Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 35 Airship
Just after dawn, Ji Xinghuo got up.

Jiangnan Caiyi got up earlier and made breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, everyone packed their bags last night and walked out of the villa.

Chi Zhonglin walked in the front. He changed into a stretchable elastic fiber battle suit, carried a lava gun on his shoulder, and carried a huge marching bag.

This marching backpack contained the team's tents, sleeping bags, inflatable rafts for crossing the river, several bundles of nano-ropes with a total length of more than 1000 meters, 60 arrows newly bought by Ji Xinghuo, and various other materials and tools. It weighed more than [-] kilograms, almost as heavy as his spear.

As the only powerful alien in the team, the task of carrying the luggage can only be undertaken by him.

Chi Zhonglin has long been used to it.

Ji Xinghuo and Ren Mian walked in the middle of the team.

Ren Mian put on the hat again, and covered her face with a scarf. She was still wearing a women's battle skirt, with a multifunctional belt tied around her waist more than usual, with a row of checkered pockets, each containing plant samples.

Each plant witch has such a multifunctional belt, and when it comes to battle, take out plant samples from it to release abilities.

Ji Xinghuo is also fully armed.

He put on composite ceramic steel armor, Gale boots, Lei Chi hanging on his waist, and a composite hunting bow and quiver on his back. Others could tell he was a ranger at a glance.

Jiangnan Caiyi walked at the back, a few steps behind Ji Xinghuo and Ren Mian.

She is also covered with a black scarf, only her eyes are exposed, the black armor fits her whole body, and there are two knives hanging on her waist, one long and one short.

The four were speechless all the way.

Out of the villa area, take a steam bus.

Seeing their appearance, the passengers in the car knew that this was a hunting team going out of the city, so they moved away intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, the four of them got off at the airship take-off and landing field in the east of the city.

"We want to take an airship?" Ji Xinghuo asked in surprise, looking at a steam airship slowly rising above his head.

"Ah."

Ren Mian nodded slightly, "The surrounding area of ​​Olympia City has been cleaned up, and there are not many valuable prey. We have to leave the scope of human development."

Ji Xinghuo asked, "Where are you going?"

"City of Liberty." Ren Mian replied, "Go to City of Liberty first, and then go west."

Ten minutes later, the whole team boarded the airship.

The length of this passenger airship is more than 200 meters. The largest part is the huge airbag on the top of the head. The cabin hanging underneath is only more than 30 meters long. The lightest materials are used from the walls to the floor. It looks like a thin-skinned bus with hundreds of passengers in it.

"It's too unsafe."

Ji Xinghuo complained in his heart. Although the interior decoration of the airship cabin is quite luxurious, there are hidden safety hazards everywhere.

The biggest hidden danger is the airbag on the head.

Although the interior of the airbag is also designed with compartments, it will not burst open with a single hole, but such a large target is flying in the sky, and the protection is too weak. If it encounters a group of flying creatures or powerful monsters and shoots it from the ground, it may crash.

Sitting next to Ji Xinghuo, Ren Mian seemed to see his worry, and said with a smile: "Within the scope of human control, the safety of the airship is still guaranteed."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"I suggest taking the train in the future. Although it's slower, it's safer." Rin Ike in the front row turned around and said.

Ren Mian didn't listen, "I'll talk about it next time."

Ji Xinghuo vaguely guessed something, she should have a way to ensure that even if the airship falls, the whole team can land safely.

The airship lifted off quickly, and was driven westward by the steam-powered propeller.

For the first time, Ji Xinghuo overlooked the entire Olympia from a high altitude, and truly realized how big the city is. The speed of the airship was about 100 kilometers per hour, and it took a full half an hour to fly from east to west, and then crossed the city wall and left the city.

Outside Olympia is an endless forest, where two meandering rivers meet, and the rushing water of the river provides sufficient water for the city.

Several roads have been opened in the human forest, leading to other cities.

There are towering trees on both sides of the road. Trees with a height of tens of meters can be seen everywhere, and it is not uncommon for them to exceed a hundred meters, but the types of trees are different from those on the earth.

The farther you get from Olympia, the more inaccessible it becomes.

Ji Xinghuo's eyesight can clearly see scenes thousands of meters away, and he can see more things than others.

In just a few minutes, he discovered at least [-] different kinds of beasts and birds in the forest, and the ecology was much larger and more complex than that on Earth.

A rift opened in the land ahead, splitting the forest in two.

When the airship flew over, Ji Xinghuo probed into the rift but couldn't see the bottom. It was dark and misty inside, like a labyrinth.

There is an arch bridge built on the rift valley. At this time, a train just passed by the bridge, as if flying over the sky.

Ji Xinghuo muttered, "It seems that taking the train is not very safe."

The astral world is not the earth. Not only are natural disasters more frequent, but the biggest unsafe factor is the astral world creatures, whose destructive power is no less than natural disasters. It is not very difficult for them to destroy an arch bridge or train tracks.

He looked up into the distance, but he couldn't see the end of the rift valley, which was estimated to be hundreds of kilometers long.

There's no way around the train tracks.

There are six cities west of Osipia, most of which belong to the member countries of the "Western League". After more than four hours, the airship passed through the two cities and arrived at the City of Liberty, which is more than 300 kilometers away.

The City of Liberty was built in a valley with an area only one-fifth the size of Olympia.

As the most important stronghold of the Western Union in the star realm, Liberty City has a population of more than 300 million, which is definitely a big city.

The four of Ji Xinghuo disembarked from the airship, and most of the aliens who came and went around were blond and blue-eyed citizens of Ximeng.

But there are also a lot of aliens from other countries, so they don't stand out.

Except for Ji Xinghuo, the other three had been to Liberty City many times and did not stay in the city. They quickly left the city through the western city gate.

All the way west.

At the beginning, they were still walking on the avenue, but the speed of the team accelerated. By dusk, they had already left Liberty City for more than 100 kilometers.

On the way, I met many teams, all of whom were out hunting, and the teams would keep some distance from each other to avoid misunderstandings.

Hunting teams left the road at different locations and entered the boundless primeval forest.

As they got farther and farther away from the City of Liberty, the roads became narrower, the traces of civilization were decreasing, and there were no other teams around.

Starry night falls.

The whole team just took a short break to eat, and then moved on.

The day in the astral world is too long, and it is impossible to set up camp when it gets dark. The "silver glow" in the sky and the reflection of the Milky Way provide enough light to not affect the advancement of aliens during the starry night.

Of course, starry night is definitely more dangerous than daytime.

However, the reason why the aliens go out is to hunt. To some extent, they need the opportunity brought by danger to let the prey come to their door by themselves.

After walking for more than an hour in the starry night, the road split by humans has completely disappeared.

The front is the unknown area.

"spark."

Ren Mian reminded: "Next, you have to improve your concentration throughout the whole process."

"Understood." Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.

The shooter's responsibilities in the team are mainly divided into two parts. One is to provide long-range attacks in battle, and the other is to act as the "eyes" of the team to detect dangers around the team and warn teammates in advance.

In many cases, reconnaissance is more important than long-range attack.

What the team lacks in long-range attack ability can also make up for in close combat. However, if the detection ability is insufficient, they will always lose the initiative and be attacked passively. Sometimes the enemy will not know when they are approaching or even being surrounded.

A team can be without a shooter, but it cannot be without "eyes".

There are many methods of detection, usually various types of perception.

The eagle eye and elephant trunk of the stalker, the air current perception of the evil winder, the trembling sense of the ground of the earth walker, and so on.

There are also some unique means of other classes.

To be on the safe side, many teams have at least two or even three of the senses of vision, hearing, smell, and touch. Cross-detection is safer.

Ren Mian took out a transparent juice and distributed it to the team.

Ji Xinghuo imitated them and applied the juice under his nose.

Immediately, a pungent and strange smell rushed into my mind, as if it was squeezed by some kind of plant.

After a few seconds, he found his sense of smell sharpened.

The smell can be smelled tens of meters away, and the source of the smell can be roughly distinguished and whether the source is moving.

"In the past, we used the sap of this 'fly plant' to sense the location of the prey." Ren Mian introduced, "This olfactory juice has to be replenished every three hours. The smell is not good, but it is barely usable."

Chi Zhonglin said in a muffled voice, "I can't smell the smell."

Jiang Nan Caiyi also covered her nose, frowning slightly.

"It's up to you, Xinghuo." Ren Mian chuckled, "If your perception is strong enough, we won't have to apply such unpleasant things."

"We're all counting on you!" Chi Zhonglin looked expectant.

Ji Xinghuo looked at his teammates, and suddenly said: "It's really not easy to smell the flyweed juice..."

"What's wrong?" Chi Zhonglin was a little strange.

Ren Mian's expression changed.

Ji Xinghuo quickly took off the compound hunting bow, pulled out a few arrows and held them in his palm, and one arrow was already on the bowstring, aiming at the sky above the left.

"A monster is coming."

"a lot of."

"It's a large group of spiders, the number is 25, 28, 35, and it's still increasing..."

When he quickly counted to remind his teammates, Chi Zhonglin had already untied his backpack and put it aside, holding a spear in front of the team, his body swelled up and entered the fighting state.

Jiang Nan Caiyi drew out her two sabers, her figure became transparent and disappeared in an instant.

Ren Mian pressed lightly on her chest with her right hand, and her voice immediately rang in the minds of Ji Xinghuo and the others: "Xinghuo, don't make a sound, tell us any information directly through the thought link."

"it is good."

Ji Xinghuo nodded, he quickly adapted to this kind of telepathic communication, and said in his mind: "It should be a wandering spider."

He had seen information about this spider monster before, and quickly recognized it.

"understood."

Ren Mian responded immediately, and took out a sapling from his belt and threw it at his feet. The sapling, which was only as long as a finger, grew to a height of four or five meters in a few seconds. The trunk was as thick as a thigh, and the whole body was silvery white.

Ji Xinghuo was not distracted by this.

With the bright white light of "Fire Tree Silver Flower", he saw a huge spider exposed in his field of vision.It jumped out of the shadow behind a big tree, and jumped soundlessly to another tree.

Whoosh!
Ji Xinghuo's arrow shot out.
