Chapter 738 - The Depths of the Mist (1/2)
Before the transmigration portal was assembled, five exploration teams had followed the tracks of the five missing teams and entered the Hidden Mist Domain from different directions.
Two other exploration teams were ready to explore the outer area of the Hidden Mist Domain carefully, hoping to find a few passageways between hills, gullies, swamps, and ghost lakes that could be used by mechanized teams.
The last three exploration teams would take three armored airships with the most powerful performance and the best piloting skills of the crew members. They would fly directly to the sinkhole at the foot of the divine fog mountain from three different directions.
The Kun Peng that Meng Chao and Long Feijun took was one of them.
It was because they carried the components of the other two transmigration devices.
If they were carried by Bread Crabs, the teams would be too large, and they would lose the flexibility to face the enemy in battle.
If a few Bread Crabs were attacked by a mysterious force in the Hidden Mist Domain, destroyed, or fell into a ravine and were washed away by the mudslide, the portal would not be able to complete the assembly.
It was still dangerous to fly directly to the depths of the mist by armored airships. However, with the support of Dragon City’s most powerful armored airships and the best crew, it was still worth taking a gamble.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before the three armored airships set off, dozens of railway guns increased the frequency of their bombardment.
The shells landed in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain, and the columns of smoke that rose up also changed from “mushroom clouds” to “sea-pacifying divine needles.”
Like hundreds of towering giant pillars, they forcibly supported the dark clouds and the fragmented sky, blocking the gaps of the storm and thunder that leaked out from the sky.
The Hidden Mist Domain, which was filled with howling winds, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder, suddenly became clear and calm.
Even in the dark sky, a touch of blue appeared, as if the mysterious world in front of them was slowly opening up a VIP channel for the humans.
That was a result of the humans’ weather interference bomb.
It was the secret weapon that could temporarily control the sky.
The effect of the weather interference bomb was limited. The three armored airships seized every second and set sail again, plunging into the illusory and vast body of mist.
Three to five minutes later, the military base behind them and even the glittering Dragon City on the horizon disappeared.
The surroundings were all pale and pitch-black.
They were like ants stuck to the back of a ladybug, drilling into a frothy world.
From time to time, a strange-shaped mountain peak would appear in front of them. It was only when they were so close that they almost crashed into it that they spotted it.
Even though the crew members of the Kun Peng were highly skilled and bold, riding a two-hundred-meter-long aerial behemoth and moving nimbly between the mountains like swifts, they still made the passengers break out in cold sweat, they swallowed countless mouthfuls of saliva.
Many mountains were especially eroded by the spirit energy that had been gushing out all year round. They were small at the bottom, big at the top, and light at the bottom. They looked like upside-down pyramids and giant beasts crouching in the mist with their bloody mouths wide open, ready to pounce on the Kun Peng at any moment.
When the Kun Peng passed by such a mountain, although the two parties did not collide, the spiritual energy ripples caused by the crystal engine and the propeller still triggered the high-energy reaction of the crystal ore vein hidden deep inside the mountain.
A series of dull explosions occurred where the mountain was hidden deep inside the dense mist.
The entire mountain was blown apart. Tens of thousands of tons of rocks rolled down, splashing thousands of square feet of huge waves and boundless smoke and dust in the rushing valley.
Such a magnificent and horrifying scene made everyone hold their breath and stare at the dense mist around them.
Meng Chao, Long Feijun, and the other experts even volunteered to climb out of the cabin and stand guard above the airbag. They were afraid that a huge rock would hit the Kun Peng and smash them into the valley where the Red Dragon River and Raging Tiger River were entangled.
Bang bang bang bang!
For this trip to the Hidden Mist Domain, the Kun Peng had been specially modified and installed with 16 machine gun turrets that rotated 360 degrees above the airbag.
At that moment, all the machine gun turrets were constantly shooting out fire chains, causing the surrounding mountains to crack and the huge rocks that were smashing towards the Kun Peng to explode. At the very least, it would change their falling trajectory.
Meng Chao brandished the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber while Long Feijun unleashed the iron fist that he was proud of nonstop. They were like railway guns, smashing the fish that escaped the net into pieces.
Although more than a thousand weather interference bombs had been dropped.
Still can not completely calm the mist hidden in the depths of the storm and lightning.
It was even less likely to suppress the violent, magnetic interference of this place.
Meng Chao poured spirit energy into his eyes and glabella, scanning the world around him in a brand-new perceptual mode he had just awakened.
“Seeing” deep in the mist, every mountain peak was like a forest fire.
Red, purple, blue, cyan, white, and even black flames burned, fluttered, and dance crazily straight toward the sky.
Of course, they were not real flames.
Instead, they were ripples of spirit energy released by the crystal lodes and the super-compressed spirit gas lodes hidden in the mountains.
No, they were not ripples anymore, but tides.
They were not much different from the spirit energy tides released by the Red Radiance Jade lodes below the raging waves mountains.
When superhumans fought in such places, extremely chaotic magnetic fields of the planets would interfere with their vitality magnetic fields. It would also be much more difficult to construct the spiritual magnetic fields.
The duration of extraordinary power would be shorter, and the forward swing and cooldown time would be longer.
The consumption of physical energy and spirit energy would also be three to five times faster than usual.
