Chapter 843: Hurrying on the Road

The streamlined fuselage of the spacecraft exudes a cold metallic luster, like a dormant giant beast.

The fuselage is covered with complex patterns, and energy can be seen flowing in it vaguely.

Teresa walked to the side of the spacecraft and gently stroked the patterns on the fuselage: "This is one of the last legacies of our tribe, named 'Fengming'."

She paused, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Unfortunately, we can no longer copy this spacecraft. Thirty years ago, the last person who knew how to make it passed away. Although he tried his best to record the knowledge in his mind in books, he only left half of the production drawings in the end. Those unfinished parts have become a mystery forever."

Teresa sighed. Now the technological system of the entire territory has become extremely deformed.

The most fatal problem is the backwardness of the storage system.

The Honghu tribe can only rely on paper and pen to record the knowledge in their minds bit by bit.

But this speed... is too slow. Many people have not been able to write down the knowledge in their minds until the end of their lives.

Those lost wisdoms, like dust blown away by the wind, can never be found again.

"However, although it cannot be copied, it can still play a huge role."

"Fengming is extremely fast, far exceeding any aircraft we have. Moreover, it is equipped with a powerful defense and attack system. With its help, the journey to the north will be greatly shortened, and it can also better deal with the dangers on the way."

After that, she walked towards the hatch of the spacecraft, and her fingers quickly entered a complex password on the password lock next to it.

Accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, the hatch slowly opened, revealing the cockpit full of technology inside.

"Come in." Teresa took the lead in entering the spacecraft, followed by Lin Yi and Daphne.

In the cockpit, various flashing indicator lights and complex operation panels dazzled people.

There was a faint metallic smell in the air. Teresa walked to the main driver's seat and sat down. Her fingers slid quickly on the operation panel to start various systems on the spacecraft.

"Fengming's fuel is not stored here." She explained while checking the system, "I will have someone deliver it later. You can wait here and get familiar with the environment."

Her eyes quickly swept across the screen, and after confirming that there was no major problem with the system, she stood up and walked towards the hatch.

"I'll be back soon." Teresa left a word, and her figure disappeared outside the hatch.

While waiting, Daphne looked around boredly, and her eyes finally fell on a button beside her.

Her fingers touched it, and a holographic projection unfolded in front of the two of them. In the projection, the structure of each part of the spacecraft was clearly visible, and the path of energy flow was intertwined like veins.

"This... is amazing." Daphne exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity and awe.

The projection screen suddenly flickered, and then switched to some blurred image fragments.

In the picture, a group of people in strange costumes were busy assembling the spacecraft.

The surroundings were filled with radiant energy crystals, and in the center of the screen, the shadow of a phoenix hovered in the air, its wings spread, shedding golden light, and slowly injecting its own power into the core of the spacecraft.

Before the two had time to study it in detail, footsteps were heard outside the spacecraft, and Teresa came in with several tribesmen carrying a huge energy tank.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, this is Fengming's fuel, a special high-energy crystal compressed liquid."

Everyone connected the energy tank to the spacecraft's fuel system, and with a slight surge, the fuel began to slowly inject.

Teresa returned to the driver's seat and checked the parameters again.

After confirming that everything was ready, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yi and Daphne, with a hint of solemnity in her tone: "Get ready to go. This journey... will not be peaceful."

As the roof opened, the spacecraft slowly took off, quickly broke through the thick clouds, and roared towards the north.

Lin Yi stood by the porthole, looking down.

The earth was rapidly receding in his sight, and the dense forest of the Wall of Living Beings and the Black River Forest were left behind in an instant.

Soon, a vast desert came into view.

This desert was very different from what you usually see. The sand grains did not show the common yellow-brown color under the sunlight, but had a strange purple-black luster.

The strong wind swept up the sand and dust, forming huge sandstorms, raging in the desert like a giant beast.

"Be careful."

Teresa's voice came from the driver's seat, her brows slightly frowned, and her eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her.

"An abnormal energy reaction was detected below, and the specific situation is unknown." The spacecraft's intelligent system suddenly issued a cold warning sound, breaking the silence in the cabin.

Teresa reacted quickly, her fingers slid quickly on the operating panel, trying to pull the spacecraft up to avoid the danger below.

At this moment——

"Boom!"

A dull impact sound came from the bottom of the spacecraft, and the entire fuselage shook violently.

Lin Yi's feet trembled and he almost lost his balance.

He looked out the porthole and saw a huge black shadow passing by in the dust below, so fast that it was difficult to catch.

Theresa's fingers slid quickly on the operation panel, her eyes fixed on the data jumping on the screen, trying to piece together the truth from the messy information.

"There are a lot of irregular energy fluctuations in the sand and dust below," she pointed at the densely flashing bright spots on the screen, with a hint of vigilance in her tone, "It looks like there are many individuals gathering. They... seem to be acting in coordination."

Her fingers quickly entered the command on the control panel of the weapon system, and then pressed the launch button.

A few dull roars came from the bottom of the spacecraft, and several energy bombs shot into the sand and dust below.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the explosion echoed in the desert, and the sand and dust were blown everywhere, forming a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

In the smoke and dust, some vague figures could be vaguely seen struggling, but they were soon submerged in the rolling sand waves.

Before the smoke and dust dissipated, more collisions followed.

The fuselage of the spacecraft shook violently, the instruments in the cabin issued a shrill alarm, and the red warning lights kept flashing, reflecting the entire cockpit in blood red.

"Teresa, try to keep the spacecraft high and stable. I'll try."

Teresa said nothing. Her fingers moved quickly on the instrument, raising the spacecraft's altitude.

The spacecraft's engine made a low roar, and the fuselage gradually stabilized.

Lin Yi lifted the limit of [Destiny Upper Limit] and cancelled the friendly marks of Teresa and Daphne to ensure that the next attack would not hurt them by mistake.

Lin Yi gently pressed his palm on the floor of the spacecraft, and felt a cold touch in his palm.

"Buzz——"

An invisible ripple spread from Lin Yi's palm, quickly swept across the bottom of the spacecraft, and spread towards the dust below.

The ripples of the healing spell did not cause any damage to the spacecraft. Like an invisible detection wave, it instantly penetrated the cover of the dust.

At the same time, the spacecraft radar, which had been unresponsive, suddenly flashed, and a large number of red dots appeared on the screen.

These red dots seemed to appear out of thin air, densely distributed around the spacecraft. The radar that was blank just now was now full of enemy traces.

Soon, the scan results appeared on the screen.

A group of creatures shaped like giant bats were lurking in the sandstorm. Their body colors blended with the desert and were almost indistinguishable with the naked eye.

These creatures have the ability to detect sound waves and can avoid the detection sound waves emitted by the spacecraft, thus hiding in the blind spot of the radar.

These bat creatures are huge, each one is four or five meters long, and their bodies are covered with sharp scales.

Their heads are very hard, and just now they hit the shield at the bottom of the spacecraft with that part, which made Lin Yi feel a slight tremor.

After being "treated" by Lin Yi with poisonous milk, the bodies of these bat creatures suddenly changed.

A large number of mutated organs grew on their body surfaces, and twisted tumors and deformed tentacles drilled out from the gaps in the scales, destroying their originally perfect camouflage and ability to move.

This sudden change made it impossible for them to evade the detection sound waves of the spacecraft flexibly, and they were eventually exposed to the radar scanning range.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Teresa's fingers slid quickly on the operation panel and quickly adjusted the weapon parameters.

On the screen, dense red dots were locked one by one, and each target was accurately marked.

"Try this!" She shouted in a low voice, and then pressed the launch button.

"Buzz!"

High-energy laser beams were ejected from the weapon systems on both sides of the spacecraft, like dense light rain, pouring towards the locked giant bats.

The laser beam cut through the air and instantly hit the scales on the bats.

The moment the laser came into contact with the scales, a dazzling light burst out.

The high temperature instantly melted the scales, making a "sizzling" sound, and a pungent burnt smell filled the air.

Some bat monsters that were too close to the spacecraft were directly roasted into charcoal by the laser, and their bodies fell from the air and hit the desert, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Some bats were not seriously injured. They used the cover of the sandstorm to avoid the laser attack.

The visibility in the sandstorm was extremely low, and the laser beam was greatly weakened when passing through the sand. Unless the distance was very close, it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the enemy.

"Troublesome weather." Teresa cursed in a low voice, with a flash of annoyance in her eyes.

Her fingers slid quickly on the operation panel and quickly changed the weapon system.

The next second, several energy bombs flew out of the launcher of the spacecraft and headed straight for the bat group.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions sounded in the sandstorm, and the fire and energy intertwined, instantly exploding in the bat group.

Several larger bats were directly hit, and their huge bodies were torn into pieces in the explosion. Black blood and minced meat splattered everywhere, dyeing the surrounding sand and dust red.

But more bats below continued to pounce on the spacecraft with the cover of the sandstorm.

"These guys are quite troublesome!" There was a hint of annoyance in Teresa's voice. She held the joystick with her right hand and quickly adjusted the flight trajectory of the spacecraft to avoid the crazy impact of the bats.

"Teresa, does the spacecraft have any weapons that can create a large-scale impact to shake these bats away or keep a distance."

Teresa quickly searched for relevant weapons while controlling the spacecraft to dodge.

Her eyes quickly swept across the screen and finally locked on an option.

"Yes, an energy shock wave generator! But using this weapon requires a short period of charging, and there is a cooling time after each use."

"I can't care about so much, let's get rid of these things first."

Teresa didn't hesitate and quickly started the energy shock wave generator.

A dazzling white light began to gather at the bottom of the spacecraft, and the light kept flickering and jumping, and the energy surged wildly in it, like a giant beast about to wake up.

"Ready, three, two, one!" Teresa's voice echoed in the cabin, and her fingers pressed the start button heavily.

"Buzz--!"

A huge energy wave swept out from the bottom of the spacecraft, like an invisible huge wave, sweeping through the surrounding space with a devastating force.

The bats that rushed over frantically were instantly hit by this powerful force.

The bodies of the bats rolled and flew backwards uncontrollably in the air.

For a moment, the sand and dust were stirred up even more violently, and the sharp cries of the bats seemed particularly miserable under the impact of the energy wave.

"Success!" Daphne shouted excitedly.

"Don't be careless, take this opportunity to distance yourself." Lin Yi didn't have the habit of opening champagne at halftime. Although these bat monsters were not strong, Lin Yi could only rely on this spaceship if he wanted to rush to the north of the continent.

Teresa quickly pushed the acceleration lever of the spaceship, and the engine of the "Fengming" made a low roar, and the fuselage was like a silver lightning, rushing away in the sandstorm.

The sand and dust were rolled up by the airflow of the spaceship, forming a long tail, like a silver dragon shuttling through the desert.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, dense red dots appeared on the radar screen again.

The bat monsters that were repelled by the energy shock wave seemed to be completely enraged. They chased the "Fengming" frantically and bit the tail of the spaceship tightly.

"These guys are crazy!" Teresa couldn't help but curse, her fingers tightly gripped the control stick, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

The speed of the spacecraft has reached its limit, but the speed of those bat monsters is not inferior at all, and they are even gradually closing the distance.

"It seems that they are determined to stop us." Lin Yi stared at the radar screen and quickly thought about the countermeasures, "Teresa, how long will it take for the energy shock wave generator to cool down?"

Teresa checked the system data, "It will take another two minutes, which is already the fastest cooling speed."

"Enough, leave the rest to me."

After confirming that the time was shorter than he expected, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

The dense black lightning quickly covered the surface of the spacecraft like a living thing.

As soon as the bats approached the spacecraft, they were instantly entangled by the dark surge of lightning.

The black lightning quickly penetrated the bats' bodies, madly absorbing their physical strength and vitality.

"Hiss--!"

The entangled bats screamed miserably, their wings flapped weakly, struggling to break free.

Bats fell from the sky one after another. Their bodies shrank rapidly under the erosion of the dark surge thunder, and finally turned into dry shells, smashing into the desert and stirring up a cloud of dust.

As more and more bats approached, Lin Yi's consumption of maintaining the dark surge thunder became more and more huge.

The black lightning was like an invisible giant net, constantly devouring the approaching bats.

The death of each bat meant that Lin Yi's physical and mental strength were further consumed.

Although the Star Meditation Method continued to replenish Lin Yi's abyss power, the loss of physical and mental strength made him feel exhausted.

Lin Yi was fully immersed in the state of meditation, and fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Daphne looked at Lin Yi worriedly. Obviously, she also sensed the instability of Lin Yi's breath.

The bats outside the spaceship seemed to have noticed something was wrong. They no longer attacked blindly, but began to organize and outflank from different directions.

Some larger bats even used their bodies as cover to block other bats in front of them, trying to create opportunities for their companions to get close to the spacecraft.

"These guys... actually started to have tactics!" There was a hint of shock in Teresa's voice. Her fingers slid quickly on the operating panel, trying to adjust the flight trajectory of the spacecraft to avoid the encirclement of the bats.

"Mr. Lin, hold on a little longer, the energy shock wave generator will be cooled down soon."

Lin Yi's forehead was covered with more and more cold sweat, and the accelerated consumption of physical strength made his breathing heavier.

After more than ten seconds, Teresa shouted excitedly: "Mr. Lin, the energy shock wave generator has been cooled down!"

Teresa pressed the button, and a dazzling energy shock wave spread out with the spacecraft as the center.

The powerful energy instantly shook the surrounding bats away, and the bats that had organized the attack were now shaken to pieces.

"Success!" There was a hint of relief in Teresa's voice. With the help of this attack, the "Fengming" finally got rid of the monster group behind.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stand up from the ground, but his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

Luckily, Daphne was quick to help Lin Yi hold up and prevent him from falling.

"Mr. Lin, are you okay?" Daphne looked worried and carefully helped Lin Yi sit on a chair beside her.

"It's okay, I just used up a bit of mental energy." Lin Yi closed his eyes and pressed his nose with his fingers, trying to relieve the headache that felt like he was hit by countless heavy hammers.

It must be said that Lin Yi rarely had this feeling of pushing himself to the limit.

But correspondingly, after this consumption and recovery, Lin Yi became more adept at controlling the dark surge thunder.

"Is there any unusual movement on the ancient god's side?" Lin Yi asked Daphne with his eyes closed.

"No, the position of the mark has not changed, but I can feel that the power transmitted from the mark has weakened. I am afraid that the mark will be erased by the other party in a while." Daphne's voice was a little low.

"Here, this can relieve your symptoms, Mr. Lin." Teresa took out a bottle of potion from her pocket and threw it to Daphne, who twisted the bottle cap and handed it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took the potion and found that this thing was actually a bottle of gold-level recovery potion in the appraisal of the Reincarnation Paradise.

It can not only greatly restore mana, but also relieve the side effects caused by mental overdraft.

This level of mana recovery potion is extremely precious even in the Reincarnation Paradise.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Lin Yi suddenly felt a warm force spreading in his body.

His originally exhausted body was instantly refreshed, and the tingling sensation in his brain caused by mental overdraft gradually eased under the effect of this force, and his whole condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After getting rid of the entanglement of the group of bat monsters, Teresa quickly adjusted the flight altitude of the spacecraft.

She raised the altitude of the spacecraft a lot. Although this would increase fuel consumption, there was no way to worry about whether it was wasted in the current situation. (End of this chapter)
