Land Rocket
Mosayus really did head towards Parami!
The Armored Vehicle were no faster Mosayus. At their current speed, even if they weren't caught up, by the time they got back to Paramis City, Mosayus would be right behind them. There would be no time to prepare, and they could only watch helplessly as the city fell.
"Doesn't your Holy See have any means of long-distance communication?" Luo Jun asked, gripping the steering wheel and turning around. "How do the various branches usually communicate?"
"This world already has telegraph technology... communication is no problem at all..." Jason replied, "Long-distance Exploration Team usually only carry a Positioning Device for branch monitoring."
Location alone can't convey such complex information...
"We still have to wait more than twenty hours for Old Yuan's parchment?" Zhuge Chi gritted his teeth. "By then, Mosayus will almost be there."
"I was too hasty..." Old Yuan also regretted using the communication artifact too early.
"I have a very fast treasure...it can get me back at least a dozen hours earlier," Luo Jun suddenly said, "But I can only bring four more people with me!"
"What are they talking about? It's so mysterious!" Jin Fei asked curiously.
The group exchanged glances and nodded.
Luo Jun, whose amplification is twice that of others, can reduce energy consumption by about 20% per level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and 36% per level for two levels. When he activates the jet acceleration, he only consumes six to seven breaths per second.
After making the decision, the Armored Vehicle swerved sideways, the hatch opened, and Ophelia and Luo Jun jumped out. Luo Jun waved his Hundred Treasure Box, and a sports car with an explosive mechanical feel appeared on the desert.
The two walked to the side, and Old Yuan even took out props to set up Soundproof Barrier.
Mu Ning snorted coldly, "That's Old Yuan, the quality of his props is extremely high, how could it be so easy to see through... Besides, even if I could see through it, I wouldn't help you do this kind of thing..."
Four spots are too many; everyone will either fight over them or defer to them. We need to discuss it for a while. It would be better to just take one person back. Ophelia is indeed the most suitable candidate.
As he spoke, he looked at the others. "No objections, right?"
"I'm just curious..." Jin Fei leaned closer to Mu Ning: "Can you see through that barrier?"
"Wouldn't it be more useful for me to stay?" The old woman smiled. "Those two who left were both monsters with terrifying magnanimity; the vital energy in this carriage might not be enough to sustain them..."
Old Yuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"But..." Luo Jun wanted to insist, but was interrupted by Old Yuan: "We have more people on our side, which makes it easier to deal with this monster. Your mission to deliver the message is more difficult. Taking one less person means less weight, which can increase your speed a bit..."
"Getting envious?" Luo Jun glanced at him. "This thing is the reward for the Miracle Chess Game."
"Was it from that time?" Jin Fei was taken aback, then his expression relaxed. "Never mind, I don't have your ability, even if you gave it to me, I couldn't handle it."
However, when using Yuan Qi to power a Noble Phantasm, the concentration of Yuan Qi doesn't have a significant effect. Therefore, this reduction in consumption isn't a proportional decrease like "doubling the concentration halves the consumption." Based on actual testing, for most Cultivators, each level of the Foundation Establishment Realm can reduce Noble Phantasm consumption by about 10% compared to the previous level, and this reduction is cumulative.
As for the speed reduction, Luo Jun was willing to go all out!
"And there's Mu Ning ..." Zhuge Chi suggested, "Her perception can predict the arrival of monsters in advance, helping the city prepare for battle."
As they spoke, the two finished their private conversation. Luo Jun returned without saying a word. Because he was wearing a mask, no one could see his expression, let alone guess what they had discussed...
"Huh?" Luo Jun exclaimed in surprise.
The Old Man couldn't help but sigh. His disciple had really made something of himself. He had quite a few magical artifacts and even a means of transportation, but none of them were this fast... He had originally planned to do a few more jobs to save up some capital for the kid's cultivation, but he hadn't expected his disciple to take him by the nose so quickly...
"Wow, awesome!" Jin Fei exclaimed. "Why didn't you bring it out earlier?"
The vehicle will be equipped with an all-around shield. Although the shield value is not high, it is enough to withstand the fine sand that is stirred up.
"He came here for Yuan Shouzhen, so it's normal for him to have some private messages to share with him." Zhuge Chi didn't seem to care.
"Then let Sister Sharna ..." Jason suggested, "Her Blessing Spell can help people quickly recover their energy, making it easier to sustain their energy."
"Take Ophelia with you," Flora said. "She's an expert on the Ancient Parami Civilization and a representative of the Holy See; she can be of help."
Old Yuan glanced at Luo Jun, knowing that his purpose in bringing the news was secondary; his main intention was to get him away ahead of time.
"Just take Ophelia with you. She's from the Holy See and an expert on Ancient Parami; she's more than enough to vouch for you!"
"Wow, that's less than a second to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h!" Jin Fei exclaimed, watching the taillights disappear behind the sand dunes in the blink of an eye, feeling a little itchy again.
The three forms of the Rook, Knight, Cannon, horse, Crisscross: the horse is mainly used to deal with complex terrain, the cannon is used for powerful attacks, and the chariot is used for extreme speed!
After getting into the driver's and passenger's seats with Ophelia, Luo Jun glanced at Old Yuan one last time, sighed slightly, channeled his energy, stepped on the gas, and sped away in his Longitudinal and Horizontal Sports Car!
Like the Warhorse mode, the sports car mode also has two rows of Jet Ports at the rear, which can spray flames to accelerate the vehicle when necessary. Moreover, this jet is not a one-time use, but a continuous one. With this acceleration, the car almost becomes a rocket flying close to the ground, and the performance of the tires is no longer so important.
Even when galloping at full speed in horse form, it can easily exceed 100 kilometers per hour.
"Never mind..." Old Yuan waved his hand, "I'll stay too..."
"I... I think it's better for me to stay," Mu Ning objected. "This monster's temperament is hard to predict. If it changes direction unexpectedly, I can stay and guide the Armored Vehicle."
Of course, such a powerful ability also consumes a lot of energy. Normal activation consumes eight Breath Vital Energy per minute, while activating the boost can consume up to ten breaths per second!
Normally, this function should be used in the same way as the warhorse's boost, turning it on and off instantly to gain a brief acceleration. But now, due to the emergency, Luo Jun went straight to full power, turning the boost to its maximum!
Luo Jun's current physical Root Bone is more than forty times that of an ordinary person. He has reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm Strengthening Acquired Potential, and his acquired physical constitution exceeds 20,000. In addition, after cultivating to the Limit the ninth level, his Qi volume doubles again. Now his total Qi volume is close to 500,000!
This is an unprecedented and terrifying magnanimity; if you told anyone, probably no one would believe it!
The Noble Phantasm that allows one to ride into the night not only enables one to return early to report the news, but also to shake off Mosayus; staying behind means danger!
Moreover, Luo Jun has now reached the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the concentration of his Qi has greatly increased, which has also reduced the Qi consumption when using his treasures.
For the average person, this is still a huge expense, but compared to Luo Jun's terrifying energy of nearly 500,000...
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone's faces lit up with joy, but when the second half was uttered, they all exchanged tense glances.
"Sharna is right." Old Yuan looked at Luo Jun with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "We two are the most magnanimous in the team. If we both leave, this Armored Vehicle probably won't be able to keep going for long. If we're really targeted, we won't even have a chance to escape."
Given relatively flat terrain, the speed of the chariot form is several times that of the horse form!
Of course, the desert is definitely not the most ideal driving condition. Not only do the tires have poor grip, but the sand can also easily get stuck in the parts... However, vehicle mode has another very useful ability, which is a shield!
"The person who entrusted me with this matter has some words for you."
"If you can't see through it, just say you can't see through it..." Jin Fei scoffed.
Personally speaking, most people would want to leave first, but how to decide who goes first is not up to them.
Just as Luo Jun was about to get into the car, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a look from his Master. Luo Jun was slightly taken aback, but understood immediately and said, "Yuan Shouzhen, may I speak to you in private?"
"I must bring Yuan Shouzhen back," Luo Jun said. "He experienced Mosayus's last awakening and has enough prestige to vouch for me. You can decide about the others yourselves... the sooner the better."
Even if it's running continuously, it can consume energy for a whole day and night... Of course, in reality, as long as Luo Jun has enough stamina, this consumption is not even comparable to his normal energy recovery rate!
And so, piloting this Land Rocket, he sped toward Paramis City at an incredible speed!
