Xiao Qi's loud voice echoed in everyone's ears. Without any time to rest, the assessment began directly.
Everyone was feeling somewhat nervous, but Lan Xuanyu was one of the few candidates who remained calm.
At least Qian Lei and Liu Feng who were beside him felt that he was very calm, and they would unconsciously feel particularly at ease when they were with him.
How lucky it is to have such a teammate!
There are several other people who are as calm as Lan Xuanyu, such as Lan Mengqin, Dong Qianqiu, and Yuan Enhuihui.
A locator was distributed to everyone, along with a small supply bag.
Lan Xuanyu put on his locator and debugged it a little. The locator was very simple, and they didn’t know how to implement the recording function. The rest was just a simplest positioning function that could display a map within a certain range, but the map was very rough. There was no specific terrain in many places, only the approximate landform and distance display.
The supply pack is even simpler, with three 500ml bottles of water and two high-calorie compressed foods.
Lan Xuanyu jumped on the spot and stretched his body. At this time, Bing Tianliang, Yu Tian, and Lin Donghui had come over. Dong Qianqiu also pulled Lan Mengqin to his side.
Since the transportation is to be done by transport planes, no one knows how big the transport planes are or how many there are, so it is naturally the best option for them to set off together.
Not only them, other candidates also gathered in groups of three or five, and most of them were discussing something in a low voice.
Lan Xuanyu had been observing these candidates, and he found that these candidates were indeed of high quality. After arriving here, very few of them showed fear, but many of them were excited again. From time to time, their eyes would turn to those huge mechas and the warships in the sky.
Lan Xuanyu himself was also very excited. That was a real battleship! One day, he would become a captain and command a battleship, or even a fleet to fight. What a brilliant achievement that would be!
Soon, the distribution was completed and the candidates were taken to a large transport plane and boarded under the command of the military.
The soldiers all had blank expressions on their faces, and showed no sympathy just because they were children.
The transport plane accelerated and took off. Lan Xuanyu could see through the porthole that there were more than a dozen soul guide fighters and more than thirty mechas taking off with the transport plane.
These fighter planes and mecha guards flew in one direction around the transport plane.
In the sky, the direction of flight at this time seems to be the direction of the blue sun. Of course, this is only relative.
Lan Yang, Zi Yang. It's quite interesting.
The heaven and earth energy here is very abundant, which is exactly the opposite of the thin air. At least it is conducive to the recovery of soul masters. For many candidates, this should be an important reason why the Federation wants to occupy this place.
Lan Xuanyu remained calm the entire time, carefully observing everything around him, including the transport plane, the soldiers, and the mechas and soul guide fighters outside.
This is an ordinary soul-guided fighter for ground missions. Compared with interstellar fighters, it is smaller in size, but more flexible. However, its flight speed and altitude are limited. At most, it can fly at twice the speed of sound.
Lan Xuanyu lowered his head and looked at the locator on his wrist. On the locator, there was the exact location of the base he had just visited, as well as his current distance from the base.
The transport plane flew very fast. In just ten minutes, it was more than a hundred kilometers away from the base.
Looking down from the porthole, they were flying along the edge of the desert and soon entered a mountainous area with complex terrain and some plants that were different from what they had seen before. Most of the plants were blue and purple.
Ten minutes later, they crossed the mountain range and were more than 200 kilometers away from the base. Lan Xuanyu was speechless. Returning to the base within three days? Isn't this just a pipe dream? This means crossing the entire mountain range. If there are no enemies, it's fine. But if there are enemies...
Just as he thought of this, suddenly, there was a roar from the front. Many candidates hurried through the porthole.
In the air, the battle has already taken place.
Hundreds of huge, bird-like creatures were attacking them.
Each of these birds has a wingspan of five meters. They have slender bodies but two pairs of wings. Their heads and abdomens are relatively large. Their flying speed is not very fast, but they can spit out streams of purple-red light from their mouths, like soul-guided rays.
But the army seemed to have gotten used to these monsters. The mechas in front quickly gathered together. They all had heavy shields in their hands, and their soul energy was released, turning into large energy shields to block the attacks of these strange birds. At the same time, soul cannons and soul rays fought back.
The soul-guided fighters guarding on both wings also launched attacks on those strange birds.
The monster birds looked thick-skinned, but the power of their soul guide rays and soul guide cannons was extraordinary. After a while, more than a dozen monster birds were killed, and the others retreated.
Lan Xuanyu discovered that among the many mechas, several were sent towards the direction where the monster bird that was killed earlier landed.
“Uncle, what kind of creatures are those strange birds? Are there any spoils on them worth taking back?” Lan Xuanyu asked in a low voice to the warrior sitting next to him.
The soldier glanced at him and said, "We use the simplest names to name the creatures here. These are the big-bellied purple withers. They are good at spitting corrosive venom. The purple-red light is. There are poison sacs in their stomachs. And all creatures on this planet have a kind of crystal core in their heads. These crystal cores are very special. They are the source of their ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth. It is a bit like the spiritual sea of our soul masters, but it is solidified. If our soul masters use these crystal cores to assist in cultivation, it will be very helpful to improve spiritual power. So, if you kill monsters, remember to collect the crystal cores and return to the base to exchange them for merits."
Lan Xuanyu was overjoyed when he heard this. A treasure that can improve spiritual power? He had never heard of this before! There are very few ways for humans to cultivate spiritual power, and they are all extremely precious. Under normal circumstances, it can only be improved through meditation, some external stimulation, and aging.
The strength of mental power is one of the fundamental reasons for the strength of a soul master. In a sense, with the development of soul guide technology, the role of mental power is becoming more and more important and is no longer inferior to soul power.
The creatures on this planet can actually produce products that can enhance spiritual power. No wonder the Federation attaches so much importance to it and even sent a federal fleet here to suppress it. It’s just that I don’t know to what extent the planet has been developed and colonized.
Lan Xuanyu is not the only smart person. After the battle just now, many students have found out the relevant situation.
Whether you take the crystal core back to practice or exchange it for merit, it is a very good choice! Most candidates have the opportunity and are not so afraid of danger.
The transport plane flew for 45 minutes before slowly descending. At this time, according to the positioning device, they were about 500 kilometers away from the base. On the way, they encountered several attacks from the creatures of this planet, some flying and some even jumping from the ground to attack. Lan Xuanyu and his companions also learned the names of some monsters from the soldiers.
The transport plane slowly descended, escorted by soul-guided fighters and mechas.
When the transport plane was about 200 meters above the ground, it hovered in the air, the cabin door opened, and the fierce wind immediately filled the entire cabin.
"Everyone get off the plane and start your assessment." An officer shouted loudly. br>
