"Good. That's it. Put that thing up there! Hurry up! "
Outside the Rift Valley, a large number of Skeleton Dragons gathered. They were all very busy. At the request of Jing Kuang, they were piecing together a new thing.
Although it was called a new thing, it was actually just a modification of an old one. That was … an airship.
"That's it! Put it properly. Don't forget to test it! " Jing Kuang and a few captains were constantly giving orders. Under their command, the Skeletal Dragons were building an incomparably huge … airship.
This airship was much bigger than the previous ones. It was almost 60 meters long and 40 meters wide at its widest point. Its overall shape was like a fruit of a plant called a banana. On both sides of the airship, there were two pairs of huge "fins" made of various materials from the sea, mainly seaweed and fish. As for the airship itself, it was also made of similar materials and was glued together with a kind of mucus secreted by Bubble Shrimps. The mucus was quite strong after drying, and the main reason was that it was very light.
In fact, this airship had been built a long time ago and had been towed here. Although there was a large amount of gas produced by the Space Jellyfish in the huge airbag above it, this thing was mainly flown by one creature.
That was the huge Space Jellyfish.
The Space Jellyfish was not in the airbag, but in the "cabin" below, wrapped in a layer of seaweed and tied up with many ropes.
Now, this Space Jellyfish was in a state of deep sleep, not because of a lack of oxygen, but because it had inhaled some kind of smoke. When Jing Kuang was building the airship. He had been trying to find a way to use this Space Jellyfish. Finally, he found a kind of plant that could make the Space Jellyfish in a state of "drowsiness."
Then, it became what it was now. This Space Jellyfish originally lived in the pool above the castle, but Jing Kuang asked the Skeleton Dragons to tie many ropes to the jellyfish's tentacles. This way, when the jellyfish rose into the air, it could not fly out. At this time, the Skeleton Dragons would release smoke to knock it out. Then, a large number of Skeleton Dragons would drag it to the surface and start building the airship's basket on it.
The Space Jellyfish was not hostile to the Skeleton Dragons. It was a wonderful place.
In fact, it could no longer be considered a gondola. It was more like a 'flying boat.' However, Jing Kuang did not give it a special name. Although it looked very large, it was actually more like a layer of shell wrapped around a large jellyfish. Therefore, it was very light. With an additional air sac, this huge object could easily fly high into the sky.
"Do you know that if you want to defeat a big monster, you have to be bigger than it first?" Jing Kuang said loudly. It was a very unreasonable principle. However, the skeletal dragons moved even faster. They were hoisting some huge weapons into the airship using air bags. Then, he assembled it.
These weapons were called "ballistas," which were actually enlarged arrows. There were eight of them installed at the head, sides, and tail of the airship. The three-meter-long arrows were made of a large fish bone.
The White Skeleton Dragons were adjusting the ballista cannons. They could move left and right, up and down to better aim at the target.
"This is very good." Jing Kuang looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He climbed onto the airship along the rope. At this time, the White Skeleton Dragons had almost finished assembling all kinds of things.
"Then it's time to set off," Jing Kuang said. "Let's show them my weapons. Captain, get all the dragons ready!"
"Ga!" The White Skeleton Dragon, who was called the captain, immediately ran to gather the dragons. Many soldiers climbed onto the airship. They had all been through a lot of training and could be considered the most elite group of troops.
There were a total of 100 dragons in this group. They climbed onto the airship and stood in their own positions. Other than them, there were some other White Skeleton Dragons who were responsible for other tasks such as paddling the fins.
Jing Kuang looked at the hot sun in the sky and felt the wind around him. He shouted, "Now … take off!"
"Ga!" The White Skeleton Dragons below the airship loosened the ropes used to hold it in place. The entire airship rose into the sky at this moment! At this time, the White Skeleton Dragons began paddling their fins. The airship began to move at an extremely slow speed towards the rift valley.
Lin found it unbelievable that this thing, which looked like it would fall apart at any time, could fly. But what was even more unbelievable was that Jing Kuang actually boarded the airship on its own. Lin thought that Jing Kuang would wait until it was completely safe before going over.
Perhaps he wanted to try out his own creation or take a look at the other side. He should know that this meant danger.
"Let's take off too!" As the huge airship took off, many White Skeleton Dragons boarded the remaining smaller airships and flew into the sky with their king.
Regardless of whether it was the large airship or the small airship, they were not very fast. Lin estimated that it would take them a long time to reach the other side …
At this time, in the sky above the forest on land, ten viper dragons were quickly flying towards the rift valley.
Among these viper knights, there was an Emerald Dragon who was the main commander of the Emerald Dragons — Mukla.
"We're mainly here to investigate the bottom of the rift valley, not to fight. Do you understand?" Mukla said to the knights around him. "Our king said that they might be living under the rift valley and are using some strange method to float up!"
"Is this … really possible? Commander? "asked an Emerald Dragon beside him.
"I don't think it's possible either, but I won't doubt our king. Our king has been to many places in the past. He's much more knowledgeable than we are … Wait, we're here."
As Mukla spoke, the dragons had reached the end of the forest in front of them. A huge rift valley appeared in front of them.
"It's those things."
The Emerald Dragons flew above the rift valley and saw that the airships were still tied to the edge of the cliff, swaying slowly with the breeze.
"What a strange structure. How did they fly?" Mukla rode his viper dragon and approached the airships. The more he looked at the airships, the more curious he was. This was because the Emerald Dragons did not know much about the hovering gas.
"Commander, look at this!" At this time, a voice came from afar. Mukla immediately flew over and saw that the other nine Emerald Dragons were surrounding the cliff. The edge of the cliff was covered in blood and some White Skeleton Dragon carcasses. There was a thigh bone of some unknown creature stuck in the carcasses …
"This is the work of the dwarves …" Mukla looked at the tragic situation and said, "It seems that they were hiding here and were attacked by the dwarves. Whatever, let's go down to the bottom of the rift valley and take a look!"
