Chapter 1250: Chapter 1236: Deep Pit
The flying airship flew directly into the Wailing Land.
The time limit for completing this nightmare task was a month, so Baiyu wasn’t in a hurry.
The Wailing Land was vast inside.
Because it was a complete battlefield, it covered many areas.
Inside it.
Both the ground and the sky were filled with thick black fog, visibility was extremely low, and beyond five meters, it was completely impossible to see clearly.
This black fog not only blocked vision but also hindered spiritual perception.
Baiyu’s spirituality was also difficult to extend.
It was about only five or six meters in range.
Baiyu went to the cultivation room of the flying airship, where Lovka was wearing a black vest, punching a training dummy continuously.
The sound of punches spread around.
Lovka’s muscles bulged like little mice, sweat poured down like rain, making him look extremely robust.
"How is it? Is this your first time at the Wailing Land?"
Seeing Baiyu come over.
Lovka continued to punch the dummy, while smiling and asking.
Baiyu nodded: "Yes, it’s my first time. This black fog is interesting, whether it’s vision, sound, or spiritual detection, it seems to only reach five or six meters."
"Yes."
Lovka’s punches made the dummy sound with loud thuds: "I have no idea what this black fog is, but they formed after the last battle in the Demon Realm ended and gradually enveloped this battlefield.
Sometimes cries can be heard in the black fog.
That’s why it’s called the Wailing Land.
It’s exactly because of these black fogs that this place seems so mysterious and unpredictable.
But don’t worry.
I have a sealing object, its needle always points to the capital of the Holy Central Continent, which is the Imperial Capital.
We can rely on it to determine our location."
As he spoke.
Lovka took out a compass-like dial.
The needle on it remained motionless, always pointing in one direction.
It seemed this was one of Captain Lovka’s preparations.
He had come to the Wailing Land before, and this time he was familiar with it. As a captain of the Imperial Star Realm Army, Baiyu thought he definitely had many resources.
"Father Geman, do you have any objectives for this time? In the ruins, you might encounter anything."
Lovka asked.
Baiyu replied with a smile: "I hope to encounter some members of the Demon Race. Lately, when I sleep, I keep dreaming of wounds and knives.
I think this is a sign from God, guiding me to kill a few more members of the Demon Race."
"I see, then maybe you really might encounter them. Occasionally, there are sightings of demons in the Wailing Land, but they’re usually just a few small fry, because there are two large military camps stationed nearby."
Lovka put away the compass.
Previously, the flying airship had docked at a nearby military camp. It had already developed into a large town, looking quite impressive.
During their conversation.
Suddenly.
The continuously moving flying airship came to a halt.
Lovka’s expression lit up with joy: "It seems we’re there."
The two of them walked to the airship’s deck.
Darkness was still all around, and under the cover of the black fog, it was basically impossible to see anything clearly.
But as the airship gradually descended.
Baiyu began to see.
Below, there was a huge hollow space, at least ten football fields in size.
Inside it was pitch black.
It was impossible to see what was there.
The ground had collapsed into a massive cave.
On the surface, the flying airship seemed to have landed, but it was actually floating in the air, just level with the horizon.
Captain Lovka glanced at the cave below, then said in a deep voice: "Continue descending, the position of the ruins is just below. This recently collapsed, and a team of explorers has already gone down there. Although they didn’t gain anything, they’ve confirmed a ruin is down below."
At this moment.
Captain Lovka gave the order.
The flying airship continued downward.
The expedition teams hitching a ride on the ship also began to equip themselves, eager to jump off at any time to explore the ruins.
An unexplored ruin was indeed a huge temptation.
Baiyu estimated the distance.
The airship descended about 300 meters.
Then.
It steadily docked on a piece of open ground.
The surrounding black fog remained thick, but the expedition teams had already set out, with their special methods to determine positions, so the black fog was not a danger for them.
Lovka also donned an electronic instrument.
Including his personal guard, each one wore this electronic instrument, reportedly to constantly display their position and facilitate simple communication.
The expedition teams relied on this to ensure their teammates didn’t get lost in the fog.
"Captain, don’t you have another way to confirm positions?"
At this moment.
Baiyu asked.
Captain Lovka shook his head and replied: "The electronic instruments work well, and in many places, we use them to communicate amongst ourselves without any issues."
"But in strange places, electronic devices might lose functionality. I have a method that can temporarily put everyone into a hidden state, allowing them to perceive each other’s positions."
Baiyu suggested.
Upon hearing this, Captain Lovka, adhering to a principle of safety, agreed to Baiyu’s plan.
After all.
When exploring such places, no one would mind having an extra safeguard.
The method Baiyu proposed was naturally to use Black Moon’s Spirit Technique to bring everyone into a hidden state.
Then, in this state.
They could see each other.
After setting up this layer of hidden state, Baiyu felt relieved, as his experiences on the Canglan Star made him aware that electronic devices were often unreliable.
After stepping onto land.
Captain Lovka, leading a group of people, began to walk in the direction of the ruins. He had done his homework beforehand, knowing the exact location clearly.
The expedition teams did not wander around aimlessly.
They also had their own investigation channels, but following Captain Lovka clearly seemed safer and easier.
The thoughts of these expedition teams were simple.
Those less capable would explore the periphery, while the more powerful ones could delve deeper, perhaps even accompanying Captain Lovka.
As long as they followed the captain’s rules.
He would be willing to cooperate with them,
as seen from the past, Captain Lovka was a very reasonable person, as long as no one impinged upon his interests.
So each expedition team had its own plans.
Soon.
The main party arrived at a complex-looking stone forest.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
Seeing the stone forest ahead, he felt a sense of foreboding. The stones were covered with a jumble of symbols, seemingly man-made, yet with no traces of human craftsmanship.
"It feels dangerous here."
Baiyu said to Lovka.
Meanwhile, the other expedition teams began entering the stone forest. Since this was the periphery of the ruins, there shouldn’t be any dangers, and for those not planning to go deeper, this was their main hunting ground.
