Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 1378 - 113: Jungle of Ruins

Capítulo 1378: Chapter 113: Jungle of Ruins

A surveillance drone popped out from the top of the Dawn Battleship, hovering at a distance of three hundred meters above the ground.

“Preliminary estimate, the distance is 110 kilometers, with an error margin not exceeding 1 kilometer,” Black’s voice sounded.

Mu Fan looked at the green ocean displayed on the light screen and the golden light at the end, his gaze calm, “So, in order to enter the ruins, I must cover this 100-kilometer distance?”

“That’s right, and the biggest problem now is that the energy compartment is constrained by an unknown force field, unable to generate enough energy to propel the battleship. As for the Mecha, Shura’s energy can no longer support another battle, and the standard Mecha might…”

“Die even faster,” Mu Fan casually added.

“Yes, the closer you are to the location of the ruins, the faster the energy decays. If energy runs out and these gigantic creatures attack, the chance of death approaches 100%,” Black continued, “Since the first visit to the ruins [Steel], several fuel-powered all-terrain vehicles were equipped inside the battleship. Traditional mechanical constructs are not affected here and can serve as your transport.”

This was the only piece of good news Mu Fan had heard so far, “That’s enough, Black, help me prepare supplies.”

“Roar~~”

A howl came from the warehouse behind Evil Wing.

“Evil Wing says it can carry you a certain distance. This dragon still has a conscience,” Black conveyed the meaning, adding in a soliloquy.

“No need, I have the Dragon Rider War Armor, which can conceal at critical moments. Evil Wing is too large a target, and if it’s spotted by other giant beasts, it will be even more dangerous than I would.”

“So, you stay here,” he said.

Mu Fan walked under the dragon’s head, raised his head, and exchanged a glance with Evil Wing, nodding lightly.

A hint of warmth flickered in those enormous dragon eyes, which nodded compliantly.

Compared to its previous owner, Solomon, Mu Fan treated it much better.

“Roar~”

Just as Mu Fan was about to step out of the cabin, Evil Wing called out to him.

Hmm?

Mu Fan turned his head to see Evil Wing twisting its head and biting off a piece of silver-glittering dragon scale from its neck, its gigantic pupils filled with pain.

“Roar roar roar~”

Mu Fan looked at the dragon scale brought over by Evil Wing, “For me?”

“Evil Wing says this piece is its reverse scale. Detached from the body, it has a temporary reaction to special energy fields. It gets hotter as the direction is correct and gradually loses temperature if wrong,” Black translated.

“Haven’t we already identified the area shrouded in golden light?” Mu Fan was a bit puzzled.

“This functions the same within the ruins, but the time is further compressed,” Black translated this sentence, causing Mu Fan’s pupils to contract instantly.

A look of sincerity passed through Evil Wing’s eyes. Since its submission, this was the first time it had voluntarily revealed its secret.

This magical Mechanical Giant Dragon liked the concern Mu Fan had just shown it, which finally earned Evil Wing’s deep recognition.

“Thanks,” Mu Fan patted Evil Wing’s approaching head, clenched the silver dragon scale, and turned to leave.

Trust is mutual.

He wouldn’t pursue why Evil Wing hadn’t disclosed this earlier.

He would only be grateful for Evil Wing’s assistance.

Rumble~

Mu Fan sat into an all-terrain off-road vehicle and stepped on the gas pedal.

The off-road vehicle produced by Shadow Island roared into the jungle.

On both sides stood towering giant trees as high as a hundred meters, and the exposed aerial roots outlined the ground in undulations.

Here, aside from him, everything was so massive.

Strange cries occasionally came from the dense canopy overhead.

Mu Fan’s Spirit was now highly focused, the Ghost Energy aura had already spread throughout his body, and his high-speed operating mind was now icy cold.

Neither the sun nor the trees could aid in orientation, and as the terrain changed, the route of the off-road vehicle was no longer straight.

He relied only on the sense of direction in his mind and the temperature changes of the metal dragon scale in his hand.

[Wrong direction…]

[Here.]

[The angle started shifting again, the terrain here is a bit peculiar.]

…

On a hundred-meter-high giant tree, several shadows flashed by.

The disturbance below had already caught the attention of the forest’s natives.

But Mu Fan’s expression didn’t change at all. With the noise made by the all-terrain vehicle, being noticed was an inevitable result. What he needed to do was shorten the distance as much as possible before abandoning the vehicle.

This time, he had no external assistance and relied solely on himself.

Time was pressing.

Mu Fan’s gaze was resolute, his thin lips tightly pursed. With the roar of the engine, his figure quickly disappeared into the woods.

…

No one knew that at this moment, scattered throughout this vast and boundless forest, nearly ten thousand ships lay scattered.

About half of the Warships had landed safely, while the other half either crashed to the ground or were directly destroyed by some giant beast, leaving a field of wreckage behind.

At this moment, countless figures were flickering through the forest.

“Damn, this is exhilarating. Next up is my favorite, close combat, hahahaha.”

The S squad dressed in yellow-green camouflage was also swiftly moving in their all-terrain vehicle.

“That kid Mu Fan is definitely waiting for us inside. He won’t be taken down so easily.”

“Any updates?” Ruan Xiongfei turned his head to look at the one wearing a blood-mouth mask, the [Wizard], who was surrounded by a circle of rapidly rotating crystal balls around the all-terrain vehicle.

“Safe,”

The Wizard opened his eyes and calmly stated.

…

“Sir, we’ll escort you in.” Inside the Destiny Warship, a row of officers gazed intently at the calm young man.

“No, just stand guard here.”

Qi Longxiang shook his head, calmly observing the data collected by the ship’s sensors, “Our configuration is not suitable for entering the ruins. The creature that just passed through the sky is the Green Wind Winged Dragon from 90 million years ago, but its size is twelve times larger than the Federation’s records.”

He turned his head to look at his beseeching team members, “It’s not that I’m not tempted by the Ancient Relics, but I understand the wisdom of acting within one’s means.”

“What we should do is safeguard everything we have now. As long as Shadow Island still exists, we shall be remembered in history.”

“So… Lin Hao, split the team into ten groups, go out, place Beacons, and search for traces of other ships, and stay concealed.”

“Yes, sir!” came the resounding response from below.

…

“Qingxue, we’ve reached the perimeter of the Ancient Relic! This will be the moment of our Snow Clan’s rise,” An elder’s eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.

The Snow Clan, as a race from before the cessation of civilization, possessed unimaginable accumulations.

This undoubtedly included the exploration of Ancient Relics, and they understood that the Ancient Relic was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. It connected to a more powerful civilization following the Luqin Universe!

Ancient Relic, it’s not the wealth left by ancient civilizations for the present, but a gift from another civilization to the Luqin Universe!

“You all can proceed on your own. I’ll go find Mu Fan.”

A cool voice sounded, and the peerless Lu Qingxue, carrying a long sword with its scabbard, walked away on her own.

“But, the Frost Angel can lead us in,” the elder’s face flushed.

“Without the Frost Angel, you can still proceed, can’t you?”

Lu Qingxue turned her head, speaking calmly, momentarily silencing hundreds of people.

With cold and pure eyes gazing into the depths of the dense forest, Lu Qingxue touched the ring on her wrist and silently stepped in.
