Chapter 315: The Night's Finale Presents the ...... at This Time

The clear space mimics the white feathers covering the sky, and the long night will come to an end.

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

The sun's rays seemed so dim in the world that even when the clouds were thin, it could only reflect a bright white halo, but it could not see the specific outline. However, even if it was just a white halo that could be seen directly, it was enough to create the shadows of those objects on the ground here, like a forest.

The earth is no longer covered by the gray sand that has been accumulated after the severe weathering of the rocks, but the white particles are sprinkled with a shallow layer on the surface, and the yellow and green hard flowers bloom on the earth, looking gorgeous and beautiful, layer upon layer, and have always formed a vast sea of flowers.

However, they weren't flowers, and Shioyu didn't know how she had come here without realizing it, and she watched the ground beneath her feet cautiously, the ground covered with tiny cracks was also covered with fine hard particles that could pierce her feet if she wasn't careful.

It is an open-pit radiation mine, and the yellow flowers of silicon-lead-uranium ore compete on the earth, not as special life forms, but as natural crystalline shapes of the minerals themselves. The area of the mine was so large that they couldn't get around it at all...... Of course, it doesn't make a difference anyway, the shadow of despair is getting closer and closer, and it is better to appreciate this wonderful world more at the end. Natural minerals with radiation are not ugly, in fact most of them crystallize like jadeite or gemstones, refracting brilliant sparkles in a faint light.

Natural radioactive ores are not as lethal as many people think, in fact, because of the relative scarcity of elements, most natural ores are not very radioactive, and can even be easily held in the hand, and the main danger of the mine is because of the accumulation of time in the enclosed space, if it is an open-pit mine, then the radiation intensity here is almost not much different from the rest of the nuclear continent...... It could even be lower.

Shioyu made up the last sentence as he watched the tall object that extended out of the soil here, a strange monster with a black exterior that looked like a tree...... Yes, they look a lot like trees, except that they are more like they are made of cement than the texture of the tree's skin. These strange trees even have branched branches and leaves, except that their leaves are not flaky, but bulging ellipsoids, and seem to be filled with some kind of special heavy liquid.

Shioyu had stopped Vine from wanting to step forward and touch those leaves, and she had a hunch that if she touched those bulging leaves, she might be really big. Troublesome. This hunch is not unfounded, judging by the location of these trees, it is likely that they are similar to the monsters of the other side, providing energy by absorbing the ubiquitous high-energy radiation in the air...... If we extrapolate in this way, the trunks are likely to be natural radiation defenses, and the leaves are filled with heavy elemental liquids that are also used to block radiation, and if they break, the consequences could be very serious.

Producers, consumers, decomposers...... The fourth component of the ecosystem on the planet, the Purifier, constantly purifies the special unfavorable environment, although in a sense it can be regarded as a special producer, and later people called this kind of tree that can absorb radiation pollution in the environment as a clear tree, a tree that can purify this space. Even though most of the elements needed for the growth of this tree are heavy metals and radioactive elements, they are still used as a tool for the aftermath, and some saplings are even planted in nuclear power plants as a preventive measure.

[Be careful, the ground here looks terrible.] The language of the Xin Yu people is the language of some electromagnetic waves, and the sound wave bands that can be heard are also incredibly fast sounds, so sometimes the Moon Prayer people want to say words for dozens of seconds, and the Xin Yu people only need two or three seconds to express the same meaning, but it is a pity that people of other races are basically impossible to hear this extremely fast changing speed of speech, and Xijie likes this quick way of expression.

If it was before, the best solution to encounter this kind of area was to float all the way to the low, but now that both Shioyu and Fuji Zi have long since lost the strength to keep their bodies in the air, they can only slowly find a safe path on the ground, although the countdown to death is still approaching precisely, these seem to be completely futile.

When they took a few steps forward again, a black shadow suddenly fell from the bulging leaf bush, which startled Xijie, but before she could react, the black shadow fell to the ground like an extremely elastic bouncy ball and bounced off in a perfect line, and after a few repeated bounces up and down, it flew directly into the leaves of another clear tree more than ten meters away. Due to this ability to absorb radiation from airborne particles, the distance between these trees is not too close, but since only this side of the ground is suitable for their growth, it is not too far.

[What's that?] Cangqing, do you see clearly? Fuji Zi was stunned for a moment, looking at the other clear tree that the black shadow had drilled into, the bulging leaves on the tree were not dense, but except for some of the leaves still shaking, he didn't see anything unusual.

[It looks exactly like a leaf.] Xijie narrowed her eyes slightly, unless the other party could be invisible, this was the only possible situation, at first she was startled, thinking that she had encountered a monster similar to the leaf worm again, but after unfolding the precise magnetic sense, she found that the number of such creatures that were exactly the same as the leaves of the clear tree was not very large, and there were only one or two similar individuals on each tree at most.

"Whoa?"

[Huh?] What did you just say? Shioyu looked at Fuji Zi suspiciously, but they looked at each other, and the next moment they immediately reacted to something, looking in horror at a nearby clear tree, on which a leaf was making a rapid 360-degree whirlwind motion around the branch...... This is obviously not what a normal leaf would do!

"Gollum ......"

A series of strange voices rang out from the unknown creature, and although it was completely unconscious, it made Xijie almost cry...... God knows how hard it is to find even a creature that can chirp normally in this inexplicable land! But after a series of difficult maneuvers, the creature that appeared to be a bulging black ball like the surrounding leaves sped up and let go of its grip on the branch, slamming it into them like a cannonball.

[Get out of the way!] Xijie didn't dare to take on this strange creature that was still unclear, and at this moment, she once again sighed at the convenience of Xin Yuren's language, and she could finish the warning in less than half a second, and changed the language of the Moon Prayer People...... In other words, most of them rely entirely on verbal expression, but they are afraid that they will not have time to finish it when the danger is in front of them.

They dodged the surprise attack perfectly, and the strange creature that hit the ground completely deformed, like a real bouncy ball...... No, even more powerful than a real pinball, because it apparently also added its own muscular strength to the rebound, quickly jumping to a height no less than before, and making a high-pitched cry in the air: "Whoop! ”

Devil Pinball, that's right, that's the name of this creature. Before Xijie and Fuji Zi even had time to react, the devil pinballs on a large area of clear trees in front of them jumped down together and jumped in this direction, and the number of them was impossible to completely dodge, however, the interesting thing is that these devil pinballs didn't seem to care about their existence, they directly crossed the bodies of Xijie and Fuji Zi, and even the occasional contact didn't bring any other strange feelings, and then the group of pinballs all jumped away.

Xijie was dumbfounded, and the whole process was completely inexplicable.

[They're running away!] Fuji Zi suddenly whispered, pulled the tide knot, and pointed to the sky on the other side, in fact, at this time, anyone could feel the obvious abnormality in the surrounding air, [Cangqing, I think you'd better take a look at this, it's useless to run away.] ]

A dark shadow gradually expanded in the sky, and a loud cry made Shioyu realize its identity in an instant, Fuji Zi was right, it was useless to run away, and if it was really hostile to them, it would not be able to outrun the opponent's speed anyway.

The Polar Bird spreads its strange wings covered with silver-white feathers, and the central part of the wings on both sides repeats the process of expansion and contraction like a heartbeat, and it adjusts its flight attitude in mid-air in an almost impossible way, and then its huge body crashes down, not spectacular, but its size is indeed huge.

The Polar Bird descended not far in front of them, its eyes covered in transparent film watching them, and then the giant bird seemed to randomly chop its claws at the protrusion of a certain natural mine, and the ore there suddenly shattered, and it casually picked it up and swallowed it.

…… Wait, what just happened? It chewed the radioactive ore that was naturally exposed to the surface and swallowed it directly?

Witnessing the Polar Sky Bird swallowing the radiation ore, Xijie instantly felt that her worldview had been reorganized, and she suddenly understood how this big guy obtained the energy needed for supersonic flight of such a large size, and yes, in addition to nuclear energy, even if he drank crude oil directly like the giant rock dragon, it was impossible to support this big guy to go around the world and play a supersonic flight or something if he had nothing to do.

After swallowing a few large pieces of ore, the Polar Bird did not continue to swallow it, but tilted her head to look at Xijie interestingly, but this look made Xijie scared enough, and somehow she felt that the other party was laughing.

The Polar Sky Bird suddenly lowered its body and lay on the spot, just when Xijie was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Go up, you don't want to continue to stay on this continent, do you?" ”

At that moment, Xijie felt that he was really almost crying.

"Sister Xinglan......

"Ah, don't worry, Xiaoxijie, I don't have the idea of letting the Polar Bird fly halfway through and suddenly start supersonic flight, and then watch you be shocked by the sonic boom shockwave, and your blood vessels burst all over your body, and your internal organs are shattered."

"Huh...... Eh, eh! ”

"Just kidding, it's really a joke, don't back off, hey!"
