Chapter 898: The Search for the Unknown
On the fourth day after the cruise meeting, Noche successfully entered the Jibei Road intersection under the coordination and arrangement of Mr. Chi, and there were no twists and turns throughout the journey.
He had already prepared some countermeasures. If that didn't work, he would just force his way in. If there were no fighters on the scene, it would not be difficult for him to get through with his own abilities, and then he could find a way to leave.
Of course this is the worst option.
Dashun was not one of the small countries with chaotic political situations that he had encountered before. It was a world power that could mobilize a large number of powerful combat forces in a short period of time. This move was very dangerous. Even if he could finally get out of it, the forces supporting him behind the scenes might abandon him under pressure, so it was best not to do this.
As for giving up the mission and retreating directly, he never thought about it.
Most of the resources he enjoys are provided by the forces behind him. His family is still in the hands of these forces. He can keep them safe by forcibly carrying out the mission. If he voluntarily retreats, his family may be implicated.
Now he is following the map provided by Mr. Chi, bypassing the garrison's sphere of influence and heading from the uninhabited area in the wilderness to a location marked on the map.
There will be an airship departing from Deep Valley City to pick him up, and the other two fighters will also meet him there and go to the target area together.
The area that ordinary people could hardly move in was naturally not difficult for him. Only two days later, he arrived at the designated area as agreed. After waiting for less than half an hour, an airship appeared in sight. It was very punctual, which made him satisfied with Mr. Chi's arrangement.
In the past, when he was on missions in the Sanmawoga Continent and the Chirogado Confederation, what he hated most was that the people there had no sense of punctuality, which caused great trouble to his actions.
Fortunately, that was not the case this time.
After the airship reached the top, he pulled the climbing ladder dropped from above, moving his body up quickly, and finally stood firmly on the deck.
He refused the crew's offer to help him put his suitcase away, and followed the waiter to the cabin on the upper deck with his suitcase in his hands.
The two fighters had arrived first. One of them was a burly middle-aged man with a book on the table in front of him. With his professionalism, he immediately recognized from the fancy cover and cursive font that it was a collection of prose poems. He knew that this man was from the Fusion Faction and that the code name for this operation was "Moon Rhino".
The other was a tall, thin, middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, with some Western Continental ancestry. Codenamed "Tuner," he came from the Jingxiu Sect. He knew this man had close ties to the current employer, Yuanren Company. He was not only involved in the elimination of the target, but also likely overseeing them.
And this fighter, who was also cultivating into the divine form like him, so he paid extra attention to him.
The tuner seemed to notice his attention and turned his sunglasses-covered face towards him. He said, "Mr. Noche, the airship needs to bypass some checkpoints to get there, and it may take at least five days to travel. If you need anything, please speak to the crew on board. Lianwei Zhongyu sent two active consciousnesses and they are inside the cabin. You can choose one of them first."
Noche nodded to express his gratitude. He acted very indifferent when facing Mr. Chi, but he was still relatively polite when facing fellow fighters, not to mention that they would be teammates later, so it was necessary to establish a good relationship first.
At this moment, the two people were sitting far apart, and he did not move closer, but sat down at a suitable distance. There was a circle of soft chairs against the wall. After speaking to the service staff on the boat, the field screen in front of him lit up, and soon began to play cartoons on it.
The middle-aged strong man took a look and saw that all they saw were anthropomorphic animals running around, either wolves and sheep or cats and mice. There was some contempt in his eyes. He coughed, opened the poetry collection on the table, and read the elegant and charming poems on it with intoxicated eyes.
This time the journey was longer than expected, because the garrison at the intersection of Jibei Road expanded very quickly. Perhaps in order to guard against the elite teams of the old imperial family, watchtowers were erected in many remote places.
These watchtowers had a long observation range, forcing their observers to take a detour after seeing it in advance, causing them to be delayed two days beyond their expected plan, and they only approached the unknown area in the evening of the seventh day.
The observer on the airship used a telescope to see the garrison fortress stationed there, confirmed that there were people stationed there at the moment, and reported the situation.
These people posed basically no threat to the people on the boat, and because of the distance, there was no telegraph to transmit the message directly to the rear, so the airship flew directly over the fortress, killed all the serious criminals who came out to receive supplies, and successfully captured the place.
Noche and his companions rested here for one night, made some additions to the previously planned tactics, and then set out the next day to find the target of this mission.
Although it is difficult to find a person in a dense forest, their target this time is a fighter, and there will be some traces left after passing through certain places.
Moreover, this time they also received support from Yuanren Company and brought a more special item that could help them track the target more smoothly.
Just as the three of them arrived, at a station somewhere in Fengde District, Central City, Mr. Zhuan walked into the underground passage of the interchange carrying his suitcase.
While waiting for the train to arrive, the masked figure spoke up, "It's not certain that Zhao Zhenye will move. However, after so much time has passed, if he succeeds in mastering the secret technique he wanted to cultivate, we may not be able to defeat him."
Mr. Zhuan said, "It couldn't have happened that quickly. Thinking back, I think he was probably refining some of the secret teachings and adding his own influence to them. Although he had great talent and aptitude, it wasn't easy for him to change the secret teachings that were so carefully honed by his ancestors."
The mask said, "I hope so. I'm not worried about Officer Chen, but I'm afraid something might go wrong here. I said I'd come in person, but you didn't want to."
Mr. Zhuan turned his head and looked deeper into the tracks. "Here comes the train."
The mask said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
As the whistle sounded, a train pulled into the station. Mr. Zhuan got on. Not long after, the train restarted and drove towards the intersection with the rhythmic friction sound of the wheels.
The boundary of the blending area is unclear, on the edge of the sea.
Chen Chuan stayed here for more than half a month. He made rapid progress in the Great Bright Light Style and the Great Blue Sky Style. He had already completed ten styles of each. With only the last two styles left, he would be able to complete the twelve styles.
But the further he got, the more he felt the consumption each time he activated it. If he only focused on practicing one of the techniques, with only one part of the alienated organization being more prominent, and the alienated organizations in other areas being only auxiliary, then the consumption would not actually be particularly large.
But every part of his alienated tissue has been trained, so whenever they move together, the power will be increased accordingly, and the consumption will also increase accordingly.
But as long as there is sufficient nutrition and energy, these are not a problem. Now there is a large hunting ground under his feet that has not been opened for at least hundreds of years, which can fully support his practice and consumption.
In fact, even if he didn't go anywhere, just staying here was enough. In the past half month, he would encounter prey coming from upstream every day. He didn't need to go hunting everywhere, he just needed to practice with peace of mind.
It was an extremely pleasant thing for him to enjoy sufficient nutrition and delicious food, and feel himself becoming stronger little by little.
It was just noon at this time. He looked into the distance and saw a large group of large fish swimming rapidly in the river flowing into the sea, with only their dorsal fins leaving long marks on the water surface.
At this moment, with a loud bang, dozens of huge crab-like creatures emerged from the bottom of the river. Their exaggerated claws clamped the fish, tore them open and stuffed them into their claws.
Chen Chuan showed an interested look. If he was not mistaken, this should be the "stone crab". It had been hiding silently under the bay for the past few days, and even he had not noticed it. Of course, it was because these things posed no threat to him.
This stone crab has some special alienated tissues on its body, which can make the muscle alienated tissues stronger and improve its ability to withstand certain blows.
Although he has the strength from horizontal training to rely on, he would not refuse to increase his ability to withstand blows, even if the improvement is only a little bit. However, progress is made through accumulation of little bits and pieces. Sometimes, a little more margin means a little more chance of winning.
As soon as he released his spiritual power, more than half of the dozen crabs that were enjoying the feast fell down. The rest, feeling something was wrong, also dived into the water and slipped away.
Chen Chuan did not intend to wipe them all out. As long as he had enough for his own use, a light flashed in his eyes, and the prismatic stone hanging beside him flew out.
This thing can be very fast when driven by enough mental power, but it requires a build-up of strength beforehand, so it is unlikely that such an opportunity will be found in a fast-paced battle.
But it doesn't matter. He feels that this thing still has potential for development and he can take it slowly.
At this moment, after the prismatic stone flew out, the shells of the big stone crabs were neatly separated and split into several sections. As he approached, groups of transparent gelatinous substances instantly rose from the water surface and floated towards him. While still in mid-air, they dispersed into a mist state and merged into his body.
It would actually be better to apply this thing directly on the body, but he finds it troublesome. Now there are enough of these things, and the effect is most obvious the first time it is used. It will not have much effect if used later, so he doesn't need to care too much about it.
After absorbing all of this, he did not waste the remaining ingredients. He went up to collect some snow-white crab meat, cooked it, and had a delicious meal with Chao Ming.
However, while enjoying the delicious food, he once again noticed the gaze looking at him. His eyes flashed, and at this moment, the prismatic stone hovering beside him suddenly flew towards that direction!
