Chapter 670
670 Chapter 667! thousand-mile tracking
After passing through the Holy Dragon City Army’s defensive position, a pungent smell of smoke, blood, and internal organs immediately assaulted his nose.
The smell was nauseating. If one could not control the feeling of disgust, they would definitely vomit the dinner they had last night.
The cultivators of the Holy Dragon City were already used to this. In such an environment, they did not show any unusual behavior.
The battle was coming to an end. The monsters that were attracted by the blood had already fled with their tails between their legs, leaving behind a dense pile of corpses.
Among the countless trees that had been violently broken, the corpses of various monsters were scattered everywhere. Those that were not dead were wailing continuously, no longer in their previous ferocious state.
The Holy Dragon city’s soldiers showed no mercy to these man-eating monsters. Whenever they found one that was not completely dead, they would immediately shoot it to prevent it from killing people.
Large numbers of monsters were cut down by the soldiers using the saw. The useful materials on their bodies were also collected and transported back to the Holy Dragon City for in-depth processing.
Although the monsters in the world of loucheng were the biggest threat to the survival of the natives, the various materials on their bodies were also the greatest treasures. If used properly, it would definitely bring a huge surprise.
Different from the crude use of the other towers, the Holy Dragon City had a variety of processing methods, which could increase the value of these materials by countless times!
This was the power brought by technology. The primitive loucheng natives could not compare to this!
After Tang Zhen and the others passed through the battlefield, they quickly found the place where the Barbarian cultivators had appeared based on the video records.
The five cultivators in charge of the pursuit turned around for a while, pointed in the same direction, and quickly entered the dense forest like leopards!
Tang Zhen didn’t doubt the judgment of the residents and immediately followed closely behind.
The five cultivators in charge of tracking would stop and search every time they walked a certain distance. After discussing in low voices, they would point out the direction they had determined.
Tang Zhen had also tried to find the traces of these barbarians during this period of time. Although he could vaguely find some clues by relying on his profound cultivation, he was far from being able to catch up with the searching speed of these tracking cultivators.
Through his observation, he also discovered that these five cultivators could either sense plants or had an extremely terrifying sense of smell. Some even had super strong intuition.
When these tracking abilities were gathered together, they made it impossible for the fleeing enemy to hide. Even if there were anti-tracking experts among them, they still could not hide all the traces left behind.
Every ruler had its shortcomings and its strengths. There was no such thing as a useless ability in this world. It only depended on how to use it.
After witnessing the performance of these five Holy Dragon City cultivators, Tang Zhen secretly sighed in his heart. Even with his current cultivation, he did not dare to say that his tracking ability was better than these few residents of his.
Since that was the case, he would just patiently do whatever he wanted!
The group walked and stopped along the way. It didn’t seem fast, but the speed of cultivators was not something ordinary people could compare to. Not to mention that there were no weaklings among them.
Unknowingly, Tang Zhen and the rest had already travelled a distance of over a hundred kilometers. However, the five tracking cultivators had pale faces and their expressions were somewhat dispirited.
Obviously, this kind of tracking wasn’t as simple as it seemed. The continuous tracking for hundreds of kilometers had consumed a lot of physical strength.
After Tang Zhen saw that they were not in good condition, he casually took out some potions that nourished mental and physical strength and gave them to these five cultivators as a reward so that they could recover to their best condition as soon as possible.
After all, time waits for no man. An unforeseen event might occur if they were a day late. It might even cause the battle in the overseas region to fail. This was an outcome that Tang Zhen absolutely did not want to see.
The drugs he gave to the five cultivators were the latest products extracted from the Holy Dragon City, the loucheng world, and the technology of his original world.
The price of this medicine was shocking. It was still in the research stage and could only be produced in small batches.
Its main ingredients were all sorts of strange plants from the world of towers, as well as materials harvested from monsters. Its performance in certain aspects could be said to be miraculous!
If an ordinary person took a bottle of this medicine, under special circumstances, it was even possible for them to be completely exhausted and recover to a healthy state.
However, its greatest use was still to increase the combat power of the Holy Dragon City cultivators!
After the five tracking cultivators took the special medicine, they quickly regained their energy and spirit. With a surprised expression, they once again searched for traces of the enemy in the dense forest.
From time to time, monsters would appear and harass them. However, the elite cultivators accompanying them had already equipped their swords and sabers in their hands. Once the monsters appeared, they would kill them instantly.
The special firearms on their backs had not been removed, for fear that the gunshots might alert the hidden enemies.
Time slowly passed by. When the sky had completely turned dark, Tang Zhen and the others had already tracked for hundreds of kilometers. However, they still did not discover any traces of these barbarians!
Seeing that everyone was a little tired, Tang Zhen ordered them to rest and set up a camp beside a Valley.
Tang Zhen’s storage space had enough food and wine. The Holy Dragon city’s cultivators had also captured a fat wild beast. After washing and skinning it, they directly roasted it.
Although he was the city Lord, Tang Zhen had always been very kind and friendly in front of these residents. It was completely different from the cold and ruthless attitude he had when facing the enemy.
It was for this reason that the residents of loucheng were in awe of him, but they didn’t feel particularly distant from him. They chatted with him very naturally.
At this moment, by the bonfire, a group of iron-blooded cultivators in cold battle armor who didn’t even blink their eyes when killing enemies were holding wine bottles and chatting enthusiastically, no different from the ordinary people in the city.
The newly opened shops in the business district, the newly released movie, and the rumors in the wilderness had all become the topics of everyone’s bragging.
Some cultivators even directly used their wrist-guards to play some simple games. From time to time, they would blow their beards and glare, as if they were going to play the game.
After chatting idly with the cultivators for a while, Tang Zhen agreed to visit their homes when he was free. Only then did he arrange for the guards on night duty and let everyone enter their tents to rest.
As for Tang Zhen, he sat alone beside the fire. He took out a book from his storage space and slowly began to read it.
Another night passed by.
Early the next morning, the cultivators tidied up the items in the camp and once again embarked on the tracking journey.
After recuperating, the efficiency of the five tracking cultivators was surprisingly high. In addition, because the traces left by the enemy were left for a short time, the number of times they stopped to search was also decreasing.
Tang Zhen was also controlling his heavenly eye to continuously search above his head. He would occasionally switch to the map view and not miss any movements in his surroundings.
Another day passed, but they still did not discover any traces of those barbarian cultivators. This caused Tang Zhen to be suspicious in his heart, but he did not give the order to stop the pursuit.
Unknowingly, Tang Zhen was shocked to discover that they had already reached the edge of the void sea!
The so-called Void Ocean didn’t seem to be much different from a normal ocean. It was boundless and surrounded the entire ocean.
When standing on the beach, it was said that one could often see traces of fish, shrimp, and sea monsters, which made the place look full of vitality.
However, the Barbarian tribes living overseas knew that this was just a Mirage-like scene. The true form of the vast and surging ocean of nothingness was just a layer of mist that resembled seawater.
Once they stepped into the sea of nothingness, they could fall into the bottomless pit under the fog at any time, and there was no possibility of survival.
It was said that strange monsters would often swim out of these deep holes. They swam in the sea of nothingness formed by fog, and their bodies were as large as mountains!
Moreover, there was a strange power in the sky above the sea of nothingness. It was like a space-sealing array that prevented normal flight!
This strange and unpredictable sea of nothingness became a natural barrier that prevented the barbarians from escaping. They were trapped here with no possibility of escaping.
Tang Zhen had long heard of the void sea, but he had never had the chance to see it. Now, he was here in person.
Since that was the case, he had to observe carefully no matter what!
