Dimensional Expedition

Chapter 21: 21. Dirt Bike Beast!

Views:

The sun rises in the east, west, south, and north... Lu Cheng also doesn't know which direction the sun rises in this world.

The next morning, when Lu Cheng took a compass to see what the magnetic field of this world was like, the compass suddenly spun at the speed of light.

Simply put, the compass is on strike.

The magnetic field of this world is much more weird than Lu Cheng had imagined, or something is interfering with the compass's judgment.

“You want us to sit on this?”

When Lu Cheng put down the compass and came outside the ruins, he found that all the "horse"-like creatures that had run away during the battle last night had returned.

This creature is pronounced "Angutulusi" in Esperanto, which literally means a walking beast, collectively known as a walking beast.

In order to reach the capital of Scarre faster, Princess Elena enthusiastically donated three walking beasts to Lucheng.

"Our country's cavalry suffered heavy losses, but the walkers all survived. These three walkers were once the mounts of the best knights of the First Knight Order."

General Hubert rode his walker to Lu Cheng's side and said.

All right... Another of the best horses in the country.

"Who among you can ride a horse?" Lu Cheng turned around and asked the members of his team.

This creature, which is a cross between a sloth and a horse with a bit of otter in it, seems to have the same habits as a horse.

But whether it was the kite, the picture magazine, or the iron ring, they all shook their heads.

Except for some horse riding enthusiasts, no one on earth has the skills to ride a horse.

However, Lu Cheng also lit up the horse riding skill because of his profession, but...

"How long will it take to ride this thing back to your country?"

Lu Cheng patted the back of the walking beast. There was a layer of fluff hidden under the long mane, which felt quite comfortable to touch.

"It took us seventeen days to get from the royal capital to Crescent Moon Town," said General Hubert.

"It took nearly half a month... and this world doesn't necessarily count on a 24-hour basis."

Lu Cheng has not stayed in this world for more than a day, but Lu Cheng feels that the day and night time in this world is different from that on Earth.

"We will encounter those blood crystal beasts on the road, right?"

Lu Cheng took the initiative to speak out the issues that all the natives present were worried about, whether they were the refugees who decided to follow or the soldiers from the capital of Skare.

The blood crystal beasts that appeared during the journey were always the inner demons surrounding them. Some refugees even felt their legs go weak and they were unable to move when they walked out of the church and saw the forest.

"Yes, this will be a difficult journey, Lord Lucheng." General Hubert said, "The blood crystal beast may appear in the forest at any time."

"They only treat humans as food?" Lu Cheng glanced at the walking beast that was rubbing its chin.

The walking beast's eyes were narrowed and it made a low humming sound, obviously enjoying the strength of Lu Cheng rubbing its chin.

During the attack of the blood crystal beast last night, this walking beast was frightened and fled into the forest. If the blood crystal beast regarded it as food, it might have turned into a pile of white bones today.

The fact that it was able to return to the outside of the church ruins today and enjoy Lu Cheng's chin scratching here shows that the Blood Crystal Beast does not seem to be interested in animals.

"The blood crystal beasts are the distorted incarnations of wild beasts that have been stained by blood. They only attack humans." General Hubert said without denying it.

"There is also an identification function? Are you sure this thing is a natural disaster?" Lu Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard that the blood crystal beast would only attack humans.

"Blood crystal beasts have invaded all over the world, and have appeared many times in historical records... This is a disaster far more dangerous than the wrath of the earth."

At this time, the knowledgeable Elena came again to tell Lu Cheng some little knowledge about the blood crystal beast.

"Uh...as long as you are happy."

Judging from the skeleton of the blood crystal beast found yesterday, Lu Cheng believed that this thing should essentially be a fossil buried in the soil, rather than a wild beast affected by blood.

But this is just Lu Cheng's speculation. If he really wants to find out what that thing is, he needs to capture a blood crystal beast alive and do an autopsy to find out.

"Lord Lu Cheng, let's get on the road quickly. If everything goes well... we can reach an abandoned outpost before dark. The buildings there can provide us with the most basic protection." General Hubert said anxiously.

"Forget about that outpost. Where is the next resting place at the outpost?"

Lu Cheng opened the portal again, threw a piece of paper in, and then asked General Hubert.

"The second resting place is Huiri City. It used to be a famous mining city in our country, but the blood crystal beast broke through it, and many residents fled to the capital." General Hubert said here and hurriedly dissuaded Lu Cheng, saying, "Her Highness Elena is unwilling to abandon those refugees. If we take them with us, we can only rely on walking. It is already the limit for us to reach that outpost today."

"What if it's not walking?"

Lu Cheng glanced at the watch on his wrist. Ten minutes had passed since he threw the paper into the portal.

"The walkers cannot carry so many people. Two people on the back of a walker is already the limit." General Hubert once again counted the number of people currently present.

Including them, the refugees and the Lucheng team, there are a total of nineteen people. It is absolutely impossible for these nineteen people to be carried across by seven walking beasts.

"There's no need to borrow your mounts. We have our own means of transportation."

Lu Cheng went directly to a wall of the church that had not collapsed yet, and summoned his own portal on the flat surface of the wall.

Last night, Lu Cheng carefully calculated how much the magic power stored in the holy crystal on the back of his hand could pass through.

The calculation data of Lucheng is based on weight in kilograms, but the magic power required for creatures to pass through the portal is hundreds of times higher.

For example, the magic power consumed by a normal male weighing 70 kilograms through the portal is enough to pass an object weighing 7 or even 10 tons.

Lu Cheng pondered carefully and thought that this might be the bargaining chip for the so-called "soul" to pass through? But the weight of this soul is too expensive.

It is expensive, but it means that if you want to come to this world, the people who can carry out the development plan must be the elite of the country's elite.

Moreover, modern society has begun to replace labor with machines, so this restriction has little impact on the development of resources in the other world.

Therefore, Lucheng’s subsequent calculations will still use one human as the unit.

A human being weighs 70 kilograms, but considering the high cost of the 'soul' passing through, the human unit is rounded off to 10 tons.

One human is equal to ten tons of magic power.

The earth vein crystal that Lu Cheng found with the help of Noyi restored the magic power of ten people to and from Lu Cheng, which multiplied by two is the magic power of twenty people.

The magic contained in the earth vein crystal fragment given by Elena belongs to a human being.

Therefore, with the magic power that Lucheng currently possesses, the maximum weight of items that can pass through is two hundred and ten tons.

This is enough for Lu Cheng to form a tank platoon, a tank platoon without drivers.

After confirming this, Lu Cheng contacted the Earth's research base last night and sent a multi-purpose off-road vehicle.

Having a means of transportation can make the mission more efficient and leave enough retreat routes for the Lucheng team.

"Your mounts?"

Driven by curiosity, Elena rode her walker closer to the portal on the wall.

She was very concerned about what kind of creatures the mounts of the Lucheng country were. She remembered hearing Lucheng mention the Chinese pronunciation of "horse" before, which might be the name of the mounts in their country.

“Back off!”

Lu Cheng had thought that the princess was a little dull and stupid before, but it turned out that under the control of curiosity, many people knew that it was wrong to do so, but still couldn't control themselves.

"How… "

Before Elena could say anything, a monster made of steel suddenly jumped out from the portal.

The moment the monster appeared, the walking beast that Elena was riding was instantly frightened, but Elena quickly succeeded in controlling her walking beast.

But the moment the monster suddenly fell to the ground from the portal on the wall, the entire ground shook slightly, and Elena almost fell off the back of the walking beast.
