Chapter 739 - The Shocking Electric Tower (1/2)
“What should we do?”
Meng Chao asked Long Feijun with his eyes, “Should we take the risk to approach it and confirm our coordinates?”
“Approach it!”
Long Feijun pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind. Then, he explained to Meng Chao, “This area is the only place that is relatively smooth and stable in the rugged mountains nearby. If our armored airship troops want to launch a large-scale assault on the Hidden Mist Domain, this is the best landing spot.
“Therefore, even if it is dangerous, we have to get close to it. Then, we have to figure out what the super high-voltage transmission towers that are covered in moss, vines, and branches have become!”
Meng Chao nodded.
He clenched the Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber tightly.
The dark gold chains on his arms were swimming slowly as if they had a life of their own, making slight friction noises.
Under Long Feijun’s orders, the rear gate of the Kun Peng’s aerostat gasbag opened, and extremely high-pressure spirit energy whizzed out, colliding with the steam whistle and producing an extremely sharp siren.
It was the siren of the highest battle readiness.
For a moment, the Kun Peng was like a sailing battleship from Earth’s 17th and 18th centuries. The muzzles on both sides of the pod were opened, and countless pitch-black gun barrels extended out.
The Heaven Realm warriors who had been recuperating in the pod unleashed their strongest vitality magnetic field.
They even operated the magnetic levitation force and flew out of the pod to patrol the surroundings. They only relied on safety ropes to remain connected to the Kun Peng.
As they adjusted the angle of the propeller and tail, the Kun Peng tilted slightly downward and dived into the airspace above the jungle, where the mist was even denser.
Looking down from there, the jungle was reminiscent of a deep sea that was frozen with black waves.
Sensing the ripples created by the armored airship, countless birds and beasts trembled in the depths of the jungle, running like wolves and pigs.
Since they had exposed their positions, it caused a wave of fighting among themselves. Their roars and cries were incessant.
The imposing manner of the Heaven Realm warriors acted as a layer of shining armor with thorns, silently demonstrating the Kun Peng’s power. There were not even many blind monsters that dared to fly up and provoke the giant beast in the sky.
Meanwhile, the UHV transmission towers were getting closer and closer.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked far into the distance.
Through the mist, he found that these things appeared ten times more bizarre than the pictures taken by the man-eating pomfret team and Lu Siya.
They did not look like green giants, but more like giant green zombies.
When they were eight hundred meters away from the UHV transmission towers, Long Feijun signaled the Kun Peng.
He wanted the Kun Peng to circle the UHV transmission towers and scan the surrounding terrain to see if it matched the map drawn by the man-eating pomfret team as well as Lu Siya.
If the data matched and the current coordinates could be confirmed, they did not need to take the risk to go deeper. Long Feijun and Meng Chao reacted the same as everyone else when they saw the giant green zombies. They felt a little scared.
As for firepower reconnaissance, it could be done with carrier-based rockets and suicide drones.
Unexpectedly, just as the Kun Peng was about to turn its propeller in the opposite direction and stop in midair…
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish.
A few strange tentacles suddenly shot out from the mist below them.
“What are those?!”
Meng Chao cursed inwardly.
He could see that the green tentacles seemed to be cables covered in moss.
However, he did not realize that the cables of the UHV transmission towers could extend so far.
Besides, gray claws were growing at the ends of the cables, which looked like the claws of demons.
Red eyes seemed to be opening on the claws.
They also seemed to be able to detect the spiritual ripples from the crystal engines and shot toward the engines and the propellers precisely.
The sirens were incessant. The Kun Peng was maneuvering in an emergency. The Vulcan cannons on both sides of the cockpit and above the airbags began to fire crazily.
The superhumans patrolling around the armored airship waved their cold weapons and slashed at the cables with their airtight sabers and swords.
More than ten cables were broken on the spot.
However, a fish that escaped the net still crawled into the depths of the propeller and tore the shell apart easily. The gears and the transmission shaft inside were stuck.
The crystal engine immediately emitted ear-piercing cracking sounds, spurting out large clusters of sparks and black smoke.
The cables were stretched straight and extended all the way to the depths of the mist, pulling the Kun Peng by force.
It was as if a green giant was wrestling with an armored airship.
More cables covered in moss were shooting out from the mist.
“Cut it off!”
A heavy machine gunner fell from the top of the airbag in the violent turbulence just now. He was hanging on the side of the aerostat gasbag by the safety rope and could not climb up for the time being.
Long Feijun had no time to save him, but he took down the entire heavy machine gun tower and held it in his arms. He crazily poured the most accurate fire at the cables that were attacking like the nine-headed giant python.
As he fired, he turned his head and roared angrily.
Meng Chao hurriedly pounced toward the crystal engine.
The Golden Tooth Blood Soul Saber slashed at the cables that were winding around the propeller.
At this moment, in order to avoid another cable that was stabbing toward the cockpit, the Kun Peng performed an emergency maneuver that almost tore the keel.
Perhaps it was because he had brandished his saber thousands of times in the past half an hour that his arms were extremely sore and his palms were burning.
If not, it was probably because the armored airship suddenly tilted and removed 50% of the force under Meng Chao’s feet.
