Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1639 Crossing the Mountains 2
"Elevation...is something like 'lake elevation', right?" Phil guessed—because there is no ocean on the floating continent.

"That's right. Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the thinner the air... the more difficult it is to breathe." Night Breeze said, "It stands to reason that people at the altitude of the Floating Continent should not be able to breathe at all." The only way to survive is...but because of the magic power, the air above is still well preserved."

"It's only on the surface. It's still quite uncomfortable on the Warcraft Mountains." Huanmeng said, smashing another stone blocking the way: "Huanmeng... can last for a while, but such mental energy-consuming activities are really impossible. Keep it up for a long time."

Huanmeng's job is to sit in front and "open the way" for the vehicle: this is a remote mountain with few people, and only experienced herbalists will come here occasionally—as for the vehicle?
Huanmeng reckoned that he was the first person to use a motor vehicle to cross this mountain range.

It was okay when they first went up the mountain—the plan of the four of them was to start from the country of Burning Stone, climb over the mountains and then arrive at the next country; Come and "barely" drive - in fact, if there is no help from the wind magic, it can be said that it is difficult to move on that part of the road.

The road became narrower and narrower, and finally disappeared completely; after the road disappeared, the four of them had to barely pass through the jungle without cutting down trees as much as possible—or rolled over the stream, or over the lawn, imposing After the magic shield at the bottom, even the bushes can pass through.Vegetation gradually decreased, but the road did not become smooth.The road the four of them passed was either sloped or potholed, and even blocked by a steep rock wall—if even the rock wall was to be destroyed, the consumption of magic power would be too great, so they had to choose a detour.In this way, the driving route of the vehicle is twisted, and the estimated time to reach the destination is also longer.

"Compressed air...cough, why don't you go down and get some now?" Phil suggested, "Just take a break?"

"That's not necessary... Even if the air is brought up, it will dissipate in a short time, and it will be very boring if it is completely circled." Huanmeng shook his head, "It's better to think about how to pass through this area earlier. "

"The more important thing is that the trunk is already full, and there is no place to put it when I bring it here." Hanjiang added.

Due to the successful organization of the action to lower the price of salt coal between the two countries, the prestige of the four people has risen to a terrifying level in the two countries - the officials are full of praise every day, and they are even proud of who can use more beautiful words to praise the four people The common people even regarded the four as envoys sent by the gods——according to this thinking, the sea god and the mountain god actually sent the same group of people, the number of "envoys" is a bit short.Of course, it’s not just verbal praise, there are also real objects; the pearls and gemstones sent by the two countries were declined by Huanmeng, but the ingredients were taken as they were ordered—there were not many ingredients sent by the two countries, but they were all the most delicious , The most precious part, including the part purchased by Phil and Night Breeze, just filled the trunk.

And it wasn't just food they gave away -- thank you money, too.Aristocrats, officials and rich people from the two countries rushed to donate money in the name of funding the trip of the four of them—the situation was different from before. Before the price of salt coal was lowered, the income from the investment was unstable, but now—in terms of reputation The income is very stable, and if you can't say it, you will be accused of being stingy.This is quite a huge sum of wealth, far exceeding Huanmeng's investment.

Huanmeng only took her part of the investment, and she asked for the rest to be returned to the investors in proportion - if those people were so generous earlier, the prices of sea salt and coal might have dropped long ago.
