye, can you handle this?" Ke Xueli asked in surprise.

The number of over three thousand aliens is considerable. The weakest among them is close to the Blood Condensation Realm, and there are five Celestial Realm experts, including a high-level Celestial Realm leader. It's hard to imagine that this is something that Yi Ye Fuyun and his group could handle.

"Of course, please trust us," said Yi Ye Fuyun with great certainty. "As long as Lord Yaoguang and your men can hold off the high-level and mid-level Celestial Realm cultivators, we can deal with these anomalies!"

"Is it enough to just hold off the high-level and mid-level Celestial Realm anomalies?" Ke Xueli looked at Yi Ye Fuyun, who spoke with unwavering confidence. She thought that if Yi Ye Fuyun and the others could operate in the Eastern Seventh District without means of survival, they probably wouldn't be able to survive there at all. "Alright, I'll explain to the captain."

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Yi Ye Fuyun breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to avoid mission failure.

On the other side, after Ke Xueli gave her feedback to Fan Yaoguang, Fan Yaoguang was a little curious and didn't understand how the survivors of Yi Ye Fuyun would solve this big problem. However, Yi Ye Fuyun's plan did not affect his plan, so he agreed.

Soon, an army of three thousand alien beings appeared before everyone, with five Celestial Realm alien beings surrounding them, clearly intending to keep everyone here.

"Lord Yiye, although we can hold off those two Celestial Realm anomalies here, how are you going to deal with the remaining three?" Fan Yaoguang looked at Yiye Fuyun's team of dozens of people. There were only two Blood Condensation Realm cultivators, and the rest were all Bone Forging Realm cultivators. It was like a dream to fight against Celestial Realm cultivators, even if they were only at the initial stage.

"Sis, it's up to you now. I can only handle one." Yi Ye Fuyun then looked at Ye Qinglu, who had been resting with her eyes closed and holding a handful of energy crystals.

"No need, leave those three to me, you go help them." Ye Qinglu opened his eyes, his aura suddenly surged, a ball of flame energy enveloped his body, and he leaped into the air, then raised his hand.

Suddenly, the storage boxes carried by the team became restless, and swords flew out of them, their number quickly increasing from hundreds to thousands.

One thousand...two thousand...three thousand...

Three thousand longswords filled the sky, swirling around Ye Qinglu like a blazing sun. The sheer scale of the scene stunned even the five alien beings.
