Chapter 1476 749: Beneath the Curtain
Silent and unnoticeable.
The curtain, reminiscent of the junction between sea and sky, quietly extends, lofty and elusive, heavy as an iron wall, yet so light it seems to dance in the wind.
Awaiting the arrival of all visitors.
No earth-shattering roar, not even a visible ripple; pale fog covers everything, engulfing all.
And beyond the curtain, waves of terrifying tides gradually draw near.
Sky and sea, between them, a chaotic black tide everywhere, countless sea locusts rise and fall, gather, mate, and struggle, competing for dead and decaying fish on the sea surface, singing aloud.
But it's still not enough, there's more sweet aroma wafting from the depths of the mist.
More food!
With the convergence of immense pheromones, the endless locusts in the sea gradually become fierce, hungry, frantic. Among the dead fish on the sea, amid the dense blackness, suddenly a large swarm of sea locusts soar into the sky, rushing towards Luo Island.
Cannot endure any longer.
In mid-air, countless sea locusts gather together, like a river winding along, dozens of torrents continue ceaselessly, rise and fall, rushing into the fog!
Finally…
At the scene, unknown numbers of hidden observers' eyes lit up, silently laughing.
But quickly, the smile froze on their faces.
Still silence behind the curtain.
As if nothing happened, nothing can be seen, nothing can be heard; the mist has not changed, graciously and generously accepting each visitor.
None, just none, of any, commotion!
No flames and thunderbolts can be seen, no screams and clamor heard, no feeling of any spiritual fluctuation.
From start to finish, the curtain hangs high.
Only continuously, sea locusts keep flying in, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands.
Each slender tributary is composed of over a thousand sea locusts, in mere minutes, in the sky, in the sea, even in mid-air, who could count how many have rushed into that mist?
And then?
Then there's nothing more.
From the beginning until now, no one understands what happened, not even the sea locusts themselves…none of the sea locusts that entered that mist could fly out again.
Only the curtain dances gracefully between sea and sky.
Open to all visitors.
"…"
The same deathly silence spread across the Seven Cities Council in Pu City, in what was initially a joyous and lively meeting room, once again returning to silence.
Everyone under the guise of solidarity and concern for the situation gathered to watch the spectacle, hoping to vent some vexation and find opportunities to kick someone when they're down.
Resulting in, this movie has been playing for ages, why is it still a black screen!
Don't even mention characters and effects, damn it, not even a sound!
Who can tell me what the heck is playing?
Wait, you bunch of dogs, aren't you conspiring to act against us?
The more pressing question is.
"...This thing."
Yamen Governor's expression gradually turned serious, ignoring the hot teacup in hand, unconsciously leaning closer, voicing everyone's inner doubt:
"What exactly is this thing?"
In renewed silence, Galisto from Dan City twitched slightly, as if recalling something, yet even he's unsure: "Looks like the Venom Fleet's curtain?"
For a moment, everyone looked at him.
Like looking at an idiot.
The kind that's spasming and drooling.
Curtain?
Who hasn't seen it?
But when did the curtain become so exaggerated?!
The Sujano Family of the past never hid it, eager to flaunt it every day, but the curtain from the past at best reduced the power of cannonballs, employed during naval battles for control.
Never as terrifying as now, silently devouring countless sea locusts, without a whisper, not even a burp!
If truly this powerful, the Venom Fleet would have long dominated the Seven Cities, why would the Sujano Family still strive for the Alliance Hierarch, just this thing covering someone's ancestral home would make anyone bow…
If not the curtain, then what is this thing?
Amid mutual bewilderment, no one spoke again.
In silence, Bristol suddenly recalled the Holy Tree Family's enthusiastic attitude toward Ji Jue, suddenly feeling a chill.
Even involuntarily, a chilling speculation emerged.
Perhaps, the threat of "within three days we can take over Yamen" uttered not long ago might not be empty words!
.
.
No matter how numerous the sea locusts swarm in, no matter the mixed feelings of the people outside watching, from start to finish, the curtain remains indifferent, shows no reaction.
Like a veil rising gently in the wind, beneath the pale is still another layer of pale.
No matter how hard one tries to probe, peel back layers of fog, what awaits behind is still unchanged fog.
The curtain, seemingly uniform, has been divided into countless layers in construction, at this moment the curtain thick enough to cover Luo Island is essentially an alchemy giant structure made of over tens of thousands of layers of spiritual fog!
Indeed, the curtain of the past could not have expanded to this present scale, but the item now in Ji Jue's possession is far beyond the past.
Purely in terms of size comparison, those rundown pieces of Venom Fleet don't even deserve to carry the current curtain's shoes!
The mist once woven from countless residual spirits and grievances was merely a synthetic realm interfering with artillery fire but even such a crude structure inspired Ji Jue immensely. After drastic remodel, eliminating resentful residual spirits, it now contains the completed specialization of the Fly King's Spirit.
