Chapter 115: Ravaging the Wilderness (d)
"How does this thing fly?" Marvin curiously asked.
"It's a funny topic. You see, the metal used to create this flying disk wasn't worth a single cold coin until the gateways connecting our world opened. This metal has an anti-gravity property, which only comes into play when electric current courses through the metal surface. That in turn, causes it to fly. Besides, these various inscriptions here and there are used to accelerate, decelerate, change directions and maneuver the hover disk." Fatty Liam explained. "Some others, mostly used for defense and comfort. Though they all utilize my magic power. It's already consuming a lot for just maneuvering it."
The hovering disk is created by a metal that is pushed by gravity instead of pulled, but only when an electric current passes through it. Furthermore, only the world of Camelot possessed anti-gravity metal deposits. However, the world of Camelot was a world of magic as they used magic in their everyday life. Electricity was a foreign concept to the people who reside in Camelot as magic power was commonly used as energy and fuel to run things, and they only found out about the unique properties of this metal when the Earthling's technology came to their land.
"This is interesting. It feels like I am flying."
Bai Yue was immensely happy. Her sweet smiled earned a gentle kiss and hug from Marvin. "I will purchase one for you once I get a chance to enter the world of Camelot."
"Thanks a lot in advance." Bai Yue stared in his eyes lovingly before burrowing her head in his chest.
Leilani sat beside Marvin, and she then made her way into his lap like a little cat. "It's cold up here, let me warm myself."
That's the excuse she gave.
Am I a heater? Marvin thought with a deadpan face. However, he showed her care while simultaneously showing love to Bai Yue.
"If you guys are feeling cold, you should have told me. I would have activated the comfort bubble." Fatty Liam said before an energy field rose from the inscription in the middle of the Hover Disk, and constructed a transparent bubble around the disk.
Now, the clouds and wind were obstructed by the transparent shield.
Marvin was amazed. The reason being, this flying disk was a new invention that seemed to come equipped with all sorts of comforting inscriptions, and to him, it somewhat seemed easy to maneuver.
Maybe it is because of high wisdom?
After flying for a little under an hour, Fatty Liam was beginning to feel fatigued from constantly using his magic power. The flying disk wasn't easy to maneuver as Fatty Liam had to attentively provide a massive amount of magic power to maintain the speed.
'No wonder why those with flying disk would rather use teleporters than fly!' He sighed inwardly.
'I need to hold on a little bit longer. The outer boundary of the Blood Fiend Wilderness is up ahead.'
A few minutes later, the Hover Disk was floating just outside a large forest of trees. A long stream mysteriously ran up the forest, connecting to the humanity fortresses in the Blood Fiend Wilderness. Marvin and the rest of the members could see the several dozen mountains whose peak rose high into the sky. Two mountains stood out in particular, as their peaks were obliterated by some outside force. In place of the mountain peaks, fortresses of humanity could be seen. Meanwhile, as they were in the sky, they could see the camps of demonic fiends scattered throughout the innermost and inner part of this Wilderness.
The Gamer has reached Blood Fiend Wilderness
"It'll take some time but it's better to continue on foot and enter the outskirts of this wilderness, otherwise we could be detected by magical beasts and monsters or worse, even the demonic blood fiends might see us. Then, even landing on the ground will become a problem, we might even be hunted by a group of blood fiends."
"Of couse, it is better to exercise caution." Fatty Liam nodded, understanding. As a fire-type ability user that had just reached the fifth stage of the mana channel opening realm, he well understood the threats that powerful magical beasts could muster.
After he said that, the Hover Disk descended from the sky before they landed near the entrance of the blood fiend Wilderness.
"We are finally at our destination."
"Once we kill the Blood Trees, let's explore the Town for a while, what say you?"
"Sure, it would be boring if we went back without a little bit of fun. However, we'll be hunting for a while, but I bought a lot of food with me and it will last even if we hunt for two whole weeks."
They needed a lot of Blood Crown Leaves if they wanted to create a lot of mana channel opening pills. Thus, the considerate Fatty believe that they will hunt for days, and hence brought a lot of food and daily necessities with him.
"For now, follow me closely and be attentive to your surroundings as significant danger lies everywhere in the Blood Fiend Wilderness," Marvin said with a tone tinged with seriousness.
"Okay," Leilani and Bai Yue nodded.
The girls followed beside Marvin, as Fatty Liam led them to the outskirts of this wilderness through the safest route by using his map.
Blood Fiend Wilderness was divided into three parts. The outskirt was the least dangerous and the innermost boundary was the most dangerous. While the inner boundary contained significantly less danger than the innermost boundary.
In the outskirts of the Blood Fiend Wilderness, the magical beasts and Monster Trees were extremely powerful to the point that ability users would not dare to venture too deeply. Though this region had the Blood trees whose crown leaves were required to create the mana channel opening pills. Besides, this place was a treasure trove.
The reason being, various beneficial magical herbs could be found in this place.
While the beasts and monsters in the inner and innermost region were a threat even to the ability manipulators; However, the real threats were the blood fiends. Nevertheless, they mostly roamed in the innermost parts of the mountain range, where their camps were up.
Though some groups of blood fiends could be seen in the inner region as well. However, a person's luck would have to be worse than shit if they are to encounter a blood fiend in the outskirts. Thus, as long as they did not venture too deeply into the Blood Fiend Wilderness, this place would be an excellent leveling ground for Marvin, and an excellent treasure ground for the rest of the group.
