Chapter 166 Fruit and the Sea of Sky
The words of the dwarf elder echoed in everyone's ears very clearly, and also stunned Manta and the others.
The legend of the sky tree.
It turned out to be true!
And their elder was actually the first person to set foot on the Kingdom of the Sky!
No matter how calm they were, their faces were filled with emotion at this moment, and they found it difficult to digest this shocking news.
"So, what you saw at the beginning was actually the dragon clan?"
Rhodes was the first to react and asked.
"Yes."
The elder had obviously heard of the existence of the dragon clan, and nodded seriously: "At that time, the black soil polluted the entire world, and almost all of our Tata people were wiped out. With nowhere else to go, I could only venture into the mountains and forests to beg their sacred tree to show its power."
"It was then that I heard the roar of a dragon coming from above the sacred tree. At the time, I didn't know what a dragon was, so I thought it was the response from the sacred tree, so I climbed up desperately, hoping to see the spirit of the sacred tree."
"I only remember that the place was very high. I climbed for a very long time. There was wind, rain and thunder all around. I almost fell down several times. Finally, when I was almost exhausted, I finally reached a palace."
"Then, I encountered the dragon you mentioned. I used my last breath to express my wish, and then I fell into a coma."
"When I woke up, I was already lying in the tribe. Huge bubbles appeared on the mushrooms, isolating all the pollution from the outside. They... fulfilled my wish."
The elder's eyes were filled with nostalgia for the scene at that time, and his gaze became dazed.
He still remembers that legendary adventure very clearly even after so many years.
It can be said that the dragon clan is his benefactor and also the benefactor of their Tata clan.
This is also the reason why he rushed over so quickly after hearing the report from his tribesmen.
"Is this the origin of the Sky Tree legend?" Manta and others supported their chins with their hands, their eyes full of longing and excitement.
It was as if the legendary figure that he had admired since childhood suddenly appeared in front of him.
It turns out their elders are so powerful!
"Cough cough..."
Being stared at by such admiring eyes, the elder coughed twice, his face turned red, and his bent body straightened a little.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but it's too dangerous up there. I don't want my people to take risks, so I ordered this news to be blocked."
"But elder, your wish has come true, hasn't it?" Manta and others' eyes sparkled.
"That's just a rumor they spread. I've already told you not to leak the news." The elder said helplessly, "Besides, it's been more than 200 years since I last saw a dragon. I don't know if it works or not."
Only by experiencing it yourself can you know how dangerous it is on the Sky Tree.
He was forced into a desperate situation at the time, and because he was young and hot-tempered, he tried his best to climb up.
If I hadn't been lucky, I would have fallen and died.
After calming down, he looked at Alpha and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to find those dragons, your people, right?"
"Yes, if possible, please describe the situation in detail again. Are they... really still alive?" Alpha looked solemn and a little nervous.
For more than two hundred years, he was not sure whether those tribesmen were still alive, so he had to go up and confirm it in person.
Seeing his determined look, the elder sighed and no longer concealed anything, telling him the whole process in detail.
Until more than half an hour later.
Rod Alpha said goodbye to the elders and came out of the mushroom forest.
"Are you sure you want to come with us?"
Rhodes looked at Manta beside him.
"Of course!"
Manta looked eager to try: "Since the Kingdom of Sky really exists, I want to go up and take a look. This is my biggest wish!"
"I've told you in advance that if you're in danger, I may not be able to protect you." Alpha said seriously.
"It doesn't matter. My paragliding skills are the best in the tribe. I won't die even if I fall." Manta patted his chest, appearing very confident.
Rhode and Alpha looked at each other and smiled: "Well, come with me. You are more familiar with the place up there, and maybe we will need you to show us the way."
"I will handle it!"
that's it.
Two dragons, one tree and one little man set off towards the Giant Forest.
Originally, Rhodes wanted Kaba to stay in the dwarf tribe and wait for them, but the little guy insisted on following them.
In addition, since Alpha said he could protect them, he had no choice but to take Kaba with him.
"Hold on tight!"
With a shout from Alpha, he transformed into his true form and flew high into the sky in a wave of scorching air, heading towards the center of the Giant Forest.
The terrifying speed made Manta scream in shock, and he felt that his paraglider was so ineffective.
soon.
They flew over the forest, and dense swarms of black beasts began to surround them.
Among them there are even quite a few mountain giants who have reached level five, and the stones they throw can reach hundreds of meters high.
Alpha ignored it and dodged the stones.
Kaba, who was following next to him, was also very agile, shuttling between the boulders without any intention of being left behind.
As expected of him, he is of the Dragon God bloodline. He has shown great talent at such a young age that even Rhodes could not help but marvel at him.
"We're ready, hold on tight and don't fall."
At this time, Alpha's shout was heard.
After nearly an hour of flying, the giant vine connecting the sky and the earth finally came into view. Rhodes and Manta were shocked and they quickly hugged the bulge on Alpha's back.
Feeling unsafe, Rhodes raised his arm and layers of leaf shields wrapped around himself and the barbarian tower, blocking the terrifying wind pressure around them.
wow-
Alpha flapped its wings violently, and its huge body took off vertically like a cannonball, soaring into the sky along the vines of the sky tree.
In just a dozen breaths, it had already reached a height of a thousand meters and was still rising rapidly.
"So fast!"
Manta hugged the protrusion tightly, watching the blurry shadows passing by. In the blink of an eye, they had already flown to the highest point he had ever climbed, and plunged into the clouds.
Kaba was also fast, following behind them and spiraling upwards along the giant vines.
Rumbling--
The sound of lightning and thunder rang out.
After passing through the clouds, the air currents around them became noticeably more turbulent, almost blowing them so hard that they could hardly open their eyes.
"There is a thunderstorm area ahead, be careful not to be struck by lightning."
The highest point of the Barbarian Tower is here, and he hurriedly gave a reminder.
"What thunderstorm? You little guys, go play somewhere else, or I'll spank you!"
In Rhodes' eyes, this was not a thunderstorm at all, it was just a large area of lightning elements gathered here.
These guys usually like to run to very high places. You can hardly find many of them in the woods. It turns out they came here to play.
as predicted.
As soon as his voice fell, the lightning elements ran away.
The originally extremely fierce thunderstorm disappeared in an instant, leaving only the residual energy of the lightning elements to form arcs, wandering in the clouds.
This strange scene left Manta dumbfounded.
who am I?
where am I?
what am i doing?
However, before he could react, Alpha's voice came again.
"There really is a black beast up here!"
As if in response to his words, a large number of eagle-like figures suddenly appeared on the giant vines, screaming and flying towards them.
Dense feathers fell and were carried by the strong wind, turning into sharp blades, cutting on the shield with a bang.
"Die!"
Alpha roared, flames erupted from his mouth, and exploded in the sky.
Before the black beasts got close, their bodies were burned black and fell from the sky like dumplings.
"I forgot that there used to be a group of harpy people living in this area. I thought they were all extinct, but I didn't expect them to appear here."
After dealing with all the harpies, Alpha spoke in a deep voice.
"Is there even this species in the Dream Forest?" Rhodes asked in surprise as he looked at the falling corpses.
"There weren't any originally, but later the Moon God used his divine power to merge humans and eagles, allowing them to gain the ability to fly, and slowly a group of eagle-bodied people was formed."
Rhodes:? ? ?
Is this how the harpy came about?
Lord Moon Goddess, are you playing too hard?
First it was the elemental dragon, then the harpy. Rhodes was almost too tired to complain. If any strange species appeared in the future, he wouldn't think it was a big deal.
While he was thinking, Alpha finally broke through the clouds, reached an altitude of ten thousand meters, and its speed slowed down.
"Not here yet?"
Rhodes frowned and looked upward.
As far as the eye can see, there are only vines that penetrate the sky and the earth, extending to where the eye can't see, as if there is no end.
And as they continued to rise, the level of the black beast on the vines became higher and higher, and it was almost reaching the fifth level.
"According to the elders, after he passed through the clouds, he was chased by a large group of black beasts. He panicked and fell into the sea, and then he entered the Kingdom of Sky."
"Sea? How can there be a sea in the sky?"
Rhodes raised his head and looked at the chaotic sky.
Do you think this is a game?
Even the sky and the sea came out.
"I'm not sure about that. I remember the elder said that before falling into the sea, he saw a blue fruit. You guys should pay attention to see if there is such a fruit on the vines."
The Tata elder said so much that even Alpha couldn't remember it all. He only remembered the most crucial points.
fruit.
Sea of sky.
As long as we find these two things, we will definitely be able to find the location of the Land of the Sky.
"Blue fruit?"
Upon hearing this, Rhodes and Manta quickly looked up and around.
They flew like this for nearly half a day, resting on the vines several times. When they felt they were about to fly out of the border of the dream forest, Manta's exclamation suddenly came.
"found it!"
Rhodes and Alpha were shocked when they heard this and looked in the direction he was looking.
Sure enough, at the end of my sight, I saw a vine extending from the chaotic void, and a blue fruit hanging on the vine.
"It's the top of the sky tree!"
“It actually grew here!”
Rhodes never expected that this sky tree could grow so long.
What's even more strange is that even though its roots have been contaminated by black soil, it can still grow fruits on the top.
The fruits are hanging in the void, and the scene looks as weird as it can be.
"Now that we have found the fruit, where is the promised sea of sky?"
Rhodes raised his head and looked upwards. Apart from the chaotic sky, there was no trace of the Sea of Sky.
"That's what the elder said. Not long after seeing the fruit, it fell into the sea. Let's go check the fruit first."
Alpha said as he took off again, flying towards the fruit along with Cabba.
however.
It was beyond their expectation.
As they approached, the fruit, which originally seemed to be only the size of a fist, gradually grew larger, and even the sound of waves could be heard faintly.
Sound of the waves?
Sea of sky?
Rhodes' face lit up with joy, and he looked around quickly, looking for the ocean that the Tata elder had mentioned.
