Chapter 1066: Magic Cloud, Safuri’s Visit
Even though Xiao Heizi has been promoted to the old dragon level.
Possessing legendary level combat power.
However, the flying speed is still not comparable to that of Yingjiang equipped with [Magic Jet Breeding Equipment].
Moreover, Yingjiang has not been idle during this period, and its strength has been improving slightly.
The overall performance is quite stable.
Now it has changed from the overlord-level dragon-born leader monster to a powerful raptor monster with comprehensive strength that has reached the beginning of the epic level.
When the airflow is stable and the weather is good, the maximum flight speed of Yingjiang can reach 630 kilometers to 650 kilometers per hour when carrying a single person and a colony.
After turning on the breeding equipment, the speed can be further increased, reaching an astonishing speed of about 700 kilometers per hour.
This flying speed is already close to the flying speed of jet airliners on the earth.
Therefore, a trip of more than 300 kilometers, even including the time for takeoff and landing, only takes about half an hour at most.
Yingjiang keeps flying at an altitude between 4,000 meters and 4,200 meters.
Below are slowly moving clouds.
They are also the best curtains, which can effectively cover the traces of Ying Jiang and Zong Shen.
From the ground to the air, there is a distance of several kilometers. Even a body as huge as Yingjiang is only as big as a sesame dot on the ground.
Coupled with the cover of clouds and night, the likelihood of discovery is low.
And most insight-type buildings cannot extend the detection effect to thousands of meters in the air.
For example, the effect of the fifth-level Eye of True Sight in Zong Shen's territory can only be targeted at places eight or nine hundred meters above the ground.
So the trip is relatively safe, but certainly boring.
Yingjiang sometimes closes its wings to make a streamlined posture, and sometimes vibrates its wings to provide lift to adjust the posture.
The [Magic Jet Breeding Equipment] at the back activates for twelve seconds every thirty seconds.
This is the suggestion made by goblin engineer Ironhand Barenque after his review.
It can not only save mana to maintain stability, but also prevent a large loss of speed gain.
After getting permission, Tiezi also modified the colonial clothing to a certain extent.
The dozen seconds after the jet maneuver ended were enough for Yingjiang to continue gliding for a certain distance.
This not only saves the time for continuous flight while increasing physical strength, but also prolongs the interval between replenishing mana for the equipment.
All in all, they are all aimed at increasing range and flight efficiency.
The blue wind spirit elemental magic shield blocked the turbulent airflow.
Zong Shen sat peacefully on the back of Yingjiang's neck, looking at the earth in the distance, watching the flames of the territory flashing quickly like fireflies below.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the Endless Continent was a fertile soil.
Lords are spores that appear suddenly and come everywhere to absorb nutrients.
When Zong Shen looked at the territory spread out below, he always had the illusion of being devastated.
The golden mark in front of him accurately guided him.
When the distance indicated that there were less than three kilometers left, he patted Yingjiang decisively.
"We're almost there, Eagle Sauce, prepare to slow down."
"Bah!"
As usual, there was a loud cry in response, the breeding system was shut down, and the eagle's body leaned backward, increasing wind resistance and reducing its flight speed.
It wasn't until after flying another kilometer or so that the speed completely dropped.
"The distance is still 1.72 kilometers, and the altitude is 2821 meters above the ground..."
"Ying-chan, you still have to lower your height!"
Zong Shen issued the order again.
The clever Yingjiang slowly lowered his height, while Zong Shen made corrections by referring to the data on the golden mark.
It's amazing how precise flight can be achieved despite the lack of precision instruments.
At the same altitude above the ground, he soon discovered the floating magic cloud.
Because this thing is really eye-catching from the air.
And at this moment, thunder was still flashing in the clouds, and it was raining lightly.
There is a large puddle on the ground below.
The rainfall range of this cloud is not large, and the boundary is quite clear.
The total area covered by the clouds is hundreds of thousands square meters.
It is equivalent to a square area of 300 meters x 500 meters.
Of course, this metaphor is inappropriate because the shape of clouds is irregular.
But the coverage area is probably an area of hundreds of thousands square meters.
It was also the first time for Zong Shen to see such a magical object in its natural state.
And the carrier is actually a common cloud in nature.
People have to marvel at the magic of the magical world.
Out of curiosity, he asked Yingjiang to quickly approach and prepare for observation.
The rainfall in the clouds is heavy, equivalent to moderate rain.
The puddle below is like a small lake, with ripples rippling under the impact of raindrops.
After observing for a while, Zong Shen was about to launch the strategy module to check.
The thunder suddenly disappeared, and the cumulonimbus clouds that were originally blue-grey suddenly turned into white clouds as white as cotton.
Zong Shen tried to absorb Yun Duo's storage compartment, but unexpectedly failed.
Obviously, there is something mysterious about this magic cloud, and it does not fall into the category of conventional strange objects.
Since it couldn't be collected, Zong Shen changed his mind.
He squinted his eyes, stared at the clouds, and first tried to check the information of the lord system.
The result was nothing. The cloud was not semi-digitized at all.
Naturally, it is not within the system standards of the lord system.
Zong Shen is not sure whether this is a loophole in the lord system, but at the very least it is a shortcoming.
Then he used his mind to summon the strategy module.
This time there are some information notes.
(A magical object born in nature, it will be in the state of white clouds for 12 to 14 hours a day, and the remaining time will turn into cumulonimbus clouds to rain down below the floating place.
Affected by the unknown mutation, this magic cloud has become a light entity, no longer just a condensation of water vapor and particles floating and sinking)
…
"oh…"
"The magic clouds that rain water regularly every day can indeed be used as a flexible water source."
After confirming that this strange cloud was indeed useful, Zong Shen did not waste any more time. Considering that this thing could not be put into the storage compartment, he chose the simplest and most crude method, which was to bundle it away!
He had no shortage of hemp ropes in his hands, and spent some time connecting them end to end, making five extra-long hemp ropes with a length of three to four hundred meters.
Then it is tied around the magic cloud that has a light body and a texture like thick cotton.
After several large knots, he twisted two extra-long hemp ropes into a single thread, so that one end was tied to Yun Duo and the other end was wrapped around Ying Jiang's hind limbs.
This thing has no weight and can float on its own. Yingjiang can drag it away easily.
In order to prevent any accidents, Zong Shen decided to return the magic cloud to his territory first, and then rush to the next clue to the water source item.
Anyway, Yingjiang's speed is fast enough, and it won't be less than half an hour anyway.
So Ying Jiang carried Zong Shen on his back and pulled Da Baiyun to fly at full speed.
It looks like a small flying insect holding a ball of marshmallows.
…
Just when Zong Shen was on his way back.
The radius of the territory has reached dozens of kilometers away. A hooded figure, riding a tall and burly hybrid horse, stared at the looming towers and newly opened stone roads in the distance, dumbfounded.
Zongshen's territory is changing every day, and the scale of construction is even comparable to that of Bangcheng.
It's just that the construction is not perfect yet.
But this level of territory is far beyond what a village can compare with.
Under the shadow of the moon, the huge camp lay on the ground like a black shadow.
Even from a distance you can still see clues.
"this…"
"Is this still the small settlement it was before?"
"Zong Shen...what exactly did he do?"
The person who came was none other than Safuri, the raven saint whom I had not seen for a long time.
(can be traced back to chapter 1034)
She was riding a mixed stallion, ready to meet Zong Shen and end her original saving grace before the church made a desperate move and completely broke up with the second prince.
After trekking for nearly two days, she finally arrived here late in the morning.
However, in just over a month, this place has already become a different place.
The small settlement in my memory disappeared, replaced by the prototype of a huge town in front of me.
The half-bred horse was panting and pacing, nibbling at weeds on the ground.
Safuri grabbed a large handful of soybeans from her pocket and let the horse stick out its big tongue to lick them.
In this way, after walking slowly for more than ten minutes, she finally arrived at the edge of the territory.
As soon as I got close, I felt a sense of crisis.
The defense matrix located in this direction has already been aimed at her, and will attack as soon as she steps into the territory.
The wolf cavalry squadron patrolling nearby rushed over holding high a magic chandelier made of white crystal stone.
Several third-level [Magic Patrol Dogs] made "ding-ring-bell" warning sounds.
The territory's defense response mechanism has become extremely mature.
The defense matrix arranged in each area can be controlled by the city's central control function.
Intruders are detected almost as soon as they approach.
Sally stopped the horse decisively.
Facing the wolf cavalry that surrounded her, she slowly took off her hood.
"Tell your Lord Zong Shen that an old friend of his came to visit him."
After all, she is a church saint who has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small.
Safuri was not panicked at all, and her words also attracted the attention of the Wolf Cavalry.
The leader of the wolf cavalry squadron looked at her, then raised his right hand to signal everyone to stay alert.
After he was ready, he replied in a tough tone.
"Please wait here."
"I will report to my immediate superior."
After saying that, he took out the communication crystal from his arms and reported it step by step.
This batch of crystals were all extracted and distributed after the [Crystal Communication Tower] advanced.
After all, there is a distance of dozens of kilometers from the boundary of the territory to the central area, and it would take more than half an hour for the Wolf Cavalry to run at full speed, which is equivalent to the distance from a suburban town to the city center of a second-tier prefecture-level city on Earth.
Under such circumstances, it is more convenient to distribute communication crystals for emergency communication.
Safuri said nothing and waited quietly.
Now that we're all here, the rest of the night won't be long.
…
On the other side, when Zong Shen returned to his territory, he already knew that Safuli came to visit alone.
The territory had already sent Colby to receive him.
With Colby, a legendary powerhouse, personally following her, Safori wouldn't be able to cause trouble.
In fact, Sally was really surprised that she could sense Colby's strength.
This is definitely a giant city level powerhouse!
And if she doesn't unleash her god-given side, she's equivalent to epic-level combat power.
Therefore, he had to improve his assessment of Zong Shen's territory again in his mind.
After returning to the territory, Zong Shen tied the magic white cloud to the edge of the lord's fortress and rushed to the scene on Eagle Sauce. On the way, he met Colby who was leading the way and Safuri who was following behind.
"Hi!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Yingjiang landed smoothly, and Zong Shen jumped directly.
Safuri also got off the hybrid horse, and the two stood there looking at each other.
In the end, it was Zong Shen who reached out and said hello first to break the somewhat awkward situation.
"Yeah, long time no see."
Safuri's expression was very strange, with a hint of joy at being freed from her long-cherished wish, but also a sense of disbelief.
"You've become stronger."
"Very strong, very strong..."
"It's only been more than a month, or were you hiding your strength before?"
Safuli walked slowly towards Zong Shen and looked at him face to face.
Hearing her exclamation, Mr. Zong readily admitted.
He showed a hearty smile.
"I became stronger."
"Now, I can overthrow Kunir and his crusade by myself."
There is no need to hide her clumsiness with Safuri, not to mention that she obviously has the ability to sense.
"I believe you, your strength is already comparable to a legend."
She nodded, stretched out her raised hand and gently pulled one of Zong Shen's arms.
Then he leaned forward somewhat affectionately.
The two soft balls rubbed against his arms, making Zong Shen's skin itch.
After getting over the initial surprise, her beautiful eyes returned to flowing, and she didn't know what she remembered.
"Do you want to talk to me here?"
"I still remember your warm and comfortable little building."
"Buy me a drink."
Her tone was frivolous at first, and then suddenly became serious.
"I have important information to tell you."
"About the church, about the giant city of Lentax, about the second prince..."
Safuli changed her mind and was amazed by Zong Shen's change in strength.
The strength of the legendary level is also called the giant city level combat power.
Such a strong man would be considered an elder in any giant city.
Moreover, the aura of power on Zong Shen was far more complex and powerful than that on Colby.
(The earliest Safuri chapter mentioned her sensing ability)
This kind of strength is enough to get involved in future situations.
Maybe Zong Shen is her hope to get rid of her shackles!
Looking at Safuri, who was sometimes coquettish and sometimes solemn, Mr. Zong shrugged his shoulders.
"Colby, please help Miss Sally lead the horse."
After saying that, he pulled Safuri onto the Eagle Sauce.
Accompanied by a loud chirp, Yingjiang flapped its wings and took off, carrying Sha Fuli and Zong Shen to the Lord's Fortress.
Safuli sat behind Zong Shen, looking at the strong back in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out her hand, hugged Zong Shen's waist, and then pressed her body against him.
She felt a long-lost sense of security, an indescribable sense of security!
