Chapter 185 Great Rift Valley
No one else had any objection to Ning Xuan's arrangement.
On the second day, at the invitation of Fang Gan, two female spirit controllers, Ning Xuan and Tang Xue, provided basic mental power guidance for the soldiers at the No. 7 supply point who had abnormal mental power and alienation values.
Tang Xue's innate skill is the light of purification. Although her mental power level is only A-level, her efficiency in purifying alienation values is very high. Ning Xuan's mental power level is S-level. She released her mental power to guide the mental power of the soldiers who were mentally agitated. It only took half a day to complete the task. In exchange, Ning Xuan and Tang Xue both received special merit points reported by the supply point. When a certain number of points are accumulated, there will be special rewards.
On the third day, Ning Xuan and her group were about to leave. Fang Gan was reluctant to let them go. He had been trying to make friends with Lin Mo in the past few days, trying to get Lin Mo to stay here for a while longer. Unfortunately, as the youngest lieutenant general-level officer in the federation, he did not seem to be very favored in front of Miss Ning and did not seem to have any say.
However, Fang Gan is very busy now. He has already sent people to dig up all the wolf corpses. More than 50 wolves can produce a lot of meat. He plans to jump over the area originally occupied by the wolves and open up new resource points according to the map provided by Ning Xuan.
Hearing that Ning Xuan wanted to go east, Fang Gan took out a map and pointed to the place in the east, "Miss Ning, you can go in other directions, but to the east, there is a very wide canyon. This canyon is bottomless, and the cliffs on both sides are high and steep. There are dangerous beasts at the bottom of this canyon. Every night, there will be thick fog. I once sent people to investigate the situation, but lost three teams and finally had to give up. If you go east, you will definitely not be able to get through."
Ning Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and found that the place Fang Gan pointed out was exactly on the route she had planned to take. "Commander Fang, thank you for your reminder. Let's go over there and take a look. If we really can't get through, we can take a detour." Ning Xuan said casually.
After leaving supply point No. 7, Ning Xuan and her group rode the mechanical vehicle assembled by Wang Yue and headed east as planned. On the way, Ning Xuan told everyone about the Grand Canyon and asked everyone to think about ways to cross the canyon.
"Xiaowu's innate skill is to flash within a ten-kilometer range. As long as someone crosses the canyon first, Xiaowu can use flash to send them over. He can carry up to three people at a time. Now he can only send three times a day, so by this calculation, he can only send up to six people."
"Master, I can take you to fly over." Di Youlin said to Ning Xuan. Di Youlin has wings, but only Ning Xuan can sit on his back.
"I brought high-elastic and high-pressure materials that can be used to make hot air balloons," said Wang Yue.
This area is where the soldiers at Supply Point No. 7 often move around. Therefore, they did not encounter any dangerous beasts or valuable plants along the way. After driving for about an hour, they saw from afar a large rift valley that stretched across the land, like a hideous and terrifying wound.
"This, can you fly over it?" Ning Xuan turned and asked Di Youlin.
Di Youlin looked at the huge rift that seemed like the earth was suddenly split apart. The cliffs on both sides were more than a thousand feet high. The exposed ochre-red rocks were like peeling dragon scales, shining like rust in the sunset.
He shook his head. "Master, if we just fly over there, it will be fine. However, there is fog in the depths of the canyon. I don't feel good about the fog. I don't dare to take the risk with you."
"What about you, Wang Yue, can the hot air balloon fly over there?" Ning Xuan turned and asked Wang Yue.
"This canyon is really wide, Miss Ning. The distance is a bit far, and the fuel I prepared may not be enough. Also, if we want to carry people, the hot air balloon cannot fly very high. However, in such a wide and deep canyon, I am afraid that we will be disturbed by other things after flying to the center." Wang Yue replied.
Ning Xuan looked at Min Wu again, "I, I can flash over, the main thing is that someone goes there in advance so that I can locate it." Min Wu said stutteringly.
"It's morning now. According to Commander Fang's information, morning is the calmest time in the canyon and when the fog is the lightest. Wang Yue, prepare the hot air balloon, ignite the fuel, and take off." Ning Xuan ordered.
"Lan Xin, Lin Mo, Qing He, Wang Yue, you guys take the hot air balloon, Di Youlin and I will fly with you below the balloon."
"After we get there, I will be the location and Min Wu will be responsible for bringing the rest of the people over. Yun Han, you stay here and protect everyone." Ning Xuan put Yun Han, a powerful fighter, at the back to prevent the group that left later from encountering any danger.
Facing the deep canyon, everyone was unsure, but Ning Xuan's decisive arrangement made everyone feel at ease. Min Wu's ability was stable, and the key to crossing the rift valley depended on whether Ning Xuan and her team could succeed.
The hot air balloon quickly took off. Chen Nan and the other four people sat in the basket under the hot air balloon and felt the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, slowly flying towards the opposite side of the Great Rift Valley.
Everything went smoothly at first. Lin Mo and Wang Yue cooperated with each other and controlled the direction of the hot air balloon. Soon, the hot air balloon arrived at the center of the Great Rift Valley. The hot air balloon, which was originally very stable, suddenly shook. The fuel in the fuel basin flashed, and half of the fuel was extinguished. At this time, the hot air balloon suddenly fell downward, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.
The hot air balloon had already descended several dozen meters below its expected altitude, and the rising damp and cold air currents in the canyon caused the basket to begin to shake violently.
Ning Xuan sat on Di Youlin's back and flew to the fuel basin. Ning Xuan stretched out her hand and a golden-red flame burned at her fingertips. This was the Vermillion Bird Fire. With the blessing of the Vermillion Bird Fire, the fuel that had been extinguished began to burn again.
After the fire was strong, the hot air balloon slowly rose upwards and gradually returned to stability.
At this moment, a creepy buzzing sound came from the depths of the canyon, and countless flying insects with phosphorescence rose up like dark clouds and flew towards Ning Xuan and the others. The air currents caused by the vibration of their wings made the hot air balloon start to spin.
Di Youlin, Qinghe and Ning Xuan attacked at the same time. Qinghe used his natal dragon scales as a weapon. The scales could be formed into any shape at will. This time, Qinghe's weapon was in the shape of an insect net. The dark cloud-like flying insects would be shattered instantly as long as they hit the net.
Ning Xuan used the wings of the flying elephant ant that she had refined, which could also be transformed into various shapes and were extremely sharp.
As for Di Youlin, his hands had turned into a pair of sharp claws, which he waved towards the swarm of insects.
The three of them worked together and quickly dealt with the swarm of insects. However, Di Youlin began to become irritable and his mental state seemed to be affected.
