Seeing that the recoil had subsided, Ju Zi blushed and pulled her head out of Bai Zhou's arms.
"You bastard, you definitely did that on purpose!" She lightly punched Bai Zhou, feigning anger.
"You've misunderstood me. I'm just trying to save time so we can have more time to rest and not waste time on meaningless and exhausting flights."
Bai Zhou focused on piloting the plane with his left hand, while gently pinching Ju Zi's slender waist with his right, all the while maintaining a serious expression.
tangerine:...
Although I think what Bai Zhou said makes a lot of sense.
But Bai Zhou's behavior of taking advantage of others is too unrestrained!
Although she thought this to herself, she didn't slap away Bai Zhou's pig-like hand that was wrapped around her slender waist, seemingly acquiescing to it...
The two remained in this position and soon arrived at the top of Jingyang Mountain Range.
Looking down from the air, Bai Zhou found that the Jingyang Mountain Range was pretty much exactly as Ju Zi had described.
The Jingyang Mountain Range is shaped like a large spider, with a vast central mountain range and eight tributaries extending in different directions like eight legs, winding and protecting the central mountain range. The tributaries contain relatively few Spirit Beasts but are rich in minerals.
The Central Mountain Range is home to a large number of Spirit Beasts, many of which are formidable. The main peak, Jingyang Peak, is particularly noteworthy as it is considered Forbidden Land.
Although Jingyang Peak is far inferior to Star Dou Great Forest, it is still a top-tier gathering place for Spirit Beasts on the entire continent, ranking among the top five.
The Jingyang Mountain Range is extremely rich in minerals, but the Sun Moon Empire has not carried out large-scale mining.
Mining inevitably involves cutting off mountains and water sources, causing immense damage to the environment.
That's secondary. The large-scale entry of Spirit Masters will inevitably lead to conflict with Spirit Beasts, resulting in casualties.
Sun Moon Empire Spirit Beast resources are already extremely scarce. If the Sun Moon Empire were to exploit resources to the point of exhaustion, its demise would not be far off.
Therefore, when mining in the Jingyang Mountain Range, most of the time it is done only when needed, and you try to avoid conflict with the Spirit Beast. For some weaker Spirit Beasts, you try your best to drive them away rather than kill them.
The mineral veins that Orange and Bai Zhou were looking for this time were only on the outskirts, so they could mine them with peace of mind and would not encounter large-scale Spirit Beasts.
"Don't go any further! Stop right now!" Orange quickly stopped Dao when she saw that Bai Zhou wanted to go even deeper.
When a Spirit Master uses a flying spirit tool, they are very fast, and most of their spirit power is used for flying, resulting in a sharp drop in combat power.
If a Spirit Beast were to strike at this time, it would be difficult to react in time. Such a rapid impact, even if it hits a very weak bird, the Spirit Beast, would be a huge disaster, and could even kill it on the spot.
Bai Zhou was far too reckless...
"Alright." Bai Zhou nodded upon hearing this, then quickly reduced his speed, intending to find a suitable place to land.
He naturally knew what Dao was worried about. If a normal Spirit Master were to fly a plane this fast, it could really crash, resulting in the destruction of the plane and the loss of life.
However, his mental force is powerful, covering an area of more than ten kilometers in radius. He is like a human radar, so it is impossible for him to be in trouble.
It's just that the orange doesn't know what "Dao" means.
Bai Zhou was too lazy to explain, because even if he told the truth, Ju Zi wouldn't believe him. Instead, she would become even more terrified, and might even wet herself in fear...
"Whoosh—" On a small hill, Bai Zhou piloted the fighter jet to land slowly, and the transparent crystal convertible above his head slowly opened.
Orange jumped out immediately, plopped down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
" Sister Ju Zi, is it really that scary?"
Bai Zhou put away the fighter jet and bent down to help Ju Zi up.
"You still dare to talk!"
Orange glared at Bai Zhou, wanting to punch him, but her whole body was weak and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She collapsed into Bai Zhou's arms.
"Haha, then I'll drive slower next time." Bai Zhou laughed. It was the first time he had ever seen Ju Zi so frightened.
After a while, Orange calmed down and regained her mobility.
"Let go now..."
Orange struggled slightly and whispered a coquettish "Dao".
That bastard Bai Zhou, even at this point he still can't resist taking advantage of her.
Although she inexplicably enjoyed being held by Bai Zhou, she naturally couldn't show it too obviously. In fact, she definitely couldn't let Bai Zhou know, otherwise she would lose the initiative …
"Oh, Sister Ju Zi, I'm so glad you're alright." Upon seeing this, Bai Zhou quickly let go, her hand still carrying the scent of Ju Zi.
"Let's go. The Jingyang Mountain Range is quite large, and we only know the approximate location of Dao's Cold Spring. It will take a lot of time to find the exact location of the Cold Spring."
Orange gently tossed her slightly wavy long hair, then, stepping into her boots, walked gracefully into the dense forest ahead.
Bai Zhou followed closely behind, his senses spreading out to monitor every move of the Spirit Beast within a radius of tens of kilometers.
This is an outer branch of the Jingyang Mountain Range. Although there are quite a few Spirit Beasts here, they are all very young and of poor quality, far inferior to those in the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, as Bai Zhou delved deeper, he also discovered some decent Spirit Beasts in Bloodline. They were quite powerful, but unfortunately, they were all in a weak stage and needed a long time to grow.
As for the Cold Spring that Orange mentioned, Bai Zhou did not find it.
After all, the Jingyang Mountain Range is very large, and due to the terrain, his mental probing ability was somewhat interfered with. Although the range did not shrink much, the accuracy decreased significantly.
Seeing that he hadn't found anything, Bai Zhou simply narrowed down the scope of the spirit power's search.
After all, the real purpose of this trip was to "hunt for treasure" with Orange. It was just a way to kill time, so naturally we had to enjoy the fun of the adventure.
If someone used cheats, they could find Cold Spring's location instantly and complete the mission in half a day, then what's the point of playing?
"According to the map, it should be in this direction." Orange took out a Jingyang Mountain Range map that wasn't very accurate, carefully identified the location, and slowly walked forward.
After all, it was my first time exploring, and even with a map, finding a small Cold Spring in such a vast area was still very difficult.
"Alright, Sister Ju Zi, you can lead the way. I'll keep watch." Bai Zhou smiled and quickly followed.
"Hehe, then I'm relieved~"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi smiled sweetly, clearly showing her great trust in Bai Zhou's abilities.
Although she had never seen Bai Zhou fight, he was still a powerful Spirit Emperor, and was undoubtedly invincible in the outer area of the Jingyang Mountain Range.
