Chapter 158: The ...... Inserted into the Ground Obliquely
Tracking and guiding what is falling from the sky, the bottom of the canyon has a dark view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before all this happened, Xinglan had never imagined that she would be suddenly attacked in such a way on Arashi.
When an eerie screech was heard in the sky, she was walking towards the volcanic area looming in the distance. Probably due to the erosion of lava flows, the ground of the nuclear continent has become uneven here, covered with many delicate patterns that wrap back and forth like flowing water, and dry soil is deposited on the surface.
However, this is definitely not good news for Xinglan, due to the damage caused by the attack of the fire ants, the mobility of this body and legs has also been greatly affected, and it is really a bit tangled in the pits and mounds that appear from time to time.
It was precisely because of this that when Xinglan heard a strange sound from above and turned the perspective of the signal to look up, she couldn't even manipulate her body to make a flexible dodge action, she could only stare blankly at the fast-falling dot in the sky......
Thankfully, while the polar snail is diving very fast from a high altitude, it is nowhere near the speed of supersound...... Otherwise, no matter whether it can hit the target or not, it will definitely be the first to be crushed, which gives Xinglan a short time to dodge after hearing the sound.
No problem, it's completely out of range of the attack!
Even though her body's movements were slow and clumsy at the moment, Xinglan quickly calculated this conclusion, and without a moment's hesitation, she began to control her body and run away from the impact point, even if she was confident that the alloy structure would not be knocked out by a blow, she had no intention of trying it herself.
At this moment, the polar snail that is only a few hundred meters away from the ground only needs a few seconds to quickly hit down, although this time is very short, but the polar snail is still too small after all, it is impossible to have the earth-shattering range of destructive power like an asteroid impact, theoretically speaking, it only needs to avoid the frontal impact of the main body and basically nothing will happen, and the area of the frontal impact is only a small range.
However, even Xinglan inadvertently forgot a very important thing, if the attack of the Polar Snail could really be dodged so easily, it would not be too difficult for other creatures to escape from this impact zone, wouldn't this species have been completely extinct under starvation a long time ago?
The spiral snail that sprints down in the air is not just a stone that fell from the sky, it has a life of its own, and don't forget, what is distributed on the surface of the conical tip of the spiral?
Behind a thin layer of transparent crystals, there are a large number of extremely sharp eyes!
The eyeballs rolled slightly, still staring closely at all the movements on the ground below during the high-speed descent, Xinglan's dodge did not make the Polar Snail hesitate in the slightest, it just made a very simple movement.
The airbag carefully sprayed a portion of the gas to the side, changing the descent trajectory, and the tip was still firmly pointed at the target!
"What ......" Seeing this sudden scene, Xing Lan couldn't help but exclaim, but when she changed the direction of movement, the polar sound snail above also changed its track again at the same time, and the distance of 100 meters was instantaneous......
Bang!
At the last moment, Xinglan originally tried to roll sideways to dodge, but the movement structure of the pit father was extremely unstable, making the overall movement slow down by half a beat, and the tumbling turned into a direct fall to the ground......
But fortunately, this time she fell, and the extreme snail almost hit the ground against her arm, and the impact of close range lifted a thin layer of soil on the ground, exploding into patches of dust and filling the air.
"What was that? Good...... It's dangerous! All of this happened too suddenly, and when Xinglan lay on the ground, she could clearly feel some kind of cold and hard object not far from her arm, "This kinetic impact is really strong......
After the smoke cleared, it was clear that a white cone nearly a meter long was stuck diagonally into the ground, the hard diamond-like surface showed no signs of cracking, and the air bag attached to the end of the cone had almost completely deflated, like a rain cover attached to the cone.
"This is a creature? It looks too strange, isn't it......" Standing up from the ground again, Xinglan carefully looked at the snail that was motionless and inserted into the soil, and when she saw the floating eyeballs behind the transparent crystals on the surface of the cone, even she couldn't help but feel a chill, and stretched out her completely mechanical finger and gently poked the transparent crystals, "These chips are as hard as the white smooth shell next to them...... Yes! ”
When Xing Lan's fingers touched those transparent crystals, those eyeballs that had been randomly shaking since they landed seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly began to turn in unison again, staring at Xing Lan in unison, the corpse-like dead eyes and the red blood vessels on the surface of the eyeballs that were rapidly congested and swollen made Xing Lan quickly withdraw her fingers and subconsciously take a few steps back.
It is conceivable that the jelly-like spherical soft membrane on the back of the crystal and the tissue fluid that allows the eyeball to float and rotate inside must have played a very good cushioning role, because only in this way can the eyeball maintain its intact structure under the huge g-force of the sudden braking just now, and at the same time, the resistance of its internal microvasculature and nervous system is obviously extremely strong...... It's almost the strongest on Arashi.
Obviously, the attack had failed, and the Polar Snail had quickly recovered from the concussive vertigo as he stared closely at Xinglan not far away, and launched a remedial action.
"Isn't it......" Xinglan watched in surprise as the junction between the end of the white cone of the Polar Snail and the airbag slowly opened, revealing the internal body tissue, which contained more than just a mouth full of sharp teeth.
One by one, tentacles still covered in damp slime slowly emerged from within. The octopus-like tentacles were clearly powerful as well, some of them waving in the air to keep Xinglan from approaching, while others reached out to the ground, firmly supporting the slender white cone like a multi-legged scaffold. After completing this series of movements, these tentacles supporting the ground exerted force at the same time under Xinglan's unbelievable gaze, pulling the white cone upwards fiercely!
…… Ahem, I didn't pull it up.
The corners of Xinglan's mouth twitched, and she watched with great wistfulness as those seemingly mighty and strong tentacles kept trying to pull the subject out of the dirt, but they couldn't pull it out at all because it was stuck so tightly, and she couldn't help but have black lines on her head.
Sure enough, shouldn't you expect too much from the ability of this sky creature to move on the ground? Are you really sure you didn't come here to be funny?
A faint sizzling sound sounded in the air, and it was the polar snail reinflating the air sacs above it...... It seems that this poor guy who has fallen into bad luck is planning to pull himself out with the buoyancy of the airbag after it is fully charged, plus the power of the tentacles, but there is an obvious problem here.
To create enough lift to sustain the air, it is not just enough to draw air from the air, it must also be a gas that is less dense than air, and for this apole snail that has been vented of gas, it is estimated that it will take a long, long time to fill the air bag completely from nothing with the secretion of gas secreted by the cells......
Well, this guy looks like he's going to have to wait, and while he's sure to be able to get out of it on its own, it's going to have to be stuck in the dirt for a while.
Not thinking at all about how to deal with this sudden crisis if it was an ordinary creature with limited nerve reflex speed, nor did she consider the problem that once it hit the soft animal body, the polar snail would not be stuck at all, Xinglan once again classified the polar snail as a funny character in her heart, looked down at the polar snail that was still trying to pull itself out of the dirt, and silently turned around and walked towards the mountains visible to the naked eye in the distance.
"We don't have the patience to wait here for you to pull yourself out...... Then goodbye like that, cute little one~"
The slender white spike stuck obliquely into the gray and barren earth, and the thick radioactive dust in the sky was once again blown open by the wind, and a few golden rays of sunlight shone on it, making the beautiful lines of marble on the surface visible, and the legend says that whoever can pull it out of the rock can ......
Hmm, the pleasure of being besieged by sharp teeth and tentacles?
……
Lanxing, the Southern Yuan Continent, the Great Rift Valley of Xundi.
Are you going to die...... Are you going to die...... Are you going to die...... Are you going to die......
In the final stage of free fall, this series of thoughts circulated wildly in Xijie's heart, although theoretically speaking, Xijie at this moment can be separated from and replaced with a new body even if he dies physically, but Xijie is not a person like Xinglan who has not been a normal creature since birth, and even physical death is completely accustomed to after dying so many times, she has never experienced her own death...... Even if it's just physical.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is not difficult to understand, even if you know for sure that you are 100% sure that you will not fall to your death after jumping, but ordinary people still will not have the courage to actually jump off a building to do an experiment to prove this, right? Kindness...... Psychologically problematic change. The state does not count.
For the first time in his life, Shiokyu faced a real danger of death...... There was no Xinglan by her side to help her manipulate her body to deal with the crisis like she had done on the Leaf Worm Island last time, and she was a little scared and stupid, although even if she was sober, there was no way to deal with the crisis in front of her.
However, in fact, the crisis faced by Xijie is not as big as she imagined, and the canyon here is only 100 meters high, and the height of twenty or thirty meters has been cut off when the ropeway vine breaks for the first time and begins to fall, and then the hook on the way greatly buffers the impact of the fall......
Bang!
After a collision, the tide finally reached the bottom of the canyon, and the entire field of vision darkened for a moment......
It's so dark...... Is it dead...... Is it over......
After a few seconds of dizziness, the violent feeling of suffocation suddenly made Xiyu's half-closed eyes widen, and he began to subconsciously struggle frantically.
Eh, it seems...... Not dead yet?
(Speaking of which,I don't know why there have been a lot of people in the group recently.,I'm so happy to say~ Also,I was surprised to find that the book actually had a sticker.,Although I still don't understand which book friend helped create it...... )
