Chapter 1376 Cloudtop Palace

"You saw it?"

Zhang Tuohai and Fei Ye suddenly turned around and looked at the first mate.

"Although I don't know if it is the one you mentioned, I did see a sword-shaped mountain when I entered this world. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it."

The first mate said quickly.

He knew that his life was now in Zhang Tuohai's hands, and whether he lived or died depended on the other party's decision.

There is only one way to increase your chances of survival, and that is to prove that you are still valuable.

Being used by others is not scary, the scariest thing is that you are not even of any use to others.

In order to survive, the first mate gave it his all and tried his best to demonstrate his worth.

If Zhang Tuohai asked him to counterattack the New World Development Group now, he would do it without hesitation.

After all, attacking the New World Development Group might result in death, but not listening to Zhang Tuohai would result in immediate death.

"Then take us there. If it's true, I can consider letting you live. If it's false, I'll let you have a taste of what it means to be a trapeze artist."

Zhang Tuohai patted the first mate on the shoulder.

"Set sail now."

"Yes." The first mate immediately turned the spacecraft and flew towards the Sword Mountain he saw.

Zhang Tuohai watched the first mate control the spacecraft and memorized how to control it, then walked to the window and looked at the terrain outside.

This was the first time he saw the world from this perspective.

The area around the capital where he was previously located was a vast plain with a flat terrain, two large rivers flowing through it, fertile land, and abundant water tanks.

But as you head west, the terrain changes dramatically.

The land suddenly rose up and turned into mountains that towered into the clouds. The highest of these mountains was tens of thousands of meters, and the lowest was three or four thousand meters. Moreover, the mountains were steep, with cliffs, deep ravines and blocked roads everywhere. Not to mention ordinary people, even martial arts masters would find it difficult to pass.

Zhang Tuohai looked into the distance, and all he could see were towering mountains that stretched to the end of the horizon like a dense forest.

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Tuohai began to understand why Daqian had been established for so many years but had not yet incorporated all its land territories into its territory.

This area is really difficult to develop, and even if it is occupied, it has no value and is a pure negative asset.

"Look, that's the Sword Mountain over there!"

The first mate suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tuohai looked in the direction the first mate pointed.

I discovered that there was indeed a mountain in the distance. The mountain looked towering into the clouds, and its overall shape was like a sharp sword piercing straight into the clouds. It stood out among the other mountains and was obviously different.

"It really looks like a sword."

Zhang Tuohai nodded.

If it weren't for the first mate showing him the way, he might not have been able to find this place.

"Yes, let's go and take a look."

Zhang Tuohai pointed at the mountain that looked like a sword and said.

"Yes, sir."

The first mate quickly maneuvered the Dawn towards the mountain.

Soon, the Dawn stopped near the mountain.

When he walked closer, Zhang Tuohai discovered that the tip of the sword-like mountain was not a sharp blade, but a large flat area on the top.

A large number of pavilions and towers were built on the flat ground, with carved beams and painted rafters, like a huge palace.

"There are actually human buildings here? How did they do that?"

Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but gasp.

There are steep mountains and deep valleys within a thousand miles around, with no birds or animals, making it difficult to survive. In addition, the cliff of this sword-like mountain is almost at a 90-degree angle, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb the mountain.

How was such a large complex built?

What’s the point of building it?

Zhang Tuohai frowned as he looked at the huge palace, feeling that this palace might be of some great significance.

"I think this is most likely where Liuli is going, what do you think?"

Zhang Tuohai looked towards Fei Ye.

"Well, it's very likely. Can we go down and take a look?"

Fei Ye lay by the window, looking at the huge palace below, her little face flushed with excitement.

If they could find the patriarch, there would be hope for their clan.

"Go down."

Zhang Tuohai said to the first mate.

"Yes, sir." The first mate immediately controlled the spacecraft to land.

The Dawn stopped at the square in front of the hall.

"Transfer the captain's authority to me."

Zhang Tuohai said to the first mate.

"Ah?" The first mate was stunned.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Don't think I don't know that you have gained control of the Dawn's mainframe. Now transfer the authority to me and be a good first mate. I can still guarantee your safety. Otherwise, what do you think of this mountain? There are not even birds here. If you hang here for a thousand years, your body will be well preserved. What do you think?"

Zhang Tuohai asked.

"All right."

The first mate knew that he could not deceive Zhang Tuohai, so he could only reluctantly transfer the captain's authority to Zhang Tuohai.

"Host, count the number of people on board the Dawn and their resumes."

Zhang Tuohai ordered.

"It has been sorted out, please have a look, Captain."

A list immediately appeared on the big screen, with each person's detailed information and position.

Zhang Tuohai took a look and found that most of them were ordinary staff and various functional staff, such as engine engineers, chefs, etc.

The total number of people is no more than 30.

"Lock everyone in Warehouse No. 1 and assign combat mechanical puppets to guard them. If anyone tries to escape, kill them immediately."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"Yes, Captain."

The host immediately broadcast to the entire ship and dispatched combat mechanical puppets to drive those members who tried to hide into Warehouse No. 1.

"You go in too."

Zhang Tuohai said to the first mate next to him.

"I'm going in too?" The first mate pointed at his nose, a little incredulous.

"I'm afraid you'll cause trouble outside, so you'd better go in by yourself. Otherwise, I will use other means to control your freedom. Do you want to try it?"

Zhang Tuohai asked with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go in now."

The first mate said quickly.

Anyway, Warehouse No. 1 is a warehouse for storing valuables. It is quite good inside, with ample space, and you can move around freely.

If Zhang Tuohai controlled me using other methods, who knows what would have happened.

When the first mate was drinking in the bar, he often heard the mercenaries brag about the strange punishments they had seen in various worlds.

In one world, all prisoners were forced to ride on wooden donkeys to prevent them from escaping.

He doesn't want to be taken advantage of through the back door.

The first mate ran towards Warehouse No. 1 with a strange look on his face.

Zhang Tuohai finally breathed a sigh of relief after locking all the crew members in Warehouse No. 1.

The Dawn is of great use to him and cannot be lost.

"Let's go and see if this is where your clan leader comes from."
