"Gah! I finally did it! Did you know? I did it! "
This place was located at the edge of the sky. There was brilliant sunlight and endless cloud plains. The spy walked on top of the soft 'cloud layer' and looked at the Silver Armored Dragon not far in front of him, who was running wildly with excitement.
Lin also felt a little excited because she didn't expect there to be such a rich variety of species within the 'cloud layer' …
The clouds here should be some kind of gelatinous substance used by some kind of creature to seal in a large amount of water. However, in order to ensure its floatability, it was mixed with a large amount of light gas. This type of substance could allow a large number of creatures to live in it.
It could also allow a silver armored dragon to run around on top of it …
Moreover, the most important thing was that this' cloud layer 'seemed to have more than one layer.
If one looked up, they could see a thick layer of glowing clouds, just like what they saw on the ground.
Above the 'cloud layer', there was always a large amount of fog floating, so it looked like clouds as a whole.
The fog might be the excess water released by them. However, Lin still had a question as to why they had so much water. Was it all collected from the air? Because the airflow in the air was very unstable …
"Gah —!"
Suddenly, a scream came from in front of Lin. She saw the silver armored dragon running on top of the cloud layer fall down.
Lin walked to its location and found that there was no soft cloud layer here, but a hole filled with fog.
So that's how it is. Perhaps the cloud layer wasn't a single piece. Lin felt that there might be many gaps or holes between them. Perhaps this cloud layer was formed by many scattered clouds.
This way. If one ran around on top of it, they might fall down. Because it was filled with fog. It was impossible to see where the edges or gaps were.
It was a pity that this silver armored dragon was the last one … No, it seemed to still be …
"Gah!" The sound once again appeared in the spy's hearing. As the sound got closer and closer, the cloud layer in front of Lin suddenly exploded with a bang!
A huge creature rushed out of the clouds. Its body was streamlined, and it was about 13 meters tall. It was like a fish leaping out of the sea. As the drifting clouds flew over the spy's head and fell into the cloud layer, several pieces of the cloud layer were also ejected as it fell.
So the sea of clouds could be separated? Moreover, it seemed like the water inside would not leak out. Lin did not see any water splash out at all. Instead, it was a sea of clouds that bounced out.
This creature was transparent and was clearly an atmospheric creature. Lin also noticed that the silver-armored dragon was lying on top of this creature's head.
Looks like it's still alive, but I can't be sure if it's safe …
Boom! The creature jumped out of the sea of clouds again and landed on top of the sea of clouds. It waved its flat tail and slowly moved forward on the clouds, as if it was sucking in the fog produced by the sea of clouds.
This creature. Let's call it the 'Sky Whale'. Lin had never seen a 'whale' before, but she knew that it was a very large creature.
The Heavenly Whale had the characteristics of common atmospheric creatures. It had a transparent body like a cloud, flat fins and tails, and a large mouth that seemed to be used for swallowing fog.
If there was a sea of clouds like this, then most of the creatures living on it should be able to live in the air without any contact with the ground. However, the Light Dragons and Atmospheric Slimes that Lin had seen before liked to prey on things on the ground.
The fog here was similar to the sea of clouds. There were many microorganisms mixed in it. Although there were not as many as in the sea of clouds, there was still a certain number. Most of them were light eaters because the sunlight here was very abundant. However, Lin still did not know why the clouds here were glowing.
It was not the whole cloud that was glowing. Instead, there was a strong light at a certain point. Moreover, the light was refracted by the small droplets inside, making the whole cloud brilliant and dazzling.
Lin planned to find the glowing spot and take a look. However, it was better to look at other things first. With that in mind, the spy shouted at the silver-armored dragon, "Get down here quickly."
"Caw?" The silver-armored dragon that was holding onto the back of the Sky Whale was shocked when it heard the spy's voice. It let go and rolled down from above, landing heavily on the sea of clouds.
In a place like this, no matter how hard it fell, it would not be injured.
"Caw … I was scared to death when I fell." The silver-armored dragon looked at the Sky Whale that was eating the fog behind it and quickly ran to the spy's side. "I didn't expect to fall on this creature. I've really been protected by the creator."
"Where are you going to meet the creator?" the spy asked.
"Caw?" The silver-armored dragon was stunned. It looked at the sea of clouds around it and then said doubtfully, "Yes, where are we going to meet?"
"… You don't know?" the spy continued to ask.
The silver-armored dragon said, "Caw … I've seen how to reach the bottom of the cave and obtain the creator's guidance. I thought it would lead us all the way to it."
"… Is that so?"
The spy looked at the sea of clouds around them. It was probably impossible to find anything in this place. Or … the guides were at a higher level in the sea of clouds?
The spy looked back. Previously, the spy had ascended to this position on a metal plate along the edge of a mountain. However, the mountain was not just that high. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist that extended to even higher clouds.
However, if the metal plate had risen to this position, it meant that they should have met the silver-armored dragon here.
Why hadn't they come out yet? Did they want the silver-armored dragon to run around on the clouds and then fall to its death? These silver-armored dragons had probably never come into contact with clouds, so they did not have the concept that 'clouds cannot move'.
Although the clouds could move, there were probably too many 'traps' inside.
Or, did they think that the 'spy' was very suspicious, so they did not want to come out to meet him? This was indeed possible. There was a possibility that they had been monitored on the way here. The spy had indeed done some strange things, but if they could not get close, they would definitely not be able to tell whether the spy was a silver-armored dragon or not. They could only rely on speculation.
What kind of creature was this guide? Was it one of the most intelligent creatures in the atmosphere? Or …
No matter what, it should be very capable. After all, these things that the silver-armored dragon was creating now should have been taught by them.
… In that case, forget it.
They could just run around here. Lin did not have to deliberately look for them, but … Lin could let them figure it out on their own. Floating astronomy.
