Towards Eternity
Ch 600's. Infiltrate (II)
Nightfall. About a kilometer from the Port of Phoenix.
A much smaller port was built and became a place to dock many ships that came from all areas south of Mainland. The people carrying the ship had one common goal, which was to head to the middle of the lake, where the mountain where the Lin Family's residence was located.
Keep in mind, the Lin Family residence consists of four main parts. That is the outside, inside, main, and center.
The outside is the area outside the great wall that surrounds the crater of the mountain. The inside, the middle, and also the center of the residence were within the walls. Because of this, the outer region covers the entire exterior and foot of the volcano. There is a large city on the outside, and the destination of the people in the Port of Phoenix.
Then there was the inside, this half was used for the residence of the Lin Family members who had the Phoenix bloodline above ten percent in themselves from the entire southern region of the Mainland. The rest is used as a place to build some rare metal mines obtained from inside the volcano. Arguably, this inner part was the main place the Lin Family made the money they had.
Next is the main part. In this part, the people living in it were those who possessed the power of the Phoenix bloodline with a percentage of thirty percent, which was none other than the residence of the Lin Family's higher-ups, including Lin Bei and his family.
In the main section there is also the Lin Family weapons manufacturing house, as well as a large warehouse used to store metals that have been successfully mined, before being shipped to be sold throughout the Mainland.
And the last part, as well as the most important part of the Lin Family Residence, was the core part.
This core is a giant castle made of various types of hot metal mixtures. Lahars always flow from outside the castle walls, so the main part and the core part of the residence are separated by a lava river that surrounds the castle.
This castle was the residence of the core families of the Lin Family who had existed for a long time if and still stood with their Phoenix bloodline being above seventy percent. Even their leader, the Phoenix Woman was said to have the power of the Phoenix bloodline over ninety percent in her blood.
But all that Weng Lou knew about the nuclear family was only limited to the knowledge possessed by Lin Dan and some common knowledge in the Mainland that Weng Ying Luan possessed.
Lin Dan himself only stayed in the main part only, though, and had only ever caught a glimpse of the face of the Lin Family Leader wearing a cloth that covered half his face when he was given the task of becoming one of the administrators of Tiesha City.
"So, when we get to the outside, we will not go directly to the city, but create a hiding place that we can use at any time. But of course, we have to pass through this lake in front of us first before committing to any other plan." Weng Ying Luan spoke as she pointed towards the gigantic volcano that was in the middle of the lava lake.
"For the matter of the ferocious beasts living in it, we can get through it because this Captain of yours already has something that can handle them. The only remaining problem was regarding the heat temperature emitted by that lava lake. A bird flying over fifty meters from the lake would instantly be roasted to maturity just by flying past it."
"For humans, it was already like being burned alive on a burning furnace. Me and your Captain could have made a shield to protect you from the heat, but the air won't get in and you won't be able to breathe properly. Therefore, we will open a little protective so that the air can enter. Among you, who can't stand the heat? Honestly, the heat you will feel will be like being under the heat of 5 suns at once." Weng Ying Luan continued.
Listening to Ying Luan's explanation, made the crew of the Weng Lou swallow unconsciously. They were sailors, the hot temperatures were not a big deal to them. However, there is a limit to where their bodies can withstand the heat.
If the sense of heat they were about to encounter was equivalent to the scorching five suns at once, they were not sure they would be able to reach the middle mountain of the lake in living conditions.
Even Du Zhe also swallowed his saliva as he was unsure of being able to survive in such a hot temperature.
Weng Lou who was preparing their flying boat turned his head and saw the worried faces of his crew and also Du Zhe. He laughed softly as he spoke, "There's no need to worry about that either, I still keep well the Eternal Snow Heart that we got back then. We can use it to cool the inside of the boat later."
He had to admit, Weng Lou had been really good at arranging his things. Fortunately the one who held all of those materials was Weng Lou, if it had been Weng Ying Luan who was holding them, he might have already sold them in Tiesha City to be able to increase the money he needed to make the ship.
"Hahaha, then there's no reason for us to wait here any longer. Let's go, your ship has been sailing through the lake since this afternoon. Let's follow them and arrive at the mountain first, then prepare the next plan" Weng Ying Luan suggested.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Weng Lou immediately positioned their flying boat to be stable when boarded by them all.
"Em, you all go up. We'll start flying through the lake" said Weng Lou.
Du Zhe and the others nodded in understanding despite the hesitation. Du Zhe sat on the second-most front bench, followed by the crew of Weng Lou behind him.
After everyone sat down, Weng Lou took the front seat, while Weng Ying Luan sat in the back seat. The division of their seats is based on the abilities they have today.
The state of Weng Lou who could no longer use Qi or Energy in Nature made him unsuitable for moving boats, therefore Weng Ying Luan was entrusted to the job. While Weng Lou who sat in front will control the boat and make a protector around the boat that prevents the wind from entering and smashing their bodies using his Soul Power.
"You ready?" Weng Ying Luan asked in a playful tone to Weng Lou.
"When you're ready" replied Weng Lou.
"OK. Maybe a little bit of a shake."
Qi flowed out from within Weng Ying Luan's body and was instantly sucked into the boat, as if the boat was a magnet that continued to attract the Qi around it.
When Qi started flowing into the entire section of the boat, Weng Ying Luan could feel the entire boat with her senses.
Weng Lou immediately took out his Soul Power and put it into the boat, while forming a protector around them. As soon as Weng Lou finished his work, Weng Ying Luan immediately put more Qi into the boat.
Weng Lou's mind was connected to the boat once his Soul Power had entered the entire boat. With his mind, Weng Lou made the boat float in the air, and then moved forward, flying towards the lava lake.
Their flying boat work system was divided into two, namely Qi as fuel, and Soul Power as a controller. Weng Lou discovered this after researching it for almost half a day. With the intelligence and genius possessed by him and Weng Ying Luan, they also managed to make each boat work system can be taken over by the two of them respectively.
Weng Ying Luan gave her Qi, and Weng Lou gave her Soul Power. Somehow the two of them looked like a pair of twin brothers complementing each other.
Although actually Weng Lou would never be willing to accept such praise from others. Because according to him, Weng Ying Luan already he considered as part of his family, just like his other friends.
