988 Arad.

A full year and three months after the fall of the Lord of Light.

Layers of white clouds swirl at your feet, and flocks of geese in a herringbone fly at your feet.

From here, the continent of Arad looks like a huge and irregular chessboard, with the snow-capped Ston Mountains, the charred but rejuvenated Greenwoods, the distinct kingdom of Belmar, the vast Delos Empire, and the blue, pearl-necked West Coast of Faroe Bay......

This is a view that can only be overlooked from the highest heavenly dome.

This is the sea of the sky, above the clouds, tens of thousands of meters above the Arad continent.

Not to mention the birds of prey that are the best at flying, even if it is an awakened pterodactyl, it will not be able to rise to this height.

The turbulent winds and currents at a height of several thousand meters, the vacuum isolation zone at a height of 10,000 meters, and the magic vortex at a height of 15,000 meters are all natural barriers that completely transcend the limits of individuals, completely isolating the new world realm of the Sea of Sky from the Arad continent.

It is the ocean above the sky, the sea born of the sky itself.

But such an environment isolated from the Nether is not a quiet and peaceful paradise, on the contrary, it is full of life, full of noise, and full of struggle.

In the midst of the hurricane above the clouds, an open airship with a streamlined shape and a length of more than 40 meters was moving at full speed in the air.

Its sharp bow lined up the white waves, and the white track raised by the stern also made a striking mark on the blue sea.

And in front of this airship, in the early morning mist, under the golden sun, a group of flying whales with three teams of huge finned wings on their sides were constantly flapping their wings, desperately trying to escape.

It's a whaling boat.

Originally, at the speed of a large whaling boat with a length of 40 meters, it was difficult to catch those nimble six-winged flying whales, and there was only one chance for the engine to explode, and there was only one chance for the shooter to shoot.

But this time, the captain of the whaling boat, named "Breaking Waves", thought that he was more than 80% sure that he would be able to catch this high-priced whale species.

There was no him, just because there was a young passenger on this boat.

At this moment, the passenger stood on the bow deck of the ship, motionless in the symphony of hurricanes and broken waves, looking ahead like a statue.

The traveler was dressed in a leather suit so common in the Sea of the Sky, and wore two ancient swords at his waist, but nothing else.

It's just that even if the clothes are simple and the weapons are simple, they still can't hide the iron-blooded and domineering aura emanating from the well-proportioned body, and the eyes that are as black as stars and seem to be able to generate electricity in the void make people involuntarily feel a kind of awe from the heart.

This mysterious and powerful traveler was on board a week ago.

At the time, the Breaking Wave was sailing on the edge of a large storm area, trying to find some dying and valuable sperm whales that had been thrown out of the inner circle by the storm. Unexpectedly, I saw a single-seater pioneer boat that was almost falling apart from the sky, and without saying hello, it was planted on the deck of the Breaking Waves, and then, a black shadow rolled out of it, which is the current passenger.

Although at first, the irascible Captain Dragonman was furious at the loss of the deck, but then, the passenger casually shot down three thick-skinned sperm whales, which immediately caused the captain's attitude to take a 180-degree turn.

You must know that this is a sperm whale, if you take it to the Yunhai Market to sell, you can buy half of the whaling boat!

At this moment, in the eyes of the dragon man captain, this is what kind of troublemaker, it is simply the God of Wealth who fell from the sky.

So, along the way, the captain was responsive to the passenger's needs, and even the scheduled whaling route was directly changed, and in return, the traveler also shot down dozens of unlucky flying whales several times in a week.

Both sides can be said to take what they need.

However, if this dragon man captain knew that the passenger on his ship was the same person who had been spreading in the Sky Sea for the past year, the "human leader from the Netherworld" and "Sky City Lord" Midi Asrex, how would he feel?

"Young friend, it's your turn!" Captain Dragonman shouted at the top of his voice, after eye-checking the distance between him and the Serap.

"Good. Midi didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

The next moment, he picked up a huge harpoon five meters long, and did not put it in the bed crossbow, just held it with one hand, then took a few steps back slightly, and then rushed forward, his arm shook violently, and in an instant, he threw the harpoon out of the harpoon in a perfect throwing position.

A cold light pierced through the sky, and the harpoon flew out of the sky at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, piercing a six-winged flying whale with great accuracy, until the moment the harpoon passed through the body, a loud sonic boom finally hit everyone's eardrums.

This is a thunderous blow that surpasses the barrier of sound!

However, it's not over yet.

After the fork was gone, Midi did not stop for half a minute at all, but threw three harpoons in succession, like a cloud of water in the same air, and shot three whales again, and then finally stopped.

Witnessing this incomparably precise technique, there was a sudden burst of noisy and enthusiastic cheers on the entire whaling boat.

Just like their compatriots who were banished to Sky City, dragonmen are always the most enthusiastic and revered strong, and the strength shown by Midi has far surpassed that of ordinary awakened people, at least at the level of masters, and many people speculate that he is a perfect awakened person, and it is natural to get this level of applause from these dragon crew members.

The four six-winged whales were quickly dragged back to the airship, and the experienced crew immediately spread out their tools on the deck and began to dissect them on the spot, quickly dismantling the whale's massive body and preserving it in different ways.

It was a good harvest, and the deck was filled with all sorts of relaxed teasing and laughing.

However, in the next moment, all the sounds disappeared, and the deathly silence descended in an instant, making the atmosphere on the entire whaling boat seem to be frozen.

The dull thunder like the beat of a drum rang out from far and near.

The elemental wind, with a hint of the power of thunder and lightning, whistled over the sea of clouds.

The sky was overcast at this moment, the sun was obscured by pitch-black shadows, and at the end of the line of sight, a huge black storm like a curtain of heaven was rolling over the distant horizon.

The black storm was like an upside-down galaxy, straight into the sea of clouds, forming a huge whirlpool. Although the distance between him and the whaling ship was actually thousands of kilometers, the moment he saw the storm, even the always strong dragonman couldn't help but have a trace of irrepressible fear in his eyes.

"That's the big storm zone. Midi looked at the black storm that filled the sky and said thoughtfully, "I don't know what kind of world is inside the black storm. ”

"Young friend, I advise you not to think about entering the Great Storm Zone. Captain Drake glanced at Midi and shuddered, "That black storm is a monster, for thousands of years, I don't know how many airships, tribes and even those floating islands in the sea of clouds have been devoured, no one has ever been able to come out of it alive!"

"Relax, I'm just asking. Midi smiled and shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

Of course, it can't be just a casual question.

With Midi's current identity, how could he really just come out for a stroll, or a private visit to Weifu to experience the whaling life of dragons?

He had only one purpose, which was to enter the core of this sea of clouds in the sky, the Great Storm Zone.

It can even be said that from the end of 986 in the Arad calendar to the spring of 988 in the Arad calendar, Midi has been preparing for such a goal for more than a year!

If you want to ask what is the reason, the reason is simple, because in the Great Storm Zone, there is the best part of the sky and the sea.

The purest demon veins, the most crystal crystals, the rarest thousand-year-old medicinal materials, the most powerful skills, and even the best floating islands one after another, these resources are all in the Great Storm Zone. Midi, who is a reborn, knows this best.

It can be said that only after entering the Great Storm Zone can you really touch the most valuable part of the Sky Sea.

If you don't want to make progress, you always wander around the periphery, and compete with the various races of the sky and sea for that limited resource, it is meaningless, and it will only slow down the development speed of Belmar!

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and in the twenty years of the previous life, this truth, Midi could not be clearer. Don't look at the current Belmar is a very good scenery, three extraordinary awakened people are in charge, and even the invincible Delos Empire has to bow its head, but in a few years, if there is no development, it is likely to decline, surpassed by other forces, and more likely, it will be directly wiped out by the strong people from the Heavenly Realm, the Demon Realm and other places!

Therefore, Midi is unwilling to stop, and does not dare to stop, only continuous development and becoming stronger is the only way to victory.

It's just that how easy is it to enter the big storm zone?

In the previous life, from the opening of Sky City, entering the Sky Sea of Clouds, to entering the Great Storm Zone, it took the adventurers of the Arad Continent a full seven years!

Seven years!

It wasn't until 994 Arad, when the airship skills had matured, that the adventurer was able to rely on the protection of a heavy armored cruiser to enter the Great Storm Zone, where he found a large number of resources, as well as the legendary and incredible beast of the Heavenly Veil.

Obviously, Midi couldn't wait seven years.

However, in just over a year, it was only enough for the Belmar Kingdom to gain a foothold in Sky City, but it was not enough to transform the technique of the "single-seat pioneer boat" into the technique of "heavy armored cruiser".

In fact, even with the alchemist Norton and the genius designer Wells here, Belmar's skills are still a lot behind the inhabitants of the sky and sea of clouds.

For example, the seemingly ordinary whaling boat at the feet of Midi, this forty-meter-long big guy, is not something that Belmar can build.

At this stage, the adventurers from Arad, the main thing to do, is to try to catch up with these existing techniques, or to develop, or borrow, or ...... Cottage, but definitely not beyond.

And since even these Yunhai natives didn't dare to approach the Great Storm Zone, how could Belmar's airship do this?

Therefore, Midi decided to hide his sensitive identity as the city lord of Sky City, and explore the world realm in the sky and sea of clouds alone to see if there was any other way to knock on the door to the Great Storm Zone.
