#597 - Chapter 595: Clouds
“Demon Lord, please step on my back!”
Hei Dayu solemnly lowered his body, bowing his head to signal to the Shadowpanther Demon Lord, Mo Yi, to step on him.
The Ethereal Bird Clan regarded their heads as extremely important; even if captured or killed, they would not bow their heads in the slightest.
But this time, he pressed his head to the ground, showing how heavy his heart was, how firm his resolve for revenge, and how much trust he had in Mo Yi.
“Oh? Hei Dayu, could it be that your hatching grounds are still in the sky?”
Mo Yi looked at Hei Dayu, who was buried head in front of him, and a sly smile rose at the corner of its mouth.
It had searched for the Ethereal Bird's hatching grounds for two full years, all to no avail, but it never expected that just by casually deceiving a little Ethereal Bird steward, it would so easily obtain the location.
Thanks to the humans!
Humans were truly its lucky stars; not only did they kill the Ethereal Bird Clan Leader, leaving the birds without a head, but they also successively killed the Great Elder and Second Elder, allowing this stupid bird to take it to the new Clan Leader's territory.
Hehehehe~
Suppressing the smile at the corner of its mouth, Mo Yi slowly and deliberately stepped onto Hei Dayu's back.
“Hei Dayu, time is of the essence, fly quickly.”
“Li!”
ஐ ஐ ஐ ஐ ஐ
“It's so high, I feel like I can almost touch the Gravity Barrier.”
In the sky, Yan Cheng and the others were riding the White Dog Cloud, flying at full speed towards the direction of the compass.
Lying on top, Song Jiang lazily looked at the white clouds and twinkling stars above.
Thousands of clouds pass by the Floating Dog!
A clear dream fills the Milky Way!
Good poem, good poem.
“Speaking of which, how strong is the gravity above the Gravity Barrier? It can actually prevent our satellites from flying beyond the planet.”
Humanity began exploring the starry sky as soon as they gained a foothold in the other world, but until now, they have not achieved any results, all because of that layer of invisible membrane that isolates gravity.
Once you fly above it, the gravity will rapidly increase and constantly change, greatly hindering technology from reaching the sky.
Yan Cheng patted Qi Jing, who was lying on the cloud looking down:
“Old Qi, go ahead! If it's a debuff, wouldn't that mean it won't have any effect on you?”
“Do you think I haven't tried it before? It doesn't work.”
When he first learned to fly, he had already tried to ascend on the spot.
At that time, he discovered that as long as he rose to a certain height, the gravity would increase dramatically, and every few meters upward, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
Even the legendary Sky City, the highest of them all, only dared to build not far from the Gravity Barrier, not daring to exceed it too much.
Their mortal bodies were even less capable.
“Captain, the compass needle has changed.”
Zhu Qing'an, who had been staring at the compass, suddenly noticed a subtle change and said:
“If you look at it obliquely, the perpendicular angle of the compass needle will become smaller and smaller, and based on the White Dog Cloud's speed, it should be decreasing uniformly.
However, it just changed, becoming a bit faster.
That is to say, the target is approaching us; we are rushing towards each other. It may be running on the ground towards us, or it may be ascending.”
People with culture speak differently.
Rushing towards each other, good phrase.
Qi Jing smiled and said:
“It seems my baby can't wait to see me.”
“I'll help you!”
Yan Cheng ran to the end of the White Dog Cloud, raised his Wind Chicken Claw, fanned it backward, and shouted:
“Let the good wind borrow its strength to send you to the Western Paradise!”
It can be seen that being with Zhu Qing'an, a senior who often speaks in poetry, everyone has become more cultured.
Just not much.
“Don't make it up if you can't, you're Ma Liang, not a crow's beak!”
The White Dog Cloud suddenly accelerated, and the strong sense of push made Qi Jing quickly use Crane Control Capture Dragon to prevent them from being thrown off.
“Awesome!”
The group lay prone on the White Dog Cloud, some excitedly looking around, others shouting loudly.
As the White Dog Cloud flew forward quickly, the surrounding clouds retreated rapidly like a tide.
Those clouds were in various shapes, some as fluffy and soft as cotton candy; others like works of art carved by skillful hands, with strange and beautiful shapes; and still others like light gauze curtains, light and ethereal, giving people a feeling of joy.
It was like being in a dreamlike world, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a dream and an illusion.
Through the thin clouds, you could see the vast and boundless earth below, with rolling mountains and winding rivers, like a beautiful picture unfolding before your eyes.
Above was the azure, jewel-like sky, with moonlight pouring down, giving the whole scene a layer of pure white brilliance, making everything seem so mysterious and beautiful.
The wind gently brushed across their faces, bringing a hint of coolness and fresh air.
The active Yan Cheng also closed his eyes, feeling this wonderful moment, his mood calmer than ever before.
The others were also attracted by this beautiful scenery, and they couldn't help but exclaim and praise.
As the speed gradually slowed down, time in this cloud forest seemed to become very, very slow, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the world, with only the gentle sound of the wind and the slow movement of the White Dog Cloud accompanying them all the way forward, flying towards the distance.
After a long time.
“Senior, how far are we from the treasure?” Yan Cheng asked with his eyes closed, enjoying the peace all the way.
But he waited for several seconds without hearing anyone's reply.
Where are the people?
His heart suddenly constricted, and he quickly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a boundless, vast expanse of white clouds, stacked upon each other as if extending to the end of the world.
The scenery was good, but in this vast sea of clouds, there was no sign of life.
Without Qi Jing, without teammates, the whole space was so quiet that it felt somewhat oppressive and lonely.
The moonlight shone down, bringing a hint of warmth to this white world, but it could not dispel the silence and coldness that penetrated Yan Cheng's bones.
Where are the people!
He vigilantly observed everything around him, and after discovering that there was no danger, he slowly began to think.
The environment changed instantly, without any warning, and Qi Jing didn't give any warning either.
So, it must not be harmful to him.
Could it be an illusion?
Yan Cheng immediately guessed where he was, after all, it was too much like a dream.
The soft white clouds stretched to the horizon, looking exactly like the Nine Heavens in TV shows. How could there be such a place in reality?
But he didn't have any way to break it, so he could only wait for Qi Jing's rescue.
Even if everyone was pulled into the illusion, this captain definitely wouldn't be. He would definitely find a way to find himself.
With Old Qi's efficiency, Old Yan shouldn't have to wait long to get out.
A small illusion, conquered!
At the same time.
The others were also trapped in the same situation as Yan Cheng.
They had all been quietly moved onto this boundless white cloud without knowing when.
Song Jiang: “Eat well, drink well, and wait for Grandpa Qi to save us.”
Han Yinuo: “One day, the captain will step on auspicious colorful clouds to come here and save me.”
Yin Ci: “Wait.”
Shen Jianxin: “Unable to identify, it must be an illusion. It seems we can only wait for the rescue of that omnipotent but unfamiliar captain.”
Tan Zuoyin: “Can you hear me? Fang Sheng? No sound, okay, you will definitely come, let's walk around first.”
Miao Kui: “Illusion? It's almost twelve o'clock, will I transform into a magical girl who is not afraid of illusions?”
Zhu Qing'an: “Bodhi is not a tree, a bright mirror is not a stand, break!”
