Chapter 189

"That sounds pretty good," Xia Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't that mean I can experience the feeling of flying?"

"Yes."

"Yay!"

The girl in the white dress raised her small fist and said happily, "I've never flown in the Land of Mist before!"

She seemed very excited and said impatiently, "Shen Xing, let's use this plan and get started!"

"Good."

Shen Xing smiled and then called out, "Fried Chicken, here you go."

"Whoosh..."

A huge shadow rose into the sky from the corner of the city wall, then rushed towards it with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent Hippogryph with a wingspan of over six meters stood steadily beside the wheelchair.

Shen Xing leaped lightly and was the first to jump onto the back of the Hippogryph.

Then, he looked at the blind girl in the distance, and gently extended his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

Xia Wanyin suddenly felt an invisible hand grab her waist and slowly tighten its grip.

"Relax, I'll take you up."

Shen Xing's voice rang in her ears, gradually putting her at ease.

The next moment, the girl in the white dress lifted off the ground and slowly rose into the air.

Then he grabbed me and placed me on the broad back of the Fried Chicken.

"Wow, Shen Xing, you've become so amazing! You can actually capture someone like that." Xia Wanyin sat down, looking surprised.

"Not bad. I just broke through to the Tier Two yesterday and mastered a few tricks for manipulating energy," Shen Xing replied.

"Manipulating energy..." Xia Wanyin nodded thoughtfully, "I've also broken through to the Tier Two, but I still don't know how."

"You don't know how?"

"Yes," Xia Wanyin said, "I heard from my friend that breaking through to the Tier Two only causes a surge in your physical strength and power."

"But to control this power, it will take a long time of practice to reach the level of energy projection you have."

Shen Xing was somewhat surprised to hear this, as he really didn't know that.

After all, he was already able to retrieve objects remotely, such as grabbing a water cup, when he was at the Tier One.

Upon reaching the Tier Two, he will naturally awaken the skill [Mental Energy Control], which allows him to grasp heavy objects.

Shen Xing originally thought that this was an ability that every Transcendent Rank powerhouse possessed.

The results now seem to indicate that this is not entirely true.

Am I really a genius?

"My lord, may I travel with you?"

Leina suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.

Shen Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can come too."

Anyway, given the size of the Fried Chicken, it can easily carry three or four people.

He initially planned to bring one or two elite soldiers with him.

"Yes, thank you, my lord."

Leina nodded, then leaped lightly.

Her red robes spun in the air like a flower of flames, her long hair flying as she moved before landing steadily on Fried Chicken's back.

"Wanyin, which way should we go next?" Shen Xing asked, sitting in the center, flanked by two girls with very different styles, but equally stunning.

Xia Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's fly about two kilometers to the southwest first. When I came here just now, I sensed a Black Crystal Sacrificial Tower there."

"Good."

Shen Xing nodded, then patted the Hippogryph's back. "Take off."

"Chirp!"

The Fried Chicken let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and carried them straight into the sky.

This guy ascended in a vertical line, causing the three people above him to lose their balance instantly.

Having had experience before, Leina on the left didn't hesitate to grab Shen Xing's left arm.

Caught off guard, Xia Wanyin leaned back and almost fell.

Shen Xing grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to his side. "Hold on tight."

"Okay... okay..."

Xia Wanyin turned pale with fright and gripped Shen Xing's right hand tightly.

After ascending to an altitude of several hundred meters, the Fried Chicken finally returned to a stable flight mode.

Shen Xing was about to take the lantern out of his backpack when he found that both of his arms were being held.

"Who will let go, or who will light the lantern for me?"

Upon hearing this, the two girls simultaneously took out a lantern and showed no intention of letting go.

After some friendly discussion, it was decided that Xia Wanyin would light the lantern first.

"Whoosh..."

An orange glow ignited, illuminating an area of 150 meters in radius.

The Fried Chicken, carrying three people, soared into the depths of the mist like a firefly high in the sky.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The cold wind howled, carrying moisture, and stung my face.

The maximum speed of Fried Chicken can reach four or five hundred kilometers per hour. At this speed, the sound of the wind in your ears can almost drown out everything else.

After the initial panic, Xia Wanyin has now calmed down.

"Is this what flying feels like? It's so exciting!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I want to train a flying unit someday, it's so much fun!"

She closed her eyes, opened one hand to feel the air rushing towards her, and held tightly to Shen Xing's arm with the other.

Shen Xing smiled and then asked, "Wanyin, is the Fried Chicken flying in the right direction?"

"Yes, we'll arrive in just two more kilometers."

"Good."

At the current terrifying speed of the Fried Chicken, two kilometers is just a matter of a few breaths for it.

Soon, they discovered the Black Crystal Tower that Xia Wanyin had mentioned.

The towering structure stood silently in the thick fog, its surface emitting a dark, eerie glow.

However, next to this crystal tower, a group of Lost One dressed in black cloth, their bodies charred black, had gathered.

"Fried Chicken, go ahead."

At Shen Xing's command, the Fried Chicken immediately transformed into a dark bolt of lightning and swooped down.

Like a high-speed flying scimitar, wherever it passed, the Lost One froze, then turned into a pile of wreckage.

With two consecutive dives, the monsters surrounding the altar were cleared out.

Shen Xing didn't even get off; he directly controlled the Hippogryph to land next to the altar, then lit the lantern.

"Buzz..."

The once-dim tower gradually began to glow.

And on the minimap, there's now another shiny green dot.

"Wanyin, next." Shen Xing clapped his hands.

Xia Wanyin sensed the surroundings for a moment, then continued, "Next, fly west for about 1.5 kilometers, and you'll find the Green Crystal Tower."

Without needing its owner's command, the Fried Chicken flapped its wings again and soared into the sky.

They continued at this pace, navigating through the fog.

The combination of ultra-fast Fried Chicken and Xia Wanyin, the humanoid scanner, renders the thick fog completely ineffective.

One by one, resource points were reactivated, and the number of green dots on the minimap increased.

In less than two hours, they had reactivated more than twenty resource points, an astonishing level of efficiency.

In the blink of an eye, they had activated all the resource points that had spawned within a ten-kilometer radius of their territory.

Meanwhile, the Fried Chicken continued its journey through the air.

As they passed through a grove of trees, Xia Wanyin suddenly said, "Huh? I think I've sensed a new resource point."

"A new resource point?" Shen Xing asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's something I've never encountered before," Xia Wanyin said. "It's on the left, about three kilometers away."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing immediately manipulated the Fried Chicken to turn around.

After a short flight, they quickly arrived at their destination.

At this moment, on the dark ground below, there is a raised earthen slope, about three or four meters high.

On the side of the earthen slope, there was a dark hole with pieces of dark stone around the edge.

When he focused his gaze, information about resource points appeared before him.

[Soul Stone Mine]

[Level: Medium]

[Current Status: Uncapable]

[Minable Soul Stone Ore: 31594/31594]

[Note: Mined Soul Stone Ore needs to be processed before it can be broken down into Greater Soul Stone and Soul Stone.]

Chapter 141: Occupying the Soul Stone Mine, Discovering the Rain God Statue, the Third Option!

"It's Soul Stone Mine, and a medium-sized one at that!"

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes instantly.

This medium-sized mine is extremely rich in resources; it was able to extract more than 30,000 Soul Stone.

It's worth noting that he only received 50 Greater Soul Stone as a reward for taking first place on the leaderboard, which is equivalent to 25,000 Soul Stone.

After two days of infrastructure construction, the supplies are almost completely depleted.
