Chapter 258 Cloud Beast
When Midie calmly pointed out his purpose and the people of heaven excitedly expressed their negation and whimsical thoughts, time passed by bit by bit.
Finally, the floating island, located on the edge of the black cloud circle and the ice cloud circle, is already in front of you.
The sky suddenly lit up.
It was as if a dark curtain had been torn apart, and the light golden sunlight poured down from the crack, forming a gorgeous and misty light belt. Countless light particles like fireflies floated in the air, illuminating the darkness, like a fairyland.
Soon, as the Narwhal continued to move forward, the light became stronger and stronger, and the darkness became thinner and thinner, like thick ink melted by clear water. These darkness was pulled away one by one, and finally dissolved in the light.
With a loud noise of air piercing, the 65-meter-long Narwhale shook, leaping high, and then falling heavily, like a small sampan held on the waves.
The next moment, everyone's vision instantly became bright and spacious, and the long-lost sense of emptiness and high elevation in the sky and sea of clouds finally came back at this moment.
At the same time, before I knew it, a bone-broken cold wind blew, causing everyone to shrink their necks involuntarily.
Then, a vast world of ice and snow slowly rolled up like an endless scroll in front of me.
Behind are layered black clouds rolling like muffled thunder, and ahead is the snow that swept the ladder like a storm. At this moment, the narwhal, like a tiny grain of dust, slowly moving forward in the gap between the two worlds.
This is a wonderful scene that cannot be described in words.
Even if I had seen Midi at the junction of the black and white circles in my previous life, I could not help but hold my breath and concentrate at this moment, quietly looking up at the wonder created by the great power of nature between heaven and earth.
However, after a brief few dozen seconds of loss, the members of the Narwhal soon returned to normal and then drove the airship to fly towards the predetermined destination.
Between these two worlds, a floating island rock is also floating.
The largest piece of this island rock is the narwhal's resting place this time.
Of course, theoretically speaking, the Narwhal has already left the black cloud circle. Even if the powerful Black Sea current appears, it will not blow into the gap between the two circles. Therefore, the Narwhal just chooses to hover in the gap and wait until the Black Sea current stops before rushing into the black cloud circle.
However, the rules of spice routes over the years have made Victoria directly order the Narwhale to stop on the floating island rock without thinking and making any changes, and also fixed the hull with a large number of steel cables.
Not only that, because the cold wind blowing from the inner ice cloud ring was too cold, this time, Victoria also paid special attention to the maintenance of the airship. She asked the crew to apply a thick layer of antifreeze to the hull to avoid failure due to the low temperature. In addition, a reconnaissance vanguard boat was arranged on the small island rock in front to prevent accidents.
These measures are obviously also the steps formulated by the ancestors of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce. They must be implemented carefully every time they pass this turning point, so the crew of the Narwhal is very easy to do.
However, Midi could feel that behind such careful and careful practice, what is hidden is a deep fear and fear.
"Are you worried about the cloud beast?" Midie glanced at Victoria and asked faintly.
Victoria nodded slightly, frowned involuntarily, and then replied: "Mr. Blade, I am worthy of being a person who wants to travel through the Great Storm Zone. I didn't expect that even these extremely rare information would be known. I am indeed worried about the Cloud Beast. In fact, the location of this turning point is very close to the Cloud Beast's hunting ground in the Ice Cloud Circle. If you are unlucky, you happen to encounter Cloud Beast hunting, which is more troublesome."
I hope there are more cloud beasts.
Midie thought so secretly in her heart.
Cloud Beast, this is one of the unique products in the Ice Cloud Circle.
It is not a monster, but a magical life form similar to the Lord of Light. However, this magical life form is not artificially designed and created, but is spontaneously formed.
In the ice cloud circle, those white ice clouds filled with solemn magic will gradually attract and condense each other after hundreds of years. In another few hundred years, if they are lucky enough to drift to the inner circle and absorb the floating star rays in the star ocean, they will gradually form a magic network in the body with the star rays as the core.
This magic network is like the blood vessels and nervous system in the human body, which bears the function of transporting magic power and conveying commands. When the magic network is dense to a certain extent, it will generate self-awareness.
At this moment, the cloud beast was born.
It is the natural master of the ice cloud circle, and can call out ice, snow and hail at will. Its body is extremely large. No matter how it attacks, the dispersed clouds will gather again and are extremely difficult to destroy. Therefore, for an airship of the Narwhal level, it is indeed a natural enemy and nemesis.
In the previous life, only after the heavy armored cruiser was successfully developed, the cruiser-class airship had the ability to withstand ice and snow and hail and would not disintegrate in the extremely cold environment. Only then did the adventurers have the capital to fight against the cloud beast. Even so, the method of destroying the cloud beast was obtained after repeated temptations and a large amount of sacrifice.
Nowadays, the Narwhal is born with insufficient technology and it is impossible to sail into the ice cloud circle.
The so-called spice route is not the kind that Midi speculated at the beginning. It can bypass the extreme cold of the ice cloud circle and directly enter the internal route, but it is just a shortcut in the black cloud circle.
But at least, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce can be said to be a force in the sky and clouds, second only to the Blue Truth Sect and closest to the core of the Great Storm Zone.
So, at least, Midi hopes to kill one or two cloud beasts to break the concept of these deep-rooted residents of the cloud sea and convince them that the Great Storm Zone is not as terrible as imagined.
I don’t know if it was Midie’s inner prayer, or if Victoria’s luck was too bad on this trip. When the Narwhal waited on the Floating Island Rock for more than three hours, a strong wind suddenly blew out from the ice cloud circle.
Then, the surface of the ice storm collapsed like an avalanche, and from the crack, a pair of huge white claws stretched out.
Then, there was a huge head like a hill.
It is a real cloud beast.
This cloud beast is like an extremely huge lizard, with a length of at least one kilometer - for Yunwu, it is actually quite small - his head alone is as big as several narwhals. If this cloud beast opened its mouth wide, it would probably be able to swallow the narwhal in one bite.
And around its huge mountain-like body, there were clouds and mists, wind and snow whistling, and ice clouds followed, like guards following their masters.
The cloud beast carries clouds and fog, and the entire volume will naturally become larger. From a distance, it may look at least a few kilometers in a radius.
When the cloud beast's eyes, which were also condensed from ice crystals, saw the Narwhal, it suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the clouds around it were discharged. In an instant, it became empty within nearly one kilometer, and the ice cloud circle actually revealed an empty space.
This roar that shook the sky and the earth scared almost everyone.
Although Victoria was barely calm, her face was as pale as if dead. She maintained her last sanity and ordered her men to untie all the ropes immediately, allowing the Narwhale to immediately take off the air and escape.
Although the Black Sea Current is still raging now, it is obvious that it doesn’t care about so much. Instead of being swallowed by the cloud beast, it is better to return to the black cloud circle, and perhaps have a chance to gain a glimmer of vitality and return to the spice route.
This is definitely the most reasonable order.
However, how could those crew members execute the orders at this moment?
After all, they are just employees of the Chamber of Commerce, not iron-blooded soldiers. When they see this cloud beast with a huge head like a hill, they will be scared to death when they hear the deafening roar. Most of them can only watch all this in a daze. Otherwise, they will hide in the cabin and survive, how could they hear what Victoria is saying?
This is not infidelity, but due to instinctive fear.
Only the old housekeeper Lund, with a calm expression, took a step forward and blocked Victoria. However, this was also Lund's limit. In addition to the deep-rooted concept of protecting the lady, the old housekeeper was helpless.
If anyone else on the Narwhal maintained true peace, there was only Midi.
"Wait here, don't act rashly, I'll deal with the cloud beast." Midi left this sentence
The next moment, as soon as his voice fell, a golden red light was rolled up all over his body, and he soared into the air like a shocking sword rainbow, rushing straight towards the huge cloud beast in the distance.
Just rushed over like this?
After a while, Victoria finally understood what Midie was.
Looking at the golden red light that teared the clouds and broke through the sky, and without any scruples, it rushed straight towards the giant that was absolutely impossible to defeat in his mind. The heart of this genius business woman was filled with scent.
She felt that Midi was too arrogant. She was obviously a human in the lower realm, but she thought she was unable to afford it and wanted to challenge obstacles that no one could break for thousands of years.
She was also worried about Midi and herself, because if Midi was lost like this, the Narwhal would have ended with the same fate. Everyone would be buried in the gap between the unmatched ice cloud circle and the black cloud circle. No one knew, no one would look for it, no one would worry about it, and even no one would even save a little bone.
But in the deepest part of the subconscious, Victoria couldn't help but feel expectation.
Looking forward to Midi's victory over this invincible enemy.
It is not because of one's own safety or the entanglement of interests, but just hope that there is a person who can break the long-standing deep-rooted shackles and then open up a new path in front of oneself.
Who doesn’t want to witness the real miracle?
