Chapter 373 Smooth Contact
The vegetation on Pandora Planet was extraordinarily lush; the plant vines had even constructed several extra layers of 'ground'.
Looking down through the gaps in the intertwined vines and foliage was like peering into a dark Abyss, with the sporadic glow of bioluminescent plants only adding an eerie atmosphere.
Tao Yu arrived at the barrier and used his Pioneer abilities to open it in advance.
Due to the influence of the Illusion Technique, Johnny and his group didn't 'notice' at all, instead, they expressed surprise,
"Strange, how come we can get in? Before we were always hitting it."
"There must be a gap, be careful, the air here is poisonous, check your helmets again."
After Johnny issued that reminder, he took the lead in heading towards the dense Rainforest. He stretched out his foot to test, and upon discovering that the aerial vine pathways were solid enough, he stepped on them.
"Be careful, it's hollow underneath, don't fall down."
It seemed that gradually, Johnny began to treat Tao Yu and his disguised companions as members of his team.
Although Kisame and his group couldn't understand English, they could still roughly figure out what was going on.
"Mr. Tao really is proficient in everything, I didn't see any flaws in this kind of Illusion Technique."
Kisame commented a bit emotionally.
"Stay quiet for now; I will communicate any important messages to you telepathically. Be aware, the will of this world is very strong and seems to have some suppressive effect on us."
Tao Yu cautioned.
After a moment of thought, he infused a bit of Yuan Force into the tear in the barrier to maintain the opening temporarily.
If Sand Hidden Village has begun making contact, it meant there must be gaps in these barriers.
This world had fallen not long ago, so it naturally had a vulnerable point!
No need to be too meticulous, it didn't matter if there were bugs or even if they were detected, as long as it could briefly serve to let them get through successfully.
The best approach for the off-world company, which had high firepower but lacked high-end combat power, was actually infiltration.
However, the moment he stepped onto the vines, Tao Yu, within his Unity of Heaven and Man state, sensed a subtle oppression from beneath his feet.
"The power of this world really is strong, similar to the present world in some ways. Once strength exceeds a certain threshold, resistance increases. However, it is more sensitive here, but the stronger one's power, the greater the force that can still be exerted here."
With his Unity of Heaven and Man, Tao Yu naturally coordinated with nature, so he easily sensed the pressure mentioned by the affluent lady.
Simply put, a Kage Level's destructive power turned Jonin, a Jonin's destructive power turned Chunin. Anything not within the Pandora system was restricted.
Yet, the strong remain strong; it wasn't a world where exceeding limits would trigger the world's will and 'divine punishment'.
"Perhaps it could indeed trigger 'divine punishment', but even at my current level of power, I wouldn't reach that threshold."
Tao Yu wasn't too concerned with this issue.
If Great Tang or Land of Water were like this, it would indeed be troublesome because those places had their own strong power systems.
Pandora Planet itself had no cultivation system, and he didn't need to wildly use Five Elements Divine Thunder here.
Similar to the Illusion Technique used on Johnny and the others, small tricks were enough.

"This is unbelievable, these are all plants."
"Oh God, it's hollow below, we're in mid-air, over a land made of plants!"
"So pretty, are these glowing things poisonous?"
"Shame we can't breathe this air, why are so many plants poisonous here?"
"..."
Johnny and his soldiers seemed somewhat excited as they entered.
Initially, they were very desperate, isolated and helplessly facing the bugs outside the planet, uncertain what might happen.
Even though the bugs seemed too lazy to climb up and attack them, that psychological pressure was unparalleled for these soldiers.
So even if the Rainforest might be more dangerous, they did not hesitate!
They didn't know the dangers of the Rainforest, but they had a direct understanding of the dangers posed by the bugs!
"Check for any signals."
Johnny said to the communications soldier.
In a place where even the air was poisonous, finding a safe zone was crucial since they needed it for sustenance.
If they couldn't find a signal, they would have to retreat and find another way.
"We've picked up a radio signal, to have it in this thick jungle, they must have a high-power transmitter up above, maybe an orbiting spaceship."
The communications soldier, with a clunky device on his back, began making adjustments, apparently having captured the local radio frequency.
After all, they had advanced to interstellar travel, albeit in a slightly amateurish way, with a communications box reminiscent of World War II.
But its functionality was indeed comprehensive.
Crackle~
With the sound of electric current, they soon achieved connection.
The off-world Pioneer company certainly wouldn't expect the natives of a planet to perform such operations, so their encryption was not very complex.
Suddenly accessing a non-company radio frequency obviously surprised the other side.
"Who are you? Pioneers?"
Standard English came from the radio, pleasing Johnny, who quickly introduced himself.
The effects of Tao Yu's Illusion Technique were clearly significant, allowing Johnny to answer without mentioning them at all, just constantly explaining their own situation and their world.
