Chapter 462: This is Your Intimidation?
But soon, their whistling turned into screams of pain.
Swish, swish!!
Without even seeing how Yelan moved, dozens of invisible silver needles formed from magic shot toward the whistling job-changers!
Pfft!
The sound of the invisible needles piercing flesh.
Followed by the agonizing screams of the job-changers.
Flight attendants quickly came over to inquire.
But the job-changers immediately realized something, frantically shaking their heads, claiming they had accidentally hurt themselves.
In the underworld, having keen eyes is most important.
When you realize the terrifying strength of your opponent, you don't stubbornly go head-to-head.
Instead, you learn to admit defeat.
In just an instant.
All the passengers on the magic airship broke into a cold sweat, realizing this pale-skinned woman was no joke!
The flight attendants were speechless about the situation.
Yelan and Ling Zhan's seats were next to each other.
A faint orchid scent lingered in the air.
But soon...
As the magic airship started up.
Boom!!
The oversized propulsion system at the back of the airship erupted with an incredible burst of thrust!
The airship shot out from the launch pad like a bullet!
"Ugh!!"
All passengers inside the airship were instantly flung backward, the terrifying thrust making them feel a suffocating pressure!
Especially with the flight attendant's announcement that followed, which made their faces turn pale!
"Attention all passengers, in thirty seconds, the airship will perform its first space jump. Please wear your designated protective gear to avoid spatial compression injuries during the jump."
Clatter!
All passengers hurriedly pressed a button on their seats, releasing a mechanical suit that resembled armor.
They then skillfully put on the suits.
These mechanical suits shimmered with magical energy, providing resistance to the compressive force of the spatial jump and alleviating motion sickness caused by the airship's high speed.
Even Yelan, a level 70+ third-tier powerhouse, had no choice but to put on the mechanical suit.
The compressive force generated during a short-distance spatial jump on such a passenger-carrying vessel was intense; even third-tier job-changers with fragile classes would struggle to withstand it.
It wasn't fatal, but it could still cause injuries.
Only those with thick-skinned, tough melee classes could withstand the spatial compression.
Moreover...
This so-called "short-distance" is only short compared to those massive spatial teleportation arrays.
Compared to the distance of the space-warp skills commonly used by job-changers, this "short-distance" was actually quite long.
This might raise some questions.
Why do these second-tier and third-tier powerhouses, who regularly use skills for spatial travel without issue, seem scared when riding this magic airship?
The reason lies in the rules of spatial travel.
Each spatial pathway has a limited capacity.
When its capacity is exceeded, the space begins to collapse and compress.
This situation is akin to high-level powerhouses forcibly entering lower-level secret realms, causing the realm's space to collapse and shatter.
Massive teleportation arrays also have limitations on the number of people they can transfer.
If spatial travel had no capacity limit...
Then on the frontline battlefields of forbidden zones, mages with spatial talents could freely transport tens of thousands of troops to any battle point.
Wherever support was needed, they could just teleport there.
That would be too overwhelming.
This compressive force resulting from exceeding spatial rules is something that even third-tier fragile classes cannot fully resist.
So even someone as strong as Yelan had to obediently wear the mechanical suit.
It's worth noting...
Wearing this mechanical suit requires a certain technique.
Ling Zhan, having encountered it for the first time, didn't know how to open or wear it.
Yelan sat coldly beside him with her eyes closed, seemingly waiting for Ling Zhan to ask her for help.
The guy next to Ling Zhan was also inexperienced and had only just managed to put on his suit after some struggle.
At the moment.
The flight attendants began the countdown.
Only five seconds left before the airship's first space jump.
The man next to Ling Zhan widened his eyes, "Bro, why aren't you wearing the suit? You trying to get yourself killed?"
Ling Zhan replied frankly, "I don't know how to wear it."
"Then you're asking for death!"
The guy snapped angrily.
But despite his words, his hands moved quickly, grabbing Ling Zhan's suit and helping him put it on.
Clearly, he was a tough guy with a soft heart.
"Seriously! Isn't that woman your companion? How come you don't know how to wear this?"
"Even if you don't know, you could've asked that woman next to you for help! Aren't you two together? She put hers on in three seconds flat; I thought she'd help you too!"
The guy grumbled while frantically assisting Ling Zhan.
"It's over!"
"This compression will at least leave you severely injured!"
However.
Time ran out; the countdown was over.
Buzz!!
A mystical spatial ripple spread slowly through the airship.
The enchantments and magic runes etched onto the airship began to activate.
The next second.
Boom!!
The entire airship suddenly erupted with a compressive force, and Ling Zhan could clearly see that everyone's bodies were starting to distort!
Some passengers, who were only in their thirties, couldn't help but let out low groans of pain.
This magic airship has a rule that forbids anyone below level 30 from boarding.
Only job-changers above level 30 could ride it, and without the mechanical suit, they'd be severely injured at most, but it would still be survivable.
But it certainly wouldn't be pleasant.
Creak, creak, creak...
At this moment.
The entire magic airship entered a blue spatial tunnel, and the aircraft itself began to emit piercing friction noises.
As the primary vessel bearing the compressive force, it was naturally under the most stress.
If the airship couldn't withstand it and shattered.
All job-changers below level 50 on board would perish.
Those above level 50 wouldn't die but would be abandoned in the spatial tunnel, and who knows where they'd end up being randomly teleported.
At this time.
Yelan, who had been sitting with her eyes closed, finally opened her bright eyes, turning to look at the young man beside her.
The next second, her eyes widened in shock!
Huh!?
This...
What's going on?
She had expected to see a face twisted in agony from the pain.
But to her surprise...
She saw an utterly calm face!
He was looking back at Yelan with the same expression.
In his serene gaze, it was as if he was conveying a message that made Yelan both ashamed and angry: Is this the extent of your intimidation?
