Chapter 343: Heavenly Veil Behemoth
The sudden zoom in and out of the field of vision made even Midi a little overwhelmed for a while.
After a while of adaptation, Midi was finally able to use this "insight" skill to detect targets a thousand kilometers away.
He still remembered very well which direction the fleet of the sect headquarters had retreated three days ago, so he naturally looked at that place first, but in the airspace within a range of five thousand kilometers, he found nothing.
Then, Midi began to expand the scope of the investigation even further, and scan in all directions, but in this huge starry ocean, it still felt like a needle in a haystack.
In the end, Midi finally found a way, and that was to search for such a thing as "resources".
Even if I can't find your place, at least, I know you'll need all sorts of resources.
By looking for floating islands and floating island rocks with abundant ore veins, it may be easier to run into the enemies of the sect's headquarters.
In a way, this goes beyond a simple military search and uses more adventurers, or hunters, tracking skills.
Just as prey can always be found near the water source of the forest, a resource gatherer can be found in the densely populated areas of the starry ocean.
This time, it took two full days, and after searching for a large number of veins, Midi finally found a clue.
He discovered a vein that had been mined.
That floating island contained a wealth of red flame crystals, which were necessary to make Demon Realm warships, and most of the imitations made by Blood Purification were Celestial Realm warships.
Not only that, but the distance between the area and Bloodhell Island was so far away that it was impossible for Marcel to send someone to mine the veins at such a distance.
There, it could only be the veins of the sect's headquarters.
However, the floating island seems to have been abandoned for many years, and upon closer inspection, Midi found that the place was inaccessible to people, and the original barracks and other buildings had long since collapsed.
But this is not a problem, since the footprints of the beast drinking water have been found, then as long as you follow the vine, you can naturally find more clues.
Sure enough, just over two hours later, Midi's eyes crossed nearly 6,000 kilometers again, and he directly saw a vein being mined.
Judging by the clothing of the miners and the style of the airships they used, they were undoubtedly members of the Sect's headquarters.
Without any new searches, Midi kept the Hundred-Eyed Lord's eyes firmly on the floating island, and then began to wait patiently.
Since it is to mine resources, there will always be a moment when they will be sent back to the base camp, and at that time, they can follow all the way back.
As Midi had predicted, the ore mined that day, after a simple initial refining, was quickly transferred to a refinery.
Midi's gaze naturally followed the past.
The next day, the refined ore from the refinery was sent to another, larger floating island.
Judging from the dock located around the floating island, it is clear that this is an alchemy factory for the manufacture of warships, and the surrounding layers of protection prove this.
However, although the stakes are high, this is not the destination of Midi.
What if you destroy the alchemy factory with all your might?
The fleets that exist at the Sect's headquarters aren't going to disappear just because of that.
On the contrary, the already small fleet on Midi's side may have suffered heavy losses by forcibly attacking the most important places.
With both sides possessing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, it can be said that there is no hiding place in this starry ocean, and there is no place to maneuver, and every troop deployment and every vital facility will be exposed to the opponent's sight.
In addition, the air battle itself has no defensive line and no depth, and the fleet can reach its destination in a very short time as long as it is dispatched.
Therefore, the only way now is to attack each other and solve the problem quickly.
The key to victory or defeat lies in who can find the opponent's most important points first and take them down in the shortest time.
Obviously, Midi's side is at a great disadvantage.
Because you only have two important lands, Bloodhell Island and Emile's forward base.
These two important places have already been discovered.
Not only was it discovered, but it was also attacked, and much of the infrastructure was destroyed.
No matter how much they moved the floating islands and facilities, with the strength of the sect headquarters, Midi didn't think that the other party would be easily stumped by such a simple and clumsy cover-up.
For Midi's side, even if he found a few key points in the sect's headquarters, such as the alchemy factory and the shipyard, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.
Let's not mention whether it can be defeated, even if it is defeated at a relatively small cost, so what?
The foundation of the sect's headquarters is too rich and too large. Accumulating thousands of years of capital in a place like Xingyang, how can one or two failures break your muscles and bones?
Therefore, Midi's only choice is to find the most important part.
Let the failure of the sect headquarters be magnified tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
Let your own side, with just one victory, be able to establish an advantageous situation.
There is only one key point like this.
That's the Heavenly Veil Behemoth.
The huge flying whale, which was hundreds of kilometers long, was the headquarters of the sect and the hiding place of the supreme powerhouse.
Only by finding the Heavenly Veil Giant Beast and killing the Supreme Powerful can it be said that it has caused fatal damage to the Blue Truth Sect.
Therefore, even if he discovered all kinds of key points such as alchemy factories, potion factories, dockyards, etc., Midi remained silent.
The only thing he was concerned about was the location and whereabouts of those in charge of these sects.
The hunter continued to watch, searching, tracking, waiting for the biggest and most desirable prey to appear.
Finally, after Midi had searched for a whole week with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, an opportunity finally appeared in front of his eyes.
A Mind Flayer Envoy entered Midi's field of vision.
He wasn't a combatant, but a patrolman-like character, puffing back and forth between several different points of service aboard a lavishly decorated battleship.
And at the end of the day, when all the important places had been visited by him, the Mind Flayer ship flew in a direction that Midi had never explored before.
The battleship flew higher and higher, rising and rising, almost climbing to the dome of the starry ocean, and the bright stars seemed to be within reach at this moment.
And in the cold glow of the stars, a shadow that obscures the sky and the sun is moving at a slow but steady pace.
As the distance between the battleship and the shadows grew closer, so did Midi's line of sight.
It wasn't until she got close to the shadow that Midi realized that the so-called "slow speed" was just an illusion, and when she actually came to the shadow, she realized that it was an extremely amazing forward speed, but because the shadow was too large, it would only produce a feeling of slowness.
Finally, the light dawned.
The darkness fades and the light returns.
The impenetrable haze above the behemoth has finally dissipated.
It's a huge whale.
On its back, there are mountains, water, farmland and streams, as well as ruins and dense forests, everything that should be on a continent, there are all here.
Just seeing this behemoth, even if it was more than 7,000 kilometers away, Midi felt as if he could feel that ancient aura that was far away and awe-inspiring.
This is the Celestial Veil Behemoth, the largest creature in the starry ocean.
And with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's incomparably powerful vision focused, Midi easily locked onto the backs of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, the scattered temples built on the mountain.
These temples are like vines entwined around the trunks of trees, winding upwards as if they were signposts.
As the temples extended their gaze, Midi's vision quickly fell into the deepest part of the mountains, about where the second spine of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth was located.
There, under the natural barrier of the mountains, sits a huge temple.
There, the main shrine of the Blue Truth Cult, once enshrined a large number of relics written by the explorer Leslie.
And now, it is the place where the mysterious and powerful Supreme Mighty resides.
Midi froze and was about to urge the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's insight to look directly inside the temple to see what was going on, but at this moment, an overwhelming darkness struck, obscuring Midi's vision entirely.
Not only can you detect the prying eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, but also have the ability to block it?
Although Midi had been extremely jealous of this supreme powerhouse since the previous life, he was still taken aback at this moment.
It is extremely difficult to spy on this with super visual power, and it is even more difficult to completely block this kind of snooping.
Unexpectedly, this supreme powerhouse was able to do this, and it didn't seem to be difficult, just doing it casually.
Could it be that the other party's strength has already recovered?
Midi's heart suddenly sank, and his face became ugly.
After the appearance of the Eye Demons, a race from the Shadows, it seemed that everything had become unpredictable.
In fact, perhaps it is precisely because of some kind of difference between the Supreme Strong and the previous life that it will bring about a series of chain reactions.
And if a supreme powerhouse recovers, then there is no doubt that Midi will have no chance of winning.
After all, the so-called "Supreme Strongman" is a second awakened person who has surpassed the 85-level cap, an existence of the same level as the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar, a legend within a legend, a legend within a legend.
A strong person like this, even if he recovers a little bit of strength, is enough to sweep the entire starry ocean.
Midi deliberately spied on the temple where this supreme powerhouse was, and in fact, there was no lack of temptation elements in it.
It's just that he didn't expect to test such a result.
Just as Midi's heart was uneasy, a distant and ancient voice rang out.
"The inheritor of the Sea Emperor's inheritance, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way. The voice sighed deeply, and there was no hint of self-deprecation in it, "But that's fine, it's so far away, I don't need to spend extra effort to curb the mutation of my flesh in order to keep you safe." ”
