Tracing back to the source of the unknown target, the road is long.

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

Shioyu raised his head, his sapphire-clear eyes staring at the almost cloudless sky...... The low-altitude clouds were now at her feet, and even though her eyes couldn't see anything unusual from them, the inexplicable palpitations still kept her eyes off.

At that moment, it was as if an invisible brilliant fireworks burst out in the sky, and at this moment, the brilliance faded, leaving only the last trace of afterglow.

It wasn't a special signal, it wasn't even inconspicuous in the noisy electromagnetic waves of her surroundings, but she was surprised to find that she couldn't ignore it at all, and her brain's attention was involuntarily focused on the electromagnetic signal coming from above, even though it was so faint. What puzzled her was that the signal was not a complicated message, it was just repeated.

[Do you feel anything unusual too?] I don't know if you still get it. ]

The person who brought her here also looked at the sky, and seemed to be speaking to her in that strange and complex tone, and after these days of getting along, she had begun to understand the language somewhat, but after thinking about it, she still didn't show that she could understand it.

[Again, since I left there, I've been feeling more fading signals lately than I've ever felt before, so I'm glad you're okay, otherwise I'd have gone back and explained to everyone......] It seems to have been evoked some sad memories, his expression is no longer as relaxed and happy as before, but full of deep pain and indescribable sadness, [this time the guy has disappeared, it is expected to see his physical state before, but I still can't help it......]

Tears slid down his face and fell to the ground.

Xijie stared blankly at him and started crying, and he didn't know what to do for a while. She also didn't know what it was like to lose someone close to her, and she couldn't even remember what her parents looked like because she had left them at a young age...... She didn't have the image that Xinglan showed her, and most of the people who could be said to be close to her now could live better than her, so it was unlikely that she would have the opportunity to experience that experience, which was far away for her.

[There is no environment in the outside world that allows us to continue...... However, staying in one place all the time is not a long-term solution, and once a disaster occurs, it will never be recovered. Sighing softly, he was talking to himself rather than to Xijie, [but is it really worth it?] So many lives and resources have been wasted, and in the end there is nothing to be found, and we have had to go back. ]

Other Xijie may not be very clear, but she probably guessed some of the reasons why she had to go back. The purple branches, which were originally filled with electricity, have begun to become more and more disobedient under the continuous drawing, which means that its power reserves are weakening, and not only because of the extraction, but even if nothing is done, the power inside will continue to be naturally lost. Similar branches were also found on the Xin Yu man in front of him, but except for the four branches he was constantly using, the other branches on his body had no energy reaction at all, and were now just hard branches.

Of course, this energy can't be generated out of thin air, and the Xinyu people are constantly drawing electricity from this purple branch, but these electricity must have their original source and way of replenishment, what is it that can provide such a huge energy reserve? Xijie doesn't know, there are too few clues now, maybe he can find the answer when he arrives at the destination.

The purple branches they carry determine the limit of time that the Xinyu people can move outside...... It is not possible to save this extra consumption without using supernormal abilities, they have long since become too dependent on this power in the long process of evolution, and their usual diet is not so much to replenish energy as to replenish matter. In fact, most of the internal organs of the Xinyu people also rely on electricity to maintain normal operation, once they lose a stable external source of electricity, the energy provided by food is simply not enough to maintain physiological consumption, they will become weaker and weaker and eventually their organs fail, and they may suddenly fall into a coma.

The only intelligent race that can soar in the sky, the race that seems to be the most free, is firmly bound by this invisible shackle, like an animal that is chained, always calculating the distance away from the center. Because of the need to travel long distances, they were not destined to carry a large pile of purple branches, which would increase their load.

[Actually, I don't know if this place will eventually take us to a distant homeland......] The Xinyu man sighed, and looked into the distance with some melancholy, [but the way he came is no longer available, this is the only object that has been seen in both places, maybe they can take us back to the beginning, or they may take us to unknown places, but otherwise, time is not enough.] ]

Stick to the limit of time that the remaining branches can provide.

Xijie looked up at the sun in the sky, she knew something about determining direction through the environment, the nest of the eclipse bee started from the Nanyuan continent, but it did not go all the way to the north, but all the way across the sea in a direction that was more eastward. These colonies are obviously not ocean-preferring species, so it can be assumed that they must be heading to other land, and the only question is where they will go, which is a mystery.

In the distance, in the woods, there was a chirp from far and near, and the owner of this cry was no stranger to them...... The giant bird with its snow-white feathers seemed to have been here ever since it discovered the Eclipse Hive, and although it occasionally left the floating island to wander the nearby sky twice, it always returned to this place again very quickly, leisurely hitchhiking. Although it is not known whether the other party is out foraging for food, at least during the time it has been on the Eclipse Hive, it has never eaten like a normal animal, and has not even slept except for the occasional pecking at the inorganic husk.

Shioyu didn't dare to approach the giant bird, even though the other party didn't seem to be aggressive, and he wasn't unhappy with their presence. In fact, the snow-white giant bird must have noticed their presence and should never underestimate the sharpness of these high-flying creatures, but it did much more than the tide knot, just watching them curiously from a distance.

This creature must have a fairly high level of intelligence, and it will often toss around some messy gameplay on its own, even if these actions can make a mess of the Eclipse Hive...... The poor colony had no menacing stance toward the other animals, and for several hours did not even dare to approach the place where the giant bird had roosted.

Something unknown loomed over its vicinity, a terrifying aura for many creatures, and as Shiokie tried to get closer to the bird, she keenly sensed an anomaly in the electromagnetic waves in her environment, which made her hesitate to move forward.

For now, the three forces on this nest suspended in the sky maintain an eerie harmony, and although they all don't want to see each other's existence, they still have to force themselves to ignore each other every day.

But today, apparently, the giant bird has come up with a new trick on the Eclipse Hive to pass the time of boredom, when Xijie forcibly pulls his sad companion to watch the bird...... Forgive her for now making this a daily routine like a visit to the zoo.

Well, habit is a terrible thing.

Although she had been mentally prepared, when Xi Yu saw this giant bird, which was probably idle and had some problems in her brain, kept fiddling with a few green orbs with her claws, she couldn't help but be thundered hard. The translucent giant green orbs were apparently trophies that the giant bird had brought back from leaving the Eclipse Hive to wander around, and Tiokie was no stranger to them: Megachlorella.

These are obviously relatively small megachlorella, with a diameter of about one meter, and if they are really replaced by those directly ten meters of macrochlorella, it is estimated that this giant bird will not be able to play with its claws casually. Although Megacoccus looks fragile and even translucent, the transparent shell on its surface that can protect itself in the chaotic air currents at high altitude actually has considerable toughness and hardness, so it can keep the structure intact without real force on the giant bird...... Whenever these megachlorellas are about to lift into the air under the buoyancy of the lighter gases inside, they are caught back and pressed back to the ground, which is simply too easy to do with its reaction speed.

[Cangqing, why do you like to watch this dangerous creature so much, I still think this distance is too unsafe......] Compared to Xijie, that Xinyu companion obviously has no interest in visiting the giant bird's live performance and playing with balls, especially when the giant bird looks at this side from time to time, at least in a sense, Xijie successfully made him forget those sentimental things, [It's not a good idea to play with the giant beast, hey, okay, I'm convinced of you......]

There was no need for any words, and Xijie found that at this time, he only needed to stare at him seriously and express his unshakable determination, and he would not be able to help but be defeated, although he still inevitably persuaded him repeatedly.

Maybe it's because staying with Xinglan for a long time is inevitably affected, Xijie is really not very afraid of those huge creatures now, but compared to it, the vast ocean below the Eclipse Hive makes her even more afraid...... Even if Xin Yu people are no longer as afraid of water as Mystery Xin, the psychological shadow still exists.

Maybe this guy's hydrophobia is really hopeless for the rest of his life.

The giant bird let out a loud chirp again, and the moment it flapped its wings, a sharp whistling sound came from its wings, and a powerful air current gushed out and directly blew the trees behind it rustling.

It's not just a flapping of air...... Tide Knot thoughtfully swept the strange folds of its wings and the trees behind it that seemed to be getting more and more withered, and squinted at his companion.

There will be time to figure it all out slowly......
