Chapter 19: Butterflies in the Clouds

After winning the match, Kao left the arena and wandered around the Sky Arena: "Is there anything interesting~"

"Hey! Kao. ”

"Huh?" Wandering around, Kao noticed that someone was calling his name, so he looked around.

"Here." A little girl trotted over while waving.

Kao turned his head and saw the girl, dressed in simple casual clothes, but with two bows tied on her head half the size of her head, and her slender double ponytails almost at the height of her, so she was very conspicuous: "Forehead...... You are? ”

"Hello! My name is Isser, I am 14 years old, I live in Mirin City, I am a disciple of Teacher Menqi, and I want to be a good food hunter like my teacher. Ether looked up at Kao'o, and carefully reported the door.

"Good little ......" Kao looked down at the little girl who was only up to her neck, "Then what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

"It's like this......" "Boom !!" Isse was about to say something when a sudden roar of thunder and lightning came from outside the Sky Arena.

"It's coming!" Ether excitedly grabbed Kao's hand and made his way through the crowd to the glass wall.

"And go up." Isser looked up at the clouds above that glowed with a hint of thunder.

With that, he picked up Kao and continued to run to a higher floor.

"What are you looking for?" Kao asked, confused.

"Cloud pupae, the purest sugar in the world!" Ether turned to look at Kao.

"Forehead ......"

"You'll find out when you come and see!" Isser dragged Kao all the way to the 247th floor and walked to an iron door.

"Be careful, it's going to be very windy." Ether opened the door, and the wind howled, causing Kao to squint for a moment.

Opening his eyes, Kao walked to the disc observation platform in front of him, only a dozen meters away, there was a cloud of constantly tumbling and flashing thunder, and the feeling of humidity rushed towards him.

But what people are most concerned about is the dense white and shiny silk chrysalis on the clouds.

"That's the cloud chrysalis?"

"Yes, I'm here for it."

"Why are there cloud chrysalis here?" Kao wondered.

"Because the butterfly in the clouds, which is a butterfly that lives in the clouds, feeds on the clouds, but occasionally it turns into thunderclouds like today, when the white clouds have not eaten yet."

"Because they are too wet to fly away, in order to avoid being injured by the vibrations of lightning and thunder, they will spit out cloud silk to wrap themselves in order to survive the difficulty, and the cloud silk they spit out is what we call cloud chrysalis, which contains the unique secretion of cloud sugar of the butterfly in the cloud."

"The only sky arena in the world that has no restrictions on the opening of such a high floor, so you can get a chance to get cloud chrysalis, which is the sugar ingredient that all gourmet chefs dream of." As she spoke, Iser pulled down a telescopic ladder that was fixed to the door.

"I see, wait, what are you going to do?" Kao nodded, and found that Ether had set the ladder across the lookout, stretching it out into the thunderclouds.

"Of course, I'm going to get the cloud chrysalis." Ether said as a matter of course.

"Wait, it's never too late for the rain to stop." Kao came to Ise's side to stop her.

"Then it's too late! Why did the teacher ask me to come to you for help......" Isser grumbled as she pushed Kao's hand away.

When Iser said this, Kao suddenly became embarrassed: "Uh...... Sorry, but why not wait until the rain stops? ”

"Do you know about Honey Rain? That's because of the cloud where the chrysalis is located. ”

"When it rains in thunderclouds, the moistened clouds will slowly reabsorb the pupa into the thunderclouds, so whenever the rain stops, the butterflies in the clouds break the pupae, and the pupae are gone!" Isser continued to stretch the ladder towards the thunderclouds.

"I see." After hearing this, Kao also began to help Ise, lifting the ladder slightly, so that Ether could more easily and quickly reach the ladder into the thunderclouds.

"OK, let's go." Ether looked at Kao and gave a thumbs up.

.......

The glass curtain wall below the 230th floor is full of people: "Look, those food hunters who don't want to die are here again!" ”

Not only Kao and Ise, but also other food hunters in the other lookouts took the ladder to enter the thunderclouds.

"You'd better hope that they will survive, and a third of the cloud chrysalis they get will be returned to the Sky Arena, so that we can have a chance to buy them."

"You don't necessarily have the opportunity to see butterflies in the clouds twice a year, so I hope I can have a good harvest this time."

The people of the Sky Arena are also looking forward to the harvest of the cloud chrysalis, which can be regarded as the most precious and famous ingredient in this place.

.......

On the 247th floor of the observation deck, Isser's double ponytail is attached to the light blue chant and flies in the wind. "I thought she wouldn't use it......" Kao stood behind Ether.

"I'll go first." Ethser's twin ponytails were wrapped around the ladder, and then he stepped on the ladder from the lookout and walked towards the thunderclouds.

"That feels so cool...... Kao looked at Isser, who was walking fearlessly towards the thunderclouds at a height of several hundred meters. I'm going to do it too. ”

Standing on the ladder, a strong sense of shaking made Kao immediately bend down and hold the ladder: "It's a little different from what I imagined." ”

"Well, let's keep up, time is running out." Ethher turned to look at Kao.

"Yes! It's coming right away. Kao, who didn't want to be underestimated by Ise, immediately stood up.

Isser walked all the way to the top of the ladder, bent down and reached out to touch the thunderclouds, Isser did not stop, and stepped out.

"Ether!! Look at your feet! Kao saw Iseh step into the thunderclouds and rushed towards him.

"Huh?" Ether looked back at Kao as he rushed towards him, but his right foot was already on the thundercloud.

Isser, who was standing on the thundercloud, looked at Kao in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, no, why didn't you fall?" Kao looked at Isser, who was standing on the thundercloud, equally confused.

"Well, the sugar from the chrysalis seeped into the cloud and solidified the top part, so it's fine." After saying that, he stomped on it twice.

"Stop, stop, I see." Even if he understood what was going on, Kao still looked a little flustered.

After both of them were on the thundercloud, Iser told Kao, "You have to be careful, you can't completely peel off the chrysalis, then the butterfly inside will die, so you can only scrape off the outermost part, you know?" ”

"Okay." Kao stepped down and took the three glass bottles that Isser had handed him.

"Speed up, look at the situation of this cloud, we only have 6 minutes, and we will leave as soon as the time is up." With that, Isser crouched down and got to work.

Kao also crouched down, opened a glass bottle, took out the small spatula inside, and began to scrape slowly.

"It's ......," Kao noticed a shadow flying near his right foot.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds and soared into the sky, nearly hitting Kao.

"XXXXX, Isser, what's going on." Kao exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to remind you, you have to be careful to avoid the shadow of thunder and lightning under your feet, it is the only reminder of the movement of thunder without track, you should try to avoid it after seeing it." Ethher turned to look at Kao, who was sitting on the ground.

"Is there anything else you'd like to remind me of?" Kao gritted his teeth.

"It's gone!"
