Arad's Sword

Chapter 260 Obtaining the Ice Soul Orb

From Midi rushing into the cloud beast's body to obtaining the starlight with ingenious, exquisite, sophisticated and vicious methods, the whole process only took about ten minutes.

In fact, at Midi's current level, it would have been impossible for him to last for 10 minutes if he wanted to resist the extremely cold environment in the cloud beast's body while constantly cutting out the sword light to attack, and still keep flying.At that time, even Midi, who is used to gritting his teeth and persevering, may have to leave immediately, otherwise he will be frozen into an ice sculpture and then pass directly through the body of the cloud beast and fall all the way down the sea of ​​clouds.

Because of this, the entire battle can be said to flow smoothly, without any lag or procrastination.

Originally, this was a battle that could not tolerate any hesitation.

However, for the helpless bystanders on the Narwhal, this short 10 minutes seemed like years.

Not to mention a professional like Victoria who is less than level 50, even a high-level awakener like the old butler Londe has no power to intervene in the battle with the cloud beast.

Leaving aside the psychological barriers, small human beings face the fear of giant beasts as large as mountains. Even if they calm down, they have no means of flying.

The appearance of the cloud beast caused a large amount of frozen air in the ice cloud circle to be brought out, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, to the point where the moisture in the air had already condensed directly.The entire floating island rock is now covered with hoarfrost, the steel cables and the surfaces and decks of the Narwhal are also covered with icicles, and even the most heavily protected engine room has begun to be infiltrated with air-conditioning. Even the air liquid circulating in the sky ring showed signs of freezing.

Not to mention those fragile vanguard boats, as soon as they get out of the Gnaku and come into contact with the biting cold wind outside, they may break down immediately, and they will fall down before they can fly.

In this case, the only thing Victoria and others can do is just watch.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone's hope for Midi's victory became more and more slim.

The temperature on the Narwhal several kilometers away was so low, if it was close to the cloud beast, wouldn't it be directly below zero?As for the temperature and situation in the cloud beast's body, it is far beyond everyone's imagination.

But one thing is certain, no matter who it is, even Midi who can dismantle the airship by himself, he will never be able to fight a war of attrition with such a behemoth.

Every extra second, the odds of winning will inevitably decrease by one point.

And now, more than ten minutes have passed, the battle may have already ended quietly before everyone knew it, right?
Just as the atmosphere of despair gradually permeated like this, the cloud beast in the distance suddenly let out another deafening roar. It was very rare that there was such a trace of anger and even a trace of fear in this roar!
And the next moment, this huge cloud beast began to struggle violently!
If a one-kilometer-long monster starts to struggle, it will inevitably bring about a terrifying scene like a catastrophe.Fortunately, this monster is nothing more than a condensed ice cloud, with extremely low density and weight. Therefore, the Narwhal several kilometers away was not affected.

Even so, the ice and snow storm brought about by the cloud beast's churning also caused a large piece of the outer wall of the ice cloud circle to collapse, and the cold wind and ice chips blown out directly hit the Narwhal, causing Multiple wounds to the hull.

However, as time went by, the range of the cloud beast's struggle became smaller and smaller. Not only that, even its appearance of the big lizard gradually became blurred, as if it was gradually blurred in the sun. Like a melting ice cube, the outline quickly crumbles until it turns into a cloud of ice again.

At this point, even people who know nothing about cloud beasts can guess that the battle may have just been won or lost.

"Win?" Victoria said to herself in a trembling voice.

"Maybe..." the old housekeeper Lund swallowed hard and said, it was the first time he answered his loyal lady in such an uncertain tone, and forgot to add an honorific title.

As for the crew members on the deck and in the cabin, they couldn't even shout the cheers of the rest of their lives, they could only stare blankly.

Whether it is common sense or rationality, they all tell them that it is absolutely impossible for a mortal to defeat a cloud beast as huge as a mountain.Therefore, even though the cloud beast gradually collapsed and returned to ice clouds, the aborigines in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky still did not dare to cheer, because they were afraid that once the hope of survival was born in their hearts, they would feel even more painful when it was shattered.

However, the next moment, when the golden-red sword glow rose, this worry finally dissipated.

Won.

Really won.

And in just 10 minutes, they defeated this huge beast!
In the howling cold wind, looking at the sword glow that pierced through the sky like bright red blood under the white sky, the crew members finally let out cheers like howling ghosts and wolves. The voice was intermittent and extremely hoarse. His throat had been frozen long ago, but even so, he could easily hear the undisguised joy in it.

No one doesn't want to live, it's a very simple thing.

"You're back!" Victoria rushed over as soon as Midi landed.

The eldest lady of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce can no longer care about etiquette at this moment. The only thing she wants to do is to take a good look at this real strong man who has brought miracles from this short distance.

"Ah, I'm back." Midi nodded, her expression still like an ancient well without waves, without the slightest fluctuation.

There were too many cloud beasts killed in the previous life. Although it was something to do later when the level was high, compared to today's challenge at level 52, the degree of danger is incomparable, but after all, it is really a matter for Midi. It's a very procedural job, so he really doesn't feel anything.

Everything has long been used to become natural.

But in Victoria's eyes, this kind of tranquility has added mystery and majesty.

"Master Blade, thank you very much for saving us. You were able to defeat the terrifying cloud beast by yourself. I think you will become the strongest warrior in the sky and sea of ​​clouds in the future!" Victoria finally calmed down and bowed deeply. bowed.

This time, she no longer called Midi "Sir", but "Master", which is a kind of respect, and it also means that Midi is recognized as a leader.

It would be a good choice if Victoria's forces were to be included in this way.

However, Midi is very clear about the actual combat power of the cloud beast, and he has also decided to bring the power of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce to explore the big storm area. At this moment, she is so admired, but Midi is not willing to take this opportunity to make too much publicity.

"Miss Victoria, I have to point out that you are exaggerating." Midi shook her head, "Once you understand the secret of cloud beasts, it is actually not difficult to kill them. The key is to find a way to dig out this thing That's all."

As Midi said, she raised her right hand, and a pearl shining with azure blue light appeared in her palm.

This pearl is extremely huge, the size of an adult's fist. Its body is dark blue, its cold light is restrained, and there is no trace of magic power leaking out. However, the fluctuations transmitted from it show that the magic power contained in it is extremely amazing.

This is the starlight, the specialty of Xingyang where the core of the big storm area is located, and the most important factor for the birth of the cloud beast.

And this star has been nourished by ice clouds for hundreds of years, and the consciousness of the cloud beast resides in it. At this moment, the consciousness of the cloud beast, which is like a soul, is still imprisoned in it, wandering back and forth with.

"Miss Victoria, this orb is called the Ice Soul Orb. It is a special product 'Starburst' in the innermost star ocean of the Great Storm Zone. It was formed after being moistened by ice clouds in the ice cloud circle and then living in the consciousness of cloud beasts. Please store it in a double-layer magic-sealed box, with a constant-temperature magic circle on the outside." Midi said lightly, and then added in a meaningful tone, "Since we are going to do business on the opposite side of the sea of ​​clouds this time. , might as well sell this orb together, I believe it should become the target of all major forces."

Victoria nodded silently without speaking.

She is not a reborn person, nor is she an alchemist, but when she saw this ice bead, she knew instinctively that there was absolutely no water in Midi's words.

Maybe, the value of this Ice Soul Bead may be even higher than my own shipment of refined sperm whale spices!

Not only that, but with Victoria's wisdom, she has naturally heard Midi's implication——

Cloud beasts may seem scary, but as long as you master the tricks, they are not difficult to kill.In fact, Midi killed the cloud beast within 10 minutes, which is already the best proof.But the ice soul orb in this cloud beast's body is priceless and worth the risk.

Not only that, if a cloud beast in the ice cloud circle has such value, then how much benefit will it get when it really reaches the star ocean inside the big storm area?

Looking at the Ice Soul Bead emitting a cold aura, Victoria immediately fell into deep thought.

After killing the cloud beast, the temperature gradually rose again. Everyone was busy repairing the narwhal. The remaining three hours were fleeting.Soon, the Narwhal set sail again and plunged into the black cloud circle.

After this soul-stirring battle, the current black cloud circle is nothing in the eyes of everyone, as the so-called courage is frightened.Along the way, there were no mistakes or accidents. Several days passed smoothly like this, and finally, the Narwhal returned to the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

The sun is back, and the white clouds are still there. Of course, these are not the frozen clouds in the ice cloud circle that make people feel icy cold at a glance, but the most common cumulonimbus clouds in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

After being depressed for more than a week, no matter who it is, they will feel better after returning from the darkness where you can't see your fingers to the blue sky.

However, this time, Victoria was a little preoccupied.
