After dealing with the sand scorpions, the three of them did not encounter any other creatures in the Desert. Xuan Ning, who was usually noisy, was silent. Sha Ya did not look well, perhaps because she had vomited. Ye Chong could tell that Sha Ya was afraid of him. This was not the first time he had been looked at like this. Every time he used alchemy, everyone would look at him the same way. He was used to it.
To Ye Chong, he would never complain about being too quiet. To Sha Ya and Xuan Ning, the Desert was deserted. What was there to see? However, Ye Chong was able to observe the surrounding terrain very carefully, his expression focused.
This must be the last stretch of desert in the Desert. The exposed parts of the rocks on the ground glimmered with a metallic luster. There were more and more metal ores in the area. Ye Chong could tell that they were all low-grade ores. Unless one was skilled in extraction, these ores would not be of much value.
However, the changes still showed a tendency, and that was, the deeper one went, the more metal there was.
"Beyond this mountain is the Mist," Xuan Ning explained. He had recovered from the shock of three days ago, and looked normal.
The white mountain range was made of huge white rocks. It was not tall, but the rocks were jagged and barren. Rather than calling it a mountain range, it was actually just a small hill about three hundred meters high. However, it stretched horizontally for an unknown length of time, like a barrier. Large rocks were piled up together in a messy manner, making many places impossible to climb.
Of course, that was only for Xuan Ning and Sha Ya. It was less than 300 meters, and to Ye Chong, it was just a small hill.
Under Ye Chong's control, the Spider sprinted towards the small hill.
The eight-legged structure of the big spider was extremely adaptable to this kind of terrain. Some obstacles that were impossible for ordinary people could be easily jumped by the big spider with just a light leap.
Xuan Ning sighed, "Machinery is really powerful. A Spider like this is probably worth more than 10 Level 8 shooters. I'm starting to wonder if spending decades training my parapsychic sense was the right thing to do. If I had spent all that time studying machinery, what would have happened? "
Sha Ya looked at Xuan Ning in disbelief. She could not believe that a Level 9 shooter would say something like that. Archers had been training their divine thoughts since they were young. Their beliefs were firm and would never waver. This was also the main reason why they were stronger than others. Xuan Ning was the first Level 9 shooter in 50 years. How could she not be shocked when he said such a thing?
Ye Chong shook his head. "Everything has its limitations. Machines and parapsychic sense are the same. Divine Will, you know too little about it, and you never thought of using it in other ways, so you have this feeling now. "
"Other places?" Xuan Ning pondered, mulling over Ye Chong's words. Sha Ya, on the other hand, was confused. She still didn't understand the core of their discussion.
Ye Chong did not continue his explanation. He needed to focus on piloting the Spider.
However, what he had just said was something he had already expected. He had this feeling a long time ago. In terms of spiritual strength, this was the place with the highest average level that he had ever come across. Even the Xi Feng tribe, which was famous for their mentalists, could not compare to them. However, their use of spirit, which was what they called divine sense, was very simple. In comparison, the Xi Feng tribe was much stronger in this aspect.
The mentalists from the Xi Feng tribe might not be as strong as the Level 5 or 6 shooters here, but they had already mastered the ability to bind their targets. An expert like Huang Baiyi could even fight him at close range, unlike here, where once he lost his gun, he would not be able to fight back at all.
Not only that, the Xi Feng tribe was the best in terms of tactical coordination, second only to the Sang tribe. This was also a way for them to use their mentalists. The parapsychic abilities of the average mech pilot from the Xi Feng tribe were only equivalent to that of a Level 2 or 3 newbie here. However, they had more diverse uses of parapsychic sense.
As they passed through the white mountain barrier, the terrain changed significantly.
A faint purple mist appeared in front of them. The mist was blocked by the white mountain. The purple mist was very faint, as thin as a veil, and everything seemed to be a bit hazy.
It was much wetter here than in the Desert.
"This is the Mist," Sha Ya introduced, seeing that Xuan Ning was deep in thought. Ye Chong was the main character of their trip to Darkniss. Besides, Ye Chong's performance in the Desert had completely impressed Sha Ya. Sha Ya had subconsciously regarded Ye Chong as the decision maker among the three of them.
"The mist here is thinner, but it's much thicker up ahead," Ye Chong said.
He soon noticed that the faint purple mist was interfering with the holographic scanning system. The images on the screen were no longer clear. If the purple mist was really as thick as Sha Ya said, then the holographic scanning system was probably unreliable.
"There's interference. You guys will be responsible for safety and direction. I'll lead the way," Ye Chong ordered casually.
"Alright," Sha Ya replied.
After a long silence, Xuan Ning suddenly became excited. "Hah, I've been waiting for this moment. I haven't had a chance to fire a single shot along the way. My hands are getting itchy. "He grabbed the control lever in front of his seat excitedly.
Seeing that the two shooters were ready for battle, Ye Chong immediately removed the shields in front of their laser guns. These two light guns were more suitable to be called light cannons. It was already very powerful for a light gun to reach 4 million Lux, but the spider's two light guns reached 12 million Lux, and the light beams it shot out were very terrifying. Even the laser cannons on the fighter jets could only reach 8 million Lux. These two, well, let's call them laser gun bases. They could move freely.
A Level 8 shooter and a Level 9 shooter, with their powerful energy weapons, should be enough to protect themselves.
In the mist, the ground began to undulate. Trees began to appear, albeit sparsely. Just as Sha Ya said, the mist was getting thicker. The holographic scanning system was basically paralyzed. Ye Chong turned it off and switched on optical mode.
Ye Chong remembered clearly that the purple mist he encountered on Yi Ju had strongly interfered with the holographic scanning system. The scanning system could not see through the purple mist.
The purple mist before him was very similar to the purple mist he encountered on Yi Ju. Ye Chong immediately went on high alert.
"Left … Left … Right … Right …" Xuan Ning's excited voice came from the pilot cabin. He was now in charge of the holographic scanning system.
Under Xuan Ning's guidance, the Spider moved forward at a moderate speed. However, since Ye Chong could not see the ground clearly, the Spider was no longer as comfortable as it was in the Desert. It was very bumpy.
The purple mist grew thicker. Ye Chong could see nothing but a sea of purple. Xuan Ning and Sha Ya closed their eyes and spread their parapsychic waves in all directions.
The trees were growing thicker as well. The Spider was dodging more and more frequently.
"Stop!" Xuan Ning said suddenly.
"What is it?" Ye Chong asked.
Sha Ya reminded Ye Chong, "There's a dense forest ahead. The big guy probably won't be able to get in." She had a very deep impression of this dense forest. In fact, no matter who it was, as long as they came here once, they would not forget this almost impenetrable forest.
Xuan Ning's expression was grim. "It's hard to walk in there. The forest is dense, and there are vines everywhere. There's also a swamp. If you get stuck in there, you'll be dead. Many shooters have died here. "He added," This big guy will never be able to get in. What a pity. "He touched the control lever in front of him regretfully. He had not fired a single shot yet.
"How many days will it take to get through this forest?" Ye Chong asked after some thought.
Xuan Ning looked nostalgic. "We spent seven days last time."
Ye Chong looked at Sha Ya. She smiled bitterly and said, "My luck wasn't that good. I spent 14 days in this forest. I almost went crazy."
Both of them looked at Ye Chong. The forest was too dense, and the Spider was huge. It would be impossible for them to go through it. However, the two of them were unwilling to leave the spider here.
Ye Chong did a rough calculation and nodded. "I have an idea."
"What is it?" Xuan Ning and Sha Ya looked at Ye Chong.
Ye Chong said nothing. He lowered his head and worked on the control panel.
A piece of armor on the left side of the Spider's body suddenly slid open, revealing a weapon inside. Xuan Ning and Sha Ya were watching their surroundings with their parapsychic senses. Of course, this did not escape their notice.
The big spider's front left limb suddenly reached back and picked up the strange weapon. There was a soft click, followed by a high speed whirring sound. It was a laser saw!
"That's huge!" Xuan Ning could not help but exclaim. This light saw was about nine meters long and three meters wide. It was truly a big guy. However, its handle was very small, and could be easily hidden inside the Spider's body.
Xuan Ning and Sha Ya immediately understood Ye Chong's intention. They exchanged a look and said in unison, "Good idea!" There was no need to get off the Spider now. After all these days, the two of them had completely fallen in love with the Spider.
With the laser saw clearing the way, the Spider moved much faster. The Spider's long front limb swung lightly, clearing all obstacles in front of it. Some of them were even cut into pieces. Xuan Ning stared at the Spider in awe. "Good stuff, good stuff! I say, why do you have so many good stuff? This laser saw is really strong. Haha, the Spider you gave me must have one of these. "
If not for the Spider's limited carrying capacity, Ye Chong would have brought a ship cannon with him. Just one shot was enough to clear a wide path in this dense forest. Ye Chong believed that it would only take a few more shots to carve out a path through the forest. However, he later considered that the gunship was not flexible enough, bulky, and too heavy to carry around. It would consume too much energy, so he gave up on the idea.
The laser saw was more than enough to clear a path through the forest.
The forest was very humid, and the plants were flourishing. It was a pity that Ye Chong could not see anything. Forests like this would usually have some valuable plants. The soft layer of rotten leaves forced Ye Chong to be careful. Besides, they were very unlucky, and had already encountered a few swamps. Fortunately, Ye Chong was quick to react. With the help of the Spider's many legs, they would be fine as long as one of its legs was not stuck in the swamp.
Xuan Ning was excited. The Spider's firepower was too strong.
There were no large creatures in the forest, only small ones. However, Xuan Ning was enjoying himself. It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
He used to have to worry about being ambushed by the aggressive plants, but now he did not have to worry. The Spider was very thick, and the plants could not do anything to it. Besides, Ye Chong had shut off all the air holes, and used a closed circulatory system. The intoxicating gas from the plants could not affect them at all.
There was also the terrifying swamps. If it were in the past, they would have died a few times today. However, with the Spider's help, they were unharmed.
Xuan Ning's heart itched at the sight of the Great Luminous Saw, wishing he could swing it himself.
Ye Chong could not see clearly. He just wanted to get through the mist. Without Xuan Ning and Sha Ya's help, the forest was too dangerous for him.
The huge spider brandished its huge light saw, and with the occasional burst of incomparably thick light beams, it rampaged through the silent forest.
It took them only three days to get through the mist. When the mist thinned, and the images on the screen became clearer, Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
In front of him was a crimson wilderness. There were no plants growing on the crimson soil. The wasteland was flat and endless. It was desolate and devoid of life. He had just come out of the dense forest that was full of vitality, but what appeared in front of him was such a desolate wilderness. The strong contrast gave him a strange feeling.
"The red wasteland is not that big. With the Spider's speed, we'll reach the entrance to Darkniss in about a day and a half," Xuan Ning said.
Sha Ya studied their surroundings and said to Ye Chong, "That way." She pointed diagonally to the left. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW. CMFU. com. Support the author! Support the original!)
