485: All-round small car

As the ruler of the country, Shen Yuanyu was dragged back by the Prime Minister by the scruff of his neck when he was partying until the middle of the night!

Therefore, he had no time to participate in the departure the next day; after all, if he were to take risks and head toward the Mo Wen Plains, who would be left to manage the country?

On the camper van, Watt was the driver, while the rest of the group lay leisurely in the back cabin, sleeping and resting their eyes.

Of course, during this time, only Tang Ku sat in the passenger seat, chatting idly with Watt.

During this time, Tang Ku also managed to pry a good amount of information out of him, such as how the opposing Xituo Country felt about Buddhism, and so on!

After paying the toll, they went from the teleportation point to the Spirit Source Ground, and then, via the Spirit Source Ground, entered the Mo Wen Plains. Once the vehicle switched to snow mode, the wheels on both sides instantly transformed into a kind of ski-like device, and two huge exhaust ports appeared at the rear. Like a jet plane, it began to blast out airflow, and the exterior of the vehicle was instantly enveloped in a thin layer of mist-like substance, which actually isolated the outside cold, making the entire cabin warm as spring.

"This is much better than when we first came in!" Tang Ku laughed. "At the very least, we can reach our destination comfortably!"

Watt smiled faintly and said: "The technology used by the people of Xituo Country is very similar to the technology developed by the Master and the others back then, but it has its own unique system. However, like me, they lack the ability to leave this world... Hmm, if I could join forces with that person, perhaps we would have a chance to get out, but unfortunately, his ideas are completely different from mine..."

Tang Ku was silent, then asked: "The one who developed the technology of Xituo Country, is he also one of your people?"

"Yes, that guy... he is much stronger than me! Whether in terms of combat power or way of thinking, whether in the pursuit of science or reflection on art, he is better than me. The things he invented, as well as his various whimsical ideas, are things I can't even hope to catch up with!"

Watt said in a deep voice: "However, his thinking is just too advanced, so... I don't really get along with him!"

Tang Ku actually understood Watt's distress very well. He himself should have been a pragmatist. In the legends of another world, relying on his research into the steam engine, he eventually founded a powerful commercial Empire. Of course, he contributed immensely to the Industrial Revolution, and the Western powers had the capital to bully my China precisely because of him, or rather, his inventions.

Honestly, Tang Ku wasn't very fond of this person; for a long time, he even hated him. After all, the production of the powers' guns and cannons could not be separated from steam technology, but future technological development also could not be separated from the foundation he laid.

This merit and fault cannot be entirely laid at the feet of one scientist.

However, Tang Ku felt extremely curious about the other person he mentioned.

Who exactly was that person who could develop Xituo Country to be much more prosperous than Dongyu Country, that scientist with all sorts of whimsical ideas who even had a pursuit for art?

The Mo Wen Plains were filled with wind and snow, but this vehicle was like a bee shuttling through a flower field, handling it with ease. During this time, they encountered several attacks from Frost Quenched Xiu, but the vehicle easily dodged them all.

It can be said that even if placed in reality, this vehicle would definitely be a true performance car. If there was enough energy, the driver could completely drive this vehicle to gallop in any harsh environment, even in the Antarctic ice sheet or in volcanic magma; it could handle it with ease.

"Technology changes life; this is certainly true!"

The person who could design such a camper van must also be a Genius... Perhaps it was designed by that guy with the whimsical ideas? Actually, looking at the exterior, this thing really has a bit of an artistic flair—that ultimate streamlined pattern, that extreme golden ratio...

"Uh, wait... The Golden Ratio?"

Tang Ku suddenly thought of a famous world-renowned painting... The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into an arc; he probably already had a guess in his heart.

Having a weather-tight vehicle was far better than their personal movements; at the very least, this trip was truly very comfortable, almost like a vacation.

However, accidents always happen when people let their guard down. Just as they reached the halfway point, less than two hundred kilometers away from the Reincarnation Tower, a certain part of the ice sheet they were driving on suddenly collapsed.

That's right, it was a collapse, a large-scale collapse, fully a dozen meters wide, starting from beneath their feet and spreading in the direction they were traveling.

Fortunately, the speed of the camper van was extremely fast, and the speed of the collapse couldn't catch up at all, but it still made them look quite disheveled.

And that wasn't all. Just in the collapsed pit behind them, a huge roar tore through the sky. The detector on the vehicle had already detected that a huge creature had emerged from the ice layer, and it swiped a claw at the camper van.

Boom!

The ground that had stopped collapsing was blasted into another huge hole, and Watt controlled the camper van to perform an unbelievable maneuver. The thing was like it had springs installed under its feet, bouncing dozens of meters high.

Bang!

After landing, the camper van accelerated again, speeding toward the Reincarnation Tower, but the monster wouldn't let it go. It had now fully emerged from the ice, shaking off the snow and ice from its body... Its size was almost a dozen times that of the camper van. Looking at the image displayed on the screen, Tang Ku saw at a glance that this was actually a Frost Quenched Xiu!

That's right, a huge monster that looked like it had been mutated by nuclear radiation!

"My gold spirit crystals are dug out of the skulls of these monsters. The energy contained within is immense; even if placed in your cultivation world, it is still a treasure!"

Watt said in a deep voice.

"Really? Then I'll just go kill it and dig it out, right?"

Tang Ku chuckled and was about to jump out of the camper van.

"No need!"

Watt laughed and said: "This vehicle is equipped with weapons specifically for dealing with these kinds of monsters... You just sit and watch!"

As he spoke, he pressed some button on the screen in front of him. Immediately after, the top of the camper van shook slightly, as if some device was rising. The huge Frost Quenched Xiu was opening its big mouth, biting toward the camper van. But as soon as this monster approached within two meters of the camper van, it suddenly screamed and stood still on the spot. Drops of blood began to gush out from the monster's seven orifices, and the scene was actually quite miserable!

"This is..."

Tang Ku couldn't help but say in shock: "A sonic weapon?"
