Chapter 755 406: Shock! Brother Seriously Injured
To ordinary people, today's weather in Wangchun City is clear with clouds, but not many.
But in Duan Yun's eyes, the clouds in the sky today are a kind of giant entity, so vast and enormous that even ancient beasts can't describe them.
Even he feels a sense of oppression and fear.
Yet, there is also excitement.
Excitement for the unknown.
Duan Yun even doubts how many people in the Martial World, from ancient times till now, have flown this high to take a look like him.
The next moment, he stepped with his left foot on his right foot, his figure swayed, and he was already immersed in the clouds.
These clouds should be cumulonimbus clouds, and once Duan Yun entered, he felt the heavy moisture.
It didn't take long before he was completely soaked, and his vision was very limited.
Honestly speaking, this feeling is very oppressive, even more so than underwater.
In the middle of it, he could feel the clouds moving, carrying the moisture within them.
Duan Yun didn't have any particular goal, so he wandered through the clouds.
This was his first time truly feeling the vast space of the clouds; he felt as if he were lost in a cold and clear world, making him feel lonely and fearful.
Several times he couldn't help but look back, having a constant feeling that something was following him.
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
In such unfamiliar and low-visibility environments, people do tend to have illusions.
The movement of the clouds made Duan Yun wonder if there was some gigantic creature within them.
Indeed, such vast and thick clouds might nurture life, like a dragon, if the conditions were right.
Duan Yun had seen dragons before, the Azure Dragon that descended over the graveyard left a lasting impression on him.
Could such creatures exist in these clouds?
This is also why, in many legends, dragons always appear when clouds are thick and rain is heavy.
Duan Yun didn't know how long he had been roaming in his cloud because here, he couldn't perceive the passage of time.
Just when Duan Yun wondered if he would ever make it out again, he suddenly heard a sound.
Yes, it was the sound of someone talking.
Duan Yun stood still in the cloud, a feeling of hair-raising fright arose.
Someone?
He didn't think anyone else would venture as high as him, let alone coincidentally reach this patch of rain clouds.
If it wasn't a person, then what was it?
Soaked to the bone, Duan Yun felt a chilling coldness.
The sound wasn't loud, like someone with ill-intentions whispering insidiously. No, listening again, it didn't sound quite human anymore; rather, a kind of spirit or monster imitating human speech.
Duan Yun wiped the accumulated water from his face, continued stepping his left foot on his right foot, and moved in the direction of the sound.
Whether it's a human, ghost, god, or alien, this Young Hero must see it clearly!
This should be the deep part of the cloud, where the moisture felt even more intense, and Duan Yun felt as if he were in water, floating inside without needing to step his left foot on his right consistently.
At this moment, as he drifted toward the sound, he felt like a ghost phasing through the clouds.
One cannot deny that listening to this indistinct "voice," Duan Yun felt both nervous and thrilled.
One could say that men naturally have an adventurous gene, which is why many in past lives explored haunted places.
Excitement is indeed a kind of drug that keeps one energized.
As Duan Yun drifted, he suddenly felt something amiss.
Because although he was always approaching the sound, it seemed to remain as distant as before.
Before he knew it, he might have already followed the sound for quite some distance.
At that moment, Duan Yun remembered certain ghost stories where demons love to mimic human voices, even impersonate the voices of your loved ones, luring you to certain places and devouring you once you get close.
Duan Yun was approaching the sound on his own initiative, so naturally, he wasn't afraid of that.
The moment he stopped, the source of the sound also seemed to halt, continuing to emit that monster's imitation of human speech, not too far nor too close.
But Duan Yun had just halted for a second before he launched himself like an arrow towards the direction of the sound, at an extremely fast speed.
The clouds parted into a turbulent hole as he charged.
A buzzing sound, like the wings of a giant bee, and something flew toward his right hand, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Duan Yun followed, also moving very fast.
Yet in the next instant, Duan Yun couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He emerged from the cloud and regained the light, temporarily feeling a bit unadapted.
At that moment, it was very difficult for him to trace that thing again.
Because the human-like voice had disappeared, as if it were an illusion.
Duan Yun was certain that these clouds were indeed not empty, but had something within them.
He didn't continue exploring inside; one reason was that he discovered that in such an environment inside the clouds, his hearing and Pupil Power still needed improvement, especially the Pupil Power. If he couldn't see further as if using a spotlight, it would greatly affect his exploration, like how he lost track this time. Of course, there was another more important reason.
He was hungry.
It should be about mealtime now.
Exploring in the clouds is a big undertaking; it's not something that can be fully explored in one day.
And one must eat properly.
So he decided to go down for a meal.
Duan Yun drifted down from the sky, his body wet and cold.
After coming out of the clouds, he found not only frost on his brow but even a thin layer of ice on his clothes, crackling crisply when touched.
The day hadn't even turned dark, and his exploration within the clouds hadn't lasted more than a day, yet it felt as prolonged as several days to him.
