Chapter 741 - Too Green (1/2)

As the Kun Peng glided rapidly, the two chain blades instantly straightened.

One of the chain blades was deeply embedded in the towering tree, almost cutting its trunk into seven or eight pieces.

The other chain blade, however, scratched the Kun Peng’s keel until it created sparks as if it was trying to break the keel that was made of super alloy.

The tremendous pulling force from the two chain blades was more like two trains that were moving in opposite directions. The crystal engines were blowing at the maximum, as though they were trying to tear Meng Chao apart from the middle.

Meng Chao’s eyes were bloodshot.

His skin was also as red as a cooked lobster.

Divine Nine Dragon Seals was activated to the maximum, and spirit energy rippled out of his 36,000 pores like tornadoes.

Mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos then appeared on every inch of his skin. All the spirit tattoos gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into several dragons that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

“What terrifying power!”

The exploration team led by Long Feijun was almost entirely made up of young officers from the Red Dragon Army.

Many of them had received Lei Zongchao’s teachings in Battle God Palace.

They could tell at a glance that Meng Chao had cultivated Divine Nine Dragon Seals to the highest level, and he was at the peak of perfection.

Obviously, he had received Lei Zongchao’s true teachings.

Even Long Feijun, who was at the peak of the Heaven Realm, was slightly stunned when he saw Meng Chao’s copper- and iron-like muscles emitting crystal-clear light.

He could not believe that Meng Chao, who had just entered the Heaven Realm, could cultivate to such a shocking level in just half a year.

But in the next second, they all reacted.

“Quick, help! Use this big tree to stall the Kun Peng!”

All the superhumans held the safety rope made of the monster’s tendons in their hands and threw it at the towering tree that Meng Chao was anchoring.

They also used the other end of the safety rope to tie up the Kun Peng’s keel.

If the safety rope was not long enough, it would be tied directly to Meng Chao’s chain blade.

Then, they clenched their teeth and widened their strange eyes. They used their strength together to help Meng Chao lighten his burden.

After that, they applied a new force to the Kun Peng from the lower slope. They dragged it firmly, drawing an arc that was different from the original falling trajectory.

The dozens of safety ropes were instantly stretched straight like chain blades.

The Kun Peng was akin to a wild horse that had been released and put on the reins.

Even though everyone, including Meng Chao, was pulling on the ropes with their arms as if they were about to tear them apart…

The Kun Peng and the keel under their feet also emitted ear-piercing sounds of metal fatigue and even cracking.

However, under the concerted efforts of the many Heaven Realm experts, the armored airship finally changed its direction inch by inch.

It changed from going straight forward to circling the towering tree.

At that moment, with a “kacha” sound, the towering tree that acted as the anchor point finally could not bear the strong pulling force. It was uprooted, and it flew up.

However, before it could fly thirty to fifty meters, it was stuck horizontally between the two trees.

The powerful force of the thump instantly snapped all the safety ropes.

Even Meng Chao’s chain blade left his hand and tore off a large piece of skin on his arm.

The Kun Peng once again became a wild horse.

Fortunately, after the efforts of Meng Chao and the others, this wild horse was also exhausted. After crossing the last few hundred meters, it crashed into a huge rock on one side of the mountain and fell to the edge of the swamp.

Boom!

The foul-smelling mud was like a raging wave, attacking the broken pod.

Fortunately, the aerostat gasbag with hundreds of airtight cabins was not completely dry, but it still provided 30% buoyancy.

In addition, the aerostat gasbag was nearly 300 meters long and had a huge surface area, dragging them along the swamp. They were partially gliding and partially sinking in the swamp, not sinking entirely into the depths.

The crew and the exploration team climbed out of the pod with difficulty and climbed made their way out of the swamp along the dry aerostat gasbag.

They only fell down when they found solid ground. Sprawled on the ground, they could not get up for a long time.

After panting for a while, their hearts gradually returned to their chests, and their three souls and seven spirits gathered together again. Only then did they get up with great difficulty. They looked at each other as they were covered in mud, looking neither like a human nor ghost. They revealed their snow-white teeth and laughed happily after surviving the disaster.

“Where is Meng Chao?”

The exploration team members searched with their eyes one after another.

Then, they gave a thumbs up to Meng Chao, who had washed away the mud on his face.

Many of the young military officers who had known Meng Chao since he was in Battle God Palace even gave him a bear hug. They thanked him for saving everyone and the mission.

Right then, the long-range bombing had ended.

The explorers climbed onto the towering trees at the edge of the swamp and looked into the distance. They saw that the valley, where the UHV transmission towers were located, had completely turned into a sea of fire.
