Chapter 127: First Experience with the Teleportation Array (Part 2)
Upon hearing Yang Bolin announce that they could set off, Ma Ning and the others were visibly excited:
The long-awaited transmission was finally here!
Soon, everyone quickly gathered their belongings and followed Yang Bolin into the inner city.
The inner city wasn't large, approximately 50x50 in dimensions.
The ground was empty, without other buildings, only rows of chairs for resting.
Aside from these rows of chairs.
There was solely an ancient altar-like platform in the very center of the area, about two meters high.
The platform had steps on all four sides, and on the right side of the steps sat an elder in a black robe, his hair and beard white.
The elder's face was severe, his temperament cold, seemingly the operator and guardian of the array.
From Yang Bolin's respectful attitude toward him, it could be deduced that his cultivation was at least at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage, most likely a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
He could be considered the strongest cultivator the rabbits had seen in the Damo Realm.
At the top of the steps was a circular array, not standing vertically like a light gate, but embedded flatly on the platform.
The array had a diameter of about eight meters, inscribed with several mysterious symbols, emanating a faint blue light.
Upon seeing these symbols and the blue light, Wu Fan's pupils contracted instantly.
He subtly moved slightly forward, gently tugging at Lin Ziming's clothes, and spoke in a low voice:
"Colonel Lin, these symbols and blue light... appeared on the light gate before!"
Lin Ziming was shocked upon hearing this and visibly tensed up.
He took a deep breath, clenched his teeth to force himself to calm down, and asked in a low and serious manner:
"Are you sure? Is there any possibility of mistaking them?"
Wu Fan shook his head decisively and said:
"Colonel Lin, I have a vivid impression of a few of the symbols; I can be sure they've appeared before and were among the first batch to appear.
However...
The light gate had hundreds or even thousands of symbols, much more than this teleportation array's symbols."
Lin Ziming kept this information in mind and turned his head, giving the array a deep look, then said to Wu Fan:
"Thank you, Comrade Wu Fan."
A few minutes later.
They arrived near the teleportation platform, stopping about twenty meters away.
According to Yang Bolin.
The teleportation array requires a special crystal stone to activate, which can last for two hours after activation, allowing unlimited transmissions within that time.
In a certain sense,
the teleportation array is somewhat similar to the flying ship they used earlier, which required over a thousand spirit stones to take off once.
Afterward, the profit from each stop, deducting labor costs, was pure profit.
As for the crystal stone needed by the teleportation array, Yang Bolin didn't mention it, nor did Ma Ning ask.
After all, such a crystal stone is undoubtedly a strategic resource; there will be opportunities to understand it in the future, and asking rashly without prior contact might add unnecessary trouble.
Upon reaching the teleportation platform, Yang Bolin divided everyone into batches.
The first to stand on the teleportation array were the people from Tingyun Pavilion, as they were the only Nascent Soul-level force present, deserving due respect.
The Tingyun Pavilion group brought boxes with happy sticks onto the array. After a few minutes, their leader made a gesture.
The black-robed elder pressed a crystal stone with his hand immediately.
A few breaths later, blue mist enveloped the teleportation array, covering up to everyone's ankles.
Subsequently, several symbols glowed simultaneously, and the figures in the center began to gradually fade, disappearing entirely after a few breaths.
The first teleportation completed here.
Next was the second caravan.
Ma Ning noticed that among the members of this second caravan was a creature resembling a donkey but with a fish head.
Judging by the amount of cargo on its back, it was likely a donkey from a production team.
As if implying that even a salted fish could do the work of a donkey?
Ahem.
The appearance of such a 'fish donkey' suggests one thing:
The Damo Realm's teleportation array appears highly accommodating, not only capable of teleporting people or inanimate objects.
The second caravan also quickly entered the teleportation array and disappeared.
Then came the third...
Fourth.....
After the fourth caravan was teleported away, Yang Bolin suddenly stopped the fifth caravan from advancing.
About five to six minutes later.
Several cultivators from other cities appeared from the array, walked past with calm expressions.
The emblem on their clothes featured a majestic building, indicating a not insignificant background.
Watching these cultivators disappear from sight, Yang Bolin pondered as he stroked his chin:
"Li Family of Immortal Palace City, aren't they supposed to be refining Gathering Essence Pills?
Why come to Ziqiong City, could it be that a ground vein flame appeared in Ziqiong City?
Strange, if someone had a ground vein flame, why wouldn't they sell it to us at Purple Treasure Pavilion?"
Although Yang Bolin was right beside them, Wu Fan and Wei Niandong did not speak, but the translator converted Yang Bolin's words into Huaxia language, precise and clear.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziming instinctively exchanged a glance with Mu Ge.
From each other's eyes, they discerned two meanings:
1. In a few days, there would be a good show to watch.
2. Someone else would have to come to Ziqiong City next time.
As for the three deceived business associations... the rabbits felt no guilt.
These three associations could be deemed notorious, driven by profit, with who knows how many innocent civilians' lives in their hands.
Rabbits have punished evil before, many such local tyrants were once subjected to just punishment.
After this small episode, the teleportations continued.
......
By the time it was the trade group's turn to board the teleportation array, the other caravans had already been teleported away.
Feigning the lack of spatial bags, everyone moved the cargo box by box into the teleportation array.
Previously mentioned, the circular altar had steps in four directions.
During the earlier waiting period, seizing the chance while moving and making way for the Li Family from Immortal Palace City, they quietly moved several small crates to the other side of the cultivator activating the teleportation array.
From a bird's-eye view, this would be simpler:
At this moment, the personnel carrying equipment were on the left side of the circle, Yang Bolin, Ma Ning, and others below the circle, and the elder operating the teleportation array on the right side of the circle.
This means the stairway the equipment carriers ascended was largely out of sight visually.
Then, during the cargo moving process.
Special Forces member Chen Fei's partner, also the tallest among them, Liu Ming, took the opportunity to adjust his position, using his body to block Yang Bolin's sight.
And taking this chance.
Zhuo Yuanxin tore open a third-level talisman the trade group had purchased at a high cost.
This talisman cost up to eight hundred spirit stones, and its effect is singular—creating a simulacrum in place for a short time, allowing the bearer to evade divine sense detection below the fifth-layer Core Formation Realm.
Only by fully blocking Yang Bolin and others' vision and divine sense could the rabbits' plan proceed normally.
