Chapter 998: The Ark of Refuge

Wu Chaoqun woke up from his coma and saw that he was standing on a turquoise curved object, with blue sky and seven-colored clouds overhead, and the air was filled with a strong and fragrant smell of plants.

"Huh? Where am I? What about Vinland? Wu Chaoqun was about to fly, but was surprised to find that his ability seemed to be blocked, "What about my ability?" ”

When you first arrive in a strange world, and you don't have any special abilities, this is extremely dangerous in the interstellar age.

Wu Chaoqun is worthy of being an elite fighter with strong will and excellent psychological quality, and he overcame the panic at the first time, stood up and investigated around.

He found himself standing on top of a leaf of an unnamed giant plant, which was dozens of meters long and wide, and at least more than 2,000 meters above the ground. The air flow here changes drastically, and there are strong winds of seven or eight at any time. It is densely packed with similar giant plants, and it stretches as far as the eye can see. Between the air and the giant plants, there are also some unknown large birds of prey, which from time to time hunt other creatures attached to the giant plants.

Wu Chaoqun couldn't see Wen Lan and ventured to call the latter's name loudly. Immediately, a dozen birds of prey noticed it and whistled towards him.

Wu Chaoqun lowered his head and jumped with a fish, dodging the pounce of the bird of prey, and then jumped off this leaf, spanning a height of dozens of meters and landing on another leaf.

The bird of prey caught up with an astonishing speed, its claws sweeping across Wu Chaoqun's face, scratching a trail of blood.

Wu Chaoqun didn't dare to make any stops, and jumped down again.

The raptor swooped down at an accelerated pace, rushed to a lower position in advance, and opened its big mouth to catch Wu Chaoqun.

Wu Chaoqun was in mid-air and could not change direction freely, so he kicked the stem of the plant next to him with his foot, changed the trajectory of the landing, narrowly avoided the big mouth of the bird of prey, hit the leaf next to him, and then passively bounced down, bumping all the way, and finally fell to the ground.

The surface layer of the ground beneath these plants is not soil, but a thick layer of leaf litter. Wu Chaoqun was like falling on a soft bed, and he didn't fall and hurt himself; However, the unrelenting bird of prey also chased to the ground, a pair of sharp claws under the hood.

At this moment, a huge serpentine head suddenly appeared from under the fallen leaves, opened its terrifying mouth like a bottomless pit, and swallowed the bird of prey in one gulp. The head then retracted below the back leaf, and its surroundings returned to calm as if nothing had happened.

"Holy!" Wu Chaoqun was shocked into a cold sweat, stood up quietly, looked around, saw the right direction, stepped on the huge fallen leaves and tiptoed a few steps, feeling that the foreign body below was like an earthquake, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran, which was able to avoid the big mouth devouring attack of the snake-shaped head.

In a burst of shaking, the serpentine monster burrowed out of the ground, revealing its body up to a hundred meters long.

Where would Wu Chaoqun take these monsters in his eyes at his peak, but now that his ability is blocked, at best, he only has the combat power of the early stage of the fourth-level star soul, so he can only flee in the wilderness.

The snake-like monster wriggled its huge body and chased after it, and from time to time used its big mouth to reach Wu Chaoqun.

Wu Chaoqun used the complex terrain as a cover, and with great effort, he finally found a clearing made of hard rock and soil about 5 kilometers in diameter in the giant plant forest. There is a boulder up to 100 meters high in the middle of the clearing, and there is a depression more than ten meters deep at the waist of the boulder, which is considered a cave. The caves are filled with smooth, hard stone walls. Wu Chaoqun used this cave as a temporary hiding place.

"This strange planet is too dangerous for the inalienables, and I must call for help as soon as possible." Wu Chaoqun used the power of faith to try to contact Lin Zaishan many times to no avail, and had to face the reality alone and prepare for a long and arduous survival.

"It seems that there is only one way to go through re-upgrading and evolution." When I thought of upgrading and evolving, I naturally thought of the Star Soul Trial System that I carried with me. This system is a powerful tool to achieve upgrade and evolution in a short period of time, but unfortunately: on this unknown planet, the Star Soul Trial System has failed.

Fortunately, Wu Chaoqun is not a person who gives up so easily, "There is enough life energy here, and I can't do it all over again, upgrade and evolve." As long as you can recover to the seventh level plus star soul strength, you should have a chance to leave. ”

//////

This planet is like the Tian Yuan Continent, full of all kinds of giant and dangerous creatures, but at the same time, the life energy is also extremely abundant, and it is indeed the best place for upgrading and evolving.

There are only two shortcuts to upgrade and evolve in this environment: first, to consume all kinds of substances rich in the essence of life energy, including other living beings; Second, the life-and-death test of battle.

Wu Chaoqun noticed that the giant plants around him could produce colorful fruits the size of a house, and the life energy and enticing fragrance of these fruits could be smelled from dozens of kilometers away. If you can eat this fruit every day, you can definitely evolve quickly. But the rich experience of surviving in the last days reminded him of a basic common sense: the more abundant the life energy, the fiercer the competition. Behind this fruit, there must be many powerful and terrifying creatures eyeing you.

Wu Chaoqun is not a second-year teenager, and he will not compete for and occupy high-value resources when he is still very weak. He calmly starts by picking up the most inconspicuous food. In the fallen leaves and fallen flowers that are blown to the flat ground by the strong wind, and on the surface of hard stones and soil, you can find a lot of living substances. He is like a bear preparing for hibernation, spending a lot of time every day rummaging around, gathering food, and gradually expanding the intake of life energy.

What to choose as a combat target is a matter of life and death. After several days of secret investigation, Wu Chaoqun discovered that a small insect living in groups lived in the giant plant forest. These insects are about the size of rabbits, do not crawl fast, and their carapace is not very hard, so they can be said to be good opponents for combat practice at this stage.

After making careful preparations, Wu Chaoqun managed to carefully lure the lone insect to a secluded corner, and then killed it cleanly. The meat of insects can be eaten, the miniature energy crystals on the body are good "tonics", and the carapace and feet can be used to make armor and weapons.

In this way, before I knew it, many days passed. Wu Chaoqun broke through the level 5 and level 6 star soul levels one after another, and the abilities he recovered were also increasing, the range of activities became wider and wider, and the target of predation became more and more powerful.

When the flying and teleport abilities are restored, Wu Chaoqun decides to step out of the cave where he is hiding and go out to explore the environment and search for Vinlan's whereabouts. He was determined that no matter whether he could leave or not, no matter what danger he encountered, he would search the planet all over the planet.

Over an unknown body of water, a figure flew by. It is a swallow-shaped bird with milky white feathers and a wingspan of more than 20 meters. On the back of the bird sat a Celestial Spirit woman dressed in a close-fitting mecha.

The sun is shining, the warm breeze is smoky, and with the blue sky and clouds, the lake and the mountains, and the beautiful birds, everything looks so beautiful.

The woman patted the bird on the neck and said, "Swallow, this place is so beautiful, let's go around a few more times." ”

The bird, called the swallow, seemed to understand human speech, and immediately lowered its altitude and began to circle gracefully over the lake. The woman is fascinated by the beautiful scenery and lingers.

Suddenly, a huge wave splashed on the surface of the lake, and a large fish with a body length of more than 30 meters came out of the water, leaped into the air, and opened its large mouth full of fangs to bite the swallow-shaped bird.

The swallow-shaped bird instantly rolled sideways, dodging the attack of the fish monster, and then rose in height. The woman on the bird's back flew up, piercing the fish monster's body like a sharp sword, and instantly extracted the energy crystals from its body.

The monster's massive body slammed into the water, and then floated on its belly to the surface.

The woman jumped back on the bird's back and said, "Swallow, let's go home." ”

Although the swallow bird is not large, it has amazing energy. With a flap of its wings, it lifted the woman into the air in an instant, and then flew thousands of kilometers under the cover of seven-colored clouds to a towering cliff. A flat land the size of a football field protrudes above the cliff, and there is a simple thatched hut made of giant plant branches and leaves.

"Finally home." The woman jumped off the bird's back and was about to enter the hut when the swallow suddenly screamed. The woman hurriedly backed away, dodging several spitting attacks.

Then, a dozen monsters with wings that looked like monkeys emerged from the hut and besieged the woman from several angles at the same time.

The woman drew the bone sword she carried with her and calmly faced it. Hundreds of monkeys flew up from under the cliff and joined the siege.

The woman knew it would be difficult to resist, so she jumped on the swallow bird and fled quickly. The monkey monsters chased after each other in groups, and in addition to flying, they would cooperate with each other like slingshots or ballistas to use their own cannonballs to attack from a distance, and beat the swallow bird and the woman dangerously.

The team flew out of the dark for an unknown number of kilometers and came to the edge of a huge jungle of plants.

There were more and more monkey monsters around, and the swallow-shaped bird and the woman were no longer able to support it.

At this moment, there was a loud "whoosh" sound from below, and a giant crossbow arrow shot with a fierce force, piercing through the three monkey monsters and carrying them into the air.

Then there were crossbow arrows shot from time to time, each arrow was tricky and fierce, and the power was amazing.

"Huh? Someone down there? The woman was surprised and delighted, and tried her best to temporarily drive away the monkey monster that was fighting in close quarters, and said to the swallow-shaped bird, which was already covered in scales, "Swallow, let's land in the clearing at the edge of the jungle!" ”

A large group of monkey monsters rushed up and frantically pounced, and the swallow bird and the woman lost their ability to fly freely at the same time, and passively fell to the ground. Just before the woman was about to hit the ground, a figure swept sideways, caught her and held her in her arms and landed steadily.

The two men looked at each other at the same time and cried out in surprise.

"Big Brother Superior!" "Vinland!"

//////

It turned out that the woman who flew around on a swallow-shaped bird was Wen Lan, and it was Wu Chaoqun who fired a crossbow arrow on the ground and caught her.

They fell to this unknown planet through the space-time vortex, and the initial landing points were very different, each showing their magical powers, and they all recovered to the level of sixth-level star souls in a short period of time. Both have spent a lot of time and energy searching for each other, but to no avail. I didn't expect to be able to meet again today because of Vinland's distress.

At this time, the monkey monster was still besieging the heavens and the earth, and the two had no time to catch up, so they joined hands to meet the enemy.

This is Wu Chaoqun's third hideout, and he has built many protective devices and traps to stay nearby for a long time. The large ballista that shot down a lot of monkey monsters just now is one of them.

In terms of individual strength alone, Wu Chaoqun and Vinlan are not opponents of hundreds of monkey monsters; But it's another thing when Wu Chaoqun's home field is fighting and there are traps everywhere.

After hours of fierce fighting, more than half of the monkey monsters were annihilated, and the rest fled.

Wu Chaoqun said to Wen Lan: "Are you doing well these days?" I've had a hard time looking for you. ”

"Me too." The two men faced each other, both staring at each other with eager eyes, and suddenly hugged each other.

"Oops, my swallow!" Vinland suddenly remembered that her pet was still alive and dead.

There was a loud "hulala" sound, and the swallow-shaped bird flipped the dead leaves, revealing its body. It turned out that this clever guy had just hidden.

Wu Chaoqun immediately checked Wen Lan and Yanzi. Wen Lan was not seriously injured because of the mecha protection given to her by Wu Chaoqun in the early days; And the swallow was not lightly injured.

Wu Chaoqun took out the crystals and herbs he had collected these days to heal the wounds of Vinlan and Yanzi. Afterwards, the two of them recounted their experiences and discussed survival strategies.

Wu Chaoqun said: "I have been trying to get in touch with Xiaolin with the power of faith these days, but I have not succeeded. Why do you say that? ”

Vinland said: "I'm sure there are quirks on this planet. You must know that after the crisis of the galaxy universe, no galaxy can maintain such vigorous life energy and a robust ecosystem. ”

"You're saying the planet is artificially controlled?"

"Shhhh Be quiet, we'd better talk in secret language. Maybe someone is watching us right now, from some hidden corner or higher dimension. ”

//////

High in the sky behind the seven-colored clouds, a supership is suspended in camouflage and stealth. At this moment, in the spaceship subspace, 5 ancient and powerful beings are talking.

"Why was the Ark so secret, discovered by this man and woman? And how did they get in? I still don't understand. Wisdom Tower, what do you think? ”

"Glistening Gold Furnace, you have a good way of dealing with metal, but your level of intelligence is really worrying. The man and woman clearly came to the ark through the vortex of time and space. ”

"Wisdom Tower, your wisdom is not much higher. How could the Ark be located by an ordinary space-time vortex? The fact that this man and woman were able to come here through the vortex of time and space shows that there is a close relationship between them and us or the Ark. Pools of Transformation, do you agree with me? ”

"Maybe, but I don't know if it's good or bad."

"If we allow this man and woman to evolve any longer, they will be aware of our presence. Our plans for seclusion in the Ark will be shattered. ”

"You mean we get rid of them now?"

"It's been a long time since I've killed, and I don't want to break my vows for anything foreign."

"What if we can't get rid of them, and we can't hide from them?"

"I have an idea: we test them. As long as this man and woman can pass our test, which means good karma, we will go with them; If, on the other hand, they fail to pass the test, they will perish, and we will live in seclusion here. ”

The five powerful beings in this dialogue are the famous "Five Elders of the Oolong" in the galaxy universe: the Wisdom Tower, the Golden Furnace, the Transformation Pool, the Cornucopia, and the Pavilion of the Scriptures. The Ark is their refuge in response to the crisis of galactic universe destruction. Some time ago, they ran away from the Oolong Star together and escaped into seclusion.

The Ark is an intricately designed sanctuary, almost completely cut off from the galaxy universe, and not even the Oolong Five themselves can open it from the inside out; But the ghost made the gods worse, Wu Chaoqun and Wen Lan were able to cross here.
