Act XV. whale falls; The first supply depot

There is a very important note in the Wasteland Survival Handbook developed by the International Astronomical Union, that is, you should never provoke [mad] level monsters in the wasteland.

Unlike the natural disasters caused by the activation of the abyssal relics, these monsters do not have the power of historical fragments, and most of their causes are the erosion of the abyss.

Some ascenders may have a personal suppression or suppression of natural disasters, and can even communicate and cooperate with natural disasters like Bai Ge, but the monsters and humans on the wasteland only have a hostile relationship, and they are mutual hunters and prey.

Of course, there is also a theory that the so-called natural disasters may also be caused by these beasts living in the abyss, or even human beings who were attached to the fragments of fully activated history, so that they have some familiar appearances, but the exploration of the abyss has been slow for more than a thousand years after the collapse, and the relevant research is not perfect, and there are different opinions.

However, it is precisely because these monsters do not have the historical fragments coveted by the ascenders, so in most cases, as long as these monsters do not appear near the city, then no powerful ascenders will deliberately wander the wasteland to find these monsters to hunt, and even the world-destroyer at the [Extraordinary] level has never appeared in people's field of vision since the Age of Lightlessness.

And now, in the course of the [marathon] race, there were two monsters at the [mad] level, which is really confusing.

"[Silver Storm Dawn] Sighting reports so far show that this monster is an albino individual of the Ash Dragon, an abyssal creature that normally needs to rely on the abyss environment to survive, and only lives in a small part of the abyss, but this monster has been able to stay away from the abyss for a long time, and has evolved many extraordinary powers......"

Bai Ge looked at his phone, and the explanation of [Silver Wind Dawn] in the internal documents of the [Panda Council] asked Wilbur to drive to the other side.

On the wasteland, there is no need to intersect with such monsters.

Another dazzling flash of thunder, the huge cloud whale seemed to be in its final dying throes, releasing the last of the lightning stored in its body.

However, the pure white beast's entire body glowed with thunder, and even its scales turned fiery silver, and its entire body was like a polymer of pure thunder, more dazzling than the sun.

It's devouring thunder and lightning.

Its original species, the Ash Dragon, feeds on the ashes of the Abyss, and as a specific individual, the food of [Silver Storm Dawn] is thunder and lightning.

However, rather than looking for the storm and struggling to feed on the thunder and lightning in the midst of the raging thunderstorm, this beast is more inclined to seek out cloud whales that store a large amount of thunder and lightning, and hunt cloud whales to obtain its own food.

It is precisely for this reason that in the sighting reports, this monster is full of thunder, bursting out in the dark storm, like the existence of dawn, which is why it is named "Dawn".

Flyer One was far away from the two monsters that were fighting, and on the other hand, the cloud whale had been attacked, which made the storm much more violent, and now, the rain curtain was almost like a sea water pouring in, and some small lakes and rivers had gathered on the ground, as if this wasteland was about to be reshaped.

Crackle –

One thunderbolt fell to the ground and shattered the rocks, and another fell, striking the trees in the distance, and the flames burned in the rain to form a peculiar landscape.

Crackle –

Another bolt of lightning struck a car driving in the rain, and in an instant, the car exploded, and the fire flashed brightly, quickly fading in the rain.

"I guess I won't survive......"

Bai Ge looked at the unlucky guy behind him and sighed.

He had placed the Flyer 1 in the loophole of the rain curtain at the moment, and the torrential rain outside had hardly fallen on the car, and as for the lightning of the cloud whale's rage, it was even more difficult to hit them.

A roar that resounded louder than thunder echoed in the clouds, and Bamboo Frost could sense the wrestling of the two monsters through pheromones, as if two pieces of music with completely different melodies were intertwining and resonating.

Gradually, as the rain reached its maximum, the battle between the two monsters also entered the final stage.

I saw that half of the body of [Silver Wind Dawn], which had completely turned silver and had become larger with the ingestion of thunder and lightning, had already penetrated into the body of the huge cloud whale.

As a characteristic of atmospheric creatures, the translucent body allows the bamboo frost to clearly see the process of the silver dragon sucking the thunder and lightning in the cloud whale's body, and the pheromones from the cloud whale are becoming disordered and weak, and finally, like the heartbeat of the last blow before dying, the cloud whale let out a terrible wail, and then, lost its power.

With its wings spread, Silver Wind Dawn reigns above the sky, like the god of thunder who wielded thunder and lightning in the legends of the old times.

And the kilometer-long cloud whale is falling towards the earth.

β€œ...... Come on! ”

Bai Ge urged, Flyer No. 1 had already come to the edge of the area covered by the cloud whale's body, where the rain was getting lighter and the number of thunderbolts was not much.

But Bai Ge knew that if he was hit by the falling cloud whale, the car probably wouldn't be able to continue to start.

The density of atmospheric organisms is extremely low, but it does not mean that they have no mass, not to mention, in addition to thunder and lightning, there is also a large amount of water in the body of the cloud whale, and it is no different from a stone from a thousand meters to drop it from a high altitude.

For a moment, the storm stopped.

Some contestants looked up, and could only see a huge blue and pale body slowly falling towards the ground between the dark clouds of lead ash.

The flock of storm birds that accompanied the symbiosis of cloud whales lingered, flapping their wings, and flew out from under the belly of the huge whale, heading towards the sky.

The rest of the atmospheric creatures also scattered, and with the fall of the cloud whale, the shadows of the earth became thicker and thicker, almost darker than the deepest night.

At this time, Flyer 1 finally broke out of this shadow.

The sunlight fell on the car again, shining through the window glass on the side face of Zhu Shuangxia, Bai Ge turned his head, he originally wanted to confirm the condition of the cloud whale, but he was attracted by the side face of the girl who seemed to emit some kind of particles.

In the background, in the background, the cloud whale finally fell to the earth.

Smack-

The ground in the middle of the drop point collapsed and a huge crater was smashed.

And the edges, the radial scattered areas, also show more or less traces of impact.

Several of the contestants' vehicles that failed to escape in time were smashed and deformed, but fortunately, the bodies absorbed enough of the impact that the contestants were lucky to survive.

Smack-

Bai Ge heard the sound of the waves.

It was a lake formed after the crater caused by the impact was filled with a large amount of water in the cloud whale's body.

The water of the lake spreads, flowing over the ashes of the trees struck by lightning, over the ground that was once covered with vegetation, and through the cracks in the surface of the ground due to weathering.

Thousands of years ago, in the old days, this was once a vast ocean that separated the Pan-Western Sea from the Holy Alliance.

After a thousand years, the area was re-covered with water, forming a life-giving Osawa area.

The cloud whale's corpse has not yet completely fallen, but many atmospheric creatures have begun to carve up and eat away at its corpse.

The ethereal tentacles of the cloud jellyfish curled little by little into the shattered translucent flesh, the haze shark occupied the largest chunk of the corpse, and the smoky fog snake burrowed into the water, greedily sucking at the tissues underneath.

Storm birds ripple across the lake, pecking at what floats in the air.

Farther afield, with the fall of this behemoth, some animals that had been hiding in the forest and wilderness also gathered here, and it is foreseeable that this place will be transformed from a barren wilderness to a place full of life for a long time to come.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

"It will take at least fifty years for the corpse of the cloud whale to be completely decomposed by the surrounding environment, and this one, it will take at least a hundred years, it is said that a thousand years ago, there was a cloud whale close to the [god] level that fell in the extreme north, and its whale fall has not been completely digested to this day, and even a city has been established on top of the corpse."

Bai Ge said with some emotion.

"For the next 100 years, there will be a lake like this on top of the Kuiper Wilderness, where the creatures will build new ecosystems, and maybe even give birth to new whales and storm again."

In a wasteland without human interference, this is the birth and death of nature.

β€œ...... So, that monster seems to be coming this way? ”

Wilbur looked at the sky above the whale through the rearview mirror, and saw that the silver lightning like [Silver Wind Dawn] actually flew towards it.

"Don't worry, in the eyes of this monster, we are not worth mentioning at all."

Although Bai Ge comforted Wilbur like this, he still used his ability to hide Flyer One in the blind spot of [Silver Wind Dawn].

At the same time, Bamboo Frost was also converging their pheromones, causing them to become transparent beings in the perception of [Silver Wind Dawn].

The dragon-shaped monster was just as Bai Ge said, and without even looking at the ground, it headed forward.

"However, it's heading forward, so there's a chance we'll meet again, right?"

Wilbur asked, scratching the back of his head.

"Well, I'm afraid ......"

Bai Ge guessed that the sudden appearance of [Silver Wind Dawn] should also be related to the abyssal relics lost by Atlas, but it was obviously a historical fragment related to rockets and flights, why did it attract such a beast?

He flipped through the information of [Silver Storm Dawn], but he had no clue.

β€œ...... I think maybe it's not as complicated as we think. ”

Zhu Shuangluo looked at the silver wyvern that disappeared into the horizon and said with some hesitation.

"Through the analysis of the pheromones of this beast, I found that it is in a special state, uh, like, looking for the existence of the same kind, or the same power, and then, and then extending life or something......"

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and finally it was as thin as a mosquito's cry.

"You mean, it's in heat?"

Bai Ge quickly comprehended the meaning of the bamboo frost falling.

β€œ...... Well. ”

Zhu Shuang nodded, turned his face away with his cheeks flushed, and looked out the window.

"Indeed, these beasts are still creatures after all, and they must have biological instincts......"

Bai Ge muttered to himself, not as if he hadn't noticed the expression of the bamboo frost.

"But these two monsters should be very different from the original species, not to mention that the ash dragon itself is a species that can only survive in the abyss, and on this wasteland, that dragon should not be looking for the same kind......

He seemed to sense something.

"In other words, the [Silver Storm Dawn] in estrus thought that the activated abyss relic was his own kind, so he flew over?"

Although according to serious biology, different kinds of organisms cannot reproduce, but after the Great Collapse, the underlying rules of the world have changed due to the emergence of the abyss, and this traditional scientific theory may not be applicable.

Although there have been no examples of humans mixing with other species, it is not uncommon for beasts to cross and merge, in fact, in the abyss with the [abundance] affix, reproductive isolation between species is almost non-existent, which is why many creatures that have never been seen in the old era, as if they only exist in fantasy and legend.

According to Bai Ge's previous glance at the information in the Abyss Relic Affairs Department as an extracurricular reading, some scholars who study the abyss even believe that some monsters from the abyss may have been eroded by [abundance], even if they are out of the abyssal environment, they can mate with other species and produce offspring, such an individual is called a "mother", if the power of the "mother" is stronger, then just such a monster is enough to cause a large-scale surge in the number of monsters.

"Maybe the abyssal transformation over there has already taken on the characteristics of [abundance], which is why these monsters are gathering there."

Bai Ge thought about it, and suddenly there were some divergent thoughts.

When the time comes, will you find that big guy, he has already formed a family with the activated abyss relics, and he is full of children and grandchildren, right?

"Ahem, anyway, we have to avoid these monsters, maybe there will be more monsters in the future."

He added.

Due to the appearance of Cloud Whale and [Silver Storm Dawn], the contestants who chose the path of Bai Ge were more or less affected, some of them were eliminated with hatred, and some were forced to take a detour and choose a farther route, but instead accelerated out of the Flyer 1 affected by the whale fall, and did not meet other contestants for a long time.

It wasn't until evening, as the sun was setting, that Flyer One, driving lonely on the wasteland, saw the supply depot standing on the horizon ahead:

β€”Pruto.
