Arad's Sword

Chapter 258 Cloud Beast
When Midi stated her purpose calmly, and the celestial people excitedly expressed their denial and whimsy, time was also passing by bit by bit.

Finally, the floating island located at the edge of the black cloud circle and the ice cloud circle is also within sight.

The sky suddenly brightened.

It was as if a hole had been torn open in the dark curtain, and the pale golden sunlight, like a waterfall flowing down, poured down from the gap, forming a gorgeous and dense light belt, countless lights like fireflies Particles float and fly in the air, illuminating the darkness like a fairyland.

Soon, as the Narwhal continued to move forward, the light became more and more intense, and the darkness became thinner and thinner. Like the thick ink melted by clear water, the darkness was drawn away one by one , finally dissolved in the light.

There was a loud sound of the air being pierced, and the 65-meter-long Narwhal shook, leaped high, and then fell heavily, like a small sampan on the waves.

In the next moment, everyone's field of vision instantly became bright and spacious, and the long-lost sense of emptiness and elevation in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky finally returned at this moment.

At the same time, unknowingly, a bone-piercing cold wind blew, making everyone shrank their necks involuntarily.

Then, a vast world of ice and snow, like an endless scroll, slowly unfolded in front of him.

Behind are layer upon layer of black clouds rolling like thunder, and in front is the raging ice and snow sweeping the sky ladder like a storm. At this moment, the Narwhal, like a tiny speck of dust, is at the intersection of these two worlds. Slowly moving forward through the cracks.

This is a wonderful scene that cannot be described in words.

Even Midi, who had seen the junction of the black and white double circles in the previous life, could not help but hold his breath at this moment, quietly looking up at the wonders constructed by the natural power between the heaven and the earth.

However, after being absent-minded for tens of seconds, the members on the Narwhal quickly returned to normal, and then steered the airship towards the intended destination.

Between these two worlds, there is also a floating island rock.

And the largest piece of this island rock is the resting place of the Narwhal this time.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the Narwhal has already left the black cloud circle, and even if the powerful black sea current appears, it will not blow into the gap between the two circles. Therefore, as long as the Narwhal chooses to be in the gap Hover, wait for the black sea current to stop before rushing into the black cloud circle.

However, the rules of the Spice Route over the years made Victoria, without thinking or making any changes, directly order the Narwhal to stop on the floating island rock, 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 circle is too cold, so 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 low temperature. In addition, she also arranged a scouting pioneer boat 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 in the past, and they must be carefully implemented every time they pass this inflection point, so the crew of the Narwhal are also extremely smooth.

However, Midi can feel that behind such a cautious approach, there is a deep fear and fear hidden.

"Are you worried about cloud beasts?" Midi glanced at Victoria and asked lightly.

Victoria nodded lightly, frowned involuntarily, and then replied: "Mr. Blade, you are indeed a person who wants to cross the big storm area. I didn't expect to know such extremely rare information. I am indeed in Worry about cloud beasts. In fact, the location of this inflection point is very close to the hunting grounds of cloud beasts in the ice cloud circle. If you are unlucky and meet cloud beasts to hunt, it will be more troublesome."

I wish there would be more Cloud Beasts.

Midi 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 City Lord of Light.It's just that this kind of magical life form is not artificially designed and manufactured, but formed spontaneously.

In the ice cloud circle, those white ice clouds full of dignified magical power will gradually attract each other and condense after hundreds of years. After the awn, it will take the astral as the core and begin to gradually form a magical network in the body.

This magic power network is like the blood vessels and nervous system in the human body, which undertakes the function of transporting magic power and conveying commands. When the magic power network is dense enough, self-awareness will be produced.

At this moment, the cloud beast was born.

It is the natural master of the ice cloud circle, it can call out ice, snow and hail at will, and its size is extremely large, and no matter how you attack, the dispersed clouds and mists will regroup, making it extremely difficult to destroy, so, for the Narwhal For an airship of this 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, snow and hail, and would not disintegrate in an extremely cold environment. Only then did adventurers have the capital to fight against cloud beasts .Even so, the way to eliminate the cloud beast was obtained after repeated trials and a lot of sacrifices.

Today, the natural technology of the Narwhal is insufficient, and it is impossible to sail into the ice cloud circle.

And 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 inner route. It is just a shortcut in the black cloud circle.

But at least, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce can already be said to be the force closest to the core of the big storm area, second only to the Blue Truth Sect in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

So, at least, Midi hoped to kill one or two cloud beasts, so as to break the deep-rooted concept of the residents of the sea of ​​clouds, and convince them that the big storm area is not as terrible as imagined.

I don't know whether it was Midi's inner prayer that helped, or Victoria's bad luck on this journey. When the Narwhal waited on the floating island rock for more than three hours, there was a sudden blow from the ice cloud circle. There was a gust of wind like a knife cutting.

Then, the surface of the ice storm collapsed like an avalanche, and a pair of huge white claws stretched out from the crack.

Then, there was a head as huge as a hill.

It is a real cloud beast.

The shape of this cloud beast is like a gigantic lizard, at least one kilometer long--for Yunwu, this is actually quite small--his head alone is as big as several narwhals.If the cloud beast opened its mouth wide, it would be able to swallow the Narwhal whole in one bite.

And around its huge mountain-like body, there are clouds and mist, wind and snow whistling, and patches of ice clouds follow, like guards following the master.

The cloud beast carries the cloud and wraps the fog, so the overall volume is naturally larger. From a distance, it seems to be at least a few kilometers in radius.

And when the cloud beast's eyes, which were also condensed with ice crystals, saw the Narwhal, it immediately let out a deafening roar, and the clouds around it were blown away. It all became empty, and there was an empty space in the ice cloud circle.

This earth-shattering roar scared almost everyone dumbfounded.

Although Victoria managed to maintain her composure, her face was as pale as a dead person.She maintained her last sanity, and with a trembling voice, she ordered her subordinates to untie all the steel cables immediately, so that the Narwhal could take off into the air and escape immediately.

Although the Black Sea Current is still raging now, it obviously doesn't care about so much. Instead of being swallowed by the cloud beast, it is better to return to the black cloud circle. Maybe there is a chance to get a chance to return to the spice route.

This is definitely the most reasonable order.

However, how can those crew members carry out the order at this moment?

After all, they are only employees of the Chamber of Commerce, not iron-blooded soldiers. Seeing this cloud beast with a head as huge as a hill, and hearing that deafening roar, I am afraid that even the guts will be frightened, and most of them can only stare blankly. Looking at all this in a daze, or hiding in the cabin to survive, how could it be possible to hear what Victoria was saying?
This is not infidelity, but an instinctive fear.

Only the old butler, Lund, remained calm, and his tall body took a step forward, blocking Victoria.However, this is also the limit of Lund. Apart from protecting the young lady's deep-rooted concept, the old housekeeper is helpless.

If there was anyone on the Narwhal who remained truly calm, it was only Midi.

"Wait here, don't act rashly, I will deal with that cloud beast." Midi dropped this sentence.

The next moment, as soon as his words fell, golden-red rays of light rolled up around him, flying into the sky like a shocking sword rainbow, and rushed straight to the huge cloud beast in the distance!
Just rushed over like this?
After a while, Victoria finally understood what Midi was doing.

Seeing the golden-red rays of light tearing away the clouds and the sky, rushing straight towards the colossus that was absolutely impossible to defeat in her mind without any scruples, the heart of this business genius woman was full of emotions for a while.

She felt that Midi was too arrogant. She was clearly a lower-world human being, but she thought she was great, and wanted to challenge the barrier that no one could break through the sea of ​​clouds for thousands of years.

At the same time, she was also worried about Midi and herself, because if Midi was killed like this, the Narwhal would surely end up in the same way, and everyone would be buried in the unparalleled gap between the ice cloud circle and the black cloud circle. Among them, no one will know, no one will look for them, and no one will care about them. Even the bones will not be saved even a little bit.

But in the deepest part of her subconscious, Victoria couldn't help but feel a kind of anticipation.

Looking forward to, Midi can defeat this invincible enemy.

It's not because of my own safety, nor because of the entanglement of interests, but just hope that there is such a person who can break the long-rooted shackles, and then open up a brand new path in front of me.

A true miracle, who wouldn't want to witness it?
