Chapter 144 144. Shushu is so cute

It was already evening when Hongdao appeared in Qiao Mu's field of vision.

It took some time to rescue the two girls, but they finally reached their destination before nightfall.

Qiao Mu had never seen an island floating in mid-air, so when he saw the huge thing rising from the horizon, he initially thought he had encountered some monster.

This island is very large. The borders of the main island are almost invisible when viewed up close. There are several smaller islands suspended around it. Waterfalls flow from the main island and fall on the outlying islands, watering the rocks and growing green trees. .

Below the island are rugged rocks, which seem to have been ripped out of the ground, suspended above the sea of ​​clouds, abrupt, lonely, and full of an unreal feeling.

In the center of the main island is a low mountain covered with trees and a man-made building. Noah said that it was a lighthouse used to guide fishing boats hunting nearby.

"Fishing boat?"

Qiao Mu was curious, wondering what could be caught in this sea of ​​clouds.

"That's it."

Noah pointed to the sea of ​​clouds on one side.

Qiao Mu looked over and saw that a boat about the same size as the boat they were riding in was sailing at a slightly higher position. It was dragging a huge net behind it. There were many small things scurrying around in the net pocket, trying to break through the restraints.

He looked closely and found that these little things were like slightly larger rabbits, but they had wing membranes between their limbs, as if they could fly.

"Flying squirrels, they usually live not far from the island and make a living by eating atmospheric spiders."

Noah explained.

"Atmospheric Spider!"

Qiao Mu remembered this thing, but he didn't expect to actually see it.

Sure enough, many items in the God's Chosen Mall are actually home-cooked food in foreign lands. Damn profiteers know how to make the difference!

Qiao Mu decided to catch a few more atmospheric spiders and sell them if he had the chance.

"What's wrong?"

Noah didn't understand Qiao Mu's reaction.

"No, I was just wondering, can atmospheric spiders be eaten?"

Qiao Mu waved his hand.

"You shouldn't be able to eat them. I read in a book that atmospheric organisms are normally invisible and intangible. Only special animals can capture them and absorb their nutrients. I've never seen them before."

Noah touched his chin and thought.

"Some people also say that all storms are actually caused by atmospheric organisms, but we can't see them. We can only notice the wind they leave behind when they pass by."

"To be precise, according to Professor Russell, the storm itself is an atmospheric creature."

Enya, a girl with dark blond hair, added while staring at the group of flying squirrels.

"These things look pretty cute, do we really want to eat them?"

"cute?"

Noah tilted his head, not quite understanding the aesthetics of these outsiders. He was more interested in atmospheric creatures.

"Storm is also an atmospheric creature? Does that mean the World Veil may be alive?"

"There is a possibility. Professor Russell discovered through research that storm birds will produce storms when they gather together. You know storm birds, they are the earliest atmospheric creatures recognized by people. People cannot see them. , only the sharp buzzing in the wind can be heard. Hundreds of thousands of storm birds together will create a huge storm that can destroy all the buildings on an island. Professor Russell guessed that maybe the storm we saw is itself a They are atmospheric creatures, but their form of existence is different from the life we ​​know.”

Enya became interested and immediately explained.

"The strong wind is their flesh, the thunder is the spark that circulates their thoughts, and the heavy rain is their blood. Many storms only last a few days, but some exist for a long time, such as the maelstrom."

"I read in a book that it is the most prosperous place for mankind, and here we are."

Noah nodded and the ship just docked. He interrupted the conversation and focused on mooring the ship into his backyard.

Compared to humans, this island still has plenty of space. Even if there are so many more people over the years, there is still enough living space.

It can be seen that these houses are relatively low, mostly bungalows, but very spacious. They also have huge backyards, mostly planted with vegetables and fruits, and open spaces for parking floating boats.

Qiao Mu jumped off the boat and stepped on the solid ground again.

"Are you willing to come back?"

A voice came from the house. Qiao Mu looked over and saw a capable woman walking out of the house. She seemed to want to say something, but when she saw the two girls, she was immediately stuck. .

"These two are."

“It is like him who fell from heaven.”

Noah explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry. There's nothing delicious at home. It's all my fault that this guy didn't tell me in advance. Come in and sit down. Come in and sit down."

The woman immediately changed her expression and welcomed the two girls into the house.

"Does your family have a tradition of picking up people who fall from the sky and bringing them home as your wife?"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but ask, and glanced at Captain Isaac.

"My mother didn't do this before."

Noah was a little embarrassed and could only ask the two girls to go inside first.

Qiao Mu and Captain Isaac followed and walked into the room.

The furnishings in the room can be seen to be handmade, plain and simple. There are no photos, only a few portraits, on which are drawn several people who look similar to Noah, who should be the ancestors of his family.

The two girls were a little cautious, and they finally sat down until Noah's mother kept persuading them.

From Qiao Mu's point of view, the dinner was quite sumptuous, including stewed meat stewed with unknown spices, fruits with strange colors, soft rice, and fried vegetable slices.

"I don't know if it suits your taste. We are a poor place here and there is nothing good to eat."

Noah's mother greeted.

"delicious."

The girl with dark blond hair, Enya, held the bowl and replied that she was not lying. The reason was that this was already the second bowl of rice she had eaten.

"What kind of meat is this made of?"

"Flying squirrel meat."

Noah's mother replied immediately.

"."

Enya seemed a little unable to connect the cute flying squirrel with the delicious meat in the pot.

"Why, do you want more?"

Noah's mother picked up the spoon and filled another spoonful.

"OK!"

The girl immediately handed over the bowl.

After the meal, Noah's mother was busy tidying up the girls' room. Although it was a bungalow, there were many rooms in the house. There must have been several generations living under the same roof before. However, Qiao Mu didn't see Noah's father. He only arranged the rooms together. He saw a man who looked very similar to Noah in the portrait. He guessed that it might be a sad story and didn't ask any more questions.

Night fell on Rainbow Island.

Qiao Mu stood in the yard and looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with stars. A moon that was bigger than the world he was in lay across the sky, as if he could reach it.

"People in the Valley of the Wind worship the moon. In ancient legends, they believe that their ancestors came from the moon and were people in the sky."

There was a voice from behind, and Qiao Mu turned around and found that it was the black-haired girl Xida.

"oh."

Qiao Mu looked at the moon again, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xida was already standing beside Qiao Mu, both of them side by side.

"Therefore, people here believe in the Moonlight Goddess. As for whether there is really a god, no one knows."

"Where did you just say this was?"

Qiao Mu turned his head and looked at the girl.

"Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind."

Xida also looked over, and it was only then that Qiao Mu noticed that her eyes were not black, but crystal amber.

"Nice to meet you. I don't know which foreign land the chosen one comes from. As you can see, I am your enemy in this mission."

She lifted up her skirt lightly and saluted Qiao Mu.
