Chapter 725: Arrival at Nine-Colored Island
After spending such a long four and a half days like this, the legendary Nine-Colored Island finally appeared ahead.
Nine-Colored Island, like Wind Spirit Island, is not a sea island but a piece of land in the void.
It is very large, many times bigger than Wind Spirit Island, its shape like a huge palette slowly rotating in the void; if a straight line is drawn through the center connecting both sides, it is at least 8000 kilometers long.
At this size, it is already comparable to some planets!
"If we fly another 2000 kilometers forward we'll have to stop mooring, otherwise getting too close could provoke the breeding spirit beasts on Nine-Colored Island and damage the airship," Zhang Fan said after checking the data at the helm.
2000 kilometers is just a 12‑minute trip at the airship's speed.
"Let's go out and see the scenery; I heard Nine-Colored Island is beautiful," Xing Yun Miao said.
Everyone went to the bow deck, even Mang Mei, who had been reading a book along the way, put down her ancient book and joined them.
Standing at the bow and looking far at Nine-Colored Island, due to the high viewpoint, they could just get a bird's‑eye view of the whole terrain.
Dun Dun exclaimed delightedly, "What a huge palette! Art students who saw it would surely love this place!"
Xiao Feng couldn't help laughing: "This palette is a bit dangerous—inside it isn't paint but huge monsters that jump out and can eat you!"
Nine-Colored Island, true to its name, has many different colored patches.
It is certain that the "nine" in its name is figurative, not meaning only nine colors.
As far as the eye can see, the land shows green grasslands, bright yellow forests, scarlet highlands, sapphire lakes, dark basins and various other environments.
The most extensive terrain is forest, but even within the forest there are dark green, light green, brown, red and other color variations.
Basically each color is concentrated together, not scattered.
Thus it becomes like a palette, with patches of different colors east and west, a special sight.
【Ding~ You have entered the Nine-Colored Island area; the use of all scrolls and potions is prohibited here!】
When the airship was over 1000 kilometers from land, the system popped up a prompt.
Li Li exclaimed in surprise, "Banning scrolls I can understand, but banning potions is excessive—what if we get hit and can't heal?"
Dun Dun kindly reminded, "Senior Li, you're a milk dad—just lower your head and take a sip of milk when you lose HP."
"Um, I meant someone else," Li Li quickly corrected.
Xiao Feng laughed, "Maybe they just want to raise the difficulty—this place is definitely dangerous, one
moment, don't stray too far from me."
"Hmm, this map is special; if it's not necessary, everyone should try not to attack the island's creatures," Zhang Fan added.
Nine-Colored Island is a spirit beast breeding base, of great significance to the Elemental Divine Realm; later many players may come here to capture mounts.
If we killed all the spirit beasts here, it would be like cutting off others' way to play—rather overbearing.
The airship has entered Nine-Colored Island's gravity field, and its speed has slowed.
After traveling several hundred kilometers, Xiao Feng said, "All right, reel in the ship; I'll take you down."
"Hmm."
Li Li stored the airship in his backpack.
The five of them were wrapped by Xiao Feng's Wind Control Technique and lowered toward the ground.
At this moment they were tens of thousands of meters high, with no living things around.
But when descending to only a few kilometers above the ground, they saw many birds moving swiftly in the sky.
"Ga~"
A harsh crow's cry came from afar; everyone saw a dark‑brown large bird flash past from the side like lightning, several times faster than Xiao Feng's current speed.
Even flying solo at full speed, one might not be able to catch up!
"So fast! Did you see its stats?" Xing Yun Miao asked.
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "It's a level 510 Lesser Major God named Nameless Crow God, with 130 billion HP—basically a low‑tier Major God. Its speed is about 60,000 km/h, a bit faster than me."
His will is strong, his reaction to surroundings keen; he instantly made out the basic info of that bird that flew past.
"60,000 km/h, 49 times the speed of sound—this is several times faster than a missile!" Zhang Fan was left speechless.
Actually Xiao Feng's solo flight speed is also much greater than a missile's; he just never gets a chance to show it when playing with everyone. Everyone knows it, but without seeing it firsthand the feeling is different.
"Catching a boss like that as a mount wouldn't be bad either," Xiao Feng laughed.
He immediately lowered altitude, descending to about 500 meters above the ground.
He had intended to maintain that height for a while, scouting the ground for spirit beasts or eggs suitable for taming.
As a result…… he was actually ambushed!
As he descended past a red maple forest, a powerful aura suddenly erupted below, a scorching breath shot out—its force at least at the level of a Title God!
Not far away, several other attacks also appeared, launching a combined strike from a distance in unison!
Xiao Feng had no choice but to release the Five Elements Earth Shield to block it, protecting a few teammates.
Before he could fly far, a flying tiger leapt out from a deep‑green forest ahead and lunged at him with a tiger pounce and bite.
Checking its info, this creature turned out to be a level 500 Title God as well!
Xiao Feng was completely bewildered; he had to lower altitude again, slip into the forest, and drift low near the ground.
Before coming, they knew Nine-Colored Island was dangerous and its monsters strong.
But they didn't expect the density to be this high either!
On average you encounter a Title God every 10 kilometers—what a high‑risk situation!
How many Title Gods are there in the whole Elemental Sea—could they all have gathered here?
The six‑member team was terrified, daring not to act on their own; they could only stick together and forge ahead.
Xiao Feng maintained a height of two meters above the ground, moving through the forest while scanning the surroundings for a spirit beast suitable as a mount.
His teammates also stared into the distance together, searching.
However, visibility in the forest is really poor; they couldn't see far at all.
After flying for a while, Xiao Feng saw that ahead was a plain; on one hand he worried that after leaving he would again expose his whereabouts and be snatched by the bosses here.
On the other hand he also thought that in an open environment visibility is good, making it easier to find a mount.
Just then, Dun Dun suddenly whispered: "Look! Over there is a large python incubating eggs!"
Giant python?
Everyone turned toward the sound.
Indeed they saw a dark-green snake thicker than a door panel, coiled into a heap over ten meters long; beneath its body lay a nest, where the shadows of several snake eggs could be faintly seen.
"Holy crap, that's disgusting! Who would want this? Do you actually want to ride a snake out?" Li Li expressed strong resistance.
Dun Dun said: "But... but the eggs have written on them 'third‑grade spirit beast'!"
Li Li: ……
"I take back what I said! Riding a snake is actually pretty cool!"
Everyone stopped and looked at the giant python.
【Black Vein Imperial Python (Enlightened Law)】
Level: 530 (Lesser Deity)
HP: Cannot be discerned.
Note: When hatching its young, its temper is especially violent; be careful when passing by.
After reading the description, Xiao Feng wanted to say, "Everyone keep it down."
But before he could speak, the giant python flew into a rage!
【Having breakfast, continuing to type, will release the remaining two chapters before 11 o'clock!】
