There is still a short period of time before Fengpeng sets off.

Zhang Xiaoman did not sit alone in the hotel waiting, but stood on the third deck, admiring the surrounding environment.

Probably because there is no industrial pollution, the air and plants in this world are very clean.

The crisp green color combined with the vast grassland will make people feel relaxed and happy when they see it.

Feng Peng is so huge that the blue whale, the largest animal on Aqua Blue Planet, is just like a pocket toy in front of it.

Zhang Xiaoman made a visual inspection and found that the body length of this guy alone was probably nearly 150 meters, and his wingspan was even more exaggerated and terrifying.

If it flew over the city, it would be an exaggeration to say that it would block out the sky and the sun.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult for such a huge body to fly without relying on magic power.

But Feng Peng is not a bird in the ordinary sense. It is said that this creature has the blood of this part of the sub-dragon, which can be seen from their appearance.

Although Fengpeng has the word "peng" in its name, its appearance is far from that of an ordinary bird.

Its back is very wide and it has six legs, lying on the ground like a huge lizard.

What amazed Zhang Xiaoman the most was that this creature had twenty-four pairs of wings, which were distributed on both sides of its body like the wings of an airplane.

If they are active on the ground, they will retract their wings to protect their backs like an insect's carapace.

Once it is time to fly, the twenty-four pairs of wings will stretch out. The largest wing is nearly 500 meters wide, and the two sides combined are more than one kilometer wide.

Now Zhang Xiaoman finally understood why the people here built such a huge pasture specifically for it.

With such a huge volume, even a smaller place would not be able to accommodate its activities.

Not to mention anything else, the airflow caused by the flapping of the wings would probably directly tear apart the surrounding buildings.

It's a pity that although these Fengpeng are huge in size, their level is not high, and they are only at the level of mid-level monsters.

Their huge bodies limit their reaction power and speed, making them unable to engage in aerial combat. Moreover, they do not have much magic power, so they can only run away for their lives when encountering enemies.

But no matter what, their size is here after all. Even if the magic power in the body is limited, not all creatures can be bullied.

Ordinary flying monsters would probably not dare to approach Fengpeng due to its size. The only ones that can be called natural enemies are those sub-dragon species and real giant dragons.

At this moment, the passengers for this trip have already taken their seats one after another.

Fengpeng has a very large passenger capacity and can carry about 800-1,000 people at a time.

Of course, if this number is converted to a Covenant spacecraft of the same size, it would seem a bit low.

After all, the flight methods and civilization levels of the two are also different. One uses dark spirit mechanical technology, and the other is a simple biological load, and the efficiency is not the same.

These passengers are mainly divided into three parts.

The first part is merchants and mercenaries like the Pillai caravan, who are also the largest group of people.

The other part is some wealthy people who go to the royal city with their own purposes. Fengpeng naturally becomes the most convenient means of transportation.

As for the last part, they are some plainly dressed civilians.

Either because of their studies or work, they have no choice but to spend a lot of money to take this expensive means of transportation.

Zhang Xiaoman saw many young children among them. According to Pillai's explanation, they all went to Talata to enroll in the Huangyu Demonic Martial Arts Academy.

Every year when the God's Advent Festival is approaching, it is also the day when the famous Demonic Martial Arts Academy in the Royal City recruits students for the new year.

If the children can pass, they will be lucky enough to study in this institution in the coming year, which will completely change their lives.

However, this kind of enrollment is also subject to strict conditions. To put it simply, whether they can pass or not ultimately depends on their talent and qualifications.

"Oh? What if they fail to pass the assessment? Riding the Fengpeng is not cheap, so one gold coin should be a big burden for them, right?"

Zhang Xiaoman asked, looking at the crowd below.

On the side, Pillai stood half a step behind and explained in a slightly emotional tone:

"If they fail to pass the assessment, there is a high probability that they will continue to stay there and find a job or something... Talata is too far away from here, and it is almost impossible for them to come back by other means than Fengpeng... "

Zhang Xiaoman understood. It turned out that this was a one-way ticket with no turning back. No wonder those people below all looked like crying.

If these children are lucky enough to be selected by the academy, they should be able to earn their own money and come back after completing their studies in a few years.

But if you are unlucky and don't have the corresponding qualifications, you can only find a job locally to support yourself first.

As for whether there will be a chance to spend another gold coin back in the future, that is another matter.

He sighed. It seemed that every world was the same. Those who could truly experience the sufferings of this world were the ordinary people living at the bottom.

After waiting for a while, all the parents who came to see him off reluctantly left the deck. The animal trainer then informed everyone that Feng Peng was about to take off.

"Buzz!"

A stream of light flashed, and a light blue shield enveloped the area of ​​​​the hotel. It was the mage accompanying this time who took action.

As if it was a signal, the huge monster under everyone's feet also reacted at this moment.

I saw its twenty-four pairs of wings spread out one after another and began to flap powerfully.

The grass on the surrounding lawns fell to both sides with it as the center, and the animal trainers at the training point had already retreated hundreds of meters away.

But even so, everyone still needs to firmly hold on to the pillars around them, otherwise they will be blown down by the strong wind if they are not careful.

Zhang Xiaoman was inside the barrier and didn't feel anything unusual.

Because Feng Peng was too big, the takeoff process was a bit slow, and everyone on its back also felt a large bump.

Fortunately, after this super-large monster really soared in the sky, the bumps gradually became smaller and finally stabilized.

All the passengers came to the edge of the deck out of curiosity and looked at the scene outside through the barrier cast by the mid-level mage.

"Tsk, a bunch of bumpkins..."

Near the hotel, several men and women in gorgeous clothes cast contemptuous glances at this group of people.

They all stood far away from the group of civilians, as if they would contract some infectious disease if they were any closer.

Zhang Xiaoman secretly felt funny when he saw this.

He could feel that these people also wanted to see the scenery outside, but they were all reserved and unwilling to leave the vicinity of the hotel.

It seems that once you go over and take a look, you will appear to be the same as those common people, making others think that you have not seen the world either.

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, turned around and went back to the hotel to practice.

For him, he has experienced high-altitude journeys like this countless times, and he has long lost interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery.

If you have this time, you might as well improve your dark spiritual power and devote all your time to practice.

About two hours passed in this kind of flight, and the passengers outside gradually calmed down from their initial excitement and returned to their hotel rooms.

Considering the distance, the facilities in these lodges are relatively simple. Ordinary rooms don't even have a bed to lie down on.

Two hours is almost half the journey. In order to save space, there is really no need to decorate this place too perfectly.

The room Zhang Xiaoman was in was one of the few places here that had a bed. He was currently sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, running the technique of drowning the sky in his body.

Because he has used an unprecedented cultivation method, he can only rely on the Drowning Heaven Jue to accumulate his upper limit of dark energy. It is still difficult to truly rely on this to achieve a breakthrough in realm.

Zhang Xiaoman felt that he seemed to have reached a bottleneck period.

Although the accumulation of dark energy is still about the same as before, there is no change. It only needs to be improved step by step.

But his use of dark energy in the new realm began to become less and less.

Most of the books that can be preserved in the Tianyuan Sect's library are low-level techniques, and those of mid-to-high level are basically stored on jade slips.

But after encountering this great change in the world, the jade slips were all invalidated, so many good skills were also lost.

If you want new skills to be used, you can either extract them through the system or develop them yourself.

But it was very difficult to develop it by himself, and since he was in a different world now, how could he calm down and study it carefully?

When Zhang Xiaoman was practicing a new move, he suddenly heard some commotion outside the hotel, followed by a violent shaking, causing the things in the room to slip off the storage table and scatter all over the floor.

"Orc! It's the Orc Wind Cavalry!!"

"Help! Run! Run! Don't block me!!"

"Oh my God! Why do we encounter the Orc Wind Cavalry here! This is the territory of the Kingdom of Adren!"

"..."

A series of cries came from all directions. Zhang Xiaoman opened his eyes and looked outside with his luck vision.

In the sky, there were about three hundred figures exuding dark spiritual power following him and others. From time to time, they could be observed to project one or two attacks towards them, hitting the wind-controlling knot. The world is buzzing.

These guys fly very fast and are very flexible. They form a formation from front to back and left to right, easily surrounding the wind roc in the middle.

But perhaps because they were concerned about the opponent's huge size, they did not approach rashly, but continued to consume them in the distance.

"boom!!"

The door was violently opened, and several panicked figures ran in.

These people seemed to be tourists downstairs. They might have been frightened and had no choice but to hide in his room.

After taking a look at these people, Zhang Xiaoman didn't mean to argue with them, but slowly stood up and walked out against the crowd that would come in from time to time.

Perhaps because they were afraid of being affected by the fighting outside, these people quickly closed the door after he left, and then pushed several heavy pieces of furniture behind him, acting as if they were cowering.

Outside, the battle between Fengpeng Hotel and the Wind Cavalry has begun.

One of the two mages is always blessing the wind barrier to prevent the lives of the passengers in the hotel from being threatened after the barrier disappears.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The remaining mage was constantly throwing fireballs towards the back on the deck, trying to block the pursuit of the group of orcs.

After Zhang Xiaoman came outside, he finally saw clearly what these orcs looked like for the first time.

Their whole bodies were covered with a layer of short green hair, and they had a big bloody mouth and two palms full of claws.

He had always seen it in books before, but this time he finally saw it alive. It turned out that it was an orc.

Compared with the appearance of ordinary people, those guys are as ugly as beasts.

However, although they are ugly, they are still very strong in terms of strength, especially this kind of air encirclement operation. In just a short period of time, they are already on the verge of breaking in.

"Your Excellency Ji Xing!"

Around the corner, a tall and thin figure ran over, but it was Pillai, the captain of the caravan.

"Huhuhu~ Mr. Jixing, are you okay~ We were attacked by the beasts. Oh my god, this is really terrible!"

Pillai had a confused look on his face and quickly recounted what he had just seen.

In fact, there was no need for him to describe it. Through the situation at the scene, Zhang Xiaoman had already roughly understood the current situation.

But what shocked and confused him and everyone else was why the Orc Kingdom, thousands of kilometers away, suddenly sent wind cavalry here.

Do you know that although the various ethnic groups on the mainland have been fighting openly and secretly, at least they still maintain peace on the surface?

But now, the orcs ignored the armistice agreement and sent the wind cavalry directly into the human territory, and even launched an attack on the park that had been full of passengers.

This is the other party wanting to declare war!

Pillai's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his mind was now blank. As soon as he encountered the attack, he ran to the place he thought was safest.

"Boom boom boom!"

In such a short period of time, the outer barrier finally could not withstand the bombing of the orcs, and suddenly it turned into pieces of light and shattered.

For a moment, strong winds poured into the hotel, blowing all the furniture inside topsy-turvy, and some even fell apart due to this.
