The sky and the sea are all forbidden areas, and the vast earth is dominated by ups and downs.

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

Or since the emergence of the first flying creatures from the evolutionary trend, the formation of the Lanxing Sky ecosystem has entered an inevitable stage, whether it is plants, animals, or even large-scale microbial clusters are closely linked to each other in this system, and it is completely indistinguishable.

On Lanxing, the so-called sky ecosphere is not the earth or solid clouds floating in the sky, but a rather ethereal world, completely different from the traditional ecosystems of the earth and the ocean, which has almost no static components. Here, even the most stable plants in the living world will no longer have a fixed position, all the creatures in the sky biosphere have the ability to fly, and all life is moving along the trajectory of the air current, constantly rising and falling in the endless sky, this is a world that is in motion all the time.

No one knows when the first floating plants first appeared, just as no one knows when the first land plants first appeared, only that they have appeared in large numbers since someone noticed this. These sky travelers are never tied to a single continent, but are able to travel back and forth between several continents and oceans throughout Lanxing...... Even if it is a nuclear continent, if it is a high-altitude and low-radiation zone far from the ground, they can still come and go here.

Those monsoon skies are busy shipping routes.

Mu Xue raised her head and looked at the sky, and after squinting her eyes slightly to avoid direct sunlight, even with her naked eyesight, she could vaguely see those small black dots floating back and forth in the sky. Not all of them were floating-leaved grasses, there were many other creatures mixed in, and even many high-flying animals on the ground occasionally went there to hang around, such as Tai Chi birds and the like.

It was a world she never seemed to be able to touch, a sky as unfathomable to the Moon Prayers as the inland to sea giants, and only when they learned how to use external forces to make themselves fly could they hope to explore that world.

"At least, I already have a floating-leaved grass." Mu Xue used the vines she was carrying to tie the floating-leaved grass to one end, and then tied it back to the trunk...... She couldn't take it with her, as she might have inadvertently destroyed it in an emergency, and if she stayed here, she could take it back on the way back.

After doing all this, she couldn't help but laugh at the floating-leaved grass tied to the trunk like a balloon, and stroked the inflatable leaves of the floating-leaved grass with some nostalgia, this was the first time she had the opportunity to touch this living plant: "Wait here for me to come back." ”

After taking a deep breath, Mu Xue, who let go of this floating leaf grass, jumped to the ground along the trunk again, tidied up the somewhat scattered vine clothes, and looked at the distant sky in the distance, as if he vaguely heard the huge roar of the sea.

She didn't personally try to cross that ocean, but from the stories of those who had experienced the transition sea, she could also see how violent and ferocious the sea was in the real merciless moment, but when she stopped on the shore during the day, the ocean in front of Mu Xue was always a quiet and peaceful blue world, extending infinitely.

Each patrol will be a long observation along the coastline for several hours, in fact, strictly speaking, it is still a very easy job, after all, it is only necessary to look at the sea view, and every time the people who say they are going to cross the sea are rarely able to see it...... At least during the time Mu Xue was on patrol, she had hardly seen anyone who had been able to successfully cross the sea to get here.

Even if this is the narrowest section of the strait on Lanxing, it is still too dangerous for these moon prayers who are difficult to make canoes, and even a little stronger wind and waves can easily overturn the boat and throw the moon prayers above into the vast sea, and it is difficult for the moon prayers with the best water nature to rely on their own strength to swim all the way to the end.

In fact, the Northern Yuan Continent is not all covered by ice and snow, the icy and snowy environment is mainly concentrated in the north, and its southern coastal area also has a large forest distribution, but those forests mainly composed of trees such as the striated leaf tree are really unable to provide enough food for the Moon Prayer people, and in recent years, it seems that a strong cold air has been raging there, making the ambient temperature of the entire Northern Yuan Continent region drop rapidly, and the survival of the Moon Prayer People there has become more difficult, and they can only risk migrating south.

"Let's go, then." Stopping her thoughts, Mu Xue was about to continue along the route she was already very familiar with, but she only took a few steps forward before she stopped, and a small grinding sound caught her attention...... This time it won't be her delusion.

Salad salad, this is the sound of the body and the leaves rubbing against each other in the movement, in the face of this unknown situation, Mu Xue's hand has unconsciously touched the dagger on his waist, and he is concentrating on observing the wind and grass around him.

But soon, a familiar feeling flowed through her body, making her relax, and the hand on the dagger was withdrawn, she seemed to already know what was about to appear in front of her, and sure enough, it didn't take long for an orange-red figure to appear in front of her from the forest in front of her, without even a hint of concealment.

The fluffy plush tail hung freely behind him, and the sharp horns on the top of the head were wrapped with yellow threads, but this did not make it look so terrifying, and the pair of yellow pupils without the whites of the eyes were staring at Mu Xue like this, and there seemed to be no trace of emotional fluctuations in them.

Feeling the familiar trembling sensation flowing through her body, Mu Xue did not feel fear or disgust, but exhaled lightly, relaxed a little, looked at the existence in front of her, and directly called out the other party's name: "Long time no see, Lonely Cloud." ”

If the next scene appeared when they first met, I was afraid that even Xing Lan would be startled, so Lonely Yun nodded in response, and then walked over slowly. Its body was still the same as it had been, and it didn't seem to grow with the passage of time, except that the blood-red symbol on its chest had disappeared, leaving not even a trace.

The eyes still seem very empty, but the hollowness is only a superficial phenomenon, and its heart may no longer be so numb.

Gently, Lonely Yun seemed to show a strange smile and stretched out her furry hand to Mu Xue, who also reached out to hold each other and hugged it affectionately without disgust.

……

In the dark starry sky, a point of light is moving intermittently flickering, a starship that is flying towards the nearest star in a continuous short jump.

Since there was plenty of time this time, and a number of starships were dispatched at the same time, Xinglan set up this action command for some of the ships: if the chaos jumps to a barren vacuum, but there are stars within the last hundred light-years, then they will make a short jump in the direction of the star until they arrive.

Because the probability of a chaotic jump appearing in a barren vacuum is too great, it should be possible to explore as many stars as possible in a short period of time if it were to be done this way...... Xinglan doesn't think that life can only exist next to stars, but after all, this search is the most likely, just like why most of the search for extraterrestrial life is based on water.

However, before the spacecraft reached the faintly visible point of light in front of it, it had forcibly stopped the continuous jump through the reaction of the internal signal non, and even if it did not reach the location of the star, it felt the strange fluctuations coming from the starry sky ahead.

[If there is an abnormal reaction in the gravitational wave detection, the process will be aborted.] 】

[The jump engine prepares for an emergency shutdown and begins to survey the gravitational point.] 】

The Leap Engine, which resembles a combination of two diamonds, spins at an extremely high speed, and the harsh white light on the surface gradually dims as the energy supply is interrupted, and the speed becomes slower and slower, and finally its calming down means that the entire ship has returned to sub-light speed.

The ship switched back to normal jet propulsion mode and continued to sail at sub-light speeds, while a large number of equipment began to detect the gravitational reaction in the vacuum ahead at superluminal speeds.

[Interstellar Exploration Formation No. 10 ships began to upload relevant information. 】

In the dark world, it seems that some kind of strange and incomparably magnificent artifact is slowly emerging, and it may appear in front of this visitor in an impressive posture at any moment.

……

"Huh? Looks like you've encountered something interesting......"

Xing Lan, who was standing in the forest, was slightly stunned, the information that suddenly came from the signal sub-network just now aroused her interest, originally this deep space voyage appeared in an uninteresting place many times in a row has made her feel a little hopeless, but now this abnormal discovery suddenly came: "It seems that this interstellar exploration will have some unexpected discoveries." ”

"Found a place worth exploring?" Xijie rubbed his body lazily and asked with some curiosity, "Have you finally discovered a strange place after so many years?" Is it a living planet or a sign of an advanced civilization? ”

"I don't know yet, I'm trying to probe the gravitational distribution in space." After connecting there through the quantum network, Xinglan quickly rearranged the work tasks of various equipment, and her face was slightly strange, "There are no stars nearby, but these reactions are a little unusual, this shouldn't be in the empty starry sky......

"That's it, but what are you going to do when it comes to Mu Xue's affairs? And Lonely Cloud, aren't you going to meet it again at all? Xijie struggled with these questions with some distress, and she also questioned some of Xinglan's practices, "After taking it in for so long and then saying that you would leave, you don't plan to let it see you again?" ”

"Lonely Cloud is no longer so helpless, and he can't integrate into civilized society, so he should really go back to the wild environment, right...... Maybe in the last part of its life, we will meet again. Xing Lan looked into the distance a little unnaturally, obviously she was not so firm in her thoughts, "As for Mu Xue, I have prepared a little surprise for her...... Maybe? ”

"After all, she's Yumo's daughter......"
