The tablet not only displayed the footage captured by the Type 2 Globalized drone but also allowed for its control.
Operating the Type 2 Globalized drone was remarkably simple, akin to playing a video game, with intuitive controls for movement, rolls, and other maneuvers.
"This is so convenient! Hahaha!" Ye Fan exclaimed, laughing like a child as he maneuvered the drone.
The others beside him, also using tablets to control their Type 2 Globalized drones, found the experience equally enjoyable.
Su Han was piloting one of the Type 2 Globalized drones.
Each Type 2 Globalized drone was equipped with 360-degree cameras and upward-facing views.
Controlling the drone also allowed for switching to a first-person perspective, offering a view of the surrounding scenery.
Chu Shi elaborated on the new upgraded features of the Type 2 Globalized drone.
After the recent upgrade, the Type 2 Globalized drone could now fly freely at altitudes above ten thousand meters.
At such high altitudes, even magical creatures were rarely seen.
Consequently, for the first two hours, Su Han had only observed the sky, filled with various cloud formations or clear expanses.
"It's all just sky. No magical creatures at all. How boring!" Ye Fan remarked.
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly. I was hoping to use the weapons on the Type 2 Globalized drone to take down some magical creatures!"
Just as he finished speaking, a small black dot appeared on Su Han's tablet screen.
"Ah! It appeared! A magical creature!" Su Han announced.
At this moment, Su Han's Type 2 Globalized drone was positioned at the very front, with Ye Fan and Xiao Yan's drones still over three hundred kilometers behind.
Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, Zi Han, Zhou Xiaoyue, and even Chu Shi turned their attention to the screen.
On the tablet, the black dot grew closer, and the image of the magical creature finally became clear.
It was a griffon.
The griffon flapped its wings, augmented by magic, and was rapidly approaching the Type 2 Globalized drone.
The griffon looked puzzled, having never encountered anything like the drone in the distance. What could it be?
Was it food?
With this thought, the griffon flew towards the Type 2 Globalized drone.
"Do you think this griffon will attack the Type 2 Globalized drone?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Probably not!" Ye Fan replied.
On the screen, the griffon continued its approach towards the Type 2 Globalized drone piloted by Su Han.
"Of course, the griffon will attack our Type 2 Globalized drone! Look at it, approaching besides hunting, what else could it be doing?" Su Han stated.
The griffon was getting closer and closer.
"It's time to attack!"
Su Han pressed the attack button.
A gun barrel extended from the Type 2 Globalized drone.
"Rattattat..."
A burst of bullets flew towards the griffon.
Sensing the approaching projectiles, the griffon instantly maneuvered, dodging many of them. However, more bullets struck its body.
"Screech..."
With a cry of pain, the griffon turned and fled into the distance.
The high-definition camera on the Type 2 Globalized drone captured the blood dripping as the griffon retreated.
"That griffon didn't die even after being hit by bullets."
"It's surprisingly powerful!"
Ye Fan and Xiao Yan were somewhat astonished. When they had used machine guns against goblins, a single bullet was enough to kill them. Yet, this griffon, hit by several bullets, was still alive.
Zhou Xiaoyue explained, "That's understandable. Look, the firearms installed on the Type 2 Globalized drone are not high-powered weapons. They are low-powered weapons. These low-powered weapons have small recoil, allowing them to be mounted on the drone. Their power is equivalent to that of an ordinary small handgun. In rural areas, even a mad cow, after being shot once, wouldn't immediately die!"
Su Han concurred. He had heard stories of police having to fire multiple shots to subdue a charging, mad cow in the countryside.
If that was the case for a cow, it was even more so for a magical creature like a griffon!
"To kill a griffon, more bullets would be needed. But this griffon managed to escape. I wanted to eliminate it!" Su Han said with disappointment.
Ye Fan interjected playfully, "Then chase after it and attack! The griffon is injured and flying slower. If the Type 2 Globalized drone accelerates, it can definitely catch up and kill it!"
Su Han shook his head. "No, that's not feasible. This griffon has strayed far from the Type 2 Globalized drone's predetermined flight path. Pursuing it now would disrupt our flight plan."
Chu Shi nodded. "Indeed. Flying the Type 2 Globalized drone too far off course would interfere with its flight path."
Soon, the Type 2 Globalized drone piloted by Ye Fan also encountered a magical creature.
A Pegasus, smaller than a griffon, appeared around the drone.
"Vice Minister Su Han, watch my skill! I'll take down this Pegasus."
The Pegasus glanced at the Type 2 Globalized drone but did not approach. Instead, it flew further away.
"Don't go! I still want to fire a burst of bullets!"
Ye Fan controlled the drone's weapons and fired at the Pegasus.
A burst of bullets was fired, but none hit the Pegasus, as it was too far away.
"Damn, it dodged my bullets. Chu Shi, can I use the Type 2 Globalized drone to pursue them?"
"No, you cannot deviate from the route."
"Damn it, it just escaped like that!"
Xiao Yan commented, "That Pegasus didn't even seem interested in attacking the Type 2 Globalized drone. Wasn't your attack just a waste of bullets and time? But it is strange that these Pegasi can fly to such altitudes."
Zi Han replied, "This is entirely due to the Pegasus's strong abilities and abundant magical energy, allowing it to fly to such heights."
Xiao Yan, who had not encountered any magical creatures while controlling his Type 2 Globalized drone, suddenly thought of something.
Xiao Yan asked, "How much longer will it take for the Type 2 Globalized drones we are controlling to reach our destination?"
This constant flying was becoming tiresome.
Chu Shi replied, "About six more hours!"
