Chapter 104 103: [Lost Flower Field] Floating Island
Author: I really want to eat meat 597
How can two people without wings land on a floating island thousands of meters above the ground?
At the moment when doubts arose, Anji decisively asked Sean, but she only saw an apologetic answer from the other party: "I'm sorry, I don't know."
Out of helplessness, she could only take out the map again from the storage earring. While asking Sean to help hold the reins, she began to look at the map carefully, trying to find some details that she had missed.
But it is a pity that it is not that Anji missed something, but that this point was not written on the map.
Lord Slade, what's wrong with you?! Why did you miss such crucial information?!
Anji couldn't help complaining in her heart, and at the same time she also had some other ideas - maybe as long as she waits until she is near the empty island, she can naturally find a way to get up?
With this in mind, she and Sean sat on horseback together, gradually approaching the huge island far away in the horizon.
The speed of the ghost horse is much faster than that of ordinary horses, and it is tireless. After two hours of running, Sean and Angie were finally able to vaguely see the outline of "those islands"——
There is not just one empty island.
It is an archipelago composed of a large central island and several surrounding small islands.
Several majestic waterfalls cascaded down from the edge of the island. Even from a distance of five kilometers, you could feel the humidity in the air suddenly increasing, and even the flower fields under your feet had become muddy.
Even though those islands are still a considerable distance away from them, the changes in the surrounding landscape are enough to prove that this journey is gradually coming to an end.
However, their speed suddenly slowed down - because the ghost horse had reached its limit.
Its originally dark body has become almost transparent, flashing at a fast pace, as if it is about to run out of power...
It's just that it hasn't returned to the whistle for a long time, as if it was waiting for something.
Recalling how to use the ghost horse, Angie and Sean dismounted one after another, and then the former gently patted the horse three times with his left hand.
one two three.
At the last tap, Angie's left hand immediately felt the familiar slight pain, and then the ghost horse disappeared on the spot and returned to the whistle.
Anji glanced at her left hand, which had two shallow teeth marks and was bleeding slightly, and then at her right hand, which had been pierced by a vine and was still bleeding from the cotton bandage. She was speechless.
If you use these evil things every day, nothing good will happen!
At this moment, she heard Sean next to her ask in a concerned tone:
"Angie, is your hand okay?"
"Ah, it's okay~"
Anji smiled and answered casually, subconsciously hiding his right hand behind his back, and then saw him speak again with a worried look on his face:
"Does your hand get hurt so badly every time you use that sword?"
This sudden concern made Anji very uncomfortable. She explained sheepishly:
"Oh, that's not the case... If it's just a very weak enemy, then there's no need to let it prick my hand. In fact, while those vines suck blood from my hand, they can also play a very good role in fixing it, preventing the sword from being stabbed.
The handle leaves my hand. And I’m used to this feeling, so it’s okay. As long as I use my ability next time, the wound will naturally recover~”
As she spoke, her expression gradually returned to normal, and finally she smiled at Sean.
Sean smiled reluctantly and said nothing more, but his face became a little solemn, as if he was worried. Even if Angie asked, he just shook his head and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it."
”.
Although Anji still has some doubts in her heart, it is normal for a young man of this age to have worries, and it is harmless.
What's more, Sean was still caring about her just now. In this rare atmosphere of equality, she should be more tolerant of him and stop looking for trouble.
Thinking this way, Anji did not go to find out more about it, but took the initiative to suggest:
"Sean, let's walk to the bottom of that island? Although I don't know how to get up there, I still have to go there and have a look - I can't let you stay here forever."
"Well, I listen to you," Sean responded obediently as always, but couldn't help but add, "...but my symptoms have not worsened, it's just dizziness. It doesn't matter if I stay here, you
Don’t worry so much——”
"Okay, you are not allowed to say any more."
Anji interrupted him with a smile, but there was an air of refusal in his tone.
Then, she suddenly trotted forward a few steps, then turned to look at Sean, who was a little dazed, smiled and waved, and said to him: "Come, follow me!"
Sean came back to his senses immediately, smiled helplessly, and quickly followed her pace.
As the two of them trotted along, the island got closer and closer to them. At the same time, the waterfalls hanging down from a thousand meters above the ground gradually became clearer.
The muddy ground has completely turned into a wetland, the water vapor in the air is getting thicker and thicker, and the roaring and noisy sound of running water is getting louder... All changes are symbolic: the waterfall in the distance has a terrifying power that can change the world.
The power of terror.
That is the great power of nature and a natural creation. Although in this cursed realm, this "nature" needs to be questioned, one thing is beyond doubt:
There must be water around these waterfalls, and currently they cannot do things like "walk on water" - now, they should consider taking a detour.
And when they reached the top of the higher hills, Anji, who was standing at the top, could finally see from a distance what kind of scenery was around the waterfall.
Below the waterfall is a huge, downward-dented water storage lake.
This lake that is so big that it is almost impossible to see the edge must have a diameter of thousands of meters, and its depth is immeasurable-the blue water surface looks like a bottomless bottom, and the ferocious waterfalls falling from the sky bring with it
With immeasurable and amazing force, under the long-term erosion of the waterfall, this reservoir will naturally have a correspondingly terrifying depth.
But even with such a huge water storage capacity, this large, concave lake still cannot hold the raging waterfalls that continue to fall from the sky.
The lake water continued to overflow in all directions, covering all the nearby ground with a thin layer of water, just like patches of rice fields - but the crops in these "paddy fields" were only flowers and grass.
In the relatively low-lying areas, there are several clear streams flowing, as well as large and small ponds... All the strange landscapes nearby are caused by the "City in the Sky" suspended in the sky above.
brought.
Thinking of this, Anji couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
But these spectacular scenery are only eye-catching and cannot help them find a way to land on the island.
So they bypassed this wide and noisy water area and continued on their way. After walking for a while, they arrived near the bottom of the island.
The misty environment greatly affected their vision. They walked aimlessly in this area for a long time, until Anji, who had better eyesight, finally noticed that in the hazy water vapor in the distance, there seemed to be something coming from above.
"A something" hanging down.
It swayed left and right in the breeze, looking light and fluttery, and as the two of them ran closer to it, they could finally see clearly what it was——
This is a rough and crude rope ladder made of hemp rope.
Although it doesn't look very strong, it is actually quite strong - even if Anji uses all his strength to pull the rope on one side to both sides, it will not change at all.
However, Anji was still uneasy. In order to test its load-bearing capacity, she carefully stepped on the rope ladder and climbed a few more steps.
But at this moment, holding the rope ladder tightly with one hand, she suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and the whistling wind could be heard in her ears - at this moment, she had reached an altitude of more than ten meters!
In the panic caused by the feeling of weightlessness, Anji did not cry out, but subconsciously tensed up her whole body, grabbed the rope with both hands, and tried hard to step on the soft rope ladder with both feet.
As she tightened her grip on the rope, the multiple wounds on her right hand opened slightly, and the pain of the torn flesh was continuously transmitted to her brain.
But Anji had no time to pay attention to this. He just watched in shock as the rope ladder in his hand quickly retracted upwards. He was shocked to find that he was carried high into the sky by it in such an instant and was still rising.
In her field of vision, Sean standing on the ground was shrinking rapidly, and there was an extremely fierce howling sound in her ears, and she could faintly hear Sean's anxious call...
But almost in the next second, she reacted immediately - she should have let go from the beginning!!
Originally, at a height of more than ten meters, as long as she used her power to jump down, she would probably not fall to death, which was just a pain point.
But under this sudden strong sense of weightlessness, her heart was involuntarily shrouded in panic and fear, which caused her thinking to fail to break through the common sense that "if you fall from a height, you will die" immediately, so she
There was a moment's hesitation.
And just in this split second, she was already lifted up to an unknown height in the air by the rope ladder!
Although she couldn't accurately know her current height, she could roughly guess it by looking at Sean who had grown to the size of an ant below - I'm afraid it was at least more than 20 stories high!!
