Since the old demigod was in charge, the Emperor's Ship did not encounter any trouble along the way.
They encountered an imperial-level sea king along the way, but the old demigod slapped it into the bottom of the sea. No one knew if it was dead or alive. There were no other monsters that came to look for trouble.
After more than two hours of sailing, the airship took off at about 12 noon.
The Emperor's Ark flew at an altitude of ten thousand meters, then fifteen thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, and finally more than thirty thousand meters. After passing through the layers of clouds, everyone finally saw the boundless floating continent above their heads.
The entire continent was shrouded in dense clouds and was separated by a layer of transparent membrane. It didn't even cast a shadow on the surface of the sea. If one didn't ascend to a height of more than thirty thousand meters and observe from a close distance, it would be impossible to discover the ruins hidden in the dense clouds and mist.
Lin Huang speculated that the person who discovered the ruins might have been chased by the sea king, which was why he flew to such a high place. Usually, people and airships would fly at a height of 10,000 to 12,000 meters. Very few of them would go higher as the air would be thinner the higher they went. It would be a heavy burden on the human body.
"Alright, we're here." The old demigod's voice soon came into everyone's ears.
"Remember to set the coordinates using the Dimensional Portal as soon as you enter the ruins. If you can't stay any longer, just teleport to the border of the ruins. As soon as you get out of the protective layer, you'll be teleported back to the safe zone. " The imperial-level man in the military uniform spoke again, "The Coalition government's military department will officially take over the ruins on the 7th of August. By then, you'll have three days to evacuate. That means that the 10th of August will be the deadline for everyone to stay in the ruins. Those who stay in the ruins after the deadline will have to bear the consequences. "
Nobody had anything to say about what the Coalition government did. It was actually a common practice in Division 3. Since the ruins were unpredictable, the Coalition government was worried that they would suffer a great loss. Therefore, they sent two teams to explore the ruins with other organizations. After the preliminary results of the exploration were out, they would conduct an assessment before sending a large team to take over and start a large-scale development.
Lin Huang and the rest were the first batch to enter the ruins. They were the vanguards. The Union Government would not care about how much they could benefit from it. It all depended on their own abilities. After all, they were only given a month's time to stay. The surface area of such a large continent was so large that if more than two thousand people were thrown in, they wouldn't even be able to make a splash.
After the man in uniform finished speaking, everyone took off from the spaceship and flew towards the floating continent.
Lin Huang followed the group of people from the Heaven Alliance into the ruined continent. When he passed through the transparent protective barrier, Lin Huang did not feel any obstruction at all. He only felt as if he had passed through a layer of water, and when his skin came into contact with the barrier, he felt a faint coolness.
After entering the ruined continent and seeing the world behind the barrier, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
Just now, outside the protective shield, everyone saw a dense forest, but after passing through the protective shield, the world in front of them was a world of ice and snow.
As far as the eye could see, the entire world seemed to be a vast expanse of whiteness, and snowflakes were constantly falling from the sky.
The people from the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association seemed to have expected such a situation. After spending a few seconds to organize their teams, they left far away.
A few of the teams from the underground organizations also chose a direction and left.
Many of the remaining organizations went after the people from the Coalition government and the Hunters' Association as it was the safest to follow them.
Shen Tao glanced at Lin Huang and the rest. "Which team are we going to follow?"
"It's up to you. It's fine as long as we don't follow the teams from Dynasty and the Saints," Lin Huang said with a smile seeing that the people did not have any opinion.
"Then, we'll follow the Coalition government. No matter how bold Dynasty is, I don't think they'll attack the people from the military." Shen Tao made up his mind seeing that the people did not have any opinion.
Only then did the people from the Heaven Alliance follow in the direction of the military headquarters' team.
Lin Huang followed at the back of the team and secretly summoned Bloody. He got it to release the colorless Leech Pods secretly to find out the exact situation of the ruins.
They flew for some 20 minutes and did not encounter any monsters along the way. They only found traces of battle that were left not too long ago.
Looking at the battle traces below, Lin Huang thought it was a little odd. However, he could not tell what was wrong at the moment, so he did not say anything.
After flying for some ten minutes, Lin Huang and the rest saw a few teams stopping not far away. One of them was the team from the Divine Alliance.
"What happened? Where are the people from the Coalition government?" Shen Tao asked.
The rest of the teams knew that Lin Huang and the rest were from the Heaven Alliance. Hearing Shen Tao's question, one of them explained, "We've been fooled by the people from the Coalition government. The battle traces on the way were faked. They actually went in another direction."
After the reminder, Lin Huang just recalled why he felt something was wrong when he was at the scene of the battle earlier. The scene of the battle earlier was too clean and tidy. It did not look messy at all. Now that he thought about it, only a scene that was purposely set up would look like that.
"The Coalition government must've sent people here to explore a few days ago. They must've found something, so they got rid of us on purpose," Gu Li from the Divine Alliance said angrily.
"No matter what they found, it has nothing to do with us now." Shen Tao glanced at Gu Li. If the Coalition government had really sent people to explore the ruins a few days ago and found something, they would definitely use the Dimensional Portal to locate the coordinates. The people from the Coalition government might be thousands of kilometers away now.
Shen Tao turned around and flew back to the Heaven Alliance. He did not want to waste any more time with them. "Let's go."
Hearing Shen Tao's words, it was obvious that someone wanted to remind him. However, Gu Li glared at him and he did not say anything.
However, Lin Huang noticed that detail. "Wait!"
"Lin Xie, what's wrong?" Shen Tao was puzzled.
"My friend, can you tell me why you guys stopped here and why you guys aren't going any further?" Lin Huang flew slowly to the person who wanted to speak earlier.
That person looked at Gu Li awkwardly. Shen Tao also noticed that Gu Li seemed to be playing tricks in the dark. "Just say it. If someone comes to trouble you because of this matter, I will help you settle it."
"Someone used a detection relic to detect that there's a group of monsters blocking the way not far away. We've sent two immortal-level rank-7 powerhouses to check out the situation. It's been five to six minutes, and there's still no news."
Hearing that, Lin Huang and the rest looked at Gu Li in an unfriendly manner.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang communicated with Bloody through his mind, asking it to check out the situation in front.
Soon, Bloody sent a message back.
"The entire area in front is the Yeti Maniac's territory. However, we'll have to take a long detour if we want to take a detour."
Lin Huang frowned when he heard that.
The Yeti Maniac was a snow type natural monster that came from the Abyss Brink. It was a monster that was violent and crazy.
According to the monster guide, the monster was less than a meter tall and liked to live in groups. It looked like the snowmen that people built in winter. It was an ugly snowman.
Although their combat strength was not high as most of them were only on immortal-level rank-4 to rank-6, they were difficult to deal with. As they possessed the immortality characteristic of elemental monsters, as long as there was sufficient snow energy in the environment, their damaged bodies would be reconstructed.
Apart from that, the monster's best attack was to throw snowballs at people. Not only would the snowballs affect one's body, but they would also freeze one's Life Power. Even an immortal-level rank-8 or rank-9 would be frozen if they were hit by 10 to 20 snowballs.
After confirming that it was the Yeti Maniac's territory, Lin Huang figured that the two immortal-levels who went to check out the path earlier had been turned into ice sculptures by the Yeti Maniac.
