Chapter 346 Target Mach 20

Chapter 346 Target - Mach 20

Just after arriving in the outside world, the three Carls could not intuitively feel the force that hindered the progress of the spacecraft.

But as they continued flying forward, the surrounding space suddenly became directional, as if a force of gravity suddenly acted on their bodies.

If nothing unexpected happens, the direction of gravity should be the location of the eternal furnace, and the further forward, the stronger this force becomes.

"Sure enough, this matter is more difficult to solve than we first thought. According to the intensity of this force, we may need to accelerate to at least Mach 20 before we can rush out."

After trying twice, Karl allowed the force to pull him back to a certain limit, and expressed his feelings to Hope and Mitrice.

The two birds made crisp calls. Although Karl did not understand the language of the beasts, he used his spiritual power to immediately understand what they wanted to express.

"Not yet. When I first built the spaceship, I never considered letting it reach Mach 20 in such an environment. Mach 20... Ultraman can't reach this speed in the atmosphere!"

After saying the first half of the sentence, Karl complained in his mind about his estimated escape speed.

In a world with magic, there must be many more people studying space shuttle technology than studying how spaceships and missiles accelerate.

After all, the former is too convenient, and although the latter has the beauty of strength, it is not among the subjects of most mages.

Seeing the silence, the bird transformed by Hope landed on Karl's shoulder, tilted his head and called twice, as if asking Karl: "What should we do?"

"Let's go back to the spacecraft first. If it doesn't work, just abandon the spacecraft itself. There is still hope that the shuttle can reach this speed."

After comforting Hope, Carl returned to the shuttle with the two birds.

"Did you find anything?"

As soon as they settled down, Nia asked eagerly.

Although everyone seems to have accepted the possibility of living here for a lifetime, if they could return to the main plane, who would really be willing to do that?

Before Karl could explain, Hope and Mitrice, who had returned to their original forms, had re-paraphrased what Karl had just said.

After hearing this, Nia fell silent.

For the vast majority of mages, this is not good news.

"I will try to use my knowledge to help you improve the aircraft engine. Although the Transformation School focuses on alchemy, it also has transfiguration and other development directions."

After clenching her little fist, Nia looked at Karl firmly.

This look made Karl feel guilty for a while, because he himself was not sure that he could transform the spacecraft to this extent.

"Let's try to transform it first, but don't hold too much hope for the time being. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

After inoculating everyone in advance, Karl controlled the shuttle and flew back to the main body of the spacecraft.

Afterwards, Carl and Nia went into retreat to study, while the rest began to work hard to practice their skills to prevent their strength from deteriorating.

…

On a deserted floating island, Tina woke up from her dream and looked around with a blank face, her mind a little confused.

She felt as if she was dreaming about the sun in her dream, but there was no sun in the air elemental plane.

"It is difficult for a person to dream of something beyond his or her cognition. This dream must be unusual!"

Suddenly, Tina seemed to think of something, quickly got up and started rummaging in her adventure backpack.

This backpack is sewn from three dimensional bags. The opening in the middle is large and the openings on both sides are small. It can hold many more items than ordinary dimensional bags.

Soon, Tina found the giant note in the backpack, and then dragged the note out of the largest opening of the backpack with some difficulty.

She quickly found her current translation progress, took out her translation notes, and compared the two sides.

"The sun in the dream, guidance? Could it be that the giant notebook left by the ancestors contains clues to a certain treasure?"

Thinking of this possibility, Tina's eyes almost burst out with light at this moment.

The Giant's Treasure is a relatively famous treasure legend among the planes, and Tina, who is wandering aimlessly, just needs a clear goal.

After soaking in the sudden joy for a moment, Tina took out some things from her backpack and began to assemble them.

"I remember that in the dream, the sun seemed to be over here...and then..."

Placing a strange compass-like object on the ground, Tina turned it back and forth, as if measuring something.

However, after a long time, Tina could not figure out the reason.

"Ugh~, if I had a good instructor, I would definitely not be like this! Forget it, just fly over there!"

Frustrated, Tina put away the compass, shouldered her backpack, and got back on her glider.

After finding a rough object as a reference, she started the glider and flew into the blue sky again.

The cool wind once again blew her pale golden hair, but at this time, Tina already had her own direction.

Amidst the roar of the glider's engine, Tina crashed straight into a cloud of mist, and then flew out of it.

In this way, Tina happily embarked on her first treasure hunting trip, and this flight lasted only a week.

…a week later…

It turns out that treasure hunting is not a thrilling journey from beginning to end.

Especially in a vast and sparsely populated place like the Air Elemental Plane.

For a week, Tina broke into the monster's lair and was chased by hippogriffs and demon bats.

However, until now, she has not found a clue that can clearly indicate that there may be giant ruins in the direction she is heading.

If she hadn't occasionally seen a round of sun in her dreams, Tina would have given up her original idea long ago.

But even so, she had serious doubts about her initial decision.

On this day, she was driving a glider as bored as usual, preparing to continue to move towards the position of the sun she dreamed of last night.

Long-term driving has made her no longer feel fresh about flying a plane, but her flying skills have become more and more proficient, and she can even make quite fancy evasive moves in the air.

"Ha~ Yawn~, is this really the right thing to do? I'm not going to spend my whole life trying to find a giant treasure that doesn't actually exist? Should I turn back now? Maybe life on the floating island is not as boring as I imagined at the beginning..."

Looking at the sky in front of her, Tina muttered to herself, and her mental state seemed a little worrying.

But just as Tina slightly turned the joystick and tried to turn, a shrill cry came from far away in the sky.

Before Tina could react, a figure mixed with white and brown had quickly come to the side of her glider and pecked through the right wing of the glider with its sharp beak.

It was a griffin, a griffin trying to hunt.
