"Giant upwelling current, what is that?"
"That is a natural phenomenon that exists near the waters of Gaya Island. There are some huge caves under the sea near the waters of Gaya Island. Due to the geothermal heat of submarine volcanoes, the seawater flowing there will be heated and evaporated into water vapor, and then Being squeezed into those huge caves, whenever the gas in the huge caves is compressed to a critical point, it may form a huge upward current..."
Kuriket explains this natural phenomenon.
"This kind of upwelling current is very scary. If some people who don't know it pass through the upper sea surface during the outbreak of the upwelling current, they may be blown into the sky together with their boats."
"That's not quite right. Islands are not ships."
"So, what I'm talking about is a giant upwelling current, which is something far beyond ordinary upwelling currents. I just happened to know that there is a giant upwelling current in the sea near here that erupts every sixty years or so."
As he spoke, Curiket showed a look of sudden realization: "So it turns out that it is precisely because of the existence of this terrifying rising current that this island, which is obviously habitable, was abandoned, and those people on Gaya Island were not there. They settled here because they were afraid that the rising currents might divert the jet path and one day blast this island into the sky."
Recalling that when they first came here, some locals reminded themselves that this island was cursed. Now I think it was their ancestors who had witnessed the giant rising sea current destroying the island, so they had this kind of curse. The legend of the curse.
"In that case, the part of the island that disappeared should have been destroyed more than four hundred years ago.
As for the so-called Golden Township, the gold above it has probably been scattered over a wider area of the sea in that rising sea current? "
Wu Ke thought thoughtfully, finding a needle in a haystack is a bit difficult, but he can still find gold in a haystack.
I just don’t know how big this gold-making scope is.
If it is too big, Wu Ke would rather not fish it.
The reason is because in his current Fire Demon King form, when the power of consciousness spreads, the power of consciousness will carry the damage attribute of [burning spirit].
Although for humans, as long as it does not last long, the impact is not great, but for some weak beings, the spirit may be burned away, resulting in spiritual death.
Therefore, Wu Ke of Split Body No. 36 can basically use this kind of detection method of consciousness power as little as possible. He is afraid that if he uses it, he may accidentally cause a regional mass extinction of life.
Please note that the weak creatures here also include humans, because as long as the duration is long enough, humans will also be injured or even killed by this detection method.
To use a game point to describe it, this is a detection skill that damages friends and foes without distinguishing between them. Once activated, unless the mental recovery power exceeds its damage capacity, or it can be directly immune to this kind of mental-burning damage.
Otherwise, just by standing still, Wu Ke could kill a large number of beings that were close to him, standing within the detection range of his own consciousness power, and all beings that needed to rely on mental power to move.
"I once heard a legend!"
Kuriket suddenly spoke of something else.
"What legend?"
Wu Ke asked.
"In the sky above this sea area, there are islands that can float in the sky."
Kuriket said.
"An island floating in the sky?"
Wu Ke frowned. He wanted to keep the island or something floating in the sky. This was actually not a difficult thing to do. He only needed to place the thing on a suitable gravitational orbit on the planet at the foot of this world.
This is how man-made satellites float, but actually saying it floats is wrong. It should be said, but it just never falls to the ground.
"Yes, that is the legend of Sky Island. I always thought it was just a ridiculous story, but now it seems that part of Gaya Island may have been carried to Sky Island by giant rising currents."
Defend the island directly
Above the star orbit, how terrifying a natural force would be required to do this? Wu Ke raised his head and looked at the sky. Concerned about the existence of magical items like Devil Fruit in this world, he reserved his opinion, but also put forward Question [why it wasn’t shot up, then fell down, and finally scattered everywhere].
"Because I have searched, before coming to Gaya Island, I have inquired about the islands that exist in the surrounding seas, but in the end it was only here on Gaya Island that I found those gold antiques in the sea, wait a minute ..."
With that said, Curiket ran to the house to get the gold, pointing to the patterns on some gold to explain the situation.
"Look here, these are the words used by the Sandians, which mean blessings and ritual utensils. These things have never been found in the world. Only the gold objects I found here occasionally have these words engraved on them. If part of Gaya Island had been scattered all over the place, it would be impossible for these things to exist only here."
"So, is this why you think part of Gaya Island that was once washed up in the sky did not fall down, but ended up on what you call an empty island?"
"Other than that, there is no other explanation."
"Then can you prove the existence of Sky Island?"
As he spoke, Wu Ke also looked at the unobstructed night sky. Although there were dark clouds blocking some places and he could not confirm whether there was something behind, but at least where he could see it, he did not see any islands.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Are you going to heaven? I can take you directly up there, safely. "
Wu Ke flapped the bat wings behind him and said.
"Hey, are your wings not just for decoration, but real limbs that can fly?"
Curiket was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"certainly."
Although Wu Ke didn't really rely on the demon wings on his back to fly, it didn't stop him from agreeing.
"If you can take me to heaven, it doesn't matter if I give you all my gold."
Kuriket relaxed. His purpose was just to go to the sky to see if there was an empty island. If there was a safer way to go to the sky, who would want to ride on the dangerous rising current?
"Okay, um, I'm going to go up and have a look now, will you come with me?"
Wu Ke asked the other party.
"Is it too late now?"
Looking at the night above her head, Curiket couldn't help but ask.
"Anyway, we're just going up there for a walk. It won't waste much time."
Wu Ke said.
"good."
Curiket nodded.
"Do you have a strong rope? I need it to fix your body so that you can lift it up to the sky easily."
"I have the twine from the boat, that one is very strong."
Curiket quickly found a piece of hemp rope, made it into a noose, and tied it to his body.
"You'd better bring some clothes, the air in the sky is very cold."
Curiket was very obedient and went to find some animal skin clothes to put on herself.
After making these preparations, Wu Ke lifted the man up to the sky, not at a very fast speed, but rising at almost half the speed of sound.
The whistling wind was blowing in his ears, and Kulikat could only look down and see that Gaya Island under his feet was quickly being pulled away and getting smaller. In less than ten seconds, he was already competing with the ants.
"Hey, this is it?"
More than forty seconds later, when Wu Ke arrived at an altitude of seven thousand meters and passed through a thick cloud layer, he felt some changes in the surrounding air.
It feels like the air has been solidified. Although it has not been condensed into a specific entity, the density is obviously much higher than the air that just passed under the clouds.
However, such a phenomenon is unreasonable, and even the solidified air is somewhat unreasonable, but this unreasonable thing happened.
"Hey, friend, it seems possible that the empty island you mentioned actually exists."
Wu Ke said something downward.
"Yes...yes, that, that's great."
Curiket replied with some trembling. The rapid rise in temperature caused his face to be covered with a layer of frost, which was condensed from the sweat from the animal skin underneath.
Now it was not only the temperature that dropped, but also the oxygen in the air that became thinner. Apparently, he had some symptoms of altitude sickness.
However, I don’t know if it’s because people from this world have stronger physiques. Wu Ke stayed in the clouds for a while and rested for almost a minute. Kuriket adapted to his symptoms and even expressed some doubts. asked.
"Why don't you continue to rise? Are you unable to fly?"
"Obviously, it's not that I can't fly, I'm taking care of your situation."
"Thank you, but please don't worry about me and just keep flying."
Having said that, Wu Ke still slowed down his ascent. After reaching an altitude of almost nine thousand meters above the ground, Wu Ke saw some strange cloud creatures in the sea of clouds surrounding him.
"Is this a fish?"
"A flying fish commonly seen near Gaya Island, probably brought up by rising sea currents."
As the height continued to rise, a huge long snake swam over, seeming to regard them as prey, and opened its mouth to bite them.
However, Wu Ke flicked his teeth, and the huge figure flew backwards.
Go, a painful scream came from the sea of clouds.
.
.
"What happened? Why is the Lord of the Sky wailing?"
Above the sea of clouds, in the central temple of the Kingdom of Gods [Apayado], hearing the magnificent roar coming from the sea of clouds below, Gan Fule frowned a little. He is the [God] of the Angel Clan on the Sky Island, in charge of Sky Island is now the supreme power.
"Sir, we don't know that Nolan (Lord of the Sky) has always been free."
A priest answered.
"Go and investigate. The Sandia people are always coveting our holy land. Maybe they did something this time. We can be just in case. Apayado only belongs to our angel family, not them."
Looking at the half-kneeling priest in front of him, Gan Fule thought for a moment and then ordered.
.
.
"This snake is really big. It may be a Neptune species that was washed up."
Wu Ke didn't use much force. Although the head of the giant snake hundreds of meters away was thrown to the side by him, part of its body still remained in place.
"If you make it into skewers, it should be enough to feed tens of thousands of people."
I don’t know if I understood what he said, but the neighing sound of the Lord of the Sky suddenly stopped. The long snake body twisted and wanted to escape, but Wu Ke grabbed its tail in time and made it straighten. body.
"It is a good thing to be wise. We are here to find the Golden Land. Can you provide information?"
Wu Ke asked.
"Yes, I will let you go and forgive you for attacking us.
No, you just wanted to eat us, then I'm going to eat you too.
That's fair, isn't it? "
The Lord of the Sky twisted the snake's body, and after finding that he could not escape no matter how much he twisted, he turned back the huge snake's head.
"Hiss~"
The pain of having its teeth shattered prevented the giant snake, which was not low in intelligence, from opening its mouth to fight back at the creature that grabbed its tail. With a burst of neighing and regurgitation, it spat out some gold items with mucus.
"?!"
Curiket's eyes widened as he looked at the golden object floating in the sea of clouds. He suddenly became excited. He shook his body and broke free from the hemp rope tied to his body.
But he did not fall. The surrounding sea of high-density clouds, similar to sea water, allowed Kuriket to swim towards the gold objects that were spit out by the giant snake and floated in the sea of clouds.
"This is the same gold item as the ancient gold I discovered. The land of gold is really in the sky!"
After checking it out, he shook his arms excitedly and shouted to Wu Ke.
"Hiss~"
The Lord of the Sky neighed, looking pitifully at Wu Ke with his huge vertical sword, as if he wanted to exchange the gold for his own life.
"This gold is not enough, I want more gold, as much gold as a city. You should know where they are, right?"
"Hiss~"
"You know where it is, but there is a guy guarding it that you are also afraid of.
Hey, are there other intelligent life forms in this sky? "
"Hiss~"
"What, God, is here?!"
