The hover platform drove through the portal. What appeared before the eight people was a lush forest world. The hover vehicle was surrounded by dense forest.
Su Han looked at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the hover vehicle was only one meter above the ground, so they could only see the scene within the forest from the front.
Su Han said, "Raise the hover platform to the height of the treetops."
Xiao Yan immediately raised the hover platform to a height of twenty meters. At this altitude, a much broader vista immediately opened up.
The forest was vast. As far as the eye could see, there were undulating mountain ranges. 138 Reading Network.
Chu Shi immediately took out various detecting instruments on the hover platform to conduct surveys.
Ye Fan and Lin Dong began to assemble drones, while Zhou Xiaoyue and Zi Han kept watch on the surroundings.
He Guizang, not yet proficient in assembling drones, stayed with Zhou Xiaoyue and Zi Han to maintain vigilance.
Soon, several drones were assembled and began to disperse, flying in all directions.
The surrounding environment was transmitted to Chu Shi's screen via the drones. Chu Shi quickly browsed the footage.
The trees in this forest were mostly between fifteen and eighteen meters tall, with a few standing out at over twenty meters. This type of forest resembled some of the primeval forests in Long Country.
The drones soon discovered some animals in the forest. The first to be startled were the birds. As the drones approached, flocks of birds took flight.
As the drones flew further, they soon spotted a deer in a grove of trees.
Just as the deer was spotted, a white tiger suddenly leaped out and attacked the deer.
The deer tried to escape, but the white tiger had already bitten its hindquarters. Escape was impossible.
Soon, the struggling deer slowly lost its life.
Lin Dong, witnessing this scene, exclaimed, "I didn't expect there to be a white tiger here! Such creatures are rare even in Long Country."
To get a clearer view of the white tiger in the forest, Lin Dong controlled the drone to fly closer.
As the drone approached, the white tiger released the dead deer and looked at the drone in the air with wariness.
Su Han saw the fierceness in the white tiger's eyes and said, "Lin Dong, don't fly the drone too close. Be careful of that white tiger."
Lin Dong casually replied, "Don't worry, the drone is at least ten meters above the ground. That white tiger can't possibly jump that high."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger leaped directly, reaching over ten meters high, and swiped down with a claw. The drone was instantly smashed to pieces.
"What? That white tiger can jump that high?" Lin Dong's face was filled with disbelief.
Su Han stated, "Remember, this world is a world of cultivation. This world is home to spirit beasts and celestial beasts. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the animals here are naturally far more powerful than those on Blue Star."
At this point, Chu Shi said, "Number 0, you just referred to Lin Dong by his name."
Su Han nodded and replied, "That's right, I used the name Lin Dong just now. In this cultivation world, spells that use names to curse are rare. Therefore, using names directly is acceptable. Moreover, in the cultivation world, using codenames is likely to be considered unorthodox."
Chu Shi said, "Then, Vice Minister Su Han, in that case, shall we use our real names to address each other in this world?"
At this moment, the detector began to beep with data.
Chu Shi looked at the readings and said, "The data for this world is out. The air is fine. We can breathe it directly."
The people present all removed their protective gear.
After removing their helmets, they were met with incredibly fresh air. Just breathing this air made them feel refreshed, and their spirits were significantly lifted.
"The air here is so fresh. A few breaths and I feel much more energetic!" Lin Dong exclaimed.
Su Han said, "This is more than just fresh air. The reason for this condition is the presence of a substance called spiritual energy in the air."
"Spiritual energy? What is that?" Lin Dong asked.
Su Han replied, "Let He Guizang explain it to you!"
He Guizang nodded and said, "Spiritual energy is a substance used by cultivators. Cultivation is only possible with spiritual energy. Taoist scriptures also emphasize the importance of spiritual energy. Taoists now believe that because the spiritual energy on Blue Star has become too sparse for cultivation, no one in Long Country Taoism has successfully cultivated."
"I see!" Lin Dong said.
At this moment, Chu Shi asked, "What do we do next?"
Su Han replied, "Of course, we need to find a sect to join and begin cultivating."
"Where should we look for a sect?" Lin Dong asked.
Su Han did not answer Lin Dong's question but instead asked He Guizang directly.
"He Guizang, where is the Taoist temple where you lived since childhood?"
He Guizang replied, "My Taoist temple is on the mountain."
Su Han said, "Yes, sects, like Taoist temples, are usually located on mountains. However, with sects on the mountains, we still need to find someone to ask for directions. Let's use the Global Type 4 drones to fly and see if there are any towns."
Four drones, larger than the previous ones, appeared. These drones were bigger than the previous Global Type 3 drones because they were equipped with miniaturized hover engines. Upon activation, these Global Type 4 drones hovered in the air. With the hover engines, they did not require a running start to take off.
Once hovering, the four Global Type 4 drones rapidly flew towards the distant surroundings in four different directions. The surrounding scenery quickly appeared before them.
Under remote control, these Global Type 4 drones flew out of the forest within ten minutes and soon discovered a small village. However, Su Han and the others were not interested in villages; they were looking for towns. The Global Type 4 drones continued to fly further.
Chu Shi was very interested in the scenery of the villages captured by the drones. He zoomed in and studied the attire of the villagers.
After some research, Chu Shi stated, "It's evident that the clothing in this village resembles that of ancient Long Country."
Lin Dong asked, "So, do we need to change into ancient clothing? We didn't bring any!"
Su Han replied, "Don't worry, we can purchase such ancient clothing in a town. We brought gold and silver."
A few minutes later, the Global Type 4 drones located a small town.
"Then let's set off!" Su Han said.
Following his words, the hover platform drove towards the small town.
