Chapter Ninety-One: The Aurora of the Ancient Rift ......

The glimmer of the stars disturbs the world, and the fate of the dark and deep sea rotates.

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

In the silence of space, a light greeted him, like the countless starlight, small and silent, obliterating in the dark cosmic space and looking inconspicuous, so ordinary and so faint.

A point that travels at the speed of light in space and is infinitesimally small in size is much less likely to be captured as light because it is almost one-dimensional.

But what is unusual is that the light passes through it causes almost imperceptible ripples in the interstellar dust, which are indeed real, suggesting that it is essentially a mass point that can cause obvious material disturbances, but it obviously cannot be a black hole, because it does not produce the terrible gravitational pull.

The future is unknown, the fate is undecided, and the mission is not yet reached.

It is an ultra-high-speed object moving at the speed of light, because this speed of movement causes spatial distortion at the microscopic level, and from conventional space, all of its particle structure collapses into photons concentrated in one point, like a dazzling beam, spanning the long starry sky in a short time...... Waiting for the time to wake up.

Explorers are advancing, watchers are waiting, and the fragments of civilization are broken and cut across the torrent of time.

……

Stomp ......

A glimmer of light appeared in the dark-shrouded world, and the sound of crisp footsteps echoed through the silent canyon, as if to herald the arrival of an unprecedented visitor.

The rocks on both sides are almost vertical, and the broken notches in the rocks are not sharp, but are polished smooth and rounded by the current, and although they are not yet to reflect the image, they are enough to stop anyone from climbing on land.

"The Bottom of the Planet...... The Great Rift Valley. Xinglan looked up, the end of the deep sea was still dark, and the hazy light and shadow illusion made it impossible to peek into the true face behind it, like a dream, "Satellite remote sensing images from space show that the Great Rift Valley here stretches for dozens of kilometers and ranges in width from tens of meters to hundreds of meters...... It's a big rift......"

I don't know when the rock bed under my feet was gradually buried by the soft sand and dust, and turned into a soft ground. The sound of gurgling water is constantly ringing in my ears, which is the sound of undercurrents flowing through the rocky holes between the canyons, but the sound of biological activity is rarely heard.

The footsteps also disappeared...... The ground is soft. Because it was unnecessary, Xinglan had been walking barefoot on the ground, she bent down slightly, her eyes glowing faintly red in the darkness carefully looked at the soft pale ground, and her palm gently brushed through the air, and the sand and dust below were raised under the impact of the water and scattered......

No, it's not dust!

Suddenly thinking of something, Xinglan was a little stunned, waved it in the seawater, gently rubbed a wisp of pale powder, and put it into the testing equipment: "Sure enough, a lot of calcium...... This stuff all over the ground is not dust, it's bone meal! ”

Under the light of the headlight searchlight, the pale crust of the ashes of dead creatures spread across the canyon floor, creating an eerie and terrifying aura that made Xinglan feel a little uncomfortable, and she stepped on the ashes step by step, looking at the cliffs around her.

"There are so many dead creatures here that they can't be washed away by the undercurrents at the bottom of the sea." The remains of creatures that covered the bottom of most of the canyon, how many creatures had to die? Even Xinglan was shocked by this number, it was impossible for such a large number of creatures to die in the same place, right? But what else could contain such a high amount of calcium other than bone meal?

Tear and pull!

The surroundings suddenly lit up, and an abrupt explosion exploded in the sea, Xing Lan turned his head in surprise, but only saw a bright streamer flashing, and then felt that his body was hit by something from the side, and the detector that detected the voltage of the shell inside sent out an alarm message at the same time!

Attacked by an alien current!

Watching her crackling body with white electric light quickly dim, Xinglan, who had used the channeling to clean up all the charges on her shell, shook her hand and looked around vigilantly, the abnormal flow of sea water and the faint sound of electricity told her that the attacker must still be moving quickly nearby, but she couldn't catch the target......

"Stealth enemies are so troublesome, and there have been quite a few of them lately...... If visible light doesn't work, then use infrared. Xing Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and the red light in her pupils seemed to be getting more and more weird, "I'm not afraid that you are a cold-blooded animal, with such strong energy fluctuations, you will definitely produce higher heat than the environment." ”

Tear and pull!

Another bright flash of lightning rushed to his face, Xinglan turned his body at a very fast speed to avoid the frontal attack, and at the same time, ignoring the electric charge contaminated by the conduction of seawater, he keenly caught the fast-moving heat source, relying on not being afraid of this level of electric shock, he stretched out his hand and forcibly grabbed the guy!

Rumble!

As if stabbing a hornet's nest, the unidentified creature that was caught suddenly burst away, and an electric current many times stronger than just now flowed rapidly in the seawater, and it actually opened Xinglan's palm with a short earthquake with a strong magnetic field!

At this moment, Xinglan saw the true form of the other party. It does not change its body surface like a mirage, but it is really completely transparent, and the interior of its glass-like transparent strip body is flickering with brilliant light bands like aurora dancing in the deep sea, just like the brilliant colors of the polar sky......

All this only lasted for a short time, with a sudden sound, the other party rushed upwards like a cannonball, and the speed was so fast that Xinglan couldn't catch up at all, and finally had to give up, silently looking at the fast-moving point of light: "Such a wonderful and interesting creature, giving people a feeling of being ahead of the times...... Let's call you Aurora Fish. ”

After such a fuss about the aurora fish, Xinglan, who had fallen into boredom because of the unchanged scenery, felt much better, and her steps in the canyon became brisk, as if she was not affected by the few rocks she casually tied to her waist as ballast...... If you ignore the deep footprints left on the bone meal.

"Huhu...... I feel like I've become an archaeologist......" Xinglan reached out and rubbed the marks on the rock wall, the flow of water made it impossible for dust to accumulate on the side, but it also blurred the traces of history, "How can this method be found...... Huh? ”

After a layer of dirt was peeled off, some faint marks appeared on the rock wall, but Xinglan knew what kind of scratches were there, and this clear vein was clearly a fossil!

A fossil of a flame fish! You can even find a trace of it on the rocks, which is clearly a tiny fragment of a sea tree net!

"Direction...... That's right. Xing Lan showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, turned to the inside of the rift, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Open it and take a look!" ”

A huge sound wave strong enough to cause most of the creatures to rupture and die blasted down to the ground, causing the ripples of the water to vibrate visibly, and the moment it touched the bone meal, it raised a large amount of dust, completely turning the area into a turbid world.

The accumulated dust is difficult to clean, but once they are raised and dispersed, the never-ending undercurrent of the sea water suddenly exerts its due power, washing these dust accumulated over countless years to the ends of the earth......

Xinglan leaned back against the rock wall, patiently waiting for the dust to clear, her hollow red eyes discerning what she was thinking......

……

In the dark ocean, a behemoth broke through one dense school of fish after another with a powerful momentum, and its huge body and solid shell tens of meters long made all life in its path retreat, which is a great ocean overlord: the conetooth fish.

The conetooth gets its name from its conical sharp teeth, and it is also able to accumulate secretions on the surface of the body to form a shell composed of minerals, which is not hard, so it can support its agile swimming, but at the same time it is very tough, and it is not afraid of the high temperature of naval gunfish, nor the sharp teeth of most sea lords, which can be described as quite powerful.

After rounding its territory to make sure no other sea overlords sneaked in, the massive body of the conetooth made a nimble turn and began to return to its nest in a whirlpool of currents large enough to overturn the ship.

Anyway, as long as I don't encounter the painful thing like last time, I don't have anything else to fear! The conetooth fish thought so, and it was a coincidence that although this mineral armor was powerful, everything in the world had its weaknesses, and the weakness of this armor was...... Conductive.

So, since the last time the conetooth fish accidentally encountered an aurora fish, it was almost electrocuted into a grilled fish, but fortunately, its huge body made the aurora fish too lazy to waste so much energy, and left with a little temptation, so that it survived.

Nothing can be seen as an enemy! Since then, the conetooth fish has believed in this deeply, in other words: if you encounter an invisible enemy, you should run quickly.

In a flickering mind, the cone tooth returned to the entrance of its underwater cavern, which was wide enough to accommodate its massive body and was not easy to find, so although the biome around the cave had long been in disarray due to the frequent presence of the big one, the cone tooth still liked its own territory.

Click-click-click......

What was that? The conetooth looked around suspiciously, and just now it felt like it had heard something strange...... It's a delusion, right?

Shaking his head and savoring the delicacy of the prey he had caught today, the conetooth fish swam leisurely into the burrow......

Bang!

Sensing the pain, the conetooth slapped its tail and backed, the wound above its nose furious, and the creature in front of it furious!

This guy with blades as sharp as a knife is his neighbor, a former defeater, a damned arthropod! The conetooth growls angrily, and it looks like this time you have to use death to remember the lesson!

The conetooth fish opened its mouth violently and bit it, and the creature on the opposite side, which was ten meters high, also opened its sharp limbs and stuck the teeth of the conetooth fish, and for a while the two sides were in a stalemate, but the snout strength of the conetooth fish was obviously greater, and it was only a matter of time before the other party was defeated! As soon as it can't parry, it will be immediately shredded by the sharp bevel teeth!

Win! The conetooth fish excitedly increased its strength even further!

Click-click-click......

The voice...... At the top? Not a hallucination? Isn't it this guy in front of you?

The sudden strange crunch sound caused a chill to emerge from the conetooth, and it looked forward, only to see the arthropod opposite it, which theoretically had a very low IQ, grinning strangely at it...... Seems to be laughing!

The next moment, the sharp object tore the neck of the conetooth fish from the top, and when consciousness was dying, the godless eyes of the conetooth fish looked upward, and a bright light source appeared above the light that had always been only faint light, which looked so dazzling......

Then it plunged into endless darkness.
