The sunken plains are bewitching red flowers, and the crystal body is flickering.

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

Visible but intangible, neither alive nor dead, hovering near the boundary between life and death, the guardian of the Netherlands. They never stop others from entering the Underworld, but once you cross their area, no matter how careful you are, there is no hope of survival. This indescribably strange creature, its name ...... The Demon of the Other Side.

Its life form is so unique that even Xinglan can't judge its evolutionary process and former ancestors at all, and Xinglan even suspects that this creature is a new species completely recreated, because it has completely departed from the category of carbon-based creatures in terms of its living habits and morphological structure, and this huge difference in genetic and molecular structure makes the other side demon look like a creature that appeared out of thin air on Lanxing.

Projection? Phantom? Hallucination? Monster? No, they are not imaginary, nor are they supernatural, just magical creatures that float freely like gas.

"This illusory form looks weird, but it's actually fragile." When Xinglan slowly stretched out his hand through a hazy humanoid form composed of demons on the other side, the other party could easily let his arm penetrate as if he were a real ghost, but once he stirred the air with a violent movement, these slowly moving points of light would instantly lose the order of maintaining a vague form, and directly collapse into countless looming points of light scattered in the air......

In fact, even Xinglan didn't understand what kind of life the other side demon was, saying that they were similar to a single-cell structure with no intelligence, and they could simulate the general form of the creatures they saw, and they also had the distinction between different figures. However, if they are individual creatures with self-knowledge, they are composed of the clouds of light mist, but they are not like it, because these light mists do not seem to have any division between who and who in different groups, and each time they are dispersed, they will be intertwined and entangled, and even form a new blur with the light particles of other groups. But if you think that the entire area of the other side of the demon here is part of the same huge individual, then it is even more impossible, Xinglan can determine that the connection between the invisible particles that permeate the air is not so strong and tight, not to mention that a large group of consciousness should not exhibit such a reaction of a completely instinctive creature.

Perhaps, as a completely different creature at the atomic and molecular level, these monsters follow a new life model that has never been seen before.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a gust of air broke up several vague figures that were slowly floating in front of him, turning them into faint particles of light suspended in the air. Xinglan didn't wear shoes, and the soles of her bare feet stepped directly on the soil of the nuclear continent, step by step, straight through the middle of these shimmering light particles, allowing those fine points of light to collide with small bright spots on her clothes.

As far as the eye can see, you can see the dark blue areas formed by the gathering of light flats everywhere on the ground in front of you, and you can also see faint clusters of light called the Demon on the Other Shore wandering on the boundary line of life and death, but at this moment, what attracted Xinglan's attention even more was the clearly recognizable red shadows on the plain not far away.

Visually speaking, the ancient monster bodies that were about half a meter tall and stretched out layer by layer in shape stood neatly on the radioactive contaminated land of the nuclear continent. In the dim sky, the bright fiery red appearance looks particularly eye-catching, and from a distance it looks like a giant flower blooming on the plain...... Flowers on the banks of the Styx.

"Well, what the hell is this? Is there another village in the willows and flowers in the poor mountains and bad waters? Xinglan tilted her head cutely, looking at the vibrant scene in front of her, "Since it was close to the coastline of the nuclear continent, the density of life has been decreasing, and even nearly extinct for a time, but when it arrived at the radiation environment that is generally completely deadly, the frequency of life began to increase?" ”

If it weren't for the precise positioning ability of the signal particles and the Geiger counter, whose readings were constantly rising, it would not have been wrong, maybe Xinglan would have really suspected that he had unknowingly gone back and gradually moved away from the core of the nuclear continent.

However, it is true that this place has entered the high-concentration radiation zone of the nuclear continent, and the creatures that appear here are also extremely resistant to high-concentration radiation in the air...... Even ignoring the potential harm of radiation.

"Huh?" Thinking about it, Xinglan, who was a little distracted, forgot to observe the nearby scene for a while, and suddenly stepped into the air and stepped into a small pit on the ground.

The strong control brought by her quick reflexes allowed her to move her body in the air for a while, and then quickly regained her balance, so that she did not fall awkwardly because of such a small matter.

"Hmm, it's so strange, what kind of ...... is this" Xing Lan, who had regained her footing, was stunned for a moment, and looked down in some surprise, in this gray radiation plain, a small crater with a depth of about ten centimeters and even a diameter of more than ten centimeters suddenly appeared, "What is the situation?" ”

Xinglan bent down, her red eyes staring at the depression in the soil layer, revealing even the hollows in some of the rocks below. After holding out her finger and pressing lightly on the bottom of the crater, Xinglan was convinced that it was indeed just a pit, not some hidden entrance to the underground tunnel.

"Strange, this crater doesn't look like it was formed by geological changes in its natural state, but rather like it was formed by a miniature meteorite falling from the sky and bombarding it......" Xinglan observed the surrounding area of the crater, and could clearly see that there were faint circles of diffusion on the nearby soil layer, as if it was formed by air shock waves, but she quickly shook her head again, denying her thoughts, "No, the crater shouldn't be this size, Meteorite debris that can withstand atmospheric scorching should definitely not have more than that, and there are no very obvious signs of heat burning on the soil layer here. ”

Xinglan, who hadn't seen anything famous after watching for a long time, frowned, but she didn't dwell on this strange pit for too long, but stood up again and continued to walk towards the red flower-like objects in front of her that were half a meter high.

……

In fact, if you don't add the weird associations, the Beyond Monster is a very beautiful creature composed of countless flickering light particles, and you can even see them as elemental elves. But despite this, after a few minutes of continuing to walk forward, Xinglan finally began to get a little bored with these demons on the other side.

In fact, the reason is very simple, although the appearance of the demon on the other side is very magical and interesting, but when Xinglan is ready to explore the red unknown object in front of him, there are always hundreds of scattered ones that will quickly gather and float again The hazy light and shadow dangling in front of him......

It's annoying that you're floating around like this, hey!

It's rare that some fried girls look at these entangled guys very unpleasantly, but they have to admit that it is not easy to deal with these guys who are almost immune to physical attacks.

Well, you should bring a giant fan to deal with these guys......

However, Xinglan soon stopped thinking nonsense, because the abrupt pit appeared in the ground in front of her again.

Not a pit, but a pit.

"No......" Xinglan stared ahead in surprise, as the plain seemed to be a shattered frost surface...... Well, among the three moons of Lanxing, Shuanglin will be smashed by meteorites, and the protective effect of the atmosphere of Gangli and Qingyan on meteorites is even stronger than that of Lanxing's atmosphere, "What is the condition of this terrain?" ”

The land covered by sedimentary soil should be relatively smooth and flat, and even weathering will only further promote its leveling, and what can really completely change the terrain is often geological changes or river flows, but it is clear that the land that seems to have been bombarded by a cluster of miniature meteorites in front of you is not formed by geological changes or rivers, and the ground is full of such small craters at a glance.

If you have to use an analogy, it is probably like being bombarded by the opponent's artillery units in the middle of a war, and those red unidentified objects that Xinglan can clearly see in the distance are surrounded by these pits.

"This shouldn't be a naturally formed landform...... "After comparing it with the data in the memory bank for a short period of time and simulating many possibilities, Xinglan still couldn't find any way to explain the landform in front of her, and finally, she set her sights on the targets of this trip: those fiery red objects that are half a meter tall and look like giant flowers spreading out layer by layer, "It's not a natural landform, and this era is obviously not bombarded by artillery fire, then it can only be a change caused by living things." ”

As the distance got closer, the textures on the not-so-large red objects became clearer, and even though she still didn't understand the significance of this gorgeous form of petals on the wasteland of the nuclear continent, Xinglan was almost certain that these fiery red giant flowers were some kind of special radiation-resistant plant similar to the light lawn...... Well, from a distance, they are also unusually stable in the wind, and there is not even a trace of shaking, maybe they are also rigid structural shells similar to Guangping.

With this anticipation, Xing Lan's pace couldn't help but speed up a little, but a faint light that suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye stopped her steps.

"That's ...... What the? ”

Xinglan looked down at the ground, and a small green point of light appeared in a pit at his feet, flickering faintly, even if it was not particularly bright, it was much brighter than the light of the demon on the other side, and more importantly, this small point of light was constantly moving in the pit!

Xinglan bent down and looked down curiously at the fast-moving point of light in the small pit, and only then did she see its true face: an ant that looked like an ordinary shape, except that its body was a crystalline transparent color, and its tail had a light source that glowed like a firefly, and it was this light that attracted Xinglan's attention.

"It's so beautiful, it's like a craft sculpture......" Xinglan gently stretched her hand to the ground, and the little ant flexibly climbed to the center of her palm, "Holding it in the air is like a small fire of the Spirit, let's call you the Fire Ant." ”

When the height rose rapidly, the little ant in Xinglan's palm seemed to finally realize that something was wrong, it poked hard, but it couldn't pierce the artificial skin at all, and turned around in some surprise to meet Xinglan's eyes that emitted a faint red light.

The tentacles on the Stygian Fire Ant's head trembled slightly, and its body suddenly clumped up, and even each leg was firmly curled up, except for the light point that still flickered on its tail, it looked as if it was completely dead.

"Huh? Playing dead? Xinglan looked at the fire ants curled up in her palm with some surprise, however, before she could react, the world in front of her was suddenly covered with a white light in the next moment......

Rumble!
