Chapter 366

This night, the night was unusually dark, with only a few scattered stars hanging in the night sky, shining faintly!

A team composed of several thousand people was quietly rushing toward the snow mountain under the cover of the night!

The leader was Xu Que, who had successfully obtained the title of strategist, shaking his feather fan and leading the team up the mountain with Situ Haitang, preparing for a night raid!

The main force at the back of the team was also transporting a large batch of supplies, all of which were large Kong Ming lanterns and paragliders, and each soldier had been assigned an ice lolly, which they kept carefully in their bosoms.

Everyone knew the magical effect of this ice lolly and treated it as a treasure, and they were full of confidence in this battle.

But they also carried full doubts in their hearts!

Relying only on those large lanterns and large kites, can they really cross the canyon and fly to the Snow Mountain Holy Land? And this is an operation for several thousand people together?

Everyone didn't have much bottom in their hearts, but since they were already up the mountain, they could only choose to obey.

The team stepped onto the snow mountain step by step, and the True Essence in their bodies had long been completely sealed when they reached the mountainside, unable to be unleashed at all.

Xu Que was no exception, and even when his True Essence was sealed, he summoned the system to ask if it could be broken.

However, the system responded: "The level of this restriction exceeds the system's level range; it is recommended that the host upgrade the system!"

Xu Que directly ignored the system's response.

This profiteering system was clearly trying to cheat him out of Acting Cool Points. It was already at level three, and if he wanted to upgrade again, it would cost at least ten thousand Acting Cool Points!

And in the current situation, it wasn't that he absolutely needed True Essence.

So what if he couldn't use True Essence? Everyone else couldn't use it either! This King of Acting Cool only needed to spend a few dozen Acting Cool Points to exchange for a bunch of high-end martial arts, which would be enough to kill everyone in seconds!

"Young Hero Zhuge, the canyon is right ahead!" At this moment, Situ Haitang slowed her pace slightly and reminded Xu Que in a low voice.

"Good, you have the team stop, I'll go take a look!" Xu Que nodded and stepped forward, stopping at the edge of the cliff.

There was indeed a huge canyon in front of them. Visually, it was at least four or five hundred meters away from the opposite snow peak, and this canyon was bottomless. When looking down, one could only see pitch black, unable to see one's fingers, as if an endless universe was buried below.

However, on the snow peak on the opposite side of the canyon, one could vaguely see flickers of fire and human figures; it should be the Ice Armor Army stationed at the Snow Mountain Holy Land.

"System, calculate the specific distance between the two sides of the canyon, detect the wind speed, and then calculate how high we need to fly to glide across the canyon!"

Xu Que directed the system to perform the calculations.

Their current position was almost level with the opposite snow peak, so they needed to know the specific distance, then fly to a certain height, and glide across with the paragliders to land on the opposite snow peak.

"Ding, calculation complete. According to the current wind speed and other comprehensive conditions, it is necessary to rise to a height between 200 meters and 230 meters..."

Soon, the system gave a most reliable answer. With the soldiers' weights being roughly the same, according to the wind speed, they had to uniformly rise to a height of about two hundred meters to safely cross the canyon as a group and land behind the opponent's city wall!

Xu Que's mouth corners immediately lifted.

People always say that if you learn math, physics, and chemistry, you won't be afraid to travel the world, but now with the system in hand, he really wasn't afraid of anything!

"Haitang, pass the order down, let everyone put on the paragliders, lie on the Kong Ming lanterns, and don't move! I will ignite all the Kong Ming lanterns and take you all to act cool and fly together!" Xu Que said to Situ Haitang.

"This... can this really fly?" Situ Haitang was very confused, always unable to figure out how the lantern could fly without True Essence?

"Trust me, you can't go wrong. This is science, this is wisdom! Hurry up and go!" Xu Que patted Situ Haitang's head and said with a smile.

Situ Haitang was instantly flushed. As a dignified general, she was actually patted on the head like a child; it was simply a great humiliation.

But she couldn't get angry, and instead felt a burst of panic in her heart.

Fortunately, it was too dark now, and no one around saw this scene, otherwise she wouldn't know how to face those subordinates in the future.

"Young Hero Zhuge... no, Military Strategist Zhuge, if you touch me again without my permission, I will deal with you according to the military law for insubordination!"

Situ Haitang said solemnly, then hurriedly turned and walked toward the back to convey the information.

Xu Que curled his lips and shook his head slightly. Sure enough, female warriors are hard to flirt with!

Not long after, Situ Haitang returned, also carrying a paraglider on her back, climbing onto the Kong Ming lantern with nimble movements and lying down.

Then, she looked at Xu Que and said in a deep voice: "Everything is ready!"

"Good, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!"

Xu Que smiled slightly, also put on the paraglider, and lay on top of the Kong Ming lantern!

The frames of these Kong Ming lanterns were made of special wood, light and sturdy, enough to bear the weight of several people, so even if heavier people went up, they wouldn't be afraid of crushing these lanterns.

"System, check the wicks of all the Kong Ming lanterns again to see if they are all equipped with igniters!"

At this moment, Xu Que summoned the system again.

Before setting off, he had already exchanged for a bunch of igniters and had people install them on the wicks of all the Kong Ming lanterns.

Once he pressed the switch, all the wicks would be ignited, and the Kong Ming lanterns would be lit!

"Ding, check complete. All Kong Ming lanterns are equipped with igniters, everything is normal!"

"Hehe, then let's go! Let's give the other side a big surprise!"

Xu Que's face was full of excitement and stimulation. He took out a switch and pressed it with a "click".

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Instantly, a series of sounds of flames rising sounded from the back, and the Kong Ming lanterns were lit one after another, and the entire dark snowfield was instantly illuminated.

All the soldiers held their breath, waiting quietly, wanting to know how this lantern could fly.

Situ Haitang was also full of solemnity, and there was even a trace of nervousness in her eyes, staring tightly at the lantern beneath her.

Soon, in this icy snowfield, everyone gradually felt a warmth coming from the lanterns beneath them, which was very comfortable.

The next moment, their bodies suddenly felt a sense of rising.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, watching the Kong Ming lanterns beneath them slowly leave the ground and rise into the air. Everyone widened their eyes instantly, filled with shock.

It really flew?

Young Hero Zhuge didn't lie to us.

This lantern could actually carry people and fly!

It's truly too magical!

Instantly, all the soldiers lying on the Kong Ming lanterns were full of excitement and fervor.

But everyone tightly closed their mouths, not daring to make any sound, because Xu Que had ordered that before landing, no one was allowed to make any sound, not even a fart, otherwise they would be caught and hung on the city wall to be flicked a hundred times!

No one dared to try this kind of punishment that made one's crotch feel cold just thinking about it!

Thus, on this unusually quiet night, such a strange sight appeared on the snow mountain!

Several thousand large lanterns slowly flew into the high sky, dense and numerous, like stars shining brightly, illuminating the earth!

On the opposite side of the canyon, an Ice Armor soldier patrolling the city wall suddenly discovered this spectacle and exclaimed: "Look quickly, there is movement on the opposite mountain!"

"Eh?"

"What's going on? Why are there so many lanterns?"

"That's not right, how can lanterns fly?"

Instantly, the Ice Armor soldiers on the city wall were in an uproar, looking out, very surprised!

It was just that under the pitch-black night, what they could see were only those glowing lanterns, but they couldn't see the human figures on the lanterns.

This was the so-called darkness under the lamp!

"Could it be a signal released by our own people? According to the time, General Li should have already captured Snow City!" A soldier guessed.

Someone immediately shook his head: "Impossible, our signal is not like this!"

"Then it's too strange, no one on the snow mountain can use True Essence, how did these lanterns fly up?"

"I know, they must have drifted from Snow City. Maybe the people in Snow City are already desperate, so they are using True Essence at the foot of the mountain to release these lanterns to pray to Heaven!"

"Haha, what's the use of praying at a time like this? We gave them a chance to surrender before, but unfortunately, they didn't cherish it!"

"Alright, stop worrying about those lanterns, they can't drift over anyway, let's go drink!"

"Drink my ass, Empress Bing Ning is here, if you have the guts, go drink!"

"What? When did Empress Bing Ning come?"

"She came a few days ago, it is said that she went to the Holy Land to find the Water Emperor..."
