Seven days passed by in a flash. Although Ye Feng spent a lot of time studying the runes, there was no real progress.
He didn't really care. Some things were urgent and he couldn't rush them. Besides, he didn't think it was of much use. It was just a way to kill time after practicing.
When the caravan left the city, he truly realized the size of the team.
Ten large vehicles and three small vehicles pull up the long snake formation, which is very spectacular.
But the car they talked about also opened Ye Feng's eyes.
This car is not a vehicle on earth. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a ship because it has no wheels at all.
It doesn't seem appropriate to say it's a boat, because it's not sailing in the water, and it doesn't look like it. Overall, it's more like a car without wheels.
The cart is five meters wide, thirty meters long, and only over one meter high.
I don’t know what method was used, but the whole cart was a few feet above the ground, and it looked like a modern maglev train, or more like a ground-effect aircraft.
The cart seems to have no power to move by itself, but needs people to push it. Perhaps because of the suspension in the void, the resistance is very small and it can be pushed easily, which is very trouble-free.
Since it is called a vehicle, it naturally has a driver, but the driver is not there to drive the vehicle.
Their job is extremely simple, just to control the landing and suspension. The direction of travel is completely determined by the person pushing the cart.
Ye Feng was originally a little curious and wanted to study it carefully, but Feng Ling covered his mouth and chuckled and told him the secret.
In fact, the so-called cart is very simple. It can levitate because there are a lot of formations carved on it. The formations can convert the aura in the source crystal into spiritual power, and the spiritual power supports the levitation of the cart.
It sounds very silly, but the ten carts were actually loaded with daily necessities to provide food and drink for the entire caravan through the deserted area.
The source crystal that is actually to be transported back is loaded on two of the cars, so these two cars are doing useful work, and the rest is just to protect the two cars.
Of course, the so-called small car is relatively speaking. It is actually very large overall, with a width of four meters, a length of about ten meters, and a height of about two meters. It is like a modern box truck.
Similarly, the trolley has no wheels and is propelled by human power.
The only difference is that the last car is only three meters wide and five meters long. It also has no wheels, but it can move on its own.
This small car is Feng Ling's vehicle, and Ye Feng is naturally also in the car as his personal bodyguard.
Feng Chie said that other vehicles can also be driven, but the reason why they are pushed manually is because it consumes a lot of energy to drive them.
Driving such a large vehicle for one mile consumes one low-grade source crystal. It is so shocking that no one can bear the huge consumption.
Therefore, only some small cars dare to engrave the driving formation, just like the wind chime vehicle.
In fact, the consumption of one source crystal per mile is still the consumption when running at low speed. The so-called low speed means that the speed does not exceed ten miles per hour. The consumption of high-speed driving increases exponentially.
Even though a car like Wind Chime can reach a speed of fifty miles per hour, its consumption is extremely staggering. Calculating this, one mile per mile consumes almost one low-grade source crystal.
So unless necessary, she would usually choose to drive at a low speed, so that one source crystal could drive hundreds of miles, which was still barely bearable.
There were a total of thirteen vehicles, with as many as 500 escorts, and only one million Source Crystals were escorted. This shows how precious the Source Crystals are.
Ye Feng calculated and found that the team could only travel at a speed of ten miles per hour. This was because they had just left the Cursed City and there were roads. It was said that after a hundred miles, there would be no more decent roads.
Cars don't need roads, but people do. If there are no roads, walking will naturally be slow.
Ye Feng originally thought it was strange why he had to use manpower to transport and use mules and horses as foot power. Wouldn't it be easier and faster to run?
But he soon realized that he was wrong, because this deserted area is not that simple after all. Not to mention mules and horses, even these people with advanced cultivation would find it difficult to adapt.
Of course, Ye Feng didn't feel anything himself. He only realized the seriousness of the problem by observing the strange things discovered by others and having Feng Chie explain it to him.
The deserted area is quite friendly to humans. Although it will cause great physical exertion and requires constant replenishment of food, basic actions will not be affected.
But all animals cannot survive here, just like they cannot breathe, they will die if they enter.
However, the little wolf seemed to be fine and was jumping around happily. Previously, Feng Chime had seriously warned Ye Feng not to take the little wolf with him, otherwise he would be harmed. The result also shocked her.
Of course, Ye Feng was not worried. Although he didn't know what all this was about, he knew that he and Xiaolang were absolutely fine, because they had even walked through the Land of the Dead and didn't feel any discomfort at all.
The mighty procession was extremely long, several miles apart from the beginning to the end, and it was very spectacular.
Feng Chi's car opened the way at the front, and of course there were two teams in front responsible for exploring the path and observing, but they were all on foot.
Ye Feng didn't bother to get out of the car, so he chatted with Feng Ling all the time in the car. Even the little wolf was sleeping soundly at Feng Ling's feet.
This guy has become familiar with Feng Ling in the past few days. He rebelled directly and followed Feng Ling most of the time. It seems that he is also a person who values sex over friends.
We set off early in the morning, and by evening we were already a hundred miles away from the Cursed City. Right here, the road was cut off and the scenery in front of us changed drastically.
"stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from the front.
The sound was extremely loud and could be heard clearly from miles away.
"The front is Broken Edge Mountain. After passing this valley, we will enter the first area. We will camp here tonight and each team will arrange according to the established plan."
"yes!"
Following the replies from the team leaders, the group quickly took action.
Perhaps because of years of experience, we have already found certain rules and formed inherent habits. This is obviously a fixed camping place for caravans.
Most of the caravans are experienced people, especially the team leaders, who have been back and forth several times and are very skilled at setting up camp. It only takes about ten minutes to arrange it.
As for Ye Feng, of course it has nothing to do with him. He doesn't even need to get out of the car. He just rests in the car at night. He can really be regarded as a personal guard.
Of course, this is not the treatment for everyone who works as a personal bodyguard, at least other men certainly cannot. This is not the treatment that Qiu Jiannan is thinking about, but he obviously has no chance.
The entire camp was arranged with three small vehicles placed in the middle, surrounded by a circle of large vehicles. The entire defense was very strict.
"Brother, let's go for a walk!"
"Okay, I've been in the car all day and I'm really suffocated."
Ye Feng had actually wanted to go there for a long time, but he didn't have much experience and didn't know if it was suitable, so he didn't mention it.
