Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tightrope Walker on the Cliff ......
The canopy of the Sky Mountains hangs low, and the ladders connect the ropeway vines.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now it's ...... Climbing time.
The tectonic plates of the earth's crust seem to have been violently squeezed here, lifting up large swaths of mountain ranges. From the space, it can be clearly seen that in this area of the Star Continent, the area of the mountain range occupies almost the vast majority of this giant island.
The cliff bubble crunched faintly under the impact of the water and the pressure of the mysterious claws, and even though the transparent oval body was concave and deformed, it showed no signs of cracking from beginning to end.
The cliff bubbles are very small, only about seven or eight centimeters long, and there are still a lot of them distributed on the rocks of the waterfall, but because of the transparency, it is really difficult to see these interesting little things from a distance.
Although the waterfall is not particularly spectacular, the white water is also rapid, and even though Mi Xin has tried her best to avoid the rapids, she will inevitably be splashed with water.
Xinglan secretly watched with some amusement as Mi Xin's electrostatic hair splashed into the water droplets, and then stuck into a ball under the dual effects of short circuit and water adsorption. Mystery Xin obviously didn't like this feeling, and it subconsciously shook its body to shake off the water droplets, and at the same time sped up.
Whoosh ...... Jumping quickly to the top of the waterfall, Mi Xin didn't look back at the small waterfall behind him, but stepped on the reef and jumped to the bank of the river, looking ahead.
Mi Xin shook his hair, behind him was the horizon of the boundless sea, rippling with the reflection of the sun, and in front of him, the Thunder Moon was suspended low above the mountains, and even in the daytime, it seemed that its flickering thunder and lightning could be seen. The mountains below rose and fell, but the general trend was getting higher and higher, and the farthest mountains almost inserted into the clouds of the sky, hiding all the secrets in the hazy mist.
Thundered!
A huge bolt of lightning flashed above the distant mountain range, and although it was already faint here, Xinglan could still hear the thunder that almost shook the heavens and the earth, and the arcs of lightning that jumped near the mountain range.
"That's right, those mountains are directly inserted into the clouds full of charge." Xinglan is directly connected to the signal sub-network, looking down on the area from high in space, "This is currently the highest altitude area in the world, right?" ”
Mi Xin did not hesitate, and resolutely took a step forward.
……
Lanxing, macro continent, edge of tropical rainforest.
A frisbee with a purple spot on its body spun rapidly in the air and slashed across the rainforest, making a sharp sound of piercing the air, and hearing this sound, countless animals in the rainforest below subconsciously looked up.
The Frisbee, which has no eyes and relies entirely on echolocation to determine what lies ahead, nimbly dodges the branches of some giant trees, staggers past predators trying to try its luck, and flies straight for the ocean.
At this moment, the sea near the coastline looks like the primeval ocean of the Genesis period, only the interweaving of wind and water, but there is no life...... But they just hid it.
The frisbee twisted its body and adjusted its flight direction by changing its contact with the air in front of it, lowering its altitude closer to the surface of the sea. This is a very unusual behavior, as there are many hidden predators roaming around the surface of the sea, and echolocation works just as well in the water as it does in the air...... However, it apparently cannot accurately reflect the conditions below the surface to the receiver of the frisbee in the air. In contrast, predators below the surface of the sea can clearly observe movement above the surface with their eyes and catch these small creatures that are easy to catch.
As expected, when the frisbee brushed the sea surface at a low altitude for the third time, a fish more than ten meters long suddenly jumped out from under the water, and in the hazy water droplets, the extremely sharp fins were like sharp blades, almost unhindered in the air, slashing through the body of the frisbee, completely splitting it in two......
Swordfin fish, a giant fish that even the blue-spotted spinosaurus could easily slice through, to be precise, the frisbee was not enough to stuff its teeth. I don't know if the knife-fin fish wanted to play accuracy training or something else, but in short, it managed to cut the frisbee, then turned around and opened its mouth slightly, and the two halves of the frisbee were washed into its mouth along with the seawater.
Well, it's too small to taste at all.
The swordfin fish flicked its tail with some dissatisfaction, and after using its tremendous strength to throw out a few small fish that followed behind, it was ready to flash the fish, however, the giant fish suddenly stiffened only halfway through its movements......
The undercurrent of the sea swelled and washed over the sword-finned fish's body, but it did not move, allowing the waves to wash itself around.
From the outside, the muscles of the swordfin fish could be clearly seen twitching uncontrollably, and the blood vessels were bulging at the roots, as if there were some colorful things flowing underneath. The scales at the bottom of the side were suddenly squeezed open by the shaking muscles, and the skin inside bulged outwards and gradually changed color, and finally formed a purple round spot on the surface of the swordfin fish, glowing with an eerie color.
After being stunned for a while, there seemed to be a hint of brilliance in the eyes of the sword-fin fish again. It flapped its tail and re-moved its body, the green tendons on its body gradually faded, and everything seemed to have returned to calm, but it did not try to catch up with the other groups, but plunged headlong into the depths of the water, its strong and powerful tail and sharp fins on both sides parted the water, and the huge figure quickly disappeared into the endless blue.
……
The mountains, stretching endlessly. In this mountain, every peak, every rift, has become a terrifying natural danger, and it seems that nothing can get past them except the existence of flying in the sky.
On the thousand-meter cliff, among the gray-brown rocks and blue sky and white clouds of the barren mountains and mountains, a trace of unusual greenery suddenly appeared. In this monotonous world, this green thread looks so eye-catching.
The perspective gradually zoomed in, and the emerald green vines swayed leisurely in the wind high on the high cliffs. Its two ends are connected to the peaks on either side, while the vines themselves hang in the air, and below it is the bottomless Grand Canyon. This is not a single vine connecting the two sides of the canyon, but a large number of vines are tightly intertwined to form a multi-spiral form that is not complicated but unusually chic.
Obviously, this is not a rope that is deliberately tied to the ends of the cliff, but a plant that is really alive and has a strong vitality, and its name is very vivid: ropeway vine.
That's right, the ropeway, the vine that spans the canyon is very morphologically very much like a cableway, hanging alone from the cliff, but unusually tenacious and slightly oscillating in the wind.
The wind was howling, and the elevation of these tall and mighty mountains touched the bottom of the horizontal wind belt, so that these winds, which should have been completely unrelated to the life of life on the ground, swirled in circles on the mountain walls, occasionally raising dust and ...... from the ground Strange little umbrellas with white shapes that swirl in the air.
It looks a lot like a dandelion, doesn't it? But if you just think it's a common wind-pollinating plant, you're wrong.
If time stands still at this moment, a closer look at the spinning white umbrella with a magnifying glass reveals that it does not fly entirely on its own: a thin, barely visible silk thread connects to the end of the umbrella, and the other end leads to the land on the cliff.
Unlike this miraculous plant, which reproduces its roots near its roots and grows a dandelion-like wind-propagating organ, even when the small white umbrella is lifted by the wind, its connection to the roots is not completely broken, but through a thin and tough ...... The organs that might be called stems are interconnected.
When the wind carries this small umbrella over the cliff and finally lands in the soil on the other side of the cliff, this small seed will quickly take root and germinate...... Strictly speaking, the term seed is not appropriate, it is not a completely new plant, but another part of the root, and when the two ends of the stem are rooted and fixed, the plant begins to grow quickly and quickly with complex and tough thick stems and leaves.
Yes, it's easy to see that these little white umbrellas fluttering in the wind are the original form of the ropeway vines, and when they are truly fully grown, they will become those verdant vines that connect the different peaks.
The small paws landed lightly on a ropeway vine with a diameter of almost five centimeters, and the blue-gold hair stuck to the surface of the vine as if it were alive.
This is a high-altitude tightrope, not very thick ropeway vine, that is, the cliff that no animal dares to jump off except for flying creatures, and there is no bottom.
Despite its name, it is obviously impossible for the ropeway vine to grow a seat that can slide to the opposite side, so there is only one way to get to the opposite peak: walk over.
As I said before, for some reason, the weight of the mystery is far less than its supposed weight, so it is not afraid to crush the sturdy ropeway vine when walking, and in the face of the high-altitude transverse wind, its inertial mass is manifested as a normal weight, and it is not easy to be blown away by the wind, so the only problem is to be careful not to fall.
"Do you show a completely different state in terms of resistance to pressure from below and resistance to external forces?" Xinglan watched as Mi Xin moved forward on the ropeway vine with fun, and the white puffin wrapped in Sunburst leather was also tightly held in her mouth, "It doesn't seem that the internal structure is hollow or something, but it seems that there is a force that is holding it up......"
Thundered!
In the clouds that hung low in the distant sky, the thunder exploded again, and the dazzling white light swept through one step earlier than the rolling sound, although it was impossible to know that it was impossible, but one couldn't help but worry that the tall mountain that had been inserted into the clouds would not be split into pieces by the dense lightning.
Even the mystery Xin who was on the ropeway vine was flashed to his eyes by this short but dazzling light, and his steps forward stopped slightly......
At this moment, countless gray shadows rushed out of the mountain wall shrouded in mist in front of them. In the midst of a piercing chirp, an overwhelming number of flying creatures pounced!
Xinglan quickly turned up the speed of screen analysis, and watched in slow motion as countless creatures like small pterosaurs surged out at this moment, turning into a dark cloud and rushing towards the mystery from all directions......
Mystery Xin stood in the middle of the ropeway vine with the white puffin in his mouth, the sky was gradually darkening above, and the cliffs were thousands of feet below, and countless enemies were surrounding him in a circle...... Judging by their sharp teeth, it is clear that the other party is not a vegetarian.
In just a moment, Mi Xin made a move that shocked Xing Lan, only to see it bow slightly, the hair on its whole body crackled, and the electromagnetic reaction of its whole body increased rapidly, and then ...... Jump!
Mystery Xin's weight was already much lighter than it actually was before, but this time it was obviously more exaggerated, and it almost truly achieved a feather-like lightness...... Before the forward momentum is consumed by the air resistance, it jumps over a small pterodactyl and completes a double jump!
Not to mention the unlucky pterosaur that was kicked to a bloody pulp, two seconds later, Mystery Xin landed lightly on the opposite peak, and the price paid was only a few blood marks on one leg, and it was obvious that the landing cushion it carried out was not so easy.
But instead of caring about the pterodactyl that failed to sneak up behind him and began to return to its nest, Mi Xin looked up at the top of the stone wall, where a blue-gold figure stood.
Another mystery.
