Four days later.
It was still the same mountain valley, the same clearing.
Still the same group of people as before.
However, this time everyone came here not to verify the effect of the 'Defensive Array'.
But to wait for something called—
Airdrop.
"Shopkeeper Ma, how much longer until the airdrop you mentioned arrives?"
In the clearing, Yang Clan Elder Yang Wangcai looked impatiently at the horizon, his tone noticeably irritable:
"If it were the usual times, waiting would be fine, but with Zhengchu's tribulation approaching, everyone in the Yang Family is making final preparations, and every breath is extremely precious.
Forgive this old man for being blunt, but we don't have much leisure to wait here for some flying chicken."
He had hardly any relationship with Ma Ning, and Ma Ning was just a mortal.
Therefore, even though he tried to control his words, there was still a hint of sarcasm in them.
Ma Ning didn't mind this much.
A Core Formation cultivator speaking to a mortal like this was rare enough in the Damo Realm.
No personal attacks were made, so a slightly bad attitude was tolerable.
He merely cleared his throat lightly:
"Rest assured, Yang Clan Elder, the transport aircraft should arrive soon, please be patient for a moment."
Yang Wangcai was about to continue speaking when Yang Zhengchu suddenly interrupted him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"Sixth Brother, be quiet, something is coming."
With these words.
The Core Formation cultivators present immediately corrected their expressions and simultaneously released their divine senses.
Seeing this, Ma Ning quickly moved slightly to the side.
The recording instrument was aimed at the crowd from a very subtle angle, capturing every micro-expression completely.
The range of divine sense for Core Formation cultivators is extensive, and since the direction of the transport aircraft had been previously indicated, no broad scanning was needed.
Therefore, everyone's divine sense easily reached several kilometers away, or even further.
About half a minute passed.
Aside from Yang Zhengchu, the highest in cultivation, Yang Wenbing, raised his brow, clearly having discovered something.
Next was another Yang Family elder at the eighth layer of the Core Formation Realm, Yang Long, usually lurking in the shadows, one of Yang Family's hidden assets.
The third person whose expression changed was…
Yang Wanli!
Although Yang Wanli's reaction time was brief.
In front of the recorder capable of slicing a second into hundreds of frames, Yang Wanli's every move was laid bare.
This apparent first-layer Core Formation Yang Family Patriarch, actually starting at fourth-layer Core Formation, once again refreshed the students' understanding today.
It's worth noting that the cultivators present were all Yang Family's 'backups', a realm far beyond ordinary Core Formation cultivators.
Besides Yang Long and Yang Wenbing, there was also one elder at the sixth layer of the Core Formation Realm and another at the fifth layer.
And Yang Wanli's reaction was better than the other three people…
It's apparent.
There are two possibilities at present.
First, Yang Wanli's pineal gland is exceptionally developed, his divine sense far exceeding ordinary cultivators, a kind of special constitution.
The second possibility…
Is Yang Wanli's realm far exceeds merely entering the fourth layer of Core Formation?
If this is the case, then it becomes very interesting.
You think I'm at the first layer of Core Formation, then reveal I'm actually at the fourth layer, while my realm is even higher.
The level of scheming in this nested game… can be comparable to some cunning protagonists in novels.
On top of this, the key is…
How did he manage it?
It should be known.
Even Mo Family's third patriarch Mo Shaonan—or after seizing the body, Mo Peidong—only publicly reached the fifth layer of Core Formation at eighty-nine years old.
As for Mo Peidong's true realm, let's not make comparisons, such situations achieved through obviously abnormal means and with severe aftereffects aren't suitable for comparison.
And Yang Wanli, now only in his seventies, being at the fourth layer of Core Formation is already considered highly extraordinary.
If his realm is even higher…
With known information, Mo Shaonan is a top-notch mutated golden and earth dual spiritual root, so what might Yang Wanli's aptitude be?
Single spiritual root?
Or a mutated single spiritual root?
Could it be that the Yang Family potentially has a second single spiritual root existing?
But upon careful reflection, this actually makes sense.
After all, it is a large family that has been heritage for over 1400 years, and some strange operations are understandable.
It remains to be said.
Though they may seem a bit naive in front of the students, this result is due to differing worldviews.
In all trade negotiations with the students, the Yang Family has always gained immense profits.
It's just that the students have earned a bit more than them, that's all.
A minute later.
Several loud roaring sounds came.
A moment after.
Five huge transport aircraft flew low over the area.
Seeing this, not only in the valley but even in the nearby Ziqiong City, there was a sense of astonishment.
Chubby Girl, Chubby Girl.
This word 'chubby' isn't just for show, it's truly chubby.
Chubby Girl measures 47 meters in length, with a wingspan of 45 meters, and height of 15 meters.
Although compared to the flying ships of Ziqiong City, Chubby Girl is considerably smaller.
But don't forget.
This time the rabbits came with a total of five Chubby Girls, and Chubby Girl's speed reaches a full 800 km/h, much faster than the flying ships.
Therefore, when the five Chubby Girls flew by at low altitude, the impact was no less than that of the flying ships.
By the way.
The operational radius for Chubby Girl's round trip is at least 4,400 kilometers, and it can easily break 8,000 kilometers in a single journey.
The distance from Ziqiong City to Chixian City is just over a thousand kilometers, with a round trip being about 2,300 kilometers.
So the entire flight is no pressure at all for Chubby Girl.
The pilot executing this airdrop mission is Zhou Pingnan, the same pilot of the WZ-10 who discovered Hua Xiaomo back then.
When he piloted Chubby Girl to fly over the valley, Ma Ning's coordinates were displayed synchronously on the screen.
Seeing this, Zhou Pingnan very steadily pressed the drop button.
Click ——
Moments later.
Chubby Girl's tail skirt opened, and seven or eight large containers were airdropped.
Unlike the 3.45-meter cargo hold of the Ilyushin Il-76.
Chubby Girl's cargo hold is a full four meters wide, with wing boxes on top elevating the central wing above the fuselage, allowing it to carry and airdrop large-volume items.
This is also the reason why Chubby Girl possesses extremely high strategic value in the Damo Realm:
Many transport planes, don't be fooled by their significant load capacity, actually require landing to unload the cargo.
But the Damo Realm doesn't have so many suitable landing sites, and ordinary transport planes can't land on sand and grass terrain. The takeoff and landing you see on the news is relative.
Take for instance the famous An-22, or the C5.
Their declared payload weight is in dozens or even hundreds of tons, but the portion available for airdrop is quite limited.
Therefore, transport planes like Chubby Girl with a large airdrop diameter have extraordinary strategic significance in the Damo Realm.
If an especially extreme situation arises.
Several Chubby Girls could potentially fly 10,000 kilometers directly carrying a battalion of 99A tanks to support combat operations, at the cost of being ready for them to be written off, with the pilots parachuting to safety.
Therefore, considering some very, very special circumstances, the rabbits can be said to possess a 10,000-kilometer combat radius for large teams—of course, there's hardly anything that would make the rabbits go to such lengths.
The debate over C17 and Chubby Girl domestically has never stopped, but in the Damo Realm, there's no doubt that Chubby Girl holds more value.
For example, in this airdrop, Chubby Girl carried part of the Taihu Light Supercomputer's computational modules for transport.
Along with some large capacitive equipment that can be assembled.
These devices are the kind that take quite a bit of time to assemble, so airdropping them allows for assembly during ground vehicle transit.
This way, a lot of time can be saved.
The first batch of containers drifted down slowly from high altitude with parachutes.
At about two to three hundred meters from the ground, several Yang Family cultivators worked together to stabilize them onto the ground.
Then came the second Chubby Girl, dropping a new batch of supplies...
Thus, the process was repeated five times.
After two quarters of an hour, all supplies had landed safely on the ground.
At the same time.
The five Chubby Girls, having completed their mission, abruptly ascended to 10,000 meters before disappearing.
On the ground.
Several Yang Family cultivators exchanged glances, glimpsing complexity and... shock in each other's eyes.
Even Yang Zhengchu, who was half a step into the Nascent Soul, faintly felt considerable pressure.
A flight altitude of over 13,000 meters, even for a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, is not particularly easy to reach.
Of course.
If you insist on flying there, there's no problem, it's just that the expenditure in all aspects might be quite significant.
Such is the case for the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone 'Magical Artifacts.'
For instance, the Yang Family's flying ships can only fly at a maximum altitude of around 5,000 meters, and most of the time they're around 3,000 some meters.
Although Taoshu Commerce Association's actions are obviously a display of muscle, perhaps with a high cost as well.
But to flaunt one's muscle, one must first possess it.
Whether it's showing off affection or muscles.
Many actions, although they seem showy, require having something to show off first.
It's like asking a single person to show off their affection, only to find they don't even have a girlfriend... Oh, is that single person you? Oh, never mind then.
Ahem....
In any case, that's the truth of it, the foundation of Huaxia Commerce Association is evidently deeper than what the Yang Family initially anticipated.
Returning our gaze to the original scene.
Upon receiving a pile of airdropped containers, Zeng Gu Cheng and other professionals promptly began assembly.
Three days later in Huaxia.
A convoy carrying the remaining supplies arrived, and most of the pre-assembled equipment was also nearly completed in testing.
Followed by another two days of assembly and testing.
When the sun rose again in the Damo Realm, all preparations were complete.
The heavenly tribulation is about to arrive!
