The northwest coastline of the Phantom Continent is very barren compared to the rest of the Phantom Continent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause this is a seaside desert, the only bit of green comes from a little desert plant at the junction of the coastline and the desert. At the same time, because of the geographical location, the climate in this area is not very good in the remaining three seasons, except for the relatively mild spring climate every year.

Well, that's a bit too mild. In fact, in addition to spring, there is a possibility of natural disasters in the other three seasons in this area. There are three types of natural disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes. The timing of natural disasters is irregular, and it is possible that there are no anomalies in a year or even more than ten years, but it is also possible that in just two or three natural disasters take turns to wash this area.

Because of the special environment, this area has become a desert, and even the little green plants that meet the coastline are mostly seeds blown from other places through various means, and then experience their precarious life here.

However, such a place that can be said to be a forbidden place is one of the few spiritual lands in the entire Phantom Continent. Because here, the water attribute element energy in the ocean is richer than anywhere else in the Phantom Spirit Continent, even if another place is the ocean, but the water attribute element energy there has never been as rich as here. Not only that, but it also has the same level of concentration of earth attribute and wind attribute elemental energy. An area meets the spirit land standards of three attributes at the same time, and I have to say that this is really a strange thing on the Phantom Continent.

It's just that the natural disasters here are so impermanent that there are basically no creatures that will settle here. The only ones who can be counted as residents. Probably the races that live in the sea. They occasionally come ashore, after all, there are many aquatic reptiles and semi-aquatic mammals that need to come ashore to reproduce. Merely. The races that have lived in the sea for many years have a set of early warnings for natural disasters. And even among the creatures that live in this area, the semi-aquatic mammal race with the longest lactation period will only live on the shore with their young for nearly two months at most. Once the cubs have their first moult and a new coat to keep them warm in the water, the races, which have been nursing on shore for nearly two months, will immediately return to the sea with the cubs.

As a race that lives mostly in the sea except for breeding, the sea is undoubtedly much safer than on the shore where you don't know when an earthquake or tornado will occur. In addition to these sea races, which can barely be regarded as inhabitants, there are actually quite a few creatures in this area. It's just that those are like migratory birds, and they are passers-by who stop here for a short time......

Merely. The history of this area has been changed today, as a group of small animals have migrated from the interior of the Phantom Continent. After this group of small animals came here, they did not look for a relatively safe place to rest like other passers-by, so as to recover their strength and leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible. Instead, when they come here, they start making holes without saying a word!

The site was chosen at the junction of the coastline and the desert, where the ground is sandy rather than pure yellow sand because of the few plants that are there. But even so. The ground, which was more solid than pure yellow sand, seemed to be unhindered by the constant waving claws of the small animals.

Looking at this business ability, these small animals are obviously experts in digging holes and burrowing. And there must have been times when it was tougher and harder to dig soil.

The passers-by who stopped to rest turned their eyes to this place, after all, there was not even a little vegetation to provide cover here, and it was too easy to spot the movement here. And then. The passers-by who noticed the movement were dumbfounded. What are these burrowing creatures? Why does it look so weird?!

Don't blame these guys for having such an idea, because of these little creatures that appear in front of their eyes. All of them look like hairless mice. Pink and tender, the meat is muoy. Even birds that normally feed only on insects. Seeing such a guy has an urge to rush up and try a few bites! Not to mention those who are carnivorous in the first place, even some insects with chewing mouthparts and stinging and sucking mouthparts can't be indifferent to this defenseless little fresh meat!

It's better to act than to move, and soon the group of small animals is in trouble, and they are surrounded. The first thing to surround was not the vertebrates, but all sorts of bugs. It's not that other animals are not as fast as those insects, but because other animals are more intelligent than those insects, and when they encounter this kind of situation, no matter how they look at it, their first reaction is not to snatch food, but to doubt and be vigilant.

Migratory organisms mean that they will never live in the same area for more than a certain period of time in their lifetime. It is because of this habit of regular travel that these creatures are usually well-informed. Unlike the bugs that migrate just to find a place to lay eggs, lay eggs and then hang up, other creatures are more likely to see the kind of beings that seem harmless but are actually terrifying.

How did these little animals get here if they were really as harmless as they looked? Even if you don't think about this question, you have to think about why the other party doesn't care about digging their own holes when facing so many predators around, right? It's not dark yet! In broad daylight, if you really don't have any skills, who would dare to be exposed defenselessly like that?! Even those powerful existences, in this mixed environment, will retain some vigilance! A guy like this who is completely defenseless, as if he is putting on a posture of "hurry up and eat me", is it not normal at all?!

Because of this delay, the group of insects took the lead. And it is precisely this delay that makes them see something different.

Large swarms of bugs swarmed up, but in the end they didn't succeed. Because just as the attack was about to hit, a pale cyan wind shield suddenly appeared on the bodies of these small animals! These shields look like pale cyan bubbles, though. It doesn't feel like it's very strong. But the hearts of those onlookers suddenly froze, and the elemental energy was able to distinguish colors with the naked eye! Nima's level of ability is slightly higher! Even if the problem is not above the energy level. But to be able to produce such a visual effect means that the energy concentration is high enough! A shield of high concentration. Even if it is composed of basic wind attribute elemental energy, its defense strength is not simple.

After some observation and calculation, many of the races that had been watching before dispersed. It's been so long, and the attacks of those bugs have never stopped. But even so, that wind shield Nima showed no signs of weakening at all! Many onlookers found that the staying power of that shield was too strong, and even if they could destroy that shield in the end, the energy consumed in the end was definitely not something that could be compensated for by a small animal that was not necessarily enough to stuff their teeth.

However, most of the spectators dispersed. But not all of them were scattered. A few animals that had been calculated and found that they could break through the shield with just a few clicks remained. That wind shield is magic, and naturally there will be elemental fluctuations. By sensing the strength of the elemental fluctuations, they found that the shield's energy was replenished at the same time as it was consumed, and as long as the instantaneous attack power exceeded the speed of energy replenishment, then the shield would be broken.

Of course, they also know that there are a lot of people in the area who can solve problems with one hit. But in the eyes of the existence of that kind of strength, this group of small animals is no different from ants. A swarm of ants and a swarm of pink mole ants are in fact indistinguishable. Because you don't really want to eat those ants. Unless they have some special effect after eating them, who cares?!

So, a few predators who were full of confidence stayed. Because it was confirmed that there were no competitors, and there was a large group of bugs in front of them helping to keep the shield's income and expenditure basically even. So. These predators have the idea of having a little fun.

But it's clear that they've forgotten one thing, and that is that the critters are actually burrowing. In general, the speed at which they move on the ground is fundamentally different from the speed at which they move underground......

And then. The unexpected happened. The predators were just about to think about how to play with their prey, when they noticed that the swarm was abnormal. Countless insects seemed to be blown up by a violent whirlwind. It makes the swarm that has already formed a regular activity become messy. Then the real whirlwind appeared, and the swarm that had been surrounding it was torn apart. Some hapless bugs died, and even those who didn't die were disrupted and turned into headless flies flying around.

By the time a few predators felt that something was wrong and rushed over, all the small animals on the ground had already burrowed into the ground, and only the rustling sound coming from the hole indicated that the small animals were still digging industriously underground.

What had been easy turned into empty joy, and several predators were unwilling to destroy the holes in the ground. But they themselves understand that it doesn't matter to those animals that can dig holes, and if you collapse the hole, they can easily dig another place.

The small animals that migrate to this area are naturally the hedgehog family.

The migration from the interior of the mainland to the northwest coast took several months and was hit several times along the way. No way, a group of races with only some combat power, when passing through the territory of other races, they will always be received in various ways, and you are not even qualified to refuse. Just two encounters have turned the migrating Hedgehog into a team that really doesn't have the ability to protect itself. If it weren't for Ye Ziyun finding their traces in time, they wouldn't have come here at all. The most likely outcome is that the Hedgehog race was already extinct in the world a few months ago.

And the arrival of Ye Ziyun made everything turn around. Although Ye Ziyun's body size is enough to make the wind hedgehog clan feel enough pressure, it is precisely because of the difference in strength that Ye Ziyun's gift-giving action has become very smooth.

Because of the difference in strength, the other party did not dare to take the initiative to provoke him. Because of the difference in strength, the other party could not refuse the gift he gave. Because of the difference in strength, when he asked every individual of the Hedgehog clan to drop essence blood on the magic weapon, the other party could only do so.

Ye Ziyun left after giving the gift, waving his tail without leaving a name. This kind of noble sentiment is even more than Santa Claus.

Then, the Hedgehogs, who had become defenseless, gained the ability to defend. The appearance of the wind shield makes them no longer worry about the safety of their lives. Although in the beginning, some young and vigorous individuals committed their own deaths, and after thinking that their lives were worry-free, they actually ran to provoke some powerful beings who were more powerful than they were in their heyday.

It's just that when a giant python swallowed several members of the wind hedgehog clan with a wind shield, and there were no signs of indigestion, the wind hedgehog clan who fell into a state of confidence sobered up. Then they no longer dared to swagger around, and their actions became cautious again. Only after confirming that there are no overly powerful beings on the line will they rush to the road, and even in that case, at least a few of them will remain in the group to keep an eye on their surroundings.

In the continuous rush of the hedgehog clan, some situations have also begun to change. The most obvious change is that the overall strength of the Hedgehog clan has increased rapidly. It's not that it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, but the magic weapon sent out by Ye Ziyun, the wind attribute elemental energy it gathered, made the cultivation speed of the wind hedgehog clan several levels faster.

The reason why that magic weapon is a chicken rib is entirely because its efficiency in gathering immortal qi is unsightly. But the immortal qi is a high-level energy, and it is not so easy to influence in the first place. Once this ability is placed on a lower level of energy, then the effect is different. It's just that the cultivation of the immortal clan can only rely on the qi of the immortals, and no matter how good the effect of gathering low-level energy is, it is useless for the immortal clan. After all... It's not easy to get low-level energy in the immortal territory!

With the improvement of strength, some skills of the Hedgehog clan, although they have always existed and have been inherited, but cannot be used because of their lack of strength, can be used again.

It is precisely because of this change that the Wind Hedgehog Clan finally conquered that long journey and came to this strange region located on the northwest coast of the Phantom Continent...... (To be continued.) )
