In response to Li Xiang, the corpses continued to bombard him like a storm.
After using the Corpse Technique, Hei Xiang's complexion visibly worsened. It wasn't easy for him to focus on controlling the corpses, but at the same time, these inhuman corpses gave Li Xiang a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, he had fought these corpses before at the Black City Station. He knew that breaking their arms and legs wouldn't kill them. He could only use his Origin Substance Spear to blast their bodies to pieces in order to break free of the corpses' restraints.
Hei Xiang felt his scalp go numb. The corpses controlled by the Corpse Technique were several times stronger than the original owner. Normal Origin Substance Spears couldn't penetrate the corpses' skin at all, but Li Xiang's every shot was able to shatter the corpses he had carefully controlled. It was simply unbelievable.
The reason Li Xiang was able to produce such power was because he had added a little bit of Origin Substance to each shot. Although the overall power wasn't as great as the shot that had defeated the Kuang Tie, it was still enough to destroy these corpses.
As he watched the corpses on the ground dwindle and the number of corpses under his control dwindle, Hei Xiang felt true danger for the first time!
If this continued, one of these shots would eventually land on his head.
And this youth didn't seem to care about destroying the cabin at all. He had some misgivings at the beginning, but now he had blasted the cabin full of holes. Countless rays of light shot in through the holes, and dark clouds gathered outside as if a storm was about to descend at any moment.
"Dammit, if I could use my full strength, this kid would've been killed by me a long time ago," Hei Xiang cursed as he tried to think of a countermeasure.
The people who had come to his aid had only talked about the airship and the competitors, but hadn't mentioned this kid. Now that he thought about it, Hei Xiang felt that he had been set up and had instead become a whetstone to sharpen this kid.
As this thought flashed through his mind, an earth-shattering boom interrupted their movements.
The airship's cabin trembled violently, and then it spun 180 degrees. The two of them couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground.
The corpses flew out of the cabin through the half-broken metal door, disappearing into the dark clouds.
"What's going on?!" Li Xiang yelled at the pilot's cabin. Julie was a competitor of the special competition team. How could she not know how to control an airship?
Moreover, she had been in good condition before.
"It's a thunderstorm! Li Xiang, there are thunderstorm clouds ahead! " Julie's cry of despair rang out from the pilot's cabin. It wasn't that she didn't know how to pilot an airship. On the contrary, she was quite skilled at piloting airships. It was precisely because of this that she was so shocked when she saw the vortex of thunderclouds in front of her.
Perhaps it was the appearance of disasters. Ever since the Blue Planet was broken into seven floating continents, there had been some strange astronomical phenomena in the sky. It was a natural disaster that had never happened before.
Compared to them, floods, mudslides, and tornadoes on the ground were child's play.
Thunderstorm clouds were one of the more famous types of large-scale natural disasters.
It was also known as the "Thundercloud of Death."
It was a vortex-shaped cyclone formed from the accumulation of terrifying lightning and clouds. Not only did it possess a powerful suction force, but it was also interspersed with super lightning that could shatter large airships. The area of effect was extremely large, and it was difficult to avoid after seeing it. The suction force wasn't something ordinary kinetic energy could rival.
There was no way they could evade the attack with their small airship.
Julie could only try her best to control it so that it wouldn't be sucked into the central area too quickly.
The crisscrossing lightning outside shocked Li Xiang. Hearing that it was a thunderstorm cloud, Hei Xiang's face darkened.
The airship was shaking violently non-stop. The undulations were so great that the two couldn't even stand firm, let alone continue fighting.
They had a tacit understanding at the moment. They didn't attack each other. Facing the thunderstorm cloud, fighting among themselves would only accelerate their deaths.
"Haha, kid, I didn't think we would die together." Hei Xiang huddled in a corner, panting heavily. He growled like a wild beast. "You're not the same as those idiotic contestants."
"You're also not the same as those idiotic Blackstone prisoners," Li Xiang replied and slowly moved towards the pilot's cabin.
Hei Xiang was keenly aware of his movements, but he couldn't quite understand. Could it be that he was better at piloting the airship than his companion in the pilot's cabin? No matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't be able to escape from the thunderstorm cloud.
Li Xiang ignored Hei Xiang's gaze and directly entered the pilot's cabin. He had heard a bit about the thunderstorm cloud, but he wasn't very clear about it. Only when Julie explained it to him with a trembling voice did he realize how great of a crisis this was.
City 0123 was located at the intersection of the north and south. It was a relatively sensitive area, and high altitude control was usually coordinated by several cities. Even so, there shouldn't have been no warning for such a destructive change in weather like the thunderstorm cloud.
This was especially true for their group of special competition teams. The Sky Arena wouldn't have given them no warning at all.
The only explanation was that someone had sealed off the incoming information. No matter who it was, they must be an existence he couldn't resist.
Thinking about these things now was already useless.
Julie made it clear that she had no way to drive the airship out of the thunderstorm cloud area. That meant he had to do it himself and search for a slim chance of survival.
Hearing that Li Xiang had never piloted an airship before but wanted to replace her, Julie almost went berserk. Wouldn't that mean giving up her life here?
But she had no other choice.
It would be a slow death if things went on like this.
She gritted her teeth and finally gave up to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang recalled some of the knowledge that Wang Zhongyue had taught him and began to operate the airship clumsily. However, he soon got used to it.
All of this was undoubtedly a huge blow to Julie.
She watched as Li Xiang slowly moved from unfamiliar to familiar.
This was something that could not be faked, and there was no need to do so at this juncture.
"Absolute Mechanical Sense?" Julie exclaimed. No, it wasn't just Absolute Mechanical Sense. If it was just Absolute Mechanical Sense, he wouldn't have been able to get used to it so quickly.
He also had a super strong mechanical talent that she didn't know about, a talent that could close the huge gap in experience between them.
"We have to break away from the center of the thunderstorm cloud before it reaches it. Otherwise, we'll definitely die with our airship." Julie reminded him from the side. She had a lot of experience and could support him from the side. In terms of piloting, Li Xiang was clearly much better than her.
With many thoughts in her heart, Julie did her best to fulfill her role as the co-pilot.
High up in the sky, a tattered airship was like a small boat in the ocean, trying its best to break away from the attraction of the thunderstorm cloud.
Not far to the east.
A gigantic airship the size of an aircraft carrier was slowly moving forward in the sky. Inside the main cabin, Banco looked at a group of staff members busily operating the airship with a solemn expression. His eyes were fixed on the giant electronic map in front of him, never leaving it for a moment.
When he received the young mistress's order, he was still carrying out a mission far away. It was very likely that he would not be able to make it in time to save Li Xiang, who was trapped in the thunderstorm cloud.
He could not understand why the young mistress would give a strict order to prevent any news of the thunderstorm cloud from being transmitted to those Competitors. At the same time, she did not inform the rescue airship stationed in City 0123 to save Li Xiang but instead asked him to rush over.
If he was alive, he wanted to see him. If he was dead, he wanted to see his corpse.
This was the young mistress's order.
It was getting dark. After a while, the young mistress would go into "hibernation" again. At that time, she would not be in the state to meet anyone.
Banco looked at the electronic screen and said in a heavy voice, "Speed up."
"But, but Mr. Banco, if we speed up, we will be affected by the attraction of the thunderstorm cloud. It will be very unsafe," a female worker below said with a trembling voice.
Even this giant airship was only a slightly larger ant in the face of the thunderstorm clouds. If it were to persist for too long, the entire sky above City 0123 would become a complete mess.
Even so, Banco still ordered to speed up.
The young mistress's order was one thing, but the emotions she conveyed were another.
She did not want to see Li Xiang die without knowing the reason. After all, she was the one who gave the order to clear out Blackstone Prisoner Town from the very beginning. All the contestants were used as cannon fodder, and no one knew her true thoughts.
It was just that Banco could withstand the internal pressure from the deaths of the Competitors alone. However, if the news of the thunderstorm cloud was blocked, even he would not be able to bear it if it caused a huge loss. However, the young mistress could not appear yet!
She could only officially appear in front of the world on her eighteenth birthday.
Before that, they had to bear everything by force.
As long as they rescued Li Xiang, the blockade could be lifted immediately.
Banco looked at the approaching thunderstorm cloud and felt uneasy.
It had been so long. From the information from the front, their airship had taken off for some time. It was very likely that they had entered the range of the thunderstorm cloud. That kind of airship would probably crash in a few minutes.
He hoped that he could make it in time.
At this moment, a dazzling red dot suddenly appeared on the giant screen map.
"Zoom in." Banco ordered the worker to manipulate the map.
After the red dot kept zooming in, it revealed an airship that was on the verge of collapse outside the thunderstorm cloud. It was shaking and trembling, but it firmly clamped down on the outer ring and did not get sucked in again.
This spectacle made many workers gasp in amazement.
This kind of airship control technique was like a miracle. Moreover, from the outside, it was still slowly moving outwards. There was a very good chance that it would leave the thunderstorm cloud layer!
"This kid is indeed not ordinary." Banco was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the workers to help him.
At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared from the other side of the thunderstorm cloud layer.
It was even bigger than their airship. It was like a giant flying beast that soared in the sky.
When the true appearance of the huge shadow appeared, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Black, black flag, it's a black flag pterosaur!" a worker could not help but exclaim.
The black flag pterosaur was a very rare flying beast.
Flying beasts, deep sea creatures, and earth creatures were the three types of giant creatures that humans reared in captivity. It was very rare to see them in the wild now.
Generally speaking, these giant creatures would have the mark of a captive organization. The black flag was the captive mark of the Wessex Technology Company, and the black diamond was the official mark.
Seeing a black flag pterosaur here, Banco smelled something amiss.
