Chapter 261: Capture the Ice Spirit Bead
From the time Midi rushed into the cloud beast's body to obtain the starlight with ingenious, exquisite, sophisticated, and vicious methods, the whole process only took about ten minutes.
In fact, with Midi's current level, if he wanted to resist the extremely cold environment in the cloud beast's body, he would have been constantly slashing out his sword rays to attack, and he was still in a state of flight, so it was impossible to last for twenty minutes. At that time, even Midi, who was accustomed to gritting his teeth and persevering, was afraid that he would have to leave immediately, otherwise he would be frozen into an ice sculpture and then directly pass through the body of the cloud beast, falling all the way down the sea of clouds.
Therefore, the whole battle can be said to be smooth, without the slightest delay and procrastination.
Originally, this was a battle that did not allow for any hesitation.
It's just that for the helpless onlookers on the narwhal, these short ten minutes seem to be like a year.
Not to mention a professional like Victoria, who is not yet level 50, even for a high-level awakened person like the old butler Lund, the battle with the cloud beast is powerless.
Not to mention the psychological barriers, the fear of small humans facing the huge beasts of the mountains, even if they calm down, they have no means to fly.
The appearance of the cloud beast caused a large amount of frozen gas in the ice cloud circle to be brought out, and the surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the moisture in the air was directly condensed. The entire floating island rock is now covered with hoarfrost, the surface and deck of the steel rope and the narwhal have been hung with ice, and even the most tightly protected engine room has begun to be infiltrated with cold air, and even the empty liquid circulating in the sky ring has shown signs of freezing.
Not to mention the fragile Pioneer boats, as soon as they get out of Gnaku and come into contact with the biting cold wind outside, they are afraid that they will immediately malfunction and fall before they can fly.
In this case, the only thing Victoria and the others can do is just watch.
Time passed little by little, and everyone's hopes for Midi's victory became more and more slim.
The temperature on the narwhal several kilometers away, the temperature was so low, if you got close to the cloud beast, it was not directly below zero point? As for the temperature and situation in the cloud beast's body, it was far beyond everyone's imagination.
But one thing is certain, no matter who it is, even Midi, who can dismantle the airship alone, he will definitely not be able to fight a war of attrition with such a behemoth.
For every second passed, the odds of winning will inevitably decrease by one point.
And now, more than ten minutes have passed, and the battle is afraid that it has already ended quietly when everyone knows what to do, right?
Just as the atmosphere of despair gradually spread, the cloud beast in the distance suddenly let out a deafening roar again, and it was very rare that there was a trace of anger and even a trace of fear in this roar!
And the next moment, this huge cloud beast began to struggle violently!
If a kilometer-long monster starts to struggle, it will inevitably lead to a terrible scene like the sky is falling apart. Fortunately, this monster was only formed by the condensation of ice clouds, and its density and weight were extremely low, so the narwhal a few kilometers away was not affected.
Rao is like this, the ice and snow storm brought by the cloud beast when it churns also caused the outer wall of the ice cloud circle to collapse a large piece suddenly, and the cold wind and ice chips blown out directly blew on the narwhal, causing multiple wounds on the hull of the ship.
However, as time passed, the cloud beast's struggle became smaller and smaller, and not only that, but even the shape of its large lizard began to fade into a blur, almost like a block of ice gradually melting in the sun, and its outline quickly crumbled until it turned into an ice cloud again.
At this point, even everyone who didn't know anything about cloud beasts could guess that this battle was just decided.
"Win?" Victoria muttered to herself in a trembling voice.
"Perhaps......" said the old butler Lund, swallowing with difficulty, answering his allegiance to the young lady for the first time in such an uncertain tone, and forgetting to add an honorific title.
As for the crew on deck and in the cabin, they couldn't even shout the cheers of the rest of their lives, they could only watch blankly.
Whether it was common sense or reason, they were told that it was absolutely impossible for a mortal to defeat a cloud beast as huge as a mountain. Therefore, even if they saw this cloud beast gradually collapse and reduce to ice clouds, these aborigines of the sky and sea of clouds still did not dare to cheer, because they were afraid that once there was hope of survival in their hearts, they would feel even more pain when they were destroyed.
However, the next moment, when the golden-red sword light rose, this worry finally disappeared.
Won.
It did win.
And in just ten minutes, he defeated this huge beast!
In the whistling cold wind, looking at the sword light that broke through the air like red blood under the white sky, the crew finally let out a cheer like a ghost crying wolf, this sound was intermittent and hoarse, obviously many people's throats had already been frozen, but even so, they could easily hear the undisguised joy in it.
No one doesn't want to live, it's a simple thing.
"You're back!" Victoria rushed to the first moment Midi descended.
The eldest lady of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce has no etiquette at the moment, and the only thing she wants to do is to take a good look at this real powerhouse who has brought miracles at this closest distance.
"Ah, it's back. Midi nodded, her expression still like a waveless ancient well, without the slightest fluctuation.
There were too many cloud beasts killed in the previous life, although that was something that he would do after the level was high, compared to the challenge at level 52 now, the degree of danger cannot be compared, but after all, this is really a very process-oriented operation for Midi, so he really doesn't feel anything.
Everything has long been accustomed to nature.
But this calmness is more mysterious and majestic in Victoria's eyes.
"Lord Blade, thank you very much for saving us, and for being able to defeat that terrible cloud beast with the power of one person, presumably, you will definitely become the strongest warrior in the sky and sea of clouds in the future!" Victoria finally calmed down, and then bowed deeply.
This time, she no longer addresses Midi as "sir", but "sir", which is a kind of respect, but also a kind of recognition of Midi as a leader.
It would be a good choice to bring Victoria's power under his command in this way.
However, Midi knew exactly how much the actual combat power of the cloud beast was, and he had already decided to take the power of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce to open up the Great Storm Area together, so although Victoria, the old butler of Lund and others admired it at the moment, Midi was not willing to take this opportunity to be too public.
"Miss Victoria, I have to point out that you are exaggerating. Midi shook her head, "Once you have insight into the secrets of the Cloud Beasts, it is not difficult to kill them, the key is to find a way to cut out this thing." ”
Midi said, and with a support of her right hand, a pearl with a blue glow appeared in the palm of her hand.
This pearl is extremely huge, the size of an adult's fist, the whole body is dark blue, the cold light is restrained, and there is no trace of magic breath leaking out, however, the fluctuations transmitted from it show that the magic it contains is extremely amazing.
This is the specialty of the star ocean, where the core of the Great Storm Zone is located, and the most important factor in the birth of the cloud beast.
And this star has experienced hundreds of years of ice cloud nourishment, and it is also the consciousness of the cloud beast, at this moment, the consciousness of the cloud beast like a soul is still imprisoned in it, walking back and forth.
"Miss Victoria, this orb is called the Ice Spirit Pearl, and it is a specialty of the innermost star ocean in the Great Storm Zone, 'Astral', which was nourished by the ice cloud circle and ice clouds, and then inhabited by the consciousness of the cloud beast. Please use a double-layer magic box to store it, and then add a constant temperature magic array outside. Midi said lightly, and then, in a meaningful tone, he added, "Since this time I was going to do business on the other side of the sea of clouds, I might as well sell this orb together, I believe it should become the target of the major forces." ”
Victoria nodded silently and did not speak.
She wasn't a reborn, she wasn't an alchemist, but when she saw this ice bead, she instinctively knew that there was absolutely no water in Midi's words.
What's more, the value of this ice spirit bead may be even higher than his own ship of refined sperm whale spices!
Not only that, but with Victoria's wisdom, she has naturally heard Midi's extraneous voice-
Cloud beasts may seem terrifying, but as long as they get the hang of it, it's not difficult to kill. In fact, Midi's ability to kill the Cloud Beast in ten minutes was already a testament to the best. And the Ice Spirit Bead in the body of this cloud beast is priceless, and it is completely worth the risk.
Not only that, but if a cloud beast in the ice cloud circle had such value, then how much benefit would it be able to gain when it actually reached that star ocean inside the Great Storm Zone?
Looking at this ice bead that exuded an icy aura, Victoria suddenly fell into deep thought.
After killing the cloud beast, the temperature gradually rose again, and everyone was busy repairing the narwhal, and the remaining three hours were fleeting. Soon, the Narwhal set sail again, plunging headlong into the black clouds.
After this thrilling battle, the current black cloud circle is nothing in the eyes of everyone, and the so-called courage is frightened. Along the way, there were no mistakes or accidents, and after a few days of smooth sailing, the narwhal was finally back in the sky and clouds.
The sun returns, the white clouds are still there, of course, this is not the frozen cloud that makes people feel cold at a glance, but the most ordinary cumulonimbus cloud in the sky sea of clouds.
After being depressed for more than a week, from the darkness where you can't see your fingers, to return to this blue sky, no matter who you are, you will feel better.
It's just that this time, Victoria is a little preoccupied.
