Chapter 870

Military supplies are already in place; next we set out to clear the dungeon!

Ten huge airships float in the sky, each over 130 meters long with three decks—upper, middle, and lower—said to hold 500 people, but in reality they can squeeze in up to 1000 if packed tight.

Players cannot purchase this 500‑person military‑grade large advanced airship; it can only be borrowed for special missions. Its flight speed over the Elemental Sea can reach about 25,000 kilometers per hour, 2.5 times faster than the one Li Li bought—quite impressive!

The camp has already fully supplied the divine stones needed for the flight, enough to fly all the way to Black Feather Island.

One million kilometers, requiring forty hours of flight—quite a long haul, and it'll get a bit boring along the way.

"Everyone, board the ships—by squad, squads 1‑10 on ship No. 1, 11‑20 on ship No. 2, and so on."

Five thousand players boarded the airships one after another, ready to depart.

He himself is a member of Squad 1; the squad of fifty includes his fixed team's members—Shen Di, Candle Dragon, Clear Wind Smoke Rain, etc., as well as pleasing high‑level players like Cloud‑top Smoke, Ganges Sand, and Wula.

Of course, this isn't the final formation; we'll adjust along the way to balance the distribution of classes.

The group stowed their mounts and boarded the ships; not long after, all five thousand were ready.

Xiao Feng had already told the pilots on the ten ships the destination; with a command, the ten airships began to move slowly, departing the camp amid the farewells of Huai Er Hu Te and many soldiers.

At first the flight speed was relatively slow, but as the energy circulated, the airship's speed gradually increased; after half a minute it had already surpassed the speed of ordinary mounts.

After three minutes it reached its extreme speed, flying at 25,000 kilometers per hour toward the depths of the Elemental Sea.

"The next forty hours will be a boring trip~"

Inside and outside the airship cabins there were many people; Xiao Feng, Dun Dun, and our own crew gathered in a small room.

Rooms like this number twenty or thirty on the ship; plus the hall and deck, the overall activity space is still quite ample.

"I've been training my willpower for a while; it's already close to 100,000, so I might even manage to undergo the Tribulation before the battle starts." Zhang Fan said.

"Then I'll train a bit too—two of us can play chess!" Xing Yun Miao also said.

"Me too! Three of us can play Fight the Landlord!" Li Li joined in.

Seeing everyone so diligent, Dun Dun also said, "Add me in! Four of us can play mahjong!"

Xiao Feng and Mang Mei exchanged a glance, both finding it a bit amusing.

"You guys handle the mahjong tiles; I'll play Little Tyrant." Xiao Feng laughed, then sat down and immediately entered a cultivation state.

Moreover, he was cultivating both his power and willpower simultaneously!

Eh… counting Xian Xia as well, that makes three!

Mang Mei had just broken through to the Divine level not long ago, but she likewise refused to slack off, likewise immersing herself in cultivation.

The airship sailed smoothly; players aboard either cultivated quietly or walked around, each finding their own way to pass the time.

Not long after Xiao Feng began cultivating, Candle Dragon and the others came running to find him.

"Brother Xiao Feng, assign the legion's configuration—it's a mess right now, not reliable." Shen Di said.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "I'll give you the legion's assistant authority; you adjust your guild's ten squads, and I'll handle the rest."

A large team of five thousand is generally divided equally by profession.

Each squad gets one tank and one healer, with the remaining three damage dealers freely combined.

"Hmm, we don't know the dungeon details yet, so we'll split according to the usual method; if there turn out to be special mechanics later, we'll reconsider." Candle Dragon nodded.

Xiao Feng granted them the legion assistant's authority, allowing them to reassign squad members' positions.

The four guild masters plus the Demolition Squad's vice‑master "Conquer the Eight Wastelands"—these five people can adjust the arrangement of squads 51‑100.

Xiao Feng himself adjusted the expert players in squads 1‑50, splitting them into teams and arranging them according to the standard formation.

Seeing familiar faces—for example, Cloud‑top Smoke and Zhang Fan, this couple—I tossed them together.

Player number 2500 took nearly half an hour to sort out.

Afterward, he shouted in the legion chat: "With so many people, we might accidentally scatter the fixed squads; if you need to adjust positions, private‑message me."

No sooner had he spoken than the private messages exploded—at least nearly a hundred people indicated they wanted to change positions.

He busied himself for a few more minutes and finally got the team roughly adjusted.

"After playing this game for so long, this is the first time I've led a legion—I never expected it to be this troublesome." Xiao Feng sighed.

War Heaven laughed: "This is just one legion; when we fight territory wars we have over 180 legions—if it weren't for the hall masters and helm masters helping with coordination, we'd really die of a headache."

Players aren't a real army; coordinating them without an established structure is already troublesome, and if just one percent disobey orders, everything descends into chaos!

The major super guilds have existed for a long time, gradually developing some tacit understanding, which makes things relatively easy.

This is all thanks to the mid‑ and lower‑level management; otherwise, relying solely on these guild masters would leave them as bare‑bones commanders incapable of doing anything.

"We still have a full day's flight ahead, so everyone should rest; don't go offline for no reason, or you'll be left behind mid‑journey and won't be able to catch up without the airship."

Xiao Feng gave a reminder in the legion chat, lest someone be unaware of the situation and fall behind after going offline.

The journey was somewhat boring, and some more free‑spirited players had already started chatting in the legion channel.

"Ladies of the Strongest Alliance, anyone lacking a partner can marry into your guild!"

"A level‑302 little assassin seeks shelter—any Dragon Country big sis willing to take me in~"

"Selling 【Wrath‑Flame Flying Dragon Wristguards】—fate brings us together; I'm asking only 80% of market price, and for those on ship No. 3, 70%!"

Although it's a bit noisy, the atmosphere is still fairly harmonious, with no conflicts breaking out.

Xiao Feng continued cultivating, quietly waiting for time to pass.

After a few hours, the airship had already flown far from the Flying Bird Divine Nation continent and entered the void.

The players in the legion channel turned the topic to the rewards of this dungeon run.

Someone said that 200,000 divine stones is already pretty good—we shouldn't ask for more.

Some people also said that such a difficult dungeon must still have other rewards, guessing that as a main force member, Xiao Feng should be able to obtain a main divine artifact!

As for what drops the instance might produce, Xiao Feng himself isn't sure either; he can only go with the flow and see, we'll discuss after the fight.

After another day and a half, more than half of the journey had passed; seeing that they were about to reach the destination, everyone felt a little excited.

At that moment, someone suddenly said in the legion channel: "My divine tribulation is coming..."

The speaker turned out to be Jian Zan Cang Sheng!

Jian Zan Cang Sheng was assigned by Xiao Feng to the 2nd regiment, also on the No. 1 ship.

Seeing his words, everyone was somewhat surprised.

"Wow, impressive, this is the third god-level expert in this region!"

"Are they going to undergo tribulation on the ship?"

"Will it destroy the flying ship...? Or should we stop and wait for him?"

Everyone discussed heatedly.

Xiao Feng happened to see this message and decisively said: "Let the ship go through tribulation; everyone continue forward normally, no need to stop. I'll bring him up to catch up later."

Speaking, he paused his cultivation and walked out of the cabin.

Jian Zan Cang Sheng had also arrived at the bow of the ship; energy was surging on his body, and the heavenly tribulation was about to come.

"Go!"

Xiao Feng called out, and the two flew out of the flying ship together into the void region.
