The tide rises and falls, and the coast is frightened, and the road ahead is pointed to when you return.

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

Time, just an illusion.

When Caiyunhua, an existence that seemed to have been precipitated in the depths of her memory a long time ago, appeared in front of Xing Lan again, she suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence a little, and that strong sense of unreality had been spanning Lan Xing's countless years, and the arrangement of fate was unpredictable.

"I'm completely dead, and my body is starting to rot......"

On the shore of the Nanyuan Continent, Xing Lan pinched the blue flocculent with one hand, and looked at the dead body of the Moon Prayer Man with some regret, even if it had been pinched and deformed and soaked in the sea for a long time, she could still be sure that this was a fragment of the petals of the Caiyun Flower, but it was a pity that the corpse in front of her was obviously impossible to tell her where the petals of the Caiyun Flower came from.

However, she was not in too much of a hurry...... In fact, as a very patient existence, Xinglan has been really anxious only a handful of times so far, and in most cases she can wait leisurely and leisurely for the answer to surface by herself, and she has time to wait.

Well, if it's for something, even if it's a thousand years or more, it's nothing. But while some people are calm, there are always others who are in the opposite situation.

"So who the hell are you?" Contrary to Xing Lan's indifference, Mu Xue looked at Xing Lan over there with a tangled expression, she couldn't figure out what the situation was now, "Are you...... Demon? Never seen it from the north? ”

At the junction of land and sea, gusts of wind howled, and the air was filled with the salty smell unique to the sea, but at this time, Mu Xue no longer cared about appreciating the magnificent beauty of nature, and even the owner of those broken wrecks was temporarily left behind by her, she just looked at Xinglan in disbelief, and her muscles tensed to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

Looking at Mu Xue's nervous look as if she might pull out a dagger and stab her at any time, Xing Lan also felt a little helpless, maybe she should continue to hide from the beginning? But since that's already the case, let's move on.

"If I'm crossing the sea from the north, what am I doing here to check the situation?" Sighing softly, Xing Lan was no longer entangled in the corpse, but looked at Mu Xue interestingly, "As for the question of demons, to be precise, I am not the kind of demon you think I am, it depends on what you think, little Mu Xue~"

"You know my name?" Mu Xue, who was directly called out by her name, was almost shocked into a cold sweat, this is not a simple situation like a chance encounter, the other party may even know her well, why......

For the first time, even with the strong physique of the Moon Prayer People, Mu Xue felt a hint of coolness in this gust of sea breeze.

"I said, should you settle that situation first than to pursue this issue?" Xing Lan's face suddenly became a little weird, and she stretched out her hand and pointed behind Mu Xue, "This guy looks really good...... Isn't it afraid of sudden death if the oxygen supply is insufficient? ”

Mu Xue was slightly stunned, of course she didn't immediately believe Xinglan's words and turned around, it was very likely that it would be just a scam and would give the other party a chance to sneak attack, but when a crisp sound of joint collision continued to sound from behind her, and a strange smell filled the air, she showed a surprised expression. However, she did not immediately look back to see what the creature was, but did not hesitate to bend down and jump towards the reef on the side, and even if her hands were cut through the skin, she grabbed the gap in the reef to stabilize her body.

It was a wise choice, because the next moment she dodged from the spot, a long black shadow swooped down from behind at great speed, and slammed into the reef with a burst of reflective luster, but the other party soon found himself in the air, straightening up on the reef in annoyance, and letting out a hoarse roar.

However, this hiss was not aimed at Mu Xue who had just dodged, but at Xinglan who was still standing there in front of him, and it seemed that this guy quickly chose Xinglan as a new target after Mu Xue dodged.

"So it's been a long time since I've seen such a vicious big guy......" Xinglan didn't panic at all, and looked at the monster in front of her with a smile, or rather...... It's a monster worm.

The centipede-like slender body and dense feet make it look particularly terrifying, and the section by section body is almost upright on this reef, and its vertical height of more than two meters makes it look like a monster that has just come out of a horror movie...... Well, a horror film by the standard of earth civilization.

"Giant arthropods? How did this guy run to the coast and bring it? Mu Xue immediately recognized this famous large predator, this is definitely not a good guy to get along with, it is as easy to eat the Moon Prayer as it is to swallow a bun, and the extremely low primitive IQ makes it almost impossible for the Moon Prayer to communicate with it, and there is no possibility of taming it like the guide insect, this creature has almost nothing else in its mind except for mating and predation, "Don't be in a daze, it is going to pounce on you!" ”

Although he has a lot of questions about Xinglan and is full of vigilance, if he wants to choose between Xinglan and the giant arthropod, he will get along...... It is obvious that Mu Xue could not choose the latter.

After hearing Mu Xue's words, Xing Lan was a little surprised, but she soon laughed, this relaxed appearance made the giant joint insect in front of her who was preparing to attack hesitate a little, although its IQ was very low, it didn't mean that it wouldn't feel that something was wrong.

"The oxygen content of Lanxing is higher than that of Earth, so the power of life can be even stronger...... However, the limit of what insects can grow to this extent is almost the limit. Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, and quickly jumped to the side, just in time to avoid the bite of the giant joint insect, the black carapace hit the reef, and half of its body was almost wet by the waves.

But obviously, this giant bug is not afraid of water at all, as for the tide knot...... Now it is using the body of the Tai Chi Bird to make it completely unsuitable for how to fight, so it has risen awkwardly into the air with the flight posture that it has learned with great difficulty, and silently watchs.

In just a few seconds, Xinglan quickly pulled out the dagger, and slashed her right hand violently across the body of the giant joint insect, but what happened next still made her feel a little stunned, even if the alloy dagger hit the black carapace, it only left a clearly visible white scratch, and it did not successfully cut into the internal tissue.

"Cut through the gap!" At this time, Mu Xue did not stand idly by, but took this opportunity to rush to the back of the giant joint insect, and also brandished a dagger to pierce through the gap in its tail joint, accompanied by the sound of a balloon leaking, a large green viscous blood suddenly emerged from the joint. This time it really made the giant knotted insect choke enough, it screamed, and didn't bother to turn around to retaliate, but continued to rush forward for a distance, jumping directly into the sea water in front of it, only to see a large area of green blood appear on the sea surface, and was constantly washed away by the waves.

"It's really timid...... Xing Lan watched speechlessly as this giant arthropod worm went directly into the waves, it seems that the previous judgment was a little wrong, this giant worm is not only not afraid of sea water, it can swim in this ocean quite happily, just like a water snake twisting its body and diving quickly, "If you are slightly injured, you can run away in a hurry, is it really good to save your life to such an exaggerated point?" ”

She looked at the place where the giant knotworm had burrowed into the water, but the tide ebbed and flowed, and the white waves of the flowers almost completely obscured everything below, and even the sun's rays were very bright, and she couldn't see anything clearly, not even the approximate depth of the water.

"Don't go over!" Mu Xue suddenly opened her mouth to stop Xing Lan, the expression on her face was quite serious, "That guy hasn't left yet, it's a trap!" ”

"Traps? Could it be ......" Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then realized something, her face was a little gloomy, she looked around and picked up a large piece of gravel, and slammed it towards the place where the giant knuckle worm entered the water just now, with a faint dull impact sound, a vague black shadow suddenly jumped up from the sea water, and let out a piercing hiss, what else could it be that the giant knuckle worm hiding in the sea water?

At this point, however, it was clearly wounded on top of its wounds, and even the roar of the demonstration seemed a little weak...... Xinglan almost smashed it with all her might, although it was impossible to kill it directly through the current, but it seemed that this guy was still unlucky to be hit in the head.

There was a tiny dent in the carapace of its head, and it looked a little dizzy from the smashing, and it no longer bothered to attack its chosen prey, and hurriedly plunged down one of its mighty stabs, this time Xinglan clearly saw that it was really swimming along the coastline without looking back, as if it no longer wanted to face such a tricky prey.

"Just now, thanks for reminding me." Although even being sneak attacked doesn't necessarily cause much of a deal. Troublesome...... In particular, it is necessary to consider the problem of whether the giant joint insect can bite the alloy skeleton, but Xing Lan still thanked Mu Xue, at least this kid is indeed very kind-hearted.

"It's nothing, this bug always likes to pretend to leave and then wait for an opportunity to attack." As if thinking of something, Mu Xue's expression was a little heavy, "At the beginning, there were a few people in the forest who just didn't see the giant knots still hiding in the canopy, so they would ...... if they climbed up rashly."

It seemed easy for Mu Xue to repel the giant joint insect just now, but in fact, it relied on the sharpness of the alloy dagger to a large extent, if a moon prayer person was allowed to hold a stone tool or a wooden tool to fight against the attack of this giant joint insect alone...... It's hard to say what the end result will be. Of course, if it were a sea giant here, with their hydraulically powered exoskeleton, it would definitely be a stress-free way to tear the giant arthropods.

Mu Xue lowered her head a little sadly, and didn't bother to ask Xinglan about her specific origin, at least the cooperation just now had proved that the two sides should not be enemies, but her attention was quickly attracted by something else, which was the reef she stepped on at this time.

"Wait, is this ......" Mu Xue hurriedly bent down and carefully wiped some dust off the surface of the reef, revealing a clear white scratch below, which was a somewhat strange arc-shaped symbol, which looked like a sharp arrow shot from a bent bow, "So they didn't actually ...... And there are also people who are quite familiar with the moon prayer here! ”

Xinglan also looked at the symbol, she also recognized that symbol after observing the life of the Moon Prayer People for decades, and the meaning of that symbol was actually very simple in the daily life of the tribe here.

It's just an arrow that is used in the forest to point to sex.
