"What's the problem?" Yaha finally stopped shouting, and her voice sounded a little buzzing from the helmet.
"You said before that you encountered moth beasts during your last whale hunt, and they were also hunting whales. Are they powerful?" Xia Ye asked loudly.
"It shouldn't be that powerful." Yaha said, "It's just that there was a large group of them and they happened to encounter a lone whale, so they were able to hunt it."
After hearing this, Xia Ye nodded: "That's true."
"What's so true?"
"I'll tell you when I get back. What height are you at now?" she asked again.
Yaha lowered his head, glanced at the whaling ship below which was getting smaller and smaller, and said, "It's estimated to be 1,500 meters. Are you sure you only need me to send you to a height of 2,000 meters?"
"That's enough. Too high is not good. Besides..." Xia Ye pointed to the top of his head, "Look, it's almost here. We don't have time to waste. You'll tell me when it exceeds two thousand meters."
"good."
Yaha responded and sped up his running speed again.
Even in the "Red Knight" state, the upward running angle cannot be completely vertical. Yaha was actually running along a zigzag route at an angle of about 30 degrees. In order to gain another 500 meters in height, she ran about a kilometer, which took 40 seconds.
"We're here!" Yaha shouted.
"Okay." Xia Ye nodded, already prepared to put his finger on the small of his back, and recited the witch syllables of "Feather of Thunder".
With a soft "chila" sound, a piece of red feather appeared on the fingertips. She quickly stretched out her fingers to crush the feathers, and a pair of red wings formed by lightning stretched out from her lower back.
"I'm ready to go." Xia Ye said with a chuckle, "Thank you for sending me here, my loyal Mr. Red Knight. Hehe~"
After saying that, the girl turned into a crimson thunder light, flashed upward several hundred meters, revealed her figure, paused for a moment, then turned into a ball of lightning again, and continued upward.
Just like that, she climbed straight up at a much faster speed than before. Even though the flying speed of the first-level "Thunder Feather" is far less than that of real thunder and lightning, it is still surprisingly fast.
After Xia Ye's previous tests, it was found that the unfolded "Thunder Feather" can fly approximately 1,500 meters per second, and its duration is 12 seconds. In other words, the Thunder Feather can fly up to 18 kilometers.
The altitude of the "ribbon" moth beast is 20 kilometers, which is why Xia Ye asked Yaha to take her to an altitude of 2,000 meters.
When Xia Ye ascended to an altitude of about 10 kilometers, the moth beast stopped moving. It had arrived directly above the whaling ship and began to slowly stretch its body into a straight state.
This is the prelude to the opening of the rift.
But Xia Ye didn't panic. Based on the experience she had just observed not long ago, she still had a little time, and in just a few seconds, she would be able to bring the moth beast within the range of Thunder Feather.
As long as this moth beast is killed, the rift will not open, and the terrifying existence that preys on the whales will not come in.
Xia Ye believes that "Thunder Feather" is enough to kill the "Ribbon" Moth Beast.
According to the narratives of Yaha and others, the moth beasts that invaded the airspace of the Ether Sea are not very powerful, at least a single individual is not very powerful.
Xia Ye believes that this rule still holds true today.
The reason is right in front of you - the truly powerful moth beast still cannot come in, or at least is unwilling to break in directly, so this "ribbon" above its head is needed to open a "door" for it.
The witches in this world rarely call the sky "sky", but habitually call it "sky", which seems to be very appropriate now. "Qiong" implies the meaning of "dome", which means that there is a visible or invisible barrier at the top of the sky.
And since the "ribbon" moth beast has entered the dome, it means that it is probably not that powerful. The whale couldn't kill it because it flew too high, but Xia Ye was already within a stone's throw of it. As long as she flew for a few more seconds, she would be able to get close to it face to face.
The altitude further climbed to 15 kilometers.
From this position, it was hard to see the end of the ribbon in front of him. It was like a straight track, traversing the sky above his head. But Xia Ye still couldn't see its thickness, and she couldn't see any other details, such as eyes, tentacles, claws or teeth... If she hadn't seen it snaking like a snake in the sky not long ago, she would have It's hard to believe it's a living thing.
The altitude reached 18 kilometers.
The time that "Thunder Feather" can maintain is only the last two seconds, and there are only the last two kilometers left from the "Ribbon" moth beast.
Even though Xia Ye was approaching so blatantly, the other party still showed no reaction, as if the whole meaning of its existence was just to open a crack in the sky.
Height 19 kilometers.
Deducting the 110-meter range of the "Thunder Feather", Xia Ye only needs to ascend another 890 meters to enter the launch position. She has even thought of the lines she will shout later.
Because the distance is so close, the field of view is almost completely occupied by the body of the moth beast. At this time, the "ribbon" looks like a wide and infinitely long glass runway. This even gave her the illusion that she was not ascending, but landing towards this runway.
However, at this moment, a thin gap appeared on the central axis of the "runway".
The cracks finally began to open.
Although she had felt that the crack was opening very slowly when watching it from the whaler, now that she was closer, she realized that the crack was expanding so quickly. What started out as a barely visible crack turned into an abyss large enough to swallow a person whole in the blink of an eye.
——At this moment, a dangerous intuition flashed in Xia Ye's heart.
Without any time to think, she turned into lightning and made an almost right-angle change of direction. The next moment, a tentacle brushed against her body and stabbed her.
Haha, I thought the other party wouldn't be anxious...
The danger passed by. Not only was Xia Ye not afraid, she actually sneered in her heart. If the enemy remained indifferent to her, she would have to doubt whether she could pose a threat to the opponent.
Now it seems that it is not that the enemy is not in a hurry, but that the "ribbon" responsible for opening the door is simply an idiot. The real worry is behind the rift.
Taking advantage of the failure of the tentacle attack, Xia Ye climbed several hundred meters higher and finally brought the target within the attack range of "Thunder Feather".
There was less than 0.5 seconds left before the end of "Thunder Feather". She hovered under the ever-expanding crack, waiting for the tentacle to stab again, then she moved quickly and dodged it calmly as she was well prepared.
Then, he locked the target with his mind, and shouted arrogantly at the unknown enemy behind the rift:
"Thunder-wings-spread-open-!!"
With her words, the maintenance time of the wings finally ended. It turned into 99 bright red lightnings, blooming from behind Xia Ye, crossing arcs, and pounced on the fragile "ribbon" that kept the rift open. .
