The phantom flashed and was accompanied by mystery, cascading leaf barriers, blue ice and fire.

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

Nothing? Is it empty inside?

At that moment, Betton felt that the whole world had played a big joke on him, and this feeling was like being notified that he had won the lottery jackpot, and he had already started to celebrate, only to suddenly come to the news that it was just the wrong person.

Could it be that the things in this sphere can still be a festival, and if you say no, it will be gone?

However, it was not an illusion caused by a hallucinogenic magnetic field, it was obvious, and no matter how long he stared at the cracked white sphere, it was always empty and empty.

But how is this possible? The series of events that had happened before looked like the actions of living things. If it was just that there was nothing inside, then perhaps Bayton would have thought that the life of the white sphere probably lies in that shell, and that there may be a structure like an air chamber inside. However, after the sudden electrolysis before, the original tough and light sphere has turned into a crunchy substance like a biscuit, and even lost that light characteristic, and after compressing the mass, it has become this thin chip, which can only be heavily stranded on the messy earth.

No matter how you look at it, this pile of debris doesn't look like it's alive.

He lowered his body and carefully flipped the pile of debris, it was not easy to make such a movement in such a headache situation, but it was obvious that he found nothing, not to mention that his eyes could not see any clear abnormalities, and he could not even touch anything in his palms...... There are apparently no invisible creatures here. Just when he was really about to be completely desperate, he suddenly felt a faint paralysis behind him, and the voice of unknown origin suddenly spoke.

"Behind you."

Betton quickly turned to look behind him, but what came into view was an empty wood, but he still heard some kind of slender sharp tearing sound that seemed to pierce his front and back for a moment, and the faint paralysis appeared behind him again, looming away.

Betton turned around again, and the same thing happened again.

After repeating this several times, it seemed that there was no need to suspect it, and from the funny expression on the face of Fei Yi next to him, Betton had already realized something, the little guy who was not in shape was playing hide and seek with him.

For some reason, Bayton felt relieved at last.

He knew that this couldn't go on forever, and it did, and after repeating it a few times, the unknown creature didn't seem to plan to play anymore. This time, when Baton turned around, he finally saw the creature's appearance clearly.

It didn't seem to have a fixed form, as what floated in front of Betton was nothing more than a vague mass of air that faintly shimmered with a faint electric light. Even without eyes, it seemed to be able to clearly feel Beyton's gaze, and from the vague glowing gas seemed to extend a slender line-like object, and the next moment, the entire vague air mass seemed to be elongated, and suddenly disappeared completely from its place.

Baton didn't have time to catch the middle process, and the entire shimmering air mass suddenly appeared behind as if it were teleporting.

He knew that this mysterious creature was definitely not the one he happened to encounter in the woods here, it must have come out of the cracked white orb, but it was moving so fast that he didn't have time to catch it. It wasn't speculation, because he knew the creature, the living being that was recorded in the ancient texts of the vault.

They come and go with thunderbolts, and can flash short distances at incredible speeds, as if they can move beyond space, which is where their name comes from: Shadow Worms.

Although Betton thought it would be a good idea to name them Thunderbolt Worm or something, after recognizing that the creature born from the white sphere dropped by Thunderbolt in front of him was an Instant Shadow Worm, his brain was almost breaking through the sky in an instant, and countless thoughts quickly collided......

What is the relationship between the thunderbolt and the instantaneous shadow worm, these two mysterious beings that seem to be very different in size, but always follow each other?

The Shadow Worm is actually a larvae of the Thunderbolt, but a very small part of it will continue to grow and eventually become the powerful creature that shakes the world?

Or is the so-called thunderbolt actually just an illusion of light and shadow, and that huge limb is simply a cluster of countless fleeting insects?

Or are the two not the same organism at all, or even have a predator-prey relationship, or are they symbiotic groups?

At this moment, he didn't know which idea was the final truth, but he knew that he had taken a big step towards the truth.

"Bilibili......"

The Shadow Worm emitted a pleasant enigmatic sound through the arc of electricity that pulsed in the air mass, and it flickered back and forth around Belton...... It was not easy to catch up with the Feather's flickering track with the Moonman's dynamic vision, and the Blinker did not leave mysterious purple particles to mark the direction of movement after the flickering, so Betton felt badly hurt to his neck, but at least, he could see that the Fringer seemed to remember him and floated happily around him all the time.

If the Fleeting Worm is indeed a larvae of the Thunderbolt, then perhaps his feat of raising one will actually become a reality, provided that the Fleeter's growth cycle is not so long that it will take hundreds of years to complete...... The euphoria didn't last long, when it was interrupted by a strong shock, and this time Betton felt like he had been hit the head with a sledgehammer, and the vertigo from within his body made him convulse in pain and sweat rained down.

"I think you'd better turn around and leave." The voice reappeared, and continued to dissuade in a benign-sounding tone, "At first, the skeleton will only drive the unresistant creatures crazy in the growing illusion, but if you get closer, you will no longer be yourself, and your thoughts and memories will be shattered. ”

"What happened to all those moon prayers who came here in the end?" Beyton gasped, leaned against the trunk of a nearby tree, and asked into the nearby woods, as if he had vaguely realized something.

"The memory is completely lost, the reason is gone, and it has become a shell of instinctive action......" When he said this paragraph, the other party did not seem to have any sadness, but just said very flatly, "If you don't listen to the well-intentioned advice, you can only dispose of the shell that has become a beast." ”

They all know that the so-called disposal has only one meaning.

"Stand back." Biting the discharger in her mouth, which never seemed to run out of power, she shook her head at Baton, "I can't help you completely block out this effect, not even Silver White." ”

Betton looked up at the sky that had begun to become strange, and even so, he could barely make out the staggeringly large plant, the fuchsia vine called the skeleton. It was there, but it was completely different from the Moon Tree and the Native Vine in the Yuan Continent, just this distance within the reach of the eye had become a barrier that might never be able to be overcome, and it would never be possible to really get close to it.

"Bilibili......" The Shadow Worm flickered quickly and floated to Fei Yuan's side, seemingly dissuading Bayton from leaving. Betton took a deep breath and finally nodded, "Okay, let's step back." ”

If you want to move on, this is purely reckless.

"What the hell are you?" Beyton didn't set off immediately, but looked into the depths of the woods, his crescent-shaped eyes narrowed almost completely into an arc, "Are you the Heng Xun mentioned by the previous Moon Prayer Man?" ”

Everywhere and elusively, hovering on the mysterious macro continent.

The voice seemed to be silent for a while, and then it sounded nearby again: "You can think that I am Henghuan, but Henghuan is not me." ”

This sentence sounded a little puzzling, but when Bayton was still thinking about what it meant, Fei Yu had already said the meaning: "Because the so-called Heng Huan is not an individual, but a group, and you are just one of the groups called Heng Huan." ”

“…… That's right. This time, the voice acknowledged it directly.

"You should know that we don't have anywhere to go right now, and the plant called the skeleton is the only sign we can clearly see before heading towards it." Betton kept his eye on the nearby woods, trying to spot the hidden presence in the world obscured by the layers of foliage, "Then you should at least give some pointers, anyway, and do you know where the silver sister is?" ”

His question went unanswered, and the mysterious voice responded with action. There was a soft sound of branches and leaves clashing in the woods, coming from all directions, as if something was moving between the leaves, not the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

At first, Bayton thought it was his hallucination, like all the weird sensory messages that had come before, but when he noticed that Fei Yu and the red giant were also starting to look around, he realized that it wasn't the voice he heard alone. Something did move through the nearby woods, and it was coming from almost every direction around.

"Bilib...... Bilibili? ”

The Shadow Worm flickered above Beyton, as if its body was made entirely of gas, suspended in the air. From the faintly glowing air masses and pulsing arcs of electricity, it didn't seem difficult to see why it needed the strange magnetic stimulation emanating from the parasitic shimmering insects and skeletons in the down. Obviously, it is impossible for the fleeting insects in nature to encounter these two external conditions, perhaps they should have a special environment to stimulate hatching, but the fleeting insect that was taken away by Betton did not get that kind of home environment.

No one spoke, even the red giant, who seemed to have an invulnerable shell, was watching solemnly. In this environment, which is almost quiet enough to hear the sound of pins falling on the ground, the truths that have been hidden by layers of foliage are gradually emerging from the darkness.

The emerald green foliage was gently removed, and Betton seemed to see a blue flame burning silently in the canopy of the trees.
