The body of the rock module goes by, and the snow crystal phantom is mixed.

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

Crunch...... Crunch...... Crunch......

Even in a windy environment, the cacophony of grinding sounds unusually clear, but it can be extremely uncomfortable for those who approach...... The strange tones of grabbing a blackboard with your fingernails are constantly transmitted through the gaps between the hard solids that squeeze against each other, changing the tone according to the characteristic rhythm of the oscillation.

The solid structures that looked like ancient rocks reposition themselves in small and regular increments, and the weather-beaten reddish-brown textured surface was covered with small green areas that looked like bryophytes, making you want to reach out and touch them.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."

Akira's words, which seemed to be as cold as the environment, suddenly came from behind, causing Twilight to stop her hand from continuing to stretch forward, and she looked back at the person standing on the thick snow not far away, and smiled apologetically, "Is it because if you continue to stretch over, you might be squashed?" ”

The girl's long silver-white hair danced in the wind, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky, falling on the strands of hair like a gorgeous hair ornament. The crescent-shaped pupils of the Moon Prayer Man are very slender at this time, not only because the intensity of ambient light is not low at this time, but also because the special structure that restricts light from entering the retina even greatly weakens the effects of snow blindness in a sense.

After all, the essence of snow blindness is the phenomenon caused by the long-term exposure of the eyes to ultraviolet rays and bright light, and it can be greatly relieved when the amount of light entering the pupil is weakened.

"But I wasn't really going to put my hand into that narrow gap." Twilight retracted her hand under the heavy cloak made of Sunrise hides, and even a brief exposure in this environment was enough to feel the pain of a knife...... The cold wind seemed to turn into countless sharp blades, tearing at everything they could touch, "It's just that I've never seen such a large individual before." ”

She said as she stepped back a few steps to make way for the big crunching one. It is a pile of rocks that appears to be a pile of rocks placed on top of each other, but its regular movement and always closely connected structures prove it: it is a rust monster, like its close relatives.

In terms of the confusion of life forms, the Rust Monster is probably second only to creatures such as the Monster of the Other Shore that have completely departed from their normal structure. It completely abandons the legs that most creatures use for locomotion, and instead completely divides the entire body into dozens of rigid modules of various sizes, relying on the relative motion of each other to propel the overall movement.

The inorganic shell covered in the surface is so close to real natural rock that it is as hard as it is, making the seemingly innocent creature of the Rust Man have to face something that many crustaceans face: molting in order to grow.

The growth of rust monsters is very slow, and in their long lifespan is far longer than that of other creatures, most of the rust monsters are small existences, and occasionally some rust monsters the size of hounds can be found in the forests of the Nanyuan Continent...... But those rust monsters were not at all a level of existence compared to the rust monster that Twilight saw in the snow at this time, it was too big.

When they saw it from a distance in the snow, they thought it was just a pile of rubble that was not covered by snow by chance, but as they got closer, they soon discovered that this pile of rubble, which was about five or six meters long and high, was not really disorderly. Each of its modules is tightly connected, slowly moving along with a sharp and piercing grinding sound, driving the whole forward.

It was a Rust Monster, Twilight had never seen a Rust Monster this large, not even half of its size, she didn't know how the slow Rust Monster could find enough food to sustain such a large size, not to mention that the Rust Monster in front of her was still trudging through the snow...... It leaves a long strip of clear indentation on the back.

This was the spectacle they encountered as they left the Radiant Moon Forest and trekked through the vast wind and snow, but it was definitely not the only spectacle. The gigantic rust monster was large enough to bite off an adult moon-prayer's neck just by its beak, but it was clearly as uninterested in them as its smaller counterparts, even ignoring Twilight Snow standing very close to it. However, Twilight obviously didn't plan to test how strong the other party really was, even if the rust monster wouldn't take the initiative to attack, but the huge house-like body alone was enough to squash her directly, which showed that its strength was not small.

There was no attack, no communication, they just stared at each other in the vast snow, and then staggered past, never to cross paths again.

Twilight lifted her feet slightly, and even though the southern Moonmen still walked barefoot in the forest most of the time, the Northern Moonmen were apparently able to craft something similar to a shoe that wrapped around their feet from animal skins. Although this is just a simple wrap, and it still can't prevent the feet from being frostbitten by the cold, it is obviously not a grade compared to walking on the snow barefoot, and if it is directly stepped on the snow, it is impossible to support the physique of the Moon Prayer Man for an hour.

The Rust continues in its original direction, and no one knows how it knows where it looks, what it is looking for, and how it survives. The state of mind of this creature is as a complete mystery as its physical structure, and is never understood by other creatures.

Twilight watched as the Rust moved around the snow, and though it didn't move very quickly, it was far larger than the rest of its kind, and she had no idea how many years the weather-beaten Rust had lived. Of course, even if each step was large, it would take a long time for it to be completely out of view in this snowy weather, and Twilight Snow saw Xinglan again when she turned around.

Whether it's Twilight Snow or Gloomy, it's actually very difficult to advance in this climate, so in contrast, Xinglan, who moves much faster and basically ignores the cold environment, is once again in charge of the task of finding the way...... Of course, you can also understand that Xinglan has to turn back and wait for them to meet here every time she walks.

The Moon Prayer People don't have the magnetic positioning ability of the Xin Yu people, so in this kind of environment where their vision is limited and they can't see the sun clearly, they are easy to get lost, so Xinglan is also responsible for leading the way.

However, when Twilight saw Xinglan's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be startled, because a slender scar appeared on Xinglan's right cheek at this time...... It wasn't just blood, it was as if the entire strip of skin had been torn off, revealing a portion of the skeleton that shimmered with a metallic sheen. However, Xinglan had apparently given up on this part of the wound completely, and when she walked in front of Twilight, she couldn't help but look at the giant rust monster in surprise, but she quickly looked at Twilight and Suhui seriously: "Use the extra animal skin to cover your body as much as possible, don't expose your skin casually, there is something very dangerous here." ”

Needless to say, just seeing the scars on her face was a sign of its danger, and Twilight and Glowrose quickly covered up their hands and feet that had been exposed, except for the long silver-white hair that was still exposed, even the face was deeply hidden in the shadow of the hat, and no one wanted such a slender scar to be ripped out of their face.

"What made that?" Twilight looked at Xinglan, who still didn't cover herself with her clothes like they did, "Is it really okay to leave this wound like this?" ”

"It's fine." Xinglan shook her head and wiped the remaining traces of blood from her face...... In fact, the artificial skin has only a few samples similar to blood stored inside, so it doesn't bleed as continuously as a real wound, "and there's no need to worry too much, it's supposed to be a very small flying animal, and it won't attack locations where the skin is not seen." ”

"To be on the safe side, let's go white." Su Hui spoke, and by the time he said this, he had already begun to turn his skin almost white like ice and snow, "This should be useful." ”

Twilight nodded, and she quickly adjusted her skin to a white color like ice and snow, this ability of the Moon Prayer is really very convenient in many ways, since it is not a large animal that forcibly injures Xinglan by violent means, then the danger is relatively reduced a lot...... Of course, the premise is that they don't move in clusters like eclipse bees.

"Well, I've looked around the road ahead, and there's good news and bad news at the moment." Xinglan tidied up her clothes that had been blown a little loose by the wind, her red pupils seemed to be faintly flickering, and she glanced at the large rust monster that had walked out dozens of meters away, even she had never seen such a big rust monster, "First of all, the good news is very simple. ”

She held up a motionless white object in her hand, which Twilight had thought was a solid ball of snow at first, but she soon realized that it was an animal, except that its surface was completely covered in snow and snow, and its body was covered in white fluff and curled up in a ball. It shook violently when Xinglan poked its middle with its other hand, revealing its red eyes and short limbs, a creature that Twilight had never seen before, but Xinglan knew them, the Snow Crystal Rabbit that she had encountered with Shioyuki.

This is a highly stealthy snow creature, not only camouflaged by visible light, they can even achieve stealth in the infrared band.

"The good news is that there is enough food for today." Xinglan teased the Snow Crystal Rabbit a few times, but she had no intention of letting it go, it was not easy to find food in the snow field at this time, even if she didn't want it herself, Twilight Snow and Suhui needed it, "As for the bad news......

She sighed softly and pointed to the world in front of her, which was completely obscured by wind and snow: "You can go over with me and take a look." ”
