Chapter 291

"Oh haha——"

Just when Jiguo Enichi was wondering who was contacting him through the phone bug at this time, Irene had already eagerly jumped off the boat and was standing on the shore, looking at the endless sea of ​​clouds and cheering excitedly.

Mihawk and others on the boat were not as reckless as Irene, and were observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

They have been fighting at sea all year round. After entering a completely unfamiliar place, examining the surrounding environment is definitely the first step.

They were on the edge of a forest, and behind where they landed on the island was an endless sea of ​​clouds.

Mihawk made a slight leap, jumped off the boat, walked to Irene's side and slowly squatted down, stretched his hand into the sea of ​​clouds and gently pulled twice.

"Huh?" The resistance in his hand made Mihawk couldn't help but murmur.

"This is Kukai."

"Although it's not like sea water, it still has huge buoyancy. If you go down, you can still swim without worrying about falling."

"Of course, the depth of Kukai is limited. Beyond that depth, there is the sky."

"Mihawk, do you want to go down and take a look?"

Ji Guoyuan came behind Mihawk, looked at the scene in front of him, and said with a smile.

Others also got off the boat one after another at this time. After Abel got off the boat, he walked towards the forest, carefully observing the surrounding environment as he walked.

Xiong and Robin followed Yuanyi and arrived at the shore together.

Robin was also attracted by the novel sight in front of him, looking at the sea of ​​clouds with his mouth open in wonder.

"What are you talking about?"

"I have no such interest."

"Kongdao. It's a bit interesting."

A smile appeared on Mihawk's face. Even a "sword crazy otaku" like him couldn't help but admire the scene above Kukai.

"Let's go into the forest and do a simple search."

"First figure out where it is."

"The empty islands are inhabited by people. Don't conflict with them if you encounter them."

As soon as Kunoyuan landed on the island, he had already spread his knowledge and knowledge, but in his perception, he did not find any human breath.

There isn't even a similar aura.

It seems that the scale of the sky island above the East China Sea is much larger than he imagined. At least, with his domineering spread of knowledge, there is no way to include the entire sky island area.

Otherwise, there would be no traces of human beings.

While Yuanyi and Mihawk were talking, Irene seemed to have lost interest in the beautiful scenery above the clouds in front of her, turned around, and wanted to run towards the dense forest in the distance.

But after running only a few steps, Irene suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"Eileen!"

Hearing the sound, several people on the side of Yunhai turned their heads and looked in the direction of Irene.

Seeing Irene falling to the ground inexplicably, Robin let out a low cry and was about to run over. However, when he became nervous, Robin also felt dizzy and felt a strong sense of vomiting in his stomach.

"What's wrong with me?"

Robin squatted down and murmured in his mouth. After calming down, the dizziness in his head became smaller.

"You two, please don't exercise vigorously."

"This is an empty island, probably 10,000 meters away from the sea level."

"Unlike the sea, the air here is very thin."

"Strong exercise will increase the body's oxygen demand and produce strong symptoms of hypoxia."

"Just sit quietly for a while and you'll be fine."

"Eileen, the same goes for you, lie down on the ground a little longer."

After Yunichi's words reached the ears of Robin and Irene, the two of them couldn't help but calm down.

When the abnormality first appeared, the two children couldn't help but feel a little nervous and their heads were confused.

When Mihawk heard this, he felt it carefully. Just as Ji Kunoyuan said, after standing here for a while, he could also feel some fatigue in his body.

After a while, Erin stood up, her mood obviously not as high as before.

"Let's go."

Seeing the two children come to their senses, Yuan Yi also said with a smile.

Then he walked towards the forest.

Abel was standing in front of an animal trail at the edge of the jungle, waiting quietly. When he saw Yuanyi and the others starting to take action, Abel also took the lead and stepped into the jungle first.

The dense forest in front of them was lush with vegetation, and after entering the forest, the discomfort symptoms of Erin and Robin disappeared immediately.

Although there are obvious differences between the plants in Kongdao and Qinghai, what they have in common is that these plants can also perform photosynthesis and release oxygen.

The oxygen content of the forest is obviously different from that of the outside world.

Not long after leaving, Irene returned to her lively appearance.

There were some strange animals in the forest. Irene had a sharp eye and caught a gray mouse. However, the appearance of this mouse was a little different from the one in Qinghai. This mouse had feathers instead of hair. When moving in the forest, , able to slide close to the ground.

Irene was very surprised. After playing with the mouse for a while, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Oh~~~"

After a while, Irene let the mouse go, and as the mouse ran, Irene, who was searching for Yuanyi and others, seemed to be able to see something, and screamed from time to time.

This is the ability of Erin's Devil Fruit. He can share vision and senses with the animals he has come into contact with, and can even communicate mentally. He can even live among those animals and control the bodies of those animals.

Yuanyi turned around and glanced at Irene behind him, thought for a while, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Irene, and then said:

"Erin, have you seen a Devil Fruit like this?"

"If you see it, take us to find it."

"If you discover the Golden Land, please tell me."

Irene took the paper handed over by Yuanyi, glanced at it roughly, and nodded in agreement.

What Enichi Tsukuni showed to Irene was a painting of the Thunder Fruit, and Enichi even colored the sketch.

The appearance of the Thunder Fruit can be found in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, and Yuanyi specifically confirmed it before coming here.

This is a golden fruit with thunder stripes all over its body. It is very recognizable. It is really easy to distinguish it from the brown stems and green leaves of the surrounding plants.

Xiong and others gathered around after hearing Yuanyi's words. They looked at the picture in Yuanyi's hand and looked around.

Eileen knew she was looking for something, so she took it seriously. While exploring the forest, she began to catch "air rats" and some flying birds, using her own abilities to expand her search range.

In order to allow Irene to focus on using her abilities, Xiong also held Irene in his arms and protected her.

While walking and searching, after a long time, the Thunder Fruit was not found, but with the help of the "eyeliner" in the sky, Irene found a ruins.

"Well"

"Brother, I saw a strange building over there."

"In the middle of the sea of ​​clouds, it seems to be quite large."

"It's the handiwork of humans. The vines have covered those buildings. It seems that no one has been there for many years, but the buildings are not made of gold."

After hearing Irene's words, the look of confusion on Ji Guoyuan's face disappeared in an instant.

The memory was so long ago that he no longer knew what was on the empty island. He only remembered the Thunder Fruit and the Golden Bell~

"Is it a ruin?"

Ji Guoyuan touched his chin, then said with a smile:

"Go and have a look."

"I'm also somewhat interested in ruins."

As Jiguoyuan spoke, he touched the head of Robin who was standing next to him. When Robin heard the word "relics", there was already a look of longing on his face.

Now that she heard that Yuanyi planned to go and have a look, she was also excited.

Tianzheng, who was walking at the back of the team and holding the line, glanced at Jiguo Yuanyi after hearing this, and thought of some bad things.

Whether it's relics or history.

Being interested in these things is not a good thing.

Sandora.

This is the name of the historical site on Kongdao.

After Ji Guoyuan and others passed through layers of dense forests, they finally saw the "relics" that Irene mentioned.

In the center of the forest, there is a sea of ​​clouds. Among the sea of ​​clouds, is the looming ground.

Ji Guoyuan jumped directly into the sea of ​​clouds with a slight jump, but he did not sink, but stood on the ground.

"The area of ​​​​this ruins is probably not small, but most of it has not entered the sea of ​​clouds, and only a small part is exposed."

The moment his feet stepped on the ground, Jiguo Enichi already had a judgment in his mind. Looking around, his eyes fell on a pyramid-shaped building in the middle of the sea of ​​clouds.

It was an extremely majestic building, and the part exposed above the clouds was probably twenty or thirty meters high.

And in the center of the pyramid-like building structure, there are several empty doors.

It looks like it's the entrance.

The companions who were traveling with Ji Guoyuan were also stepping on the ground among the sea of ​​clouds at this time, looking around with some emotion.

There are dilapidated buildings all around. Those buildings are all made of bluestone, and some of the stones are carved with exquisite patterns. But now, these bluestones are covered with moss and vines, and are full of traces of time.

Those who can build these magnificent and exquisite buildings must be a prosperous and powerful civilization.

But now, this civilization has disappeared, without any breath of human life, leaving only simplicity and vicissitudes of life.

Ji Guoyuan didn't stop for much, and slowly walked up the long stone steps in front of the pyramid-shaped building.

Xiong and the others looked around curiously while following in the footsteps of Enichi Tsukuni.

When he came to the door, Yuan Yi looked indoors and found that there was actually a downward stone staircase inside the pyramid-shaped building, and there was light at the entrance.

When he stepped forward and took a look, Jiguo Yuanyi found that the entrance to the stone steps was full of clouds and there was no path at all.

"Um?"

"Is my guess wrong?"

When Ji Guoyuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but murmured, slowly squatted down, and reached out to touch the cloud.

However, when I touched the clouds, what I felt on my hands was not the light and moist feeling of the clouds, but the softness with a little solidity, the touch of the hard sea.

"Cloud ground?"

Jiguo Yuanyi was surprised by the sight before him. While he was inspecting it, Eileen felt that it was a bit boring here and urged:

"Hey, Brother Jiguo, it's empty and there's nothing here."

"Ruins are just ruins."

"It's time for us to eat, our stomachs are already growling with hunger."

Ji Guoyuan ignored Irene, looked at the intersection blocked by "Yuntu", and slowly drew out the long knife from his waist. Then it slowly lowered towards the clouds.

The dawn was very sharp, and it easily sank into the "cloud soil". After the blade was completely submerged, Ji Guoyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he cut a circle the size of a person, then stretched out his hand to grab it, and suddenly pulled out the columnar cloud soil. out.

He looked into the pit and saw that there was still clouds and soil below. He jumped lightly and jumped directly into the pit. He put his feet against Yunbi and stabbed the long knife into the soil again.

This time, after the long knife was halfway in, Ji Guoyuan stopped moving.

"empty?!"

Ji Guoyuan's eyes lit up and he continued to cut through the clouds and soil.

At the entrance of the cave, Abel, Mihawk and others quietly watched Jiguoyuan's movements. After a while, they saw the light in the cave brighten, and all the clouds and soil under Jiguoyuan fell, but they were falling. After traveling seven or eight meters, it landed on the ground with a soft "pop" sound.

"really!"

"There are still things under this ruins!"

Ji Guoyuan looked up, his legs loosened, and he fell directly towards the ground.

After landing, Ji Guoyuan looked around and found that the place he was in should be a corridor. It was surrounded by stone walls with ancient patterns. Under his feet, there was both cloud soil and bluestone ground.

Slowly receiving it into the sheath, Ji Guoyuan followed the corridor and slowly moved forward. Xiong and others saw that Jiguo Yuanyi seemed to have found the "road" and jumped into the corridor one after another.

Erin looked around. She seemed to be no longer hungry. She followed Enichi Tsukuni excitedly.

He found the long-lost joy of adventure.

"I really didn't expect that there is such a place in such a forest?"

"What exactly is going on."

"Why are there such ancient ruins in the sky?"

Tianzheng touched the wall, took off his sunglasses and put them in his breast pocket. Looking at the patterns on the wall, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then slowly followed Enichi Jiguo.

There was a lot of moss in the corridor, and even the vines that had grown for who knows how many years were all over the corridor. Ji Guoyuan walked all the way, splitting the vines that blocked the road.

Not long after, he saw a dazzling light at the corner of a corridor.

"Exit?" Ji Guoyuan walked towards the light, and soon, a magnificent city appeared in Ji Guoyuan's sight.

Jiguoyuanyi's location is a passageway of the pyramid building, nearly 100 meters above the ground.

Looking around, you can see that it is full of bluestone buildings covered with moss. This is a large town. A rough estimate of the area is estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters.

The clouds and soil on the top did not completely block the sunlight. The function of the cloud was like a lampshade covering a light bulb, which did not affect the lighting of the town at all.

There is no human scent in the city. The aroma of moss pours into the nose, and what hits your face is the ancient scent called history.

At the same time, a golden reflection in the town was also captured by Ji Guoyuan.

Ji Guoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a slight jump, he quickly disappeared at the entrance of the corridor on this floor.

Tianzheng and others behind him didn't know what Ji Guoyuan had discovered. They slowly walked to the entrance of the corridor. The next second, they were also attracted by the magnificent town ruins in front of them.

At this time, Jiguo Enichi also came to the center of the town. In front of him was a large fountain-like building, seven or eight meters high, with a water reservoir below divided into four or five floors.

It's just that there is no water in the reservoir at this time, but it is covered with moss and vines.

Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes fell on the top of the fountain. There, a small seedling grew from the top of the fountain. On the branch of the small seedling, hung a golden fruit covered with thunder patterns.

It was so heavy that it bent the young seedlings.

"Thunder Fruit."

"To think it would appear in a place like this."

"Would you grow up in a place like this to revive this long-destroyed civilization?"

Ji Guoyuan felt something and whispered to himself. He quickly drew out the long knife from his waist, and a blade of light flashed directly from the pedicle of the Thunder Fruit.

There was a gust of sword wind, and the Thunderous Fruit fell directly from the air, and was then caught by Ji Guoyuan.

Looking at the thunder fruit in hand, Jiguo Yuanyi's eyes suddenly became a little confused, and he grabbed the fruit and handed it to his mouth.

However, when Ji Guoyuan opened his mouth, his eyes became clear again and his movements stopped.

"Devil Fruit."

"How can you actually have such ability?!"

"Is it really conscious? The world government has no way to recycle the Nika Fruit. Is it really because the Nika Fruit has a will?"
