Chapter 303: The ...... of Different People Under the Same Moon Shadow
The sky wept blood, the blade moved, and the defense line was broken.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Countless rays of light streaked across the sky, rendering the entire blue sky of the day extremely brilliant, as if the meteorite rain that had lasted for thousands of years in the Spark Age once again descended on this land that had long been reborn, and it seemed to symbolize the reappearance of the rain of light that sprinkled most of the Lan stars at the beginning of the new Yuan Era, but it was different from these two after all.
Xinglan didn't look up, but she clearly watched the strange changes in the sky. Although the picture of the firelight falling from a high place is spectacular, it is not a super-large-scale mutation that directly affects the world after all, in fact, this scene only lasted about two minutes, and most of the firelight did not fall to the ground at all and was quietly extinguished in mid-air.
Creatures in almost the entire area could see the strange sight that suddenly appeared in the air, but probably due to the difference in distance, until the sudden rain of fire almost completely disappeared from the sky, and there was no such sight that could ignite the woods.
Through the signals that spread across the entire sky, Xinglan came into close contact with the burning objects that streaked across the sky, but it seemed that they were composed of ordinary inorganic debris, like someone throwing a rain of stones from a high altitude, and disappeared and only burned out in the atmosphere due to friction normally.
However, this bizarre meteor shower is absolutely inseparable from the previous earthquake, and from the information available so far, the most plausible possibility is that a small meteorite fell in the northern region, which caused the sudden earthquake, and the meteorite debris was scattered all over the sky.
However, this is impossible, although most places on the Arashi Star have adopted a casual and laissez-faire attitude, but the monitoring of the space near the Arashi Star is extremely strict. This is not only to prevent unexpected meteorite bombardments, but also to beware of extraterrestrial visitors.
In the vast sea of stars, it may seem very unlikely that this planet will be visited by chance in the eyes of ordinary people, but if this time span is extended to billions of years...... Without much explanation, Guanglanxing's previous encounters with alien civilizations already speak for themselves.
After a few minutes, the fire in the sky had completely disappeared, and only sporadic rays of light made a slender trajectory from time to time, and the fauna that had been frightened by the ground had gradually begun to recover. For these wild animals in the plains, they did little real damage other than being frightened, and some of the predators who had first come back to their senses had quickly reacted and began to stare at the prey that were still in a daze, showing their fangs and claws again.
Brokenblade recovered from its fear, sniffing the scent in the air for a moment, and then involuntarily intending to follow Twilight's route. Noticing that the giant beast was starting to become a little unsettled, Xinglan narrowed her eyes and turned to block in front of it.
There is no need for verbal communication, and the meaning of this action could not be clearer.
Broken Blade let out a low hiss, grinning open enough mouthparts to tear flesh apart in an instant, it was mainly subordinate to the scent of Twilight Snow, and other similar Moon Prayers could also be regarded as second-level breaths, but Xinglan had no binding force on it. Under these circumstances, the giant insect gradually began to reveal its ferocious nature.
It longs to move forward, and the chemical smell that remains in the air is like a drug that attracts it deeply, and it can't help itself. In this case, Xinglan blocking its path obviously made it an emotional flashpoint. It stared at the man in front of it, even if it was crouching on the ground, it could still look down on Xinglan, and raised the largest pair of bladed limbs, the joints making a crisp crashing sound.
"It's a troublesome guy, the place ahead is messy enough, I can't let you go there and make a mess." Xinglan sighed softly, looking at the Plains Stalker's massive bladed limbs that were large enough to cut bones, she hadn't intended to experience the strength of the thing for herself. Therefore, just as Broken Blade swung down the blade limb vigorously, as if he had seen the other party's head separated, Xinglan abruptly moved his body to avoid the huge blade limb that was swung down, and then kicked the foot under Broken Blade's body wrapped in a spiked exoskeleton...... That's right, just a kick.
Judging from the comparison of the size of the two, this kick should be a force that Broken Blade can barely feel, but in fact, it is the opposite, its huge body twitches violently. Despite the hardness of the carapace, it was clearly lacking in some heat to collide head-on with the alloy, and it couldn't ignore the pain.
"Wasn't it very imposing just now?" Xinglan pursed her lips, revealing a smile that looked maliciously, and then made the big guy in front of her shake all over, took out a dagger and slashed through the air about five centimeters in front of its eyes, this action made Broken Blade can't help but take a step back, "Continue to play majestic." ”
Xinglan won't do too much hard work, although it is not impossible to completely cripple this guy who was already seriously injured, but they will have a headache after that. Therefore, she simply educated it in some way that was not disabling but was painful......
……
Of course, Twilight Snow didn't know what was going on between Xinglan and Broken Blade at this time, it was the first time she had come to this settlement called the Shining Moon Forest, but it was clear that it had come at an inopportune time. How much damage can a giant tree nearly 100 meters high cause in the moment it collapses? It's impossible to really appreciate that from a distance, and although the area of influence is not large, the interior of this area is like a large number of explosions in an instant. The bullet was completely in ruins...... Fragments of the trees that had broken by the force of the impact were scattered everywhere, and a long wound had been cut across the entire forest, leaving a deep pit in the ground.
She noticed that the branches of many of the trees were covered with strings of small stone flakes, and although most of them had been completely frozen or shaken to the ground, there were still a few of them making a crisp crashing sound in the wind. The collision sound is like a background sound, and because of these strange little stone strings on all sides, it sounds like an echo throughout the space.
This environment can interfere with some animals that rely on keen hearing, and even discourage some cautious predators, but the Moon Prayer people themselves do not rely much on hearing, so it has little effect.
This was supposed to be a line of defense, but there was obviously a huge gap in this special line of defense, and when the Moon Tree fell, it completely destroyed the nearby Leaf Tree, like a bomb bomb, and of course, the Moon Prayer People in those positions.
They weren't the first people to rush to the scene of the incident, and those who weren't at the center of the accident were already there...... It's the first time she's seen so many of her kind, even though things don't seem like a good thing. Men and women, young and old, all have long silver-white hair, but their bodies are completely different colors. Not everyone dressed as thick as Suhui, and some of them even wore only the same clothes as the southern moon prayers, which, combined with their pale and thin appearance, made it seem as if they could die at any moment.
In fact, there are not a few old people who have died like this...... Twilight can understand this approach, when faced with a tribal crisis, the first person who needs to protect is always the child, and the first person who needs to give up is the elderly. It may seem cruel, but in fact most of the old people are voluntary, and they understand that they have no future.
There weren't many rescue measures, and the reason why Suhui rushed over was only to confirm the casualties and not to save the injured. This is not a society that has really entered the industrial age, and it is impossible to have specialized rescue equipment. No one could move a huge weight to rescue the seriously wounded, and even if they were all freed, most would not survive for a few hours. To put it mildly, the disabled but surviving people are completely burdening the tribe at such a time, and it is better to be stoned to death on the spot.
There were many people praying for the moon, but most of them stood silently in front of the fallen praying tree, and the collapse of the praying tree brought them not only material damage, but also a heavy mental blow, and some vulnerable people even sat on the ground in despair and sobbed quietly.
Almost all of the last Moon Prayer People in the Northern Yuan Continent are here, and there are not a few who were directly involved in it when the giant tree fell before. However, most of the dead are impossible to identify at all, and the overwhelming impact is enough to shatter people's bones, even in this age of death, the proportion of casualties is enough to be staggering. Looking at the moon-praying people who were grieving for the loss of their loved ones, Twilight felt her inner unease growing, and she couldn't imagine what it would mean if Rainfoam was among them...... I don't dare to continue thinking about this issue at all.
Su Hui was also silent for a long time, looking at the scene in front of him as if it was a hell on earth, especially the few places that were dyed bright red. Just when Twilight thought he had forgotten about her, he finally turned to look at Twilight, trying to suppress his emotions by taking a deep breath, "Come with me, I'll take you to the priest, whether it's to report the crossing of the sea, or find someone, you have to come." ”
Twilight looked at the deep pain in his eyes and nodded slightly.
……
Remnant, underground base, source spore repository.
The monitoring equipment in the laboratory was working normally as usual, and there was no abnormality on one of the circuit boards, and the white spore filament was still clinging to the chip, and did not interfere with the normal operation of the chip, allowing the electrical signal to flow through the vicinity of the spores.
Suddenly, the end of the wisp of the source spores was lengthened, a process so rapid that it is impossible to describe in terms of time, it was an instantaneous process, and it was lengthened in that instant.
No one knew that the white spore filament inside the container where the main body of the source spores was stored not far away disappeared at the same time for no reason.
