The next day, Su Han and the others brought another missile into the magic world.
Su Han and the others thought the black dragon had destroyed the drone, but surprisingly, it hadn't. It was still tracking the drone. Xiao Yan then controlled the drone for another six hours.
On the third day, another missile was added to the magic world. This time, while Xiao Yan was controlling the drone, after three days and two nights, the black dragon York's patience had run out. Three hours after Xiao Yan began controlling the drone, the black dragon York couldn't stand it any longer and unleashed a breath attack, destroying the drone.
"It's destroyed. The black dragon has finally destroyed the drone. What do we do now?" Xiao Yan asked.
Chu Shi said, "We can only send out another drone to monitor the black dragon."
Xiao Yan asked, "Send out a drone to monitor? Won't it be destroyed by the black dragon?"
"No, the drone will hide in the distant clouds. The cameras will be affected by the clouds, and we will only be able to detect the black dragon's location. As long as we know its location, that's enough."
Su Han asked, "Chu Shi, can these missiles hit that black dragon?"
Chu Shi shook his head and said, "The black dragon is currently four thousand kilometers away. The missiles can't reach it. To hit it, we need to lure it within a thousand kilometers. And within a thousand kilometers, if the drone is destroyed by the black dragon, we won't have precise guidance. Also, the black dragon's magic is unknown. It might have magic that can destroy missiles from a distance."
"The conditions are quite difficult. We need to ensure the safety of the drone tracking the black dragon, and lure the black dragon within a thousand kilometers. It would be easier to just tie up the black dragon and bomb it directly!" Ye Fan said.
This suggestion actually made Chu Shi nod in agreement, saying, "Your method is very good. It would be excellent to tie up the black dragon and then bomb it. This method is worth considering."
"Tie it up. What kind of magic in this world could do that? Tying up a black dragon? Even if we had ropes, we wouldn't be able to find anyone to tie it up," Ye Fan said.
Su Han thought for a moment and said, "Right, this is a magic world! We can find magic to tie up the black dragon. Let's look for a magical solution! Chu Shi, how do we find the old elf Ivan?"
Chu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Then we will need a mode of transportation."
Su Han remembered a plot from the farming novels he had read and said, "Can we use the resources from the magic world to build a vehicle, saving the luggage that headquarters needs to bring?"
Chu Shi nodded and said, "We can. But we need materials that are strong enough."
"Alright, let's go find the materials! Everyone get on your horses, and we'll go find the materials!"
Su Han looked confident.
Ye Fan asked, "Deputy Minister Su Han, have you already thought of what materials to use?"
"Yes, I've already thought of a place with plenty of materials."
"Where is that?" Ye Fan continued to ask.
In Ye Fan's mind, he had already pictured a place filled with gold mines and the like.
Su Han said, "In the Goblin Forest."
Ye Fan immediately understood what Su Han was referring to. He said, "Deputy Minister Su Han, you mean using those trees to build it? Will a wooden cart work? Wood is very slow. If we can't return within a day, it would be a waste of a day's worth of portable items. It would be better to just get assembled car parts from headquarters!"
"Ye Fan, I'm not going to make a wooden cart. I'm going to make a vehicle that can install this engine."
Nearby, the engine removed from the assembled car was still there. Many of the car's other parts had been disassembled and used to assemble the aircraft. The remaining engine had been left there.
"Deputy Minister Su Han, won't that engine fall apart if it's installed on wood?" Ye Fan said.
Su Han shook his head and said, "That's because the wood wasn't good enough. As long as we find suitable wood, it won't fall apart. Military submarines once used wooden parts, and they lasted for decades. Their performance was even better than many metal parts."
Ye Fan was surprised and said, "Is that so?"
Chu Shi said, "That large country in the north of Dragon Country did something like this before. Deputy Minister Su Han's suggestion is very constructive. Let's immediately bring logging tools and weapons to the Goblin Forest to find suitable timber."
"Logging equipment!" Ye Fan reluctantly found a collapsible shovel from a pile of equipment.
This collapsible shovel, used by the Dragon Country army, had various functions besides digging. One of them was chopping wood.
However, to save resources, only one collapsible shovel was brought.
"We only have one collapsible shovel. Won't chopping wood be very slow?" Ye Fan said.
"Slow it may be, but it's better than nothing. Let's go!" Su Han said.
So, the few of them looked around and found the horses they had tamed the previous day. They enticed them with dry rations and then rode them again, carrying a collapsible shovel, some guns and ammunition, and two wheels, setting off towards the Goblin Forest.
This time, they headed directly south. The surrounding terrain had already been surveyed. Su Han and the others knew that traveling south was a shorter distance to the Goblin Forest.
Last time, Su Han and the others had to pass through the Goblin Forest, so they had to find a road. This time, they needed to obtain trees, so they only needed to reach the edge of the forest.
On the grassland before reaching the Goblin Forest, they saw another herd of wild oxen.
Xiao Yan said, "When we cut down trees, using oxen to pull them would be better than horses. Let's go catch a few oxen to use."
Chu Shi said, "Then Xiao Yan, you try. We'll go to the Goblin Forest to chop wood first."
"Okay!" Xiao Yan galloped towards the herd of wild oxen.
When the herd of wild oxen saw Xiao Yan approaching, they looked at him with hostility.
Su Han and the other four hadn't gone far when the wild oxen began to attack Xiao Yan with earth magic.
Xiao Yan was happily entangled with the wild oxen there.
This time, Su Han and the others took an hour and a half, crossed a mountain, and finally arrived at the edge of the Goblin Forest.
"Let's start looking for wood that can be used to assemble a vehicle!" Su Han said.
"Okay!" Ye Fan took the collapsible shovel and began searching the surrounding trees. He found a tree about a bowl's width and began chopping it down.
Half a minute later, the tree was chopped down and the canopy was removed.
Chu Shi looked at the tree and shook his head: "Not suitable!"
Ye Fan had to continue looking for another tree.
At this time, deep within the forest ahead, the sound of logging had woken up some magical creatures.
