Chapter 344: Settling Down in Heimu Prefecture

The night was like ink, with stars dotting the boundless firmament. Cheng Feng drove his Solar-powered Off-road Vehicle, guided by the moonlight and stars, weaving between rugged mountain ranges and vast plains.

The engine sound of the flying off-road vehicle was silent in the quiet night sky.

After a rough look through the basic data stored in the Solar, Cheng Feng felt more and more that his Lucky Bag was truly awesome.

The biological data inside was meant for soldiers heading into battle as real-time reminders; it was Cheng Feng's good fortune to see so much data that didn't belong to this world.

This made Cheng Feng increasingly feel that the Great Zhou Dynasty was not the full picture of this world.

That bull-headed skeleton belonged to the Undead Sequence of creatures in the Solar's information, and based on its size, it was also an S-Rank combatant.

That was top-tier combat power for a world.

Fortunately, as long as no one disturbed it, it would not wake up on its own; deep sleep was the primary recovery method for Undead Sequence creatures.

After flying quickly past that area, Cheng Feng finally let his hanging heart drop.

"AI, confirm target location." Cheng Feng's voice was steady and firm, his eyes fixed on the flickering light point on the virtual display screen in front of him; that was the place he had to reach on this trip—Heimu Prefecture.

"Target locked, approximately three hundred kilometers from current position, estimated flight time ten minutes." The AI assistant's voice sounded inside the vehicle, carrying a hint of calm analysis.

A smile curled at the corner of Cheng Feng's mouth; Heimu Prefecture, he would arrive soon.

Ten minutes later.

Taking advantage of the night, across the mountain peaks, Cheng Feng could already see the lights of Heimu Prefecture.

The night was like a heavy curtain, quietly shrouding the earth. Amidst the absolute silence, only the distant Heimu Prefecture was brightly lit, like scattered stars, piercing through the layers of mountain barriers and reflecting into Cheng Feng's eyes.

"Prepare to land, engage ground mode." He ordered in a low voice. The off-road vehicle slowly lowered its altitude and finally landed steadily on an open flat ground. Cheng Feng took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stepped onto this newly explored land.

Cheng Feng stood at the edge of a hidden cliff. With the help of the off-road vehicle's night vision function, he could clearly see the outline of Heimu Prefecture looming in the night.

The towering city walls, the scattered and orderly buildings, and those never-extinguished lights all revealed the extraordinary and unusual nature of this prefecture. A strong impulse surged in his heart to unveil its mysterious veil and explore the stories hidden behind the lights.

"Xiaotaiyang, analyze the best path to enter Heimu Prefecture." Cheng Feng lowered his voice and issued instructions to the AI assistant.

Feeling that calling it AI all the time was a bit of a mouthful, Cheng Feng simply gave the AI a name.

"Analyzing... Considering the cover of night and terrain advantages, it is recommended to infiltrate from the valley on the east side. The guards there are relatively weak, and there is a secret path that leads directly to the Prefecture City gate. The record of being discovered is one in ten thousand." The AI assistant gave a quick reply, its efficiency and precision making Cheng Feng nod in approval.

Cheng Feng did not hesitate. He quickly returned to the off-road vehicle and adjusted the flight mode to low-altitude flight to avoid possible aerial detection.

The Solar off-road vehicle, having activated its mimicry mode, turned into a shadow, silently weaving through the valley, cleverly avoiding patrolling guards, and finally landed steadily in a dense forest near the south gate of Heimu Prefecture.

Cheng Feng stepped out of the vehicle lightly, put the Solar into his Space Ring, and using the cover of the night, he approached the south gate of the Prefecture City silently.

Cheng Feng hid in the shadows near the south gate, observing the guards at the gate.

Seeing that the Prefecture City gate was tightly shut, it was not convenient for Cheng Feng to barge in openly.

According to what Wei Zhuang said, Heimu Prefecture still had Martial Artists of the True Qi Realm sitting in command, so Cheng Feng naturally had to be one hundred percent careful.

Cheng Feng returned to the place where he first appeared, then took the off-road vehicle out of the Space Ring and activated the vehicle's mimicry mode.

Because it was already very late, he could not find a suitable place to stay, so he could only spend the night in the off-road vehicle.

However, Cheng Feng did not rest just yet; instead, he released the robot bound to his soul—Babai.

He asked Xiaotaiyang: "Can you establish a signal connection with this robot?"

Xiaotaiyang replied: "No signal receiver present, it is recommended that the driver open the robot's data interface."

After speaking, Xiaotaiyang revealed an interface two fingers wide next to the display screen and explained: "Please command the robot to insert its own data interface."

Cheng Feng asked back: "Is there any danger?"

"Yes, there is no danger, and there is a reason to perform data sharing."

Hearing Xiaotaiyang say this, Cheng Feng immediately became interested: "Babai, go and share the information."

"Yes, Master."

Babai tore a small opening in the skin of its index finger and then inserted the finger in. Instantly, a massive torrent of information poured into Babai's mind, causing Babai's electronic eyes to glow red.

This was a sign of maximum data reception.

Two minutes later, the information sharing was complete. Cheng Feng's first order was to organize the information transmitted by Xiaotaiyang and then write it into a book with pen and ink.

Cheng Feng curiously continued to ask Xiaotaiyang: "Then, now that you have achieved signal sharing, how far must the distance between Babai and you be to cause a loss of connection?"

Xiaotaiyang cleverly imitated Babai's tone and replied: "Master, relying solely on its own information transmission capability, the straight-line distance can reach one hundred li."

"If according to your plan, you and Babai can walk freely on the ground, while I can continuously keep the mimicry mode on in the air to absorb sunlight and keep charging, and at the same time, I can descend at any time to pick you up and take you away safely."

Cheng Feng couldn't help but sigh with regret; it was a pity that Xiaotaiyang was merely a pure troop transport vehicle and was not equipped with heavy firepower weapons, otherwise it would bring endless convenience.

However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, recalling his past life's experience and his wild imagination, and proposed a bold idea: "Xiaotaiyang, I thought of a way. If I let you hang a huge stone-iron heavy object in the sky, would you be able to strike targets on the ground accurately?"

Xiaotaiyang gave an answer after a quick calculation: "Master's idea is feasible, but according to the principle of gravitational acceleration, you need to prepare a circular object weighing eight hundred kilograms, and it can only exert its maximum effect in clear and sunny weather conditions. The lethal range is fifty meters around the target."

Hearing that his idealized tactic could be realized, Cheng Feng felt that he had gained another trump card for self-preservation.

He wouldn't dare to speak of those cultivators who could fly and burrow for now, but facing Martial Artists on the ground, he was just a match for a hundred men in pure close-quarters combat.

Without long-range attack methods like True Qi projection, that was just how it was.

Relying purely on external objects was not what Cheng Feng wanted, but the current situation really made it impossible for Cheng Feng to calm down, so he could only take it one step at a time.
