Mobile City Travel Guide

A giant tree suspended in mid-air.

Its scale reaches an exaggerated kilometer level, with countless branches extending from the crown, and the foliage is so lush that it blocks out the sun, while the base is a vast root system that spreads in all directions.

At the top of the giant tree, a huge waterfall cascades down overhead, splashing up a misty spray.

Li Xin scratched his head, marveling at the magnificent spectacle before him. If this were his hometown, Earth, it would undoubtedly be one of the world's most popular tourist attractions.

When he picked up his binoculars to observe more closely, he also discovered a group of moving creatures next to the giant tree.

Some have flat, wing-like bodies with a pair of huge pectoral fins on their sides, much like manta rays in the ocean.

Some are completely transparent like jellyfish, with umbrella-shaped heads and tentacles.

Some have the outline of a fish, but no skin or flesh, only sections of bone.

"The ecology of this world is truly amazing!" he exclaimed.

It's a pity I didn't come here for tourism.

In the following period, preparations for the hunt began. This was not only to complete the hunting mission, but also to replenish the Starfire's food supplies.

On the deck, everyone quickly took their positions in front of the weapons. Since upgrading the production workshop, Li Xin had recycled and rebuilt the existing heavy machine guns and cannons, creating a new batch of Flesh Butcher machine guns and Tiger Crouching cannons.

With a roar, the Starfire accelerated, chasing after a group of manta ray-like aerial creatures. They clearly sensed that the approaching creatures were hostile; the lead manta ray suddenly flapped its fins, its body tracing an arc as it flew towards the other side of the giant tree, with its companions following closely behind.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xin ordered several Flesh Butcher machine guns on the deck to fire, their ammunition belts whistling as they swept out, mercilessly shooting them down.

The sudden gunshot startled the other airborne creatures, who scattered in terror. Only the group of bone fish did not retreat but advanced, charging menacingly towards the Starfire.

With a deafening roar, the Tiger Crouching Cannon opened fire. A powerful shockwave exploded among the fish, shattering their charging formation and stunning them completely.

"Huh? It works pretty well!" Li Xin exclaimed in surprise.

He quickly adjusted his strategy, ordering everyone to stop using the Flesh Butcher machine gun and instead bombard the area with the Tiger Crouching Cannon. This decision proved remarkably effective; with each Tiger Crouching Cannon shot, all the aerial creatures within range were stunned, allowing the Starfire to easily catch them with its nets.

In no time at all, the Starfire had captured all the aerial creatures, and the mission count soared to 72.

After assigning new people, they began to prepare the group of aerial creatures. During this time, he also briefly tasted a bite of their cooked meat; the taste was neither good nor bad, just enough to barely fill his stomach.

However, he wasn't too picky; as long as it could supply the city's population, he would take as much as it came.

"Since this Tiger Crouching Cannon is so useful, why not hunt some aerial creatures here as a food reserve?" he thought to himself.

Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from afar.

Li Xin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

A figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the giant tree.

It was a steampunk-style aircraft with a riveted fuselage, rows of protruding rivets, and brass pipes of various thicknesses winding from the nose to the tail, with white smoke hissing from the joints.

There were two humanoid beings sitting in the cabin. They were wearing leather jackets and goggles, and had various tools such as wrenches, pressure gauges, compasses, and measuring rulers attached to their bodies.

Li Xin looked at them, his mind buzzing.

There really is civilization in this world!

At that moment, the other side also spotted the Starfire. The pilot in front stared wide-eyed, not even bothering to fasten his goggles, while his companion in the back stared blankly at the Starfire.

But they quickly recovered and went on to do their thing—hunting a few stray bonefish.

Under the pilot's control, the aircraft, like an eagle that had adjusted its posture, skillfully and accurately swooped down towards the bone fish. The machine guns under the wings spat out short bursts of fire, breaking their spines one by one with precise bursts of fire.

The aircraft then flew past swiftly and caught them firmly with the racks under its belly.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds, and the movements were so smooth that they were completed in one go.

"Amazing!" Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Xin, on the other hand, looked hesitant and uncertain.

He was considering whether he should make contact to understand the specific situation of this world. Or... should he open fire and shoot them down now to prevent them from returning and reporting back?

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A huge shadow suddenly moved on the branches of a nearby giant tree.

It was a giant whale, reaching a size of two to three hundred meters, its entire body covered with moss and vines, and its back was covered with many flowers, grasses and trees—it was precisely because of this that it could blend in with the giant trees and remain unnoticed.

Suddenly, it leaped forward, hurtling towards the aircraft like a cannonball.

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, the pilot, without a second thought, jerked the control stick, narrowly avoiding the whale's attack. His companion swiftly pulled the trigger, but the bullets were pitifully weak, only managing to shatter a few patches of moss from its body.

The next second, the giant whale suddenly swung its head, opened its mouth, and snapped off most of the tail section.

The entire aircraft's copper pipes snapped instantly, the canvas tore, and it suddenly lost its balance.

The pilots in the cockpit frantically tried to maneuver the aircraft, making it fly erratically to avoid crashing.

Lu Chen subconsciously looked at Li Xin, who was slightly taken aback before waving his hand.

"Let's get started."

As the giant whale prepared to continue its pursuit of the aircraft, a series of surging bullets came hurtling down, causing bursts of blood to bloom on its body.

The sudden pain instantly aroused its ferocity, and it roared as it turned around and pounced on the Starfire.

This behemoth was far larger than the Starfire, and its agile movements, which were disproportionate to its size, made the battle extremely dangerous.

During the fierce battle, the Tiger Crouching Cannons on the deck of the Starfire fired one after another, and violent air shockwaves exploded in front of the giant whale, knocking it back and making it dizzy.

Amidst the deafening roar, the city's machine guns activated, unleashing a barrage of firepower like a meteor shower, blasting the giant whale to shreds.

After a fierce battle, the giant beast finally died. Its eyes lost their light, and its massive body slowly sank to the bottom.

"good!"

Li Xin clenched his fist, but when he saw the number "1" appear on the panel, his lips twitched.

"Huh? Does this only count as one?"

When the spacecraft could no longer hold on and slowly began to sink, the Spark glided steadily over and caught it with its robotic arm.
