Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting Chapter 909 - 909 – From Heaven To Earth

909 – From Heaven To Earth
TL: BluVerse

“The exploration of the mist is as follows. The mist is formed by metallic debris, with a powerful magnetic field fused within it. The magnetic field's power controls the suspension of these metallic debris in mid-air, forming the mist. Inside the mist, there are numerous strong Source Dragons. Under the influence of the magnetic field, these mist clouds significantly affect our electronic control systems. Soul power is required to envelop the fighter jet to enable normal flight, but the consumption of soul power is enormous. Additionally, upon entering the mist, not only does our stealth effect disappear, but one will also be immediately targeted and attacked by Source Dragons. In summary, there must be secrets of the Source Dragons hidden within the mist. Otherwise, it wouldn't be guarded so tightly. Directly entering the mist from the air is not very practical with our current capabilities; it's too easy to be discovered and surrounded.”

Lan Xuanyu described his findings and judgments through the team channel to everyone, while also recording them. This could also be considered part of the exploration.

After this brief exploration, he had some understanding of why previous exploration teams either returned empty-handed or went missing after entering the mist.

The mist was like a reconnaissance radar for the Source Dragons; once you entered, you would be locked onto. The teams that could infiltrate the mist must have their own methods. Those with strong concealment abilities could return. However, once trapped inside, they would be surrounded and killed by the Source Dragons. Undoubtedly, there were many powerful Source Dragons inside.

“Yuge, analyze the situation of metallic elements on the ground near the mist. I just tried controlling earth elements, but I could hardly sense any earth elemental components in the air to manipulate; it was entirely formed by my own soul power.”

“Okay. Wait a moment.”

The thirty-three Skywing fighter jet outside the mist remained in stealth mode in the high sky, making it difficult to be detected. Tang Yuge controlled her own Skywing fighter jet to descend towards the ground below, of course, outside the mist.

After a short time, Tang Yuge's voice sounded again. “Xuanyu, the concentration of metallic elements here is very high. Even the surface of the ground is almost entirely formed by metallic elements, with the concentration exceeding eighty percent. It even surpasses the metallic element intensity of low-level Source Dragons themselves.”

Lan Xuanyu's heart stirred. “So, does that mean the ground here is like Dragon Source Gold?”

Tang Yuge said, “You could say that. This is still the outer area of the mist. I have sensed the interior through contact with the ground. The ground inside the mist likely has even stronger metal elements.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. “Can we use Metal Escape to infiltrate?”

“We can. Should I go in and check?” Tang Yuge asked.

Lan Xuanyu said, “How many people can you take through Metal Escape at most?”

Tang Yuge replied, “Three people should be no problem; taking more would consume a lot and affect the speed. Also, speed cannot be guaranteed.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. “Alright, Zhuohan, I'll leave command of the thirty-three Skywings to you. I, Xiuxiu, and Mengqin will follow Yuge to infiltrate for reconnaissance. Be ready to support us outside.”

“Understood,” Ding Zhuohan's voice came through.

It was evidently impossible to enter from the sky. With the formidable mist as a weapon, they would immediately be surrounded as soon as they flew in. Since they couldn't go up, they could only go down. Tang Yuge's Metal Escape technique would be most effective at this time.

She wasn't limited to taking only three people; even if all thirty-three Skywings were present, she could still take them in. However, with fewer people, she could maintain combat effectiveness without affecting her burrowing speed. Moreover, such infiltration was undoubtedly very dangerous and not suitable for everyone to participate in.

Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Mengqin's three Skywing fighter jet flew towards the ground, finding an open space to land. They retracted their Skywing Mechas and converged with Tang Yuge. Within the mist area, where the interference of the magnetic field made Mechas unsuitable for use, relying solely on the abilities of Soul Masters to enter was the best choice.

Lan Xuanyu established a coordinate at the landing site, which served as a guide for their direction and also provided guidance for the Skywing fighter jet in the air.

He buried the coordinate Soul Compass into the ground, ensuring communication with his own soul communicator and the special channel for his airborne companions. Lan Xuanyu spoke in a solemn tone, “Zhuohan, while I'm away, you'll command the thirty-three Skywings. Wait time is until the energy of the Skywing fighter jet reaches 50%. If we haven't returned when the energy of the Skywing fighter jet is at 50%, immediately retreat and return to the base. Please ask Master Wang to support us. After entering the mist area, we will lose contact. Regardless of any internal activity, do not enter without my explicit instructions.”

“Understood!” Ding Zhuohan's voice also became slightly tense. He had no problem commanding the team, but at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a bit worried. The fact that this mist area could shield various signals was the most troublesome thing.

However, Lan Xuanyu didn't hesitate too much; they couldn't afford to waste time now that they were here. They had Tang Yuge's Metal Escape technique, which was already a unique advantage. The most challenging part of this Level 5 Sentinel task was likely the infiltration.

After checking the time on the soul communicator and calculating the progress of the energy consumption of the Skywing Mechas, Lan Xuanyu estimated that they could only operate inside for a maximum of three hours before they needed to come out and contact their companions.

“Yuge, let's go!” Tang Yuge raised her right hand, and a faint golden halo expanded, enveloping Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Mengqin. The four of them stood together, and the next moment, they silently sank into the ground.

Even if there were earth elements in the ground here, it didn't matter; Tang Yuge also had Earth Tunneling. Combining Metal Escape with Earth Tunneling, it didn't affect her ability to infiltrate.

“After entering, restrain your spiritual detection within a certain range to avoid being detected by the magnetic field. We still can't confirm whether the magnetic field can only detect metal devices or whether any life forms can be detected upon entry. This includes whether they can be detected below ground,” Lan Xuanyu reminded.

“Got it.” Tang Yuge responded again and quietly led them to infiltrate.

Under the faint golden light, they could see the surrounding hard soil melting away to the sides as if it were water. Tang Yuge stood at the forefront, her body surface already turning into a golden color, while the three of them followed behind her, moving at a steady pace.

The reason Lan Xuanyu chose to bring Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Mengqin was because Lan Mengqin had control and healing abilities, and Bai Xiuxiu possessed explosive range and the corrosive ability of the Abyssal Ice Demon Dragon, both of which were highly destructive against Source Dragons.

All four of them were proficient in both offense and defense.

Ten minutes later, Tang Yuge slowed down their pace and said, “We've entered the mist area. We're currently on the edge.”

Lan Xuanyu spoke in a low voice, “Let's stop for a moment and see if any Source Dragons are attacking us. Everyone, be prepared for battle.”

All four of them released their Battle Armor and stood still, waiting quietly.

It was currently unknown where the magnetic field originated from. If it was released from below ground and could detect any existence beyond Source Dragons, then even if they infiltrated from underground, they would still be discovered. Before delving deeper, they could still escape at any time.

Earlier, they encountered an attack as soon as they entered from the air. What about entering from the ground?

Time passed second by second, and vaguely, they could even feel the vibrations above the ground. There should be large Source Dragons passing by.

But their luck was undoubtedly very good. Although the magnetic field here affected electronic devices and could even detect fighter jet flying in the air, they had not been discovered. They also hadn't encountered any Source Dragon attacks.

Tang Yuge gave Lan Xuanyu a questioning look, and Lan Xuanyu gave her a thumbs-up. “Have you found anything?”
