Chapter 601 Scattered Stars Island
Han Fei and the others, including those who just came out of the portal, were all stunned.
The first reaction in their hearts was, why is the fish in the sky?
“Woo~~”
Like a song from the highest of heavens, the ethereal voice reverberated in the sky and echoed in the distant sky. When it got closer, they realized how big this whale was. Its huge body that was more than 300 feet long made people realize their smallness.
Its body was like a lofty and uplifting mountain, and its mouth was not open, but Han Fei felt that if it was opened, it would look like a waterfall in the sky, with hanging rivers inside. The white spots on its dorsal fin were different for each one. From the gills on its back, there was a burst of white mist from time to time.
As for its eyes, there was occasionally a little glimmer in these pitch-black eyes. Just like its voice, its eyes seemed to be filled with infinite loneliness.
The roars of the whale shocked the entire world, waking people up from their dreams…
Han Fei was so shocked by the giant whale that only when it had already swum close did he see a string of data.
Cloud Whale
Above the sea of clouds, a lone whale drifts freely between the sea and the sky. Although the Cloud Whale has the bloodline of the ancient roc, it’s very friendly. When it’s extremely angry, its voice will reverberate for three thousand kilometers, but it still won’t attack.

A Hanging Fisher laughed. “A group of little guys who have never seen the world. This is the Cloud Whale, who has been wandering in the Unknown Place for more than 800 years. You can sit on its back a while later, but don’t beat it. Otherwise, we’ll throw you down from the sky.”
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “Why do we have to ride the Cloud Whale? Can’t we just let it fly freely between the sky and the earth?”
The Hanging Fisher was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled. “This is all of the Cloud Whale’s own will. It likes to fly with people on its back. Otherwise, it would be very lonely. You don’t understand how it would feel without any companions.h.i.+p?”
Han Fei certainly couldn’t understand it, but he kinda knew how it felt.
He had once met Alice, the loneliest whale in the world. Normal whales’ sound frequency was between 15 and 25 Hz, but Alice’s was 52 Hz, so people said there was a kind of loneliness in the world called 52 Hz.
Because of the difference in sound frequency, Alice had no relatives or friends in the huge ocean. No other whale could hear the song it sang, and no other whale could understand its sadness.
Han Fei waved his hand to the Cloud Whale. “Hi! Big guy, I have something delicious here.”
And he waved a Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber at the Cloud Whale.
As soon as the Cloud Whale saw that someone was talking to it, it gave a cry, “Woo!”
Han Fei threw the Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber into the sky, and the huge Cloud Whale flipped over its body mischievously, revealing its white belly, and then opened its big mouth, letting the tiny Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber fall into his own mouth.
Xia Xiaochan grinned. “I want to do this too. Give me a Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber.”
Han Fei handed one to each of the other four. This was an inexplicable joy. Creatures like whales usually didn’t hurt people, especially the Cloud Whale who could win people’s favor at first sight.
Even Luo Xiaobai couldn’t help throwing out a Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber.
The Hanging Fisher hurriedly shouted, “Hey, you five idiots, Yellow-blooded Sea Cuc.u.mber contains too much energy. Do you want to kill the Cloud Whale?”
Le Renkuang was stunned. “But the Cloud Whale is so big and needs energy, right?”
The Hanging Fisher said, “Although the size of the body is related to the amount of energy needed, the difference is not as big as you think. Five Yellow-Blooded Sea Cuc.u.mbers are enough. Don’t give it anymore.”
“Woo~~”
The Cloud Whale was very happy, so it flew into the clouds and then fell freely down from the clouds. When it was 100 meters away from Han Fei and the others, the hole on his back sprayed a cloud of mist at them, and the coolness drew many cheers.
It took a full half an hour before all the people arrived. And the three hundred people all ran to the cliff of the Floating Island to watch the Cloud Whale.
Yes, this was also a floating island, but it was small, at most only tens of kilometers in size, the kind that you could see its end at a glance.
They had seen many Floating Islands, but it was the first time in their lives to see the Cloud Whale.
When everyone arrived, the Hanging Fishers said majestically, “Everyone, board the back of the Cloud Whale.”
At this moment, the Cloud Whale had already jumped out of the clouds and flew to the edge of the cliff. Han Fei and the other four took the lead to jump onto the Cloud Whale’s back.
This was an absolutely novel feeling, completely different from the feeling of flying by themselves. One after another, all the 300 people jumped onto the whale’s back. Then a five-star Hanging Fisher with two four-star Hanging Fishers also got to the Cloud Whale’s back, standing not far from and facing them.
The Hanging Fisher shouted, “Little Cloud, let’s go.”
“Woo~~”
The Cloud Whale slumped and its huge body fell down, and the wind whistled in the people’s ears. It was really exciting.
Feeling the Hexagon Starfish pulling on his shoulder, Han Fei said, “Don’t move. Don’t let people notice you.”
“I didn’t move. I’m afraid of falling!”
Han Fei was speechless and simply ignored him.
Han Fei turned his gaze to the looming steps in the distance and said, “Senior, what are those steps for?”
The Hanging Fisher glanced at the steps and smiled. “This is a ladder to the sky. If you have enough strength in the future, you can try to climb this ladder. With it, you can go straight to the Nine Heavens and reach the Thousand Star City.”
Everyone was shocked. It leads to the Thousand Star City?
For a moment, many people fell into a reverie. Among the major towns, only the Wind Thunder Town had a teleportation array leading to the Thousand Star City. Besides, it was said that if you wanted to use that teleportation array, the requirements were extremely strict, and not everyone could use it.
Wouldn’t it be much more convenient to go there with this ladder?
However, the Hanging Fisher sneered coldly. “I said you could try to climb it. This ladder is not only a pa.s.sage, but also an a.s.sessment. Not everyone can climb it. Besides, you have no chance to use it now. Survive the Unknown Place first!”
As the Cloud Whale soared among the clouds, the lead Hanging Fisher’s face became more and more serious, and in the end, he said coldly, “Don’t treat the Unknown place as a place for tourism. This is the battlefield of life and death! After you land, someone will receive you. The command post in the Unknown Place has already arranged a route for all of you. If you have any problem, negotiate and solve it by yourselves.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “There’ll be someone to guide us?” “Huh?”
The Hanging Fisher thought for a while. “Yeah! You can say that. You who have three stars have a lot of choices. After you land, someone will tell you what to do and where to go…”
After pa.s.sing through several layers of clouds in a row, when the Cloud Whale pa.s.sed through the last cloud layer, their vision suddenly became clear. The boundless ocean, like a timid girl, caught everyone’s eyes.
But what surprised everyone was that in their field of vision, there was a huge island.
Yes, in just a moment, everyone understood. The so-called Unknown place was actually an island.
This island was so big that when you looked down from the sky, you couldn’t see its edge at a glance. On the island, there were mountains, ravines, abysses, huge waterfalls hanging over the sky, and city walls surrounding the sea. The Hanging Fisher shouted coldly, “Don’t be beguiled by this scenery. This is an island that swallows people. This island is called Scattered Stars… Do you know why it is called Scattered Stars? Look at your waist tag, there are countless people like you who die here and their dead bodies are scattered like the stars.”
The man’s tone became colder and colder, and then he pointed to the coast and said, “Look! That is the man-eating coast. In Scattered Stars Island alone, there are Skeleton Sh.o.r.e, h.e.l.l Beach, Ghost Coast, Red Tide Coast… And dozens of other coasts.”
The Hanging Fisher pointed to the mountain range and said, “Did you see the mountain range? It stretches for eight hundred kilometers and is known as the Transverse Mountain, which is full of dangers.”
“Have you seen the big waterfall that shone in light red? It’s called the Empyrean Waterfall, and there are dense bones under the waterfall.”
“Did you see the green jungles connecting the Transverse Mountain? They’re called the Twisted Jungles, one on the island, one in the
sea…”
His words frightened everyone. A bunch of unfamiliar places spurted out of this Hanging Fisher’s mouth, and his meaning was that it was extremely dangerous here. When everyone was still freaked out at what the Hanging Fishers said, suddenly someone pointed to the distant sky in surprise and said, “Look, what is above the sky?”
“It’s a bird. My G.o.d, it turned out to be a flock of birds.”
The students in the Blue Sea Town had seen a bird in the Wind Thunder Town. But at that time, only one bird appeared.
Now there was a flock of birds here, hundreds of birds flying in the sky.
Han Fei couldn’t help murmuring, “Gosh, there are not only floating islands in this world, but there are also sea islands?”
Han Fei couldn’t help but raise his head and ask, “Senior, in the Infinite Ocean, are there many sea islands like Scattered Stars Island?”
