"This is the kamikaze."

The red eyes flickered in the clouds, and the darkness behind the lightning made it seem like the giants that had appeared before were just illusions created by light, the shape of the clouds, and the smoke. But all four of them knew that this was not an illusion, but some great being with supernatural powers.

Ithaca...... The god of terror on the Polar Circle Ice Field, attacking and hunting those who roam and the ice field, brutally attacking them with the wind...... Afterwards, only huge footprints were found within a few miles of each one...... "Adrian had read the most mythological materials of all the people present, and was the first to identify the illusionary body.

In the theories of some alchemists or ancient sorcerers, Ithaca, like Hasta, is an evil god who belongs to the origin of stroke among the four elements of the universe. Hasta's rank is higher in the system of evil gods, which may be why in the war seven hundred years ago, Ithaca of the Northern Plains submitted to the King of Yellow and held up his palace on Earth.

A never-ending torrential rain fell on the four of them. Adrian didn't wear makeup tonight, revealing his delicate and handsome face, and his rain-soaked hair was tied back by him. He stepped onto the jet skateboard and pressed the trigger with the heel of his boot, orange-yellow flames erupting from the jet.

"Let's end tonight, whatever it is." Adrian's sigh sounded indistinct in the pouring rain, and the other three didn't hear it. Su Jing and Su Luo jumped on the skateboard together and started the engine.

Xu Fugui's whole body was soaked by the raindrops, and he stepped on the skateboard with one foot, but the other foot couldn't step on it.

If you go up, you can't turn back as soon as you go up.

He covered his eyes with his hands again and looked at the sky in the distance. The terrifying giants I had seen before seemed to be just an illusion caused by light and shadow. But in the deep darkness of the sky, the sense of fear of the unknown continues unabated.

If you retreat here......

Xu Fugui's second foot also stepped on the skateboard. I've practiced it many times before. He pressed the engine trigger with the heel of his shoe, feeling the sudden acceleration press himself against the skateboard. Then there's the lightness of gravitylessness. In the midst of a torrential rain. He stroked his short hair back, letting the ferocious raindrops hit his face.

"Let's go!"

As if a shipwreck, Xu Fugui's face showed a resolute look.

Four flames pierced the dark night sky.

――――――

"There's no way to break through!!"

"Fly higher!!"

More than Su Jing expected, more than thirty adventurers of different shapes were flying wolf in the torrential rain. Low-level adventurers can't fly on their own, and all use power-ups, mostly mechanical power-ups and a small number of spell items. The crimson glow of the fire and the blue trail weaved into a beautiful and jumbled bullet mark in the torrential rain, as if hiding from something.

The extreme cold in the deep sky made most of the adventurers sluggish, and the altitude above eight thousand meters. No one here has ever experienced a battle fought in the air. Oxygen is thin, the brain is paralyzed by lack of oxygen, and the limbs gradually stiffen...... There were already two or three adventurers who were physically weaker and fell from a great height.

At great distance, everyone could already see the suspended land in the sky. It floats high in the air like a flying mountain, and what holds it up is a huge storm that envelops the entire floating island. The high-speed windswept snow forms a tangible vortex in the air, and the water vapor in the high air condenses into snow particles, which condenses into white swirling spots under the action of the vortex. Ordinary flying machines were completely unable to resist the superstorm that could blow the boulder away, and the reckless ones who tried to get close were swept away in an instant. Even the flying device was damaged by the high winds.

"Be careful! Not again!! ”

One of the adventurers on a flying broom screams in the team channel. Hundreds of winged snakes emerged from the storm, surging out like a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Completely unaffected by the wind, they swarmed up and tore adventurers into pieces with their claws, then divided and devoured.

The youngsters, who were raised by the court of the King of Yellow, showed their bloodthirsty nature in the midst of the storm. The adventurers fought back. But in the turbulence of the air currents, the guns could not be aimed accurately, and had to risk shooting at close range. The tough skin of the Flying Snakes can counteract the impact of most small-caliber guns. It was only for a moment that he was afraid of the pain caused by the bullet that he did not dare to step forward.

"Fly higher!"

The leading adventurer stepped on a rocket skateboard and drew his long knife from a flying snake. This flying skateboard bought from an underground bazaar is inexpensive and has excellent performance. Let him use his martial arts even in the air, and only then did he kill three or four flying snakes. Break through the encirclement of the flying snake and fly upwards.

Suddenly, his vision widened. It turned out that at some point, the flying skateboard had taken him out of the clouds. At this moment, he was on the vast sea of clouds, and under the cold moonlight, it was like coming to a world of ice and snow. He was dizzy for a few seconds before retracting his thoughts and looking down at himself.

Then he saw Karksa.

Projection of ancient ruins from distant stars, this floating island floating on the Asian continent. Like a giant tortoise floating in the clouds, this fragment of land from beyond the sky, the black city of ancient civilization stands on this island like an echo from the eternal netherworld. Strange spires, deserted streets, and uninhabited ruins, as if hundreds of thousands of years, or more, this thriving civilization was wiped out by some kind of plague overnight.

Pestilence...... Or something more terrible than the plague. The dilapidated buildings resemble decaying corpses, reminiscent of a silence older than death. He couldn't imagine that this was where the ruler of this kingdom lived, the King of Yellow and his court. What about their guards?

At the edge of the city is a barren plain, with half a lonely mountain range and a calm lake. Something seemed to be breathing slowly in the water, and I don't know if it was the wind or something else that was stirring the water, causing the calm water to ripple in circles...... Several black shadows were crawling out of the water, and the figures were far from human, chaotic, deformed, wriggling, twisted......

"Welcome to the Outer Heavens."

A gentle voice said. The sound of wings flapping sounded in front of him, carrying huge bat wings. A man in a blue suit was hovering in front of him with his hands folded, smiling kindly.

"I'd love to say that - but I'm sorry. In front of it is a state secret land, and ordinary tourists have to buy very expensive tickets to enter. Tut. That being said, we never had a ticket window, and the scenery inside was nothing to see. So ......"

The blue suit snapped his fingers, stretched out his hand diagonally, and made a "please return" motion.

"It's all here, how can you go back like this!" The white light flashed in the adventurer's hand, and in the next moment, a single rocket launcher was already on his shoulder, just pulling the trigger. A rocket capable of overturning a bus was shot out with a gray tail of smoke.

"Ahh

Kashiwazaki didn't have time to exclaim, and he was shot by a rocket. A huge explosion erupted in the clouds, and the waves of air blew the adventurer and his flying skateboard dozens of meters away, but the warrior's supreme kept him balanced.

The air currents in the high altitude were very rapid, and it only took five or six seconds for the dust to be blown away by a strong wind.

Unscathed, Kashiwazaki parted the second pair of giant bat wings, which enveloped him tightly without the slightest damage. It was only pushed back a few meters by the impact of a strong explosion.

"I don't want to talk about it, but I don't want to. Attacking a small clerk who has worked hard at night to work overtime with such a dangerous weapon is already a very serious violation of the law according to our law. Kashiwazaki waved his wings to block the second rocket, and continued to narrate slowly. So, I'm sorry, I'm going to exercise my law enforcement powers. Good bye. ”

More agile than a warrior on a flying skateboard. Flying demons flying high in the air lightly skimmed over the intruder's body. The bat's wings flashed away, a few seconds later. The adventurer's body broke into two parts, and slid into the clouds along with the runaway skateboard. Kashiwazaki whistled as the corpse and skateboard quickly fell. Happily wonder if any lucky person on the ground happens to be hit by these falling objects?

The floating islands in the clouds shook suddenly, and the storm layer that isolated the inside and outside suddenly stopped. Within a few minutes of the "shutdown and restart" of Ithaca, the evil god holding up the floating island, the strong wind vortex will temporarily stop, and this is also the best time to break into the floating island.

Kashiwazaki snorted, pulled out a large handkerchief from his pocket, and blew his red nose vigorously, "So I hate working overtime." ”

――――――

"Start the Iron Feather Linkage Module."

The optical stealth instrument modified by Su Jing can be invisible along with the flying skateboard. When activated, only thermal detection can capture the heat emitted by the tail flame. The four of them traveled through the torrential rain, and although the raindrops brought a certain amount of interference to the invisibility, if you looked closely, you would see the traces of the raindrops being knocked apart, but the disturbance caused to the hunters was even greater.

It's already eight and seven o'clock. The four of them walked through a group of flying snakes scattered in the rain. These black deformed serpents vary in size, most of them as thick as an adult's wrist, and have wings grown from a black membrane on their backs. They fly wildly, looking for careless prey.

Su Jing saw a giant snake with a waist circumference of perhaps one meter and a length of more than thirty meters gliding higher in the air. They seem to be completely unaffected by gravity, and the wings on their backs are only used to adjust the direction of gliding. These flying snakes defuse the air as if they were swimming in water, biting at lone adventurers.

"Bypass with little power." Su Jing whispered in the communicator, "Look at their skin...... These animals are sensitive to air vibrations. ”

The four of them reduced the power of the aircraft to its lowest gear, and gently bypassed the flying snake and climbed up the rock wall of the floating island. Visibility in the clouds is extremely low, and the rock wall can only be used as a reference object for determining the bearing. These bloodthirsty flying snakes seem to be roosting in the rock walls on the outskirts of the floating islands, and the caves on the rock walls are filled with black snakes, like maggots drilled into and out of corpses.

A huge black shadow passed through the four of them, and the largest giant snake swam silently, nearly colliding with Adrian. It seems to be sensitive to heat energy and hovers around here. The four had to carefully maneuver the skateboard, nimbly navigating the air raids that coiled around its body.

Suddenly, the sound of a gunfire from above caught its attention, and the serpent swam slowly, speeding towards a higher place.

More than ten seconds later, the eyes of the four of them suddenly opened up. They had already made their way through the clouds, climbed the cross-sectional cliffs, and reached the top of this floating island from the alien world. In front of me is a barren plain, and the black ruins of the city stand more than a dozen kilometers away, like sleeping giants.

The rust-red rocks were covered with gray-black, parched soil, and the four piloted the aircraft, gliding towards the black ruins in the distance.

“…… Sky! ”

Xu Fugui raised his head and exclaimed.

At some point, the sky has changed color. It's not the sky on Earth anymore, and there are two huge red moons hanging on the pale yellow faint sky dome. The hue of the starry sky has completely changed, and the black stars are lined up in the shimmering yellow night sky, which looks grotesque and alarming.

"Welcome to Kalksa, the court of the King of the Yellow Coat." Su Jing smiled, revealing sharp canine teeth. (To be continued......)
