Tens of millions of feet in the air.

The Deep Space Lightspeed flew eastward at high speed at a speed exceeding five thousand times the speed of sound.

Eight hours later.

Through the telescope, I saw a huge yellow-green spot appearing on the ground like a gray-green carpet below.

"Coming."

In the passenger seat, Mu Feiyan, who was in charge of observation, said.

The first stop, Moyuanzhou, is almost here.

Moyuan Continent is a giant continent with a radius of nearly ten million miles, ten times larger than Dong Yuan Continent.

This continent is about 50 million kilometers away from Dongyuan Continent. If it were the previous "Feiyang", it would have taken at least a month to fly there, but now with the speed of the Deep Space Lightspeed, it can be reached in a few hours.

In addition to its large size, Moyuan Continent is characterized by an abyssal fissure that is more than a million miles long in the middle of the continent. It runs north to south and almost splits the continent in half.

Moreover, the shape of this crack is straight without any bends, and it does not appear to be caused by earthquakes, plate movements, etc.

"This should be the result of the damage to the ground caused by the ancient warrior's blow." Gao Xiuzhen speculated when he saw this crack.

Mu Feiyan took a breath and said, "One strike cut through an abyss a million miles away. How strong is that strong man?"

Jiang Ruonan behind him did not speak, but moved his eyes. The hand on the soul power crystal ball was still injecting soul power into the Lightspeed to help the spacecraft slow down.

Zhou Ming carefully controlled the spacecraft, tilted it at a certain angle, and continued to lower its height toward the continent below.

Soon entering the thin atmosphere.

Suddenly I felt stuffy in the cockpit.

Zhou Ming looked at the thermometer and saw that the surface temperature of the spacecraft exceeded 1,800 degrees.

He quickly said to Gao Xiuzhen: "Dean Gao, quickly pour soul power into the crystal ball in front of your seat and open the lightspeed's psychic shield."

Then he said to his wife beside him: "Feiyan, you also input soul power into the crystal ball in front of your seat to increase deceleration and braking."

"OK."

With the cooperation of the three women, the speed of the Deep Space Lightspeed dropped below the speed of sound.

The height from the ground is less than 10,000 meters.

Through the transparent portholes, the beautiful scenery of Moyuanzhou was presented to the four of them.

Verdant forest.

A blue lake.

Green grass.

and the smoke from small villages.

A hundred miles further, there is a town with a population of a thousand households.

Three hundred miles to the east, there is the outline of a large city.

The density of population and towns makes Yuanzhou relatively large.

However, because the spiritual revolution did not take place and national practice and industrialization were not implemented, the overall appearance is somewhat backward and primitive.

Of course, the level of development in all aspects is not as good as Wancheng and Dongyuan, but the four of them still enjoy the sight and appreciate this rather unique and exotic scenery.

In a forest fifty miles away from the big city ahead, Zhou Ming controlled the Speed ​​of Light to land in a clearing on a hill. He then took out a camouflage cloth to cover the spacecraft. The camouflage cloth had a color-changing function and could blend in well with the environment. Fusion, the probability of being discovered by humans is very low.

In addition, there is a radio transmitter on the Speed ​​of Light and a signal receiver on Zhou Ming. As long as the distance does not exceed 200 miles, he does not have to worry about the spacecraft being stolen.

Everything is taken care of.

The four people, all wearing long swords at their waists and dressed in knight-errant attire, first flew to the vicinity of the official road, then followed the official road and entered the big city.

…

In fact, Zhou Ming's expedition plan had careful planning and a procedural action plan.

Not a headless adventure.

The first thing is to find a continent.

A continent with a radius of more than 5 million miles.

Because the wider the territory, the larger the population base, the more sects and powerful people there are.

The probability of a top strong person appearing is also high.

Naturally, the number of such a huge Yuanzhou is naturally small, and only one will appear every fifty million miles.

Super continents such as Moyuan Continent are very rare when viewed from a high altitude.

The second is to collect information.

Information about the continent's power distribution, dangerous locations, unique resources, and information on powerful individuals.

Collect all this information before going on an adventure, and you won't be like those first timers who have to pay various tuition fees and fall into various traps.

In a word: maintain information symmetry with the indigenous people and avoid falling into pitfalls.

So we need to find a big city to stay.

Big cities are information exchange and aggregation centers. Only in big cities can you get enough information... Of course, there are also some gossips and fake news mixed in, which tests people's ability to filter and judge.

What news does Zhou Ming mainly want to know?

Abyssal rift.

He wanted to know more about the crack in the abyss...the people here called it the "Demon Abyss."

The city he came to was not far from the Demon Abyss, only more than 500 miles away. It was the forefront city in the fight against the "Demon Clan".

And since there are three "dark days" every year, "magic tides" will break out three times a year.

Every time the demonic tide breaks out, a large number of monsters will rush out of the demonic abyss, sweeping across the human world and devouring all living things.

There are some powerful monsters that even immortals cannot resist.

Not to mention the suffocating amount.

Therefore, every time before the magic wave arrives, the ordinary residents of this city will evacuate to the rear thousands of miles away, while the number of human monks will increase, trying to try their luck.

There are thousands of such frontier cities on a million-mile-long front line.

By the way, what is there in the monster that is worthy of human monks fighting so hard against the endless monsters in the demonic tide?

Is it to protect ordinary humans from monsters and defend the human homeland?

of course not.

These human monks don't fight for anyone, they only fight for themselves, they only fight to get rich and powerful.

There is endless wealth in the demonic tide.

The magic tide contains a shortcut to becoming stronger.

Because there are two types of monsters.

One type is the incorporeal "evil spirit", which occupies the majority.

One kind is the "monster" with entity, which occupies a minority.

The main components of "evil spirits" are soul bodies with simple consciousness, so they are the focus of collection by soul cultivators (soul cultivators, a unique group of monks in Moyuan Continent, who refine various evil spirits to strengthen themselves).

"Monsters" is a general term for various underground monsters. Some monsters are living creatures, some are composed of various minerals, and some are half souls and half entities... But no matter what they are composed of, these monsters are Very valuable.

Because monsters generally have two things in their bodies: the "spiritual core" that stores aura, and the "soul core" that stores the soul.

"Spiritual core" and "soul core" are what determine whether monsters can move and survive.

"Isn't the so-called 'spiritual core' the same as the spiritual stone that monks use daily, which is used to store and release spiritual energy."

"The so-called 'soul core' is much more valuable. It is basically no different from the extremely precious soul stone."

Speaking of soul stones, in the current Wancheng Kingdom, due to the extremely scarce local soul stone reserves, more than 95% of them can only be imported from other continents. Therefore, the price is extremely high. A piece as big as an adult's fist can be sold for 1 million.

Dongyuan Kingdom has abundant soul stone reserves, but in recent years due to excessive mining, the reserves have declined and are close to depletion, and the price has soared to 500,000 a stone.

If the price of soul stones continues to rise, the development of the psychic industry will stagnate, and the practice of the whole people will also be affected.

But Zhou Ming was surprised to find that in Moyuan Continent, even the best quality soul core only cost 50,000 spirit coins.

Soul cores of lower quality can be purchased for a few thousand spirit coins.

Even worse quality ones are sold for tens or hundreds of spirit coins.

Zhou Ming immediately realized that this was a business opportunity.

Huge business opportunity!

This is also the dream place for Wancheng Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom to solve the "soul stone crisis".

Moreover, there are endless underground monsters and endless underground treasures. As long as they capture Moyuan Continent or establish commercial ties with this continent, Wancheng and Dongyuan will never have to worry about the shortage of soul stones again.

The senior officials of Wancheng Kingdom have actually noticed the existence of Moyuan Continent for a long time, and have long wanted to get some soul cores from here to replace the soul stones.

However, the straight-line distance of more than 50 million kilometers... far exceeds the range limit of cargo ships. Only some private exploration spacecraft are willing to spend more than half a year to come to Moyuan Continent to buy a few hundred soul cores and transport them back to Ten Thousands of Soul Cores. You can make a fortune by taking the elementary school, but the transportation volume is not large.

However, in recent years, for the soul core of Moyuanzhou, Wanchengguo has successfully developed an ultra-long-range high-speed cargo merchant ship. The crew is all immortals. The maximum range is 100 million kilometers, and it can make a round trip in two months. The cargo capacity is More than 500 tons.

Once this type of high-speed merchant ship is put into use, Wan Chengguo's soul stone crisis will be completely over.

In addition, Zhou Ming is also curious about why on dark days, why do the monsters in the Demonic Abyss emerge in large numbers and attack humans crazily?

You must know that these monsters are full of treasures. Soul cultivators rely on capturing "evil spirits" and refining them to strengthen their own cultivation. The monks want to obtain spiritual cores and soul cores by killing monsters, thereby making a lot of money.

In addition, there were a large number of human monks, whose cultivation was not very high, but they also came over to join in the fun. They seemed not to be afraid of death at all.

Because after the dark day ends and the sun comes out from the east, the monsters in the demonic tide will be burned and damaged by the sun's rays, and will soon die from the sun's rays.

Once these monsters fail to return to the abyss in time, death awaits them - just like the fish and shrimps left on the beach after the tide recedes.

At that time, it was time for the human monks to go out of the city to pick up bargains.

So thinking from Zhou Ming's perspective: Those abyss monsters came out from underground purely to give experience and benefits to human monks.

As for the human monks, at most a small number of people died.

"Body."

"The human body."

"Those monsters long for human bodies. Only by possessing human bodies and returning to the abyss can those monsters become the strongest."

"The human body is a god-given body. The better the human body's qualifications, the crazier the high-level monsters will hunt for it."

"Among the demons in the demon tide, the strongest demon kings all have human bodies."

"Our human bodies are the treasures that monsters crave most."

An older monk answered Zhou Ming's doubts.

"I see."

Zhou Ming nodded.

After another day of collecting information in the restaurant, we returned to the hotel to rest.

A group of heavily armed city defense troops blocked the hotel.

what happened?

Zhou Ming felt a little strange.

After taking a few steps closer, the strong captain of the city defense army noticed him at a glance, his eyes lit up, he pointed at him and said: "He's over there, catch him quickly!"

More than a dozen city defense soldiers surrounded Zhou Ming in the center, their weapons pointed at him.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ming said with a gloomy face, he had only been here for a few days, who had he offended?

"Are you the man of those three women? You are so lucky. I'm sorry, our young master likes your woman, so you can go and die."

A trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the strong captain, and he waved his hand and said: "Kill me!"

Soldiers with knives all around were slashing at Zhou Ming.
