Most of them are giants of three or four meters in height, and one winged beast can carry two to three people.
"These children take three-day shifts to guard the upper floating islands, preventing the evil spirits from the deeper floating islands from invading the royal court's airspace," Minosk said with a serious expression. "However, most of them can't return home."
"What does evil mean?" Xing Mo asked.
"The standard scientific name for the Royal Court's airspace is Sorrow Ghosts, but we simply call them Evil Spirits," Minox said without reservation. "They are demons born from the cries of the sorrowful evil Omenimnos. They carry the flames of the Earth's core and ascend, attempting to reach the top of the Giant Stone Forest and sink the entire Royal Court into the Earth's core."
"Legend has it that as long as the king
If the court were to sink to the core of the Earth, Omenimnos, the evil spirit, would be able to draw enough power to rise from the core and bring disaster to the surface..."
As he said this, the expression on his face became more and more obvious.
"Everyone, do you truly have the courage to approach that cursed floating island? Perhaps the grandeur of the Royal Court's airspace has given you unrealistic illusions, but after walking through the Stone Nest, you should be able to understand... the true nature of this kingdom."
"What is the essence?" Xing Mo tilted her head.
"This country is still sinking," Minosk smiled. "The brief period of stability is merely superficial. Since the Age of Gods, the Stone Forest has never stopped sinking until the day it is swallowed by the Earth's core."
There was a hint of chill in Minosk's voice, but Xingmo wasn't particularly affected by it.
After all, after entering the royal court, she saw the curse lingering everywhere - in her perception, this city was not a beautiful paradise.
"Of course we have to go," Xing Mo waved her hand calmly, "Sir Minosk, are you going too?"
Minosk nodded:
"Of course, the ringing of the wind chimes indicates that a large number of evil spirits are rising from the Earth's core. I need to go and suppress them... As for you..."
He pointed to a huge gray winged beast:
"Even the outer reaches of the floating island are now considered a dangerous area. Once we pass through the floating clouds, we will face the evil ocean. You are Merlin's guests, and as members of the royal court, I cannot allow you to take unnecessary risks."
"So, if you want to go with me, you must first prove that you can endure the bumps on the road."
"How to prove it?" Xing Mo asked.
"It's simple: make the winged beast lower its head, then go up."
After Minosk finished speaking, he took two steps back.
Xing Mo turned her head to look at the gray winged beast: Unlike the winged beasts they had ridden in the royal court's airspace, the winged beast in front of her had bloodshot eyes and a grayish-white light flowing in its pupils - that was the extraordinary substance that had not been completely absorbed.
It looked extremely brutal, with its three huge snake heads moving restlessly, and from time to time it would tear off a piece of drooping vine and swallow it.
It just looks...very unfriendly.
"It's okay, we'll take care of it."
Aurora clapped her hands, smiled at everyone, and skipped towards the edge of the platform.
"It takes a steady pace to approach the winged beast! It hates sudden movements!" Minosk shouted.
"it's okay no problem."
Aurora ignored him and approached the winged beast with a smile on her face, maintaining a brisk pace.
The giants on the side turned their heads to look at this scene, and some of them sighed softly.
What a cute little girl, but it's a pity that she is about to be eaten by the winged beast.
As Aurora approached, the three heads of the winged beast suddenly stiffened, and its cloudy gray eyes widened.
The next second, a strong wind blew up, and the three snake heads of the winged beast stabbed Aurora from different directions—
"call--"
All this happened in an instant, no one could react, not even Xing Mo had time to play the strings.
The gray-scaled, snake-headed, griffon-winged beast is the apex predator of the royal court's airspace.
Just when all the giants thought Aurora was about to be swallowed, the girl stretched out her hand forward.
Then, three oversized heads lay under her palms, making a humming sound.
"Good boy."
Aurora gently stroked the winged beast's head, touching this one and then that one.
The gray-scaled beast squinted its eyes comfortably and obediently allowed Aurora to pet it, like some kind of... docile puppy?
This scene stunned all the giants on the side - including Minosk.
Xing Mo was not surprised at all - Aurora was the goddess of life in the academy city of Akademi, and she was very adept at dealing with small animals.
Hmm...big animals too?
"Is this okay?" Aurora turned around and gave Minosk a faint smile. "Does this kid agree to let us go up?"
""
Minosk watched this scene in surprise. He nodded when he heard Aurora's question.
"As expected of Merlin's guests. Well, if that's the case, I'll take you straight to hell."
After Minosk finished speaking, he jumped and landed on the back of a winged beast.
As soon as he pulled the reins, the winged beast screamed and flew off the platform, heading straight into the abyss below.
"Follow!"
Xing Mo and his group did not delay and climbed onto the platform on the winged beast's back in an orderly manner.
There were also several giants about two or three meters tall traveling with the group. Xing Mo had difficulty judging their ages, and could only guess from their excited attitude that this was their first time to the floating island.
"Let's go."
Aurora snapped her fingers, and the winged beast immediately understood what she meant, flying off the edge of the platform and into the abyss.
Unlike what Xing Mo had imagined, there was no strong feeling of weightlessness - the entire back platform seemed to be shrouded in some kind of gravity string magic. Even though the winged beast was tilted at an angle close to ninety degrees, she did not feel any discomfort.
"It was the cry of the winged beast that touched the gravity string..." Chloe opened her eyes, "This... child? He's taking good care of us."
"Miss Chloe can already distinguish the vibration of the strings?" Xing Mo smiled faintly.
"I'm a Five-String Saint after all," Chloe said a little embarrassedly, "Don't treat me like a non-combatant."
"Of course I didn't mean that."
Xing Mo Weiwei
He smiled, then raised his head and looked at the air outside the platform.
The vine forest quickly faded away, and the light once again covered the field of vision. Faintly, the outline of the boulder forest appeared again directly below.
Looking around, hundreds of gray winged beasts were diving downwards, their wings clasped together, and their three snake heads chanted three strings respectively: gravity, wind, and ice, which dyed their surroundings with a faint ice-blue light, like shooting stars.
The purpose of the gravity string is to protect the passengers on the back from being affected during a high-speed dive... The wind string is to speed up the falling process...
And the ice string... probably serves to resist the immense heat of the floating island area...
As Xing Mo was thinking, a two-meter-tall giant beside him suddenly spoke:
"Merlin's guests," he said, his voice halting. "Are you from the outside world?"
He spoke Giant language, but it still looked unfamiliar, perhaps due to his lack of education.
"Yes, we are from the ground world." Xingmo responded to him in standard giant language.
"Mom, Mom said that the sun on the surface world has gone out." The giant looked a little nervous. "Is it true?"
The sun went out... This probably refers to the fall of the Golden Sun at the end of the Age of Gods...
Thinking of this, Xing Mo shook his head and said:
"The sun is still in the sky, shining on the earth."
She thought for a moment and then asked again:
"In your opinion, which is better, the sun or the earth's core?"
"I don't know," the giant said, looking troubled and shaking his head. "I rarely see the core of the earth. I was born in a stone nest. There is no light above it."
There is no light.
""
Xingmo nodded and sighed softly.
She didn't know how to deal with the anticipation and excitement in the eyes of this child - she just assumed it was a child.
As they quickly approached the boulder forest, the giants on the backs of the winged beasts cheered and some even had tears in their eyes as they looked at the light from the earth's core coming towards them.
They had almost never seen the light, and this moment was the first time they faced the light.
The warm light from the Earth's core illuminated their bluish-gray skin, giving them the warmth of the sun for the first time in their lives.
"Minosk, Your Excellency, I'm not lying," the giant wiped his eyes gently, "The core of the earth is really warm."
"It sounds like you admire him very much." Xingmo said.
The giant nodded piously:
"Lord Minosk, the hero, killed the great evil and protected us all."
There was a light flashing in the giant's eyes, a light hotter than the sun.
Next, during the dive, the little giant told Xingmo the story of General Minosk in fragmented words.
About twenty years ago, there was a large-scale outburst of evil spirits. A large number of evil spirits surged out from the scorching heat of the earth's core and climbed up along the roots of the boulder forest.
Among them, a huge evil complex carried the cry of sorrow and evil, and almost instantly collapsed several lines of defense of the floating island.
It is said that on that occasion, even the Stone Nest could see the glow burning beneath the clouds.
At the critical moment, Wu Fu Minosk was ordered to lead three hundred extraordinary giants to dive to the floating island and start a decisive battle with the great evil.
As a result, the great evil was suppressed and the royal court was safe.
And the only one who returned was Minosk.
He returned covered in blood, dragging the corpse of the great evil spirit with chains, and landed directly at the door of the palace of Aloftes.
It was from that time that the royal court began to pay more attention to the allocation of resources in Stone Nest than before, and Minosk also gained a higher status in the palace.
The experience of slaying the great evil made Minosk a hero. His legend was passed on among the children of the Stone Nest, and countless children embarked on the path of guarding the floating island.
""
Facing the children's expectant gaze, Xingmo smiled faintly.
"It sounds like he's a very powerful giant," she said.
At this time, the sound of howling wind came from the side, and Minos was seen holding the reins of the winged beast, flying side by side with the winged beast where Xingmo was.
"We are approaching the cloud layer, Merlin's guests," he shouted over the wind. "Well, since you are so capable, survive this journey!"
The next second, the winged beast dived into the sea of clouds, and everything around it gradually became blurred, accompanied by the howling of the wind.
Gradually, the air became hotter and hotter. Even though the ice string shield chanted by the winged beast dissipated a lot of heat energy, the scorching wind was still extremely hot.
Continuous flashes of lightning gradually appeared in the clouds, accompanied by thunder, creating an isolating barrier.
At this moment, Xingmo felt a sudden surge of psychic reactions below.
"We will plunge into the evil sea!" Minosk shouted. "Children, you long for legends? Then follow me!"
In response to him, there were loud cheers from the giants!
Chapter 298: Crazy Abyss (Part 4) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
"call--"
The moment it passed through the floating clouds, a crimson light hit it in the face.
What came into view was an overwhelming red light. The scorching core of the earth was boiling at the end of the sight, and the heat waves on the surface were rolling in the agitation of the fire strings, like the sea in a storm.
Above the core of the earth, countless continuous and broken floating islands are suspended, like fish floating in the sea, rising and falling with the heat waves.
Before Xing Mo had time to see the situation on the floating island clearly, he saw the source of those strong spiritual reactions.
There were countless spiral monsters, their bodies made up of lava and broken granular objects, like a small tornado, with an unequal number of pupils hidden in the eye of the storm.
The spirals emitted shrill howling sounds as they flew, interweaving together to form a magnificent storm that rushed upwards from the core of the earth.
Its scientific name is the Omniom, and it is called "evil" by the Stone Nest Legion. It comes from the angel giant Omnimnos, the evil spirit who fell thousands of years ago.
Their fragmented bodies wove into a giant net, sweeping across the floating island like a rising wave!
