Chapter 116: Meet the parents of the Four Heavenly Kings?
The mysterious creature was approaching step by step. Its body was tall and mighty, and every step made the entire ground tremble. As it approached, an inexplicable sense of oppression came over me. The invisible pressure was suffocating, and even the air was frozen by this majesty.
A Lu stood there, his eyes fixed on this mysterious creature, his heart beating as fast as a drum. Although he had experienced countless battles, facing such a powerful creature, he still felt unprecedented fear.
Finally, the mysterious creature came in front of Alu. Alu looked up and saw its pair of yellow pupils, revealing endless majesty.
A Lu took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. He knew that the mysterious creature in front of him was definitely not an ordinary opponent. If he was not careful, he would probably die.
I stared at the mysterious creature as it slowly walked past me with my eyes wide open. My heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and a sense of tension instantly surged into my heart. I followed its back with my eyes, and saw it walking step by step towards the ozone grass leaf that A Lu and I had just bitten.
The mysterious creature walked to the ozone grass and slowly squatted down, as if it was feeling something with its heart. Its figure was bathed in the golden sunlight, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.
A Lu and I looked at each other, with the same surprise and curiosity in our eyes. We secretly wondered why this mysterious creature showed such a strong interest in this ozone grass.
In this strange atmosphere, time seemed to have frozen. A Lu and I decided to stay put for the time being and quietly observe the next move of this mysterious creature, hoping to find the answer from it.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The head of the mysterious creature began to swing back and forth at an alarming speed. Along with the shaking of the head, a crisp and loud chewing sound suddenly sounded, echoing for a long time in the vast sky.
I held my breath and concentrated my attention, fearing that I would miss any crucial moment. As the sound of the mysterious creature chewing became clearer and clearer, the grass leaves were easily torn apart between its teeth, the juice overflowed, and a crisp "crunch, crunch" sound was made when chewing.
The mysterious creature chewed it for a few times and then swallowed it. But then, it groaned, as if it was extremely dissatisfied with the taste of the ozone grass. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out the leaves it had just swallowed, and the residue mixed with saliva splashed on the ground.
The face of the mysterious creature showed undisguised disgust, as if it had seen something that disgusted it. The mysterious creature slowly stood up, and although its movements were a little slow, its eyes were always firmly fixed on the ozone grass.
Suddenly, without any warning, this mysterious creature suddenly leaped up, its body as fast as lightning, instantly leaving a dark shadow in the air. Then, it rushed upwards at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared in the sky.
A Lu and I stood there, staring at the direction where the mysterious creature left. Our heartbeats accelerated, and the shock made it difficult to calm down.
I slowly turned my head and my eyes fell on Alu. I saw that his face was tense and his expression was extremely serious. Even his eyes, which were always full of confidence and determination, now revealed a hint of fear that was difficult to conceal.
I couldn't help but look in the direction where the mysterious creature had just left. The voice that came out of my throat trembled a little unconsciously: "Just now...just now...what on earth was that? Was it a GT robot?"
A Lu was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "That is not a robot. Although it looks like one, it does not have the unique smell of titanium alloy of GT robots. And if it is a robot, it should be able to truly sense the smell of the operator. There is no doubt that what happened just now was a complete beast!"
My eyes widened, a look of disbelief on my face: "Is that... a unique species that originally lived in the sky?"
A Lu also frowned, staring intently ahead with an extremely serious expression: "It has a body odor that I have never smelled before. I'm afraid it is a beast from another land. Is it here to eat vegetables from the sky?"
I turned around, looked up at A Lu, frowned and said, "It just ate the ozone grass, although it spit it out."
After hearing this, Ah Lu turned around and met my gaze. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he guessed, "It's because it's rotten. Ozone grass must be eaten by two people at the same time!"
At this moment, we both looked at each other at the same time, and turned to look at the ozone grass that had just been eaten by the mysterious creature. We were surprised to find that the ozone grass was not rotten, but there were two sharp notches on the leaves, as if it had been bitten by something sharp.
Ah Lu hurried forward, his eyes fixed on the ozone grass that had just been bitten by an unknown creature. He squatted down and carefully checked the gap on the leaf.
At the gap of the ozone grass, the edges of both sides of the leaf showed an unusually neat fracture surface, as if it was cut in one go by a sharp blade. A Lu frowned, his heart full of doubts.
Recalling the scene just now, the mysterious creature's head movements were so fast that it was almost dazzling. A Lu guessed that the creature must have taken two bites at the same time at lightning speed without the ozone grass noticing.
A Lu couldn't imagine that the mysterious creature just now could have such precise and swift attack methods.
I saw that Alu's expression was tense and his eyes revealed deep worry. I couldn't help but walk up to him and asked with some concern in my voice: "Mr. Alu, what's going on? You seem very nervous."
A Lu stared at the ozone grass in front of him. After a while, he slowly raised his head and said to me with a frown: "Xiao Song, that guy just now might have been watching us from somewhere. It saw us and remembered how to eat the ozone grass leaves without spoiling!"
A Lu's words gave me an inexplicable chill, and I couldn't help but recall what happened just now: "You mean... it only saw it once and remembered it?"
"I'm afraid its target is the ozone grass, but it may not know how to eat it. It determined that it was impossible to peel the leaves alone, and after confirming that we had peeled the ozone grass, it ran out to eat it." A Lu's tone was heavy and vigilant.
"Possessing high intelligence and amazing physical abilities." A Lu lowered his eyes, his deep eyes were very serious.
I followed his gaze and saw that the ozone grass that had been bitten by the mysterious creature was still there, with distinct bite marks left on the once delicious green leaves.
I smiled slightly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in a relaxed manner: "Mr. Alu, that creature vomited out such delicious ozone grass, what a waste."
Ah Lu turned to look at me, grinned slightly and said, "That's right, although he is very smart, he seems to have no idea about delicious food!"
A Lu slowly stood up, his voice revealing a sense of relief: "Anyway, it's great that nothing happened. Then Xiaosong, let's bring the ozone grass back to the president!"
I nodded, and the tension in my heart dissipated. We stood side by side again, looking firmly at the meadow where ozone grass grew. After careful picking, we finally succeeded in picking two precious ozone grasses.
I gently put the ozone grass I picked into the food box and carefully entered the data required for the ozone grass. I was going to take one back to the president, and the other one was going to be given to Grandma Setsunori.
After everything was ready, we stood on the edge of the sky city, ready to start our journey back to the ground. This time, there was no thrill and tension as before. We held each other's hands tightly and jumped into the endless void below.
We once again experienced the weightlessness of falling from a high altitude, but this time, we were full of calmness and confidence. The wind whistled past our ears, but we were like birds flying in the sky, free and unfettered.
Coming down from the Sky City, Alu and I followed the winding vines all the way down. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the vines. Recalling the various experiences in the Sky City, I couldn't help but feel a little excited and emotional.
Ah Lu walked beside me, his usual calmness revealed a bit of ease. Just then, the roar of an engine broke the silence around us, and I looked up and saw a jet with the IGO logo flying towards us.
The pilot jumped off the plane and walked in front of us with a warm smile on his face: "Welcome back, I have been waiting for a long time. Now I will take you to the headquarters of IGO."
We thanked the pilot and boarded the jet. As the plane slowly took off, I looked at the vines and forests disappearing below me, feeling reluctant to leave.
Alu and I sat side by side in the luxurious seats of the IGO jet, our hearts filled with excitement and anticipation. With the roar of the plane, we flew through the clouds, the plane gradually descended, and the scene on the ground gradually became clear.
A huge plate city floating on the sea, like a dreamlike castle in the sky, stands above the turbulent ocean. The city is made up of countless huge plates, each of which is like a carefully carved work of art, shining with brilliant light.
From a distance, these plates are stacked up in an orderly manner to form buildings that reach high into the sky. Their edges are inlaid with golden decorations, shining brightly in the sun, making the eyes dazzled.
The plane landed smoothly at the airport, and we couldn't wait to get out of the cabin and breathe the fresh air. A Lu's eyes were full of anticipation, and he patted my shoulder, signaling me to get ready to go.
I looked at the building in front of me, feeling nervous but also a little excited. Wow... why does it feel like I'm going to meet the parents of the Four Heavenly Kings?
