Chapter 74: Return Trip

Su Jingxing sighed.
But it does not mean that the contents concealed on the last page of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual is definitely martial arts.
It could also be a map that noted the location of the treasure.
!!
Or an extremely important secret that outsiders have no way of knowing.
Or perhaps it is a high-grade pill formula, a spirit weapon forging technique.
It might even be empty!
A prank left behind by the Wei Family’s ancestor, and there is no secret at all.
All sorts of possibilities.
To uncover this secret, I have to meet the big white goose.
At this thought, Su Jingxing carefully examined the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual. After confirming that there were no other discoveries, he put it into his palm s.p.a.ce.
Then, he sped towards New Fate City on the motorcycle.
Back in the city, he found a repair shop and sold the motorcycle at half price.
He then hacked into the aviation center at the Internet cafe and bought the earliest flight ticket before heading straight to the airport.
He only heaved a sigh of relief after boarding the plane.
If nothing crops up, I will be back in Qinghe City tomorrow night.
I’m just afraid that something might happen midway.

The first flight safely arrived at its destination.
All was also well on the first half of the journey after the transit.
During the latter half of the journey, they encountered turbulence, but pa.s.sed through safely.
Another transit, the last flight.
This time, Su Jingxing’s luck seemed to have run out. The plane was finally targeted by an avian Mutated Beast.
“Dear pa.s.sengers, we have encountered avian Mutated Beasts on this flight. Please be prepared.”
“Dear pa.s.sengers, we have encountered avian Mutated Beasts on this flight. Please be prepared.”
“Dear pa.s.sengers…”
In the quiet cabin, the loudspeaker repeated three times before stopping.
During the first broadcast, Su Jingxing looked around and saw all the pa.s.sengers calmly bringing up the safety packages placed under their seats.
They took out goggles, mask, gloves, helmet, and a parachute bag and put them on.
Throughout the entire process, no one screamed, shouted, or panicked.
Su Jingxing followed the crowd to take out the package and strangely put on the various equipment.
This was Earth Star.
If this was Earth, the cabin would have been in a state of panic.
For the people of Earth Star, they were mentally prepared for danger before they boarded the plane.
If there was an accident midway, such as the plane getting attacked by the avian Mutated Beasts, resulting in an explosion or crash, the airline would not provide compensation.
Before boarding, everyone was to sign a waiver.
After boarding the plane, their life and death were in their own hands.
Compared to Earth, the chances of aviation disasters occuring were many times higher on Earth Star.
Almost every month, they would encounter incidents of avian Mutated Beasts attacking planes.
Of course, when they really encounter such incidents, the plane would not just be at the mercy of the attacks.
While Su Jingxing was putting on his equipment, the cargo hold at the bottom of the plane suddenly opened on both sides and four drones flew out.
The four drones were fully extended in the air. They looked exactly like giant birds, their wingspan was more than 10 meters.
Under human manipulation, they quickly flew forward.
Halfway through, let out resonant bird chirps.
Four drones was equivalent to four giant birds chirping. They turned to the left side while chirping.
After pulling away from the plane, the chirps became louder and louder, stimulating a huge eagle with a wingspan of 100 meters that was about to attack the plane.
The eagle heard the calls and its sharp eyes turned cold. It looked away from the plane and fixed its gaze on the drones.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it turned around and chased after the drones.
Lure the avian Mutated Beasts away.
This was one of the planes’ response strategies.
Other than that, it was facing the enemy head-on. Earth Star’s planes were equipped with heavy firepower. For this reason, the planes were exceptionally large.
If a fight really were to start, they would request for help from the nearest air base.
Every day, fighter jets from the air bases of each prefecture patrol in the sky.
With this three-fold measure, while planes still get attacked, the probability of crashing and exploding was not high.
It only happened once or twice a year. Sometimes, only once every three to five years.
Therefore, safety was quite a.s.sured.
All pa.s.sengers on the planes were essentially martial artists. They rarely panic when they encounter attacks.
Of ordinary people, those who dared to board planes were all bold people.
When the plane was out of danger and the situation was reported, Su Jingxing could not help but sigh again.
“That’s really…”
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
Huh?
Su Jingxing was stunned. Someone had died?
We weren’t attacked earlier on? How did someone die?
“Yes!” Su Jingxing responded inwardly with a strange expression.
Just as he was about to activate his secret ability, Advanced Hearing to listen to the movements inside the cabin——
“F*ck, how did this guy die? Cabin crew, someone has died here!”
Three rows behind Su Jingxing, a young man stood up and called out with a gloomy look.
On the seat beside him, a fat middle-aged man had his head bowed. He had stopped breathing.
“He’s really dead.”
“What happened? Didn’t the attack never happen?”
“Ha, he must have some illness to begin with. And he got himself killed because he was too nervous.”
“Why are you taking a plane when you’re so seriously ill? Isn’t that courting death?”
“…”
The pa.s.sengers on the left and right glanced at the dead fat middle-aged man and began to discuss.
The attack did not come, but the man was dead.
This fat middle-aged man was really unlucky.
Su Jingxing looked behind for a moment and looked away before the cabin crew came over.
Since the person was already dead, they had to deal with it.
As for cremation, they could only wait until they reached their destination before sending him to the local crematorium.
Su Jingxing didn’t take out the card he extracted.
The rest of the journey was safe and sound.
No accidents happened and they arrived at Qinghe City safely.
After getting off the plane, Su Jing walked into the washroom and entered a cubicle before taking out the card and reading the description.
Requiem Card!
“Requiem Card? That fatty died from shock?”
Su Jingxing was speechless.
It seemed that the person on the plane was right. The fat middle-aged man who had died was ill, severely ill at that.
And he still dares to take planes? How speechless.
He unlocked the card and got two Spirit Acc.u.mulation Pills. Su Jingxing put them away and walked out of the bathroom.
It was already past 11PM when he returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
He ate some food and washed up before going to bed.
The next morning, he woke up early and rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
After entering the mountain range, he dug out the Red-Scaled Porcupine’s tusks and put them in his palm s.p.a.ce.
Then, he familiarly climbed over the thousand-meter cliff and arrived at the valley where the big white goose lived.
It was still early, so Su Jingxing did not go down into the valley immediately. Instead, he used his treasure weapon to cut out a flat area on the inner slope of the cliff to use a breakthrough point.
In order to break through to the sixth-grade, one had to choose a place filled with worldly energy.
The worldly energy in the valley was enough for Su Jingxing to absorb.
Only, as there were a lot of poisonous creatures in the valley. Su Jingxing chose to have the spot on the slope.
“Ga ga!”
A familiar call came from the valley.
When Su Jingxing looked up, he saw the big white goose spreading its wings and flying towards him from the sky above the valley…
