Thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting, continental fault waterfall curtain sky.

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

The ancient probe floats through the universe, its shape looks like the blades of a fan, and eight flat structures are distributed in a spiral around the core, but they obviously can't be solar panels...... In fact, unless you have the confidence that active spores are slowly accumulating energy over hundreds of millions of years, the role of so-called solar panels in interstellar space drifting is completely negligible. The probe seems to be close to the point of exhaustion, and the nuclear reactor inside it has been operating for at least hundreds of years before it completely loses power, and I don't know if it is not technically sufficient or deliberate, it is not equipped with antimatter power or vacuum zero-point energy powered engines, and after the power is completely exhausted, it has been wandering half-dead in the starry sky, waiting for thousands of years.

The devices were so old that they had not recorded any data on the strange membrane that had passed through the myriad golden semi-rings, and when the probe reappeared in the cosmic environment, it would not be visible from behind it.

However, the detector, which seemed to be completely immobile, suddenly tilted its angle strangely, but all the thrusters on the surface did not move at all, as if it had been rotated out of thin air by an invisible hand.

[An ordered logic signal is detected, and the relative positioning is completed.] 】

[The outer structure simulation is completed, and the core begins to be transferred......]

The next moment, the probe's appearance suddenly blurred, and then began to get brighter and brighter, without any acceleration process, and instantly advanced at the speed of light, like a ray of light disappearing into the distant starry sky.

……

Lanxing, the Northern Yuan Continent, the ice field near the Star-Chasing Ancient Road.

Strong winds and snowflakes are flying, and this vast area has long since become a vast snowfield. The original trees, living or dead, still stood where they were, and the branches bent by the thick snow rose up in a cold, white mist of ice that spread through the air with each gust of wind.

This environment severely reduces the field of view, so much so that the scenery from a distance of 100 meters is completely shrouded in snow. Neither Twilight nor Dawn could find out where to go under these conditions, so they had to follow behind Xinglan. Suhui didn't have too many questions about Xinglan's trait that didn't seem to get lost at all, and her appearance of not being afraid of the cold. In the impression of most moon prayers, demons are basically fragile beings, but they are also capable of some completely unexplained things, and this ability is very similar to the so-called prototype most of the time, although he can't think of any creature like Xinglan.

There is nothing to envy, countless people's attempts have already proved that the demon's abilities are completely innate, they themselves don't know what is going on, and it is impossible for them to be acquired by the Moon Prayer People, not to mention that in the face of this situation, the Moon Prayer People will have an inexplicable sense of superiority in the race...... Even in the face of a demon who can easily crush them.

Faith is truly an incredible power, especially in this age when little is known about nature. Probably because the hearts of the people in these years are still relatively simple, although the Moon Prayer people have a certain sense of superiority over other creatures, they are very kind when facing their kindred, and they always firmly believe that good conduct and making more contributions to the people will be concerned by the gods, and the evil people ...... In particular, those who do not harm their own people for their own selfish desires will be severely punished.

"It should be almost close here." Xing Lan narrowed her eyes and estimated the distance, she was still holding the snow crystal rabbit in her hand that was obviously not suitable for going out today, whether it was for convenience or the so-called rabbit Taoism, this rabbit that was scared was directly knocked out by her, and she drooped softly as if it had hung up, "In terms of range, this side is almost ......"

"Here?" Twilight Xue stopped and looked at Xinglan suspiciously, she still hadn't relaxed the fur hat covering her head, even without the threat of that unknown creature, no one would be willing to expose her face to the wind and snow in this environment, "What's the bad news?" ”

Xinglan turned to face Twilight and Suhui, and reached out to the ground below, while her completely unshoed right foot quickly cut a deep mark on the ground, removing the layer of snow that had accumulated over the days, revealing the scene beneath the snow, but it wasn't dirt.

It was a hard, transparent object that took the place where it should have been dirt or rock. If it had been a few weeks ago, Twilight Snow might not have known what these were at all, but her journey in the Northern Yuan Continent had given her a deep understanding of the properties of this crystal: it was ice.

"Sure enough, ......" Xinglan walked a few steps to the side in a row, repeating the previous action again, after the snow was swept away, a transparent ice crystal layer was also revealed, but she couldn't see the opposite scene, she could only see the ice cubes showing a deep reflective image under the outside light, "It's not the ground down here, it's a frozen lake." ”

She looked at Suhui, who seemed to be watching this scene and fell into deep thought: "Suhui, do you know what kind of place this is? ”

"It's not easy to judge the direction in this environment." Su Hui was silent for a while before shaking his head, "And I haven't been to a place further north, so those who fled won't care about this kind of thing." ”

"And what about the speculation, is there any speculation about it?" Twilight lowered her head to scrutinize the ice, then looked earnestly into Glow's eyes, "Legends or just rumors are fine. ”

“…… I don't know. Suhui still said he didn't know anything about it.

"It's a very large lake." Xing Lan gently grabbed a ball of snow and threw it into the distance, the narrowing of the visual range even directly made this snow ball fly out of sight, "Although we have been moving towards the north, those sacrifices may not necessarily go in such an accurate direction, and the probability of being able to meet them is very small, you still have to be mentally prepared for this kind of thing, it is likely that all you see is a corpse." ”

"I know." Twilight replied in a low voice, knowing that this kind of thing was too impossible, but she was not willing to give up.

"Quiet!" Su Hui suddenly spoke, interrupting their conversation, his expression was a little excited, and even carefully grasped the slender bone spear, looking around vigilantly, "What is that voice......

Both Xinglan and Twilight fell silent, and the noise in their surroundings was still very chaotic, but Twilight even subconsciously held her breath and listened carefully. It didn't seem to be a simple sound of wind and snow, but a faint whistling sound of air currents and a faint cracking sound, as if something was constantly screeching through the air at high speed.

Without words, just a glance at each other, they all began to move in the direction where the sound was faintly coming from, and even deliberately lightened the footsteps to carefully identify the direction of these strange noises that seemed to be moving, which was really difficult to do.

After about two minutes, the snow on the glacial lake in front of me turned red.

The bright red blood had long since become dull and dull in contact with the air, and it was lifeless and solidified on the ground, but it could not change the ground that had been dyed a strange color. They saw an elderly moon praying man, apparently dead on the ground, with a silver-white crescent-shaped mark painted in the center of his forehead, and four or five deep wounds on his legs, even revealing the bones of Bai Sensen inside. The clothing on the surface of the body had been completely torn apart, and countless tiny lacerations appeared on it.

Su Hui quickly stepped forward and looked at the blood-stained face of the moon praying man for a long time before identifying him: "It was a sacrifice of a certain northern tribe, he should have set off with them, it seems that he will not be able to reach the source of all disasters." ”

"It's not the same thing." Xinglan's face was a little heavy, and she bent down to carefully examine the wounds on the other party's body, most of which were torn off tiny marks that were very similar to the scars on her face, as if the flesh had been cut off by some kind of sharp claw.

However, those tiny lacerations seemed to have appeared after his death, and the wounds that really made the old priest completely immobile were the knee-high leg wounds. The flesh near these wounds all took on the shape of a violent impact, and even cracks were clearly visible in the bones exposed in the deepest part.

She didn't know what it was, but it was clear that the other party wouldn't be friendly. Twilight looked around repeatedly, as if trying to find the monster hiding in the snow.

"It's not like he was forcibly taken away, but like he was abandoned here by his companions because he couldn't move." Tsuki tried to find the prayer symbols that the Moon Prayer usually wrote next to the corpses of their companions, but whether or not they existed, they were apparently completely covered in snow, so that all his efforts were in vain, "The others may still be alive, but not very well." ”

"Let's move on." Xinglan listened carefully for a while, but the small sounds that were still echoing around her just now seemed to be far away to the point where she could not be heard, and she could only choose to continue in the direction she had set up, "Even if you can't find anyone else, at least solve the problem." ”

However, in less than ten minutes, they stopped again on the completely frozen lake, this time not on their own initiative, but had to stop there, and then looked up in shock at the scene ahead.

Nature's moat discourages all those who try to cross it.

It may not be a special sight for Xinglan, but for Twilight and Glow, it can be regarded as a spectacular sight that they have never seen in their lives. Even though the snow is blowing at the moment, you can still imagine how spectacular it was in the past.

It was as if the entire continent had been lifted up for a while, forming a huge fault that could not be seen on either side, and the incomparably wide river poured down the contours of the continent from above, forming a huge waterfall that had never been seen before, all the way down into the wide lake below.

At this moment, the lake was completely frozen, and the waterfall, which was so wide that it seemed to be a natural wall, had turned into a solidified ice barrier.

This is the Northern Yuan Continent of Lanxing, Waterfall Curtain Lake.
