The dark abyss surface disc glimmers, and the infrasound source is the desperate prisoner.

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

In the darkness, the only glimmer of light bloomed quietly.

Even if the whole world is plunged into darkness at this moment, not to mention the sunshine, even the light of the stars and the moon is gone, this small light still flickers, as if it will never be extinguished.

Tick, tick, tick......

It's the crisp sound of water droplets falling from a great height and crashing into a pond, day after day, year after year, perhaps it has been echoing for thousands of years in this abandoned corner of the world, constantly hitting the beat with the same rhythm, never getting tired.

At the sound of the water droplets, that glimmer of light flickered, faint as a candle in a raging wind, ready to merge with the surrounding darkness in an irresistible force. It was a cold light, not as warm as the firelight, but as cold as the pond here, but its presence burned like a flame, attracting the eye in a most thrilling way.

One by one, the pure and flawless saucer-shaped crystals of jade emitted a faint white glow, and they were held up in the air as if they were nothing, and they spread out like flowers blooming all over the tree.

Underneath the saucer-shaped glowing crystals are connected to a series of tough rhizomes that crisscross and converge on a unified trunk, but below the convergence point is not solid soil, but a calming pool of water that reflects beautiful patterns in the dim light...... The main stem went straight down into the water, and the root system was firmly rooted in the bottom of the water.

However, it is not a tree, and when compared with other nearby scenes, it will be found that this glowing plant is really small, including dozens of glowing saucer-shaped crystals with a diameter of only about seven centimeters, and each of its components looks very small, which is not difficult to understand why it emits only a faint glimmer of light in the endless darkness, and it looks crumbling.

The last light when everything plunges into darkness, this is also the ...... The last thing you can gaze at at night. This small aquatic plant seems to carry all the hopes, floating quietly on the dark surface of the abyss as if the heavens and the earth were not divided.

For a long time, this saucer flower was the only light in this darkness, and it was difficult to judge the specific passage of time in this place where only the sound of dripping water could be heard, and it could only be said that it was a long time before another light came from a distance, appearing in a brightness far exceeding the former, instantly bringing a strong burning sensation to the life here and sight, and the existence in the darkness could no longer bear such light.

This is the end of this underground passage......

With a hint of emotion, Xinglan did not hide her whereabouts at all...... There was no way to hide it, so he turned the last corner in the pond, and then turned his palm to shine the bright searchlight forward, so that everything returned to the light after a long time.

The scene in front of her was beyond all her previous guesses.

It's a modest underground space, completely occupied by a pond full of scavenging insects swimming, and in the center stands a huge stalactite...... Oh no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it is a stone pillar, because it no longer simply extends in a certain direction, but completely connects the ground to the top, forming a thick stone pillar in the middle of the pond that seems to be a supporting column, and it is clearly a real natural stalactite.

Here, too, Xinglan saw creatures that she had felt much larger than bugs and ghost rats, but far from being the giant beast she had guessed before, but something that looked hard to describe.

The orange-red figure curled up in a gap beneath the massive stone pillar, half of its body soaked in the cold water, and its appearance almost made Xinglan exclaim from a distance......

It's not a sea giant, it's not a moon prayer, but its slender limbs and features are extremely similar to those of a human, and it looks like a standard humanoid creature no matter how you look at it. Its size is actually not large, if it stands up straight, it is about a meter, it looks like a child, and it looks very thin when curled up at this time.

It's hard for Xinglan to describe her heart at that time, could it be that just an unintentional expedition allowed her to discover the third civilization race on Lanxing? In any case, the only thing that is certain is that the child in front of him is definitely hiding a big secret.

But soon, she realized that the other party's situation at this time was not just resting here, a thick vine was tied in a knot around its waist, and the other end of the vine was wrapped in a circle, firmly wrapped around this huge stone pillar. Even if this vine is certainly not as tough as the Burnt Gold Vine, it is still very strong, and it is not easy to break free.

No matter where the child went, it would not be able to get four meters away from the huge stone pillar in the center without untying the rope made of the vine...... It's not even the edge wall of this underground cavern that you can't touch, let alone get out of here.

This is a prisoner imprisoned here, as powerless as a tethered livestock.

Xinglan's arrival had already attracted the attention of the other party, but it only symbolically tried to intimidate, and quickly gave up continuing without any effect at all. Perhaps it knows that it is impossible to scare off its opponents in this situation, and even a little experienced animal can hear the strength of its voice.

As if it had completely resigned itself to its fate, the unknown creature soon didn't even bother to look at Xinglan, but just curled up and looked at the dish-flowering discs on the water in front of him with a completely emotionless empty look.

"What the hell is going on...... Xinglan looked at the imprisoned creature with some surprise, it didn't look like an intelligent creature should be, even the roar just now was just a grieve with no logical meaning, but it did look very much like a human, "It's tied up here?" But why the hell ......?"

Getting a little closer, Xinglan could get a clearer look at the creature's appearance. It does look very human-like, but it has many other differences, such as a dense layer of orange-red hair, which can be seen to be wet and stuck to the surface of the skin due to its lack of clothing. Considering the freezing cold temperatures of the pond here, Xinglan believes that it will not be a comfortable experience for ordinary animals.

A bright color flashed, and it was a fluffy orange-red tail that swayed rhythmically behind it, not a slender tail like a monkey, but a wide tail covered with fluff like a squirrel, but this beautiful tail was also completely soaked at this time, and it also looked sickly.

Under the bright searchlight, Xinglan could see a small protruding horn on its forehead, with layers of yellow threads on its surface, and it was unknown what its purpose was...... Such small sharp corners are obviously unlikely to be of much use in an actual fight.

When it looked at Xinglan again, Xinglan finally saw its eyes clearly...... It was a pair of eyes without the whites of the eyes, and the yellow pupils completely occupied the entire range of the eyes, reflecting a bright yellow luster in the light, which looked a little vicious. However, Xing Lan could clearly see that the child in front of him no longer had the slightest strength to fight, nor did he have the will to fight.

Here, it's like a naturally formed dark water dungeon.

"Sure enough, the trembling infrasound in the air became even more intense here." Xinglan muttered to herself softly, looking at the trapped child in front of her, its orange skin was regularly distributed with some hard bumps, as if the skin was embedded with glass beads, "It seems that those strange organs are the source of this infrasound, although they have no attack power, they can constantly interfere with normal thoughts." ”

Carefully bypassing the saucer flower floating on the water, Xinglan slowly approached the child who was bound to the stone pillar...... Whether or not it was the third intelligent race, it was clearly a harmless child. As it got closer, the ripples on the water seemed to alarm this lonely existence in the darkness, it raised its eyes again, and looked at Xinglan with some blankness, as if it subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it itself was curled up in an inconspicuous inconspicuous indentation on the stone pillar, where could it retreat?

The time limit for going back has passed, but Xinglan did not choose to return the same way, and a delay of a few minutes will not be much of a problem, but the existence of the child in front of her is likely to bring her a huge discovery, which makes her reluctant to leave.

"It definitely contains a preset gene chain that is unlocked, otherwise it would not be so close to a human in appearance." Xinglan finally stood in front of this child, even if it was one meter four tall, it was enough to overlook this little guy of unknown race, she tentatively stretched out her hand to the somewhat frightened child in front of her, "Be good, don't be afraid, just touch it lightly......"

Looking at Xinglan's outstretched hand, the other party finally spoke...... It's just that instead of speaking to her, it expressed its meaning with practical actions: it opened its mouth and bit Xinglan's finger!

"Eh, what a disobedient child...... the corners of Xinglan's mouth twitched, watching the other party bite his fingers fiercely, "It's completely useless for you to do this, and I won't feel pain." ”

Obviously, this child did not have the good teeth of a carnivorous beast, let alone the deepest alloy skeleton, and even the outer layer of synthetic skin would not be easily bitten by it, and the result of biting with all its strength was that its own teeth were almost broken, and for the first time on that empty face, another expression finally appeared: the teeth hurt a little.

After relieving a little, it raised its eyes to look at Xinglan's palm again, but it didn't dare to bite it with its teeth, it just whimpered and shrunk into a ball, and there was not even a trace of sadness and pain in its eyes.

…… It's like you're completely numb.
