All the students and shooters returned obediently to their designed stronghold under Ye Chong's orders, where they awaited for further instructions . Even Jin Weidong was asked to return to the stronghold . Before this, he was asked by Ye Chong to purchase a large amount of supplies .
The warehouse was becoming the largest structure in their stronghold . It was fully stocked with supplies . Their next expedition was going to take a long time . They would most likely not return to their stronghold very soon . Ye Chong had used up all the food they had to make nutrition pills, so that they could bring more of them . Nutrition pills were not appetizing, but they were small and convenient to carry about . Besides, it provided all the energy and nutrients they needed .
As a precaution, Ye Chong made enough nutrition pills to last everyone in the warship for three years . Huge containers of nutrition pills were neatly arranged on the ship . The ship's cargo hold was also loaded with other supplies . No one knew what laid ahead of them . The better prepared they were, the more likely they would survive . Ye Chong was never one to complain about complicated preparation works .
He had also brought many top grade energy crystals to make sure they had enough power in Darkniss . Even the vastly influential Yan Family took a lot of effort to procure all the energy crystals they needed . Ye Chong paid an equivalent price for these energy crystals . However, the energy crystals still did not seem enough for him . The teardrop mineralite would be his backup power source for the warship Darkniss .
Nevertheless, he could not use up all the teardrop mineralite he had . If they really found a spatial window that led to the He Yue Galaxy, the teardrop mineralites were necessary to make the spatial window wider .
All the students had their orders . They knew that a long journey was ahead of them . These young people were very excited by the prospects . Many of them dreamed of adventuring in uncharted territories, but no one knew what their destination would be . The shooters were used to it, however . Every Level 6 shooter had their fair share of risky expeditions .
Jin Weidong and his comrades tried to glean some information from Ye Chong about the expedition, but they all failed .
In fact, they were only worried that Ye Chong would want to attack another country . Eastern Cloud was now at its peak in power; Northern Lands was prosperous; both countries were too powerful to make an enemy of . They knew exactly the kind of military strength Ye Chong had . Ye Chong had soldiers from all three countries, but Western Frost nationals were outnumbered by the other two .
They hoped that Ye Chong would not attack any of these countries . As long as Ye Chong did not attack their home countries, they would be more than willing to follow his lead . Hence, Jin Weidong and his comrades were worried that Ye Chong would choose Western Frost as his next target . After all, Ye Chong was now a man with great power, and no man in his position would be anything less than ambitious .
When all the preparations were done, Ye Chong ordered for them to depart .
They left three strongholds behind, leaving everything but some of the high precision equipment . Ye Chong never returned to these strongholds . These three abandoned strongholds were later on viewed as miracles . Shooters who ventured into Darkniss were all afraid of these three magnificent structures . Anything that tried to approach the stronghold would be killed . The overwhelming firepower was terrifying . No one knew that the strongholds were actually unoccupied . Ye Chong gave the extra supplies he had to Mei Wu . He had invited Mei Wu to join him for this expedition, but Mei Wu had politely declined .
It was only 400 years later that Darkniss was accessible to common people . The mystery behind these three strongholds were gradually unraveled then . That was another story, however, that had nothing to do with Ye Chong now .
Ye Chong's order to abandon the strongholds surprised his students . They could not understand why their commander would abandon them, considering how sturdy those buildings were and all the things they left inside . Having lived in the strongholds for so long, some of the students missed the place .
The commander's orders were to be followed to the letter, however . Building another stronghold would not be a challenge anyway . That was how the students consoled themselves . Nevertheless, they soon grew used to life on their ship .
When Jin Weidong and his comrades saw their ship heading towards the Sea of Threads, they all felt relieved . Darkniss was now Ye Chong's territory . Since the students hunted outside everyday, the animal population in Darkniss had greatly reduced . Despite the threat of these humans, the animals did not dare to migrate further inwards beyond the Sea of Threads .
The warship Darkniss flew at a low altitude, a suffocating presence in the darkness of Darkniss . The animals on the ground could not fathom what this giant being was . They laid low and trembled in fear, hiding their heads inside the fungus threads .
The Sea of Threads seemed so wide and endless . The threads swayed gently, creating an illusion of ripples in the field of colloid fungi . Harvesting works on the Sea of Threads did not seem to affect it much .
"Switch to optical view . " The wide and spectacular view of the Sea of Threads came onto the screen .
Inside the warship, people gasped in awe . They had never ventured into the Sea of Threads before . Even the harvesting works were done only at the edges of the place .
Once they were inside the Sea of Threads, all connections they had with the strongholds were lost . The Sea of Threads blocked all forms of signals .
The Sea of Threads was dead quiet . There was nothing but the wide field of blue threads . As time passed, the crew became bored of this monotonous view .
Crew members in the bridge remained on duty, while the rest of the students resumed their normal routines . Warship Darkniss had all the facilities they needed . Crew members could train like they did before onboard the ship .
Of course, the ship was not fitted with any entertainment facilities, as was Ye Chong's wish .
Warship Darkniss maintained a high velocity course through the Sea of Threads . There were no obstacles in their flight path, and no wild animals to disrupt their journey .
The flight went on smoothly! It took only three days for them to clear the Sea of Threads . The colloid fungi did not interfere with the ship's flight capabilities, but they were a natural deterrent for wild animals . Since animals in Darkniss were sensitive creatures, they harboured a deep and primitive fear against the Sea of Threads, where their senses were significantly affected .
No animal had ever tried to breach the Sea of Threads . Even the six-fingered red-tailed beast had chosen the dangerous path in the crack to cross the Sea of Threads .
Once the students realized that they were out of the Sea of Threads, they felt most energetic . The students looked at the holographic screens in their rooms, curious of what was outside .
Before Matron Rui Bing and her companions arrived, no human had ever set foot into this place . Sha Ya had never heard of the place . Even the most legendary shooter in history, Lascher, had never been here before . Sha Ya studied the unending mountain ranges on the holographic screen, carried away by its magnificence .
Ye Chong followed Sang Kan's directions and direct the ship towards where they first arrived in this world .
The 10-kilometer long warship flew less than three kilometers from the ground . Seen from down below, the structure was terrifying . As the ship dragged its shadow across the earth, the wild animals ran away as fast as they could . Even the snowshade leopard made its escape without delay . The students felt proud that the powerful animal was so intimidated .
The warship did not fly too quickly, since the area was unfamiliar to them . For everyone's safety, Ye Chong decided against a speedy course towards their destination .
"Sir, we found something . " A crew member reported excitedly through the comm device in Ye Chong's ear .
Ye Chong felt invigorated . They had been flying for days without anything interesting to show for . He asked promptly, "What is it?"
"We scanned the area and found no metals or energy crystals in the vicinity . " The students had learned to use the word "metal", which was actually just gravstone .
"No metals or energy crystals?" Ye Chong thought to himself in puzzlement . This new place was separated from the familiar Darkniss by the Sea of Threads, but these two places were in fact not too far apart . How could there be such a huge difference in the environment? This was a qualitative distinction, not a quantitative one .
As Ye Chong considered the matter, the crew member continued, "We also found traces of mining . "
"Mining?" Ye Chong opened his eyes wide . The first thought that came to him was - were there any other humans in this place?
"Link the feed here . " Ye Chong ordered calmly .
Ye Chong studied the holographic screen intently . There were traces of digging on the ground, and some holes left behind . Ye Chong studied the marks and dismissed the possibility of human mining . He could not think of any human tools that would leave marks like these . The holes were uneven in width and depth . Some of them looked like they were left behind a long time ago .
Soon, a mech emerged from the warship Darkniss to collect earth samples from these holes . Analysis results soon confirmed that there was a much higher metal content in the earth compared to its surroundings . The holes must have been where metal ores were buried .
However, scanning results from their warship concluded that there were almost no metals in this place .
This might seem like a petty issue for some, since they no longer needed metals, but Ye Chong thought of a different and related problem . This was because he knew that animals like the snowshade leopards and red-tailed beasts were dependent on metals . Now that they were no metals here, they would have to find another place to survive .
Was this the reason for the invasion of the red-tailed beasts?
Ye Chong could not be sure, but he could tell that this was probably a huge contributing factor . WIthout metals and energy crystals, these animals could not live and prosper in this place .
If he was a red-tailed beast, he would definitely find a new place to call home .
However, Ye Chong could not understand how the red-tailed beasts could possibly manipulate spatial windows . It was an infinitely complicated skill . He went through his memories, and found that that might not be the case . He remembered the red-tailed beasts entering He Yue Galaxy through spatial windows, but the creatures had never used spatial windows in battle .
He remembered also the eight-fingered red-tailed beast he saw in the underground cave and the spatial window in there . Ye Chong had obtained a sizable amount of teardrop mineralites that time, and met the red-tailed beast for the very first time . That spatial window must have been a naturally occurring one .
Perhaps Aried was right . Perhaps this new place had many naturally occurring spatial windows .
Ye Chong felt excited about the implications of his deductions . If they could really find a spatial window that led to the He Yue Galaxy, he would be able to return to Mu and Shang .
In the whole wide world, only Mu and Shang, Rui Bing and a few other people meant so much to Ye Chong .
Darkniss made its slow way forward . They encountered snowshade leopards and Gold Dragons, and even stronger animals . Curiously, they did not see any red-tailed beasts . Their territories must be entirely separate from these other creatures .
Sang Kan had an excellent sense of direction . He did not even lose his way in the Red Sea, much less in a place where he had traveled through before .
On the bridge, Ye Chong stood upright before the holographic screen . Rui Bing was in her white training garb, standing quietly beside him . The students all knew of Matron Rui Bing's quiet temperament, but they respected her regardless . On the one hand, she was their commander's wife . They all heard Sang Kan referred to Rui Bing as Madam, so it was only natural for them to assume this . Besides, Ye Chong never corrected their way of addressing her . This further convinced them that they were right about Rui Bing's status .
The Matron's strength was another reason she gained respect from the students . Few knew exactly how powerful she was, but Sang Kan was easy to gauge . After all, he was always eager to train with the students . Even someone as strong as Sang Kan spoke of the Matron's abilities with great respect .
Whenever the Commander went on an important operation, he would only ever bring the Matron with him . This further increased the mystery surrounding Rui Bing .
"Sir, look!" A crew member cried out suddenly and pointed in front of them .
