"Let's go!"
In the midday sun, a huge airship 20 feet long slowly took off. The spirit of the wind system array above the airship flickered. The airship's acceleration depended on these wind system arrays.
Li Mu stood on the deck and watched Sifang Island slowly leave behind. Sifang island is only more than 50 kilometers away from the nearest land, but it is 100 kilometers away from Qinghu fortress. More than 100 kilometers of these 200 kilometers are land and water, and the rest are land. Qinghu fortress is not built directly by the water, but it is still a certain distance from the water.
The castle of Qinghu is farther away from the free city, and the straight-line distance is more than 200 kilometers. If you walk by land around the lake, this distance will increase.
Green lake itself is a huge lake. After the great change of heaven and earth, the lake water soared, and a large amount of lake water gushed from the ground. The lake water expanded to the surrounding for a year. Although today's green lake is not as big as the Bohai Sea, it is already as big as half a province. Now, the lake is actually an inland sea.
In order to suppress the water demon in the green lake, the mountain city has established a green lake approach fortress, but there are not only green lake fortresses around the huge lake, but also other fortresses around the green lake.
The speed of the airship is not fast. It takes at least three days to come from Qinghu fortress when it is fully loaded. This is still not disturbed by * in good weather. Once the weather is bad or disturbed, it takes longer.
However, if it is an empty ship, it only takes more than a day to go. Generally, the airship pulls materials from Qinghu fortress, and then carries some minerals under Sifang Island back to Qinghu base.
The water around Sifang island is rich in a kind of water spirit stone. This kind of water spirit stone contains abundant five elements water power, which can help cultivate the five elements Taoist method, and can also be used to refine a special metal. It is a very useful ore to refine the magic weapon of water system with this metal.
The airship transported ammunition, food and various infrastructure materials, and then returned with a full load of Shuiling stones. These Shuiling stones were excavated by the civilian men in the Sifang island base. The civilian men had food and clothing in Sifang Island, and the food conditions were quite good, only slightly worse than the regular army, but their work was very dangerous.
This is the case these days. There is nothing to eat safely. Even if you want to go to prison for a living, it is impossible. Going to prison these days is an extravagant hope.
Li Mu stood on the deck and looked at the lake constantly haunted by water demons. The airship could not fly too high. It could only fly 100 meters above the green lake, but the defense array was opened, which was enough to avoid the harassment of most green lake water demons. It was impossible for the giant fish and shrimp in the lake to overturn the ship with one tail.
On the deck, except for a few people on guard, most of the soldiers of the miscellaneous army lie on the deck lazily basking in the sun. The defense array of the airship is very powerful and flies in the sky. Every year, the probability of the airship encountering an attack is only one-third and the probability of sinking is only one tenth. This probability is quite safe now.
As Sifang Island gradually became a small black spot, the airship flew steadily. Except that two bird demons collided with the airship's defense array and turned into two firelights, there were basically no problems.
The first day was safe, but the next night, a gust of wind gradually formed from the lake. The wind roared and the sails on the flying boat made a sound. It was not downwind, but upwind. The speed of the flying boat obviously slowed down.
"Captain, there is an alarm from Qinghu fortress. A storm is forming in front of us!" The captain was warned by Qinghu fortress and hurried to the deck to report to Nangong Mingyue. Anyway, Nangong Mingyue is the person with the highest rank on the airship.
"Did the monster do it or did it form naturally?" Nangong Mingyue asked impatiently.
"This is not clear yet!" The captain hesitated and said that some monsters can call the wind and rain and affect the weather. Even if there is a rainstorm, it may be a sudden change in the weather and formed naturally, or it may be caused by the demon family.
"The defense array is fully open, reduce the speed!" Nangong Mingyue gave an impatient order, then kicked away a miscellaneous soldier who was lying nearby sleeping, and shouted impatiently, "fool, call these fools up and get ready to guard!"
The soldier of the miscellaneous army was suddenly kicked up and was about to scold. But it was clear that the person kicking him was Nangong Mingyue. This guy suddenly became excited and ran away.
Nangong Mingyue can not only kick him, but also kill him.
"Alert, alert!"
The harsh alarm soon sounded in the airship, several huge sails were immediately lowered, and a transparent energy cover protected the airship, which is the protective cover on the airship.
The sound of shouting and scolding sounded on the airship, and many people of the miscellaneous army were driven into the battle position.
"What happened?" Li Mu was in the cabin to close his eyes and prepare for the 13th floor of the golden bell jar. When he heard the harsh alarm outside, Li Mu pushed the door and went out. He just met Wei Zheng with a strange face. Wei Zheng was in the opposite cabin.
"It seems that there is a storm. It's normal. The weather here is changeable. It's still a big sun just now. In the twinkling of an eye, it's a storm. It's too normal. I continue to sleep!"
Wei Zheng looked outside, then went back to the cabin and closed the door. Li Mu vaguely saw a thigh in Wei Zheng's room. There was a woman in this guy's cabin.
It's no wonder that Wei's firm will throw them here if they rely on pills to pile up the realm and don't work hard to cultivate, remove impurities and stabilize the foundation.
Li Mu glanced at him and walked outside the cabin.
As soon as Li Mu got on the deck, he saw that the airship plunged into a thick black cloud, which was a thick cumulonimbus cloud.
As soon as they entered the cumulonimbus cloud, lightning constantly bombarded the protective cover of the airship. The protective cover flickered continuously, and even sparks appeared occasionally.
There was a strong wind on the lake. The wind set off huge waves and the waves rolled. Soon there was a rainstorm. The raindrops hit the airship hard, making it hear a dense beating sound.
Dark clouds were boiling, lightning and thunder were thundering, and the rainstorm was beating hard. The whole airship looked like the end was coming.
Huge waves rolled under the airship, and the water waves became higher and higher. It even seemed to beat the airship hard.
The weather here is changeable, but such bad weather is also very rare.
"Strange, how can the wind and waves be so big today!" The captain tried to control the direction of the airship and looked out of the ship's side with fear. If the airship sailed on the lake, it might have been overturned by the huge wave.
"Wow!"
At this time, a towering water wave appeared. The water wave directly lifted 100 meters high and beat it on the airship.
"Bang!"
The airship swayed violently, a lake water spread directly, and even some fish and shrimp fell directly on the deck with the water waves, twisting their bodies madly.
Li Mu carefully looked at the dark cloud as thick as ink, and keenly noticed that there was a trace of evil spirit in the dark cloud. The storm did not occur naturally, but was haunted by water demons.
"There's something under the boat!"
Li Mu turned his Qi to his eyes and looked directly under the airship. He saw a huge dark shadow looming in the surging green lake.
"The young lady is not good. There is a big demon. Hurry into the cabin!" Old servant Wu Jiang rushed to Nangong Mingyue immediately and guarded Nangong Mingyue vigilantly. Everyone on the airship can die, but Nangong Mingyue can't have an accident.
"It's just a little demon. What's the big deal!" Nangong Mingyue said impatiently, "prepare the cannon on the ship and fire it for me!"
Nangong Mingyue hasn't encountered any real danger since she was a child. When the world changed, she was still young and couldn't remember the horror of monsters. In addition, the Nangong family has its own inheritance. Even if the world changed, she seized the opportunity early and didn't encounter much danger at all.
This leads to the character that Nangong Mingyue's eye is higher than the top, which is true for people who have not suffered losses.
"What the hell is that?" Wei Zheng, Ou Yezi and poison man Luo Zheng rushed over immediately when they heard the news and looked down.
"Hiding under the water, I can't see clearly!"
They tried to see clearly, but the water demon hid at the bottom of the water and couldn't see clearly. They could only vaguely see that the water demon was very huge and looked like an underwater island.
"Fire!"
At this time, the miscellaneous soldiers on the airship adjusted the muzzle position and aimed under the ship, but Li Mu's face suddenly changed.
"Don't fire yet!"
Li Mu roared. The water demon may not be their opponent, but it is obvious that the water demon is not easy to provoke. Once he starts, Li Mu is not afraid of the green lake, but it is difficult to keep the flying boat.
Although the monster is making waves now, it does not directly attack the airship. If the airship does not take the initiative to attack, the monster may not attack the airship. The current task of the airship is transportation, not a warship. If it is not necessary, there is no need to attack the monster at all.
After all, there are many monsters in the green lake, but there are many flying boats in the green lake fortress.
"Hum, coward, shoot me!"
Nangong Mingyue looked at Li Mu disdainfully and ordered to fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The roaring sound sounded fiercely. The airship is different from the Sifang island base. In order to ensure the maximum fire coverage density, the Sifang island base basically adopts both near defense guns and rapid fire guns, but the tasks of the airship are different. The airship is basically loaded with naval guns.
The ship's guns roared, and shells poured out of the airship and directly hit the water, setting off huge waves.
The high explosive shells fired by these naval guns were enough to blow up the mountains, but they didn't seem to play much role on the huge monster under the lake. On the contrary, they completely angered the water demon under the lake.
"Roar!"
An earth shaking roar appeared from under the lake.
