Chapter 315: Advance
Due to the exceptionally generous rewards for this expedition mission, whether it is from the income of the expedition studio or the income of the explorers themselves, the more people the better, so several expedition studios have used almost all the manpower that can be used.
Even, there are two studios in the heart of making a little more money, and even some novice explorers who have just joined the company have been pulled over, which has caused the strength level of explorers to become quite mixed.
Fortunately, the situation has gradually improved with the pace of military exploration.
After all, it is a plateau operation, not to mention that their target is the Sakya Peak, the highest peak on the planet, with an altitude of more than 30,000 meters alone, which is definitely a considerable test for some low-strength explorers, even with various materials and auxiliary equipment provided by the military, it is difficult to provide the most complete combat power.
Therefore, when the altitude reaches more than 5,000 meters, basically all the novice explorers below the second order of the domain basically quit the exploration mission, and when the altitude reaches 10,000 meters, even the general explorers of the second order of the domain begin to withdraw.
Although they didn't stick to the end, the gains they obtained with a few days of income have caught up with all the original gains of one or two months, which is already a big profit, so there are no regrets.
Compared with the huge gains made by the explorers, the exploration gains on the military's side seem to be a little pitiful.
Although a lot of beast materials were collected by the explorers during the journey, it was definitely a state of making ends meet for a joint expedition that had to spend a lot of money every day, and it was an extremely loss-making business.
However, this is just the opposite of ordinary people, for Luo Hao, who understands the essence of the purpose of this expedition, he knows that the mission of this expedition is going very smoothly, so he does not have the slightest contempt in his heart.
No matter what country it is, the meaning of the "Lord God" is extraordinary, not to mention just spending such a small amount of cash, even if it costs the entire country several years of financial revenue, as long as you can get control of the "Lord God" base, it is not a loss.
Luo Hao had seen the location of the base projected to him by Ollie before, and it was already close to the summit of Sakya Peak, at least above 30,000 meters above sea level.
Therefore, Luo Hao knew that the main combat forces hired for this expedition could not be those ordinary explorers who couldn't even carry tens of thousands of meters, they were just a cover for the military's official intentions, and the impact of their existence on this expedition was almost zero.
If Luo Hao's guess is correct, the main combat power of this expedition should be those domain-level peak and transcendental-level explorers, and even the elite-level explorers can provide quite limited combat power in this expedition.
Knowing this, Luo Hao was also a little happy in his heart.
Although after becoming the captain of the expedition, Luo Hao's performance became low-key, but after all, he is also the original rookie king, and he is also well-known in the entire explorer circle.
Otherwise, with the ability that Luo Hao showed before, he was afraid that he would have to stop halfway up the mountain, even if he insisted on it, he would at most go to a position of more than 20,000 meters, which was still a considerable gap from the 30,000 meters he wanted to go.
In this way, as the altitude increases, the number of mountaineering explorers also decreases sharply. On the other hand, the beasts that infested the mountain peaks had a higher and higher level of strength.
The elite-level beasts that originally appeared at the foot of the mountain had all disappeared into the shadows as early as a few thousand meters away, and the rest were all kinds of beast lords and low-level beast kings.
These species have survived and multiplied here tens of thousands of years ago, and have long adapted to the low-pressure and cold climate of the mountains.
However, after all, this is a joint expedition operation of the five super-first-class exploration studios, coupled with the strong support of the military of the Great Xia Kingdom, these problems are only a small trouble after all, that is, the speed of the expedition team is slightly slowed down, and it is not a big problem at all.
The real tricky thing for the expedition team came when it was just over 20,000 meters away.
Boom! Boom!
A terrible cry rang out over Mount Sakya, and thousands of falcons circled around them, waiting for the call to attack.
Now that the altitude of the place where the expedition team stayed has reached a considerable altitude, those who can hold on to it are at least elite-level explorers, but it is also quite difficult to face the attacks of so many falcons.
Of course, it's not because of how strong the falcons are, it's just that in such a harsh environment, it is quite good that most people can save more than half of the battle in battle, and they can basically only use it for self-protection, and there is no way to organize an effective counterattack.
Seeing that the progress of the expedition team was blocked, the group of extraordinary masters finally couldn't sit still, and as soon as they made a move, there were three, all of them were from the military, and the person who took the lead was Luo Izumo, who had a high reputation in the entire Great Xia Kingdom and even the world.
"Holy Light Verdict" Luo Izumo, who stepped into the transcendent realm more than 30 years ago, is known as a genius-level figure known as "once in a thousand years", and is one of the current five-star generals in the military.
The record of the youngest transcendent master she set that year lasted for thirty years, and it was not until two years ago that Wen Ruyu of Fenghuo Studio was able to break through after she had evolved strongly to transcendent at the age of twenty-nine.
Such a genius-level figure, after such a long period of precipitation, has long broken through to a rather terrifying level of combat effectiveness.
According to Luo Hao's preliminary observations, the strength of Luo Izumo's energy field is at least eight or nine hundred meters or more, and judging from the quality of its energy particles, the control ability has already reached the micron level!
Luo Hao weighed it a little in his heart, if he relied on the explosive power of the energy field alone, the winning rate of him and Luo Izumo could only be four or six, and it was Luo Hao four and Luo Izumo was six.
Such a legendary figure is indeed worthy of the name of genius.
The combat effectiveness of these falcons is actually not high, and their individual strength is only a junior beast king, but they are superior in number, so it is quite difficult to deal with.
In particular, they still have a demon king-level leader in control of the situation, so if it is an ordinary transcendent, it is basically only the share of being tortured and killed.
But Luo Izumo is different, she became famous thirty years ago, and years of precipitation and accumulation have made her strength reach a rather terrifying level.
It was just a wave of attacks, Luo Izumo didn't even use an energy weapon, it was just an alienation attack with the special energy of the light attribute, and he directly killed five or six hundred eagle falcons in an instant, and for a while, a large area of the hillside was dyed blood red by the flying beast flesh and blood, and the scene looked extremely shocking.
"It seems that this Luo Izumo is really not as simple as I thought."
Feeling the vibration coming from Ollie's body, Luo Hao's face showed a bit of solemnity.
