Volume 2: The Big Lie Chapter 61: Into the Clouds
Fortunately, Takasugi seemed to have climbed to the limit of his altitude, and instead flew sideways above the air current.
Rhubarb's vertical body also turned sideways, which made Qianzhou, who was lying on it, feel a little steady, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Qianzhou's heart that had just been put down was raised again.
Qianzhou was surprised to find that the starry sky in front of him had become three-dimensional, and it no longer looked like a curtain seen on the ground.
At this height, at least it is already the stratosphere!
Qianzhou even has the illusion that if it flies a little higher, it will fall out of the atmosphere.
At this time, Qianzhou completely left behind the oath he had made.
If you don't fly, you won't fly again in this life. I will never learn the ability to fly in the future, so maybe it would be more suitable for me to study the ability of earth escape.
For the first time, Qiancongxin Zhou discovered that fear of heights can be cultivated!
Before Qianzhou could breathe his breath, the purple tetrahedral particles were already flying densely.
At such speeds, even a collision with an ordinary stone can have extremely serious consequences. Not to mention that these tetrahedra also contain violent essentia.
Rhubarb suddenly folded his wings, and his body spun and sank downward. After avoiding all the tetrahedra, the wings are reopened and climbed to their original height.
The whole sequence of movements is fluid, like performing an elegant aerial ballet. As a fantasy species, his powerful talent is vividly displayed at this moment.
But this is a bitter thousand boats as a pendant. At an altitude of tens of kilometers, it rises and falls, accompanied by a spiral flip. It's a lot more exciting than a roller coaster or something.
Rhubarb let out a loud chirp again, and the essentia swollen up and chased after him.
The purple mist around Takasugi grew thicker, dragging a long tail flame through the air.
Fall! Climb!
Takasugi kept repeating the irregular flight, drawing arcs in the air. Sometimes it even rushes directly into strong air currents.
Rhubarb hangs behind Takasugi, repeating the former's movements like a mirror image.
It's like a negotiated performance, and the two are constantly performing all kinds of unbelievably dangerous movements in the air, as if dancing on the tip of a knife. Break through the air current, smash the strong wind, and the slightest mistake will break your bones.
The whirring sound of the wind passed by the ears of the thousand boats, and the friction generated by the convergence of the air currents created one powerful lightning bolt after another, like a grand fireworks display.
Recently, the crimson thunder could have slashed past Qianzhou, and Qianzhou could even smell the stench of ionizing from the air!
Senshu calculates the movements of the two and finds that Takasugi is flying towards the city of Enron, intentionally or unintentionally.
Is it a coincidence?
If Chifune could get close to Takasugi now, he would have heard the words he repeated to "Brother, brother is still waiting for me." β
As if tired of such a chase, the purple figure folded its wings and began to fall straight down!
In the face of such a provocation (in Rhubarb's opinion), Rhubarb also directly attached his wings to the sides of his body and fell down with the help of gravity.
Unlike the previous petty fights, neither has the intention of slowing down. Just rushing to the ground faster and faster.
The sight on the ground became clearer and clearer in Qianzhou's eyes, but soon Qianzhou could only squintβthe speed of the fall was getting faster and faster, and the whistling wind had become as sharp as rubbing against the strings of the piano. Qianzhou had to urge the dragon scale cloak to attach to his body in order to avoid being injured by the wind.
In such a high-speed fall, Rhubarb's body also changed.
The feathers have become finer and smoother, the wings have become more slender, and the structure of the muscles has changed. This is not a change in the shape of the muscles during movement, but a fundamental structure that becomes more suitable for such high-speed flight.
To use an inaccurate analogy, it's like a sparrow suddenly becoming an eagle!
Is this a griffon's ability?
The scene on the ground had become clear, and a surge of heat had already been felt on the surface of Qianzhou's body - it was the result of friction with the air.
But even so, Takasugi still had no intention of slowing down. The same goes for rhubarb, on the other hand.
This is a silent game, and the side that slows down first is bound to lose in this chase!
But if the speed exceeds the limit of what you can bear, you will inevitably hit the ground and be crushed.
Can you catch up?
Such a question just appeared in Qianzhou's heart, and Rhubarb increased his speed again.
With the eruption of essentia, the rhubarb almost turned into a cyan light and shadow. And the distance between the two is only about ten meters.
But these ten meters are like a moat that cannot be crossed.
It doesn't work like this, it will be bad if it falls to the ground.
Qianzhou furrowed his brows, and a bold idea came to him.
"Rhubarb, can you catch me if I fly out?" asked Qianzhou.
"Goh?"
"I mean, you push me now, I'll knock him down! And then can you catch me before I hit the ground?" Chishu licked his lips, and even he thought the idea was so crazy.
"Goo!"
It means "of course".
"Okay, then I'll count, 3, 2, 1. β
The pale silver flames began to burn silently, and the fragment reverted to the form of a longsword.
β3γ β
The cyan brilliance condensed on Rhubarb's body, and the rolling wind rushed in.
β2γ β
Qianzhou stepped on Rhubarb's body with both feet and arched his body slightly. The heart beats violently, pumping hot blood throughout the body.
β1οΌβ
The cyan essentia suddenly pushed Qianzhou, who stood up and kicked on the top of Rhubarb's head, shooting out like an arrow off the string.
As for that kick, it was about a small revenge for Qianzhou's previous losses.
The distance of ten meters was fleeting, and by the time Takasugi turned around, Senfune had already reached him.
"Surprise!" Chishu cracked open and chuckled.
The next moment, the long sword wrapped in silver flames suddenly slashed down!
The pale silver flames collided with the purple mist, making a deafening loud sound. It was like a 10,000-ton hammer smashing down, and the splashed sparks were so hot that people couldn't open their eyes at all, and the scorching waves of hot air swept thousands of boats upside down.
By the time the bright light dissipated, Qianshu could no longer see Takasugi's shadow at all. Only the houses on the ground are constantly expanding in his eyes.
"Ahhh
"Coo-goo. With a cry of helplessness, Rhubarb swooped down from the air, stretched out his claws and grabbed Qianzhou's arm.
After circling in the air a few times, and after the speed of the fall slowed down, Rhubarb casually threw the thousand boats to the ground, and then he didn't know where he flew.
"Sooner or later, I'm going to pluck your hair!" Qianzhou rubbed his waist and barely got up from the ground.
Patting the dust off his body, Qianzhou found that he had returned to Enron, in an unknown alley.
As for Takasugi's shadow, which is no longer there, I don't know where to hide.
"Did you lose it in the end?" Qianzhou sighed helplessly, and he had suffered all this in vain.
But he looked at the house. β
Chifune closed his eyes, remembering where Takasugi's eyes had looked at the last moment.
After thinking for a while, Qianzhou climbed onto the roof and locked his place in a piece of housing.
"Is this the house?"
Qianzhou raised his head, and in front of him was an ordinary house. It is square, with stone as the main body, and is cemented with clay.
It was late, but it was too dangerous to let Takasugi outside. So Qianzhou still knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, anyone?"
No one responded.
Qianzhou repeated it twice, but the result remained the same.
Qianzhou frowned, mobilized the essentia and pushed the door open.
The house was empty, and a light layer of dust had accumulated. Before Qianzhou could check more, a foul smell came to his face.
"What is this?"
Qianzhou walked quickly to the back room, and the sight in front of him made him look away.
On the bed lay a withered corpse, which looked to have been dead for days. The corpse is not large, and it should still be a teenager. And there was a hole in his chest, and his heart had been gouged out.
"It's true. Qianzhou sighed.
............
By the time Qianzhou returned to his residence, it was already early in the morning, but to his surprise, there was still light in the hall.
Jiang Qinghan sat on a chair, and a half-burned candle was lit on the table next to him. The warm firelight reflects the girl's delicate face, making the girl look like a fairy in a painting.
But looking at this beautiful scene, Qianzhou shuddered.
It's like going home and seeing my mother after an all-nighter, and it's like a cheating husband being caught by his wife.
Wait, how can I have such a strange thought? I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be afraid?
"Qinghan, why haven't you slept so late?" Qianzhou had a courteous smile on his face.
Jiang Qinghan glanced at Qianzhou.
The young man in front of him was in a mess, and his hair was messy like a chicken nest. There were holes and tears all over the clothes, and there were blood stains that had not dried. In particular, the two sleeves were completely gone, and the exposed arms were covered with red bruises and wounds that had not yet healed.
Jiang Qinghan, who was still angry, was also half angry when he saw Qianzhou's appearance, and he was really ruthless.
But thinking that she couldn't just let him go, the girl still snorted angrily: "What, you don't care if I sleep or not?"
"No, no. Qianzhou hurriedly waved his hand, but it seemed to affect the wound, and he couldn't help but snort in pain.
At this moment, Jiang Qinghan was still ruthless, took out the prepared ointment and said, "Come and sit down, stretch out your hand." β
Qianzhou dared to disobey the girl's intentions, and sat down honestly.
Jiang Qinghan drugged him and said, "You really think of yourself as a character, is it fun to be a hero?"
Where did Qianzhou dare to reply, he could only nod his head and say yes.
In the end, the girl didn't say anything else, but gently instructed, "Don't do this next time." β
