This was meat the Mortal Domain had found, and only the Mortal Domain could eat it.

The Mortal Domain Undersea Tunnel.

A High-Speed Rail, fully loaded with resources and members of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion, shot forward through the dark Tunnel.

There was no scenery on either side.

There is no light source.

All that could be vaguely seen outside the window was a dark, oval Tunnel.

The group of members of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion sat inside the High-Speed Rail, feeling both apprehensive and excited. They didn't know the specifics of their mission, only that they were going to explore a new place.

It's a big task.

The Domain Lord's disappearance over the past few months has been spent preparing for this major task.

Preparations were now complete, and it was their turn to take the stage.

Originally, the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail did not have seats. It was originally the prototype of the "Max-Level Gondola" and naturally did not have seats. However, some High-Speed Rail that were exclusively for the Mortal Domain had seats added by the Logistics Pavilion.

It's more comfortable to ride in.

After all, the Mortal Domain is over a thousand kilometers away from "Hope Island," and the journey takes two hours.

We stood there the whole way.

After getting off the bus, it will probably be difficult to get back to work immediately.

"A group of kids."

Inside the High-Speed Rail.

Sitting next to King Mazi, Zhang Damao looked at the group of somewhat nervous and excited members of the Commerce Pavilion around him, grinned, and cursed, "This mission isn't very dangerous. It's much easier than our last one. Last time, we were really risking our lives."

Zhang Damao was a member of the Commerce Pavilion.

They followed King Mazi through the Forbidden Land "Thunderstorm Sea," discovered New Continent, and Triumphant Return.

After expansion, the Commerce Pavilion now has more than seventy members.

The eleven who had survived with King Mazi had all obtained official positions, serving as squad leaders Subordinate several people. In the Mortal Domain, the people of "Commerce Pavilion" were the fastest to rise through the ranks.

They have grown up by now.

To be honest...

He was actually a little nervous, after all, he didn't know what the mission was. He only knew that the Pavilion Master had told them that the mission was not very dangerous. But when he thought about how he was now an official, he couldn't help but not want to show his fear when he spoke.

"Brother Mao."

A member of the Commerce Pavilion sitting nearby, somewhat apprehensive, asked, "Do you know where this Undersea Tunnel leads? It feels like the High-Speed Rail has been running for ages. If we were on the Jiangbei Wasteland, we'd be almost at the Jiangbei Bridge by now, heading Jiangnan."

Zhang Damao laughed, and said with some emotion.

"This Undersea Tunnel is much longer than Line One. Take your time, there's still a long way to go."

"Don't blame me for not warning you."

"It's best to take advantage of this time to eat and drink as much as you like, get a good night's sleep after you've eaten and drunk your fill, and conserve your energy. If we encounter danger when we get there, whoever runs the slowest will die."

"That's why when our Commerce Pavilion members train their Martial Technique in the 'Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion,' they prioritize training movement techniques and the like. We don't need to kill enemies."

"We just need to run fast enough."

"Clear."

The Commerce Pavilion member took a deep breath, took the words to heart, and quickly chewed the dry rations he had taken out of his pocket. He was originally from the "Logistics Pavilion," but later applied for a personnel change to join the Commerce Pavilion.

His superiors approved the personnel change.

The Logistics Pavilion is actually extremely safe.

The places they went to were places where the Strange Entities would not bother them at all. To put it bluntly, the Logistics Pavilion had the third lowest mortality rate in the Mortal Domain, but it was not the lowest. In case of war, it would still be somewhat dangerous for the members of the Logistics Pavilion to transport resources to the Frontline.

But

Commerce Pavilion.

That was a department everyone knew had an extremely high mortality rate.

The "Commerce Pavilion" of other factions are mainly responsible for conducting business.

The "Commerce Pavilion" in the Mortal Domain is mainly responsible for exploration.

Exploration often means both great opportunities and great crises. It is a department where one can make great contributions in an instant or die in an instant. Although the Logistics Pavilion is safe, there are no opportunities to make contributions.

His sole reason for applying to join the "Commerce Pavilion" was that he wanted to earn merit and get a promotion and a raise.

It's very simple.

He never had the chance to climb up the social ladder before; his fate was predetermined. He could only eke out a living and pray that he could survive the next Rainy Season. Now that he had the chance, he wanted to give it a try.

See how far you can go.

Standing at the front of the car, looking into the dark depths of the Tunnel ahead, King Mazi listened to the conversation of his subordinates behind him. He smiled but did not turn around to speak. He had followed Wang Kui since the Rainy Season, until he met the Domain Lord at the Jiangbei Chen Family Station No. 37.

He genuinely didn't know at the time.

Your destiny will change from that moment on.

At the time, he was only thinking about whether these arrow Arrow Tower could protect them and help them survive the Rainy Season; he never imagined that this day would come.

This journey is to explore New Continent.

This momentous task, which will determine the future direction of the Mortal Domain, will be personally handled by King Mazi!

This Trust.

Words cannot express it.

New Continent.

On the beach, the makeshift City, which Chen Fan named "New Continent City New Continent No. 1 Outpost," was emitting a Yellow Grade glow in the night.

The Inner City was Level-6 City Wall, each ten meters long and wide.

The Outer City was Level-3 City Wall, each one Thousand Meters long and wide.

At each of the four corners of the Outer City, he placed an Eerie Fire to ensure that the attack range of the Godslayer Cannon on the City Wall could be extended to the maximum extent. At this moment, night fell.

Eternal Nightfall this ravaged New Continent, and endless darkness enveloped the entire land. Only this City radiated a resilient, eggshell-like Yellow Grade light.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, squinting as he looked out over the City Wall.

He's waiting.

He was waiting to see if any Strange Entities would attack. He wasn't sure if any Strange Entities would appear after the Eternal Nightfall on this continent, but at least so far, not a single Strange Entities had attacked, and he hadn't even heard any Strange Entities making any noise in the darkness.

If there are Strange Entities.

He will upgrade the City Wall immediately.

The temporary City "New Continent No. 1 Outpost" has Level-3 City Wall Outer City Wall, which is actually quite strong. Even the City Wall City "Mortal City" is only Level-1 City Wall.

Outside of the Rainy Season, Level-1 City Wall are sufficient.

In most cases, even outside the Rainy Season, the City Wall are not needed, and the Strange Entities will not impact the Eerie Fire at all.

But this is, after all, New Continent, and he's in the midst of an extremely brutal battlefield. He can't say for sure what might happen here.

But now it seems that there really may be no more Strange Entities on this continent.

One

A deserted continent, silent and still.

Inside the City.

Hundreds of monkeys were quietly and quickly collecting the Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone in the city and neatly piling them up to the side, ready to be transported back on the High-Speed Rail after the "Commerce Pavilion" members arrived.

Because the High-Speed Rail through the Undersea Tunnel is a single-track line.

No meeting points were set up.

Just then

A faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the High-Speed Rail exit, and a dusty High-Speed Rail slowly came to a stop.

"Domain Lord!"

King Mazi, leading a group of the Commerce Pavilion members, excitedly jogged up the City Wall carrying a large amount of resources and stood before Chen Fan: "All 76 members of the Commerce Pavilion have arrived. They've rested in the vehicles and are ready to carry out the mission at any time!"

Chen Fan looked at King Mazi beside him and couldn't help but laugh. After not seeing him for several months, King Mazi still had the same pockmarked Mazi. Who would have thought that this guy who was doing manual labor for Female Wraith during the Rainy Season would one day grow into a capable Commerce Pavilion Master?

"You're not a nobody anymore, aren't you? Why don't you think of a way to get rid of those Mazi on your face?"

"Hey-hey."

King Mazi, with a slightly goofy grin, said, "If I get rid of the Mazi, can I still be King Mazi?"

Chen Fan didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the darkness outside the City Wall. After a long pause, he murmured somewhat absentmindedly, "King Mazi."

"This is the New Continent, the New Continent you discovered."

"For the past few months, Weiwei and I have been braving the elements here to dig this Undersea Tunnel. We have completed a project that spans centuries, and I believe that no force on the Eternal Night Continent could have accomplished this."

"I conducted a preliminary reconnaissance Daytime."

"This is a continent utterly destroyed by Strange Entities, scattered with countless Eerie Stones and Ghost Bone. It is currently uncertain whether there are any other Strange Entities, but it is highly likely that there are none."

"Those monkeys in the city are Exotic Beast that the Mortal Domain subdued on 'Hope Island'."

"They will be responsible for collecting the Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone on this continent."

"But"

"It's not that the entire continent is scattered with Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone. The reason there are more Eerie Stone here is because this place was a defensive line where a very fierce war took place. Your Commerce Pavilion's mission is to explore this continent."

"Go explore all the destroyed defenses on this continent."

"Go explore those Primordial Era battlefields."

"Mark the Coordinates on the Ghosthide Map."

"This matter is extremely important to the Mortal Domain, which is why I have postponed 'Mortal Domain Communications' for several months. This was a highly anticipated project within the Mortal Domain at the time, expected to earn tens of millions of Eerie Stone."

"There may be many crises deep within the mainland, but you must rise to the challenge."

"If you can do this well..."

"I'll remember this great achievement for you."

"When the Northbank Defense Line is completed, you, King Mazi, will be the one to take the lead in achieving this feat."

"Rest tonight, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

King Mazi replied solemnly, "I will certainly not disappoint the Domain Lord's expectations."

"Alright."

Chen Fan suddenly laughed and patted King Mazi on the shoulder, "Actually, there shouldn't be too much danger. Contact me immediately if you encounter any danger, and I'll come to your aid."

You did a great job.

All members of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion are now resting.

Only the monkeys continued their tireless work.

It took most of the day.

All the Ghost Bone and Eerie Stone on the surface of the City have been excavated, and two High-Speed Rail have been loaded and transported back to the "Mortal Domain". The City area of New Continent No. 1 Outpost is not small, with a length and width of one thousand meters, covering a very large area.

These hundreds of monkeys work extremely efficiently.

You could even say that...

That's ridiculously fast.

Moreover, one

As Chen Fan descended the City Wall, preparing to upgrade his "Vehicle Workshop," he paused slightly with a strange expression after passing the group of monkeys, and beckoned to the Crippled Monkey beside him.

"Crippled Monkey, go and tell them."

"There's no need to push yourself so hard."

"There's still a lot of work to be done. We need to move all the Eerie Stone and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from this continent back. It's not just this little bit; there are still many more Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone outside the city that haven't been collected."

"If you work this hard at the beginning, you won't have the energy later."

"This is a long-term project; we need to take a break when necessary."

Although these monkeys were extremely efficient at their work, he didn't want them to work so hard, lest they all collapse from exhaustion.

It's worth mentioning.

The Crippled Monkey told him that he and these monkeys could communicate simply and instantly understand each other's body language and eye contact. He didn't know how they did it, perhaps because their names both contained the character for "monkey."

"Clear!"

The Crippled Monkey nodded and quickly summoned the monkey Monkey King, who was Subordinate his monkey minions not far away. After the two whispered and gestured for a while, the Crippled Monkey walked up to Chen Fan with a strange expression and reported.

"Young Master."

"The Monkey King said they don't need to sleep; they replenish their energy through food. They've never slept since birth; they only sleep in one situation: after death."

"And they're not tired either."

"They'll regain their strength once they've eaten their fill. They used to dedicate so much of their energy to planting trees because they had so much energy they couldn't use it all up." Chen Fan remained silent for a long time without expression before his lips twitched.

He didn't know the names of these Exotic Beasts.

I didn't see any special abilities in them.

But.

Now he knows what abilities he has.

"Perfect workforce".

They don't even need to sleep.

What else could he say? These monkeys weren't tired, could he force them to sleep? He turned and walked towards the Warehouse next to him, glancing at the monkey king standing beside him, squeaking and gesturing wildly, in charge of directing the Monkey King.

He was curious about how the Monkey King was chosen.

This Monkey King only looks bigger and runs a bit faster than the other monkeys; he doesn't seem much stronger. He's also timid.

When Weiwei rushed out, the Monkey King was the first to run away.

While the monkeys and their offspring were all busy, the Monkey King did no work; instead, he took charge of giving orders.

He was giving orders while munching on Chicken Leg.

He looks quite dashing.

Chen Fan walked into the Warehouse located at "New Continent No. 1 Outpost", took out the "Yagu Bone" and "Sea Embryo" brought by the Commerce Pavilion, and walked to the Level 1 "Vehicle Workshop" next to it.

Preparing for an upgrade.

He needed to find a relatively fast means of transportation for the Commerce Pavilion that could travel on the mainland.

Let's see if the Vehicle Workshop will have it after the upgrade.

If you really can't find one, you'll have to rely on the Skeleton Horse, but that will slow down your exploration progress considerably.

After multiple upgrades.

A panel suddenly popped up in front of me.

"Vehicle Workshop upgraded to Level 4."

Please select an upgrade direction.

1: Slightly reduce vehicle manufacturing time.

2: Slightly reduce vehicle manufacturing costs.

3: Slightly reduce vehicle energy consumption.

"New craftable vehicle: Stilts, which can be driven by a single person on land and is quite effective when traversing complex terrain. Crafting requires 100 Eerie Stone."

This is the second "Vehicle Workshop" he has built.

When the Vehicle Workshop was upgraded to Level 4 last time, the vehicle that could be crafted Qualitative Transformation "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot," so he never knew what the normally craftable vehicles would be.

Now he knows.

Stilts.

A vehicle that sounds useless, only useful in extremely special circumstances or under extremely special terrain conditions. It didn't linger for long.

After randomly selecting the first upgrade option.

The Vehicle Workshop continues to be upgraded.

After consuming 10,000 Eerie Stones and reaching level 5, the ability to craft the "Giant Turtle" vehicle becomes available.

After consuming 20,000 Eerie Stone and one Yagu Bone, you reach level 6 and can craft the "Sea Ship" vehicle.

Consuming 50,000 Eerie Stone and a Sea Embryo, reaching level 7, and then...

"New craftable vehicle: Submersible Ship, capable of traveling at Seabed of up to 1,000 meters, equipped with Eerie Fire and simple Cannon Tower, and possessing defensive strength equivalent to Level-2 City Wall. Crafting requires 10,000 Eerie Stone."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. After the "Vehicle Workshop" was upgraded to level 7, the Submersible Ship was added, which is essentially a submarine and can travel on the Seabed. This enriched the types of vehicles in the Mortal Domain and greatly increased the exploration range.

Thousand Meters deep.

This is a location that is almost impossible to reach by human power.

Perhaps we can find many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the Seabed. It's not even deep sea; the depth of the coastal area Jiangbei is less than Thousand Meters.

Only,

Not needed at the moment.

What he needs now is a land vehicle that can outrun the Skeleton Horse.

I don't expect it to be as fast as his "High-Speed Rail," but it should at least be faster than the Skeleton Horse. It would be great if it could be as fast as the "Nine-Five Dragon Chariot," which is three times the speed of the Skeleton Horse.

He looked at the upgrade requirements.

"P. S.: Reaching level 8 requires 100,000 Eerie Stone and two Sea Embryo."

Chen Fan's lips twitched slightly. He had painstakingly collected eleven Sea Embryo, thinking they would last him a long time, but it turned out that he needed two more to upgrade to level 8.

Although it hurt a little, I didn't hesitate.

He saved up the Sea Embryo specifically for this crucial moment.

Continue upgrading.

As 100,000 Eerie Stone transformed into emulsion and poured into the "Vehicle Workshop" in front of him, he also threw two Sea Embryo placed in the Salt Jar inside the Vehicle Workshop.

Soon.

A panel pops up in front of you.

"New craftable vehicle: Flying Boat, 70 meters Boat Captain and 20 meters wide, equipped with built-in Eerie Fire and customizable Cannon Tower, and possesses defensive strength equivalent to Level-3 City Wall. Crafting requires 100,000 Eerie Stone."

Chen Fan stood there stunned for a long time before finally grinning!

This is it.

This was the vehicle he wanted, the perfect vehicle for exploring the "Commerce Pavilion." He looked at the vehicle's details; its speed was five times that of the Skeleton Horse.

Very nice.

This speed is already faster than the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot.

Of course, its speed is already comparable to that of "High-Speed Rail," especially since it is a flying vehicle that can traverse terrain and fly in the air. Flying vehicles completely outclass land vehicles.

Aside from the slightly higher price, there are no major drawbacks.

He glanced at the conditions for further upgrades to the Vehicle Workshop.

"P. S.: Reaching level 9 requires 200,000 Eerie Stone and one Mountain Embryo."

There are no plans to upgrade at the moment.

Even if there's an upgrade, it will be to the one located in the Mortal Domain Headquarters.

This is just a temporary rear base.

There's no need to invest heavily here.

This Flying Boat is enough.

The next moment

After consuming 100,000 Eerie Stone, and without needing any other materials, the Vehicle Workshop operated with Incense Stick for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The doors to the Vehicle Workshop were wide open.

Countless Wooden Board flew out from the gate and quickly assembled into a giant "Flying Boat" that hovered in the low sky.

This is the vehicle that took him the longest to build.

This is only because he chose to reduce crafting time for all his upgrades; otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

But.

Worth.

Chen Fan looked at the Flying Boat in front of him. It was a full 70 meters long from bow to stern, and it looked extremely imposing, even larger than Sea Ship. There was only one way to board the boat.

It's a rope ladder.

The deck was still quite high above the ground, and since he couldn't fly, he had to use the rope ladder.

After going up to the deck, he inspected the various sections of the "Cabin".

There is a living area.

There is an area where Eerie Fire are placed.

There's even a "Mustard-Seed Room," yes, the kind of Mustard-Seed Room you find in Warehouse, only not as big as the Mustard-Seed Room in Warehouse, but it's still pretty good, which greatly increases the vehicle's load-bearing capacity.

Vehicles like the "Sea Ship" come with their own Cannon Tower.

And this Flying Boat.

It does not come with Cannon Tower.

There are 17 slots available for him to customize, allowing him to place Cannon Tower.

They are distributed at the bow, stern, and both sides of the hull.

He wasn't stingy.

Seventeen fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon were directly installed in these gaps.

The max-level Godslayer Cannon is currently the strongest attack method in the "Mortal Domain". Just one of these cannons requires 37,800 Eerie Stone. To build 17 max-level Godslayer Cannon, he consumed a total of 640,000 Eerie Stone.

Just this one Flying Boat.

That would be equivalent to the combined accumulation of Eerie Stone by several powerful forces in Jiangnan.

It's very expensive.

But it's also very strong.

Chen Fan stood on the deck, surveying the brand-new Flying Boat beneath him, his eyes filled with satisfaction. This wasn't the first air-to-ground attack tactic used in the Mortal Domain. (The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot)

This is Rare vehicle.

One of its abilities is the ability to fly in the air and deploy a "Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard," where each Chessboard can be equipped with a Cannon Tower to launch devastating attacks on the ground.

Using this method, he launched a night raid on the Pill Sect.

And in one fell swoop, the status of the Mortal Domain in Jiangbei was firmly established.

He just never used it a second time.

The "Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard" has many flaws.

The biggest drawback is that it has a limited number of uses. After a few uses, the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot will shatter and become unusable. Also, the levitation time is only the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn, and the speed in the air is not fast.

But the "Flying Boat" is different.

As long as there are enough Eerie Stone, the Flying Boat can stay in the air all day without any usage restrictions.

Certainly.

However, it is inferior to the "Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard" in some ways. The Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard has 361 nodes, and each node can be equipped with a Cannon Tower. If all nodes are equipped with a fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon, its power will be many times greater than that of the Flying Boat.

Extensive bombing.

To give an inappropriate example...

The Type Nine-Five Dragon Chariot is more like a short-range bomber with usage restrictions, serving a deterrent purpose.

Flying Boat are long-range fighter jets with no usage restrictions.

The Eerie Fire inside the Flying Boat wasn't very large, just enough to envelop the Flying Boat itself, protecting it from Strange Entities during the non- Rainy Season. Of course.

There are very few aerial Strange Entities to begin with.

Like the Heaven-and-Earth Chessboard, the attack range of the Cannon Tower on the Flying Boat can exceed the Camp's area limit.

He also left 300,000 Eerie Stone in the Warehouse.

"Flying Boat" is good.

However, the number of Eerie Stone consumed during travel far exceeds that of other vehicles. But there is no extra consumption when using the Cannon Tower on the Flying Boat; it is considered normal consumption.

Three hundred thousand Eerie Stone should be enough.

That concludes the discussion.

A total of 1.04 million Eerie Stone were used, and a fully armed Flying Boat filled with Eerie Stone was completed!

It's different from the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot.

This Flying Boat can be obtained again; in other words, it can be put into standard use!

If

He owned three Flying Boat.

The entire sky over the "Four Regions of Jiangbei" belonged to him.

He owns thirty ships.

The West Pass Plains also had to bow down to him.

If there are three thousand ships.

Even if the Strange Entities want to invade the Eternal Night Continent, they'll have to consider his feelings.

That price is indeed a bit expensive.

Chen Fan still felt a pang of regret. Although he was now wealthy and powerful, Wang Kui would report his situation to him daily through Message Talisman. He had now turned Mortal Domain into a money-making machine.

Even outside the Mortal Domain, he can quickly amass wealth.

The current Eerie-Stone Reserves Eerie Stone the Mortal Domain is 47.98 million.

He could afford to collect a million Eerie Stone.

But.

In the first half of the year, he was so busy during the Rainy Season that he wished he could break a single Eerie Stone in half to make a flower. Now, he has used 1.04 million Eerie Stone to build a "Strategic-Class Flying Boat," which is indeed quite extravagant.

He's been digging the Undersea Tunnel for the past few months.

The rate at Mortal Domain generates revenue has slowed down somewhat.

It wasn't because he wasn't stationed there; although he wasn't personally overseeing the Mortal Domain, he still used Message Talisman daily to understand and manage Mortal Domain affairs. It was simply because...

The various factions and ordinary people have few Eerie Stone left.

At first, it absorbed money extremely quickly, largely because everyone had some savings. Now, those savings are almost completely drained. People only have so many Eerie Stones; Eerie Stone don't appear out of nowhere.

Normally speaking...

According to his plan, he should now be preparing to head to the "West Pass Plains" to continue expanding his wealth-making operations, but now that he has New Continent, his focus has shifted to developing New Continent.

After finishing all this, Chen Fan went to the Wooden Hut next door to prepare for sleep. Once things were running smoothly here, he planned to return to the Mortal Domain. Some buildings in the Mortal Domain also needed to be upgraded.

A soft snore soon followed.

Chen Fan hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, and he was going to get a good night's rest today.

Inside "New Continent No. 1 Outpost".

The only sound was the rustling of monkeys busily working.

Besides them.

The continent was completely deserted, creating an atmosphere of utter desolation and loneliness. However, the Crippled Monkey seemed to adapt quite well to it, having experienced this feeling during the Rainy Season.

The scene of them alone in the entire Jiangbei Wasteland, with continuous drizzle and Strange Entities everywhere except for the Eerie Fire, was truly unforgettable.

The monkeys adapted quite well.

They were on Hope Island and had never seen a human before.

Weiwei to mention...

For so many years, I've lived alone on this Nameless Mountain and haven't seen many people.

Then.

This environment, which could easily drive a social creature to mental illness, didn't seem to have any particular effect on Chen Fan and his companions. Apart from being unusually quiet, they didn't feel anything special.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Domain Lord!"

"Domain Lord!"

Half-asleep, Chen Fan heard King Mazi yelling at him outside the window. Annoyed, he buried his head under the covers and covered his ears with a pillow. When you're tired, you don't feel anything.

I felt completely exhausted as soon as I took a break.

He hadn't slept well for months, and now that he was being woken up from a deep sleep, he was naturally extremely irritable. All he wanted to do was ignore everything and get a good night's sleep. Even if the sky were to fall, he'd let himself wake up first.

Soon.

The sounds outside disappeared.

Just as Chen Fan was drifting off to sleep again, his chest suddenly felt hot, and the heat intensified.

"Snap."

Chen Fan abruptly threw off the blanket, pulled out the burning hot Message Talisman from his pocket and threw it aside. He Clothing, walked to the door, opened it with both hands, and stared expressionlessly at King Mazi standing at the door, along with dozens of neatly dressed members of the Commerce Pavilion behind him.

"Domain Lord."

King Mazi hesitated, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Did I disturb your sleep?"

"No."

Chen Fan looked up at the sky not far away, where the first light of Fish-Belly White was just beginning to appear. Clearly, the Eternal Night had just ended, and the sun had not yet risen; the sky was in the transition between day and night.

He paused for a moment before laughing.

Last night I was practicing a Cultivation Manual and got quite engrossed in it.

That's all.

He then came to his senses, walked out of the house, and led King Mazi and his group to the Flying Boat next to him. "This is the 'Strategic-Class Flying Boat' that I spent a million Eerie Stone to build for your Commerce Pavilion last night."

The maximum flight altitude is three thousand meters.

"Without activating the Godslayer Cannon, full-speed flight for one day would consume 1,000 Eerie Stone, a speed comparable to, or even slightly faster than, High-Speed Rail." "Currently, the Flying Boat contains 300,000 Eerie Stone, enough for you to travel for 300 days."

"Of course, using the Godslayer Cannon is a different story. The Godslayer Cannon consumes a lot of resources, so try to avoid using it unless it's an emergency." "The Mustard-Seed Room in the Cabin is completely filled with Eerie Stone; it can't hold anything else. Your task is exploration; you don't need to carry anything else." "The rest you can figure out on your own."

That's all.

Chen Fan turned and walked towards the Wooden Hut.

It won't work.

He really needed a good night's sleep; these past few months had nearly driven him crazy. If he wasn't allowed to get a good night's rest, he'd feel like killing someone. Chen Fan had already left.

When King Mazi and his group, who were stunned, came to their senses, Chen Fan had already disappeared. But then, King Mazi grinned, waved his arms, and shouted as he boarded the boat.

The members of the Commerce Pavilion excitedly climbed the rope ladder onto the Flying Boat.

Soon.

The Flying Boat slowly rose into the air, changed direction mid-air, and, resembling a colossal object, sped towards the edge of the New Continent, constantly passing through one Abandoned Defense Line after another.

The Domain Lord installed a Signal Tower at "New Continent No. 1 Outpost".

Within a thousand miles.

They can contact the Stronghold.

After traveling more than a thousand miles...

They just disappeared.

What lies ahead is unknown, yet it sends chills down one's spine.

Standing on the deck, King Mazi leaned over the railing, looking down at the rapidly passing lines of ruins below. This was the first time he had seen the state of this New Continent up close Daytime.

Those defensive lines that have been reduced to ruins.

Countless Eerie Stone and pale, Ghost Bone were buried on the ground by wind and sand.

It has been proven.

This place was once an extremely brutal battlefield.

Countless people died.

Many years have passed, but time has not obscured all of this. As newcomers, they have set foot on this continent once more, their Flying Boat gliding high in the sky, Rapid Fire heading towards the unknown future.

King Mazi standing on the deck.

Spread one arm.

Feeling the coolness of the high sky and the whistling wind rushing towards me, my spirits soared at that moment, and I couldn't help but want to compose a poem. It was the height of summer, but the air was cool.

If we don't count the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, this was the first time he had ever flown in the air.

It was also the first time he had seen the world from this perspective.

"Pavilion Master."

Zhang Damao, standing beside him, opened his mouth wide and roared into the wind, "Why don't you open your arms?"

"Nonsense!"

Clinging tightly to the deck railing, King Mazi snapped, "With this strong wind, what if you fall? Do you think you'll survive?" King Tianfang, had found the user manual in the control room. He explained that the Spirit Shield could be activated to protect against the cold wind and temperature fluctuations.

"Does this consume Eerie Stone?"

"The consumption is 100 Eerie Stone per day."

"Damn, that's expensive!"

King Mazi couldn't help but curse, "I'm not opening it. Let's save some Eerie Stone. Earning Eerie Stone in the Mortal Domain isn't easy, and we still need to build the Northbank Defense Line. Let the wind be strong, just tell everyone to be careful while watching the show on deck, so they don't fall overboard."

At this moment, many members of the Commerce Pavilion were leaning on the deck masts, looking down below.

This was the first time the Lords had experienced the sensation of flying through the air.

Old Liang said.

I was a little scared, and my legs felt weak.

But I was also a little excited.

This feeling is similar to my relationship with Xiao Lezi, a bittersweet experience, a completely new one.

King Mazi glanced back at the group of the Commerce Pavilion members behind him, then turned around and continued looking ahead at the plain, grinning and muttering, "A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world."

But the next moment

The master suddenly froze, gazing at the abandoned, gnarled defensive line on the ground in the distance. Suddenly agitated, he exclaimed urgently, "Land the Flying Boat! Go check that out!"

Having Flying Boat is great.

A wide field of vision.

Wow, another new Ancient Battlefield has been discovered so quickly.

Now look up.

You can still faintly see the seven abandoned battle lines built at the entrance to the Beach Plains. The two Ancient Battlefield are not far apart, and from the ground, you cannot fully feel the grandeur of those seven battle lines.

Only in the air.

Only then could one see that the Seven Defense Lines were almost touching, forming a huge Heavenly Chasm that firmly protected the entire plain behind it, blocking all the Strange Entities that attempted to land from the Seabed from outside the defenses.

Pity

It failed.

All Seven Defense Lines were reduced to ruins.

Soon.

The Flying Boat slowly landed in the turbid area of Ancient Battlefield of Yali. There was only one defensive line in Yali. At a glance, Wuwei had been reduced to ruins and gnarled buildings, with Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone scattered all over the ground.

King Mazi kicked the closest white bones to the master a few times. There was not a trace of flesh or blood. It was not the red dragon that had been killed, but rather the dragon that had been gnawed on by a vulture or some other dragon-like creature. The master had hardly ever seen any of its own kind.

It seems like it's not just magazines that have become extinct.

Its main organism, the velvet-covered dragon, is almost extinct.

On the Island Qiu in the New Continent, we also saw several rats.

The defensive line is not long.

When the master looked down from the air, he estimated that the canyon was about a few kilometers long. The defensive line stood at the entrance of the Canyon, and behind the defensive line were continuous mountain ranges. The terrain was somewhat similar to the "Nameless Mountain" of this Canyon.

After King Mazi placed the mark on the Ghosthide Map in his hand, he did not linger.

The Flying Boat rose straight into the sky.

Embark on another journey of exploration.

The masters are responsible for exploration, while the mining work will be carried out by their respective masters.

It has to be said that things are much more convenient now that we have Flying Boat.

If it's Skeleton Horse, the field of vision isn't as wide, and the exploration speed will be much, much slower.

"New Continent No. 1 Outpost"

Chen Fan was standing at the entrance of the Vehicle Workshop, building Giant Turtle and Sea Ship. He had stopped sleeping and had originally intended to take a nap, but after being woken up, he couldn't fall back asleep. He then input the building parameters into the machine.

The Lord then went to the seaside.

Standing by the Seaside.

Looking out over the sea, the hundreds of relatively densely packed, craggy Island resembled a fragmented continent, with numerous Eerie Stones and destroyed defensive fortifications on each Island.
