After some investigation, Gao Jianfei learned that... an unenhanced eagle could only fly a few dozen meters high, while an enhanced one could fly over 200 meters high; an unenhanced eagle could only fly for 2 or 3 hours a day before becoming exhausted, while an enhanced one could fly for more than 10 hours; the enhanced eagle's flight speed was several times faster than the unenhanced one! The enhanced eagle's claws and teeth became much sharper and stronger, allowing it to easily tear apart blocks of wood!
Gao Jianfei also learned from these eaglets that the Vikings had deployed aerial units, tens of thousands of eaglets, into the intricate network of side paths to hunt down Gao Jianfei and his companions.
"Oh, it looks like there are still thousands of eaglets in this area, or the surrounding area!" Gao Jianfei nodded with a smile, then mentally instructed his eaglets, "You are responsible for attracting all your kind here!"
"Yes, esteemed Xiao Gao!"
Thousands of eaglets rose into the air and scattered, beginning to lead their kind over to Gao Jianfei as instructed.
Seeing this, Zheng Cuiyun stammered, "Jianfei, those...those eagles..."
“Mine, all of them are mine now.” Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers, then said to his men, “Alright, everyone, I don’t think you’ll have any appetite for those broken little eagles anymore. Clean them up and throw them into the icy river. They smell pretty fishy to me, not good.”
Over the next two days, several more flocks of eaglets flew in, but Gao Jianfei used the area-of-effect damage of the Lion's Roar to shake them all down.
After a rigorous selection process, Gao Jianfei captured a total of 4,000 eaglets!
This greatly increased the strength of Gao Jianfei's animal army.
These eaglets, with their powerful claws and teeth, can easily tear apart wooden planks. If used in combat, they can swoop down unexpectedly from the air, delivering terrifying blows to the enemy's head, neck, and even eyes. Moreover, they are numerous and effective.
Because the eaglets are so small, unlike the enormous wild beasts like polar bears, they are just tiny birds of prey. Therefore, Gao Jianfei can collect 100 eaglets a day and store them in the Ghost Nest's special space.
Gao Jianfei lived a leisurely and carefree life on the island, quietly waiting for his exorcism point to slowly recover. This life was truly wonderful.
On the other hand...
The Viking pursuers, led by five princes, foolishly waited for their scout, Little Eagle, to return near the first fork in the road.
Day after day, they waited for two whole months! Still, not a single eaglet returned!
An ominous premonition enveloped the princes' hearts.
Chapter 527 Vikings, I'm back!
Chapter 527 Vikings, I'm back!
Two whole months have passed, and the pursuing troops led by the five princes still haven't received any feedback from the Flying Eagle Force!
You must remember, when these princes deployed their eagle reconnaissance force, they were brimming with ambition and confidence! Over ten thousand eagles, encompassing all the air units of the Viking Kingdom, they were certain they could track down the whereabouts and location of those outsiders. But things didn't go as planned!
During the waiting period, Beckenbauer sent several groups of messengers to inquire about the situation. The five princes were very frustrated, as each reply to the messengers was... no trace! No trace!
Now, two months later, most of their hopes have been shattered!
They could only console themselves... "Perhaps the Flying Eagle reconnaissance unit hasn't caught up with those outsiders yet... It's okay, just wait a little longer."
Of course, no matter how strong their imagination was, they could never have imagined that the massive Flying Eagle reconnaissance force had been completely taken down by Gao Jianfei!
We can only wait helplessly!
on the other hand.
After more than two months of recuperation, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points have recovered to 80!
Such a terrifying statistic!
It was obvious that Gao Jianfei had never had so many exorcism points since he obtained the Super Ghost Device software! A full 80! At this moment, Gao Jianfei was like a nouveau riche holding a huge sum of money, laughing with glee.
Gao Jianfei knew that the time was almost ripe and he should return to the Viking Kingdom.
Before leaving, he made some preparations. He wanted to leave Li Yun, Blank, and the others on the island, and to avoid any worries, Gao Jianfei also took some defensive measures.
After two or three months of development, the island had been transformed into a small village, with numerous wooden houses, wooden fences, stone houses, and even some stone bunkers. On the outer perimeter, there were dozens of catapults and some stone projectiles.
Gao Jianfei spent 20 exorcism points to add some weapons to the troops left on the island.
Several cannons and some gunpowder were obtained from Ling Zhen; sniper rifles, semi-automatic rifles, Desert Eagle pistols, a large amount of bullets, and grenades were obtained from the mercenary ghosts in the Ghost Den.
Subsequently, Gao Jianfei left 2,000 eagles and 40 polar bears on the island, tasking them with protecting their companions there.
With sufficient weaponry and a large force of mutated beasts, Gao Jianfei believed that the island, nestled in a maze of forks, would have a sufficiently reliable safety factor. Even if the Vikings found the island, they would have to fight a fierce battle to conquer it.
After making thorough preparations, Gao Jianfei gathered everyone together and gave them some serious instructions.
The women were extremely reluctant to see Gao Jianfei leave. After all, he was their pillar of support, their only source of security. Gao Jianfei smiled gently at the women, "Alright, I'll be back in a month or two at most, and then we'll all go back to the outside world together! Don't worry, it'll only be a month or two! Wait for me for a month or two!"
After fulfilling his promises and guarantees, Gao Jianfei took out some pearls and diamonds from the vast Viking treasure in the Ghost Nest and gave them to the women, thus winning their hearts.
Afterwards, when Gao Jianfei left, he went alone... Well, he returned to the Viking Kingdom by himself, so he naturally didn't need that wooden ship. He got the navigation map from Blank and the others, and then directly used diving to dive to the Viking Kingdom.
It's important to know that Gao Jianfei is an exceptional swimmer; he can stay underwater for days and nights without any problems. Coupled with his profound internal energy, his underwater speed is several times faster than that of a regular small boat, and his vision is unaffected by the current. If he gets too tired, Gao Jianfei can enter the Ghost Den to rest before continuing his journey.
Watching Gao Jianfei gracefully leap into the water, splashing up waves, the people on the island were filled with longing and admiration.
The long stealth mission has begun!
Gao Jianfei did not use any tools, relying solely on his body and his swimming skills to move at high speed underwater in the glacier, reaching a speed of approximately 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.
As he traveled, Gao Jianfei estimated that, based on his current speed and the time needed for rest and meals along the way, it would take about a month, or even longer, to return to the Viking Kingdom.
Well, there's no rushing it, so Gao Jianfei could only endure the loneliness and diligently navigate the water.
The water is teeming with fish and shrimp, creating a unique scenic view that can provide a welcome respite from Gao Jianfei's monotonous voyage.
Of course, Gao Jianfei was not an overconfident person. To ensure safety, he also released some level 1 ghosts to scout the area near where he was hiding.
After sailing for several days, they arrived at some waters where Gao Jianfei saw seals, sea lions, walruses, and other animals... Of course, Gao Jianfei, focused on getting on his journey, didn't bother to use his exorcism points to possess these clumsy creatures.
Whenever Gao Jianfei encounters these animals, he will quickly avoid them and not provoke them.
However, a few days later, Gao Jianfei encountered a big guy!
He discovered a whale in a certain body of water!
This creature is about 35 to 5 meters long and weighs about 0.4 to 1.5 tons. It is pure white, a very light and unique white. Its head is relatively small, with a protruding and rounded forehead, a short beak, and wide lips.
"Wow! A whale!" Gao Jianfei was startled and secretly channeled his internal energy, ready to kill the whale if anything went wrong.
Surprisingly, the whale was very docile. Not only did it not attack Gao Jianfei, but it also accompanied him, swimming forward together, just like a mischievous child who wanted to play with Gao Jianfei.
In fact, this white whale is the beluga whale, which is unique to the Arctic. The beluga whale is a type of whale that lives in the Arctic waters. It is pure white, gentle in nature, and its current population is about 100,000, making it very rare.
The beluga whale wasn't swimming fast, even a little slower than Gao Jianfei. However, Gao Jianfei suddenly realized that if he possessed the beluga whale, its genes would be enhanced, and its speed would definitely increase dramatically!
"Damn it, I'm wasting my time swimming here, I might as well get a means of transportation!" Gao Jianfei had a brilliant idea and immediately released a detection beam to test the beluga whale.
"8000 Ghost Exorcism Points"
It would take 8,000 exorcism points to make a level 1 ghost possess the white whale. This was nothing to Gao Jianfei, who had hundreds of thousands of exorcism points. He didn't even hesitate and simply had a level 1 ghost possess the white whale.
After being possessed, the beluga whale's various indicators improved several times, and its swimming speed reached 150 kilometers per hour.
Gao Jianfei laughed heartily, and then rode on the beluga whale, swimming and galloping through the water!
The mutated beluga whale swims at incredible speeds, like a submarine, darting along in a straight line in the water.
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed. Normally, at his stealth speed, it would take him more than a month to reach the Viking Kingdom, but with the white whale as his mount, the journey would be much shorter.
We traveled smoothly, observing the underwater world as we went. It was a leisurely and enjoyable journey.
After traveling for several hours, Gao Jianfei would enter the Ghost Den and bring the white whale with him. He would cook hot pot and drink wine there, living a very comfortable life.
After that, Gao Jianfei encountered some more beluga whales. He selected two and had them possessed by a level 1 ghost. Thus, the three beluga whales swam side by side in the water, moving freely, which was quite a sight to behold.
Following the map, Gao Jianfei was getting closer and closer to the Viking Kingdom! He estimated that there were still about 5 days left in the journey!
As the arrival time drew closer, Gao Jianfei became increasingly excited, with a subconscious feeling of restlessness stirring within him.
This time, he returned to the Viking kingdom alone, unburdened, free to act with abandon and make his mark. He was confident he could throw the Viking kingdom into chaos!
…… …… ……
Now let's talk about the Vikings.
Those who were chasing Gao Jianfei had completely lost faith in their aerial unit, the Little Eagle Reconnaissance Force!
It's been more than two months, almost three months, and not a single eagle has returned!
These people have begun to waver. Subconsciously, they all feel that waiting any longer is simply a waste of time!
Therefore, after discussion, the five princes decided to send three of them back to the Viking Kingdom to report everything to Beckenbauer.
Of the 25 wooden boats, 5 have already begun their return journey…
After several days at sea, the three princes returned to their city.
Just then, Gao Jianfei, riding a white whale, silently passed the tracking fleet and arrived at the Viking city-state. He hid in the waters below the dock and entered the den of ghosts.
It was afternoon, and Gao Jianfei couldn't possibly have so blatantly rushed from the docks into the Viking Kingdom's city-states. He first went into the Ghost Den to rest, then released some level 1 ghosts to scout out the situation at the docks.
Gao Jianfei hoped that after nightfall, he could sneak into the city-states of the Viking Empire.
…… …… ……
The Viking Kingdom.
Beckenbauer's palace.
The three princes returned and loudly complained to Beckenbauer, who also looked gloomy.
"Your Majesty, our...our aerial plan has failed, utterly failed...12,000 eagles, three months have passed, and not a single one has returned. We have no idea why! You must know, those outsiders, 2,300 people, rowing manually, could they possibly be faster than our eagles? Damn it, we don't know what went wrong...It's very, very strange...Your Majesty, we must find another way." The princes all wore long, bitter faces.
Beckenbauer gritted his teeth, his heart hardening. "Very well, we must ask the gods for help! Tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, I will personally go to the 'Island of the Gods' and report all this to the gods! Almighty, who has always protected the Vikings, taught them to fight, tame beasts, and given them everything they have today, this time, I beg for your help!"
…… …… ……
night.
In the waters near the Hidden Wharf, Gao Jianfei, in his ghost den, was having a barbecue. The level 1 ghost had already told Gao Jianfei about the distribution of people at the wharf.
Gao Jianfei took out a tissue, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, nodded, and muttered to himself, "Alright, time to get to work! My dear Vikings, here I come!"
Chapter 528 Orange Ore
Chapter 528 Orange Ore
Inside the ghost den, Gao Jianfei exchanged a set of animal skin clothes worn by Vikings with the ghosts he had killed before, and also got a horned helmet, before flashing out of the ghost den.
Gao Jianfei swam silently to the shore. Based on the information provided by the Level 1 Ghost, he estimated the geographical location and circled the waters along the shore. Finally, he arrived at a place where the garrison on the shore was relatively sparse.
In fact, the garrison at the docks now numbers 1,000 men, with 500 resting at night and the other 500 on night watch. Their watch positions are mostly near the moored ships. Elsewhere, only a small number of Viking warriors patrol. Gao Jianfei happened to detour to a position away from the moored ships. There, only three Viking warriors patrolled, and none of them had any pets with them.
In the water, Gao Jianfei was very cautious. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he sent a few level 1 ghosts ashore to check. After confirming that there were no problems, Gao Jianfei quietly "sneaked" ashore.
Gao Jianfei stepped onto the dock, bathed in the cold moonlight and the faint glow of sparse torches. A few months ago, a great battle had taken place here, where hundreds, even thousands, of Vikings had lost their lives. Therefore, although the dock had now been cleaned up, it still had a somewhat eerie and cold feeling, as if countless wronged souls were drifting above it.
Gao Jianfei naturally knew that this place was filled with the souls of Level 2 Ghost Viking warriors. However, what he was currently concerned about were the three Viking sentries patrolling towards them. Clearly, the three Vikings had already spotted Gao Jianfei, but the horned helmet he wore prevented them from noticing anything amiss at first. They simply walked towards him, intending to question him.
