155. Atmospheric spiders
The first thing to feel is the darkness.
From the small window, there was endless darkness outside.
There was no wind, no rain, no lightning, and even the thunder fell silent.
Qiao Twilight thought of some scenes in science fiction movies sailing through the universe, it was the boundless darkness, even the nearest star was several light years away, and in the company of the stars, human beings would show great loneliness.
In the clouds, not even the stars are visible.
"We're going to get through the clouds as quickly as possible, because it's going to be fast, and maybe we're going to be distracted."
Noah said.
It was the first time he had actually entered the Veil of the World, but at this moment he knew very well that the clouds were not as quiet as they were now, and that thunder, monsters, undercurrents, and all kinds of possible dangers were gathered here, and one carelessness was enough to die here.
If in Qiao Dui's world, ships sail all rely on radar and positioning, in the wind and rain, it is difficult to avoid danger by relying on vision alone, but in the Valley of the Wind, there is no radar, no satellite navigation, everything can only rely on the intuition of the helm.
But it's good to have Qiao Dui.
His gaze swept over the dark clouds outside the small window.
[It's a shy guy, don't go near it, unless you want to be crispy and numb, stay here forever!] 】
[Do you want to go to the other side of the storm, bravely ride this air current, you will have a wonderful journey like never before!] 】
[Beware, it won't notice the little things underneath you, you'd better take a detour!] 】
Just as Qiao Twilight looked up and saw the crimson text jumping out of the black clouds, suddenly, Noah controlled the hull of the ship to descend, causing a jolt in the cabin.
"What's wrong?"
Enya immediately leaned against the wall and asked a little nervously.
"There's something on it just now, whatever it is, it's best to avoid it."
Noah explained.
Sailing in the darkness that you can't see is the best thing to do without encountering anything.
The dark-haired girl Enya peeked through the small window, although she didn't see anything, but she could feel that there seemed to be a huge object in the dark black clouds, if this floating boat accidentally collided with it, it would inevitably destroy the ship, and everyone fell into this endless sea of clouds together.
Silence and silence crept through the cabin.
Enya was about to retract her gaze, but just as she turned her head slightly, something hit the floatship.
Smack-
The thing hit the hull of the ship under the small window, making a loud noise, which made Enya's whole person tremble, and she subconsciously screamed.
"Stand back."
Noah screamed.
Qiao Du immediately went up to check, but saw nothing.
Only the words that were bright red as blood appeared next to the small window.
[You can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, the eight-legged little thing has already gotten in!] 】
"Atmospheric spiders?"
Although Qiao Twilight couldn't see anything, the bright red text made up the shape of a palm-sized spider, squirming and crawling through the small window, towards the corner of the wall.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the bright red text.
Originally, Qiao Du thought that the atmospheric creatures could not touch it, but when he actually pinched the thing, he could feel that there seemed to be a wind blowing in his palm.
Qiao Du has seen a joke before, saying that when he puts his hand out of the window in a car at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it is the soft touch of the girl's fragrance, he doesn't know if it's true, anyway, the wind in his hand now looks like an insect.
The atmospheric spider was caught by Qiao Dui, and the eight legs composed of bright red words kept stirring, looking very terrifying.
But the others couldn't see it, and it only felt like Qiao Du was holding something.
"What's that?"
Enya palpitated and looked at the air in Qiao Dui's hands.
"Oh, spiders aren't insects, that's fine."
Qiao Du grabbed the atmospheric spider in his hand and looked at Ah Xin.
"Is there a jar?"
Hongdao does not have the conditions for firing glass, and there are only clay pots made of clay, which were used to hold water before, but now there are two empty ones.
Ah Xin took one for Qiao Dui, although she couldn't see the wriggling atmospheric spider, but thinking that Qiao Du did this, there must be a reason for him, so she didn't ask much.
Qiao Du stuffed the atmospheric spider made of red text into the jar and sealed the mouth of the clay pot.
"It's an atmospheric spider, Noah should know it very well."
"Atmospheric spiders?"
Noah glanced at the jar, which was concentrating on piloting the floatship, and immediately withdrew his gaze.
"These things live in storms and feed on other atmospheric creatures, and they are not harmful to people, but they increase the weight of the float for no reason, and it is generally difficult to notice."
He didn't know how Qiao Du saw the atmospheric creature, and he didn't know why he had to put it in the jar, but it was just a small spider anyway, and it didn't have much effect.
"Rich."
Qiao Du finally caught an atmospheric spider, and naturally he was going to sell it.
It's just that he can't open the Chosen One Mall during the mission, and he has to find a way to bring it back.
This halfway episode eased the atmosphere in the cabin a lot, and Noah saw that the clouds ahead seemed to be much brighter.
"We're really going into the storm."
As he spoke, the next moment, the small windows around the cabin suddenly lit up.
A commotion came from all directions, like the roar of machinery, and as the sound became louder, a chill spread from those small windows.
"The wind is blowing."
Xin smelled the dampness in the air, and she looked at the window in front of her.
Boom –
A thunderbolt fell right from the side, lighting up the whole world.
Through the small window, they saw that behind the clouds, there was a stormy world.
The canopy was obscured by the high-speed, thunderous cumulonimbus clouds, the torrential rain obscured the vision, and the wind was howling, like the whimper of a wronged soul, coming in through the small window, causing the temperature in the cabin to drop a lot suddenly.
Twilight quickly closed the other small window shutters, leaving only the one above the rudder for Noah to observe.
Boom –
Another thunderbolt fell around the float, accompanied by a strong wind, which forced the ship to tip to one side, but fortunately the contents of the cabin were fixed and would not fly around.
The two girls grabbed the handle on the inner wall and squatted down, keeping their center of gravity.
Qiao Du stood directly in the cabin, he could communicate with his body and maintain his balance.
By the way, Qiao Dui is still chatting with the atmospheric spider in the jar and making friends, although the other party can't make a sound, Qiao Du feels that they are already good friends.
"It said, 'We'd better speed up, the big one is coming.'"
"Big?"
Enya clutched the wooden handle, even feeling like she was going to break it off.
Although Noah had some faint feelings, he didn't see anything between the falling thunder.
Despite this, the trust in Qiao Du made Noah speed up.
In the midst of the strong winds, the float accelerated crookedly, facing the torrential rain.
In an instant, from the rain curtain behind the floatboat, a large mouth of blood emerged.
