Above the clouds.

The rose-red light cluster at some point rendered a strange basket of purple.

The heavy clouds also add a bit of gloom.

The chaos monsters formed by the condensation of clouds and mist hovered wantonly in the sky, devouring the creatures that came and went.

Until the front end of the dragon boat collided with the horn and rushed out, knocking its torso into pieces, and the huge hull followed closely behind, crushing the fog that barely wanted to reunite.

Yan Jing stood in the middle of the city tower, his gaze cast forward, and his gaze suddenly froze.

In the distance, the clouds seem to be much thinner.

He saw several large rocks slowly spinning in the air......

"Is there a special zone around here?"

A large number of floating stones made Yan Jing immediately think of the situation on the Wisteria Plateau, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, we have walked this waterway for decades, and the location of the special areas along the way is very clear!"

Holding the navigation chart in his hand, Shen Qiong was also quite surprised at this time, paused, and shouted to the team members on the foredeck,

"The observation station is in an area of about three kilometers ahead, everyone should pay attention to alerting the whole ship to combat readiness!"

The team members finally checked the equipment they were carrying, gathered near the ship they were about to ride, and the weapons on the foredeck were quickly activated as the order was given.

On both sides of the ship, steel guards hung down, and pitch-black gun muzzles peeked out of them.

There are also several turrets and electromagnetic towers rising one after another, and follow-up weapons are endless.

This dragon boat, which had been hovering in the sky of the Divine World for many years, was finally able to show its fangs that had been hidden for many years after receiving the blessing of the source blood.

No matter what's ahead, there's always a good time to be prepared.

It's just that they will soon find out that the weapons of the dragon boat are sometimes not as useful as they imagined.

As the distance continues to close.

The full extent of the anomalous area was gradually revealed.

As Shen Qiong said, there is no special zone ahead.

It's just that there's something more peculiar than the Alien Zone.

I saw that above the height of 10,000 meters, I don't know when countless stones were gathered, they were of different sizes, some were more than 20 meters in diameter, and some were only two or three meters, with irregular concave and convex shapes.

The only similarity is that they are all moving in the same direction, and they look like asteroid belts on the periphery of some planets.

The scale of coverage of this scene that everyone on board the Sky Survey is quite extensive, at least for now, there is no end in sight, and it does not exist only in a plane like a real asteroid belt.

It is a sphere, as if something is wrapped inside.

"If the route is correct, the area ahead is the area where the observatory is located, and it stands to reason that it should not be there...... What is that? ”

Shen Qiong was a little puzzled and compared the route map, the situation around here was far from what he remembered, and when he was confused, he suddenly seemed to have found something, and raised his finger to a certain place in front of him.

I don't know when, in the center of the sphere formed by the many stones, a large cloud of strange colored light actually appeared.

With the help of binoculars, everyone quickly saw what it was.

Observatory!

It's just that compared to the image I saw on the design drawings this morning, the environment around the building in front of me has changed.

Spheres of rubble with a diameter of more than a kilometer surround the observatory, and in the core area, a large number of trees resemble coral bushes but glow with strange phosphorescence.

They cast distorted light and shadow at all times, making it difficult to see what was actually going on inside the observatory.

Even though Yan Jing and the others had only discussed how to deal with the Chaos Monsters entrenched in the observation station not long ago, the situation in front of them was still beyond their prior expectations.

"There are so many stones gathered here, and the way they turn...... Gravitation? ”

As an ordinary person, Zhao Henian could not understand the strange scene in front of him, and could only speculate through his own knowledge.

"It should be the ability of the Chaos Monster, that guy in the observatory is even more powerful than we thought!"

Staring at the gravel that was still floating and spinning in front of him, Fu Shudao's face was solemn.

Generally speaking, the strength of Chaos Monsters can be judged by the range of influence they can have.

At this time, the anomaly around the observatory is at least kilometers in diameter.

As you can imagine, the guy who caused all this is anything but ordinary.

To add insult to injury, it was the Scourge that forced the Sky Survey to abandon the observatory in the first place, and their attention was focused on how to escape the catastrophe, and there was no record of what happened inside the observatory.

In other words, the Sky Survey has so far had zero knowledge of the monster entrenched in the observatory!

The plan that had been intended to rely on the approaching artillery bombardment of the Sky Survey to overturn the past had now lost the possibility of execution, and Yan Jing and the others had to think about how to break through the outer defenses of the observation station.

"Don't rush over and fire a cannon or use a drone to test it."

Forcing his way inside directly was obviously asking for trouble for himself, and when things came to this point, Yan Jing also knew that he must not be in a hurry.

"Understood, a group, a salvo from the port side, the target is selected in the gravel belt in front, and at the same time as the passage is blasted, send out a swarm of drones, as close as possible to the observation station, and the Venerable will test the situation inside it."

Although the person who gave the detailed order was still Shen Qiong, he did not use "I" in his words but changed it to "Venerable".

Yan Jing glanced at the few people next to him a little strangely, Zhao Henian was expressionless, as if he took it for granted, while Fu Shudao nodded, showing a somewhat satisfied look on his face.

Obviously, after Yan Jing agreed to Fu Shudao's plan last night, these people had already passed the qi internally.

In the face of increasingly difficult situations, the Sky Survey needed a strong leader more than ever to reinvigorate the confidence of the ship's people, and this was already a tacit agreement reached by Fu Shudao and his colleagues in private.

Tong ~ Tong ~ Tong ~

The roaring artillery fire drew Yan Jing's attention back.

Because it was only a tentative attack, this round of salvo was not of much scale, and more than a dozen shells dragged the narrow tail flame directly into the gravel belt, unsurprisingly causing a series of explosions.

However, what happened next made the hearts of several people on the city tower sink in unison.

It is common sense that a large number of stones from an explosion will be scattered and projected by the shock wave, but the reality is that only the stones in the outer area follow this rule, and the stones that are splashed inward only advance a short distance.

At about ten meters, the speed of the debris decreases dramatically, and a few meters further in, it immediately becomes part of the floating rubble.

At the same time, the same situation happened to the drones that flew out with the firing of shells.

They made their way down the passage, which was smooth at first, but as they progressed, the crew responsible for controlling the drone reported that the machine was starting to become uncontrollable.

Through the binoculars, Yan Jing could clearly see that the drone, which was originally able to fly smoothly, began to sway left and right after going deep into a certain distance, and after a short loss of control, it crashed into the surrounding rubble without accident.

Immediately after that, like the rubble from the explosion just now, it was carried into the rubble belt outside the observation station, completely out of the control of the Sky Survey.

"Judging by the current situation, there is an extremely strong gravitational field around the observatory, and it will increase with distance...... Do you have the equipment to solve this problem? ”

Sensing the reason for the abnormality, Yan Jing touched his chin and turned his head to ask Fu Shudao.

"A simple gravitational anomaly can be overcome by gathering the ship's own ability, just like we are in the Wisteria Terrace, and the floating stone can stabilize the ship to a certain extent and keep it flying."

Shaking his head, Shen Qiong explained in a deep voice,

"The problem is that the special gravitational field around the observatory is most likely caused by the Chaos Monster, which means that it is very likely to be able to control the state of the gravitational field, and once our ship enters and encounters a drastic change in the gravitational field, the consequences are unimaginable."

In an open high-altitude area, the change in the gravitational field can be overcome in various ways, and no matter how bad it is, there is room for retreat.

However, the large area of rubble in front of me is the complete opposite.

Not to mention the influence of gravitational fields, even if everything is normal, you have to be careful not to be hit by stones.

If the problem of the gravitational field inside the gravel belt and its interior cannot be solved, it will be impossible for the Sky Survey and the gathering ship to get close, and at most they will provide long-range artillery support, and the test launch just now is enough to prove the effectiveness of artillery support.

"As always, prepare a gathering boat to send me over."

At this point, Yan Jing realized that if he wanted to make progress, he still had to go into battle in person.

In this regard, Shen Qiong and the others felt helpless, and they could only choose to believe Yan Jing.

The current Sky Survey has been weakened too much by years of harsh environment, and the remaining strength is simply not able to deal with this special situation in front of it.

If they want to retake the observatory, Yan Jing is their only hope.

Instructions are given.

The converted collection ship quickly set sail, carrying Yan Jing straight to the gravel belt.

"Stop, that's it."

Looking at the anomalous area dozens of meters away, Yan Jing could already feel the abnormal gravitational pull in the environment.

Different from the low-gravity environment of the Wisteria Terrace.

There seems to be an invisible vortex around the observatory, absorbing all objects that try to get close.

The ship hovered, and the tiger firefly flew out with Yan Jing in his bearings, rushing straight into the gravel belt.

Compared with the gathering ship, the tiger firefly is undoubtedly more adaptable.

Although it cannot avoid the influence of gravity, its sensitivity can play a big advantage at this time.

The stones on the periphery of the gravel belt do not move fast, and not only does the tiger firefly not need to deliberately dodge, but can follow the guidance of gravity, use the stones as pedals, and rush forward quickly.

Occasionally, small rocks that are difficult to avoid or trample on can be broken directly with tentacles.

Yan Jing, who was lying on the back of the tiger firefly, grabbed the tentacles extending from the former's neck to stabilize his body, and his eyes were always staring ahead.

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

Suddenly, Hu Hota's figure stopped for a moment.

The gravitational pull in the surrounding area rises sharply.
