Chapter 10 Chapter Seven: The Sea of Cloud Beasts
The night was getting dark, but Princess Yima, who was supposed to leave, did not leave, and said some irrelevant words to me.Seeing her expression seemed a little anxious, she probably wanted to ask me something, but she was embarrassed or didn't know what to say.
It seems that if I want to sleep well, I have to take the initiative to ask, so I said: "Princess, if you have anything to do, just tell me. If I can help, I will not refuse."
Princess Yima blushed, showing embarrassment and said: "There is one thing, tomorrow, the father may summon you."
I said: "It's nothing, if I'm summoned, I'll go."
Princess Yima lowered her head slightly, and said falteringly: "Father is actually very kind-hearted. He was very wise when he was young, but now he is getting older, and sometimes he will be a little confused. If there is any strange behavior tomorrow , Lord Holy Envoy, you...you..."
I asked curiously, "Strange behavior? For example?"
Princess Yima lowered her head, and her long black hair slid down like a waterfall. She said in a low voice, "Hmm...my father may...may have some doubts about your status as a holy envoy..."
"Ha." I had the urge to laugh and cry, the father and daughter were really... one insisted that I was a holy envoy, and the other suspected that the human being who helped them was a counterfeit.
Princess Yima raised her head with frightened eyes, as if she was afraid that I would be unhappy, she flicked her sleeves and left.
"That's not the case. In fact, the father believes it. It's just that woman, the woman whom the father favors the most. She insists that you are a counterfeit, so the father wants to test whether you are the real envoy."
"Oh, how is he going to test it? I don't have any tokens from the envoy." Seeing her anxious look on the verge of crying, I couldn't bear to criticize her, and I didn't expect this strong character when facing the monitor lizard. The wise commander unexpectedly has a weak side.
Princess Yima bit her lips and said: "Generally, the holy envoys don't have any tokens, and no one dares to pretend to be a temple. I guess that woman will definitely send some powerful black dwarf fighters to fight with you." .”
"Who is that woman?"
"Klematis was promoted to princess by her father a year ago. Relying on her father's favor, she acted recklessly in the country. Many ministers were dissatisfied with her, but behind her was the entire Lanning family. This is a huge The family is deeply rooted in the country, and even the father will not touch them easily. The most dangerous thing is that this woman is ambitious, and there are various signs that the Lanning family seems to support the evil woman Clematis to usurp the kingship .” Princess Yima looked resentful.
I said: "Why don't you tell your father the king to be careful?" In the era of slavery, the king's power is the greatest authority.
Princess Yima sighed and said, "This woman is very good at pleasing my father. I have advised my father several times, but he reprimanded me severely. He firmly does not believe that Clematis will usurp the kingship."
"So, who was the original crown going to?" I asked.
Princess Yima said: "Father intends to pass on the throne to me. Clematis has always regarded me as a thorn in his side, so he sent me to exterminate the giant lizard with the help of his father, but he did not send me more Human hands. If you hadn't appeared, I might have died. I even suspect that the sudden appearance of the giant lizard is also related to her, although I have no evidence."
I said: "It seems that I have been involved in a court struggle."
Princess Yima's eyes were filled with pleading, and she said earnestly: "My lord, please help me. My people need you. If that woman is allowed to sit on the throne of the water blue country, this country will be in darkness."
I looked at her, and Princess Yima, who had just grown up, still had a bit of youthfulness in her brows. One can imagine the great pressure on her to take on the heavy responsibility of the country at such a young age.But on the other hand, I remembered what Tatarut had warned me, that members of the Guardian Alliance cannot easily interfere with the civilization of the indigenous people and the change of kingship.
I pondered for a while and said, "I will be there for the summons tomorrow, but I can't give you much help, nor will I help you fight for the kingship. I can't violate this point, you have to remember."
Princess Yima said pleasantly: "Thank you, my lord, as long as you are willing to accept the summons, it will be the greatest help to me. My people and I will never forget you. I will not disturb my lord to rest."
Princess Yima performed court etiquette and left under the escort of several maids and guards.
I shook my head, I didn't expect to be involved in court disturbances after a chance encounter.I haven't met Princess Clematis, so I don't want to jump to conclusions.According to Princess Yima, I can also be regarded as the holy envoy of the Temple of the Earth. If they have any doubts about my identity tomorrow, just make this point clear to them. As for the others, I can't help Yima too much. Princess Ma.
My eyes fell on the copper box that Princess Yima gave me, and I opened it casually. Inside was a piece of blue crystal, which had obviously been carefully polished and carved. The overall shape was in the shape of a mountain. There were palaces, birds, beasts and people on the mountain. It's perfect.This piece of art may be priceless, but to me, it is just a plaything for viewing.
I reached out to take it out, but as soon as my hand touched the blue crystal, I felt a mysterious feeling in my heart, and my brain immediately fainted.When I woke up, I was already in a vast sea of clouds.
The vast sea of clouds has no end. Looking into the distance, the clouds are rolling and surging like waves.I was on top of the pure white clouds, and there were white clouds floating like hills high in the sky. The surroundings were silent, and occasionally I could see a ray of breeze passing by, driving the clouds to drift.
I looked at this strange world of clouds, and I sent an instruction to Xiaohu in my mind: "Xiaohu, can you confirm where I am now?"
"Master, you are still standing in the same place as the Green Vine Pavilion and have not moved."
I immediately realized that my consciousness might have been sucked into the blue crystal that Princess Imma gave me for some reason I don't know.I stood still in the slowly undulating sea of clouds, I frowned in thought, could it be that Princess Yima wanted to harm me?
I immediately overturned this guess. Princess Yima is a girl who still has a pure heart, not to mention that she still needs me, so she should not harm me.The biggest possibility is that Princess Yima didn't know the magic of this blue crystal at all, and she just gave it to me as a precious work of art.
After figuring this out, I feel completely relaxed. Looking far away, clouds of different sizes and shapes are floating in the sky, which is really beautiful.I wandered in the clouds, admiring the rare beauty, feeling relaxed, and walked a long way without knowing it.
After passing through the clouds like jagged rocks, it suddenly became clear to the eyes. In the middle of the empty sea of clouds, stood a cloud tower.The huge cloud tower is hundreds of meters high, and the base is thousands of square meters. I don't know how many steps there are, extending from the base to the top.The clouds around the base are rolling like a fountain, and there is a cloud of blue light shining faintly on the top of the cloud tower.
My curiosity arose, and I stomped my body into the air, and the dark energy of the wind system moved in response to my thoughts, and a cloud of air flow wrapped me up, and flew over the steps to the top of the cloud tower.Immediately, a strange force arose from the cloud tower, which eliminated the air current that enveloped me out of thin air, and pulled me back to the steps.
I was startled, I looked at myself, but I didn’t suffer any harm, and then stimulated the various energies in my body, they were still functioning normally, but when I released the energy, it would be offset by a force that I had never felt before .
I felt inexplicably strange in my heart, but it added to my psychology of going to the top of the cloud tower to find out.I stepped up the steps. Since I can't use energy, I can only rely on my own physical strength to climb up.
Because of the open space and unobstructed line of sight, the top of the tower seems to be not far in front, but I don't know how long I walked and I still couldn't reach the top of the tower. I doubt that this tower has no end.
When I passed the 6,000 steps, the situation suddenly changed, and some clouds suddenly rushed over the originally empty space.The cloud squirmed violently, changing its shape constantly, and in just two or three seconds, it turned into a beast like a leopard, roaring silently and rushing towards me.
Surprised, I turned sideways, and the leopard stood on the steps, flicked its tail, changed its direction, and rushed towards me again.Facing its head, I punched it.Although I didn't use dark energy, my skin, which has been washed by dark energy for a long time, is extremely hard. Even a piece of bluestone will be smashed to pieces under my punch.
The leopard condensed from the clouds broke with his fist, and with a "pop", it turned into a few small clouds and floated away from the steps.
I stepped up, and a huge bird of prey turned into clouds quickly swooped down from above.I punched sideways, and with the same "poof", the raptor also turned into a few small clouds and floated away.
For a moment, all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts transformed into clouds swarmed towards me, almost killing one or two cloud beasts for every step up.The cloud beasts are so strange that they are no longer limited to ordinary birds and beasts, and even various marine creatures and insects such as the octopus under the sea appear.
Amidst the sound of "humming" air vibrations, thousands of cloud bees the size of thumbs poured over the sky and covered the sky.
Faced with all kinds of cloud beasts that are getting more and more weird and powerful, I can't deal with them with bare hands, and the dark energy in my body is restrained by mysterious forces, so I have to take out the "Fish Sealing Sword" to meet the enemy.With a flick of the wrist, a cloud of sword light burst out, like blooming flowers, blooming layer by layer, covering the entire cloud bee.
The sword light dissipated, leaving only a large piece of cotton-like debris floating slowly.
The more you go up, the more ferocious the cloud beasts you encounter, and the wisdom of these cloud beasts seems to be getting higher and higher, knowing how to dodge and detour instead of just rushing up stupidly.
After killing hundreds of cloud beasts of various sizes and shapes formed from clouds, I finally found something unusual. There is always a thick or thin band of light in their bodies, some of which are a single color, and some The light bands are colorful.
This ray of light should be the core of the cloud beast. Once it is broken by the "Fish Sealing Sword", it will return to its original state and become a lifeless cloud again. Some of the broken light belts that have not yet dispersed will be destroyed by others The cloud beast snatched and devoured it.
While defeating the cloud beast rushing over with my sword, I climbed up steadily.Fighting non-stop consumes a lot of physical strength. Fortunately, the power of XingXiu can withstand the limitations of the cloud tower to a certain extent, and can exert two points of power, which allows me to resist the increasingly fierce cloud beasts.
After climbing another 3,500 steps, after killing the last few small but extremely fierce and cunning cloud beasts, I suddenly felt the pressure on my whole body lighten up. When I looked up, there was not even a single cloud beast in front of me. up.
The top of the cloud tower is in sight, and you only need to climb the hundreds of steps in front to reach the top of the tower. A group of blue flames is constantly releasing soft light from the highest point.
I took a deep breath and rested for another two minutes to relieve the fatigue in my body.Looking at the cyan flame on the top of the tower, I think it is probably the biggest secret in this blue crystal sculpture.
When I felt my physical strength recovered and I was about to continue to climb up, a tiger-like cloud beast suddenly jumped up from the sea of clouds below, ready to pounce on me on the cloud tower.
At this time, I suddenly felt a great coercion, a huge guy suddenly appeared in the vast sea of clouds, like a killer whale swimming in the sea, with a big mouth, it swallowed the tiger cloud beast into the stomach.
After the killer whale swallowed the reckless cloud beast, it swam around the cloud tower. Its huge eyes showed the light of wisdom, staring at me, as if considering whether to attack me.
I stared at it warily, holding the "Fish Sealing Sword" in my hand, pouring the power of the stars into it continuously, spit out a section of cold sword light that stretched and stretched endlessly.The huge cloud beast stared at the "Fengyu Sword" in my hand, with a look of fear in its eyes.
After hovering around me reluctantly for a while, it finally left with a flick of its tail.
After watching it disappear into the sea of clouds, I started on the road again and continued to climb up.There are a total of 9,999 steps from the bottom to the top of the cloud tower. When I stood on the 9,990th step, a fierce force was suddenly released from behind me. The cunning giant cloud beast went back and forth, sneaked up behind me, and swallowed me in one gulp.
Caught off guard, I was swallowed into the belly of the cloud beast, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, and the cloud entangled me like tentacles, as if it wanted to wrap me into a cocoon.
I also didn't care about saving the power of XingXiu, so I shook the "Fish Sealing Sword", and the indestructible sword light flickered, completely twisting away the surrounding clouds, revealing a large blank space.Taking this opportunity, I saw a bright band of light floating in the cloud, where is the core of the cloud beast.
Immediately, I no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the light belt with my sword.
The big guy who devoured me also seemed to be aware of the crisis. The cloud in my body rushed towards me like a turbulent sea wave. The dense cloud was thick and heavy, suppressing my sword light every inch of it, forcing me to use more strength to fight against it. Keep the sword light to protect yourself.Endless clouds surged in from all directions, not only making it difficult for me to move, but also hiding the core of the cloud beast again.
Every minute I stay in the belly of the cloud beast is more dangerous. I decided not to keep it, and the power of the stars poured into the "Fish Sealing Sword", and the sword's light rose instantly.
I shouted in a low voice: "Breaking Wind Slash!" The "Fengyu Sword" trembled violently, a moon-white sword rainbow spewed out, and the sword rainbow swayed gently, like a fish swimming in the water. form a unified whole.
The sword light just flashed, and it already drove me towards the direction where the cloud beast's core disappeared.My body vibrates hundreds of times every second, and each vibration is Jianguang's self-detonation, which produces a stronger driving force and destructive force.If I don't have a strong body, I'm afraid I will be shaken apart first.
Jianhong created a channel in the cloud, and the cloud beast roared angrily, and invisible sound waves echoed in its stomach.In the blink of an eye the passage behind me was filled with more clouds.
Ahead, bands of colored light loomed in the clouds.But beside the light belt, there are clouds that are constantly merging, devouring, and changing shapes, as if they are about to condense into a powerful cloud beast.
I tightened the "Fish Sealing Sword" in my hand, and shouted coldly: "The full moon breaks through the sky!" Fighting in the belly of the killer whale has too many variables, so I'd better chop off its core first.
A "full moon breaks through the sky" is used, and the "Fengyu Sword" turns into an invincible sword rainbow, hitting the cloud beast's core with a fierceness that sweeps everything and penetrates everything.
The cloud beast next to the light belt had just condensed into shape, and the sword rainbow had already hit the colored light belt. The newly formed cloud beast let out a silent and shrill howl, but its body gradually collapsed under the light of the broken light belt.
The belly of the killer whale vibrated violently, as if the entire world had experienced a terrifying magnitude 10 earthquake, and the world was collapsing.
In order to ensure that everything is safe, the "Fengyu Sword" took advantage of the situation and twisted the broken colored light strips into pieces.Then I urged Jianguang, and the human and sword merged into one, and rushed out of the belly of the killer whale.
When I landed on the cloud tower, the huge cloud beast in the shape of a killer whale had turned into a huge cloud mountain again, and it was drifting outwards.
After killing this huge cloud beast, there is no obstacle in the future, and I climbed to the top of the cloud tower unimpeded all the way.
The light source emitting soft cyan light floats in mid-air, like a group of weak flames, but it releases light firmly all the time.Looking carefully, there seem to be many mysterious patterns on the surface of the flame, which is fascinating.
I walk towards the light source.When I walked halfway, a sense of crisis stopped me.I looked at the group of flames that looked very weak in doubt. Where did the sense of crisis come from?
The surroundings are quiet, there are no cloud beasts, no wind... wind?
I suddenly realized that there was a sudden gust of wind around me, and the air flow was flowing slowly.
I put a foot out, and the breeze, like a threatened swarm of bees, stirred violently, wildly, but in a circle around the flames.
I walked in, and the wind in the inner layer became stronger and stronger. Gradually, the air flow was like slices of thin sharp blades "swirling" in the air.
When it was closest to the flames, the cyan wind blades were already comparable to alloy blades, and each wind blade could easily cut through fine steel and crush rocks.I had no choice but to hold the "Fish Sealing Sword" in my hand, arousing the light of the sword to protect myself.
This posture is already like a small "Wind Blade Torrent", which is the innate ability produced by Falconer and Little Dog Wolf at a certain meeting point, and it is extremely powerful.
The cyan wind blade "jingling" hit the sword light like a storm. The light of the sword was uncertain, and it seemed that it might shatter at any time.
I didn't hesitate anymore, and grabbed the flame in my hand, and the wind blades around me disappeared immediately, and turned into a breeze blowing on my face again, flowing gently.
When holding the flame in my hand, I had silently channeled dark energy to protect my palm, but soon I discovered that this energy flame that looked like a flame had no heat.Suddenly, the wind-type dark energy core in my body trembled violently, as if a shark smelled blood, a gust of wind-type dark energy spontaneously emerged from my body, enveloping the flames.
The flame that had been lying peacefully in the palm of my hand also flickered suddenly, and layers of mysterious patterns appeared, protecting the flame as solid as gold.
I have a feeling that the dark energy core of the wind system with the incomplete law of destruction in my body is like a vicious dog who hasn’t eaten for a few days, suddenly saw a steaming meat bun exuding a tangy aroma, and couldn’t wait to eat it. He wanted to swallow it in one gulp, and that tempting meat bun was the flame in front of him.
With the previous experience of the dark energy core of the wind element absorbing the energy of the wind element in this world to supplement my own laws, I suddenly felt a move in my heart. Could it be the same situation now?
The golden-red pattern is looming, but it can be seen that it is layered on top of each other, like pieces of lotus petals wrapping the stamens in it.The golden-red pattern flickered from time to time, effectively resisting the engulfment of the dark energy core of the wind system in my body.
The wind-type dark energy core continuously releases cyan wind-type dark energy, trying to weaken the golden-red pattern, but the effect is not great.
Xiaohu suddenly said at this time: "Master, the core of the wind-type dark energy is running too slowly. I can increase its speed and break through the defense of the wind-type energy group in front of me."
really!The flame in front of me is extremely pure wind energy, and it is very likely to have a certain law of wind energy, so the wind dark energy core in my body can't wait to swallow it.
I immediately said: "Join the calculation, and all resources will be used to increase the speed of the dark energy core of the wind system."
A large amount of dark energy in the body was consumed rapidly, and the scene in front of him seemed to slow down suddenly, and a gap appeared between the golden and red patterns that were originally rotating as fast as lightning.The core of the wind-type dark energy releases a large amount of wind-type dark energy. These wind-type dark energy are like ants one percent the size of a grain of rice, swarming away and eating the golden-red patterns.
