The days of cultivation passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time to go to the capital to participate in the Five Academies Competition.

On a transport mecha that flew from Nanling City to the imperial capital, Zhang Qingyang and the other nine talents who were selected for the top ten, plus two teachers and a vice president who led the team, were escorted by two heavy firepower flying mechas, and traveled thousands of miles to go there to participate in the elite selection competition jointly held by the five academies.

The white clouds flew from below, and the sky was clear above, and the clouds and mist were shaped into strange shapes, slowly approaching and calmly leaving, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere floated around.

Compared with the military mecha that I have ridden before, this mecha is much more comfortable, the shell is like a bird and beast that is good at flying, so as to achieve the minimum wind resistance and maximum air lift, stretch out the wide wings up to 100 meters wide, and the cabin with a streamlined load on the back, which not only ensures safety and warmth, but also has transparent windows for observing the outside scenery.

The spacious cabin that can carry more than 100 people only carried a dozen people from Nanling Academy this time. Each person can occupy a row of seats, but three distinct communities are formed.

Needless to say, the pet beast branch and the mechanical branch are in a state of fire and water, occupying the front and back sections respectively.

The vice dean surnamed Chen and the two teachers were helplessly stuck in the middle, so as to prevent them from saying a word.

But in general, everyone is quite restrained, except for the initial bickering, after the mecha took off for a period of time, there is no interest in continuing.

Zhang Qingyang was sitting in the front window seat, looking at the sea of clouds outside through the porthole and was stunned.

On the voyage to the imperial capital, you must first cross the lofty mountains and mountains on the periphery of Nanling City. As one of the frontier war zones against the sandworms, Nanling City is a key pass, with mountains as thick as one or two hundred kilometers on the periphery, followed by flat plateaus, hills, and plains, until the imperial capital in the central basin.

Zhang Qingyang could clearly see the snow on the top of the mountain, the lush jungle on the mountainside, and even some strange beasts running between the snow and hills, a natural wilderness completely different from the city, full of vitality.

Some flying beasts sometimes appear next to the mecha, quickly flapping their wings to accompany them for a distance, and then they are thrown away at high speed, they are unwilling to scream, and finally helplessly lower their altitude and disappear into the clouds.

Beyond the mountains, wide valleys and uplifted highlands come into view, and further out, there are large areas of reclaimed fields that are interspersed for hundreds of miles, and many kinds of agricultural mecha of different forms run slowly in between, rivers and waterways crisscross and crisscross each other, and the white and bright belts are different in width and narrow, forming a wonderful atmosphere full of human life.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingyang spontaneously felt a sense of happiness, as a warrior, his mission is to ensure that this stability and tranquility will continue to exist forever and will not be destroyed by sandworms.

Under this premise, the dispute between the so-called mechanical civilization and the pet beast civilization is not so important.

"Senior brother, what are you looking at, so obsessed?"

Zhao Feiyu's soft inquiry came from the side, and Zhang Qingyang turned his head and saw her bright eyes, full of interest in understanding.

"Hehe, it's nothing, the first time I go out of the house, I feel fresh when I see everything. "He was honest and honest. Zhang Qingyang's family background is average since he was a child, and this is indeed the first time he has come to such a far place.

Zhao Feiyu pursed her lips and chuckled: "If you like it, we can find an opportunity to come out together in the future, whether it is a treasure hunt or a mission, you can enjoy it to your heart's content." It must have been much more interesting than this hasty glimpse of the fleeting glimpse. ”

Zhang Qingyang heard a hint of strangeness, and glanced at the side behind him out of the corner of his eye, and the former senior brother Li Beihai had a teasing smile on his face, and his face was slightly reddened.

At this time, someone in the back row snorted disdainfully: "Cut, I haven't seen the dirt buns in the world, make a fuss, and be embarrassed!"

Zhang Qingyang didn't want to deal with those guys in the mechanical branch, but Zhao Feiyu's face sank, and he scolded them with his eyebrows upside down: "You are not qualified to judge the senior brother! If you have that idle thought, it is better to think about how not to hold everyone back in the next big competition! The students of the Imperial Capital Academy will not let you, just don't embarrass us Nanling when the time comes." ”

"Hmph, it's also your pet beast warrior's business, we will definitely win glory for the academy, you just take a good look. ”

The other party was obviously not convinced, but in view of the defeat in the previous two battles, he was a little less confident in speaking.

A sneer flashed on Zhao Feiyuqiao's face, and she no longer cared about those people.

The teachers in the middle shook their heads helplessly, this contradiction cannot be solved from the root, I hope that after arriving in the imperial capital, it will not affect the overall performance.

At such a moment's notice, everyone lost interest in talking, and the cabin fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, a flashing red light lit up above everyone's heads, and at the same time, they heard an alarm from the mecha pilot: "Everyone, pay attention, there is an unidentified flying object approaching rapidly, be careful of the bumps and vibrations." ”

Zhang Qingyang happened to be looking out of the porthole at this time, and his excellent eyesight found that a huge shadow was flickering in the clouds in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the mecha escorting on the same side suddenly maneuvered and turned, and two thick smoke spewed out behind him, and rushed towards that side with a "boom".

Amid the piercing siren, a strong sense of crisis spread through everyone's brains.

The top ten talents are not in vain, whether it is mental power or developed neurons, they can sense the sudden threat.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the escort mecha rushed to the vicinity of the clouds in a blink of an eye, probably issued a warning but did not get a response, and opened fire unceremoniously!

This kind of high-level military unit is different from urban law enforcement, with a body length of seven or eight meters or more than ten meters, and the mounted weapons are at least small mouths and artillery, and the dense rain of bullets forms a fire whip and is fiercely pumped into the clouds, violently exploding and tearing open the cover, and a pitch-black strange bird with a length of nearly twenty meters is revealed!

This big bird is obviously a pet beast, and the face of its owner is completely hidden inside, only to see the big bird shake its wings gracefully and agilely, dodge the pursuing artillery fire in a flash, and roll sideways in the air for a few weeks over the escort mecha, its wings slightly retracted, the speed suddenly accelerated, and the giant arrow shot towards the transport mecha!

"Presumptuous!"

There was a loud shout from the transport mecha, and then the fuselage shook suddenly, and a dazzling flash lit up on the side, and a blazing beam of light suddenly shot horizontally, stabbing the strange bird in a fan-shaped face.

"Yo Yo Yo, don't be so angry, Lord Lu. ”

The strange bird let out a hoarse and ugly laugh behind it, and the figure exploded "bang" at the moment when the light pierced, but it appeared ghostly from hundreds of meters below.

With such a large size, it is so fast to use the shapeshift!

Zhang Qingyang paid close attention to the other party, and after the bridge of the mind was extended, he captured the energy fluctuations within several kilometers of the surrounding area, but he didn't even find out how it did it.

"This is a Xuanniao, the level is at least at the immortal level, it is very rare and dangerous!"

Former senior brother Li Beihai's expression was solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
