Chapter Ninety-Five: The ...... of the White Light and the Illusory Stars
The morning star of the dark night twinkles, and the trail of fluorescent fluorescence remains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the darkness, small white dots of light gradually appeared, and each time they shone out in the background, they were particularly conspicuous.
The points of light in the sky and the points of light on the earth, one far away in the sky, the other close at hand, are connected in the haze at this moment.
This is the Star Phantom Tree, a wonderful species unique to the Star Continent. Its branches do not have young leaves, but countless small white clumps, which are connected by filaments to form a complex and beautiful pattern.
Of course, the most peculiar thing is that these small white clusters will emit white bits of light in the wild, completely connected with the bright starry sky overhead, and if you don't look closely, you can't even tell where the boundary between heaven and earth is in the dark.
Tiny noctilucent butterflies flutter through the woods, lured by the brilliance, their wings flickering with fluorescent substances that blend in with the background. They are the spirits of the night, appearing only in the sky when the moon is in the sky, and they are not seen at all during the day.
The blue-gold figure suddenly burst out of the darkness, moving upwards like a feather being blown by a breeze, and the originally peaceful moonlit night dance was broken, and the luminous butterflies dodged their claws back and forth in a panic, and the formation was chaotic and disappeared into the depths of the Star Illusion Forest.
Turning lightly in the air and landing on the branches, the blue eyes were slightly closed, and the wonderful crystal array on the forehead captured the electromagnetic changes in the air with unusually sharp precision, even for a tiny creature like the luminous butterfly, the weak electrical signal changes caused by its nervous system were clearly perceived.
Mystery Xin stepped lightly out of the branch, and a magnetic field and the planet's magnetic field naturally generated in his body were mutually repellent, greatly reducing his weight, and slowly descending to the ground as if he was being lifted by an invisible force, revealing a strong sense of excitement in his eyes.
"Sure enough, sometimes you have to look at things from the perspective of the organism itself to feel the truth more clearly." Xinglan stretched out her paws and gently rubbed the trunk of the thick Star Phantom Tree in front of her, feeling as if she had found a very interesting toy, but suddenly lay on the grass with some decadence, "But...... This time, I was actually abandoned by my parents......"
The behavior of Mi Xin's parents was beyond Xinglan's expectations, and they left Xiao Mi Xin and dispersed after only a week, with no intention of continuing to take care of Xiao Mi Xin at all. When Xinglan arrived, the poor little creature was hiding in a hidden cave and shivering, and it was no match for the beasts outside.
It seems that some of them have been cute, and I don't know if it was inspired by the mysterious life form before, this time Xinglan actually did not forcibly erase its original thoughts, but had a whim, and did not touch the central nervous system of Xiao Mystery Xin's brain at all, only occasionally cut off the connecting nerves between its brain and body, and then directly controlled muscle movement with signals.
Probably due to his young age, Xiao Mi Xin did not show more panic, and even quickly got used to having another consciousness in his body controlling his body from time to time to make some strange movements...... For example, when it is too scared to move, it forcibly controls its body and goes out to forage for food.
"Yawn ......" Although the young Mystery Xin also acted quickly, after traveling all the way around the mountains where he was born to this astral tree forest, his body still fell into deep exhaustion, Xinglan shook his head, and simply withdrew control of the motor nerves.
Even though it couldn't control its body movements, Xiao Mystery Xin, who still clearly sensed everything, quickly regained control of its body, it didn't care about what it had just been controlled, but happily rolled on the ground twice, and then jumped onto the branches of the Star Illusion Tree, squinting slightly in the little white light.
"The little guy is also tired~" Xinglan looked at the little mystery Xin who was sleeping with some amusement, the only sub-signal that could directly touch the physical substance gently brushed the little mystery Xin's hair and patted its little head, "If you are tired, take a good rest~"
"Woohoo......"
Turning his perspective and looking around, Xinglan, who was completely in the form of a signal sub-form, seemed to be able to feel the slight wind quietly blowing through the forest at night, and the silver curved canopy of the sky became invisible from time to time under the shade of the Star Illusion Tree, and the white frost rain was suspended alone in the high ceiling, sprinkling a holy light.
It was late in the night, and the awakened fell asleep, but the sleeping awakened.
The branches of the Astral Tree fluttered gently in the wind, and Xinglan fluttered through the branches, wandering through the forest like a ghost, watching a huge figure slowly climb up the thick branches.
In fact, this figure is not very large, the body size is only about forty centimeters, but it seems to be ...... Spiders, yes, huge spider-like creatures.
Eight slender legs moved from tree to treetop, the evening breeze of the branches well disguised the creature's movements, and under the astral tree, a behemoth slumbered.
The creature looks a lot like a four-legged dinosaur, reaching six meters in length, and what stands out is the dozens of long whiskers hanging from the sides of its head, emitting a little white shimmer on it, which seems to blend in with the environment...... This is the bearded dragon.
The giant spider crawled silently to the vicinity of the sleeping bearded dragon, carefully not disturbing the behemoth's rest, and began to spew out white threads from its belly against the trunk of the Star Tree.
"Is this going to weave a web?" Xinglan floated near the ground, watching the spider busy, "Huh? This is...... Rock lizards? ”
A group of small creatures only about two centimeters in length suddenly appeared on the nearby rocks, crawling densely among the cracks of the rocks. Those sharp fangs and vicious eyes were not the rock lizards that Xinglan had encountered before? I didn't expect to see them in the distant Star Continent, and it seems that the distribution range of this species is quite wide.
The huge spider turned its head, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the group of rock lizards passing by on the ground at the same time, and a few of those small rock lizards really broke away and attacked the spider's legs! Unfortunately, their fangs were too small to bite through the leg carapace of the giant spider, and after being stabbed to death by several spiders in a row, the lizards reluctantly gave up their attack and left in the dark.
"Such a fierce habit, will you take the initiative to attack even an opponent with such a huge disparity in size?" Xinglan was a little surprised by the behavior of the rock lizard, but what made her more interested was the behavior of the giant spider at this time.
It fastened the white thread so thick that it could be seen with the naked eye to the trunk of a star tree, and then attached a second and a third...... Gradually, it came around in a circle.
"It's just trying to ......" Xinglan looked at the bearded dragon who was sleeping there quietly and was not disturbed at all, and sighed with some emotion, "Tsk, it's really a terrifying creature that has evolved......"
……
In the distant space, a small orange-red light looms among the bright stars.
As the distance closes, it becomes apparent that it is a large irregular object. It seems to be made up of countless identical orange-red bubbles stacked on top of each other, each of which is distributed irregularly, emitting high-intensity infrared rays that are extremely dazzling in the dark of space.
This means that its temperature is frighteningly high.
The planetary maker created several major planets in the galaxy where Lanxing is located, and has been used as a promoter of the process of life many times. This kind of crude spaceship, which is completely composed of signalns wrapped in nuclear fuel, has reached the level of breaking ten clever in one force, and can crush a high-tech spaceship of the same size in terms of combat effectiveness, because it does not need to consider too many factors.
By changing the momentum, the signaln's ability to directly interfere with the physical matter is proportional to the temperature of the matter, and in the environment of the Orchid Star, it can only barely pick up a wisp of sand, but it can stir up the world in the star.
And the planet builder, whose internal temperature is always above 2,000 degrees Celsius, is isolated from the cold of outer space by a film of signal subons.
It is one of the lost people who launch directly from the star and drift aimlessly towards the outside world, because it is always necessary to maintain the high temperature inside, and even if the signal film is quite strong in thermal insulation, its energy is being consumed at a very rapid rate, the most obvious is that its size has been reduced countless times from the huge size that can explode the planet when it departs, and the number of chambers has also been greatly reduced.
The semaphons in the control part are almost completely dormant, and the remaining energy barely supplies the consumption of the semaprons in the thermal insulation layer, which itself is already orbiting the star system by inertia...... Yes, the planet-maker, who had been almost completely forgotten by Xinglan, could no longer break away from the gravitational pull of the star system because of the lack of clear guidance for a long time, and could only rotate at about twice the distance of the outer layers until one day it completely evaporated like countless planet-makers with the same fate.
Xinglan's subjective consciousness will not have time to pay attention to this, and there are too many signals of the same fate, so there is no need to care about such a trivial small detail, and it will not have a big impact.
And today, at the end of this silent space, a small white light suddenly appeared, and it seemed to be slowly but unswervingly moving towards this side.
Planetary makers, who are almost completely shielded from external perception and whose signalns act as sensors are also dormant, do not react, and unless Xinglan actively activates them, these signalns that are far beyond the outer warning ring of the star system have lost their stress.
The approaching white light in the distance suddenly brightened slightly, and an incomparably dazzling beam of light swept through in an instant, breaking the balance that the planet makers barely maintained, and the object composed of countless orange-red bubbles was instantly destroyed by the terrifying energy that erupted from within, and the internal signal was completely destroyed before it even had time to react.
It's like a small firework blooming in space.
The white light grew clear, the bright tail flame glow behind a spherical space city, and the behemoth ignored the aftermath of the planetary maker's explosion and continued forward.
[The unknown object has been destroyed, and its form has been entered into the file.] 】
[Submit to the controller for analysis and continue to approach the end coordinates.] 】
Light waves of different frequencies crisscross the open space, interfering with each other from time to time, fluctuating regularly.
