Chapter 547: Sailing on the Baibai Sea
Take photos, make rubbings, and record.
After a busy period, Uncle Long finally collected most of the information he was interested in. More meanings needed to be interpreted slowly.
Others who wanted to ring the bell also had a great time. Of course, only those who could pull the golden chain had a great time, while those who couldn't could only hang on it to increase their sense of participation.
Zhang Da also took out Tom from the golden bell. This stupid cat insisted on getting in and holding on to the bell tongue when someone else was ringing the bell. Now he was almost shocked to death. When he was put on the ground, he was staggering when he walked, and his pupils had become bell-shaped.
"Let's go, find a place to stay for the night, and then we'll set out at dawn tomorrow to find the next sky island."
As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. However, there is no such problem with the Amber Tour Group. As long as you follow Tom, you can use the giant bean vine as a spiral slide and slide down in one breath.
The side effect was that when they landed, Tom and Zhang Da, who were at the front, were crushed into paper men by the people behind them. The others piled up into a pile, and finally they couldn't maintain their balance and fell into a ball.
"I told you that haste makes waste. I could have come down slowly." Uncle Long clutched his waist. It felt like he was slapped by Shark Chili's tail when he fell. "What bad luck..."
"I think it's okay, quite exciting." Ye Yan gloated. He just fell a few somersaults and nothing happened.
"Of course you're okay in the end." Rui Mengmeng covered her head. She had just bumped into a piece of gold, leaving an imprint of her face on it. "I wanted to jump away before I landed, but I think someone tripped me."
The situation is similar with Artoria.
It should be said that everyone who thought they could jump away at the last moment had problems. Perona failed to float up, and Vivi's elemental transformation was not successful, highlighting the fact that everyone was in the same boat.
Everyone picked up some gold nuggets on the spot and took them away as trophies. The greediest ones, Ye Yan and Perona, each held a pile of gold that was taller than themselves, and walked forward staggeringly, just like Tom.
Zhang Da also teased, "Why didn't I see you guys showing such great strength during your workouts?"
Ye Yan was not ashamed, but proudly said: "Tomorrow you make a dumbbell out of gold and tell me that as long as I can lift it, it will be mine. Let's see if I can lift it!"
Zhang Da could understand why. "Carrying a 100-jin sandbag makes it impossible to walk, but carrying a 100-jin RMB makes it easy to walk, right?"
When they left the Golden City, they saw a giant snake dancing.
It could be considered as dancing. The snake twisted its huge body and crushed out a piece of flat ground in the forest. The expressions on its face were very rich, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
"Could this be Kalgara's pet?" Jackie Chan looked at the giant snake in front of him. "Can snakes really live for four hundred years?"
"Looking at its appearance, you can tell it's no ordinary snake. Who knows how long it lives," Zhang Da also said. "It's probably attracted by the sound of the bell. Let's go on our way and ignore it."
As expected, Nolan ignored Zhang Daye and the others, and instead climbed straight towards the giant bean vine, which looked to be more than two hundred meters long.
Not long after, a group of wounded Shandia people also walked towards this direction.
Zhang Da also looked at them and asked doubtfully, "Did you guys fight with the Sky Island people in the end?"
Waipa, who was the most seriously injured and was being held by his companions, said stubbornly, "I have no reason to avoid it."
Judging from his tone, he must have won the fight. Zhang Da also said, "If you keep running around like this, your injuries will get worse."
Waipa pushed aside his companions who were supporting him, forced himself to stand, and said, "I want to see the lamp of Shantora with my own eyes no matter what."
His companions showed helpless expressions. Waipa has always been so willful. Even if they didn't support him, Waipa might come over by himself, even if he had to crawl over.
"You are so awesome. Just stand there and don't move." Zhang Da also put down the gold and used healing magic on Waipa.
"This is..." Waipa was surprised to find that his injuries were recovering.
Zhang Da also tilted his head in the direction of his companions: "Those gold will be considered as medical expenses."
Waipa was silent for a moment, then managed to utter, "Thank you. As for the gold, you can take as much as you want, except for the Lamp of Shandora."
The people of Shandia don't care about anything except the bell tower and the land under their feet. Waipa can feel Zhang Daye's kindness, and giving him a little gold is nothing.
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "That's not necessary. We can consider coming back to get it when we are too poor to afford food."
Wendy also quickly put down what she was holding and ran over to help the seriously injured people heal their wounds.
"So impressive." Laqi was a rare female warrior among the Shandians and Wendy's first target for treatment. She asked curiously, "I heard that people with special abilities are very rare, and no one has the same abilities. Why..."
Wendy said, "Our situation is quite special."
Zhang Daye and his team spent a little time healing the wounds of the Shandia warriors, so that they could move more conveniently and avoid falling while climbing the giant bean vines.
In fact, these people's physiques are different from ordinary people. In the original book, they were able to jump around again not long after being struck by lightning. Waipa was even a ruthless man who could stand up after using three attacks on Bedouin in a war.
If I have to explain it, I can only attribute it to my strong belief, which may also be "romantic".
…
Tom did not sleep well that night because he spread all the gold that he and Zhang Daye brought back on the ground and slept directly on the "gold mountain".
At first, Tom felt fresh and enjoyed it, but when he fell asleep, he began to have nightmares. He had dreams about falling from a mountain of gold, being crushed by gold bricks falling from the sky, and even being beheaded by a guillotine made of gold...
Zhang Da also watched from the side for half the night, as if he had found the joy he had when watching Tom and Jerry cartoons.
The next morning, Tom pushed all the gold to Zhang Daye. Compared to gold, he wanted better sleep.
Zhang Da also checked his conscience and suggested, "How about melting some of the gold to make you a cat bed? As long as it's not bumpy, it should be very comfortable."
Tom imagined a noble golden cat bed and himself sleeping comfortably , and he suddenly became interested.
But before that, he needed to take care of the breakfast problem first.
When the Amber set sail, the sound of the golden bell rang. I don’t know whether the Shandians had been climbing vines all night or arrived in the middle of the night, but just waited until morning to ring the bell.
After admiring the scenery for a while, the Amber Tour Group began to focus on sailing. To find the next sky island, they needed to head southeast, but they still faced the problem of not being able to determine the direction.
They originally planned to catch another Nan Nan Jian bird, but they didn't expect that the two Nan Nan Jian birds they brought to the sky island flew back and chattered for a long time.
According to Ma Laowu's translation, what they meant was that although there were similar birds here, they had not communicated for many years, and the size of the Nannan birds on Sky Island had become much larger. In comparison, the two sides could almost be considered different subspecies.
The two birds said that they couldn't get along with the 'natives' and wanted to go down with them.
"It's fine for you to come with us, but we may not land near Gaya Island when we go down. Can you get back? And if you want to get off the sky island, can't you just fly down directly?"
Ever since communicating with these two birds, it has become difficult for Zhang Da to treat them as ordinary animals. Even if they cannot reach the intelligence of Tom, they are at least at the same level as Kalu. Zhang Da unconsciously began to consider them.
Ma Laowu continued to act as an interpreter: "They said, 'Who knows what strange and dangerous animals there are on Sky Island? It's safer to go down with you. As for whether we can find our way home, we are so lucky! Asking such a question is insulting to us.'"
Zhang Da also smiled: "Ha, I'm so sorry. Then from now on, I'll trouble you to continue to help us guide the way."
Sailing in the White Sea is a hassle because there is no magnetic connection between the islands, and Zhang Daye and his team do not have a nautical chart, so the sea is completely white and there are no reference points.
In addition, during the voyage, you will often encounter large island clouds blocking the way, which need to be bypassed or simply split. In order to prevent missing the island, you need to release the negative ghost to explore the way, and when she is tired, let the flag monster take over.
The greatest pleasure of this voyage was probably watching Tom messing around with a pile of gold.
Tom has already drawn the design of the cat's bed and estimated the amount of gold needed. Tom took the dragon talisman from Uncle Long and started to work.
Seeing the gold being melted and a golden cat's nest beginning to take shape, Zhang Da always felt that something was wrong. Is this the process of casting things with gold?
Aren’t there a lot of tools and steps missing? At least there should be a mold or something, right?
However, Tom did none of this. He simply used a dragon spell to melt the gold, poured the golden liquid wherever he wanted, and used a fan to quickly fan the gold to cool it down and solidify it. He directly poured out a cat bed with a complex structure and even wrote his own name on it.
The nonchalant look made everyone almost think that he was using cream instead of gold water.
"Is it done?" Uncle Long held the dragon talisman that Tom returned to him, feeling that the thing in his hand and in Tom's hand were completely two different things.
Tom nodded to indicate that he was done, then jumped forward, got into the most comfortable position in the air, and lay down lightly.
Then there was a howling sound: "Ah~Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Tom covered his butt and flew ten meters high. According to the law of inertia, he jumped up on the moving boat and returned to his original position when he fell.
Tom barely obeyed the laws of physics for a few seconds today. Of course, during this time he ignored the air resistance, so he fell back into the golden cat's nest.
When Tom realized that the cat bed had not yet cooled down completely, he stopped abruptly in the air, rolled over and landed on the ground beside him, his butt still flashing red.
"I thought you were sure you were cold before lying down, but it turns out you simply forgot about it." Zhang Da also handed him a wet towel.
The melting point of gold is over 1,000 degrees Celsius, so it was probably still several hundred degrees hot when Tom sat on it. If someone else had sat on it, they would have at least gotten their skin peeled off. Tom didn't even get a hair burnt, which is amazing.
Tom carefully turned over and applied the medicine on himself, pointing at the cat bed with grievance, feeling so painful that he wanted to cry.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's head and tried to use magic to improve his status, but unfortunately the effect was better than nothing: "Let me help you cool it down."
The high-end Sky Dragon-Slaying Magic was also used by Zhang Da in a strange place. Wendy also came to help. Artoria thought about it and thought that the Wind King's Barrier could also be used.
So the golden cat bed quickly cooled down, and Zhang Da reached out to test the temperature before nodding to Tom.
Tom's butt stopped hurting instantly. He slipped into the cat bed and lay down horizontally, on his side, and in a twisted position, with enjoyment written all over his face.
Xia Lulu looked at Tom's exaggerated expression and asked curiously, "Is it really that comfortable?"
Tom nodded, moved sideways to make room for her and made an inviting gesture, indicating that Xia Lulu could lie down and try it out.
Xia Lulu blushed and turned her head away: "Who wants to go in?"
Kalu wants to go in.
The ignorant child dove in headfirst. The amazing thing was that this cat bed was at most a double bed for Tom, but Carew was much bigger than Tom, so he had no problem getting in and lying down with Tom.
Zhang Da even doubted that he could get in.
Ye Yan sighed, "It makes me want to make a golden bed, but unfortunately the gold I have is not enough. How about you donate a little?"
Faced with Ye Yan's crazy proposal, Zhang Da also declined: "Get lost."
"I may need to further study telephone fraud techniques." Ye Yan stroked his chin. He missed Che Yongtai a little. He would cheat him out of a few kidneys to celebrate after returning.
After enjoying the golden cat bed for a while, Tom climbed out and continued to tinker with the remaining gold. He seemed to have found the joy of casting and planned to make a few more statues for fun.
…
The Amber sailed in the White Sea for nearly a day. When everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the sea of clouds, the little ghost sent by Perona discovered an empty island.
"We've found the Sky Island!" Perona reminded excitedly, "We need to turn in that direction!"
She had been using her abilities for a long time today, which made her very tired, but fortunately her efforts were not in vain.
Zhang Da was also very happy: "That's great, thank you for your hard work."
"Hahahahaha~" Perona was so happy that she floated up in the air. She held out a piece of gold and said, "Can you make me a new princess crown?"
"Sure, Tom's in the mood anyway." Zhang Da readily agreed. After all, there was plenty of gold. "Even if he's too lazy to make it, he can always go to the next island and order one."
Although the Baibai Sea is very large, Zhang Da knows that it shouldn't take them more than a day to sail without seeing the edge. After such a long time, he was a little worried that they might suddenly fall off.
Artoria quickly adjusted the direction according to Perona's description, and the Amber headed towards the next sky island.
