Chapter 158 - Rich Soil
Only to move against the hurricane that was transformed from natural energies and powers, and surrounded the Midland, and get into the real Midland world, had cost the gigantic turtle a whole month.
During this month, Ji Hao sat on the turtle’s neck and watched more and more gigantic creatures continuously showing up from all directions. Dragons, phoenixes, turtles, skylines, and other magical rare creature, which Ji Hao couldn’t even name.
He had also seen amazingly great scale armies, which were formed by metal ships moving forwards against the hurricane with great difficulty. From time to time, Jia Clan and Yu Clan warriors also showed up on those metal ships.
From a great distance, Ji Hao could clearly sense the proudness coming from these three-eyed and four-eyed monsters, as if they were standing high above the masses.
Different from the army that they had encountered in the boundless void, this time, those metal ships had only flown past the caravan at some distance away, without coming over and mentioning something like tax collection. Ji Hao was very much expecting these people to come over and create trouble, but got disappointed eventually.
After the turtle had completely broken through the hurricane and set its feet in the Midland world, Ji Hao felt that he definitely could use an extra pair of eyes.
In this Midland world, a lot of natural physical rules that he used to be familiar with in his previous life, didn’t work here at all. Too many magical and odd scenes had totally overturned Ji Hao’s common sense.
For example, once they had gotten into the Midland world, the gigantic turtle had walked past a sea, which was an isolated, floating see, without any seabed to hold it in. The sky-blue seawater was crystal-like. Within the sea, one could see all kinds of marine biodiverse creatures, and on the surface of the sea, islands and rocks were floating.
Countless huge fishes were swimming around and playing with each other in the water. Abruptly, a group of whales would swoosh over, after which, large schools of other fishes would diffusely flee away in fear. Some of the bigger fishes, which were very frightened, would jump above the surface of the sea. The hurricane that was blowing across the void, would then swoop them over, making them fly over the entire sea, and fall in the oceans that were on the surface of the earth.
Ji Hao had also seen that above a beautiful piece of land, thousands of green, thriving mountains were floating in a line, just like a pearl necklace formed by land.
Between those floating mountains, waterfalls crossed in the air like white, flying watery dragons; those strong, roaring watery dragons seemed to have jumped onto the next mountain from the first mountain, in a magical and unspeakable way; they would merge with more waterfall streams on the second mountain, then rush towards the next mountain.
Every time the wind blew across the watery dragon-like waterfalls, large amounts of watery mist would rise in the air and fall down on the lands while showering under the sunrays, leaving the sky above the group of islands full with rainbows.
A silvery and long bird call lingered around the ears of Ji Hao and the people of the caravan. Large flocks of beautiful white cranes, holding all kinds of ganoderma[1] within their beaks, flew across the void. These cranes had large shapes, each had a wingspan of over a hundred zhang; they slowly and leisurely flew across the void, from one piece of land to another piece of land. Beside them, tidewater alike clouds drifted by from time to time.
These cranes looked very proud and elegant when they were flying; none of them showed any panic when flying past the gigantic turtle.
Gui Three threw tens of vats of delicious booze towards the air while laughing happily, followed by which, a few old big cranes that had blood-red feathers on their heads, instantly dived down, excitedly pierced their long and sharp beaks straightly into the booze vat, and began swallowing the delicious booze. Of course, the ganoderma held in their beaks would fall down, and fought over by those happily laughing caravan guards.
