Because above three thousand meters, Gang Wind ravaged the area from time to time, making it difficult for the Seventh Grade Earth Evil to fight in such environment.
The harsh conditions of the Southern Desolate weren’t all due to innate reasons. The Heavenly Witches of Southern Desolate also actively cast spells to purposely damage the Heavenly Time, forming a protective barrier to hinder Great Zhou’s advancement.
The Arrowfish Flying Boat was a Fifth-Order Lower Grade Warship that, when flying within the Gang Wind, would see its speed decreased and its core propulsion materials consumed more rapidly.
After an hour, Zhao Xing descended again to an altitude of a thousand meters.
By now, he had reached the front lines, over five thousand five hundred miles away.
Originally, Zhao Xing could spot quite a few of Great Zhou’s cities during his flight.
But now, the number of these cities had decreased, and following the map, it would take a long while before he could spot the next one.
Just as Zhao Xing thought he would safely reach Supply City Number Ninety-Two,
Zhao Xing suddenly felt a premonition and looked towards the horizon ahead.
"Long Xiao, come out quick!"
Long Xiao immediately rushed out.
"Is there a situation?"
Zhao Xing pointed in a certain direction.
"Look toward the southeast, ascend by a hundred meters, there are traces of the enemy."
Long Xiao looked up but saw nothing.
Because he couldn’t see any enemy at all.
Zhao Xing didn’t explain and immediately turned the Flying Boat in the southeast direction, quickly advancing ten miles, and flew up an additional hundred meters to reach the ’Gang Wind Layer’.
Zhao Xing used the Swallowing Cloud Skill to form a long and narrow path of clouds, adhering to a certain part of the sky.
Zhao Xing ordered the cloud formation to turn blood red—this was the ’Blood Cloud Camouflage’ from the Swallowing Cloud Skill.
Long Xiao became excited, "I see it, the trail of a Netherflame Warship."
"Right." Zhao Xing nodded, "The Netherflame Warship of the Southern Desolate is crafted entirely in imitation of Great Zhou’s ’Split Flame Warship’. Its Yang Wind Sail, Fire Cloud Sail, and the Five Elements Flag can conceal the warship’s tracks, allowing it to remain hidden even within the Gang Wind."
"However, the material used by Southern Desolate is Netherworld Rock, which has a flaw: it leaves a faint layer of fog at the tail end of the ship, akin to a boat traveling through water, displacing water outward with significant disturbance."
"Although Southern Desolate has improved it many times, and the traces are now well camouflaged, only spanning a mere twenty meters wide, but within an hour, they can still be detected."
"If it exceeds that hour, I would not notice any abnormalities in this layer of Gang Wind either, as it would be quickly dispersed by the wind."
Long Xiao, also a man who had fought many battles under Chen Shijie, understood as soon as Zhao Xing explained, "So you’re saying, a warship of the different race just passed by, within an hour"
Zhao Xing stared at the long trailing path, pondering, "Judging by the width and concentration of the dispersing mist, it should have just passed half an hour ago."
Long Xiao quickly pulled out the map and slid his finger across it, "Three hundred miles in the southeast direction, there is a military Supply City belonging to the Zhenhai Army."
"Eight hundred miles ahead, there are three Supply Cities, belonging, respectively, to the Zhenhai Army and Xuanjia Army."
"What a catch, these Supply Cities are no small thing, we’ve stumbled upon a big haul!"
Zhao Xing nodded, "Correct. If they dare to attack these cities, they must be led by someone of the Seventh Grade, the Netherflame Warship is Fifth-rank top-quality, capable of carrying three thousand-man battalions and equipped with a giant City-breaking Divine Weapon... Long Xiao, are we doing this?"
Long Xiao laughed, "You’ve already got the ship speeding along, and you’re still asking me if we’re doing this? Of course, we are! But, can we catch up?"
Zhao Xing said, "The Arrowfish Flying Boat is a lightweight model, its speed is its strong suit. The Netherflame Warship, in order to hide its trail, cannot possibly travel too fast. In half an hour, I should be able to catch up to them by the time they reach the Zhenhai Army’s city."
Next to them, Long Aotian roared to the sky, "Mew~"
Long Xiao unsheathed his large sword from his back, "Hahaha, look, Ao Tian is telling us to charge. Hurry, hurry, don’t skimp now, taking them down will be a great achievement! Quick, give the warship full speed!"
