Chapter 503 Section 499 - Emergency Landing
"Sacrificing" this "Spear Falcon Number" Magic Cube Warship might allow for the creation of another aircraft, and perhaps they wouldn't have to die on impact.
Falling from a great height, whether it's thirty meters or three hundred, three thousand, or even thirty thousand meters, the result would be the same—death on impact.
Although Chen Fei's physique was no longer merely human, common light weapons were merely a tickle to him, but such a fall, even with steel muscles and iron bones, would be too much to handle.
However, when Chen Fei proposed the most feasible self-rescue plan, Miyoshi Monk unexpectedly refused it.
It seemed he would rather die from the fall than let Chen Fei use such a method to save himself and everyone else, which was incomprehensible at the moment.
The youthful Tuert's eyes flickered with invisible flames as he quickly chanted the incantations of a Psychic Series Spell, and a faint white light burst forth, enveloping the entire warship.
A Ninth Rank Psychic Series Spell "Giant Spirit Throw," capable of throwing objects weighing tens of tons, was now attempting to stabilize the tumbling Magic Cube Warship as it plummeted toward the ground.
"Wind, blow for me!"
A-grade Wind-type Ability User Masuya yelled out, and outside the cabin, a fierce air current surged from below, violently striking the hull.
Human strength is ultimately limited, whether it's Psychic Series Spells or Wind-type Psionic Ability; none could truly completely hold the small Magic Cube Warship that actually weighed over a hundred tons.
Although the falling speed was slightly reduced, the situation was still dire.
"Sorry, everyone!"
Since the optimum solution had been rejected, Chen Fei could only look after himself first.
He unbuckled his seatbelt.
Countless geometrically shaped components surged out like a tide, quickly enveloping Chen Fei's body, constantly assembling and disassembling, and finally formed a complete set of "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor covering his whole body.
The next second, the "Dragon King" began to expand, growing to a height of five meters, barely touching the ceiling of the warship, with all Magic Arrays synchronously loaded.
The giantized "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor lit up with two rings of blue light at its back, the small Magnetic Plasma Engines now had a dedicated Plasma Fuel, finally coming into play, and it seemed not to conflict with the "Fluid Vortex" Magic Array, significantly boosting the thrust rating.
System: Armor Plugin Module Level 10 (Plugin slot: 1/11)
Unexpectedly, the previously unusable "Armor Plugin Module" came into play at this moment, originally for docking with extra components like Magnetic Plasma Engines.
"Hey hey, you can't just leave an old lady behind!"
Aunt Caroline also unbuckled her seat belt and lunged forward, hugging the giantized "Dragon King's" thigh, refusing to let go.
Her Fire System Ability was completely useless at this moment; she couldn't even save herself.
Then there was Earth Order Third Rank Earth Mage Andrew, this big guy was really straightforward and unyielding.
"Hey, you guys think of a way to escape..."
The pilot in the cockpit, just reminding everyone to save themselves, saw the situation in the rear cabin, just as he noticed three figures, like accessories, hanging from a "Combat Mobility Armor" that appeared out of nowhere in the cabin.
Only Ninth Rank Psychic Mage Tuert and A-grade Wind-type Ability User Masuya, confident in their flying skills, did not flock to it.
Despite Miyoshi's disagreement with sacrificing the Magic Cube Warship, he also clung onto the "Dragon King," the Ninja Team turned into shadows, merging into the shadows around the "Dragon King."
"Damn it! They're safe now, let's launch!"
One of the two pilots tugged at the corner of his mouth and nodded to the other pilot, initiating the escape program.
The next second, the entire cockpit was ejected, turning into a small aircraft, jetting brilliant flames, gliding away from the "Spear Falcon Number."
"Everyone, hold tight."
Chen Fei didn't care about the "accessories" on his body, the "Dragon King" reached out a hand and grabbed a four-meter-long Great Sword, swinging it upwards with a force that split the cabin wall as the fierce wind suddenly swept in.
The giantized "Dragon King" forcefully kicked its legs and, leveraging the momentum, burst out of the cargo hold of the Magic Cube Warship.
Tuert and Masuya quickly followed.
Aunt Caroline emitted an agonizingly shrill soprano when they were just over a hundred meters above the ground.
...
"Adam" still tried to control the attitude of the Magic Cube Warship remotely, maintaining effort until just before the hull made contact with the ground, never giving up.
Bang!~
Countless sparks flew in all directions; the "Spear Falcon Number" Magic Cube Warship ultimately could not alter its destiny to crash. It collided head-on into the dense forest, breaking into pieces, and the onboard ammunition exploded in sympathy, completely disfiguring what remained of the hull.
"Gravity Adjustment Module (1%)" together with the anti-gravity provided by the "Gravity" Magic Array, relying on the Magnetic Plasma Engine and the "Fluid Vortex," worked together to stabilize the airflow around, and the giantized "Dragon King," like a feather, slowly landed among the trees.
Shadows darted from its body towards the surroundings; Miyoshi's Ninja Team disengaged from the Dark System Ability, immediately forming a perimeter guard.
"Miyoshi, do you think this is fun?"
Chen Fei looked towards the direction of billowing smoke; the "Dragon King" began to decompose, revealing his figure.
"Uh! Sorry, it's the rules, some things can't be leaked out!"
Miyoshi, who managed to land safely by clinging onto the "Dragon King's" thick legs, smiled awkwardly yet courteously.
Though the Magic Cube Warship was utilitarian, the technology on board was even more sensitive than the Magic Arrays; once leaked, the consequences were not something he and the entire Huntsman Squad could afford.
Instead of causing severe consequences and displeasing The First Sovereign, it was better to simply let the small Magic Cube Warship crash on the spot. At least it was utterly demolished on impact, eliminating concerns about sensitive technology being leaked.
"This is really troublesome!"
Chen Fei pursed his lips, and much of the dissatisfaction in his heart had dissipated.
The Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu, which had shifted from the shoulder of the Dragon King to Chen Fei's shoulder, pecked out several illumination technique light orbs the size of ping-pong balls, floating slowly upward, lighting up the pitch-dark surroundings.
Faint human figures moved; ninjas avoided the brightness of the light-based spells. Not only the dark-based spells, but even dark system abilities would also be affected when encountering light-based abilities.
"Hey, hey, is the communication still working?"
"How is the communication still on?"
The two pilots had already landed but discovered that the communication link from "Spear Falcon Number" hadn't disappeared. At that moment, their cockpit had already landed safely, and they could clearly see the rising smoke and flames from the crash site of the warship, along with explosions heard from afar.
Adam, who had taken over the electronic system of the warship, was still maintaining smooth communication using the communication module from the Dragon King's assault heavy armor. After all, it was "Spear Falcon Number" that had crashed, not "Adam".
"We have landed safely!"
Chen Fei looked towards Miyoshi Xuesen and relayed, "Both pilots are safe."
Then, he gestured in another direction and said, "Shall we go check over there?"
The direction from which the railgun fire had been returned with a missile might provide some clues at the scene.
Miyoshi Xuesen hesitated, then nodded.
"Hmm, okay, how far is it?"
"About 67 kilometers."
Chen Fei estimated.
Unless it was a super-caliber special cannon, ordinary gunpowder-driven cannons couldn't shoot that far, nor guarantee the speed of the shell.
Only a railgun could ensure both the range and the velocity of the projectile took the small Magic Cube Warship by surprise.
"Then let's go have a look!"
Miyoshi Xuesen confirmed once again.
The counterattack missile from "Spear Falcon Number" wasn't ineffective; the assaulting railgun might have been destroyed, and valuable clues could be left at the scene.
As for the two pilots, they could stay here to watch over the wrecked warship. They possessed self-defense weapons and emergency supplies, so there was no need to worry about safety for a short period, as rescue might already be on its way.
Both Miyoshi Xuesen and Xiao Jiu's leg ring carried ample supplies, completely capable of starting an impromptu journey on a whim.
After six hours of trekking, when they located the position of the railgun, it had already turned completely dark.
Meanwhile, at the crash site of "Spear Falcon Number," a rescue team had arrived to pick up the two pilots.
"It's a D-120 model parallel railgun, automatic firing, damn it."
Having inspected the wreckage at the site, Miyoshi Xuesen concluded with a look of annoyance.
The retaliation from "Spear Falcon Number" had merely destroyed this railgun but did not kill the operators.
Which means, there were hardly any valuable clues left at the scene.
"D-120?"

Chen Fei picked up a fragment, which disappeared in his hand, transforming into part of 1 energy point.
The Dog System displayed energy points without decimals, only begrudgingly giving out one energy point when a ton was met.
"It's from the same manufacturer as the D-600."
Miyoshi Xuesen knew Chen Fei had sacrificed a 600 millimeter caliber parallel double-track railgun previously.
"Let's find the production file and see who lost the railgun."
Chen Fei was very grateful that if the D-600 had been the one firing, there would have been no need for a second shot; a single strike would have settled "Spear Falcon Number" and everyone inside, without even a chance for an emergency landing.
"'Water Bear' might have noticed already!"
Miyoshi Xuesen immediately realized something.
"Spear Falcon Number" being ambushed was no accident but premeditated.
"No way?"
Tuert blurted out, looking youthful.
The previous dozens of hunts had gone smoothly, but he knew well that once the "Water Bear" organization responded, the subsequent operations wouldn't be as easy.
"They can't get a bigger caliber railgun; next, we need to be extra careful."
Miyoshi Xuesen and Chen Fei were on the same page, and if his judgment was correct, the remaining targets on the hunting list would prove quite challenging.
