144. Rat rats are so cute

When Hongdao appeared in Qiao Dui's field of vision, it was already evening.

It took some time to rescue the two girls, but they finally arrived at their destination before nightfall.

Jotwi had never seen an island floating in mid-air, so when he saw the behemoth rising from the horizon, he thought he had encountered some kind of monster.

The island is so large that the main island is barely visible from close range, and there are several smaller outlying islands that cascade from the main island and fall on the outlying islands, watering the rocks and growing green trees.

Beneath the island is a jagged rock, as if it had been torn out of the ground, suspended above the sea of clouds, abrupt, and unreal.

In the center of the main island is a low hill covered with trees and a man-made structure that Noah says is a lighthouse to guide fishing boats that hunt nearby.

"Fishing boats?"

Qiao Du was curious, not knowing what could be caught in this sea of clouds.

"That's it."

Noah pointed to the sea of clouds on one side.

Jotwilight looked over and saw a boat about the size of the boat they were in was sailing a little higher, with a huge net dragging behind it, and many small things were scurrying around in its pockets, trying to break through the bindings.

He looked intently and saw that these little things looked like slightly larger rabbits, except that they had wing membranes between their limbs, as if they could fly.

"Flying squirrels, they generally live not far from the islands, and they live by eating atmospheric spiders."

Noah explained.

"Atmospheric spider!"

Qiao Du remembered this thing, but she didn't expect to see it.

Sure enough, many of the things in the Chosen One Mall are actually home-cooked food in the exotic land, and the hateful profiteers know how to make the difference!

Qiao Du decided that if he had a chance, he must catch a few more atmospheric spiders and sell them.

"What's wrong?"

Noah didn't understand Joe's reaction.

"No, I'm just thinking, can the atmospheric spider eat it?"

Qiao Du waved his hand.

"I shouldn't be able to eat it, I read the book that atmospheric creatures can't be seen or touched under normal circumstances, and only special animals can catch and absorb their nutrients, I haven't seen them anyway."

Noah touched his chin and pondered.

"It has also been said that all storms are actually caused by atmospheric organisms, but we can't see them, we can only notice the winds left behind as they pass."

"To be precise, according to Professor Russell, the storm itself is an atmospheric creature."

Enya, a girl with dark blond hair, added, staring at the flying squirrel.

"These things look pretty cute, do we really want to eat them?"

"Cute?"

Noah tilted his head, not quite understanding the aesthetics of these outsiders, but he was more interested in atmospheric creatures.

"Storms are also atmospheric creatures? That is, the Veil of the World could be alive? ”

"There is such a possibility, Professor Russell has found that storm birds produce storms when they gather together, you know storm birds, that is the earliest kind of atmospheric creatures that people recognize, people can't see them, they can only hear the sharp buzzers in the wind, hundreds of thousands of storm birds together, will create a huge storm enough to destroy all the buildings on an island, Professor Russell guessed, maybe the storm we see is itself an atmospheric creature, It's just that their form of existence is not quite the same as the life we know. ”

Enya became interested and immediately explained.

"The wind is their flesh, the thunder is the spark of their thoughts, the rainstorm is their blood, many storms have a short life of a few days, but there are also long-lasting ones, such as the maelstrom."

"I read in books, it's the most prosperous place for human beings, and here we are."

Noah nodded, and the boat was in port, and he interrupted the conversation, focusing on mooring the boat into his backyard.

Compared to humans, the space on this island is still very sufficient, even if there are so many more people over the years, there is still enough living space.

As you can see, these houses are relatively low, mostly bungalows, but they are very spacious, and there are huge backyards, mostly planted with vegetables and fruits, and an empty space for mooring floatboats.

Jotwilight jumped out of the boat, her feet on the solid ground again.

"Willing to come back?"

A voice came from the house, Qiao Du looked over, and saw a capable woman coming out of the house, she seemed to want to say something, but as soon as she saw the two girls, she immediately froze.

"These two are."

"He that falls from heaven is like him."

Noah explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry, there's nothing good to eat at home, it's all to blame for this kid not to say it in advance, you come in and sit, come in and sit."

The woman immediately changed her face and welcomed the two maidens into the house.

"Is there a tradition in your family of picking up people who fell from the sky and taking them home as wives?"

Qiao Du couldn't help asking, and glanced at Captain Isaac.

"My mom didn't do that before."

Noah was a little embarrassed, so he could only beckon the two girls to enter the house.

Jotwilight and Captain Isaac followed and walked into the room.

The furnishings in the room can be seen to be handmade, simple and simple, no photographs, only a few portraits, on which are painted a few people who look like Noah, who should be the ancestors of his family.

The two girls were a little stiff, and it was not until Noah's mother persuaded them to finally sit down.

Dinner was sumptuous from Qiao Dui's point of view, with stewed meat with spices of unknown names, strangely colored fruits, soft rice, and fried vegetable slices.

"I don't know if it's to your taste, we are a poor place here, and there is nothing to eat."

Noah's mother beckoned.

"It's delicious."

Enya, a girl with dark blond hair, replied holding the bowl that she was not lying, because it was the second bowl of rice she had eaten.

"What kind of meat is this made of?"

"Flying squirrel meat."

Noah's mother replied immediately.

“.”

Enya seemed a little unable to connect the cute flying squirrel with the delicious pieces of meat in the pot right now.

"What, do you want more?"

Noah's mother picked up the spoon and filled it with another full spoonful.

"Okay!"

The girl immediately handed the bowl over.

After the meal, Noah's mother was busy tidying up the room for the girls, although it was a bungalow, but there were many rooms in the house, and there were probably several generations in the same house before, but Qiao Du didn't see Noah's father, only saw a man who looked like Noah in the portrait placed together, he guessed that maybe it was a sad story, and didn't ask much.

Night fell on Hongdao.

Qiao Du stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, and a moon bigger than his world lay across the sky, as if within reach.

"The people of the Valley of the Wind worship the moon, and in ancient legends, they believed that their ancestors came from the moon and were heavenly people."

A voice came from behind her, and Jo Twilight turned around to find that it was the black-haired girl Hida.

"Oh."

Qiao Du looked at the moon again, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Sida was already standing beside Qiao Dui, and the two of them were side by side.

"Therefore, the people here worship the goddess of the moonlight, and no one knows if there is really a god or not."

"What did you say this is?"

Jotwilight turned her head to look at the girl.

"Valley of the Wind."

Hilda also looked over, and Qiao Twilight only noticed that her eyes were not black, but with a sparkling amber color.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I don't know which exotic Chosen One I come from, as you can see, I am your enemy on this mission."

She lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Qiao Dui.
