The white jade carapace between the islands, the wheel of time flickering.

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

"So let's go in this direction......"

In just a minute, Feng had to retreat out into the ocean from the strange but extremely uncomfortable land environment that he had discovered, and gestured to the Aurora fish controlled by Xinglan in the direction of the land he had just seen above...... Although Xinglan actually knows how to get around better than him.

It's not a long way to get to the coastline of the macro continent from here, but there are other factors to consider when you're out and about, such as ...... Xinglan turned her perspective upwards and looked at a sunset sky.

Well, for example, it's time of day, it's almost night, and although it's only a few kilometers from here to the coastline, it's obviously impossible to reach your destination before nightfall. As a race that walks on the dark seabed all year round, the dark night does not bring much trouble to the peak, but as I have said before, even if the light of the sun is not visible in the village at all, the sea giant still maintains the habit of a diurnal creature under the adjustment of the biological clock.

The darkness of the night does not affect their steps, but fatigue and sleepiness do, and in this unknown and dangerous natural environment, fatigue can be a very dangerous thing.

"If, as you said, there's still a week left...... "Xinglan surveyed her surroundings, "then it should be quite a bit of a stretch, maybe we should just leave tomorrow morning." ”

"What's wrong?" However, after waiting for a while, Xinglan didn't hear Feng's response, and looked a little surprised, only to find that Feng was staring intently at the gap in the outer wall of the island, "Is there anything there?" ”

It was obvious that it wasn't the noisy, ubiquitous three-pronged crabs that were now gathering this level of attention, but some kind of interesting creature.

"Not sure......" Feng responded after a few seconds, lightly smeared a small cloud of light fungus from the carapace on his chest and smeared it on the crack opening, cautiously looking at the inside, but it seemed that the light of the light fungus could not illuminate the crack that bent back and forth inside, "Maybe we have to try it directly." ”

He raised his left hand slightly, and the cyan carapace on the surface quickly stretched out under the drive of the muscles, and soon reached the limit of the area it could cover, almost enveloping the entire hand impermeable, and even the soft palm was covered by a thin shell.

This is the final form of protection that the sea giant will only unfold in the face of unknown dangers, and the bloat and sluggishness it brings are not suitable for combat, but this fully enclosed palm form is especially useful in some places to explore, and can avoid a lot of danger.

"Is this dangerous?" Seeing that Feng looked like he was facing a great enemy, Xing Lan couldn't help but ask.

"No, if that's it...... A little caution won't be a big problem. Feng shook his head, and then carefully inserted his right hand, which had been sealed by the carapace, into the crack in the rock, "If this is the same as the legend, maybe you can get a ...... from here"

Feng suddenly stopped talking, his arm stiffened as if he had touched something, and then quickly reached forward, but unfortunately the first time he didn't seem to have time to grasp it, and he began to carefully grope back and forth inside the crack.

The opening of this rock crack has been jointly monitored by Feng and Xinglan, unless there are other exits inside, it is impossible for the creatures trapped in it to escape from here, and it is only a matter of time before Feng catches them again.

Therefore, Feng was not in a hurry, but carefully and slowly groped inside the crack...... Although the full-coverage cyan carapace can protect his palm well, it also inevitably makes his palm feel a little dull, and when he can't see, the touch is the only thing he can rely on.

Finally, Feng seemed to have once again groped for the creature hidden inside, and the movement of his palm immediately accelerated, as if he was trying his best to grab the other party, and that creature was obviously not willing to be restrained, and even Xinglan, who was waiting outside, heard a series of rapid crisp crashing sounds, as if something was quickly hitting the carapace on Feng's palm!

Something hard, striking continuously for a short period of time.

Soon, Feng's face changed after quickly grasping it, and then his expression seemed to be a little crying and laughing and he withdrew his hand, and his fingers were tightly grasping a jade-like white and crystalline arthropod leg, which was still twitching intermittently under the control of residual nerve currents.

"In the face of such a bad form, would you rather break a leg than escape?" Xinglan watched Feng throw that arthropod leg directly onto the seabed on the side, and always felt that this thing looked a little familiar, "What a decisive guy, he can even be so ruthless to himself." ”

Answering her was Feng's somewhat frustrated voice: "That...... Actually, I grabbed it too hard, so I broke this leg......"

"......" Xinglan couldn't help but be silent for a moment, "...... Be careful next time. ”

"Yes." Obviously, this setback didn't make Feng give up trying, and after a failed experience, he was confident that he would not make the same mistake again, and he was eager to capture the poor creature hidden in the crack in the rock again.

This time, he didn't just use one hand, but also put the other hand into it together, both hands groping back and forth in the crack at the same time, the crisp collision sound and the sound of the water being quickly stirred up in it were just the other party's weak struggle, which could not affect Feng's actions in the slightest.

"Caught!" Shouting excitedly, Feng surrounded the creature hiding back and forth with both hands at the same time, and carefully grabbed the other party before retracting his palm from the crack in the rock.

It was a creature with the same color as the previous arthropod leg, its carapace white and crystal clear like jade, and it emitted a little white light in the darkness...... That's right, it's not the bright reflection of the carapace under the light fungus, but it's itself emitting a beautiful fluorescence, and behind it, a slender multi-segmented tail is flickering back and forth, and a hard tail spine at the end is flashing with cold light, it is obvious that it is attacking the cyan carapace covering the surface of Feng's palm at an extremely high frequency, but unfortunately, just like the previous attempt made by the Trigem Crab, this level of strength of the attack is completely defenseless for the sea giant.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a fierce weapon at all, but rather a work of art, and if placed on earth, that transparent and pure clarity is definitely a more precious material than jade or ivory, and this beauty is enough to make people crazy.

However, for Xinglan, the color brought her a kind of disappointment, and the joy of discovering a new species suddenly turned into disappointment, because this creature is also one of the creatures that has been registered in the memory bank for a long time: the glow sea scorpion.

An ancient species with a long history, but there are no new changes, except for the shrinking size, everything is still the same, a little disappointed Xinglan looked at Feng with excitement on his face inexplicably: "You need this glowing scorpion so much?" What can it be used for? ”

"Useful, useful, very useful." Feng said as his fingers slid lightly to the neck of the glow sea scorpion, and gently broke ......

With a click, the glow sea scorpion's struggle stiffened suddenly, and then slowly softened. Feng quickly got rid of its dangerous tail spines and all the arthropod legs, and at the same time explained to Xinglan: "Its white shell is very useful, it can be cured by crushing it and eating it, basically minor diseases can be cured directly, but this creature is almost invisible in the village, it is very, very rare." ”

So, this glow sea scorpion shell is still a kind of Chinese medicinal material? Xing Lan, who was a little funny, looked at Feng and handled the corpse of this glow sea scorpion a little rustily, but if it was just to cure the disease, it would not be so important, after all, a glow sea scorpion was so big, I am afraid it would be enough for the sea giant to eat two or three times at most.

"That's not the most important thing." After listening to Xinglan's question, Feng replied, gently grabbing the body of the glow sea scorpion with his hand and turning it over, "This is the most important thing. ”

At this moment, the outside world finally fell into darkness, the sun set the horizon, and in the sound of the carapace of the large trident crab, only the light fungus on Feng's body was still flickering slightly, illuminating the thing attached to the carapace of the glow sea scorpion's abdomen.

In the dark night, five black curved lines were clearly visible on the gray surface, and the disc-shaped strange flesh pieces wriggled gently, even though the glow sea scorpion it was attached to had lost its breath of life, but this thing was still announcing to the world: it was still alive and vigorous.

Feng carefully grasped the wheel-shaped lump of flesh, removed it from the glow scorpion's abdomen like a plug, and gently placed it on the cyan carapace of his left arm, which quickly attached itself to it using the abdominal sucker-like structure.

"What's that......" Xinglan couldn't help but ask, and at the same time, she couldn't help but look at the big hole in the glow sea scorpion's abdomen that almost ripped out of her internal organs...... It's not that the peak is dry, it's that the carapace there is no longer there.

"A strange creature that lives on the belly of a glowing sea scorpion, but it is not harmful to other creatures, but it has interesting abilities." Feng seemed to be in a good mood, happily looking at the strange piece of meat adsorbed on his carapace, and after taking out some food crumbs and putting them on it, the meat piece quickly and firmly absorbed those food crumbs and slowly absorbed them, "Didn't you ask the ancestors how they kept their time?" It's on it. ”

"What do you mean......" Xinglan looked at the watch-like lump of flesh and seemed to understand something.

"There are a total of eight black lines, all of which disappear in the early hours of the morning and appear at noon." It was also the first time Feng had seen such a thing with his own eyes, and it was difficult to hide his excitement, "You can judge the current time by looking at the extent of the appearance of the lines, according to the ancient saying, this creature is called the Kalachakra, but it has been a long time since anyone has had it again." ”

The primitive biological structure resembles a sponge, but it can express the external form of the biological clock, and the eight black lines appear and disappear in turn, which is the end of the day. This ancient creature that is constantly reincarnating between the looming and appearing is the Kalachakra, the wheel of time.
