CHAPTER 1162: CHAPTER 895: FROM THE SNOWY MOUNTAIN TO SEVABURG_2

"...Two little ones..." The voice of the Mountain Range Giant God rumbled in their souls, "...I just want to sleep here for a few thousand years. But have you come here to wake me up on behalf of Yan Duo?"

"No, no, no..." Xu Cheng shook her head, using all her knowledge to reason with the Mountain Range Giant God, Bubble also shook her head, the two of them reaching a unanimous frequency, "Yan Duo is waiting for you, Yan Duo is waiting for you!"

"...Yan Duo?..." The Mountain Range Giant God pondered, transmitting thoughts to Xu Cheng and Bubble while starting to move. With its movement, the ice crystals sealing the Mountain Range Giant God’s body began to crack, countless fractures emerged, and the entire Great Snow Mountain hummed.

"Gua gua!" Xu Cheng was scared, hastily waving her hands, "Go back to sleep! There are monsters outside."

"But Yan Duo is waiting for me..." The Mountain Range Giant God pondered, "If I don’t leave here, how can I contact Yan Duo?"

"Bo bo!" Xu Cheng felt filled with wisdom, "We are envoys, responsible for transmitting information across different places! We can just take your message to Yan Duo."

"...Hoo... Tell Yan Duo: we have seen unimaginable beauty. Then bring its response back." The Mountain Range Giant God closed its eyes, its awe-inspiring, lava-like glowing eyes returned to slumber in the depths of the snowy mountain.

Xu Cheng quietly and slowly pulled the shuttle machine back, and the snow mountain returned to infinite calm, as if the Mountain Range Giant God’s brief awakening had never occurred.

Bubble swallowed with difficulty, looking at the vast, silent snow mountain, where the falling snow layered, seemingly allowing the Mountain Range Giant God’s slumber to be even more peaceful.

Xu Cheng dared not linger, quickly piloting the Sky Patroller back, patting her chest, she took a deep breath.

"Just a bit more, a little more and that guy would have crawled out, I’m afraid if it starts moving, the whole Great Snow Mountain would collapse, so we definitely have to wait until everyone is settled, evacuate the village people, the people in the temples, and then let it come out. Big guys walking around on the ground would be so troublesome." Bubble said to Xu Cheng.

"Gua gua." Xu Cheng scratched her head, feeling small and humble in front of such a giant god.

But if "gua gua" were to punch it, even the giant god would fall, Xu Cheng thought.

Nevertheless, they had longer-term missions, needing first to deliver goods to Taixi Continent, then return home, back to the Northern Archipelago to find Yan Duo.

Xu Cheng invoked the power of Ripple circulating within herself, meditating, breathing, until the others returned.

Shahua and Lianhua made several trips to the Village of Budan in the past few days, trading and bringing goods meant for sale from the shuttle machine—medicines, spirits, tea, coffee—and exchanging them for the valuable yak hides, milk, meat, cordyceps, amber, snow lotus in the villagers’ hands, the local people were very simple, exuding a wild beauty.

"We’re going to get rich!" Lianhua handed the money to Xu Cheng, handling the buying and selling, they earned about 10,000 in total, she gave Xu Cheng 8,000, and only took 2,000 as her wage, showing reasonableness.

"The next place doesn’t require funds for transactions." Ming Gongqiao said, "——Sevaburg in the Crimean Peninsula, Pioneer Community."

"A place without money, everyone’s as poor as me, hehe..." Shahua said.

"Are we leaving? Anyway, we’ve finished everything here." Lianhua packed the remaining items onto the shuttle machine.

"Let’s go!" Bubble nodded.

"Gua gua." Xu Cheng waved at Huaicang.

"Compassionate indeed." Huaicang stood by the runway, turning to look at the Sky Patroller shuttle machine ready for takeoff, "Are you leaving now? Truly trustworthy envoys, always on the road."

"Gua yay." Xu Cheng bid farewell to Huaicang.

"Be sure to come back." Huaicang also saw Xu Cheng off, "Safe travels!"

Xu Cheng waved, ran back to the Sky Patroller, and forcefully sealed the hatch.

Perfect team! Xu Cheng once again confirmed everyone’s duties.

Captain: Xu Cheng. The most skilled pilot and driver, though small in stature, versatile and talented.

Navigator: Bubble. Responsible for establishing stable flight routes in confusing times and spaces, crossing danger zones as efficiently as possible.

Logistics Administrator: Lianhua. Manages supplies, equipment, maintenance, and business details, sometimes making a little extra.

Scout: Shahua. Responsible for monitoring the instruments, reporting any suspicious findings, and using radar to survey the nearest locations.

Weapons Operator: Ming Gongqiao. Monitors threats, targets enemies, and shoots them down in unavoidable combat, so Xu Cheng can focus on piloting.

"Fuel is complete, all green lights, ready for departure." Shahua spoke softly.

"Cargo inventory complete, next stop, Sevaburg on the Crimean Peninsula, 2 tons of food, including rice, dried goods, canned food, plus 300 kilograms of tools and appliances, hydrogen batteries, shells, radios, and signal transmitters, payment 38,000 funds." Lianhua reported efficiently.

"Fire control systems operational, bullets chambered, shields effective, ready to fire at any moment." Ming Gongqiao reported accurately.

Time to head to the next location. Xu Cheng pulled down the control lever, the engines of the Shuttle Machine roared to life, evaporating ice crystals, the shuttle quivered slightly before stabilizing and soaring towards the sky!

"Stay safe!" Huaicang waved from the runway at the Sky Patroller, bidding farewell to the envoys.

...

The Sky Patroller entered the Forbidden Zone.

Luck was not on their side, there was no peace to speak of. Thirty minutes into the flight, Shahua reported an alert on the dashboard’s red dot.

"Enemies ahead!" Shahua shouted.

Xu Cheng piloted the Shuttle Machine through the clouds, this route would take five hours to fly, and it was quite troublesome. She lowered slightly to observe the radar alerts.

"Ah ah..."

"What is that...!" Lianhua was shocked, and Bubble held his breath.

Xu Cheng was startled as well, the scene below was horrifying.

She saw an incredibly gigantic monster, making the Mountain Range Giant God look like a mere dwarf in comparison. This creature resembled an ultra-giant worm, at least dozens of kilometers long, its massive and repulsive body crawled over the misty earth, spreading death and shock!

"What is this!" Lianhua was somewhat panicked.

Giant slug? Xu Cheng took a deep breath. Rather than a biological entity, it resembled some kind of movable land feature, crawling in the Forbidden Zone, its pale flesh had billions of unsightly folds, devouring soil and rocks, as if it would empty the entire planet, which to it was like an apple to a worm, inevitably to be riddled with holes.

The Forbidden Zone... The land of interdiction.

Even in the warring history of the Nestor Corporation, there hadn’t been a sight of such a planetary-scale ultra-giant beast, it could completely disdain human civilization, devouring everything everywhere, ignoring the last cries of human civilization.

Xu Cheng nervously adjusted her breathing, gripping the control lever. Luckily they were flying; encountering this alien giant slug on foot would be an unforgettable nightmare of despair. No, encountering this giant beast now was no different from a nightmare.

"Is this the Forbidden Zone?" Lianhua exclaimed, "It’s simply inexplicable power, no wonder we are doomed!"

Xu Cheng took another look at the giant slug below, this time closely.

——Scan——

Name: Unnamed Interstellar Colossus Creature

Appearance: Piling flesh like a mountain, otherworldly body, incomprehensible. No obvious important organs, muscle structure highly dense, its physical power and structure exploration is enough to open new alien biological studies.

Characteristics: Extremely high heat, enormous heat source, the existence of such a volume generates massive internal heat, akin to a volcano.

Intelligence: Bioelectric activity beyond measurement range, strong neural activity system and brain detected, intelligence likely surpasses known intelligent life forms, just unable to understand its mode of thought.

Energy: An unnatural gravitational distortion field surrounds its body, enough to bend light and radiation, emitting energy readings with no clear source, difficult to explain its activity principles.

Note: Don’t look, I’m scared!

Threat Level: Infinite

——End——

"It’s right below us, fly, Xu Cheng, fly now!" Lianhua urged desperately.

"More monsters are coming!" Shahua shouted. The forbidden zone around the alien slug had countless monsters, seemingly feeding on its secretions, black shadows attacked from the clouds.

"It’s all your bad luck!" Lianhua shouted.

"...!" Xu Cheng gritted her teeth.

"It was me who didn’t chart the course well!" Bubble despaired.

Ming Gongqiao operated the weapons, firing at the monsters, they must break through the encirclement!
