Chapter 198, scary bird
The vast sea is indeed dangerous, with strong winds and whitecaps blowing for eight out of ten days. Even when the weather is sunny and seemingly beautiful, the weather is often rough.
Qingshi and others were flying above the high clouds, watching the rolling clouds or rolling clouds under their feet, and the rough sea or occasional microwaves on the sea. Everyone was in a good mood, glad that they were at high altitude and did not have to fight against the wind and waves. .
The weather was fine and sunny that day. The white clouds on the ocean below were sparse and soft. The clouds were thicker in the far north, but there was no cloud in the sky in the south. The gentle undulations of the sea looked tender.
As usual, Qingshi stood on the lookout in front of the cabin, holding a telescope to observe the sea. This was already the thirty-fifth day since their departure. According to Qingshi's estimation, they should have flown nearly 20,000 miles eastward.
Every time the weather is fine, Qingshi will make some observations, look for islands, record wind direction and weather conditions, etc. The airflow at this high altitude is very stable, and the wind direction is mainly southwesterly, but the wind force is very small, so it does not have much impact on sailing eastward.
The weather at sea is often good or bad, and even in good weather, it is often very windy and choppy, making it difficult for navigation. As for the island, so far, there is still no discovery of bluestone.
Chen Tianye and Xiang An each sat on the driving device, pedaling the flywheel leisurely, while Duan Wutian climbed to the top of the air bag to do a safety inspection.
Chen Tianye looked at Qingshi and said, "Qingshi, why are you so interested in finding the island? Wouldn't it be great if we just flew directly across the sea to the next continent?"
Qingshi smiled slightly and said: "We are not just traveling here, we are looking for cultivation resources that are not available on the mainland and looking for opportunities to break through the laws of heaven and earth. This is the most important thing!"
"Do we have to search on the island?" Chen Tianye said, "How many opportunities can there be on the island?"
"I think there will be more rare treasures and greater opportunities under the sea, but can we go there?" Qingshi said, "Don't underestimate the island, what we gained on Longzhu Island is not small!"
This is true. Longzhu Island is just one of the small islands closest to the mainland, but the Hidden Dragon Spring was actually produced on the island, which gave birth to treasures such as dragon beads. You must know that these dragon beads are almost extinct on the mainland.
The treasures Ou Changzhi gave to Qingshi were piled up like a mountain, but there was not a single dragon ball among them. This shows how rare seafood treasures are on the mainland.
And a small Dragon Ball Island allowed Qingshi and the others to obtain a total of three hundred Dragon Balls. From this, we can imagine how rich the treasures are in the vast ocean.
"Well, that makes sense!" Chen Tianye said, "I'll give it a try!" After saying that, he stood up and took the bluestone telescope to watch.
Although Chen Tianye did not go to Longzhu Island, Duan Wutian had already boasted to him countless treasure hunting experiences. Duan Wutian did not take back the five dragon beads used for formation, and gave them directly to Chen Tianye. Unfortunately, Chen Tianye's skills were different from Duan Wutian's, and he could not use the dragon beads to practice as effectively as he did.
In fact, among the four of them, only Duan Wutian's technique can effectively utilize the dragon beads. Chen Tianye and Xiang An's practice with dragon beads is not as good as using high-grade spiritual stones, while Qingshi's use of earth vein spiritual liquid is more effective.
However, since Duan Wutian was able to obtain the Dragon Ball and thus greatly improve his cultivation, it is very promising to find a treasure suitable for other people to use.
Seeing Chen Tianye excitedly searching the island, Qingshi prepared to enter the egg house to continue studying his driving magic weapon. Suddenly, they heard a strange scream in their ears, and then a black shadow rushed towards them with a strong wind. The black shadow screamed and stopped on the port side. The three of them took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be a human-sized head. giant bird.
This bird is huge, with black feathers that look as hard as iron, a pair of thick claws as if made of bronze, a long neck, cute eyes, and a long sharp beak that are simply a sword, no, two Bundle.
Such a strange bird appeared in the sky above the vast ocean. The three of them were shocked and didn't know what to do for a while.
"I'm coming too!" With a loud shout, Duan Wutian pulled the black hemp rope and swung into the pod from the starboard side, but he immediately screamed, "What monster?...Bird!"
The bird was obviously frightened by Duan Wutian. It let out a strange cry, opened its two huge wings and flapped them a few times. The wings that had not been fully opened were two feet long.
The bird flapped its wings a few times and then calmed down. Then it tried to peck the side of the cabin a few times with its huge pointed beak. The side panel was made of Santuo wood. Although it was light but hard, the strange bird pecked a few times. No damage was caused. Qingshi and others were a little worried at first, but they were relieved to see this scene.
But as soon as the bird turned its head, it began to peck at the rope connecting the pod and the air bag. The rope, which was made of Miyun silk strips, was originally strong, but under the pricks of the sword-like giant beak, it began to break immediately.
This is great!
The four of them exclaimed together. Duan Wutian moved the fastest, raised his hand and punched the strange bird. There was a muffled bang, and the strange bird felt pain. It rolled out of the cabin with a scream, fell a few feet and then spread its wings and flew away. He drove away, but screamed as he flew.
Duan Wutian cursed: "What kind of birds are these?"
Xiang An felt very uneasy. He rushed to the port side and looked down. He was so frightened that he shouted: "Birds! There are so many birds..."
Several people lay down on the port side and looked down, and saw that at some point thousands of strange birds appeared on the lower left side of the north side of the airship. They should have been circling and flying, but at this time they were all screaming towards the airship. Flying hard, like a dark cloud.
Qingshi and the other four people didn't know this kind of strange bird, and they didn't know how they could fly to such a high altitude, but it was obvious that they could do it. Judging from the menacing look of the bird cloud, it was probably coming to attack the airship. In fact, there is no need to doubt this, because the bird that was knocked away by Duan Wutian has already circled back and flew back. It grabbed the air bag without hesitation and tore a hole more than a foot long.
"This is unreasonable!" Chen Tianye was furious. He waved his hand and saw a flying cone flying towards the strange bird. Almost at the same time as Chen Tianye took action, Duan Wutian had a nine-foot throwing spear in his hand, and with his right arm, he saw a flying cone flying towards the strange bird. Zhen projected it.
The strange bird flapped its wings and flew the flying cone away. However, it knocked away Chen Tianye's flying cone but did not avoid Duan Wutian's spear. The spear pierced the body of the strange bird and dragged it spinning down.
At this time, Qingshi had activated his wings of wind and thunder and flew to the place where the airbag ruptured. The gas spurted from the breach tore the hole even wider. Qingshi quickly grabbed the fabric around the hole and twisted it together, and took out another piece of black wood. Tie with twine.
After tying up the hole, Qingshi found that the airship was still falling and getting faster and faster. He quickly flew to the top of the airbag to take a look. Sure enough, he saw two strange birds tearing at the airbag. With each dive, The top of the air bag will be torn open by it, and Qingshi has already discovered seven or eight holes with a quick glance. Qingshi raised his hand and swung the wind blade, instantly shooting down a strange bird. While Qingshi shouted loudly for Duan and Chen to come up and mend the hole, he flew towards another strange bird that was far away. The strange bird was not fierce. Afraid of people, it circled around in a circle and lunged towards Qingshi with a strange cry. Qingshi didn't allow it to get close to it. A wind blade shot out from a distance. The invisible wind blade cut off the bird's neck, and it rolled and hit the airbag. Go up and then fall down.
Qingshi solved the two strange birds, and when he looked back, he saw that Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian had come up and were lying on the top of the airbag to tie up the holes. Qingshi quickly stepped forward to tie up another hole. As soon as Qingshi had fixed a hole, he saw a flock of black birds flying in one after another. As soon as these strange birds flew over, they screamed and attacked the three of Qingshi, forcing them to give up repairing the remaining two holes and strange birds. The birds started fighting. Although these strange birds were terrifying, they were vulnerable to the three of them. Duan Wutian kept piercing the strange birds with the spear in his hand, but Chen Tianye and Qingshi killed one of them with just a few swords. However, there were too many strange birds. Although they killed them quickly, an endless stream of strange birds came like locusts. Not all strange birds only attacked people, and some of them pecked out one on the air bag from time to time. A small hole or a large tear.
Qingshi cut off the neck of a strange bird with a sword, letting the blood spurt from its neck splash all over its head and face. At this time, Duan, Chenqing and the others had already killed hundreds of strange birds, and their bodies were covered in blood. It was spattered with bird blood, and the snow-white air sac had already been dyed red.
The airship had already opened hundreds of holes and was falling faster and faster. The airbag was already so soft that it could no longer support the weight of the three of them. Qingshi sighed helplessly and shouted: "Brother Qi, Amano, come back quickly." In the cabin.”
Qingshi flew back to the pod, and Duan and Chen also swung back with the black hemp rope, only to see Xiang An still fighting bloody battles while waving a big sword.
"Stop fighting," Qingshi said loudly, while throwing out a roll of ebony rope, "Lao Xiang, let Xiaopang take you back to the egg house. Seventh brother Amano quickly tied himself to the rope, and I will take you flying."
Duan and Chen quickly tied the rope around their waists and continued to block the attacking strange birds. While killing them, they loudly cursed these damn thieving birds.
Qingshi tied the rope connecting Duan Chen around his body, took out two Qi Rejuvenation Pills and threw them into his mouth.
"Are we going to abandon the airship?" Xiang An shouted unwillingly, "Should we let the little fat guy come out and eat up all these thieving birds?"
"Little Fatty can't deal with so many of them," Qingshi shouted, "You'd better go back quickly, I can fly easier with less people."
Xiang An knew that although Xiaopang was powerful, his explosive power was terrible, but his long-lasting combat power was very poor. It was impossible to kill all the tens of thousands of strange birds. Seeing that the airship was falling faster and faster, he had no choice but to contact Xiaopang. Xiaopang had long wanted to come out to fight, but Qingshi didn't allow it. He also knew that he couldn't deal with so many strange birds, so he had to follow Qingshi's instructions to take Xiang An into the egg house. Qingshi asked Xiaopang not to go out to fight because he wanted him to maintain his strength and welcome him. Possible crises after abandoning the ship.
"Are you ready?" Qingshi looked at Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye and said, "Let's go!" After that, he jumped out of the pod and launched his wind and thunder wings to fly towards the north.
