Chapter 323: We're Back

But after crossing more than a dozen kilometers of turbulent rivers, Zhang Hao suddenly saw a clear lake. There are beautiful islands with blooming flowers.

The clear and clear lakes, the dotted verdant islands, everything is so beautiful. It's like a fairy tale world.

After experiencing the magnificent and dangerous green sea of death, suddenly seeing such a beautiful scenery, many people ran to the side of the boat and let out bursts of amazement.

Only Hua Baixiang smiled faintly, reached out and shot a small fireball, and flew towards a 'small island'.

As soon as the fireball flew out of the side of the ship, it quickly grew larger, and by the time it reached the top of a 'small island' directly in front of it, it had already turned into a raging fire of hundreds of meters.

But when I saw that the 'flowers' on the island suddenly came to life, they turned into snakes and danced - the flowers turned out to be all kinds of snakes!

And the island also moved, and it turned out to be a 'snapping turtle' that was almost thirty meters longβ€”in a shell similar to a turtle, wrapped in a fierce body like a crocodile.

At this moment, the beautiful lake boiled. The beauty fades in an instant, revealing the hideousness of nature!

Those bewitching 'flowers' turned into countless long snakes, of different sizes, lengths, thicknesses, and colors.

Some snakes spit black water arrows from their mouths, some attack like water patterns, some send out icicles to lift up the lake, and some attack directly with their tails.

The snapping turtle also moved, and the snapping turtle that bore the brunt of it roared, and the majesty was full of anger and murder. The fanged mouth opened to reveal teeth like blades.

The snapping turtle's ferocious eyes stared at the steel giant ship that was rapidly crushing, and roared again, but saw that the whole lake was boiling, and all the 'small islands' began to change, and hundreds of snapping turtles quickly rushed towards the battleship.

Countless demon snakes hissed and rushed into the sky, forming a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun.

The lake was filled with the neighing of poisonous snakes and the roar of snapping turtles, and suddenly black clouds appeared between the heavens and the earth, and the turbid waves were surging, and the calm lake instantly turned into an infinite forest.

The sky was overcast, the gloomy water vapor was tumbling around, and the wind began to swirl and let out a chilling howl.

Zhang Hao nodded to Dugu Junjie, and Dugu Junjie shouted: "Attack freely!"

In the next moment, the cannon erupted in a roar - at all times, there were shells in the chamber, and there were many kinds of shells, so that they could respond to changes at any time.

Under the dim skylight, the light of the artillery was extraordinarily bright, and the flames erupted more than ten meters away, illuminating the nearby water surface and sky, and some shells fell into the water, but the water surface suddenly bulged up one after another'small hills', and the next moment the hills erupted, turning into water columns and splashing in the sky, and some unlucky snapping turtles were overturned by the shells on the spot.

Some of the water columns even rushed up dozens of meters into the air, washing away the demon snakes gathered in the sky.

There were also a lot of airburst bombs that exploded in mid-air, and the demon snakes in the sky were instantly emptied of dozens of holes, and the sky fell one by one.

But that's just the beginning. The three 460-mm guns in the bow of the Iron Duke were finally raised and fired a volley at the maximum elevation angle, with a very steep trajectory; the bow was almost pressed down by the recoil of a meter, and the stern was warped; the waves rolled around it, and the waves exceeded the deck height, but they were blocked by the barrier.

The shells flew at a height of five or six kilometers before they began to turn around and accelerate down. It took about half a minute before the shells finally landed and plunged headlong into the bottom of the lake.

Then, within the field of vision, half of the lake began to bulge, and then was broken by madness, at that moment it was like a volcanic eruption, the water waves rushed to a height of hundreds of meters, dozens of snapping turtles, countless poisonous snakes were washed into the sky, and many died on the spot.

The waves trembled violently, and the waves rushed up to the shore behind him thirty or forty meters away, and the entire Skull River was muddy.

The remaining demon snakes and snapping turtles struggled in the waves, screaming in terror. Under such a violent explosion, any magic power was too scared to use it.

"Go on!" Zhang Hao stood at the bow of the ship and coldly continued to give orders. After that, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Hua Baixiang, and the meaning was self-evident - to show you the power of the steel battleship, and let you know why we crossed the green sea of death!

The battleship began to accelerate, and the artillery constantly overturned the water in the distance, and this wide lake was completely muddy, and the once clear water began to turbidize.

At close range, ballistas with ropes were fired, and sharp bolts pierced the carapace of the snapping turtle, and then ...... Dragged onto a battleship!

These snapping turtles struggled frantically, but to no avail. One by one, the crossbow bolts were fired, and in a moment the struggle stopped.

There were explosions everywhere in the sky and water, and all kinds of demon snakes in the sky were shattered and broken in the explosion. At the heart of the explosion, there was even a mist of blood. Maybe many demon snakes can be equivalent to the Jindan period, but under this large-scale explosion, they are still powerless.

There were also many demon snakes and snapping turtles attached to the bottom of the battleship, but the battleship opened the barrier and kept advancing, and the surface of the battleship's barrier began to appear one after another sword lights. The sword light sliced through the surrounding water, at least enough to neutralize the underwater attack.

On the ship's side, a field of ballistas erupted, clearing the underwater threat. The two warships swapped left and right, cleaning each other's underwater parts.

Zhang Hao looked at the battle in front of him, took out a small book and recorded it: the next step should be to develop depth charges, torpedoes, etc. With the current accumulation of technology, it may be enough to develop these things. If you really can't do it, just use spells and wait for a while.

However, Zhang Hao has always firmly believed that the technology cannot be reached at all, and the use of spells and formation assistance is to promote the seedlings, which can only solve the needs of the moment and cannot last long.

In Zhang Hao's view, physical technology and formations are somewhat similar to computer hardware and software, which is weak, but physical technology is fundamental.

Even if it is a traditional magic weapon manufacturing, it needs a good embryo to attach a high-level formation, and then an excellent magic weapon can be refined. If you use ordinary low-purity Xuantie, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the energy of the formation at all, and I will collapse.

Zhang Hao was imagining here, but Dugu Junjie had already commanded the battleship to start a big strangulation. These snapping turtles are almost as close to their infancy, but their main defenses are not strong enough to stop artillery and ballistas, and their attack power is not enough to destroy steel warships, so they are hunted at this time.

A group of soldiers with an average cultivation barely exceeding the foundation building period manipulated powerful weapons and started a wave of crazy hunting, and a large number of demon beasts equivalent to the Jindan stage and the Yuan infant stage died tragically.

The net was sprinkled, and the floating snake on the water was dragged up. In order to prevent problems, come up and seal it first, then open the net, and then pile the sealed things into the warehouse, seal the insurance and keep it fresh again - and then deal with it when you return to the country of Qixia. With so many snakes, there must be something good. And the snapping turtle, too.

After more than an hour, the battleship turned the lake several times in a radius of more than 20 kilometers, and then continued to swim upstream. At this time, there are almost no snapping turtles left in the lake.

It was only at this time that Hua Baixiang finally sighed leisurely: "Very powerful battle." But it always felt a little bulky. ”

"Flower protector, this is in the interior. If you get to the sea, you will understand. None of the warships here can accelerate, and the fastest speed is only thirty kilometers. And on the sea, it can run 110 kilometers at a speed, almost four times as fast as it is now. ”

"That's still very slow! You can reach this number casually in a foundation building period!" Hua Baixiang has understood the concept of kilometers and hours. The incarnation period is very easy to learn.

Zhang Hao smiled and didn't explain, this flower Baixiang was obviously raising the bar. That's a typical disbelief, sour heart.

Sure enough, after a while, Hua Baixiang sighed again, "It's a pity that you can only sail on the water, not to the sky." ”

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, you really dare to think about it - but this is the so-called picking a bone in an egg. And judging from the current situation, it is simply unrealistic to want to send this behemoth to the sky.

Ay...... A flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Hao's head -- I'm going, why did I forget the airship! Also, I have been busy with sea traffic for a period of time, and I have almost ignored the airship. Well, after going back this time, be sure to study the airship!

To study airships, you also need to study the high-altitude atmosphere and aura. Young Master Zhang's thoughts are off topic again......

After continuing for about 300 kilometers, the two warships moved with great difficulty until the evening, and finally they could no longer move forward, and even because of the narrowness of the river, they had to cautiously retreat as much as a kilometer before they found a place to make a U-turn. The battleship anchored here, and Hua Baixiang simply flew away, saying that he would come back tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Hua Baixiang really came back again, followed by thousands of masters, Yuan Infant Period, Jindan Period, roughly estimated at least five thousand, in short, there was a feeling of overwhelmingness, like a dark cloud rushing in.

When Zhang Hao saw this, his heart was still a little trembling; if so many people were in trouble, his two warships would not be able to escape at all! But fortunately, nothing went wrong.

After these people came to the shore, under the command of Hua Baixiang, they used spells to level a piece of flat land that was almost a kilometer long, and then everyone sat on the spot one after another, took out a large number of medicinal materials from the storage ring, as well as a large number of fine gold, mythril and other relatively excellent spiritual materials, and began to set up stalls.

And Zhang Hao commanded the battleship to move down a large amount of dark iron, pills, steel, etc. An unprecedented grand deal began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the transaction was going smoothly, Zhang Hao smiled. The worst feared thing didn't happen after all. In fact, as Zhang Hao expected, the Red Lotus Sect also needed a lifeline.

Hua Baixiang flew to the bow alone and found Zhang Hao to negotiate the artillery.

"Zhang Hao, the Red Lotus Sect has sorted out our existing exercises, secret methods, formations, etc., which are about ninety percent of the Jindan period and below. Except for the core exercises of our sect, almost all of them are here. ”

As he spoke, he took out three boxes of jade slips, and Zhang Hao took a cursory look, and in the largest box, there were almost three thousand jade slips, which were exercises. There are also formations, spells, etc., as well as the knowledge of some alchemy refining tools.

It really deserves the power of a holy place...... Well, it's the power of half of the Holy Land, although these things are relatively ordinary, but there are too many of them, and the Jiuyang Sect didn't have one-tenth of these at the beginning!

However, after Hua Baixiang opened the box, she looked at Zhang Hao with a smile, "Although these things are ordinary, there are too many of them, if they are just artillery...... I'm afraid it's not enough!"

Zhang Hao simply took out a jade slip, "Flower Protector, please see, everything is in here." However, how many things can be exchanged depends on the value of the jade slip on your side. Of course, there is only a brief introduction in the jade slip. ”

Hua Baixiang took the jade slip and looked at it for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up. In this, there is 60% of the technology of mass production of Xuantie - this has been released for free in the land of Qixia, but this technology is still precious.

As for the technology of artillery, it includes complete drawings, gunpowder technology, and a large number of detailed parameters of the artillery.

In addition, there are ballistas, as well as a lot of blueprints of war weapons - yes, Zhang Hao also took out the drawings of war weapons on the side of Qixia Country, anyway, he doesn't need them anymore, of course he has to waste them.

Finally, there is also information on battle formations and strategies in large-scale wars. But Zhang Hao sorted it out after he saw the war here.

In the war that Zhang Hao observed last time, although there were spells, there were no large war machines, let alone military discipline and strategy, etc., and the two sides were more like a melee.

Not a lot of things, but all of them are crucial. Hua Baixiang hesitated for a long time and had to start a conversation with Zhang Hao's profiteer.

The two were at loggerheads and refused to give in to each other, and they actually discussed it for more than three days. But on the whole, it is still Zhang Hao's profiteers who have the upper hand, because what Zhang Hao takes out is what the Red Lotus Sect needs, and what the Red Lotus Sect takes out is not what Zhang Hao 'must's - that's what Zhang Hao said anyway!

In the negotiation, Zhang Hao pressed step by step, and in the end, Zhang Hao obtained two volumes of precious 'secret methods' from Hua Baixiang's hands - earth fire to wash the body, burning immortal energy, and the level of the Yuan Infant Stage!

"Earth Fire Cleansing Body" is a precious secret method in the Red Lotus Sect, which can further strengthen the body, refine the body, cooperate with some powerful pills (such as the Life Creation Pill, etc.), and can also supplement the problem of the foundation - this is very precious.

The body is strong since the back, and the realm is more easy.

There is also "Burning Immortal Strength", which is a powerful combat technique and attack method; Hua Baixiang demonstrated once, turned into a flame knife, and almost split a mountain with one palm, and was melted by the rock at the attack location, which frightened Zhang Hao's heart and liver.

Immortal Burning Energy can convert the true element in the body into a powerful high-temperature attack, and the attack power can reach 200% of its maximum combat power!

However, each attack will take a toll on the body, and you must cooperate with the "Earth Fire Wash Body" to withstand its powerful impact.

The most important thing is that these two secret methods cooperate with each other, and even if you are a master of the Transformation Period, you will have a significant effect - Hua Baixiang herself is an example!

Although these two secret methods are not exercises, they are more precious than the ordinary peak exercises of the Yuan Infant Stage.

Hua Baixiang got all the technology that Zhang Hao took out, visited the steel battleship, and learned about the general structure, and both parties were very happy.

However, there is one point to point out in particular: many key components of the artillery need to be purchased from the Ocean Group. For a short period of time, the Red Lotus Cult did not have the ability to 'produce artillery completely independently'.

In the past three days, the trade on the shore has also ended, and the stocks of the two warships have been emptied, in exchange for mountains of medicinal herbs, as well as many precious spiritual materials.

In the past few days, Zhang Hao also got another statement of the 'Tiandu faction' here in Hua Baixiang: when Zhang Tiandu sent the head of the sect to find that the eldest disciple was not as good as the second disciple, he wanted to pass on the position of the head of the sect to the second disciple;

Zhang Hao was skeptical of both sides' claims, but then again, these things did not affect Zhang Hao much for the time being. Zhang Hao was concerned about the situation in the country of Qixia. It's been almost 20 days, and time flies so fast.

In the past few days, there is another person who is busy - Zhao Dahe is very busy. He measured the length of the shadow of the stick at noon, and measured it repeatedly.

The battleship stayed here for three days, and finally anchored at noon on the fourth day. The sailors began to cheer and went home.

Hua Baixiang watched the battleship move slowly, and couldn't help but shout: "Zhang Hao, don't forget to bring a large number of artillery parts, steam turbines, and the kind of steel sword bars that have been folded and forged next time." ”

"Remember!" Zhang Hao shouted, waving to Hua Baixiang, and also to everyone on the shore, which was regarded as a farewell.

In the past few days, Zhang Hao has a general understanding of the environment here, and the Turbulent Continent seems to be inconsistent with the legend - there is no sunshine, it is difficult to survive, maybe this is not the southernmost place, maybe it is not summer. Check it out in the summer.

In addition, although it is said to be a demon cult here, except for the war I saw at the beginning, I have never seen any other conflicts. Of course, Zhang Hao didn't go out for a walk.

For the first transaction, it is mainly prudent and try not to make extraneous branches. In fact, in this transaction, both parties are more restrained, and both want to create a perfect deal to lay the foundation for future development.

For more communication, and even understanding, wait for next time.

The battleship slowly accelerated, and returned to sea in the evening of the same day. However, the battleship did not immediately head north, but continued to sail into the depths of the sea, in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Holy Fire Cult in the north.

Zhang Hao believed that after so many days, the Holy Fire Sect in the north must have learned the information here, and now he doesn't know whether he regrets it or is in a state of annoyance, but Zhang Hao is still careful.

The battleship rushed into the sea more than 100 kilometers in one breath before turning around and heading north.

Sprint at full speed along the way, because to take care of the speed of the battleship Zhiyuan, the forward speed is maintained at 110 kilometers.

As we move north, the temperature begins to drop,

All the way through the starry night, on the way back, I unexpectedly encountered an unwilling mirage. However, Zhang Hao was very domineering this time, and when he saw that the sea was foggy, he immediately ordered the battleship to attack. Then, the fog quickly dissipated, and the battleship crushed the broken ice on the sea that had not had time to subside, and rushed straight over.

It wasn't until the battleship rushed over that the sea rolled again, and the two mirages cautiously poked their heads out to take a look, and finally reluctantly burrowed back into the sea.

The battleship did not slow down, and encountered many times of compass confusion on the way, but under the guidance of Zhao Dahe, the battleship hardly changed its direction.

The battleship is like the thoughts of everyone returning home.

On the morning of the sixth day of the gallop, there was a light snow in the sky, and the icy sea breeze whistled to every collar, but everyone was excited, and their eyes were full of expectation. It's cold, does this mean that you have to go home?

I remember that when I first set off, it was also at this temperature.

But Dugu Junjie stood at the bow of the ship, frowning slightly. He was afraid, afraid that the ship would run over!

This is the sea, there is no reference. The range of the lighthouse is also limited, especially in the daytime, and the light of the lighthouse is even more invisible.

Zhang Hao proposed: "Dugu, why don't we sail to the northeast for a while, wait until tonight, and see if we can see the light of the lighthouse."

In terms of time and distance, we should approach the west of the Fertile Continent. ”

Dugu Junjie looked at the seawater, the sea was still inky black, and there were no seabirds or anything like that in the distance, so he could only command the battleship to sail in the northeast direction after thinking about it.

In the evening, the sailors on the lookout shouted, "Seabirds!"

Many people immediately rushed to the bow of the ship and looked forward to it. Even Zhang Hao couldn't help but rush to the bow of the ship to take a look.

If there are seabirds, there must be land nearby!

As the waters began to lighten, Dugu Junjie slowed down the battleship and slowly moved north, waiting until night fell and began to search for the lighthouse's light.

At midnight, the night sky in the northeast appeared with a faint glow, but it attracted everyone's attention in an instant.

"It's a lighthouse! it's a lighthouse! it's home, it's home!" the sailors shouted, and everyone hugged excitedly on the deck.

A smile appeared on Dugu Junjie's face: "All the artillery is ready, and the high-explosive shells are fired." Tell the shore that we're back!"

(Sorry, late.) This chapter has been revised quite a bit. After thinking about it in the end, I still cut a lot of plots and simply returned. The affairs of the Continent of the Turbulent Land will be put later. οΌ‰
