At sea, the swarm of bees retreated, and the snow-white feathers cried loudly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one knows exactly how the Eclipse Bees built such a large and magnificent nest, using minerals and materials from many different places to create their own floating islands based on experience passed down from generation to generation. Of course, you can also think of it as a giant airship in essence, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it's a spectacular marvel, and it's definitely deserved.

At this time, the beehive, which seemed to be a giant four-leaf clover, was no longer suspended at a low altitude like in the canyon, and it had already left the Nanyuan Continent at this time, and traveled all the way through the clouds in the high altitude. Shioyu didn't know where it was, but when he looked down, he could only see the vast sea.

Clearly, eclipse bees are creatures that are accustomed to migrating long distances, and they have a mobile home and food source, and they can even be maintained for a long time without exerting much energy because of this buoyant way of rising into the air. They migrate not so much for food, as for other organisms, but for the right climate and to collect minerals from all over the world that are useful for hive building.

Well, if you ignore the scary-looking bee colonies and the chill and lack of oxygen in the clouds, it's actually a great way to travel. You can see the clouds passing by like mist, look up at the sun shining brightly in the sky, and look down at the endless blue ocean.

The tide knot and the ...... It has been several days since the unknown Xin Yu people came here, of course, it is not that this Xin Yu person who seems to take care of her does not have a name, in fact, Xi Jie has secretly remembered the other party's name, but it is a series of complex combinations of diacritics and electromagnetic signals, which really can't be forcibly translated into Chinese, even transliteration. The so-called "Cangqing" is obviously not the original name of the original owner of this body, but more similar to the operation code name and the like, because her real name is also such a cumbersome tone.

Obviously, this is an interesting point...... The moon praying people don't know anything about the Xin Yu people they meet for the first time, but the Xin Yu people almost all know the language of the moon prayer people, and even know a lot about them. This kind of asymmetry of information does feel strange, unless the two races of Qiyue and Xin Yu have been in contact before.

Naturally, their presence is not hidden from these Eclipse Bees, but since they have been quietly as passengers, they have not made any drastic actions...... Of course, the more reason is that the Xinyu people are able to create a band barrier that they instinctively dislike, and those Eclipse Bees have completely adopted a strategy of ignoring them, waiting for them to leave on their own.

It seemed that this peaceful journey of peace and quiet would continue until the Eclipse Hive crossed the ocean to another continent, but no one expected that an accident would happen.

Without warning, the Eclipse Bee's nest welcomed a second batch of uninvited guests...... Or rather, an uninvited guest, whose presence obviously makes the owner of this place feel extremely worried but helpless. Yes, you heard it right, the Eclipse Swarm is helpless about it.

……

Standing on a high ground at the top of the Eclipse Hive, Shiokie looked out at the apparently decayed forest ahead of them, which of course they valued as part of the Eclipse Colony's daily food source, but the dying woods had not attracted any attention from the colony, just because the uninvited guest was here.

This wasn't the largest flying creature Shioze had ever seen, and there was no doubt about it, as it was obviously not comparable in size to a giant in the sky like the Thousand Wing Dragon, but it was probably the fastest creature Shioyu had ever seen on Arashi...... The first time it was seen, it swept from above like a phantom, but soon, after slowing down, the creature easily turned around and caught up with the slow-moving hive.

Compared to the pterosaur, the creature in front of it is probably more like a bird, after all, its body that is more than ten meters long is covered with a layer of snow-white feathers, but it is not exactly like a bird in the ordinary sense, because obviously no normal bird has such unusually thick wings. Even from a distance, you can clearly see that some parts of its wings are particularly thick, and the surface is covered with some strange bumps and curves, and more details are indescribable because the relationship between occlusion and distance is not clear.

A unique and eccentric shape, its existence does not make people feel ugly and inconsistent, but is full of an indescribable temperament.

Of course, just the appearance is not anything special, after all, there are many creatures with strange appearances, and the most bizarre thing is that those Eclipse Bees who originally saw other creatures would pounce fiercely, and no matter how powerful the creatures were, they chose to retreat in front of the giant bird that caught up with the hive and forcibly landed, and even did not dare to approach.

Xijie didn't know why they were so frightened, but when the giant bird rushed directly towards the Eclipse Hive from above with a whistling air current, the cloud-like eclipse bee swarm quickly spread out to both sides, and it didn't even dare to get close to it for a certain distance, even if the place it passed by was scattered in a short period of time, and there was no trace of it.

Not all attacks will have gorgeous light and shadow effects that make people know at a glance that this place is dangerous, and Shioyu didn't see any danger from the giant bird, even if it swept above at a very high speed at first...... A loud noise a few seconds later than the figure proved that the other party was gliding through the sky at supersonic speed, but that was not a reason for the Eclipse Bee to dare not approach it, considering that even a Thousand Wing Dragons might not be able to withstand so many Eclipse Bee sieges.

Xijie didn't have the extremely detailed long-range microscopic scanning ability of Xinglan, so she didn't know what was dangerous about this giant bird except for its relatively large size and strange appearance, but seeing that the Eclipse Bee was so avoidable, she still cautiously chose to wait and see from a distance rather than close contact. Soon, she began to congratulate herself on her decision, for since the giant bird had landed in the woods at the top of the hive to rest, a nearby plant had been decaying to varying degrees. This kind of thing easily reminded her of the Nine Shadow Dragons she had seen before, but unlike the Nine Shadow Dragons, those plants seemed to have withered for no reason.

The giant bird lazily flapped its wings, which didn't look very aerodynamic, and some of the thick parts of the wings even contracted and expanded periodically, as if it had a beating heart. It looked up, its white feathers covering its head with a thick protective layer that almost completely covered its eyes, its sharp beak shimmering with a faint metallic sheen, and Tide Knot even saw it easily crush a scattered rock on the woods floor with its beak...... Of course, considering this is the nest of the Eclipse Bee, it doesn't have to be the kind of rock on the ground, but it's not far off.

A loud cry resounded through the sky, not the crisp and melodious chirp of the fairy bird, its cry was short and urgent, full of power.

Its claws are equally eccentric, not the ones that most birds are adapted to grasping branches...... Well, apart from the giant moon prayer tree, there are probably not many trees on this planet that can allow a giant bird with a length of more than ten meters to perch on it, and if it lies on the ground and spreads its wings, it looks exactly like a small airplane, so even as a flying species, its weight cannot be too light.

This is a more cave-like claw, shaped to dig a hole in the ground, but it is actually so dry that it only takes a few seconds to dig a large pit more than half a meter deep in the ground, digging directly through the surface of the eclipse hive, revealing the hard shell of the hive underneath composed of bee colony secretions mixed with some minerals. Xijie knew about the existence of this layer of hard shell, in fact, in addition to this forest, the outermost beehive was wrapped in this layer of cleverly woven into a composite structure, and it was indeed hard enough to withstand this pressure.

However, this hardness seemed to be somewhat vulnerable to the giant bird's deliberate excavation, and it used its sharp beak to strike and then extend its claws, smashing the outermost layer of the Eclipse Hive like a piece of chocolate, revealing a dense hole.

It didn't seem to be digging any further, and it wasn't interested in the inside of the hive, but it just dragged the small piece of the hive shell that it had smashed to the ground outside, smashed it with its beak and swallowed it piece by piece...... It's almost like swallowing ore raw.

This can't be eaten for energy, these minerals mixed with biomass The hard shell contains almost the same chemical energy as a stone, but the special elements in it are extremely rich, and in the end, Xijie can only think that this is probably the giant bird using the hive shell to replenish some necessary elements for the body.

After swallowing the small piece of the hive, the giant bird seemed to be temporarily satisfied, and it stretched its wings lazily...... Only then did Xijie realize that the underside of its wings was not simply covered with feathers, but also some folded skin that was directly exposed, and those places even emitted a strange roar the moment they spread their wings, like the sound of air flowing through their ears at high speed, which was obviously not its cry, but from the huge wings spread out on both sides.

A hand was quietly placed on Xijie's shoulder from behind, she turned her head in surprise, and met the Xin Yu man's somewhat worried gaze, although she knew that the other party's concern was completely based on the original owner of this body, she still couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth, and no longer continued to observe the activities of this giant bird, but got up and prepared to leave here, and the other party seemed not to leave for a while.

The messenger of the gods, the wings of the heavens, descended here.
