Chapter 3 Floating Under the Stars

The rapid rotation made Li Yiheng lose the concept of time, I don't know how long it took, with a muffled sound of "bang", Li Yiheng's originally vacated body fell heavily on the floor of the ship's control room, he realized that the ship had stopped, and then slowly got up, twisted his hands back and forth a few times, to confirm that there was no big problem, turned his head and saw Xiao Ji's claws hooking the clothes on his shoulders, but his body was hanging upside down, the dizziness had not completely dissipated, he couldn't help laughing, held Xiao Ji in his hand, and stretched out his fingers to provoke Xiao Ji's head. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yiheng was teasing, Xiao Ji came to his senses, and bit Li Yiheng's restless fingers coldly, Li Yiheng screamed in pain: "Look at your bird appearance, I'm helping you." ”

After speaking, Xiao Ji's head was about to bounce over, Xiao Ji pulled away and fluttered to the top light of the control room, Li Yiheng realized that the light in the control room was still on, and he saw through the glass window of the control room that it was still dark outside, but the dark sky was shining with bright stars.

Li Yiheng hurriedly ran out of the control room, came to the deck, looked around, and found that the ship was under a vast starry sky, even in Mermaid Island, he had never seen such a dense number of stars;

"This is really another world, why can't you see any buildings?Could it be that the necklace was used incorrectly and was taken to the gap in space?" Li Yiheng looked at the endless darkness under the hull of the ship and was faintly worried.

What made Li Yiheng feel even more puzzled was that the hull of the ship was suspended in the air like this, if it was a weightless state, it would be impossible for him to be in contact with the hull so closely, but the facts were in front of him, Li Yiheng couldn't help but look down again, thinking about the reason.

Xiao Ji fluttered his wings at this moment and came to Li Yiheng, Li Yiheng looked at Xiao Ji flying in the air, had a plan, and said to Xiao Ji: "Can you do me a favor and go down there to see what's there?"

Looking at the oppressive darkness below, Xiao Yi also trembled timidly, and shouted at Li Yiheng with "chirp", revealing timidity in his voice.

Li Yiheng continued: "I'm also scared, but I want to find out what is down there, just do me this favor, if you have any needs in the future, just ask me, I will meet them unconditionally." Li Yi patted his chest horizontally to show that he was talking.

But Li Yiheng didn't understand the real meaning of Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji didn't want to go, he was also very curious, but he didn't dare to go alone, he was also afraid of the dark.

So Xiao Ji took a deep breath, his body grew up instantly, like a giant eagle, this is in the long sea drifting time, Xiao Ji gradually practiced the skills, since meeting the flock of boobies, Xiao Ji found that his body can expand many times, realized that this is his natural ability, so he continued to practice, to the extent that he can now be free, but the time to grow up is currently limited, as long as this breath can not be held, Xiao Ji will retract back to its original size.

I saw Xiao Ji flapping his wings and motioning for Li Yiheng to sit up, Li Yiheng patted his head, and suddenly realized: "How did I forget your trick, so that I can take a closer look for myself." ”

Li Yiheng didn't care about the soaked clothes, returned to the cab, opened the locked cabinet, found two flashlights to wear on his body, and one for backup.

Xiao Ji carried Li Yiheng out of the hull and flew towards the darkness below, Li Yi crouched on Xiao Yiheng's back, and looked around with a flashlight, but the beam of the flashlight disappeared into the boundless darkness, and it seemed that it would never end.

The two of them continued to descend, but they still couldn't see anything, and such an empty environment was easy to cause fatigue and an inexplicable sense of fear.

I don't know how long it flew, Xiao Ji shook his back, indicating that his ability was about to reach the limit, and he wanted to turn back to the boat, Li Yiheng thought for a while, motioned for Xiao Ji to stop in the air, and then threw the flashlight in his hand down, wanting to understand the situation below simply and quickly in this way.

But the flashlight did not fall freely as Li Yiheng imagined, but fell relatively slowly, as the beam became smaller and smaller, and there was no sign of the end at all, Li Yiheng patted Xiao Xiao's neck and said to Xiao Xiao: "Go back." ”

Xiao Ji turned around and flapped his wings quickly, flying towards the hull of the ship, Li Yiheng was even more confused: "Everyone can fall, but the boat can float in the air, and the speed at which the flashlight falls is also unusual, is it difficult that the magnetic field here repels metal? Just like the teacher taught, the same sex repels each other?"

After returning to the ship with this idea, Li Yi hurriedly began to carry out his own experiments: he successively took out the empty wooden box in the cabin, and an empty iron box used to hold fresh water, and when he came to the side of the ship, he said to Xiao Ji, who had been restored to its original state: "Next, I am going to do a very famous experiment, you should watch carefully." ”

After speaking, Li Yiheng threw down the wooden box, and as Li Yiheng expected, the wooden box fell down quickly; Then, Li Yiheng threw the iron box down, but at the moment when the iron box was taken off, Li Yiheng felt the hull of the ship sinking downward, but the action was very slight, and it stopped again after descending a short distance, and the iron box also fell very slowly, perhaps it was more appropriate to use the float, like a feather, slowly.

"Ha, I understand that the magnetic field of this world really has a repulsive effect on metal, and our hull is made of steel, so it can float in the air. Li Yiheng said excitedly to Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji tilted his head and looked at the excited Li Yiheng as if he didn't understand.

But the road still has to be moved forward, but how can we let the boat go?

Li Yiheng made a plan, and said to Xiao Ji with a smile: "Brother Ding, do me another favor, you get bigger and grab the bow of the boat and fly with the boat, and we may be able to move on." ”

Xiao Ji looked at Li Yiheng and asked for his own help, extremely reluctantly, sitting on the ground and combing his feathers.

Li Yiheng hurriedly went over and said with a smiling face: "Good brother, let's do one last favor, otherwise how can we go, we will always float here?" ”

Xiao Ji couldn't stand Li Yiheng's stubbornness, so he reluctantly expanded his body again, grabbed the bow of the boat and slammed it hard, and the hull of the boat floated forward again.

Li Yiheng carefully observed the speed of the hull movement, and did not slow down much because of the resistance of the air, which was a good thing for them, but his more serious energy came up again, and began to think restlessly: "It doesn't make sense, there is air here, so there is also resistance, and the ship has traveled for so long, and there is no sign of slowing down, then there is only one possibility: there is also a magnetic field in front of the hull to attract the hull forward?!"

But guessing is useless, you have to see the specific things in front of you to draw conclusions, Li Yiheng temporarily put down the fruitless thinking, lay on the deck and looked at the starry sky, muttering: "I thought I wouldn't be so boring without the sea, but now it seems that I'm still too young and ignorant, it's more boring here than the sea, at least you can see fish and water in the sea, you can only see the stars here, it's boring, what do you say, Xiaoji?"

Xiao Yi also followed Li Yiheng's appearance and lay on the deck, with his legs facing up, his wings spread, looking at the stars in the sky, and replied to Li Yiheng weakly: "Tsk." ”

At this time, Li Yiheng suddenly got up, became interested, and said to Xiao Ji: "By the way, speaking of stars, I learned a lot about stars when I was a child, do you want to listen to it?"

Xiao Ji was about to refuse, and Li Yiheng had already begun to tell Xiao Ji the stories and legends about the planets that her mother had told him when she was a child.

"The planets have a gravitational pull on each other, so they can maintain a constant distance...... If you look at the moon, there is a beautiful legend of Chang'e, that girl had a rabbit, but I don't know if it was male or female......"

At first, Xiao Ji was very impatient to listen to it, but the more he listened, the more interesting it became, especially when Li Yiheng added a lot of distorted but not boring explanations and beautiful legends to these stories, which made Xiao Ji very interested.

Li Yiheng talked endlessly, and only Li Yiheng's voice was wafting in the boundless dark world.

In the end, Li Yiheng finished telling him the story about the stars told by his mother, felt dissatisfied, and continued: "I still know some secrets of the mountain and sea passages, do you think it is a coincidence that we came here through Shuanglong absorbing water this time? ”

Li Yiheng turned a blind eye to Xiao Ji's impatient expression, rubbed the necklace, and continued to explain: "I've been thinking, there must be something here that resonates with the necklace, so we entered here so coincidentally......"

Xiao Ji listened to Li Yiheng talk so much, he was already a little tired, sat up suddenly, raised his wings and was about to make a pause posture, who knew that Li Yiheng didn't look at himself, stared at the necklace, and said that he doubted himself. Xiao Ji lay back weakly, looking at the moon, fantasizing that he would be able to reach the end sooner.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yiheng's voice suddenly stopped, Xiao Ji looked at Li Yiheng a little unaccustomedly, and found that Li Yiheng was also staring at him, and there were some tears in his eyes.

"You know, since you left Cape City, you haven't been with a person for a long time, and you don't have a friend to befriend you with, and you're the only one. ”

Looking at the tears in Li Yiheng's eyes, Xiao Ji was also a little moved, he couldn't imagine that his position in Li Yiheng's heart was so high, he always thought that Li Yiheng was very strong and fearless, it turned out that he was also afraid of loneliness.

For a while, Xiao Ji didn't know how to express his emotions, and the two sides fell silent.

Time seems to stand still here, the boat floats silently ahead, a man and a bird lie silently, Li Yiheng also feels that he is afraid of invisible things, and he will also be worried about loneliness without partners.

Li Yiheng turned to the little guy next to him and said, "Will we really fall into the black hole of time, where will we go if we float like this?"

Xiao Ji looked at the stars in the sky, and called three times, which was in response to Li Yiheng's question, Li Yiheng complained: "When I was at sea, I tried so hard to teach you to speak, and you didn't make any progress, and now if you can say a word, even if it's a sentence, it's better than going on like this between the two of us." ”

Xiao Ji was a little anxious this time, flew in front of Li Yiheng, opened his mouth, did not make a sound for a long time, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were bulging.

"Chirp~" broke the silence of both sides, and Li Yiheng sighed: "What, I'm happy to be harmed." ”

Li Yiheng shook his head with his hands behind his back, and walked to the bow of the boat and sat down, like a disappointed old man, and Xiao Yi stood on the side of the boat indignantly, looking at the stars above him in deep thought.

On the deck, Li Yiheng looked at the shining stars, fell asleep unconsciously, in a trance, felt a wave of heat on his face, and it was one after another, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that it was Xiao Ji standing on his forehead, panting "whirring", and then let out a rapid cry, Li Yiheng turned over and rose from the ground, followed the direction of Xiao Ji's head, and found a huge round black shadow in front of him, and said in surprise: "Is it the end?" Li Yiheng looked into the distance with anticipation, and said something in his mouth: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

With the sound of chattering, Li Yiheng felt that the speed of the ship had also increased, and Li Yiheng's original guess was confirmed: "The unknown thing in front will really attract the ship." ”

As the hull of the ship approached the black sphere, the speed of the ship became faster and faster, which also made Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji even more excited: they were finally going to get rid of this endless darkness.

However, Li Yiheng greatly ignored the volume of the black shadow, and moved forward at the current speed of the ship, and never saw the feeling that the black shadow had become larger, and it was always like that, which made Li Yiheng surprised: "It's difficult that this black shadow is bigger than a planet?"

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them lost their original excitement, and continued to lie on the deck and look at the stars, as if they had lost hope in the road ahead.

Li Yiheng continued to say to Xiao Ji: "Look, I don't know when the road ahead will arrive, do you want me to sing a song to you to kill time?"

This time, Xiao Ji was prepared, and screamed "chirp", mixed with deep impatience.

Li Yiheng continued to look at the air boringly, and said: "I'm not a nagging person, I'm just floating here, reflecting this scene, I will think of a lot of things, and my feelings will increase a lot, so I naturally want to find someone to talk to." ”

Listening to Li Yiheng's sad words, Xiao Ji also recalled all kinds of things in the Mermaid Empire, if he hadn't met Li Yiheng, he wouldn't have known where he would have ended up now, let alone experienced so many wonderful things, so if he met Li Yiheng, would it be the arrangement of fate? Although the person in front of him is a little unpredictable, as a partner, he is very relieved, with him, he will not feel in danger.

Xiao Ji thought about it, and couldn't help humming the song he learned in the Mermaid Empire, although it was used to hypnotize the Black Mist Giant Infant at that time, it now sounded like it was also very helpful to calm people's restless mood.

Li Yiheng listened to Xiao Jing's singing, his depressed mood was also soothed, and he took out his necklace and thought about the runes on it, especially the two places that glowed when he entered the passage of the other world, although now those two places have returned to their previous positions at some point, Li Yiheng faintly feels that these runes will be the key to the other world.

Finally, after a longer wait than a lifetime, the hull of the ship came to the vicinity of the black shadow, and at this moment Li Yiheng saw clearly that the black shadow in front of him was an intricate mix of rattan-like plants, these plants had no leaves, and they were covered with large and small thorns, these plants were thick and thin, the thickest was comparable to the mountainside, and the thinnest was enough to carry the ship.

Li Yiheng stared blankly at the intertwined plants in front of him, not realizing that a crisis was coming.

Just when Li Yiheng sighed and encountered strange things, there was a "buzzing" sound from the back of the hull, from far and near, Li Yiheng followed the direction of the sound and saw that there was a black shadow again! However, this black shadow was approaching him, Li Yiheng vigilantly opened the umbrella blade, put on a defensive posture, and Xiao Yi also stood on Li Yiheng's shoulder, trying to distinguish the true body of the black shadow.
