The first ground attack of the Idiot airship gave Zhang Tie a huge shock. From beginning to end, the Idiot airship dropped a total of 24 white phosphorus gel bombs eight times, and no one on the airship was injured or killed. , but the result of the battle was the annihilation of at least 40,000 demonized puppet troops, and the destroyed iron bridge successfully protected the human army and the women and children from being pursued by the demonized puppet troops.
Of course, valleys and terrain factors play an important role in this. If it were replaced by other terrains, the demonized puppets would have more room to move, and their formation would not be so crowded. Twenty-four white phosphorus gel bombs may not be able to achieve this. record, but the most important thing about this battle was that Zhang Tie felt for the first time the overwhelming advantage brought by having air superiority in the war.
It would be difficult for you to appreciate the importance of air supremacy without actually doing it once, but after experiencing it once, Zhang Tie had a thorough understanding of air supremacy.
What is air superiority? The simplest way to put it is that I can hit you, but you can't hit me. If I want to hit you, I will hit you. You can't defend me. After I hit you, I can leave if I want to, but you can't catch up. This is air supremacy and war. Pushing the form from the ground to the air is the transition from two-dimensional war to three-dimensional war. With three against two, the extra one is air superiority.
The victory made everyone on the Idiot excited. Such a result made every crew member very excited. The crew members boarded the airship with the intention of beating up the demons. At this stop, It gave everyone a feeling that it was worth the price of admission. The results of this victory were, in the words of the first officer on the airship. For a war airship, this battle is already fruitful, if it is among the troops. After this battle is won, everyone on the airship will receive a medal.
Although there were no medals on the Idiot, after experiencing such a battle, everyone began to believe that the name Idiot given to the airship by Zhang Tie would bring luck to the airship.
If it weren't for Zhang Tie who wanted to come to Ouslie, if it wasn't for Zhang Tie who insisted on participating in the ground battle. The Idiot will not achieve such results. The crew and crew of an airship are two of the most superstitious groups, and therefore, a captain can bring good luck and victory to the airship. Even if you don't understand command, you can still gain the sincere respect of the crew.
The human troops on the ground cheered and saluted the airship, and someone used the shiny metal lenses on their armor to send light signals to the airship in the sunlight.
"Captain, the troops on the ground want to express their gratitude to us. They are an infantry brigade affiliated with the Human Anti-Magic Alliance in this area. They asked for our serial number and wanted to invite us to their base!" The signal officer in the command cabin He quickly translated the signals on the ground and told Zhang Tie loudly.
"Thank them for their kindness and tell them that our airship No. Idiot is the private armed force of Huaiyuan County of Jinyun State. Now it is going to the Sernes War Zone to kill the demons. I wish them good luck!" Zhang Tie said with a smile. .
The airship's light signal was quickly sent out, and soon another set of signals came up from the ground.
“They wish us a safe journey!”
"Let's go!"
The airship circled the battlefield and then left the battlefield. Continue heading north. After this battle, Zhang Tie felt that the morale of everyone in the entire command cabin suddenly became high.
"Captain. Do you want to reward everyone with extra meals tonight?" the first mate asked Zhang Tie.
"Well, let the kitchen cook a delicious meal for everyone. Everyone can drink a glass of fruit wine in the evening. Just prepare dinner and you can eat it. If there is nothing important, don't call me. I have to go back to my room to practice! If there is an emergency If I don't respond, it's because I'm practicing and have closed off my senses. I can't be disturbed by others. I just authorize you to handle it with full authority."
"yes!"
Zhang Tie nodded to everyone in the command cabin, and then left the airship's command cabin and returned to his captain's room. Along the way, the airship crew members who saw Zhang Tie expressed their attitude toward Zhang Tie. They are all more respectful.
Zhang Tie's captain's cabin is the most luxurious and spacious room in the airship. The entire room is more than thirty square meters. As a war airship, he is the only one on the entire airship that has a set of independent bathroom facilities. He alone has the qualification to take a bath on the airship, which is one of the privileges of the airship captain.
Arriving at the captain's room, Zhang Tie locked the door of the captain's room from inside, and then entered the Black Iron Castle.
In three years, under Heller's careful management, a large amount of water from the underground river was sucked in by the Black Iron Castle. The Black Iron Castle has changed from a site with an area of less than one square kilometer to an area of nearly a hundred square kilometers. With a territory of square kilometers, Zhang Tie already had the feeling of entering another vast world when he entered the Black Iron Castle.
The position of the small tree is still in the center of the Black Iron Castle, but many of the plants around the small tree, especially in the distance, have grown very tall due to the accelerated growth of the aura value. Some plants have already given people It has the feeling of towering trees, especially the forest of oak and sycamore trees. The tall canopy of more than ten meters and dozens of meters high is already very eye-catching. Several neat vineyards, cherry orchards, and various orchards covering hundreds of acres give people a joyful sense of harvest.
Remembering that he had not checked the basic properties window of Black Iron Castle for a long time, Zhang Tie casually clicked and a translucent dialog box appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes.
Black Iron Castle:
—Length: 13 Kulushe
—Width: 13 Kulushe
—Aura value: 4785189
—Merit value: 793176
—Basic energy reserve: 8631473
—Special output:
Animals: Earthworm No. 1, Bee No. 1
Plants: No. 1 potato, No. 1 sea buckthorn, No. 1 grape, No. 1 rice, No. 1 pumpkin, No. 1 wheat.
Microorganism: Yuanneng Lingqi yeast
Looking at this dialog box, Zhang Tie felt that he had never been so rich. Not to mention the increase in the area of the Black Iron Castle, that can be seen. However, the aura value and basic energy reserve in the Black Iron Castle have reached a scale of one million, not to mention the pile of animals and plants that have completed their first mutation and evolution.
Since Yuan Neng Reiki Yeast. For the subsequent biological species that have completed mutation and evolution, Zhang Tie uses the lazy method of naming. A certain type of creature that has completed the first mutation is added with a number one in front, and another mutation is completed based on the number one. Number 2, if it completes multiple mutations at the same time, it would be 2.1, 2.2 or something like that. Although this naming method lacks some beauty. It doesn't look very cool, but it is very trouble-free, and the origin of the mutated and evolved biological species can be clearly seen at a glance.
During the three years that Zhang Tie was asleep. Bees, grapes, rice, and pumpkins in the Black Iron Castle. Wheat has already completed a mutation evolution. These mutated organisms have stronger environmental adaptability and higher yields. According to Heller, their quality is also better and they are brand new biological species.
Although these things are not of much use yet and cannot be shown off, Zhang Tie always feels that these things will definitely play a very important role in the future.
After closing the basic attribute panel of Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie walked towards Xiaoshu. Among the fruits of the small tree, we can indeed see the fruits of the soul calamity of the battle that the airship just experienced. There is also the fruit of salvation that I haven’t eaten for a long time—Sha Lin’s gratitude.
Zhang Tie put his hand on the fruit and was immediately startled by the rows of words and information that appeared under the fruit.
-The fruit of salvation - Sand Scale's Gratitude, has matured, how to use it, eat it directly after picking it. Note that the fruit cannot be taken away from the Black Iron Castle. Twelve hours after picking, the energy and vitality in the fruit will gradually be lost.
-This fruit can increase the Lord's body's cold resistance in water and cold environments by 672%, and increase the body's sensitivity to water flow by 2172%.
- This fruit has been completely mature, and its improvement in the Lord's body's cold resistance and sensitivity to water flow have reached the highest limit that sand scales can achieve.
-Eating this fruit will cumulatively increase the Lord's body's cold resistance in water and cold environments to 20 times, and increase the body's sensitivity to water flow to 35 times. and genes will be fully activated.
-This activation will allow the Lord's body to evolve into a primary water-blessed body.
—The effects of primary water-blessed body are as follows:
1. In the water, all activities of the castle owner are not affected by the water environment. You can get a 15% combat power bonus in the water, and the diving depth in the water can be increased by 20%.
2. In a hypoxic environment, the time the castle owner can stay in the water will be extended by 50%.
3. The gratitude of the sand scales converges into a wonderful blessing for the water-blessed body. Under any conditions, as long as the castle owner does not take the initiative to attack water creatures below level 9, water creatures below level 9 will not take the initiative to attack you. , water creatures above level 9 will be less hostile to you.
4. After possessing the body of Water Blessing, the success rate of controlling all water creatures with the skill of controlling animals will be increased by 10%.
Seeing this information, Zhang Tie became excited, and then he picked the fruit without hesitation and ate it in three mouthfuls. After spending more than two hours to completely digest the fruit, Zhang Tie was obviously I felt the changes in my body.
How should I put this change? In a non-underwater environment like the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie felt that he was much more sensitive to the moisture in the air. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel it with his senses. There is a small stream flowing in that place not far from the small tree. It is a magical feeling.
In addition to being more sensitive to the moisture in the air, he has also become more sensitive to the subtle fluidity of the air around him. After all, water and air are both fluids to some extent. In addition to different densities, many characteristics are similar. Since my body can clearly feel the changes in water flow in the water, even in the air, although this feeling is not as sharp as in the water, it will definitely be more sensitive than in the water. It has improved a lot before.
This keen perception of air flow is exactly what Zhang Tie needs most now.
After Zhang Tie closed his eyes carefully to appreciate the effect of this primary water-blessed body, he opened his eyes and found that Heller was already standing in front of him.
"Ah, Heller. When did you come?"
"While the Lord of the Castle is digesting the fruit of redemption!"
Seeing Heller, Zhang Tiezheng wanted to ask him a few questions, "I want to ask. After eating this fruit, will there be no redemption for me if I release Sha Scale in the future?"
"It's like this. There is an upper limit to the redemption fruit that the release of each species can provide to the Lord of the Fortress. This upper limit is also the upper limit of the ability of a certain creature to transform and improve the body of the Lord of the Fortress!" Heller explained. , "Although there is no fruit of redemption, if the Lord of the Castle releases the sand scales in the future, it will still have merit points, and the more sand scales are released, the possibility that your water-blessed body will be actively attacked by water creatures above level nine in the water The sex will be lower!"
"Ah. How could this happen?"
"This is a mysterious law of cause and effect. It is difficult to explain. If you want to say it, you can understand it this way. It is just like the biggest reason why humans hate and hate the demon clan. That is that the demon clan kills the most people and brings the greatest disaster to humans. And if it’s the other way around, the more water tribes the Lord of the Castle saves and the more Sand Scales are released, then the more pleasing the Water Tribe will be to the Lord of the Castle!”
Zhang Tie nodded, "Then if the primary water-blessed body is to be advanced to the intermediate water-blessed body, will it be necessary to release other sea creatures?"
"Yes. Intermediate water blessing bodies need to be released more, and more advanced water tribes can obtain them. Of course, when releasing those more advanced water tribes, before your primary water blessing body completes the advancement, you also You will get the fruits of redemption from other creatures again, and those fruits of redemption will also bring you some new abilities!"
Zhang Tie nodded. His family, Linda and the people from Jinwubao will soon leave Huaiyuan County. The matter of releasing the sand scales can be regarded as a successful end. As for whether there are conditions for releasing other creatures in the future. , then we have to wait until Brother and Linda settle down. There is no way to explain this kind of thing to others. It also requires conditions and opportunities. It is not good to make the situation too big. It cannot be solved with gold coins.
If brother and the others arrive in the Eastern Continent, what Zhang Tie hopes most, which was arranged before leaving Qianlong Island, is for Paul to find an opportunity to help him release the Golden Strawberry Fairy. After losing the Seven Power Fruit, Zhang Tie must Find a way to continue to quickly improve your strength, because for a warrior, strength is the most powerful and effective weapon. Other abilities often can only play a supporting role. Strength is a warrior. Guarantee of combat effectiveness. For example, water, the body blessed by water, is very powerful, but Zhang Tie does not live in water. If he meets a more powerful guy whose level is much higher than him, he may not even have the chance to use his ability. It's possible that someone would kill him.
Therefore, for a warrior, his own combat power is king.
Zhang Tie is really looking forward to what the fruit of redemption of the golden unicorn, known as the king of power in the animal world, will taste like.
Last time, after killing a team of armored demon warriors, except for a Soul Robbery Fruit, no other fruits appeared on this small tree. Thinking of the plundering fruit that the Shadow Demon I killed brought to me. Zhang Tie suddenly thought of this issue.
"By the way, I remember that I killed more than ten armored demons last time. Why didn't I rob them?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.
"You can only get the fruit of plunder from the shadow demon. This is a unique fruit. You cannot get this fruit from other demons!"
"Then what fruits can I get from other demon bodies?"
"Haha, this question is beyond my authority. Before the fruit appears, I can't tell you what kind of fruit the small tree will grow. That may lead you to embark on a very dangerous path, desperate for the pursuit of fruit. Everything can only take its own course. What I can tell you is that if you kill other demons, you will also get rewards, but the rewards have not yet reached the conditions for manifestation!"
"I understand!" Zhang Tie nodded and didn't say much. Instead, he picked the Soul Tribulation Fruit from the tree, ate it in his stomach, and after quickly digesting it, left Heilongjiang. Iron Castle.
…
Zhang Tie reappeared in his captain's cabin. No one on the Idiot noticed that Zhang Tie's strength had actually improved in just over two hours.
Outside the door, the celebrations and cheers of the crew on the Idiot during dinner could be faintly heard. This was the first time Zhang Tie allowed the crew to drink since boarding the airship. Although everyone only had a small cup, today's performance of the Fool and this sumptuous dinner were enough to make people happy.
Zhang Tie sat back on his bed again. He crossed his legs and began to activate the Soul Tribulation Realm he had just fought on the airship, and then entered it.
…
In the realm of soul calamity...
Zhang Tie appeared in the command cabin of the airship. Looking from the command cabin, most of the densely packed demonized puppets on the ground had disappeared. Only three or two demonized puppets looked helplessly at the airship in the sky, wanting to attack. airship. But he couldn't find a way, so he could only run around on the ground following the shadow of the airship.
This realm of soul calamity has other meanings and functions for Zhang Tie, so Zhang Tie did not fully activate the demonized puppets on the ground. That was a pure waste of mental energy. He just activated two of them at random and used them as his scene props.
The command cabin of Soul Tribulation Realm was empty, and Zhang Tie came to the helmsman's position. sit down. Holding the rudder of the airship with both hands, he pulled it upwards. The huge Stormrage-class airship floating in the sky more than 400 meters above the ground raised its head and suddenly began to rise up and fly up into the sky.
A few minutes later, when the Idiot flew back to an altitude of several thousand meters, Zhang Tie flattened the rudder and left the command module.
Follow the command cabin all the way down. After a while, Zhang Tie arrived at the glider launch bay at the bottom of the airship.
In the drop bay. A blue-gray glider with a wingspan of more than twelve meters sat quietly on the sliding rail in the launch bay. The wide wings and streamlined fuselage were full of beauty and were made of the same material as the airship airbag protective armor. The fuselage is both strong and sturdy, yet extremely light. In this era, the shape of this glider is the closest thing to the shape of human aircraft in the sky before the cataclysm.
After taking a look at the glider, Zhang Tie opened the door safety fastener of the glider's launch bay, and then checked the connection between the glider and the glide rail.
Seeing that everything was normal, Zhang Tie took a deep breath, ran to the glider, quickly jumped into the cockpit of the glider, put on goggles, a windproof hat and gloves, and looked at the control lever inside the cockpit of the glider. and those pedals, buttons, levers and the like. I carefully recalled the details in the glider operation books I had read in the past two days in my mind, and then rubbed my hands.
"I hope my death won't be too ugly the first time!" Zhang Tie muttered to himself, and then put down a control lever on his left hand.
As soon as the control rod was lowered, Zhang Tie felt a strong wind blowing against his face in just a moment. The door of the delivery cabin suddenly opened, and the glider suddenly fell from the airship...
In the few seconds when the glider fell from the airship, Zhang Tie's heart was hanging. Later, Zhang Tie discovered that the glider did not fall all the way down, but after falling more than 20 meters out of the bottom cabin of the airship, Just slid sideways in the air...
Zhang Tie screamed in the glider, it was so exciting.
Just over ten minutes later, the out-of-control glider began to fall to the ground. Seeing that it was out of control, Zhang Tie quickly unbuckled his safety buckle and took out what looked like a big metal mushroom from the side of the cockpit. The same thing pressed a button on the big metal mushroom. …
The rotating parachute blades suddenly unfolded in the air, pulling Zhang Tie's body out of the glider's falling state...
Zhang Tie's first close contact with a glider and a rotor parachute ended here...
…
Just ten minutes later, Zhang Tie once again piloted his glider and landed from the bottom of the Idiot airship...
This time, Zhang Tie stayed in the air for more than thirty minutes...
…
The third time, Zhang Tie stayed in the air for two hours...
…
The fourth time, Zhang Tie will no longer fall...
…
For the fifth time, the glider piloted by Zhang Tie had begun to perform simple tricks in the sky...
This is the power of the Soul Tribulation Realm, everything is a complete reproduction exactly like reality. In such an environment, it only took Zhang Tie half a day to learn how to drive a glider.
After continuous bold attempts and paying the heavy price of several aircraft crashes and fatalities, Zhang Tie's glider driving experience and operating skills, which he exchanged with his life and blood, are rapidly improving Zhang Tie's glider driving skills. Climbing higher...
The next day, Zhang Tie's glider flying skills were almost the same as those of professional pilots on airships...
On the third day, the glider piloted by Zhang Tie could perform various thrilling maneuvers around the airship within a distance of two meters.
On the fourth day, Zhang Tie drove a glider and played hide-and-seek with a group of iron-beaked ibises in the sky. Zhang Tie drove the glider with one hand, and kept releasing arrows from his palm with the other hand. Amidst the loud explosions, The iron-beaked ibises chasing the glider turned into clouds of blood mist in the sky. Within the 400-meter range of the glider, it was completely a restricted area in the air...
…
On the sixth day, almost a month later, the Idiot airship arrived at the Cernes war zone...
