Chapter 202 Little Things
"Duoduo, when can the second phase of mining of the Azure Gold start at the earliest?" Mo Ming asked Duoduo. The appearance of the design blueprints for the Throat-Splitting Giant Frog Cannon made Mo Ming very eager, and he couldn't wait to start construction immediately.
"Brother, I was just about to report to you that since the first batch was a trial mining, it didn't have much impact on the vein. The second batch can start now!"
Duoduo reported on her work progress in a serious manner, just like an excellent employee.
"Great! Let's start now. You go and gather Stone, Tark, and the others. I'll have Xiong Da and Xiong Er fully cooperate with you to complete this second batch of collection as soon as possible." Mo Ming's joy was palpable.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Duoduo blinked her big eyes, her little head full of question marks.
"Hahaha! I'll tell you all after the second batch of ore is mined and refined into Ghostly Blue Gold. Anyway, there's good news!"
"Okay! I'll go tell them right away!"
As soon as Duoduo left, Xiao Jin's howl resounded throughout the entire Sky Island, the sound waves vibrating the air, carrying a sense of anxiety and vigilance.
Mo Ming's heart tightened immediately. Xiao Jin wouldn't issue such a warning for no reason; it was clear that he had discovered something unusual. Without hesitation, he ran towards Xiao Jin's location.
As one of the guardian beasts of Sky Island, Xiao Jin's eyesight far surpasses that of ordinary people, and can even be described as abnormal.
At a height of 100 meters, it can clearly capture the subtle movements below, making it a veritable aerial scout.
At this moment, Little Gold landed on a huge rock, its wings slightly folded, but its sharp, knife-like eyes were fixed on the distant sea, revealing a hint of vigilance and hostility.
"Little Jin, what did you find?" Mo Ming quickly stepped forward and gently patted its wings.
Little Gold let out a low cry, and then, through its mental link with Mo Ming, relayed the scene it had just witnessed high in the sky to him.
Several kilometers away on the sea, a huge ship was slowly sailing. And from the aura emanating from that ship, it clearly sensed the oppressive power of a ferocious beast.
"The aura of a ferocious beast?" Mo Ming frowned, becoming alert.
The appearance of this ship is definitely unusual, especially in the waters near the Sky Island, where ferocious beasts are already rare. The fact that this ship can exude such a strong aura of ferocious beasts clearly indicates that the creatures on board are not benevolent.
Considering that he couldn't have Xiao Jin's superhuman eyesight at high altitudes, Mo Ming quickly took out a telescope from his storage space.
This was a high-powered telescope he had specially bought from the Misty Shop earlier. Although it couldn't compare to Xiao Jin's eyes, it was sufficient for observing distant situations.
"Little Gold, take me up!" Mo Ming called out, flipped over and jumped onto Little Gold's back. Little Gold let out a loud cry, spread its wings, and carried Mo Ming straight into the sky.
A strong gust of air rushed towards him. Mo Ming squinted slightly, sat steadily on Xiao Jin's back, gripped the binoculars tightly in his hand, and stared intently at the distant sea.
As the altitude increases, the view becomes more expansive, and the horizon where the sea meets the sky is fully visible.
Mo Ming raised his binoculars, adjusted the focus, and quickly locked his gaze on the massive ship in the distance. The moment the image became clear, his pupils contracted slightly, and a surge of emotion welled up within him.
It turned out to be a ship-shaped shelter!
The ship-shaped shelter in front of us is clearly no ordinary vessel. Its size is comparable to that of a small island, with a wide and heavy hull. The deck is covered with various buildings and facilities, and we can even see several towering watchtowers and fortifications.
The entire ship presents a style that combines industrialism and mystery, revealing a strong sense of oppression.
Mo Ming's gaze slowly swept across the hull, and he quickly noticed the situation on the deck.
There were more than a dozen people moving around on the deck. They were dressed in very strange clothes, similar to samurai attire, with long swords at their waists and headscarves with strange symbols on them.
"A comfortable life?"
What made Mo Ming even more uneasy was that there were not only people on the deck, but also many ferocious beasts!
The ferocious beasts varied in size; some were as fierce as tigers, while others resembled lizards. Some were bound by chains, while others moved freely, emanating an aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Mo Ming even saw one of the huge beasts lying in the center of the deck. It was a giant wolf that was nearly ten meters long, covered with silvery-white fur, with limbs as thick as pillars, and eyes that revealed a cold killing intent.
"What exactly is the origin of these little days?" Mo Ming wondered to himself.
His gaze continued to scan, and he soon noticed some more alarming details.
On the side of the ship, there were several strange symbols. The symbols seemed to be a special kind of script. Although Mo Ming could not make out their meaning, he could vaguely feel that they contained some kind of ancient power.
More importantly, this ship-shaped shelter was heading straight for the Sky Island!
"They're after the Sky Island...?" Mo Ming's heart sank.
Although the Sky Island is hidden in the clouds, it is not completely undetectable.
Mo Ming suppressed his doubts and continued to observe through the binoculars.
As he drew closer, he could even make out the expressions of the people on the deck. Their faces wore a coldness and ferocity, clearly those who had been through many battles.
In the center of the deck, a man dressed in a black robe stood tall with a gloomy face, holding a peculiar long sword in his hand, the blade faintly emanating a bloody aura.
"He's a master," Mo Ming judged in his heart. The black-robed man's aura was restrained and profound, clearly indicating that he was an extremely dangerous being. And since he was standing in the center of the ship, he might be the leader of this group.
At the same time, Mo Ming also noticed that the ship was piled with a large amount of supplies and weapons, and even several strangely shaped cannons.
The muzzles of these cannons gleamed with a cold metallic light, unlike ordinary weapons; their power was probably considerable.
"This is troublesome..." Mo Ming muttered to himself.
He knew that the arrival of this ship-shaped shelter was definitely not a good thing.
The enemy is well-equipped, numerous, and even has ferocious beasts assisting them. If they discover the existence of the sky island, I'm afraid...
Little Gold let out a soft cry, flapped its wings, and quickly approached the ship-shaped shelter.
However, its movements were extremely stealthy, remaining high in the clouds to avoid being detected. Mo Ming raised his binoculars again, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, intently watching every detail on the ship.
"What exactly do these people want?" Mo Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"Hmph! You little punks, if you're just passing by, fine, but if you dare to covet my Sky Island, I won't hesitate to send you to see Grandma!"
(Who would have thought I'd suddenly post a chapter like this? Hahahaha...)
