Chapter 12 The Firelight of the Sky
The scenery is always the same, the air is always cold, the ice blocks that move forward, the journey on the sea has been going on for a long time, the dragons have become lazy from the excitement at the beginning, they are leaning on the rocky mountain on the back of the ark, looking at the sky Grey clouds, counting the occasional snowflakes...
The feeling of 'boring' slowly infected the jade dragon and the skeleton dragon. The journey at sea is always like this. When Lin came out, the head worm also felt very boring...
Although this is not the case for Lin, during the voyage of the ark, Lin is also devouring a huge amount of plankton. Lin has discovered many new species that have never been seen before. Just observing them is a piece of cake. Interesting thing... It's a pity that other creatures can't observe it.
"Gah..." Several emerald dragons lay on a rocky mountain. They looked at the clouds in the sky and started chatting at the same time: "How long have we been away?" "I don't know." "I don't know where to go either. Go." "There seems to be nothing to do now." "Gah, it would be nice if something interesting happened."
"Huh..." When the emerald dragons seemed to be very bored, there was a roar in the sky.
"Gah! What is that!" The emerald dragons lying on the rocky mountain hurriedly stood up, and saw a bright light suddenly appear in the sky more than 100 meters in front of the ark, and saw an object burning with raging flames passing through the clouds , rushed straight into the sea.
'boom! 'At the moment when it hit the sea, a loud noise echoed in the air at the same time, and waves of waves were stirred around. The emerald dragons were frightened and rolled down the hillside. Layer shouted: "We are under attack! Attack!"
"Attack?" Susumi immediately ran to the back of the ark after hearing this in the inner layer. It looked at the surrounding sea and said, "Where is the attack?"
"Gah! Just now. A big burning thing fell."
"A big burning thing?" Susumi wondered, "What is that?"
...what the hell is that? Is it a meteorite? Lynn noticed it early on. But the speed of this thing is not very fast, and it doesn't feel like a meteorite.
But there is no doubt that it is quite dangerous, and Lynne needs to find its source.
Thinking about it, Lin opened the rocky mountains on the backs of the three arks, and a large number of pilots appeared from them, flying rapidly towards the clouds in the sky, although Lin had used a class called 'Light Collectors' to collect sunlight on the clouds before. However, they have been recovered recently, so the pilots need to observe to know.
Moreover, Lin's pilots have comprehensive perception capabilities, so it is better for them to detect.
"Sure enough, what happened..." Susumi saw the large number of flyers, and she immediately shouted: "All dragons return to the lower level, we must..."
"Huh..." At this moment, another huge burning object appeared from the clouds, and this time, it appeared right above the ark where the emerald dragons were riding.
Its flaming flames illuminated almost the entire world, and with a strong whistling sound, it plummeted down toward the ark. The emerald dragon on the ark ran away in a hurry.
'boom--! ! ! ’ And just when this thing was hundreds of meters away from the ark, it suddenly made a loud noise. Then it turned into countless fragments, and in the next moment, these fragments also exploded at the same time, completely turning into endless smoke and dust.
I saw that on both sides of the ark, a large number of gun barrels with a length of more than ten meters protruded from the shell, aiming at the position where the 'meteorite' had just appeared in the sky.
"Gah..." The emerald dragons breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They didn't hesitate, but quickly hid in the lower layer of the ark.
Lin uses a double-crit method. Two bombs are fired at the same time, with one bomb shattering the target, while the second bomb releases a large number of small tracking bombs to shatter the debris scattered by the target. , in order to achieve a perfect defense, no creature will be harmed by the fragments.
At the same time, a large number of fliers had already flown into the cold clouds. Above the clouds, Lin saw a world full of bright sunshine. The light here was not blocked by the clouds, and it looked quite dazzling, but Lin didn't see anything. special object.
'call……'
At this time, there was another whistling sound from below, and I saw a large number of burning objects falling from the clouds, and they rushed towards the ark. And many more fell into the sea around the ark.
Seems like these things fell in the clouds? The pilots immediately flew into the clouds and used sound detection to search for creatures in the clouds.
At the same time, Lin let some of the pilots fly to the place where the burning objects fell, and soon found these things that were still smoking in the water. Lin found that the composition of this kind of thing seems to be something that is often seen in the mud in the sea. .
...there is!
The pilots found something that looked like a target in the clouds. This creature was quite huge, with a length of more than 30 meters. Its shape was very similar to an empty jellyfish. The pilots quickly flew to the creature. At its location, the creature seemed to feel something approaching, and it suddenly increased its speed and rose above the clouds.
When the flyer chased above the clouds, under the brilliant sunlight, Lin finally saw its true face.
This is indeed... an empty jellyfish, but to be precise, it is a subspecies of the empty jellyfish.
Its skin is gray, it has a chubby body like an empty jellyfish, and there are many thick tentacles under it.
Moreover, Lynn found that the 'jellyfish' was secreting some sticky stuff with the ends of its tentacles. It stirred the sticky stuff together, rolled it into a big ball, and then sprayed something on it with its tentacles. .
'call! ’ At this moment, the ball burst into flames, and then the jellyfish released its tentacles, and the burning ball fell directly into the clouds and smashed through the clouds towards the ark.
It turned out that the 'meteorite' was made by this kind of creature? Its purpose seems to be to prey, although Lin thinks that this method of predation consumes too much and has a low hit rate, but their target may not be the creatures on the back of the ark... but the entire ark itself.
Moreover, there is more than one such creature nearby.
At this time, the surrounding clouds were pushed away, and more of these 'empty jellyfish' flew out from the clouds. Lin found that they were a huge group. There were sixty of them, almost full of them. up the nearby sky.
And when they start to pinch the goo in their tentacles at the same time, a rain of burning things also falls from the sky.
But before that... 'Boom! ’
The bomb passed through the clouds at a faster speed, bursting with brilliant sparks in the sky. The jellyfish around seemed to be shocked by this, and the thoughts of fear spread quickly among them, and then all the jellyfish fled. .
Lin looked at the group of jellyfish flying into the distance. Lin felt that the swimmers might have been chased by jellyfish before. Their attack from above is only suitable for dealing with those huge creatures, but this kind of 'meteorite' has no effect on the ark. No threat.
Wait, what is that?
Lin saw a dazzling light suddenly appear in the sky. Among the jellyfish group, a jellyfish was directly concentrated by the light, and instantly let out a violent scream, and then fell from the air.
That's... a real meteorite!
"Goo!" The jellyfish group let out a scream, and all the jellyfish flew around immediately, but at this time there was more brilliance in the sky, and they fell straight down from the sky at an unparalleled speed. The meteorite broke through the clouds and crashed into the sea, and the roaring noise caused the surrounding sea to shake.
However, more roars sounded directly in the sky. All the arks aimed their muzzles at the sky, and countless explosive bombs were fired one after another, blocking any meteorites that might hit the arks.
Through calculation and observation with a special eye on the flyer, plus the current bombs are more perfect, Lin can hit meteorites that are much faster than the bombs, and those meteorites that are not hit all hit the On the sea around the ark, there was a loud roar, and some meteorites even hit the side of the ark, leaving a small pit in the ark's outer shell.
Although the Skeleton Dragon and Emerald Dragon in the inner layer did not know the situation, the strong loud noise also made them tremble.
This word seems inaccurate, because their courage does not tremble when they are afraid.
These meteorites are not very big, but there are a lot of them. Lin thinks that there is no need to stay on the sea surface. The ark is covered with transparent shell material, and absorbs a lot of water, and quickly dives into this piece of meteorite rain. sea area.
When the body of the ark was submerged by the sea, everything began to seem safe. Although the sound of explosions continued to ring in the sea, no meteorite could rush into the sea and maintain its power.
The ark did not stay, but quickly dived into the deep sea, stopped until the sea surface was almost invisible, and then continued to advance in the direction of the North Continent.
This meteorite... gave Lin a strange feeling, but she couldn't accurately judge what that feeling was.
After finding that the surroundings became stable, the skeleton dragon and the emerald dragon walked out of the ark. They found that the ark had entered the sea, and the sea area here was not as colorful as before.
Here, there is only darkness. Looking around, there is only a gray-blue sea, and only a few fish are wandering.
However, it's safe here. Lin plans to spend the rest of her journey in the sea, so that at least there will be more 'scenery' to see.
'Boom...' Just as Lin was thinking, there was a strange sound from the seabed in front... (To be continued...)
