Chapter 74 Magadha



Du Yuqi's eyes sparkled when he heard this.

"Lin has indeed shouldered too heavy a fate in his life. If he can gain enlightenment and be freed from it, that would be the best. We can be happy for him. Now that we can't help him, we can only wish him all the best. Let's go. We are ready to set off. Where is the Magadha that Tielang promised us? Has he been sent over?"

Xi shook his head and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a light "buzzing" sound coming from the distant sky. Then he saw a Magadha slowly descending from the clouds. The cargo hold under the Magadha was full. Although it looked a little shabby, it was still flying steadily.

Soon, a messenger came running over and said:

"Pastor Du, the Magadha ship carrying the goods has arrived. It will unload all the goods in about half an hour and then take off. Boss Tielang has already paid for your tickets to the Luolan area. The Magadha ship will not wait for anyone, so please don't be late."

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"Okay, I understand."

Then Du Yuqi turned to Xi and said:

"Go wake up Meimei and tell her to get up now. She should eat after boarding Magadha and then have a good sleep. There is little hope of buying something from Mingxi. Otherwise, Duize would not be forced to this extent. We are ready to leave. Time is urgent and we cannot delay any longer."

Everyone's luggage had been packed. After hearing what Du Yuqi said, even the sleepy Chang Chang was woken up yawning, and then quickly headed towards Magadha. Just after arriving on Magadha, news came from Mingxi that they didn't find anyone selling what they wanted, so they boarded the ship directly.

It was obvious that the owner of the Magadha was in a hurry. He had just finished loading the cargo and replenishing the supplies when he ordered the ship to take off. It was only 20 minutes. Although the Magadha looked a bit shabby on the outside, it was actually well maintained when you looked closer:

Every place on the deck has been carefully scrubbed by the crew and is spotless. At the same time, the operating parts of the Magadha are oiled, emitting a glossy glow under the morning sun. Every angular place is wrapped with thick cloth, and there are handles everywhere for people to hold on to. These details really make people feel good, knowing that there are capable people presiding over the Magadha.

After the Magadha successfully took off and began to fly steadily, the crew began to serve food to Du Yuqi and others. Because they had been traveling around for a long time, the food provided on the Magadha was a hodgepodge. For example, the sweet potato wine served was a specialty of Xu Zu, and next to the black bread there were even grilled skewers of insects that were roasted until they were golden and greasy. Finally, there were breadfruits from afar. There was no particularly complex and exquisite food, but the taste was unique.

Because this is a cargo Magadha, its main structure is mainly made of wood, and the main focus is on being light and strong. Therefore, all of them are made of cedar that grows around the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains. This kind of cedar grows in a very cold environment for many years, and is blown by wind and snow. Its growth is extremely slow, and it can only grow a little every year. It takes hundreds of years to grow to the size of a normal pine tree. Even when cutting down, a large amount of machinery is needed to cut it into suitable wooden boards and parts, which are as hard as steel.

When Magadha flew to an altitude of several thousand meters above the ground, an altitude only a few birds of prey could soar at, he could see the horizon in the distance extending forward. The white, black and red houses below were like small matchboxes. The fields were divided by criss-crossing paths and were very neat. Because of the different crops planted, some were light green, some were dark green, some were golden, and some were indigo. It looked pleasing to the eye and very neat.

The sky that was originally out of reach now seemed extraordinarily close. One could vaguely see the rippling waves above and huge fish swimming around. It was the famous Sea of ​​the Sky. Such a scene of the sea and sky being one could only be seen in such a exotic place as the continent of Arad.

At this time, Changqi had gone to the cabin to sleep soundly, while Du Yuqi stood at the bow to look at the scenery. He was standing in an unobstructed position, and the strong wind blew his hair and clothes into the air. However, Du Yuqi was completely unaware of it, and after a while he said:

"What do you want from me?"

"Yes." The person who spoke was none other than Holmes, whose face was pale. Her eyes looked empty and deep at this moment.

"I heard that we are heading to Loran now? And then we are going to go deep into the Bilmark Proving Ground?"

Du Yuqi said:

"Yes."

Holmes sighed faintly:

"That's not a good place... It's because it produces extremely rare Terra Stone, so many people flocked in, but only a few of them could come out alive."

Du Yuqi's eyes fixed at this moment and said:

"You seem to be familiar with that place?"

Holmes said with a somewhat hazy look in his eyes:

"Yes, I've been there three times. The last time I narrowly escaped death, so I never went there again. There are many treasures in the world that can be put to great use. It's not necessary to have Terra Stone. I'd rather work harder to buy it."

"Oh?" Du Yuqi didn't say anything at this time, and said directly: "It seems that you have a lot of experience in this. Come on, tell me the reason."

Holmes was speaking out everything he knew, as it involved his own life and death. He looked vaguely as he spoke:

"Everyone knows that Terra Stone contains magical power, but few people know that Terra Stone is not native to Arad, but comes from Terra. The power contained in it is amazing. The original intention of establishing the Bilmark Empire Test Site is to study the mysteries of Terra Stone as much as possible, and then to prepare a series of creatures to maximize the power of Terra Stone."

Seeing Du Yuqi seemed to have gained something, Holmes said directly:

"Master Du, look, if I don't have any tools to help me with this punch, then at most I can only break a piece of wood, right?"

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"That's right."

Holmes continued:

"If I had an axe in my hand at this moment, and swung it with the same force, I could at least break three wooden boards of the same thickness! The same force, but because of the use of different tools, has completely different killing effects! The power contained in the Terra Stone is equivalent to the force when I punch. It seems limited, but in fact it has infinite potential. The axe is the modified and modulated experimental organisms in the Bilmark test site. It's very clear, right!"

Du Yuqi nodded slightly and said:

"It couldn't be clearer."

"So," Holmes said solemnly, "If you want to find the Terra Stone in the Bilmark Test Site, the most effective way is to kill the powerful mutant creatures inside!"

"Because these mutants were specially modified to be biological weapons with Terra Stone as their core. They were given this mission from the moment they were born. Even though the Empire's control over the entire test site completely failed, these mutants were passed down from generation to generation as an instinct after many generations of reproduction. They are completely dependent on Terra Stone to grow completely. Only Terra Stone can make them fully mature and then continue to reproduce. The more powerful the mutant, the more likely it is to find and devour Terra Stone as its core. Therefore, the stronger the mutant, the more Terra Stone it has in its body."

"As for the other ways... According to the information I have learned, there may be some Terra Stones hidden in the Bilmark Test Site, but they are also very rare, so don't hold out hope of finding ready-made Terra Stones in hidden boxes and secret places. This is simply a low-probability event."

"Now that you put it like that, it's clear to me." Du Yuqi nodded slightly and said, "Among all the information I've collected, your opinion is also very important. I'll tell you a bad news and a good news."

"The bad news is that even after listening to your advice, we still need to go to the Bilmark Proving Ground."

"As for the good news? Who told you that we went to the Bilmark Proving Ground to look for Terra Stone?"
