Chapter 542: Give in? Give in!
The Cloud Waterfall is not a waterfall, but more like a winding river, except that the drop of this river reaches 3,000 meters.
The express shrimp's large claws clamped tightly on both sides of the Amber, pushing the Amber upward quickly, giving everyone a super roller coaster-like exciting experience.
The screams of "Wow!" came one after another on the boat, mainly from the lolis, Tom, and the heavyweight Uncle Long.
Although Uncle Long is good at kung fu, has a very fast reaction time, and can perform various thrilling moves, he is actually quite timid.
In the thrilling experience of the Express Shrimp, which was far more exciting than a coaster, Uncle Long had the most terrified expression and screamed the loudest, with no demeanor of a "family head".
Altria stared at the two claws of the express shrimp. She usually wouldn't think about mounts, but if this big shrimp damaged the Amber, then it would not be a qualified mount and could be steamed.
The express shrimp shuddered imperceptibly and subconsciously slowed down his pace.
As they rushed at lightning speed, they finally saw a hole above their heads. There was a sign at the hole - 'GODLAND SKYPIEA'.
Whoosh~ The Amber was thrown out, as if it was carried to the White Sea by the surging ocean current, drawing a beautiful parabola and landing on the White Sea.
The express shrimp fell back into the passage and returned the same way, but it looked a little embarrassed as it ran away.
"Wow--"
Everyone uttered the same syllable at the same time. The water part of the Baibai Sea looked no different from the White Sea, but the coast in front of them was something that did not exist below.
What meets the eye is still a vast expanse of white, but on the coast that looks like clouds, there is a lush forest.
Island clouds can still be seen everywhere, but there are many residential houses located in them. In addition, many 'waterways' and stairs have been built using the characteristics of the island clouds, making the layout of the residential houses uneven and of different heights.
From a distance, the traffic environment on the entire island seemed very complicated, which made Zhang Da involuntarily think of a place called a mountain city. "Opening the window on the fifth floor and finding the road outside" was probably something like this.
However, the Sky Island is different. Their houses are not built on the mountains, but on the clouds. They can almost choose the height of their houses at will, and it looks scattered and unplanned.
"It's Sky Island! It's really Sky Island!" Vivi and Wendy put their faces close together and held hands, cheering. Xia Lulu, in cat form, was sandwiched between two tablets, looking helpless.
Misaka thought this was some special ceremony for landing on the island, and invited Perona to join her in celebrating.
The "expectant look" that Misaka expressed with her mouth was hard to resist. Perona reluctantly imitated Vivi and Wendy's poses with her, but she couldn't cheer:
"Although I'm also very excited, but doing this on purpose seems stupid..."
The Amber gradually approached the shore amid everyone's discussions. Everyone jumped off the boat, ran onto the soft beach, played with the cloud-like sea water, and observed the plants on the coast.
Zhang Da also looked around: "Why is there no one here?"
"Maybe they are preparing dinner at this time?" Ye Yan counted on his fingers. Although it didn't look like the sky was getting dark, it was indeed close to dinner time.
"It shouldn't be so quiet..." Zhang Da also felt something was wrong.
But just as he said it was quiet here, he heard a "clang" sound, and saw Tom holding a green fruit in his arms, with his mouth open, and his teeth fell to the ground with a clatter.
He had just picked it from a coconut-like tree on the shore. He didn't expect that the shell of this fruit was as hard as iron.
Altria also picked one, but having learned from Tom's experience, she did not put it directly into her mouth. Instead, she cut open the shell with a sword, took out a straw and sucked the juice inside.
"Like coconut, but much better than coconut." Altria commented.
Tom stretched out a claw with a wronged look, made a small round hole on the coconut, inserted a straw started drinking.
After taking a sip, Tom immediately showed a surprised expression. He forgot all the grievances just now and didn't even know when his teeth grew out.
“Is it really that delicious?”
Soon, everyone else also held a Sky Island coconut in their hands and drank happily.
Eating and drinking are one thing, but business still needs to be done. Seeing that there are no one around, Zhang Da has no choice but to take everyone to someone else's house to ask for directions.
"Just choose the one closest to you."
Everyone climbed up the stairs one by one. Even the stairs here were cut from island clouds and were spotlessly white. Tom and the little girls ran around because of the novelty of the stairs, and others also pressed the ground and touched the handrails out of curiosity.
Zhang Da also raised his hand to knock on the door, but noticed a button on the door that looked like a doorbell, so he pressed it.
"There are guests coming, please open the door." A little girl's voice rang out in the room, and Zhang Daye and the others could barely hear it from outside the door.
Weiwei and the others came over and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Zhang Da also said, "It's probably a sound shell. They probably recorded the daughter's voice and embedded it in the door to use as a doorbell."
"How amazing!" Weiwei had never seen Brook's voice before, so she found it very novel.
Although Misaka sister has never seen it, she at least knows about the recorder and doorbell.
Everyone waited at the door for a while before the door slowly opened.
The man who opened the door looked older than Uncle Long. He had a thick beard but sparse hair, which stood up on his head like the antennae of an insect. Behind him were a pair of Sky Islander's iconic wings.
"Hasso!" The man who opened the door said something strange, probably Sky Island's unique way of greeting. He glanced at Zhang Daye and the others and asked, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Are you from Blue Sea?"
Zhang Da also said: "Yes, we are travelers from the sea below the Sky Island."
"Oh, sorry, we are used to calling that sea the blue sea. Please come in and sit down." The man moved aside the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Everyone was invited in. The family's living room was large, clean and tidy. There was a little girl hiding in her room, looking at the sudden guests.
"By the way, my name is Pagya. I'm so sorry that I haven't asked you what your name is yet?" Pagya was very polite and liked to add words like 'sorry' or 'excuse me' in every sentence, and he always used honorifics.
"Hello, Mr. Paigaya." Zhang Daye and the others all said their names before continuing, "We just arrived at Sky Island and wanted to know what's going on here. However, there seems to be no one on the beach, and the streets are also deserted... I'm sorry to bother you. What's going on here?"
Pagya said with some distress, "Ah... I'm so sorry, Angel Island is usually very lively. It became like this because of the war."
"War?" Zhang Da's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Enel was attacking? Then the fruit would be gone.
"Yes, because the Island of Gods, unlike Angel Island, is made up of 'earth'. The current god, Lord Gan Ful, lives there, but a group of Shandians claim the land as theirs and wage war every once in a while..."
"The God's Island suddenly appeared many years ago. It's rich in resources. We all believe it's the most precious gift from God, a treasure that belongs to everyone. How can it be said to be their private property?"
What happened four hundred years ago does not seem to have been passed down in its entirety. Paigeya's views are very different from the history that Zhang Daye and others have learned.
"Lord Gan Ful has negotiated with the Shandians many times, hoping that both sides could share this land, but they disagree, so wars often break out between the two sides. Although wars rarely affect Angel Island, everyone still prefers to stay at home whenever a war breaks out."
Jackie Chan understood the whole story. Perhaps the God Island was the other half of Gaya Island? He said, "But that God Island is..."
"Uncle Long." Zhang Da also interrupted him.
Pagya is just an ordinary person on Sky Island, there is no point in telling him these things.
And this matter is a confusing one.
First of all, the island has belonged to the Shandian people since ancient times, so it is reasonable for them to want to take it back.
But the place where the island landed 400 years ago belonged to someone else, Sky Island. It is not wrong for the people of Sky Island to think that something that landed in their territorial waters and airspace should belong to them.
So to decide who owns the island, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist.
You still want the other side to give in on territorial issues? Give in, bullshit.
