The shallows by the lake are clear and the ancient trees and forests are shining.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That's probably the place where Wind Passed is talking about."

When a clear land boundary appeared in the boundless ocean outside the porthole, Xinglan clearly saw the vast expanse of greenery spreading out, which was the northernmost area of the Nanyuan Continent covered by the forested coastline, and they had successfully crossed the sea to get here again...... Although it is not the same as the last landing site.

"What was that?" The shuttle quickly passed a few hundred meters above the forest, and when Shiojie looked at the forest below from the window, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "That tree just now is so tall, what a big tree!" ”

"This ...... It's really high. Xinglan also quickly noticed the towering tree that was thrown behind by the shuttle, hundreds of meters high made it stand like a giant in this forest, but it quickly disappeared from the end of vision, "These things will come later, now we have to find a place to land first......

The shuttle capable of traveling between planets is naturally powered by rocket engines, and powered by airborne fusion engines, but it's these thrusters that make Xinglan feel a little troublesome...... Even if she landed, she had to find a slightly more open place, and she didn't want to start a forest fire with those hot ionic flames, which were too hot for even a humid forest to handle.

And even if there is no flame, you can't just park the shuttle in the canopy...... That's a lot of fun.

Finally, before Xinglan couldn't help but plan to stop the shuttle here at all, but directly pull the tide knot to play skydiving together, she finally found a clearing in this dense forest area...... It was a small lake, and the calm water was clear and had a dark green color. On the shore of the lake, there is a shoal with no dense trees, and although the shallows are not too big, they can barely be managed with the vertical take-off and landing of the shuttle.

The ionic flames ejected from the engine evaporated the water in a small area below, and the large sapours tumbled and evaporated into the air to form a white mist, and the loud noise caused a commotion in the surrounding forests, and many small animals were frightened and fled.

"Maybe we should study the power mode of pure geomagnetic levitation......" Looking at this scene, Xinglan muttered to herself thoughtfully, "If you use superconductors to create a geomagnetic engine, not only will you be flexible, but the noise interference will also be reduced to a very low level. ”

"This kind of thing, sister, let's think about it slowly." Xijie couldn't wait to stand in front of the hatch, waiting for the shuttle to stabilize completely, "The focus now is to find the intelligent creatures on this land, maybe you will meet the descendants of the same clan Mystery Xin......"

Xinglan smiled and didn't pay attention to Xijie's nonsense, and controlled the shuttle to slowly dock on the shallows. The bottom of the shuttle is sealed and will not cause problems due to a little water ingress, but the soft ground after the immersion is an inevitable trouble, and even sitting inside the cabin, you can clearly feel the body sinking down on the shallow ground, fortunately the sand and soft mud here are not too thick, and they are far from being able to submerge the landing gear.

"Okay, the landing is normal." After using the signal to detect the situation on the ground outside, Xinglan walked to the side of the tide junction, and the hatch in front of him automatically began to release the airtightness, slowly opening with a somewhat harsh exhaust sound......

What unfolds in front of them is not the harsh and unforgiving nature, but a world that is truly full of life and beautiful scenery.

Shiokyu first jumped out of the shuttle in a happy mood, but soon ran in the other direction in shock. The evaporated water in the shallows has been refilled by the lake, and the cool, sweet currents of water quickly cool the heat from the engine jets, and shimmer in the soft sunlight that is bright but not dazzling during the day...... For the tide knot, the deterrent power of these waters is no less than that of concentrated sulfuric acid, well, psychologically speaking.

Stepping on the shallows, Xinglan could clearly feel the footprints formed by the subsidence of the ground, and this time she still set off without shoes at all, and stepped directly on the wild land barefoot...... The mechanical body doesn't care about that anyway.

In contrast, Xijie is much lighter, she has fully exerted the effect of the magnetic field in her body to reduce weight, as long as she does not really step on the pure water surface, this kind of soft ground is no different from the solid ground for her, and will not even leave any footprints, it is really like light work.

The extent of the shallows is small, and after stopping the 100-meter shuttle, there is hardly much left, and it is only two or three steps forward to enter the confines of the lake. After controlling the shuttle to close the hatch and enter standby mode, Xinglan didn't plan to continue walking into the depths, which was already a very unstable area, and they could slide into the deep water with a little carelessness, they were not here to explore the underwater world this time.

Xinglan looked up at the sky, the water vapor that had just been evaporated by the shuttle's jet had formed a very conspicuous white cloud column in the sky, and the loud noise had obviously attracted the attention of almost all the animals in the vicinity, and it might ...... after a short period of fright No, it's sure to attract some uninvited guests.

If you continue to stay here, you will most likely encounter some powerful beasts, so why not get out of this area as soon as possible? Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, her red pupils swept over the seemingly calm forests and lakes around her, as if she wanted to rely on her simple vision to pull out those hidden animals.

No, why leave?

Gently evoking a smile, Xinglan already had a conclusion in his heart, since he came to Lanxing to explore some interesting creatures, how could he leave in order to avoid them? Maybe something as noisy as a shuttle landing might directly attract intelligent creatures nearby, which would be even better.

"Okay, stop playing." Xinglan waved her hand at Xijie, who was scurrying around in the drier area, and watched the other party turn around before walking towards the forest, "I'm afraid that some powerful animals will be coming this way soon, we need to find a place to hide first." ”

Even if you continue to stay in the vicinity to observe, you can't just stay in this shallow beach in such an open and honest way, this stupid behavior will only become a target for the crowd to attack.

"Looking for a place to hide?" There was some excitement in Xijie's tone, after all, Mystery Xin's strength was not suitable for frontal combat, so this guy had done a lot of things like sneaking and hiding, "But it seems that there is nowhere to hide here except the forest, and it is still easy to find among the trees near the lake." ”

"Of course, it's not a good idea to hide behind trees, and you might get caught by the beasts that are coming." Xinglan walked straight to the entrance of the forest, looked at the trees in front of her with a smile, and looked down the trunk to the lush foliage, "It seems that we have to continue to hide at the top of the tree." ”

The height of the tree in front of her is about seven or eight meters, which seems to be very high, but it looks very inconspicuous in this pure and original forest, not to mention the towering tree that has been seen hundreds of meters high before, the average height of this large area of mixed forests is about ten meters. You must know that in this ancient forest, even thousands of years old trees can be seen every few kilometers, and everything is completely maintained in an extremely vigorous state of vitality.

Don't underestimate this number, the trees that have survived for thousands of years are almost the oldest of the trees, and some trees can even witness the development of the entire civilization along the way, and the taller 10,000-year-old trees have always been just a legend...... Xinglan wasn't sure if there was such a tree on Lanxing, but according to the information brought by Xiao Cheng at the beginning, there was not a single ancient tree on the entire earth that could live for 10,000 years.

There are only a handful of true immortal life, and they are basically cluster consciousnesses like Xinglan and Feng Death or creatures that have been modified by special technology such as Tidal Knot, and among ordinary life forms, it seems that animals cannot live for a thousand years and plants cannot live for 10,000 years seems to have become an unbreakable iron law.

Due to the lack of sufficient information, Xinglan could not tell how old the seven or eight meter-tall tree in front of her was, but it was true that it was not the tallest of the trees in the vicinity, but the strange thing was that the outer skin of this tree was grayish-white rather than the dark brown that was common to other trees, but it looked a little stiff and strange unlike the white bark of birch.

Even though the visuals are special, I have to admit that it is precisely this that makes the trunk of this tree feel stronger than the surrounding trees...... This is especially important, as Xinglan doesn't want to hide in the canopy and fall off because the branches can't support her weight. Xiyue was able to use Mystery Xin's innate ability to lose her weight to an incredible level, but Xinglan couldn't, even if she managed to make her mechanical body similar to that of a normal human, and the size was only one meter four, but the ends of the canopy of some trees might not be able to support this weight.

"Interesting, this tree looks sturdy, how about hiding on top of it?" Xinglan gently reached out and knocked on the trunk of the tree, looking at the tide knot on the ground, "You go up first, I'll come up soon." ”

"Yes." Xijie didn't drag, he nodded very simply, and with a slight force on the rough bark of his small paws, his whole body jumped upwards at a rapid pace, and the speed of advancing on the almost vertical trunk was no less than that of the horizontal ground.

"So, it's time to go up~"

Looking up at the general direction, Xing Lan gently pulled her hands around her waist and directly pulled out two small high-carbon steel daggers, and the sharp blade flashed a cold light in the air.

Although this is a cutting tool, it is not a big problem to use it as a fixed tool for climbing, after all, the tree is seven or eight meters high, and it is a bit troublesome to climb it with bare hands.

Squinting her eyes slightly, Xinglan quickly swung the dagger in her left hand and plunged it into the trunk of the tree in front of her, but what happened immediately after her made her fall into shock......

"Thorn ...... Can't get in? ”
