Mobile City Travel Guide

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Li Xin waved to his companions who were running towards him from below.

At the same time, he glanced down below with concern.

From the moment the change began, in less than a minute, the black mist surged up nearly a hundred meters.

Although he didn't know what it was, his intuition told him that if he were to come into contact with the black mist, the consequences would be dire.

When the last group of people returned to the Starfire, the black fog was only a few dozen meters away. The rapidly rising fog waves surged beneath their feet, creating an extremely oppressive and unsettling atmosphere.

The scene was truly shocking. The black mist that permeated the bottom of the floating world was like a horizon that had suddenly been raised, frantically devouring everything in its path!

The nearby, lower, suspended mountain was the first to be affected. Black mist swept over its foot, climbing up the mountainside like a gray-black tide. Waterfalls, trees, cliffs, vines... everything within the mountain silently collapsed and vanished.

At this time, Xinghuo was in a rather awkward situation. Although Li Xin had realized the importance of the city wings, the production workshop was still in the process of manufacturing, so it obviously could not take off quickly.

But it seems that the new captain has a way.

"Lord, please hold on tight, everyone!" he said in a deep voice.

Li Xin was taken aback.

"What?"

The next second, the Spark suddenly jerked its head up, rising at an extremely dangerous angle! Its power engine increased rapidly, and the propellers frantically churned the thick atmosphere, pushing the entire mobile city diagonally upwards.

The deck instantly splintered, with everything tilting and falling towards the back of the city wall due to inertia. Everyone clung tightly to the railings, their feet leaving the ground as they were thrown off.

At that moment, the city's engines roared violently, and the airflow brought by the rapid ascent rushed in, blowing their hair and collars all over their heads.

Li Xin glanced back. The floating islands, waterfalls, suspended mountains, and massive rock formations... all the beautiful and awe-inspiring scenery before him had been swallowed up by the black mist, turning into blurry and changeable outlines in the ever-surging black fog.

He gritted his teeth and then roared.

"Keep rising!"

In the cockpit, the helmsman gritted his teeth and floored the accelerator. The roar of the city's engines suddenly rose, and the airflow churned by the propellers exploded into clouds of white mist at the city's tail, propelling the entire mobile city upwards at an accelerated pace.

The black fog beneath their feet continued its relentless pursuit, churning and rising violently, its mist resembling countless gray-black tentacles, attempting to entangle the city's foundation. As the black fog engulfed the Starfire, its propellers and hull emitted a piercing hissing sound, followed by the appearance of several cracks of varying depths and sizes.

Li Xin gripped the railing tightly while keeping a close eye on the black mist behind him.

For some reason, he always felt a strange palpitation when he looked at the black mist.

The feeling... was like it was alive.

For a fleeting moment, he vaguely saw something in the fog staring at the Starfire, and the surging fog seemed to transform into countless wriggling tentacles, desperately trying to hold onto it.

After noticing a spot in the black mist, he realized something and immediately shouted into the megaphone.

"Activate overload mode immediately!"

The helmsman was taken aback for a moment, then immediately did as instructed.

The Starfire's engines began to run at full speed, outputting power at a higher level. The entire mobile city began to tremble from top to bottom, as if something within its skeleton was awakening, tensing, and poised to strike.

Everyone instinctively gripped the railing tightly.

The next second, the entire mobile city suddenly shot into the air.

At the same time, a huge cloud of black mist suddenly rose up below, like a wild beast that had been waiting for a long time opening its huge mouth and pouncing!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The Starfire narrowly escaped the attack of the black fog, its tail skimming the surface of the fog and splashing up a cloud of gray-black mist.

The black mist that had suddenly risen over a hundred meters high hovered in mid-air for a moment after its attack missed its target, then sank limply like a snake with a broken spine and quickly dissipated.

After a long time, this catastrophic scene finally came to an end.

The Spark slowly regained its balance and continued its journey. The black mist beneath its feet finally stopped rising and remained suspended there quietly, like an endless black land.

Looking out, the entire mobile city resembled a lone boat, suspended on this black ocean.

After letting out a long sigh, Li Xin's brows furrowed.

According to his initial estimate, the black fog had risen approximately a thousand meters. If he hadn't reacted quickly, everyone would probably be finished.

"Phew... We've really experienced the customs and culture of this world." Lu Chen let out a long breath.

Despite his emotional expression, he seemed somewhat forced.

Li Xin gently shook his head.

Every world is vastly different, and a single misstep can mean the difference between life and death.

He gazed at the gradually calming black mist below and spoke softly into the microphone.

"Let's go up a bit higher."

After experiencing overload mode, the Starfire's power engines have become weakened and will take several days to recover. As a result, its current mobility has been significantly reduced.

Therefore, in the next few days, Li Xin naturally hoped that there would be no more setbacks—but this was obviously not something he could control.

Under new requirements, the helmsman raised the Xinghuo ship several hundred meters higher.

A few hours later, a pair of city wings emerged from the production workshop.

Its wingspan is tens of meters, the wings are streamlined, and each of the wings has a huge three-bladed propeller hanging in the middle.

After installation, Li Xin tentatively had the helmsman perform an ascent/descent and found the movements much smoother, and the city's attitude control was also much more stable. He couldn't help but nod slightly; at least the next time the black fog rose, everyone wouldn't be as flustered as before.

"So what exactly is this thing?" He frowned as he looked at the black mist below.

The Spark remained steady and slowly sailed into the unknown distance.

In reality, it is currently in a "pseudo-flight state," relying more on the magical "atmosphere and ocean" of this aerial world than on the city wings and other components—without it, the mobile city would have sunk completely the moment it arrived.

Li Xin, who was keeping watch on the watchtower, looked at the control panel.

[Current Task]

[1. "Hello, New World": Confirm whether civilization exists in this world. Reward: 1000 Evolution Points]

2. "Sky Hunter": Hunt down 100 aerial creatures. Reward: 1500 Evolution Points.

[3. "Flying City Travelogue": Reach a distance of 1000 kilometers in this world. Reward: 1000 Evolution Points]

After quickly scanning through the newly refreshed tasks, Li Xin found that they were not particularly difficult overall.

Not long after, he made another surprising discovery ahead.
