Chapter 165 The First Person to Set foot on the Sky Kingdom
After arranging things in the Druid Forest, Rhodes set off with Alpha and Kaba.
This time was different from the last time. With the presence of Alpha, the sixth-level warrior, Rhodes chose to take the air route and flew around the central area of the Giant Forest.
"See? That largest plant is the sky tree I mentioned. Your people are probably on it."
During the flight, Rhodes pointed to the giant vine in the distance that connected the sky and the earth and said.
The last time, I met the dwarf man Manta near that vine, and learned the news about the Kingdom of the Sky from him.
If he guessed correctly, the so-called Kingdom of the Sky was most likely the habitat of the surviving dragons.
This makes sense why no one has been able to go up there in all these years.
After all, not every race has the flying ability of the dragon clan and can fly so high.
Either because of the existence of high-level black beasts, no one can come back alive, so they must first go to the dwarf tribe to inquire about the situation.
"Is that there?"
In its original form, Alpha raised its dragon head and looked into the distance with deep eyes.
Even with his sixth-level perception, he could only sense a mist in the sky, nothing else.
"Then let's go to the Dwarf Tribe first and sit tight!"
After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and flew through the sky above the Giant Forest.
The huge noise instantly awakened the black beasts along the way, and a large black group of them climbed up the vines and chased them.
There were even mountain giants who lifted huge rocks and threw them into the sky, just like human-shaped self-propelled catapults. Kaba was so scared that he quickly sped up to catch up.
The exaggerated scene made Rhodes secretly gasp in amazement.
Fortunately, he did not fly around when he first came in, otherwise he would have been poked into a hornet's nest by these black beasts. Fortunately, Kaba had a strong flying talent and was able to keep up.
soon.
They passed through the center and came to the other end of the Giant Forest.
As the surrounding vines gradually dissipated and the view became wider, Rhodes finally saw the scenery outside the forest, a vast wetland filled with miasma.
Yes.
Compared with the black soil plains on the other side of the Druid Forest, the environment here is much worse.
Almost at every distance, there would be a large area of miasma of different colors. It looked like spores sprayed from some kind of plant, or like poisonous gas formed by a large number of corpses rotting in the wetlands. It looked very creepy.
The plants here are mainly mushroom spores. Rhodes even saw several mushrooms that grew to dozens of meters high, but they had been completely contaminated by the black soil.
"Alpha, have you been here before?" Rhodes asked with his head down.
"No, there are too many bugs here, and the smell is terrible. My tribesmen and I don't like to come here." Alpha answered while looking for any trace of living creatures.
In his eyes, aren't the palm-sized dwarfs just like bugs?
No wonder he had never heard of the dwarf people.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, Alpha's eyes fixed and looked into the distance.
In a basin filled with white miasma, giant plants like dandelions swayed in the wind, and underneath roamed a large group of black spore beasts covered with pustules and mushroom monsters.
This was not what surprised him the most.
What attracted his attention were the black spore beasts, which were now continuously converging towards the center of the basin, forming a dense mass.
Faintly, a burst of hurried calls could be heard.
"Go to hell! You damn monsters!"
"Hold on, we'll be out soon!"
"Run! There are more monsters coming!"
Is there anyone alive?
Rhodes and Alpha's eyes lit up when they heard the noise, and they suddenly accelerated and flew towards the source of the sound.
As the distance got closer, they finally saw the scene in the basin clearly.
Dense spore black beasts gathered from all directions, surrounded several mysterious figures, and continuously sprayed spores into the air.
It was the dwarf people that Rhodes had seen before!
"They are indeed nearby, go and rescue them."
Before Rhodes could say anything, Alpha had already flown down.
As soon as it opened its mouth, raging flames suddenly spurted toward the ground, burning all the spore black beasts along the way to death.
This huge movement also attracted the attention of several dwarf humans who were being besieged by spores.
however.
What responded to them was not excited shouts, but cries of surprise.
"Stop! Stop now! Don't light the engine!"
Unfortunately.
Their cries were too late.
The moment Alpha's flame touched the spores, the entire basin was suddenly engulfed in flames, spreading in all directions like wildfire.
boom!
A terrifying heat wave exploded, creating ripples visible to the naked eye throughout the entire wetland area, pushing the surrounding miasma hundreds of meters away.
next second.
The quagmire in several surrounding basins began to boil.
"Ow—"
Deafening roars rang out.
From the originally calm quagmire, huge mud monsters actually crawled out, and a thicker miasma spread from their bodies.
"Ahhhh!! Look at what you have done!"
When the dwarfs who were blown to pieces saw this scene, they immediately started cursing at Rhodes and the others in the air, all of them looking crazy.
But even so, they still shouted: "Run! Don't just stand there, these mud monsters are very powerful and can't be killed by fire!"
After saying that, he ran out of the basin without looking back, as if he was very afraid of the slime monster.
Rhodes didn't expect that just spitting fire would trigger so many chain reactions. He took a look at the information of those mud monsters.
[Toxic Mud lv44]
【Rotten Mud lv42】
[Smelly Mud lv43]
Wow, it’s level four.
No wonder the appearance was so amazing.
"Can it be solved?" He looked at Alpha under him.
"Simple."
Alpha responded with only two words, then swooped down again, spewing raging flames at the mud monsters, burning them all to death on the spot. The dwarfs who were still fleeing stared with wide eyes, looking at the mud monsters that were burned into air, with a stunned expression.
"died."
"They actually burned the sludge monster to death."
"Didn't they say that the mud monster can't be burned to death?"
As a race living in this area, they naturally knew that spores were afraid of fire.
The reason why it is not used is because of the mud monster hidden in the basin.
Seeing Alpha burn the sludge monster to death, they finally came forward in shock.
"How did you do it?"
"Can you teach us?"
"I don't think I've seen you before."
"Did you come from somewhere else?"
Rhodes: ...
No.
Are all the little people so sociable?
Not to mention Rhode, even Alpha and Cabba were stumped by this barrage of questions.
Normally, when you see unfamiliar faces like them, shouldn't you stay away from them?
How come this is different from what they thought?
"You should be from the dwarf tribe, right? Do you know someone called Manta?" Rhodes asked.
"Barbarian Tower?"
"Are you Manta's friend?"
"My home is near Manta's!"
When they heard Manta's name, several dwarfs started chattering non-stop, as if they had already regarded Rhodes and the others as their own.
In the end, he even invited them to his home.
Their familiar appearance made Rhodes and Alpha a little suspicious as to how this race had survived on the black soil until now.
However, with these little people leading the way, they don't have to search everywhere.
So after thinking about it, he agreed to the invitation and left the basin area with a few dwarf humans.
On the way, Rhodes finally learned the purpose of their coming here, which was to collect dandelion feathers to make paragliders.
Originally he was a little confused as to why he wanted to do paragliding.
But when they arrived outside a giant mushroom forest and saw the dwarf people flying all over the sky with paragliders, they suddenly understood.
It seems that paragliding is your means of transportation!
No wonder Manta was so skilled at that time. After failing to climb the sky tree, he directly escaped by paragliding. He thought he had received special training.
"We're here. This is where we'll live. I've sent someone to notify Manta and the elders."
On Kaba's back, several dwarfs said goodbye to Rhodes, then took out their paragliders, took a running start and flew into the sky, flying towards the bubble cities on the mushrooms.
Looking at this magical scene, Rhodes was amazed and finally understood why the dwarfs could live on the black soil.
As for Alpha beside him, in order not to cause panic, he had already changed back into his half-dragon form.
After waiting for a while, a few whooshing sounds were heard in the air. The Barbarian Tower, which had not been seen for many days, and a team of dwarfs came hurriedly from afar.
"It's you, my friend!"
After hearing Manta's shout, the Dwarf Tribe team, which was originally on alert, immediately relaxed and looked at Rhodes and his team curiously.
People in the nearby mushroom city also poked their heads out to look over here, seeming to be very curious about these outsiders.
No need to think about it.
It would be strange if outsiders appeared in a place covered by miasma and spores all year round.
"Dear guest, Manta has already told me about your situation. Please follow me."
The elder of the Dwarf Tribe was an elderly man who looked much calmer than other members of the tribe. It was obvious that he had heard about the details from Manta and the others on the way here.
Rhodes and Alpha looked at each other, then followed them into the mushroom forest and soon entered a stone house covered by bubbles.
Kaba, who couldn't transform yet, was wandering around outside with other dwarf humans.
soon.
Everyone took their seats.
Manta couldn't wait to speak: "Friend, have you been to the Sky Tree recently? Let me tell you, I successfully climbed above the clouds a few days ago!"
So fast?
Are they all up in the clouds?
Rhode was also very surprised when he heard this: "Have you seen the Kingdom of Sky? We came here this time to inquire about the news of the Kingdom of Sky."
"No." Manta shook his head in disappointment. "I wanted to go to a higher place, but I ran into some trouble. A group of black monsters hid above the clouds and blocked my way."
Black monster?
Black beast?
Rod Alpha frowned when he heard this.
As they expected, there were black beasts lurking above, and they had not yet reached the so-called Kingdom of the Sky even above the clouds, which was obviously much higher than they had expected.
"Dear guests, do you also want to ascend to the Kingdom of the Sky?"
At this time, the elder spoke, his expression extremely serious.
Rhode looked at him and said, "Yes, we have a reason to go up. We are just a little worried that the Sky Country does not exist."
Even though they had sensed the breath of the giant dragon clan through the Dragon God's Mark, and knew that it was there, they were not sure whether the giant dragon clan was really there.
What if it was just the corpse of a giant dragon hanging on the top of the sky tree, or something like that, or some dragon bone with the aura of a dragon, wouldn’t all their efforts have been in vain?
"No, the Land of the Sky does exist."
Suddenly, the elder said something that shocked everyone.
He looked serious, staring at Alpha beside Rhodes.
"When I was young, I climbed up there once and saw a huge figure. The aura of that figure was the same as the one next to you."
"you sure!?"
Alpha stood up suddenly, his face excited.
Even Manta and the other dwarf humans were extremely surprised and all looked at the elder.
"Elder, have you really been there? But why have I never heard you mention it?"
"I always thought it was just a legend!"
"Elder, you are not lying to us, are you?"
"Of course you haven't heard of it." The elder's face was full of reminiscence, "Because these bubbles that wrap around the mushrooms and on which we depend for survival are the wish I made after I landed in the Kingdom of the Sky."
