The shining ship flew above the mountains surrounded by clouds. Lin's field of vision was filled with floating white creatures. They were like clouds that swayed around the ship. Occasionally, they would approach and then quickly run away. She admired them and enjoyed the time in the air.
Lin's original position, which was where she found the ship, was called the 'bottom layer of the sea of clouds'. It was about one hundred to two hundred meters above the ground. It seemed that the microorganisms inside were adjusting the weight of the sea of clouds to maintain its height.
Above the 'bottom layer of the sea of clouds', there was another layer of sea of clouds. Let's call it the 'top layer of the sea of clouds'. It was also about two hundred meters above the bottom layer. Many creatures lived between the two layers of clouds. There were also 'cloud mountains' formed by the rising sea of clouds, plains, and so on.
The sea of clouds was not continuous. There were many holes or cracks in the middle. Running on it casually could lead to falling to one's death.
The environment here was quite interesting. Usually, the clouds were a few hundred meters to a few kilometers thick. However, the sea of clouds was only a few dozen meters thick. There were no common clouds gathered here. Lin did not know if it would rain here. Also, why was the forest below able to maintain its humidity?
So far, Lin had not seen any storms or anything like that. These questions required a lot of research.
However, they did maintain a wonderful environment. Atmospheric creatures were the main inhabitants, but there were also some multicellular creatures living here.
During the journey on the ship, Lin saw many sky creatures. For example, the 'moth' that was floating around, the 'cloud grass' that grew on the clouds, and a large creature that was about one hundred meters away from the ship. Lin called it the 'Sky Devourer'.
This creature was about fifteen meters long. It had an olive-shaped body. Its mouth was like a big hole. Now, it was pressing its mouth against an eight-meter-long sky whale. Through its transparent body, one could see the internal organs of the sky whale being sucked into its mouth. No matter how hard the sky whale struggled, it could not escape.
In the end, only a layer of transparent skin was left of the sky whale.
There was no lack of terrifying carnivorous creatures here. After swallowing the sky whale, the 'Sky Devourer' swelled up and slowly floated away.
It seemed that there were many interesting sights here, so Lin did not want to fly too fast. However, Lin still remembered the scream of the white skeleton dragon.
What was it for? Although she was curious, Lin didn't try to save it. The fact that spies couldn't fly was one of the reasons, and this ship couldn't possibly catch up to them …
However, Lin felt that the relationship between these dragons was not that complicated …
Perhaps due to certain reasons, Jing Kuang's descendants were divided into two groups when it first came here. One group's skin turned silver, forming the current Silver Armored Dragon. There was also a group of White Skeleton Dragons that maintained their original skin color.
Then, the White Skeleton Dragon was a species that was closer to the Guides. They could command the Silver Armored Dragon or be responsible for conveying the will of the guide.
These White Skeleton Dragons might be speaking the original language, but the Silver Armored Wyrm had formed a new language. Speaking the original language was taboo among the Silver Armored Wyrms, so Lin's previous spy was attacked when he spoke the original language.
The reason for their separation was unknown, and Lin also discovered that the 'guide' did not become their worshipper with a new identity, but rather disguised himself as their 'creator' to be worshipped by these dragons.
These dragons talked about their 'creator' all the time, so it was easy to find out what they worshipped.
However, it seemed that the Silver Armored Dragons were now suspicious of this. They believed that they could only find their true creator in the land of the creator, so they 'betrayed' the White Skeleton Dragons and planned to send their army to the land of the creator.
They could indeed find the remains of their creator there.
There was also a large group of crazy creatures …
Lin was now close to the sea of clouds above. This sea of clouds looked the same as the sea below, but the moisture and gas content inside were probably different, which was why they could maintain such a special height.
Under the sea of clouds, the spy steered the ship to fly slowly. Lin felt that they couldn't directly rush into the sea of clouds, so they should find a crack or something before flying up …
There were many plants here, and many green seaweed-like creatures dangled below the sea of clouds. Some of these plants were more than ten meters long, so the spy had to lower the ship's altitude, or the propeller might get stuck.
That was …
Suddenly, Lin saw a place not far ahead under the sea of clouds where these plants didn't grow. It was probably a hole that they could fly up.
Bam! When Lin got close, a creature suddenly came out of the hole. As soon as it saw the shiny ship, it immediately rushed over and kept making a buzzing noise …
This creature was like a ball with a diameter of more than three meters, and there were neat rows of small holes on both sides of its body. The sound came from these holes. It approached the spy on the ship from above, and when it got close, its whole body suddenly opened with a bang, instantly wrapping the spy inside.
But in the next second, it let go of the spy and flew away as if it was escaping.
The spy could produce some sex hormones, but there were indeed many carnivorous creatures here. This ship didn't have any weapons, so if a large creature appeared, it could destroy the entire ship.
The ship slowly flew under the hole from before. The spy pulled the control lever, and the ship rose into the hole filled with thick fog.
The spy's vision was covered by a large amount of fog. He opened his mouth and inhaled the fog, so he could check the state of the microorganisms inside. There weren't many types of microorganisms in the fog, but there were still enough of them.
Lin felt that there was a type of microorganism that was very special. They might be a division of labor, adjusting the weight of the entire sea of clouds and the environment at a uniform pace …
While thinking, the spy's vision lit up. The ship had already risen above the sea of clouds.
The moment it rose, the spy saw that the sky was still covered by a thick layer of fog … It seemed like there was another layer of clouds above this layer?
If that was the case, this place couldn't be called the upper layer, but the 'second layer'.
Lin didn't know how many layers there were in the sea of clouds, but she felt that it couldn't be too high. If it was too high, the fog would turn into small ice crystals, unsuitable for living creatures.
Unless … it could heat up the entire cloud layer.
In any case, it was better to explore the second layer first.
The environment here … was very similar to the first layer. The spies were looking everywhere. Now, the ship was flying above a plain in the sea of clouds. There were many Atmosphere Slimes floating here. In the distance, there was a group of caterpillar-like creatures nibbling on the clouds …
Lin noticed that the atmospheric slimes here all had a shiny object inside their transparent bodies. It seemed to be a crystal, perhaps the slimes were using this crystal to replenish their energy?
Lin noticed a large group of Slimes gathered in one place, seemingly eating something. When the spy's ship approached, the Slimes immediately scattered in fear. At the same time, Lin also saw a short white creature lying on the sea of clouds.
This was … a sky jellyfish.
The spy stopped the ship in the sea of clouds and jumped down to take a closer look. The sky jellyfish was white, but other than that, it was exactly the same as other jellyfish.
It wasn't strange for a sky jellyfish to appear in the sea of clouds, but the spy noticed the wound on the jellyfish's body. It didn't seem to be caused by a slime, but by something else …
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the spy felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a sharp object protruding from his chest.
I was actually ambushed … I should've kept my sound detection on. Earlier, Lin felt that the armor was a hindrance, so she took it off and threw it on the ship …
The spy took a closer look and found that a spear-like object had pierced through his chest. Although she didn't see anything suspicious in the surroundings, Lin heard some noises …
"What do you mean it's fine?" "I don't know!" "Throw it again!" "Wait, it's noticed us!"
Lin heard the sound coming from not too far away and walked over.
"Caw!" Just as the spy approached the target, three pure white dragons suddenly jumped out of the thick fog on the ground. They didn't have any armor, but they each held a strange spear and carried a few on their backs.
So that's how it is. These Skeleton Dragons really lived in the sky.
"Caw! You! " One of the Skeleton Dragons spoke to the spy in the language of the Silver Armored Dragons. Lin could tell that its pronunciation wasn't very good. "Why did a low-level Silver Dragon like you come here?"
"Low-level dragons are forbidden here, even if you won the trial!" Another Skeleton Dragon said. "Now, you must …"
"Must what?" The spy took a step forward, and the Skeleton Dragons immediately retreated in fear. "Caw … Don't come over!"
They seemed to be very afraid of the spy, mainly because the spy had a spear in his chest, but he seemed to be fine. These dragons were usually very afraid of things that they thought were dead, but could still move. This was an interesting thing ….
The weakness of a spy was usually completely different from the creature it was disguised as. It was useless to blow up the head or the heart. After being pierced, the blood vessels could immediately be reconnected and continue to move. It was only dangerous if there was a lot of bleeding.
"Where do you live?" the spy asked the Skeleton Dragons in the Skeleton Dragon language.
"How dare you speak our language!" As if anger had overcome fear, a Skeleton Dragon raised its spear and stabbed at the spy.
The spy immediately dodged the spear and rushed up at the same time …
Not long after.
"Caw …" The Skeleton Dragons fell to the ground. Although they weren't dead, they couldn't move. The spy was looking in a direction to the north …
It seemed that the Skeleton Dragon community was over there. Floating astronomy.
