When using the Flying Technique, the True Qi that serves as the power source adheres to the body's surface, forming a faint protective layer. Although it cannot completely isolate the body, it eliminates the need for direct airflow like it does now.
"Forget it, let's just use Bulma's plane."
Li Xia took out the capsule. The main reason he didn't want to use it before was that the all-metal world had a significant impact on airplanes. The electromagnetic waves were all chaotic, and the 2.2 times gravity was a big problem for airplanes manufactured in a low-gravity world, as it would make it difficult for them to fly.
"I'll take control. We'll probably need to reduce the gravity a bit to take off smoothly." Awoo clearly understood this as well, fiddling with his paws.
"Navigation can also fail, the map will be blank, and automatic driving will be impossible, requiring manual intervention."
From within the thick white smoke, a futuristic-looking aircraft appeared out of thin air. They entered the cabin, roaring and shaking off their dread, and slammed a claw down on the plane:
"Let's go!"
................
"Oh!"
The tank carrying the shield had its muscles bulging high, its face flushed red, and it gritted its teeth, holding on tightly.
The metal resurrected corpse's right hand, now tumor-like, used the rebound force to raise high and slam down again.
"Boom!"
Tank's face turned pale then red, with a faint trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. A beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping his body, and his complexion immediately improved visibly.
The fire mage behind him raised his staff, and a scorching ray struck the metal resurrected corpse on the head. In just a few seconds, the metal resurrected corpse's body turned red and began to melt.
Tank's fur curled up, and it jumped backward, looking at its charred silver shield with a pained expression.
"Stanny, what's the rush? I'll be able to convert the power absorbed by the shield into binding force soon. If the shield breaks, you'll have to contribute to help me fix it!"
Stanis haughtily tossed her long golden hair and gracefully walked to the blue crystal to begin restoring her magic power, not even bothering to reply.
"you!"
Tank angrily pointed at Stanis, but the curses that were about to spill out remained unspoken. Everyone in the Garbage Collector knew that Stanis was the possession of Kieran, the fourth-tier core seed.
Kieran is an extremely domineering person. He is currently the chief of the fourth-tier arena. In theory, he should have been promoted to the fifth tier long ago, but he has dragged it out for three worlds, and the rewards have been greatly reduced.
Rumors within the guild suggest that they will begin the process of advancing to higher ranks after this world event.
"Kieran, your pet... is quite unique."
A young man with two horns on his head put down his cup and glanced at the young man sitting next to him with his red vertical pupils.
He was almost perfect, or at least appeared to be perfect, like a handsome protagonist straight out of a comic book. His light golden hair was slightly curled, and there wasn't a single flaw on his face. Every detail seemed to have been carefully crafted by the Creator.
Several buttons on his white shirt were undone, revealing his muscular physique. He seemed to possess an explosive power that was completely at odds with his handsome appearance.
"You're interested? It's yours."
Kieran waved his hand and said lazily, his eyes, which glowed with a faint light, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
Hell Echo and their hundreds of apostles were dealing with the frenzied attacks of hundreds of metal resurrected corpses in an orderly manner.
Beneath the towering crystal that resonates with life and magic, apostles would occasionally come over to sit down and recover, while others, having recovered, would silently pick up their weapons and head back to the battlefield.
Everything was so efficient and orderly. The ferocious monsters and the calm apostles formed a stark contrast. The sounds of clashing metal, the sharp crack of sonic blades, and the hum of crystals intertwined, yet instead of appearing chaotic, they exuded an ultimate sense of orderly beauty.
In small-scale battles, even the Divine Kingdom Palace has to admit that the eight major guilds are indeed powerful, but once they are scattered or scaled up, they are weaklings.
"Forget it, she's just a woman. She'll only last a few times. She's not as good as an android."
Ruzan casually traced the dark gold patterns on an alloy ingot beside him with his fingertips:
"Are you sure you'll advance to the next level after you enter this world?"
"What? Can't wait any longer? I've been waiting for three whole worlds."
Kieran propped his legs up on the table, his smile extremely gentle, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.
"If you don't leave, how can I advance to the third-tier chief? Before I came in, I heard that there was a freak trying to climb the rankings, and he was extremely strong."
Ruzan shrugged:
"It must be that Xia, right? He's got some skills. It's rare to see a lone wolf stand out like this and still be alive."
I heard the entire hunting party was wiped out, and those useless guys in the guild are still racking their brains trying to figure out how to clean up the mess.
"summer....."
The smile in Kieran's eyes faded, replaced by an indescribable coldness, but it quickly disappeared, returning to its previous gentle and refined appearance.
"As you know, this world was arranged by that person. I heard that my family and your family went to great lengths to severely injure it and accurately send it to this world."
After completing this world, I'll definitely advance to the next level once I obtain the Golden Embryo, so there's no rush. After this world, you'll be the new Chief.
"A golden embryo..."
Ruzan placed his hands on the armrests and looked at the sky. Although he didn't know what the Golden Embryo was, he knew that it was something that had made the proxy go to great lengths to send it to a certain fourth-tier world. It had also joined forces with the proxy of Hell Echoes to twist the rules and allow the two guilds to enter through the reward world method.
Even Kieran, hailed as the most talented core seed in the last hundred years, has been waiting for three worlds. So even if we don't know exactly what the Golden Embryo is, we can be sure that it is incredibly precious!
How much longer until we reach the Valley of Origin?
Ruzan suddenly didn't want to wait any longer. He was even eager to go to Origin Valley to see what the two agents had gone to great lengths to deliver.
They couldn't wait for Ruzan to advance and leave so they could quickly get the Chief reward and advance as well.
Others may not know, but Ruzan is well aware of the strength of the fourth-tier Hell Echoes, who specifically hunt down Fate Hunters.
The Demon of Crusade, Alabos, is incredibly powerful, especially in PvP. He often spars with himself within the guild and excels in every aspect.
Even with such a group of people, along with the five-man hunter team of Time Scavengers, they were still completely wiped out.
The shock of this discovery was so profound that he couldn't even express it to outsiders.
"Valley of Origin... still a few dozen kilometers away, getting itchy hands?"
Kieran remained unconcerned and said that the closer they got to the Valley of Origin, the denser the metal resurrected corpses became. The battle that had drawn the entire world into it had lasted for decades, and the number of corpses thrown into the valley was in the tens of thousands.
That's a starting volume of hundreds of thousands!
Even during the years of the zombie outbreak, although some of the remaining humans were killed and others were scattered in various corners of the world, most of the zombies would unconsciously return to Origin Valley because of it.
Every step required constantly clearing away the resurrected corpses.
"Yes, I think... it's a bit too slow."
Ruzan stood up, stretched, and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a raging fire burst into flames, a pair of fleshy wings unfurled from his back, and his body turned as red as if stained with blood.
Wisps of sulfurous smoke billowed from his mouth and nose as he transformed into a streak of fire and plunged into the metal resurrected corpses. Instantly, chaos erupted on the battlefield as men and horses fell to the ground. The demonic flames in his hands seemed to even make these metal lumps feel pain, causing them to writhe and collapse to the ground, their bodies displaying illusory faces that opened their mouths and let out silent screams.
Kieran smiled slightly, as if he hadn't seen her, stood up, winked at Stanis who was gazing at him with affectionate eyes, held up two fingers to make a walking gesture, and then turned and walked into the luxurious suite that resembled a palace.
Stani blushed, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and glanced around somewhat shyly. But then she realized what she was doing, stood up confidently, and walked toward the suite.
Her lover is perfect and powerful. What's there to be ashamed of in having such a lover? Last time, Kieran even said that she belonged only to him.
So... this is love, right?
.............
Life inside the aircraft was quiet and...boring.
"East Wind!"
With a flick of its paw, Xiaotian tossed the card into the deck. With a serious expression, it carefully picked up a card with its paw and then glanced at its own hand.
"Woof! (Chicken!)"
Overjoyed!
"Eat chicken!"
Li Xia calmly played two cards:
"Wait, for the chicks!"
Black Charcoal excitedly pushed the cards:
"Meow! (A lone chick!)"
Aowu peeked at Black Charcoal's all-suit hand, then dejectedly pushed his cards away.
"I'm not playing anymore, the kitten won all the games!"
"Beep beep, beep beep"
A beeping sound came from the android pilot's body, and the three little ones, who had been listless, immediately jumped up.
Li Xia simply opened the map and looked at the dense red dots on it, indicating that there were less than 100 kilometers left.
A smile slowly spread across his face.
We're almost there!
---------------------
1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote
I'm really sorry, there's a ton of stuff going on at the end of the year. It's just that things are different now compared to when I wasn't married or had kids, so this is kind of a headache for me.
Chapter 4 The Hunt!
Under the roar of the controls, the aircraft silently descended to the ground. Black Charcoal skillfully pressed the switch on the outside of the aircraft, and after another muffled sound, the aircraft transformed back into a capsule in the thick smoke.
Li Xia looked around at his surroundings; it was a rather open valley.
On both sides are towering alloy cliffs, the cliffs sculpted by time and the torrent of metallization into crisscrossing ravines, gleaming with a cold, silvery-white luster under the sunlight, and the wind that blows through the canyon sometimes carries fine alloy fragments whistling past.
These metal shavings make a crisp "clinking" sound when they hit other things.
The air was filled with a strong smell of rust. At first, it was a little hard to get used to, but after smelling it for a while, it became quite intoxicating.
"Based on what I've heard, the guild's perimeter is generally around 80 kilometers, with a maximum of no more than 100 kilometers. It forms a ring shape, with the outer perimeter being extremely loose, mostly consisting of equipment and the like."
The further in you go, the stricter the controls become.
Aowu poked at his tablet, on which a simple diagram was drawn, like a target with rings, the center of the circle being the objective.
This defensive posture is also known as "targeted vigilance," especially the "nine rings" close to the core area, which is within a two-kilometer radius, making it a comprehensive and blind-spot-free vigilance.
Normally, there are 3-4 perception-type apostles using a specially constructed composite perception system to monitor this area.
24/7 monitoring.
Li Xia nodded. This is what happens when you do too many bad things; you always become suspicious and feel like someone is trying to get rid of you.
Hmm... there is, and I came here myself, didn't I?
"Let's proceed on foot first, and we'll talk about it when we get there. The first half shouldn't be too difficult; the main challenge is figuring out how to break through the perception barrier of the eighth and ninth rings."
Li Xia nodded, having made up her mind. Actually, flying a little further forward wouldn't be a bad idea, but it was better to be cautious than to make a big mistake. It would be better if she were discovered.
After agreeing on the preliminary battle plan, Li Xia took the lead and walked forward.
This place is completely different from the plains I've seen before. Whether it's the abandoned port or the plains where it is, the ground is generally flat, but the ground in the valley is not like that.
Instead, it is covered with an undulating "metallic humus layer," a product of the complete assimilation of vegetation, rocks, and corpses a hundred years ago. It is hard but full of pores, and when you step on it, it makes a slight "crackling" sound. A small amount of mercury seeps out of the pores, forming thin silver lines on the ground that meander into the depths of the valley.
The further they went, the wider Aowu and Heitan's eyes widened. Finally, they simply took out their camera and started taking pictures non-stop.
What appeared before their eyes were the remnants of one war after another.
There were alloy spears half-inserted into the ground, and a toppled brass battering ram, its body covered with a thick layer of alloy and its surface covered with scratches from the resurrected corpses; there was also a broken alloy tent frame, with rusted iron chains wrapped around the frame and metal rust stuck between the chain links.
Black Charcoal curiously pulled out a long spear. Even though hundreds of years had passed, the spearhead was still sharp despite being rusted, and the shaft was engraved with the emblem of a kingdom that had long since perished.
Xiao Long also pulled out some trash blue gear from his personal space. He didn't know when he had left it there, and he had forgotten to clear it out because it was worthless.
"Give it a try!"
Manipulating gravity to levitate the blue heavy armor in mid-air, Black Charcoal weighed the broken spear in his hand and hurled it forcefully at the armor.
Amidst the whistling wind, the spear seemed to pierce through a layer of tofu with ease, then sank deep into the metal rock, with only the exposed shaft trembling slightly.
"hiss------!"
Aowu and Heitan gasped together, their breath filled with the chilling smell of rust. When calculating defense, heavy armor is generally a level higher than medium armor, while light armor is the lower limit of the same level in terms of defense.
Judging by the sharpness of this broken spear, it could probably pierce even a suit of heavy purple armor with ease.
This is a discarded spear!
There are no other enhancements, only its inherent sharpness!
