Chapter 2: The First Arrival in the Sky
Welcome to a world that belongs to the sky!!There is no complete land here, only fragmented floating islands, there is no vast blue ocean here, but there is an endless sea of sky and clouds that breeds many powerful life species!
At the beginning of heaven and earth, heaven and earth merged into one, and it was called chaos. After endless years, an ancient giant Pangu God came out and divided the world into two, dividing heaven and earth. Since then, there has been a sky realm and a land realm.
In the year 3333 of the Sky Calendar, the Terrans migrated to the Sky Realm overnight. It is here that the land takes root, prosperes, and creates a sky civilization that belongs to mankind. And our story begins with an inconspicuous floating island in the sky. It was the eastern end of the war-torn Huaxu Kingdom, the front line of mankind's fight against aliens.
The eastern part of Huaxu Kingdom, near the sea of clouds in the sky, is a large floating island numbered 101, and the Valley of Ashes.
Located at the eastern end of the Empire's territory, Ember Dale is the Empire's bridgehead against the Sea Clan's creatures. The Valley of Ash is known as the City of Steel, and its underground mineral resources are abundant, most of which are coal, bauxite, and iron. Coal resources are unique, famous for coal production, known as the "hometown of Wujin".
At this time, the sky over the Valley of Ashes was covered with a black-blue night, and it was late at night. The stars are like buckets, densely packed like a basin called "Night", the stars are shining and bright. A bright moon as large as a millstone hung quietly in a corner of the sky.
There was a moon tonight, and the soft and quiet moonlight shrouded the entire valley of ashes in a quiet night. The Valley of Ashes is known for its mineral deposits. It was late at night, but the mine in the distance was still lit with a bright red glow. Tonight is calm, and the sea of clouds in the sky, which used to be like a raging beast, is rarely dormant. There were not many such calm and peaceful nights, and the miners were mining frantically with all their strength.
On a dark and rugged gangue mountain, a delicate little boy stood quietly on the top of the mountain. The boy was about six years old, and in the deep darkness, the boy's pupils were like stars in the night, emitting a faint light in the darkness. The sky was bright and moonlit, and there seemed to be bursts of moonlight falling on the boy from above the nine heavens, but if you looked closely, these moonlights were faintly gathered on the boy's chest.
Through the neckline of his shirt, the imprint of a lifelike key was visible on the boy's chest. The imprint is very*real, as if it were real. However, the strange thing is that when the silver moonlight in the sky fell, it seemed to be attracted, and it involuntarily floated to the chest, burrowed in, and disappeared. It's bizarre.
The boy is Charles, who has been in the sky for six years. Charles, picking up coal.
Gangue is a waste slag mixed in the coal seam, which is piled up on the ground to form mountains of gangue over time. In the dumped gangue is naturally mixed with lumps of coal cores.
However, it is not an easy task to find coal and stone that can be sold in the heavy waste gangue. The ratio of gangue to coal is not one in a thousand, and it is difficult to find a coal stone that can be used in a thousand pieces of gangue, otherwise there will be countless gangue that will be abandoned and piled up over time.
The gangue mountain is extremely steep, and the gangue is angular and sharp. If you accidentally lose your center of gravity and fall down the dangerous slope, even if you don't die, you will be cut by heavy gangue and bruised and bleed profusely.
Charles was young but fearless, standing quietly on the top of the mountain. A small face is tense, and a pair of eyes radiate a sharp light. Charles held his breath slightly, repelling the thick, pungent smell of sulfuric acid from his face. This is a toxic gas naturally emitted from gangue. Coal pickers usually have a short life, because even if they are careful not to fall off the gangue mountain for the rest of their lives, they will die from chronic poisoning.
The Shire's body is not yet fully immune to this toxic gas.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes that had been patrolling for a long time seemed to have finally spotted their prey!
Hunched over and squatting, with a little right foot, Charles's whole body leaned forward as hard as he could, almost bending at ninety degrees, and maintaining a parallel posture with the ground!
Charles's thin figure suddenly galloped up on the hundred-meter-high gangue mountain, his eyes were like torches, and his face shone with a terrifying light!
Suddenly, "Drink!" Charles exhaled like thunder, and with a loud shout, his toes thrust heavily into a mountain of gangue. As soon as the force was exerted, several stones on the surface flew up in the air, but on closer inspection, several dull and dull gangue stones were mixed with a stone with a dark luster! It was coal and stone! Charles's left foot was like a stake, and his right foot was on tiptoe, like a spiritual snake, and he flipped over little by little, snapping, kicking away all the useless gangue around him, and the last coal stone was kicked into the basket prepared on the ground like a football from a height of 100 meters. The basket was stacked with thick rags.
One into the hole! Chardon rises in pride!
With his feet on the ground, Charles's body slipped to the right back like flowing water, and in the observation just now, there should also be a piece of coal here! Charles concocted the same way, and the whole person was like a big bird, flashing flexibly in the gangue mountain, and it was very violent!
Charles's figure flickered constantly, and the figure of a six-year-old child was as agile as a monkey for a while, and as unpredictable as a ghost for a while, very weird. As Charles's figure flickered in the gangue mountain, the moonlight in the sky seemed to be moved, and it was slowly and inaudibly injected into Charles's body like a hundred streams returning to the river. The more moonlight is injected, the faster the charr will appear!
This is the first-order combat skill of the Moon God Department, Penumbral Moon Step!
In the dark night, the "drinking" on the gangue came and went, and soon, pieces of coal and stone with a seductive luster were piled up all over the basket. Charles stood on top of the gangue mountain, exhaling and sweating.
"3 minutes and 24 seconds, well, a little bit better. Charles looked at the baskets at the foot of the mountain and smiled slightly. The more gangue there is, the more sulfur miasma will gather, so the charr holds his breath every time he picks up coal. This can be regarded as a kind of cultivation.
The rags were already densely covered with black shiny coal, and Charles was content to pick them up one by one and put them together in one place.
After picking up coal, Charr's cultivation is not yet complete. The thin body picked up the coal bag and walked towards a small path. In a few minutes, the vision suddenly opened up! All the gangue, the coal mountain suddenly resigned, all the black, gray, dark and unpleasant things were thrown behind, and what appeared in front of Charles was the miracle of nature!
