Chapter 926
In a hidden cave, a group of people squatted at the cave entrance with great interest, looking up at the airship gradually approaching in the void, their hearts couldn't be happier.
Half a year, a full half a year, just staying on this small plane, watching Ang farm with nothing to do, which bored them to death.
If Ang let them help, it would be fine. Even if it was tiring, it would count as having something to do. But Ang didn't let them help at all, unless it was hauling ice, dragging water, or spreading fertilizer. He didn't let them intervene in the farming work at all. According to Ang's words: Less, don't move, mine.
So Yinbi, Naji, and others ran out all day. Those of them who were inconvenient to run out were bored to death staying here. Finally, outsiders broke in, which immediately aroused everyone's interest, and even the Monarch climbed out of the grave to prepare to find some fun.
After half a year of transformation, the entire bridgehead had changed greatly. A World Tree was growing sturdily in the center of the plane. Its roots, stems, and leaves penetrated the entire plane, binding the loose, irregular gravel plane into a solid, sturdy whole.
Because Ang wanted to plant things on the surface and inside, it couldn't be seen from the outside, but in fact, the inside had long been solidified into one, somewhat similar to a velvet rock and soil solidified mixture.
And the velvet wasn't ordinary velvet, but the kind of carbonized lignin fiber used by Ang when making elf chariots, combined with tree gum, which had super high bonding strength.
This plane, which looked unremarkable on the surface, had actually turned into a carbon fiber body comparable to that of an elf chariot. If it crashed into something, it could smash a real plane into pieces. It was a bridgehead "fortress" in name and reality.
As long as it is given enough Chaos Stones, it can move, belonging to a true void fortress, not a transit stronghold like a bridgehead.
The World Tree even extended its roots to the energy tower, borrowing the divine light overflowing from the energy tower to grow in its spare time, and throwing Chaos Stones into it when it needed to move.
The vibrant plants provided the World Tree with a steady stream of vitality, and the World Tree grew sturdily, providing the best growth environment for all plants, forming a positive cycle.
In this environment, the Tree of Chaos also grew sturdily, bearing a steady stream of Chaos Stones. Food also had a bumper harvest. With water and light (divine light), various life elements had reached a balance, which could be called a material plane. Even if living creatures arrived, they could survive very easily.
Yinbi raised quite a few small fat sheep and rabbits here for Aogeli's family to prey on, but soon received a stern protest from the God of Gale, saying that eating rabbits was not friendly to it.
Yinbi hurriedly raised some four-legged lizards, letting the Gale rabbits be not "friendly" to the lizards, so it was soon Naigelis's turn to protest.
But no matter who protested, the ecology here was getting better and better. Yixianni even moved some creatures that were inconvenient to show their faces here.
Just in this situation, an airship suddenly broke in here, slowly descending from the void toward here. The words of the mage on the airship were clearly audible.
"That's not right. Why can we hear what he says so clearly?" Naigelis asked puzzled. After all, this is the void. Air is bound to the surface, and it is very thin like the Eternal Road. The airship hasn't landed yet, so the sound shouldn't be transmitted so far.
Ang pointed to the plants outside: "Forest Whispers."
The forest captured their voices and whispered them to the God of the Forest. Naigelis purely relied on Ang's light to hear so clearly.
The airship landed straight down.
"Who are these people? Their guts are too big. Don't they even scout before landing?" The Gale rabbit said with difficulty to understand.
Naigelis complained: "Scout what? Scout if there are fat rabbits here? Gale, shouldn't you lose weight?"
"Lose weight? Where am I fat? It's all meat, okay? If you have the ability, let's race. I'll give you a ninety-five-meter head start in a hundred-meter race," the Gale rabbit said angrily.
"Even if you don't lose weight, you should eat less. You're almost two meters tall. How can there be such a giant rabbit?" Naigelis nudged the Gale rabbit's butt.
The fat rabbit today has eaten too many good things. It is a full two meters tall when squatting there, sturdier than Naigelis's current figure.
"I eat little enough. I just chew on some leaves and haven't even eaten meat. It's not my fault I grew sturdy," the Gale rabbit quibbled.
"Ku Ba Da, you are chewing the leaves of the World Tree." Naigelis was so angry he wanted to give it a tail, but just as he stood up, he was pressed down by Ang.
Ang not only pressed them both down but also urged the surrounding World Trees to close, covering them up.
This action made even the Monarch unable to help but perk up, asking in a low voice: "Any discovery?"
"Mourning," Ang responded.
Everyone was startled. Is there mourning on the airship?
Now even the Monarch couldn't extend his intent. If the other party is also mourning, it is easy for the intent to be discovered by the other party if it is actively extended. He could only perceive passively. Pushing aside a crack, the Monarch quietly "looked" out.
Naigelis is the most convenient, directly sharing Ang's vision. Among the guys present, the one who sees the clearest is Ang, because all plants are his vision.
Before the airship landed, a humanoid creature jumped down from the airship. This was a humanoid creature wearing heavy armor. The specific species couldn't be seen because the armor on his body was inscribed with complex magic patterns.
These magic patterns were not buffing magic patterns but rather more like seals, sealing all his power aura fluctuations and such under the armor, revealing only a pair of dead-gray eyes.
Seeing these dead-gray eyes, Naigelis said affirmatively: "A dead person. Is it a lich?"
The heavy-armored lich landed on the ground, looked left and right, and released his intent without any concealment, scanning the surroundings in great detail, naturally including the position where Ang and the others were.
However, this almost foolproof soul scan completely failed under the cover of the World Tree. He didn't discover a pile of things in the cave, but instead gave a safe gesture to the airship above.
The airship landed immediately. Two men and two women, four mages, walked off the airship one after another. The leading male mage snapped his fingers, and a flame lit up in front of him.
This mage's eyes lit up. He canceled the air shield on his body, took a deep breath, and then shouted happily: "Can breathe, such fresh air. God, it's too magical. Why does this gravel plane have such fresh air?"
The other mages also canceled their air shields one after another and breathed happily. One of the female mages said excitedly: "Drifting for months, the air in the airship has circulated hundreds of times and is about to stink. God, this is the first time I feel fresh air smells so good."
Drifting for months? The Monarch and Naigelis looked at each other. The Monarch whispered: "Drifting for months, coming from the side of the Radiant Alliance? Could that heavy-armored lich be a mourning undead soldier?"
"Two," Ang said.
The Monarch hurriedly aimed out, only to see another identical mourning undead soldier walk out of the airship. It didn't land but flew up, patrolling the surroundings to ensure there was no danger.
However, while flying, it suddenly landed on the ground, picked a dead-man fruit, and sniffed it hard. A trace of spirit actually flashed in its dead-gray eyes.
