Chapter 269: When Death Is Near......
The twilight forest is silent, and the death crisis is a visitor from another place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long years will always erase all records, and after a thousand years have passed, who can remember what really happened?
Pray for the moon, this race that will become more and more prosperous in the future, may still record in the legend those earth-shattering changes that almost changed the entire appearance of Lan Xing, but more historical details have long been annihilated in the vast sea of history...... Perhaps only the Moon Prayer Tree, which has been watching this civilization for thousands of years, still remembers the stories when the two races first met, the story of the Moon and Xin Yu.
It was the beginning of this thousand-year-old encounter, the first domino gently pushed down by the hand of fate, a series of legends that originated from that first encounter, but it only left the last trace of the ethereal myth, and when their surprised eyes intertwined with each other, no one remembered...... They had met in those ancient times.
The third race of Lanxing, whose name in the language of the Moonprayer People is Xin Yu.
……
Laser insects, a creature that was later evaluated as a major scourge of the Arashi Forest, are widely distributed across the continent. Even in the face of a serpent or beast attack, some trained warriors can nimbly dodge the attack, but the laser worm attack is not dodged...... No one can dodge the attack of the speed of light in the forest, and once it hits the brain, it is impossible for the skull of the Moon Prayer to block the extremely penetrating laser rays, and a part of the brain tissue can basically be directly pronounced the death sentence of this person.
Of course, this does not mean that the laser bug can run amok, it is precisely because of the high energy consumption of the laser and the rapid weakening of the laser with distance that its hunting operation is full of dangers...... First of all, it must be very close to the prey, and secondly, once it has launched an attack, it will not be able to carry out a second attack for a period of time, so it will be in a very dangerous situation when eating the carcass of its prey, after all, the laser worm's own physical strength is too weak, and its size is also very small.
However, the laser worm's encounter is obviously somewhat unfortunate compared to its kind, although it is said that it is mentally prepared to die of failure every time before hunting, whether it is being slapped to death by a claw found by its prey before attacking, or being trampled by a giant beast while enjoying a feast, or even being inadvertently crushed to pieces by a passing rust monster, but it is definitely not the case now.
......The girl's crisp laughter may sound cute, but if the background of the story is changed to a dusk forest where the sun's rays are fading, and the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun leaves a long shadow on her face, it is estimated that this can directly become a supernatural ghost story, and in the eyes of this laser worm, everything it experiences at this time is a supernatural story.
"I didn't think it would be fun." The girl, who seemed to have been completely immersed in this novel play, happily narrowed her sapphire eyes, and looked closely at the laser insect that she was pinching one leg tightly, while the latter struggled desperately, and those small eyes at the joints of the legs stared at the creature that restrained its freedom of movement, and the huge transparent crystal on its back flashed from time to time with an unknown gleam, which looked a little strange and scary.
Of course, if other moon praying people saw this, they would probably be scared half to death, and it was extremely dangerous to bring the laser worm so close in front of them, let alone aim the direction of the crystal at their side. Although theoretically speaking, once an attack has been fired, the Laser Worm will not be able to launch a second attack in a short period of time, but the reality is not a game, and it is impossible to have such an accurate skill cooldown bar...... No one knows when it will break out into the next attack, so this behavior is very dangerous.
It's just that at this time, the appearance of this laser insect obviously looks a little wrong, although its body is struggling, but it is twitching unnaturally from time to time, and a few strange rays of light continue to flash in the focused crystal, but it can't maintain this light stably, as if something is interfering with the gathering process.
"This feeling, it seems that as long as you practice, it can be easily done......" Xijie muttered quietly, she was still familiar with this feeling that was not the same as her previous body, and the laser insect in front of her, which was originally intended to attack her, unfortunately became this test subject, and its bioelectric system was seriously disturbed under strong electromagnetic interference, and it couldn't even focus the beam normally, "I didn't expect it to be able to use it like this, it seems to be very good." ”
Finally, after verifying some ideas, she stopped torturing the hapless laser worm, and gently opened her other palm to the ground, the purple branch on the ground seemed to be attracted by some invisible force, and the sound of grinding against the dead leaves on the ground sounded particularly striking in this twilight moment.
"Well, this frequency is still not right......" Shiokyu seemed a little annoyed, but she quickly began the experiment again, gradually adjusting the fluctuations of the magnetic field, and finally, the purple branch suddenly floated up from the ground without warning, and floated leisurely under her palm, and then she easily held it directly into her hand.
The lilac branch doesn't seem to be distinctive except for its color, but when it is held in the hand, it is distinctly heavy, as if it is not a wooden structure, but a solid metal rod.
She carefully grasped the purple branch and gently touched the other end to the laser worm, which seemed to have a premonition of something, and began to struggle frantically like never before, but as the tide knot gently released a magnetic field of a special frequency, after a flash of light, it suddenly stiffened its body...... There was a scorching stench in the air, a level of electricity that was nothing for a large creature, but it was deadly enough for these small bugs.
"At this level, you can already control it skillfully......" Xijie casually threw the charred laser insect corpse to the ground next to it, and nature would soon dispose of it, and then looked up at the ice moon frost that was slowly rising in the sky, and felt a strong sleepiness, "It's a little boring to stay in this wilderness." ”
She shook her head, as if trying to sober herself up, but due to the problem of the body she was using, she couldn't go to the Moon Prayer Settlement like Xinglan, but when she took a few steps forward and suddenly her foot went weak and almost hit the tree, she suddenly realized that something was wrong: the fatigue was so strong, so strong that it was almost impossible to resist even knowing that she couldn't rest at this time.
This is a strong feeling of exhaustion from the body itself, even if she is conscious, she can't stop her limbs from becoming weaker and weaker, as if she has suddenly triggered a switch just now, Xijie found that this strong fatigue has permeated every corner of her body, and even her consciousness is becoming more and more blurred, and before she can figure out how to solve this problem, she has fallen to the ground softly. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she could only use the last of her strength to look up at the starry sky above, but she couldn't move at all.
There is something wrong with this body, and even if a normal creature feels tired, it is absolutely impossible to be so sleepy that it can't move in ten seconds!
The purple branch also fell directly to the ground with the gradual loss of the fingers, and the weak magnetic field on the surface gradually dissipated, and Shiojie could not care about this at this time, because she found herself falling into a state of uncontrollable sleep, and she was not even sure if it would be a dead sleep...... After all, this kind of thing is too weird.
The insects that were still screaming in the forest had stopped making noises for some time, and in this silent and terrifying environment, even Shiojie unnaturally felt a trace of fear, she couldn't do anything at this time except desperately open her eyes, even her fingers could only move slightly, and at this moment, a hazy light suddenly lit up in the forest she was looking at, like a firefly flickering.
What's that? Shioyu's eyes widened to see what it was, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only see a hazy mist of light, and at some point a strange aura began to fill the air. Shioyu didn't know if it was her delusion, the temperature seemed to get lower, and the chill spread in the air.
Is all this a hallucination of the brain in a state of extreme fatigue or is it a real thing? But no matter what, the strange mist of light did drift over, hovering above her as if to observe something...... That's right, it's a strong sense of being watched.
She instinctively wanted to dodge, but her body was so heavy that she couldn't move at all, and she could only curl up slightly, but this didn't help, as the light mist got closer and closer to her, her body's body temperature also dropped rapidly, as if she was in the cold ice field in the north, and the feeling of loneliness and fear became stronger and stronger.
If you go on like this, you're going to die! The instinct from life howls so wildly, not the death of this body, but the real inside out, even the consciousness called Xijie will die with it!
She began to panic, and even tried to escape the danger by directly detaching from the body, but her increasingly blurred consciousness made it impossible for her to concentrate on severing those nerve connections, and the strange mist of light had flown lower and lower, hovering almost low above her, almost touching the surface of the skin.
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of light swept above, accompanied by strong magnetic field fluctuations, and a voice not far away seemed to roar angrily, and this light mist seemed to be frightened all of a sudden, and spread out at a much faster speed than just now, floating directly into the depths of the dark night sky.
There seemed to be footsteps in the forest, and an unfamiliar male voice whispered something in Xijie's ear at a very fast speed, and then he picked up the purple branch from the ground next to him, and carefully placed it horizontally next to Xijie's mouth, so that Xijie bit the branch directly, and the two small fangs pierced directly into the inside, and then ......
What kind of feeling was that, a strange sensation like a slight electric shock enveloped her whole body, and a tingling sensation made her whimper softly, as if some kind of power was constantly pouring into her almost dry body, it was a wonderful feeling that could not be described in words, extremely comfortable and pleasant.
The unfamiliar voice seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he picked up Shiokyu's body from the ground...... This action didn't seem easy for him, because he wasn't much taller than Xijie's body at this time, and after a series of unintelligible syllables, he finally said something that Xijie could understand at a normal speaking speed: "It's okay, anyway, I've finally found you, Cangqing." ”
Invisible signals filled the air, more ethereal and unpredictable than that light mist, and the energy fluctuations that had just suddenly become stronger gradually subsided at this time, and returned to their original calm state again.
