Chapter 138: Heaven and Earth Are White......

The mist veil comes and goes with the wind, and everything in heaven and earth is covered in silver.

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

The sky was white, neither cloudless nor cloudy, but somewhere in between. A thin breeze blew intermittently in the cool, unbiting climate, and a thin white cloud completely obscured the blue sky, turning the sun's fierce enthusiasm into a soft, warm ray. Even though you can't see anything other than white clouds in the sky, it's really a pleasant weather.

The sea is also white, and the fantastic light show at night has quietly come to an end, and the faint white mist hovers over the sea in the early morning. There are no verdant leaves that allow it to condense into dewdrops, only the ripples of the sea and the fog in the air, creating a sea of fog that can disorient ships...... However, this fog that obscures the bird's vision has become a boon for the fish in the ocean, and all kinds of small fish can be seen jumping out of the water with joy.

The water and the sky are the same color, the sea and the sky are all white, and even from the coastline that is constantly beaten by the waves, the whole land is also white!

Yes, just like being in the white world of the polar regions that can blind people, on the coastline of the Nanyuan Continent, the entire land is almost completely covered by a piece of white, and this white land is not even endless. The scene in front of me was just like the vast snowfield of the Northern Yuan Continent at the beginning, only scattered heterochromatic plants dotted the period, and other than that, the world was all one color.

However, the Southern Yuan Continent is not the Northern Yuan Continent after all, and its main body only begins to extend from the subtropics, and even a part of the end has been across the equator to cover the southern hemisphere of Lanxing. From space, the continent is clearly visible in emerald green colors, and the forest coverage is second only to the macro continent among the continents of Lanxing.

The Southern Yuan Continent is a continent with a warm climate. Theoretically, it is impossible to have a large area of snow of this magnitude in the temperature environment here, so this large expanse of white land ...... It's certainly not because it's covered in snow.

……

As if the rapid movement of some huge object brought the wind in the air, the fog on the sea surface was separated by the swirling air currents to the sides, and a black shadow appeared behind the fog, and soon, with a whistling sound, a gray tentacle tens of meters long broke straight out of the cloud and mist, falling from the sky and slapping on the gray beach.

That's right, in the vast expanse of snow-white earth, only a small area that has been beaten by the sea is not completely white. The sea constantly laps at those areas, sweeping away the white grains, leaving behind cloudy grains of sand, which over time become a gray zone between white and black.

The huge tentacles lay flat on the soft sand, and it didn't have time to deform...... Before it could even completely calm down, a small blue-gold figure quickly ran out of the mist along the tentacles as if it was running for its life, and with a slight leap at the end of the tentacles, it jumped over the gray area covered by the sea and stepped onto the solid snow-white earth.

"Huhu ......" The next moment, the little beast with blue and gold hair suddenly softened, and its beautiful hair clinged to the ground covered by white particles, looking at the rippling sea with an expression of the rest of its life, "Finally...... Finally out of that terrible sea. ”

Something invisible was floating here, and the girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded in the empty air: "Xiao Xijie, is it necessary for you to be so nervous?" Even if you do fall into the water, as long as you don't soak it for a long time, it won't be a big deal......"

"No...... No, it's a matter of principle...... "Shioyu lay on the white ground weakly, and even the voice of protest sounded very weak, "Even my sister can't change ......"

Shadowless and invisible signals hovered around the tidal junction, letting out a silver bell-like laugh, Xinglan turned the photon capture net, adjusted her perspective, and watched as the huge tentacle belonging to the bone-crushed squid on the shoreline moved again, slowly shrinking along the sand under the pull of the thick muscles, and finally completely returned to the misty sea, leaving only a long and clearly visible drag mark on the gray sand that continued to fade under the washing of the sea.

As for the island that was used for the night...... Although it is a mysterious location where an important plot will happen no matter how you look at it, in fact, nothing interesting happens. After all, that small island is not long in life, and it is still in the active period of geological movement, not only is the area only a few square kilometers large, you can easily circle it, but even the surface is completely covered by the basalt formed by the cooling of magma, and there is only a black wasteland. If there was any life on the island, it would be some low-level plants such as moss or lichens at most, so Xinglan just stayed silently on the barren black ground with Xiaoxijie in her arms for the night, and continued to set off as soon as it was dawn.

……

In the mist-shrouded ocean, the bone-shattering squid's head floated above the water, while the bulbous eyes and sensing points on the tentacles were submerged beneath the water. The girl with long blue hair sat on the edge of its head, her legs still bouncing in the air. She turned her head and smiled softly at a beautiful colorful bird on her shoulder, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave for the nuclear continent." ”

The fairy bird collided with its beak loudly: "Well, it's time to go, the journey probably won't be smooth, that continent is in the middle of the southern hemisphere, we need to swim through a long sea route, but anyway, leaving that little guy here, even if it's a big problem, there is nothing to be afraid of for you and me." ”

Before the words fell, the huge bone-shattering squid at Xinglan's feet had already begun to move. It waved its huge tentacles, slowly adjusting its direction in place like a roulette wheel, and when it finally got its sights in the right direction...... The behemoth's body was violently deformed in just a few seconds, and a large amount of seawater was sucked into the body, and then violently squirted out of the vent by a huge force from the muscles!

Rumble!

It was as if a bomb had exploded in the sea, and there was a muffled sound, and then the sound of the wind in her ears and the violently shaking head under her feet made Xinglan realize how fast this behemoth could burst out with all its might without caring about the stability of the Xijie ride!

This is certainly not the fastest speed of the bone crushing squid, as its head is still floating on the surface of the water and it is unable to adjust its body to a full streamline, but it is already quite fast...... Of course, it can't be compared to the unknown creature that broke through the sea in front of Xinglan at a supersonic speed, but it is enough to be proud of most ordinary sea creatures.

The rapid movement of the behemoth brought the wind and separated the fog in front of it to the sides, and the splashes of the bone-crushed squid as they cut through the water scattered in the air, forming miniature rainbows that were fleeting. Xinglan held herself firmly, feeling the oncoming wind blowing in her face, and gently closed her eyes.

Even if the bone-crushing squid were to continue to advance at this speed, it would take several days to reach the nuclear continent on this long journey...... Wait, what's wrong!

Xinglan was startled, opened her eyes and looked at the fairy bird next to her: "No, this journey will take several days to complete, but we can't find an island for us to spend the night temporarily every night, so ......"

"Don't worry about that......" The fairy bird slammed its beak hard again, making a short, powerful crunch, "I've prepared other creatures to use as vehicles, and we will probably meet by tonight." ”

"That's right......" Xinglan smiled softly, closing her red eyes in the salty sea breeze, "Since there's nothing to do here, then the voyage will be completely left to you, and I'll take care of the unreassuring little guy first." ”

"Yes."

……

On the white ground, Xijie lay lazily on his stomach, and after basking in the sun for a while, he finally felt better, and then began to boredly turn the ground covered with white particles under him.

"Yo, has our little 'hydrophobia' finally recovered?" When Xinglan turned her subject's attention back to the signal on this side, she immediately saw a scene that made her laugh, "You really think this is a beach?" ”

At this time, Shiokyu had managed to dig a large hole in the soft white ground with his claws...... Most of it was completely submerged, but it wasn't a beach after all, so it quickly ran into the hard rocks below.

Mystery Xin's claws may be sharp enough to hunt, but they definitely don't grow out to dig holes, so it is obviously impossible for Xijie to use his claws to break the hard rock below...... If you want to crush, you must claw it first.

"Eh, are you back, sister?" Hearing Xinglan's voice, Xijie quickly leaned out of the cave, and after habitually looking around, she remembered that she couldn't see Xinglan's location at all now...... Even Xing Lan was almost discovered when she first saw Mystery Xin, it was entirely because the faint electromagnetic change caused by the signal was accidentally received by Mystery Xin with the sensory array on her forehead, "It's so interesting to talk about here, it looks like the snow field in the Northern Yuan Continent." But it's not snow at all, it doesn't melt by body heat, and it doesn't feel cold. ”

As he spoke, Xijie carefully picked up some white crystals on the ground with his front paws, watching them slide from the claws to the ground: "I don't know what these are, why don't you try them?" ”

"You idiot, you can't taste everything and see what it is!" Xinglan carefully observed the white particles, and after scanning them directly into the atomic structure with signal prons, she smiled softly, "But these things in front of you can really be tasted......

"These white ones are not snow, but salt. It's a huge open-pit salt mine! What a saline land......"
