Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 731 - 1-2: A Group of Bottoms
Because the true location of Geyue Town has never been revealed to the world, the only way for the July Mercenary Team to get there is to first reach the camp of the Rebellion Mercenary Group.
After arriving at the camp, they would then use a special Transmission Array to travel to Geyue Town.
According to Feng Buhui’s estimates, even using the "Titan," the entire journey would take at least a month.
"A month? With the Titan’s speed, a month is enough to circle the entire Eastern Continent," Qian Luo exclaimed in disbelief upon learning how long the trip would take.
It wasn’t that Qian Luo was arrogant, but after her modifications, the Titan, equipped with Yue Jinghua’s improved Pulse Crystal Xuan Pills, had an astonishing speed, twice as fast as the active military empty ships of the Dragon War Empire.
So, upon hearing that the trip would take so long, Qian Luo became restless.
Although Qian Luo wasn’t a core member within the Mercenary Team, according to the rules of the Canglong Continent, those with ability occupy high positions. Despite appearing only to be in her teens, Qian Luo’s mastery of Array Master skills was so impressive that everyone held her in high respect, addressing her as Master.
"Master Qian, you do not know, there are many places on the continent where empty ships cannot travel directly. For example, within Wo Hua Imperial City, there is an order prohibiting passage of foreign and external city ships without a flight permit. Many air domains on the continent are the same—important military forts, needless to say, must be detoured or else risk being shot into a hornet’s nest. There are also deep forests, unknown rivers, and sea areas where flight is not allowed, as it may disturb the local unknown flying creatures or Sea Beasts. So, our journey this time can only take many strategic detours. Sometimes, when encountering weather like wind, fog, Thunder Flash, we also need to dock and regroup, not daring to take risks. Given this, one month is actually a full estimate; in the worst-case scenario, we might need a month and a half," Feng Buhui explained patiently.
Hearing him explain, Yue Jinghua and the others suddenly had a realization.
Chi Xi then took out an up-to-date aerial map of the continent.
This map was specially acquired by Chi Xi when they left Wo Hua Imperial City; she had used some connections to ask Yue Jinghua to get it from Little Jinuo, obtained from the Empire’s air defense.
In such long journeys, the roles of veteran mercenaries like Feng Buhui or Chi Xi become very apparent.
Yue Jinghua also understood the reason behind the saying, "Having an ’old’ member in the group is like having a treasure."
Feng Buhui has been a mercenary for over ten years, and Chi Xi even longer.
The two of them, one following tasks all over with the Rebellion Mercenary Group, have traveled more places than all the other mercenaries put together.
As for Chi Xi, being a Spiritual Food Master, she traveled all over the continent in search of various suitable cooking ingredients.
Both were clearly aware of some of the continent’s lesser-known secrets.
If it were up to Yue Jinghua’s group of young mercenaries alone, even if the Titan reached the station of the Rebellion Mercenary Group, it would probably be just a wrecked ship by then.
Although the journey was long, the group didn’t really mind, as Qin Dongting had already received a recommendation and did not need to participate in the elimination rounds, only needing to arrive within two months.
However, spending more than a month on board the ship could make for some difficult days to pass.
"Since that’s the case, let’s not be idle. You’re already well-acquainted with the Cultivation Room on the ship, and further practice won’t be of much help. Why not conduct mind training again, just like last time?" Yue Jinghua had barely finished speaking when the reaction of the mercenaries was starkly different.
"Training again?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"What training?"
Compass and Qian Luo, who had not participated in the training before, were full of curiosity.
The rest, including Qin Dongting who usually remained unflappable even as mountains crumble, twitched the corners of their mouths involuntarily.
Mind cultivation was Yue Jinghua’s special term for the Wanyi Array that the Cloud Dragon Clan had passed down to her.
Nobody knew the origins or the whereabouts of that Sword Array; it appeared to be an Illusion Array, but its effects were peculiar, and especially the Sword Qi within it was extremely fierce, capable of tearing people apart and making life worse than death.
Earlier, in order to improve the strength of the July Mercenary Team, Yue Jinghua had shifted everyone’s Divine Sense into the Thousand Swords and Ten Thousand Intentions Formation.
After just a brief seven days, everyone was already living a fate worse than death.
This time, facing a trial of more than a month, if they went in, would they even have lives to come out?
