Chapter 849 Chapter 85 Encountering the Ghostly Legion
Wang Bing and Chu Fei stood on the armored vehicle in the front. The tracks of the vehicle crushed the gravel on the ground, leaving deep marks on the earth.
With a high temperature of 60 degrees and the bright sun, the direct temperature has exceeded 80 degrees. Chu Fei's perception swept around and "saw" the soldiers who looked like they were made of steel, and he couldn't help but admire them.
The soldiers, each with a cultivation level of at least 10.0, obeyed orders.
Such an army made Chu Fei feel an unspeakable danger.
Chu Fei had a vague feeling that when he faced the seven 13.0 masters of the Spark Mutual Aid Association, if these seven guys were like these soldiers now, he would probably have to run away.
The biggest difference between soldiers and ordinary people is that ordinary people will scatter and leave their friends behind when faced with danger, while elite soldiers usually react by saying: I'm blocking the muzzle of the gun, you guys hurry up and kill this guy.
Chu Fei was still thinking, Wang Bing said: "Why don't you speak?"
Chu Fei: "I was shocked by the general's army. It's the first time I've seen such a mighty army."
"Haha, even though I know you're talking nonsense, I'm still happy."
Chu Fei:......
Wang Bing: "You said you have seen ghost-like life forms before?"
Chu Fei: "A lot, and I killed quite a few. These methods of mine are all based on experience gained from using a large number of similar lives."
Wang Bing nodded slightly, and said in a more serious tone: "If no soldier dies this time, I will owe you a favor."
Chu Fei looked at Wang Bing in surprise.
Wang Bing said quietly, "You have to love what you do. Since you are a soldier, you have to accept death. You have to eat and drink well at ordinary times, but you have to stand up for me at critical moments. This is the duty of a soldier. Therefore, we must explore the secret realm of Gaia, regardless of your suggestion or not.
But as a general, I must be responsible for the lives of my soldiers. If the method you mentioned is correct, it can not only save the current soldiers, but also save more soldiers in the future. Then I owe you a favor!"
Chu Fei nodded slightly, "I see. As for my suggestion, I can only say that it was correct in the past. But each type of soul has its own characteristics, and I cannot guarantee that the method is correct.
But now that I'm here, I must be the first participant.
I can't guarantee that the soldiers won't die, I can only say that I will definitely be on the front line! "
Wang Bing turned his head and looked at Chu Fei. After a while, he patted Chu Fei's shoulder again and said, "Okay, when you come back this time, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Chu Fei smiled and did not refuse. The reason why he said this just now was to get to know Wang Bing. A general like this who has not moved for more than 30 years is worth winning over.
At the same time, Chu Fei was also reflecting in his heart: It's not that I'm too mercenary, it's just that in this environment, I have to make as many friends as possible to gain the greatest benefits for myself. Besides, I took a risk by coming here to demonstrate these methods, and I did save more soldiers' lives directly or indirectly, so it was natural to win over Wang Bing.
A cement road appeared on the ground ahead, the terrain began to drop, the temperature began to rise, and a hideous rift valley appeared in front of Chu Fei.
Chu Fei silently looked at the Great Rift Valley in front of him, feeling somewhat surprised, "It feels like the entire Great Rift Valley was split apart by an immense force."
Wang Bing: "Scientists believe that it was caused by a meteor that brushed past the surface. Before the Yanhuang civilization arrived here, this planet had no atmosphere and was completely exposed to the void. There are several such rifts, but this is the largest."
"I see." Chu Fei suddenly realized, and then sighed, "No matter how great one's personal practice is, it is always pitifully small compared to nature."
Wang Bing smiled slightly: "But we can continue to become stronger. Legend has it that this world was created by Pangu! At least, this is the belief of martial arts!"
"The belief in martial arts?" Chu Fei thought thoughtfully.
As the team continued to move forward, the temperature around them became higher and higher, but there were also more and more people here.
There is a gate built with steel supports in front of us. The gate is hundreds of meters high and has four large characters "Gaia Secret Realm" hung on it. The steel emits a rolling high temperature under the scorching sun.
Chu Fei just took a quick glance and used his perception ability to determine the temperature of the steel: 97℃!
This damn place, any ordinary person would be cooked in minutes.
Although the "isotherm" here is a 1.5-degree area, we all know that the temperature is measured meters above the ground, not where the sun is directly shining, let alone the ground temperature.
There are two gatehouses on both sides of the gate, one with "North Pole City" and the other with "Antarctic City".
The team stopped at the gate of Arctic City, verified their identity, and continued on their way.
Chu Fei looked ahead and could vaguely see a hazy, somewhat illusory portal. It looked a bit like a portal made of rising hot air. The portal was irregular, much like a crack on an old wall. It was about a hundred meters high and more than thirty meters wide, and a bit twisted. It was close to the ground and 17 meters wide, allowing for free entry and exit.
Wang Bing said to Chu Fei: "Once you cross this gate, you will enter the Gaia Secret Realm. It's not too late to regret now."
Chu Fei shook his head. "By the time I decided to enter and make the news public, it was already too late. Let's go. I want to see what the ghosts here have."
The convoy didn't slow down at all and went straight into the secret territory.
After passing through that light "membrane", Chu Fei immediately felt the difference - the operation of the cosmic brain was slightly accelerated! However, the acceleration was not large, and it obviously did not reach the level of the higher-dimensional world.
So, there are high-dimensional laws here, but not high enough! Or you can call it a "high-dimensional projection".
Some shadow-like "plants" can be seen around.
However, "non-living matter" such as rocks and mountains is based on the real world. In other words, the world at the moment is very much like a "shadow world" that grew out of the real world.
Looking around, you can still see people and things in the "outside world", but they seem to be reflections in the water and cannot be touched. There are slight ripples on these people and things, like reflections of the lake, slowly rippling in the spring breeze.
The armored vehicles rolled over the "houses" and "people" just like rolling over their shadows, without causing any impact at all.
Chu Fei found it interesting. Although he could see the situation outside from the Gaia Secret Realm, it was like two parallel worlds that did not interfere with each other.
Such a strange scene made Chu Fei couldn't help but marvel at it.
Wang Bing looked at Chu Fei, "Never encountered this before?"
"No. That's why it feels so magical. Some of the secret realms I encountered before were like a separate space capsule, which was built by the Yanhuang civilization.
Specifically, it captured some fragments from the dimensional space and then left portals in and out of the real world.
This is the first time I have encountered two completely parallel worlds to the real world.
It feels pretty magical.”
Wang Bing didn't laugh: "It's magical, but it's very dangerous here."
Chu Fei looked around and saw that there were many people exploring here, but they were all very cautious. There was only one person like Wang Bing who led the army straight in.
Although the maximum exploration depth is 150 kilometers, it does not mean that there is no danger within 150 kilometers. Reality is not a game. It does not mean that the enemy will not come if you sweep the battlefield.
After advancing for about ten kilometers, Chu Fei suddenly discovered a special life on the high ground in the distance: it was a "person" more than three meters tall, riding on a "sheep", quickly passing by in the distance; its figure kept flashing and could not be locked at all.
Chu Fei felt that this "person" was on patrol and saw that his group was about to go back to report the news.
"It's a ghost!" Wang Bing also discovered this, "It's too far away, at least four kilometers away!"
The tank with a laser cannon nearby scanned the target, but it was difficult to lock onto it because the distance was too far and the target was moving too fast.
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes, "I'll do it!"
With a flash of his figure, he actually rushed directly to the chariot next to him, pushed two soldiers aside, and with a glance, he knew how to use the laser cannon, and then started the minimum attack.
A tiny attack landed next to the "ghost", missing it by three meters.
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes, calculated quickly, and the laser cannon was fully charged.
0.2 seconds later, Chu Fei attacked again.
All I saw was a laser that was brighter than the sun and instantly penetrated a distance of four kilometers, accurately hitting the ghost that was running and dodging.
A spark exploded, and then the ghost's figure shook and suddenly fell down; the "sheep" under it circled around the ghost, then ran away, bypassed the high ground in an instant, and disappeared.
But Chu Fei had already arrived on another chariot, and a cannonball flew out; with Chu Fei's dynamic vision, he could see the cannonball go around the hill and fall down.
Then there was a flash of fire from an explosion, and you could actually see a "sheep" being blown into the sky!
Chu Fei clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and take a look at the spoils."
Wang Bing stared at Chu Fei blankly, with an indescribable shock in his eyes. As a veteran, Wang Bing knew too well the difficulty of Chu Fei's operation just now.
Although lasers are fast, it is not easy to accurately hit a target running far away. There is a certain delay from laser excitation to emission. This delay can be ignored for ordinary people, but it is a huge loophole for experts. This is also a common problem faced by experts in weapons and equipment.
Then there are artillery shells. It is not so easy to attack targets behind hills. Artillery shells can more easily accomplish the so-called "cross-fire".
Chu Fei didn't say anything, and the team moved forward quickly. Two minutes later, everyone finally reached the hillside and saw the ghost with a hole in the waist.
This ghost was more than three meters tall. Even though it was seriously injured, Chu Fei could still sense the danger. At this moment, this guy was glaring at Chu Fei and his party.
Chu Fei looked at this ghost, a human-shaped body that seemed to be made of light smoke and was a little black. It had a pair of black curved horns on its head, four arms, and muscles all over its body like rocks. It was wearing clothes that also looked like light smoke - slightly whiter.
The face looks a bit like an ancient ape, a bit abstract, but still somewhat human. It just has no eyebrows, which makes it look weird. The eyes are as black as ink, and the entire pupil is black, which looks very evil.
When Chu Fei and his group approached, the ghost first looked at Chu Fei and Wang Bing who were walking in front, and suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a faint light directly at Chu Fei's face; the figure bounced up instantly, and the wound on the waist disappeared instantly.
A transparent defense appeared in front of Chu Fei. With a "dang" sound, Chu Fei actually blocked the ghost light.
The ghostly figure had already come in front of Chu Fei, but at this time Chu Fei had already deployed the "net of heaven and earth". The ghost that rushed to Chu Fei was instantly trapped in the mud and its movements became slow.
Chu Fei turned to Wang Bing and smiled, "This spell of dragnet is still effective, but this ghost is quite powerful and cannot be completely restrained."
As he spoke, Chu Fei stretched out his hands, as if to hug the ghost; but the energy field around Chu Fei began to stir, and a slightly harsh sound was heard. Then the field in front of Chu Fei was seen shaking violently, and the surface of the ghost's figure was shaking violently like the surface of water, and then the ghost's figure began to shrink.
"This is ultrasonic compression!" Chu Fei still had the leisure to chat and joke with Wang Bing.
The ghost began to struggle and roar, but could not escape Chu Fei's oppression.
Chu Fei had been compressing the three-meter-tall ghost to a height of one meter. Chu Fei's face flushed a little, and he suddenly said to Wang Bing: "Kill it quickly! This guy is too high-level, I can't compress it. This guy seems to be transforming through my compression."
Without saying a word, Wang Bing pulled out an energy gun and fired three shots at the ghost's head, chest and abdomen.
The ghost's resistance disappeared, and Chu Fei's compression took effect. The ghost instantly turned into a fist-sized ball. Chu Fei continued to compress it, but he could not compress it any more.
Then Chu Fei took out two pieces of gold from his body, and he pinched them with both hands. After a while, he had pinched the gold into two semicircular shells, about five centimeters thick. Then he stuffed the ghostly compressed ball into them. After the gold box was closed, he used ultrasonic cold welding to completely seal the box.
Then Chu Fei threw it to Wang Bing, "This is compression. In principle, compressed ghosts or similar life forms lose their activity or fall into a deep sleep.
But this compression was a bit thrilling. I didn't expect that this ghost could actually practice through compression. It seems that the method needs to be changed. At least two people in a group, one for compression and one for shooting. If there are three people in a group, it would be better, and one is responsible for preparing the golden box. "
Wang Bing frowned slightly: "Does it have to be a gold box? Can it be gold-plated inside?
With the current usage of the golden ball, the global golden ball can capture millions of ghosts.
The Gaia world covers the entire globe, and it is estimated that there are no less than one billion ghosts in it."
Chu Fei looked at Wang Bing, "General Wang, one million golden balls are enough.
This compressed and sealed ghost can be sold. This is a good thing. Didn’t I say before that after killing this ghost, a soul bead will appear?
Of course, if you only want soul beads, it would be too troublesome. In addition to soul beads, you can also perform sacrifices, refine weapons, etc.
A lot of spiritual practices require the use of the soul or something, doesn’t this already exist?
Finally, Arctic City has such strong research capabilities, so we can research new materials.”
Wang Bing's eyes gradually brightened.
Chu Fei continued to move forward, and then he saw the crater of the shell explosion and the "sheep" going away. The explosion only blew the sheep away with the shock wave, but did not cause much damage to this guy.
After looking at the "sheep" for a long time, Chu Fei turned around and asked Wang Bing, "General Wang, should we continue to move forward? This guy is likely to have gone to inform the enemy. If we continue to move forward, the danger will be out of control."
Wang Bing hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Keep going. It's only a short distance, less than 150 kilometers. We have explored to a depth of kilometers before."
Chu Fei nodded, "Then let's keep going. By the way, I estimate the combat power of that ghost just now to be around late 12.0."
The team continued to move forward, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed. They had penetrated about 80 kilometers into this world. On the distant hills, a light black "wave" appeared.
"It's a ghost army!" Wang Bing frowned and said in a serious tone, "Why are there so many? There is no such thing in the previous exploration data!" (End of this chapter)
