During the airship's flight, Herag not only continuously monitored the actions of others on the airship but also paid attention to the flight's direction and distance.
So far, everyone else behaved normally without needing special attention.
The flight direction of the airship was also fine; the route was the usual flight route.
Any slight change in route would immediately alert Herag.
Being on an airship is akin to being inside another isolated space.
No one else had gained enough trust, so one had to be extremely cautious not to be led into a trap.
On the sixth day, the East Source Commerce Association's airship was about to arrive at the location outside Crystal City where the airship crashed.
"Is it over there?" Standing by the window, Herag gazed at the airship wreckage on the ground ahead, deep in thought.
Toby, standing nearby, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Herag."
Ahead on the ground, a massive airship was completely broken in half and lying on the ground, clearly exposing its internal structure.
Judging from the various burn marks, a huge fire must have broken out on the airship, followed by some tremendous force snapping it in half.
This type of airship was a behemoth; Herag found it hard to imagine what kind of power could achieve such feats.
From the data, it was revealed that Abyssal Cultists on the airship summoned a gigantic demon.
The demon not only broke the airship but also claimed many lives.
For wizards, merely falling from the airship was not fatal.
The Feather Fall Technique was just a Level 0 Spell; for wizards, it was a survival skill akin to swimming, and most wizards could perform it.
However, the death count discovered from this airship crash already reached over six hundred, with countless injuries.
The massive casualties were primarily caused by the summoned demon.
Fortunately, Serlandir members from Crystal City reacted quickly and rushed to the scene to eliminate the demon.
Besides the demon, two young men were also killed, both of whom were Abyssal Cultists.
However, an old man escaped, and he was the mastermind.
Serlandir couldn't capture him at that time, and he fled into the pollution zone, where they lost his track.
During the attack, many wizards fled into the pollution zone to evade the demon's attack.
These past few days, some managed to return to Crystal City, but most remained missing.
Without sufficient experience, it's challenging to return from the pollution zone.
Direction orientation alone was an issue, as it was difficult to determine direction within the pollution zone.
"Let's land here; I'll disembark here," said Herag.
Toby nodded and instructed the operation of the airship to slow down and gradually descend.
Once the airship touched the ground, Herag left without looking back.
"Be careful, Mr. Herag!" Toby shouted from behind.
Herag waved his hand, indicating he understood.
The airship took off again, heading towards Crystal City after dropping him off.
They dared not linger in this area and hurriedly left.
Herag first inspected the airship's wreckage, which was now deserted.
Debris from the airship was scattered everywhere, and the ground was gouged out with a massive pit.
Parts that could have been salvaged from the wreck had been collected by Serlandir, leaving nothing of use behind.
Those remnants were difficult to handle and were left there abandoned.
In the coming years, this airship wreck might become a landmark of sorts.
The bodies from inside the airship had been removed and dealt with, as it was common sense not to leave corpses in the pollution zone.
The demon's carcass was also removed for research, leaving behind only traces of huge claw marks on the scene.
Although Herag had not seen the demon, he could sense faint traces of Abyss Plane's aura on the wreckage.
Despite the passage of many days, this aura still lingered over the wreckage.
Herag recalled the wooden carving with the insect he had once found on the airship, which had undergone some changes, swelling and enlarging.
At that time, to avoid trouble, he let out a bit of aura to intimidate the red insect.
In the end, he crushed the red insect, and to this day, he still didn't know what might have happened if it had continued to transform; perhaps a tragedy like this would have occurred.
Herag circled the airship wreck but found no valuable clues.
His goal was to find the missing David; even if he was dead, he wanted to bring his body back for burial.
Currently, David's status was unknown, and the surrounding land was a vast expanse of blackness, making the direction of the search crucial.
If the direction was wrong from the start, it would waste a lot of time, and the chance of David being alive would decrease significantly.
Herag stood in place, contemplating for a moment when the corner of his eye glimpsed a withered potted plant, sparking an idea.
He quickly approached the pot, which contained a Lu Luo plant.
However, the Lu Luo plant was now almost entirely withered, with all its leaves turned yellow.
This was the result of its life energy being absorbed by the desolate pollution.
The black earth had developed this life-energy absorbing trait after the desolation pollution.
Wizards could move freely in the pollution zone because their bodies were fortified by energy particles, allowing resistance to the desolation pollution effects of the land.
If an ordinary person entered this place, they would slowly die due to loss of life energy, even if they faced no other dangers.
Lu Luo plants entering the pollution zone would perish quickly if not protected.
About seven days had passed since the airship crash, and the Lu Luo plant seemed completely dead.
Herag placed his hand on it and, with his innate elfin blood that naturally attunes to nature, sensed the Lu Luo plant wasn't entirely dead yet.
He quickly pulled out some Magic Potion Nutrient Liquid from his space ring, designed to aid the growth and cultivation of plants.
Herag poured a little of the magic potion into the pot, and it quickly seeped into the soil and the roots of the Lu Luo.
He sensed a slight increase in the Lu Luo's life energy but knew it was only temporary.
The Lu Luo was severely polluted and could only hold on for a little longer.
Herag went to these lengths hoping to glean any clues through All Things Have Spirit from the Lu Luo.
He immediately performed All Things Have Spirit on the Lu Luo, perceiving events from a few days ago through its perspective.
