These aerial surveillance soul tools were very scattered. Undoubtedly, they had learned from the previous lesson when Huo Yuhao had destroyed many of them at once. There were more of them now, and they were all scattered. Furthermore, they were carrying out more in-depth surveillance to achieve greater results. Of course, this required more effort to be invested. Regarding this, Ju Zi naturally didn"t skim on any effort at all.
After this period of observation, Huo Yuhao discovered that the aerial surveillance soul tools didn"t just protect the military base below. They were also directed towards the Dou Ling Empire. It wasn"t exaggerated to claim that the Dou Ling Empire"s troops would be discovered as long as they came within thirty kilometers away of the base. What followed would likely be the attacks of the Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion directed towards them.
Huo Yuhao was still in awe right now. He was very impressed by the professional standards of the Sun Moon Empire. In just half a month, the size of the base was already ten times bigger than what it was when he was first here. There were also more people around too. He had not seen many of the large-scale soul tools. All the soul tools were in use, but the noise pollution they created wasn"t very great. He was less than three thousand meters in the sky right now, but no sound from below was audible at this alt.i.tude. Evidently, the Sun Moon Empire had done a great job at minimizing noise pollution.
Although Huo Yuhao wasn"t very experienced in mining rare metals, he could tell from the scale of their mining operations that the amount of reserves in the mines was definitely extraordinary. The Sun Moon Empire would not take much time to mine all the metals, given the scale of their mining operations.
From the sky, everything was clear. There were more than twenty openings. Chunks of ore were constantly being transported out of these openings. This could become rare metals that were worth a lot, and could be used for the cores of soul tools after they were purified.
Huo Yuhao was also a soul engineer. Even though he was very far away, he could still recognize some of the more special rare metals. Given the amount of rare metals that they had, it naturally meant that more and more weapons could be created by the Sun Moon Empire. Although the same thing would happen if he was the one with the rare metals, at least the Tang Sect and Shrek were producing weapons to stop the war, and resist invasions!
Huo Yuhao"s plan was very simple. First, he wanted to blind this Sun Moon Empire army before leading the Tai Tan Snowdevil army to attack them.
The Tai Tan Snowdevil King was very unconvinced by this plan. In his opinion, the number of people here wasn"t enough to pose any threat to the Tai Tan Snowdevils. In a few attacks, everyone from the Sun Moon Empire would certainly be killed.
However, Huo Yuhao warned him that there were many powerful weapons in the human world. Even if he was a soul beast, his life was still in danger.
Tai Tan Snowdevils were the most powerful species of savage beasts in the Extreme North. They possessed incredibly terrifying strength. Their body was their strongest weapon and ability. Their strength and dominance were nightmares for their enemies. However, their bodies were very large, which made them easy targets for soul tools.
This was why Huo Yuhao was able to convince the Tai Tan Snowdevil King under the name of the Snow Empress. He was here to help. He didn"t want his entire species to be critically hurt because of him. If that was the case, he wouldn"t be able to account to the Snow Empress either!
After observing for some time, Huo Yuhao carefully retreated. He was too easily spotted in the day if he took any action. The results would be better at night.
He silently returned to where the Tai Tan Snowdevils were stationed, and tweaked their original plan slightly. The Tai Tan Snowdevil King led his own species as well as the Ice Bear King to take a brief rest.
The Snow Empress didn"t permit the Ice Bear King to bring his own species with him. This was because the Ice Bear King was going to leave with them after this. If he brought his own people with him, he would be put in a difficult spot later on.
What they needed now was to wait for nighttime.
Time slowly pa.s.sed, and the sky slowly turned dark. A figure silently flew from a pile of snow in the distance. More figures followed, and they slowly scattered. They were all slowly moving towards the front. They lightened their footsteps and tried not to make any sound as they moved forward. They were all advancing towards the same target.
The figure in front of everyone else who had a height of around two meters wasn"t Huo Yuhao. He was a burly man with an extremely muscular physique.
When savage beasts reached a certain level, they could transform into the appearance of humans. The Tai Tan Snowdevil King was no exception. However, soul beasts weren"t willing to do so unless it was necessary. They could only unleash their greatest strength in their original state. Right now, they did this to better conceal themselves. In Huo Yuhao"s plan, the Tai Tan Snowdevil King definitely played the most important role.
What about Huo Yuhao?
Right now, he wasn"t the only one flying towards the sky. There was a fatty beside him. If one wasn"t observant enough, he would a.s.sume that it was a pig flying in the sky.
Huo Yuhao was a little helpless as he asked the Ice Bear King, “Little Bai, why are you in this form? Ah Tai looks more normal than you.”
That "pig" was indeed the Ice Bear King.
Right now, the Ice Bear King was just like a ball-shaped human. He flew beside Huo Yuhao with his huge tummy. He could glide as much as he wanted. He wasn"t wearing anything either. After all, he couldn"t fit into Huo Yuhao"s clothes! His flesh was all round, and even his head was ball-shaped. His look was extremely interesting.
The Ice Bear King chuckled and said, “Grandpa, you don"t know about this. When I first transformed into a human, I specially asked Mom. She said that she likes me in my chubby state. This was why I chose this look. I look cool! Look at my fat. It doesn"t change how charming I taste.”
Huo Yuhao smacked his forehead. How can one describe taste as charming? However, he didn"t say anything else. After all, he was already in this state. There was no way it could be changed.
Under the effect of Huo Yuhao"s Imitation, they slowly concealed themselves and flew into the distance.
The reason why he had surveilled the place earlier was because he needed to verify the surveillance radius of the Sun Moon Empire"s aerial surveillance soul tools.
Through his daytime surveillance, Huo Yuhao already had a plan in mind. Since the Sun Moon Empire was mainly projecting their surveillance towards the Dou Ling Empire, they could sneak in from the other side. In this way, they could get close. Once they took action, they could also breach the Sun Moon Empire"s base faster.
Huo Yuhao led Little Bai higher and higher into the sky. Little Bai was a savage beast. While he looked plump, he was actually faster than Huo Yuhao after he started flying. However, he admired Huo Yuhao more and more right now.
“Grandpa, your Spiritual Detection Sharing is really fun. I can see so far even though it"s so dark. Haha, take a look. Ah Tai is still foolishly running. Look at him, he"s so small. It"s so fun!”
“Quiet. Otherwise, I"ll ask your mom to whack you.” Huo Yuhao could only turn fierce against the babbling Little Bai.
Little Bai immediately quieted down. After turning into a human, his eyes became a little shifty. He pleaded, “Grandpa, don"t do that. I"ll keep quiet!”
Huo Yuhao was a little amused, and stopped entertaining him. His Spiritual Detection wasn"t just linked with Little Bai. It was also linked with the Tai Tan Snowdevil King below. This aided his commandeering through his surveillance and detection.
Right now, he was a thousand meters from the ground. This was a huge burden on his spiritual power, given how far he had to unleash his Spiritual Detection Sharing. Without his soul core, he would be unable to do it.
Very soon, the Tai Tan Snowdevils stopped under his command. They hid behind a mountain that was covered in snow. This mountain was a bit more than twenty kilometers from the Sun Moon Empire"s base. It was also the limit of the aerial surveillance soul tools. As the Tai Tan Snowdevils were unable to become humans, they were being deployed further away – at around the twenty-five kilometer mark. They crouched and silently waited for instructions.
These Tai Tan Snowdevils were easily commanded. They carried out the Tai Tan Snowdevil King"s instructions without any questions asked. This made Huo Yuhao"s job easier.
Right now, Huo Yuhao and Little Bai were already close to the boundary of the aerial surveillance soul tools. Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “It"ll depend on us next. Come, let"s go.” As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he sat on Little Bai"s shoulders. In terms of cultivation, they were a far way off from each other. Such a tough job of rising into the sky was naturally easier for Little Bai.
Little Bai kicked his legs in the sky. His actions seemed very clumsy, but his body burst up like a huge cannon sh.e.l.l. He was so quick that he was even faster than the White Tiger Duke before.
Huo Yuhao was seated very stably on his shoulders. He was like a nail that had been nailed to the Ice Bear King"s shoulders. The scenery around him quickly flashed past, and the temperature dropped continuously. Their surroundings also became increasingly quieter.
