Chapter 12: The Flames of the Sky

The scenery was always the same, the air was always cold, the ice that hindered progress, the journey to the sea had been going on for a long time, and the dragons had turned from the initial excitement to laziness, leaning against the rocky mountains at the back of the ark, looking at the gray clouds in the sky, counting the occasional snowflakes falling down......

The feeling of 'boredom' slowly infected the jade dragon and the skeleton dragon, and the journey at sea was always like this, and I think when Lin came out, the head worm also felt very boring......

Although this is not the case for Lynn, during the voyage of the ark, Lynn is constantly devouring huge amounts of plankton, and Lynn discovers many new species that she has never seen before, and it is interesting to just observe them...... It's a pity that other creatures can't observe it.

"Ga ......" Several jade dragons were lying on a rocky mountain, they looked at the clouds in the sky, and at the same time began to chat: "How long have we been away?" "I don't know." "I don't know where I'm going." "It doesn't seem like there's much to do right now." "Gah, if only something interesting happened."

'Whew......' When the Emerald Dragons seemed to be very bored, a roar rang out in the sky.

"Gah! What is that! The jade dragons lying on the rocky mountain hurriedly stood up, only to see a bright light suddenly appear in the sky more than a hundred meters in front of the ark, and only to see an object burning with raging flames passing through the clouds and rushing straight into the sea.

'Boom! The moment it hit the surface of the sea, a loud noise echoed in the air at the same time, and waves stirred up around it, and the emerald dragons were frightened and rolled down the hillside, they quickly got up and fled to the inner layer of the ark and shouted, "We have been attacked! Raid! ”

"Attack?" When Susumi heard this in the inner layer, she immediately ran to the back of the ark. It looked out into the surrounding sea and said, "Where's the attack?" ”

"Gah! Just now. There was a lot of burning stuff falling. ”

"Big burning stuff?" Susumi wondered, "What the hell is that?" ”

…… What's that, exactly? Is it a meteorite? Lynn noticed it early on. But this thing isn't very fast, it doesn't feel like a meteorite.

But there is no doubt that it is quite dangerous, and Lynn needs to find its source.

Thinking about it, Lin opened the rocky mountain on the back of the three arks, and a large number of flyers appeared from it, and flew quickly towards the clouds in the sky, although Lin had previously used a class called 'Light Collector' to collect sunlight on the clouds. However, they have all been retrieved recently, so it is up to the flyer to observe.

Moreover, Lynn's flyers have comprehensive perception abilities, so it's better to let them detect them.

"Sure enough...... something happened" Susumi saw the large number of flyers, and immediately shouted, "All the dragons are back to the lower level, we must ......"

......Just then, another huge flaming object appeared from the clouds, and this time, it appeared right above the ark on which the Emerald Dragons were riding.

Its burning flame lit up almost the entire world, and with a strong whistling sound, it fell vertically towards the ark. The jade dragon on the ark immediately fled in a hurry.

'Boom-!! And just when the thing was still a few hundred meters away from the ark, it suddenly let out a loud noise. Then it turned into countless fragments, and in the next moment, these fragments also exploded at the same time, completely turning into endless smoke and dust.

I saw that on both sides of the ark's body, a large number of cannon barrels more than ten meters long protruded from the shell, aiming at the position where the 'meteorite' had just appeared in the sky.

The "......" Emerald Dragons breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and they did not hesitate, but quickly hid in the lower level of the ark.

Lynn uses a double crit method, where two blasters are fired at the same time, one blasting the target and the second blast releases a large number of small tracking bombs to shatter the fragments scattered by the target, thus providing perfect defense and no mob will be harmed by the fragments.

At the same time, a large number of flyers had already flown up the cold clouds, and above the clouds, Lin saw a world full of bright sunlight, where the light was not obscured by the clouds, and it was quite dazzling, but Lin did not see anything special.

'Huh......'

At this moment, there was another whistling sound below, and a large number of incendiary materials fell from the clouds, and they rushed straight towards the ark, and under the successive explosions, countless incendiary materials were blown into dust by the explosive bombs, and many fell in the sea around the ark.

It seems that these things fell in the clouds? The pilots immediately flew into the clouds and used sound detection to search for creatures in the clouds.

At the same time, Lin had some of the flyers fly to the place where the burning object had fallen, and soon found the still smoking thing in the water, which Lin found to be made up of something that was often seen in the mud of the sea.

…… Pregnant!

The pilots found something very similar to a target in the clouds, this creature is quite large, more than thirty meters long, it is shaped very much like an empty jellyfish, the pilots quickly flew to the location of this creature, this creature seemed to feel something approaching, it suddenly increased its speed, and rose above the clouds.

As the flyer chased above the clouds, under the brilliant sunlight, Lynn finally saw its true face.

This is indeed ...... An empty jellyfish, but to be precise, a subspecies of the empty jellyfish.

It has gray skin, a chubby body like an empty jellyfish, and a number of thick tentacles underneath it.

Moreover, Lynn noticed that the 'jellyfish' was secreting something sticky from the end of its tentacles, and it stirred these sticky things together, rubbed them into a big ball, and then sprayed something on it with its tentacles.

'Whew! At this moment, the ball burst into flames, and then the jellyfish let go of its tentacles, and the burning ball fell directly into the clouds, and smashed through the clouds in the direction of the ark.

It turns out that the 'meteorite' was made by this creature? It seems that the purpose of doing this is to prey, although Lin feels that this method of predation is too expensive and has a low hit rate, but it may not be the creature on the back of the ark...... It's the whole Ark itself.

Moreover, there is not only one such creature in the vicinity.

At this time, the surrounding clouds were squeezed away, and more of these 'empty jellyfish' flew out of the clouds, and Lynn found that they were a large group, numbering sixty, almost covering the nearby sky.

And when they start pinching the goo in their tentacles at the same time, a rain of burning materials will also fall from the sky.

But until then...... 'Boom!' ’

The bomb pierced through the clouds at a faster speed, bursting into the sky with brilliant sparks, and the surrounding jellyfish seemed to be stunned, and fearful thoughts spread between them, and all the jellyfish fled.

Lin looked at the group of jellyfish flying into the distance, and Lin thought that maybe the swimmers were chased by the jellyfish before, and their attacks from above were only suitable for dealing with those large creatures, but this kind of 'meteorite' was not a threat to the ark at all.

Wait, what's that?

Lin saw a dazzling light suddenly appear in the sky, and among the jellyfish group, one of the jellyfish was directly concentrated by this light, and instantly let out a violent scream, and then fell from the sky.

It's ...... A real meteorite!

"Goo!" The swarm of jellyfish let out a scream, and all the jellyfish immediately scattered around, but then the sky appeared more bright, and they fell straight from the sky at an unparalleled speed, and several meteorites broke through the clouds and crashed into the sea, and the roar made the surrounding sea shake with a loud roar.

However, more roars were heard directly in the sky, and all the arks aimed their guns at the sky, and countless explosive bombs were fired one after another, blocking any meteorites that might hit the ark.

Through the calculation and observation with a special eye of the pilot, coupled with the fact that the bomb is now more perfect, Lynn can hit meteorites much faster than the bomb, and those that were not hit hit by the sea around the ark, making a violent roar, and some meteorites even hit the side of the ark, leaving a small crater in the shell of the ark.

Although the skeleton dragon and the emerald dragon in the inner layer did not know the situation, the strong loud noise also made them tremble.

This word seems inaccurate, because they don't tremble when they're afraid.

These meteorites were not very large, but they were numerous, and Lynn did not think it was necessary to stay on the surface of the sea, so the ark covered its body with transparent chitin, and inhaled a large amount of water, and quickly dived into the sea in the midst of the meteorite rain.

When the ark's body was submerged in the sea, all of them began to appear safe, and although the explosions continued to resound in the sea, no meteorite could still rush into the sea and remain powerful.

The ark did not linger, but quickly dived into the depths of the sea, stopping until it was barely visible, and then continued in the middle of the sea in the direction of the northern continent.

This meteorite ...... It gives Lynn a strange feeling, but she can't tell exactly what that feeling is.

After discovering that everything was calm, the Skeleton Dragon and the Emerald Dragon stepped out of the Ark, and they found that the Ark had entered the sea, and the sea was not as colorful as before.

Here, there is only darkness, and when you look around, there is only a gray-blue water, and only a few fish are wandering.

However, it's safe here, and Lynn plans to spend the rest of her journey in the sea, so that at least there will be more 'scenery' to see.

'Boom......' Just as Lin was thinking, a strange sound appeared on the seabed in front of her...... (To be continued......)
