Chapter 286: The Edge of the Desert

The sand and dust of the desert no longer lasts here.

This is the edge of the desert, and in the interior of the East Continent, a wonderful plant with spherical leaves grows at the edge of the sand, and they are like a boundary line, drawing a trace between the desert and the land.

The fifty-meter-long arrow stone slowly flew down from the sky and landed on top of a sand dune.

'Boom! At the moment when the arrow stone landed, there was a sound in the distance, and a crystalline object fell to the ground, splashing dust in the sky.

Lynn called that thing ......'Crystal Bomb Carrier'.

As the name suggests, it was used to load crystallized bombs, and during the time that Lynn set out to find the kingdom of heaven, she encountered many similar things, which surprised Lynn a little, mainly because of their numbers.

It's really, really much...... Just like the thousands of crystalline bombs buried in the sand that Lin encountered before, these 'crystal bomb carriers' were also all over the sea of clouds in the air.

They usually hide in large clouds and attack when Lynn's forces approach.

They are simply constructed in a large crystal with a few crystal bombs in it, but some carriers have special defensive units in them, which Lynn calls 'crystal saws'.

Like a saw, cut the target's thing with a sharp edge and fly in a rotation.

Unlike the crystalline bombs in the sand that didn't resist, these things attacked wildly as soon as Lin approached, which caused a lot of damage to the arrowstone, and part of the carapace of the arrowstone was shattered. There is also quite a bit of blood loss.

So. The arrow stone landed here. Intend to do some recovery first.

Lin has hardly been to this place, so there are some new things to see here, and these novelties also help Lynn a little.

A group of strange creatures appeared in Lynn's field of vision.

These creatures are more than a meter long and resemble skeletal dragons, but they do not have tails and have round heads. The spine on his back protruded, and his entire body looked like a shriveled corpse that could crawl.

So Lin called them shriveled monsters, creatures somewhere between Mao Yu and reptiles.

These creatures can only be found on the edge of this desert, and the plants that look like borders are also grown by them......

The large expanse of plants that grow on the edge of the desert, which Lynn calls the Blood Cell Tree, is usually about two meters tall, without any green structure on its body, and red orbs grow from the branches.

It looks like blood cells, but it's actually. It's the real blood cells, and they have a strange relationship with the Shriveled Monster.

In fact, the shriveled monster is not inherently shriveled. But when they are young, they are parasitized by the seeds of the blood cell tree, which grows directly from the skin of the larvae, absorbs the blood and produces blood cells, which are actually swollen leaves, but are no longer green.

When the Shriveled Monster reaches adulthood, some of its blood is sucked clean and its body becomes like a dried corpse, but it still survives, at which point it plucks the tree from its body and plants it on the ground, feeding on its blood cells.

Adult shriveled monsters are not parasitized, but juvenile blood cells that eat mixed seeds can be parasitized, and the previous process is repeated.

The Shriveled will also capture other creatures, kill them, and bury them under the Blood Cell Tree to 'feed' the tree, so that the Blood Cell Tree can continue to grow without parasitism, and the Shriveled will have a continuous supply of blood cells to eat.

They form a symbiotic relationship in this wonderful way.

So, they now want to attack Lynn's arrows as well, and they will try it no matter how big the target is.

A large group of shriveled monsters climbed up the sand dunes, surrounding the head of Arrowstone, seemingly trying to figure out how to attack the target, dragging it back or something, and the appearance of the Arrowstone being injured made them feel like they could deal with it.

However, Arrowstone moved first, and a tentacle shot out of Arrowstone's mouth in an instant, sticking to a shriveled monster and dragging it into its mouth.

The shriveled monsters around them were startled, and they screamed as they fled.

The shriveled monster in the mouth of the arrow stone was pierced into the brain by a small tentacle, slowly connecting to its brain.

This creature has a good memory, so this is one of the reasons why the arrowstones landed here, and Lynn can use them to make some observations......

In fact, the location where the arrow stone is now is the area where the heavenly kingdom of the 'creator' is located.

The various information in the kingdom of heaven that the imakh saw in his dream, such as climate, microorganisms, temperature, etc., can only be matched in this place at the border of this desert, which can be said to be the only place......

However, Lin didn't find anything, and now there were many small units flying in the air, and their vision was only countless floating sea of clouds, each of which was only a few tens of meters in diameter.

Underground, Lynn was also searching, but there was nothing but sand and mud underneath, and there was no response from a large area of detection such as brainwaves or sounds.

There was only a smell, and the air was full of suspicious smells, like the smell of alloys.

But there is no specific place to disperse, just floating in this place, and there is no specific target to be found.

There are several possibilities, one is that the location of the Kingdom of Heaven has changed, and if it is something floating, it can be changed at will, and another possibility is that it is hidden.

However, even if they may be hidden in the present, they should not remain hidden in the past.

Therefore, the creatures that have lived here for a long time should have seen something.

However, the shriveled monster that he had caught now had only lived for a few years, and he didn't have anything in his memory that Lin wanted to see, but in his memory, Lin saw something else useful.

If you want to see the long-term situation in this area, you have to find the creature that has the longest life of them.

The arrow stone spat it out, and slowly floated up from the ground, flying above the bloodcell bushes in front of it.

The shriveled monsters below watched the arrowstone fly by, screaming as they grabbed some gravel and gravel and threw it here, and as the arrow stone approached, they fled in terror in all directions.

Among them, you can also see some obese shriveled monster cubs, and two small trees growing on their backs.

However, what Lin was looking for was not the group of creatures, but a large creature located in the interior of the woods......

Now that Lynn had seen it, it was twice the size of the other shriveled monsters, and it could be called the 'Shriveled Elder.' ’

This shriveled monster has been alive for a long time, and like some reptiles, they have no lifespan, and as long as they live, they can continue to grow.

The moment the elder saw the arrowstone, he immediately fled backwards, but the arrowstone shot out tentacles at a faster speed, and it was wrapped around its head in an instant.

Arrowstone withdrew his tentacles and pulled the elder up.

'Bang! At the same time, a voice rang out......

At this moment, the elder's body was instantly covered with countless cracks, and then, its body cracked open, and blood scattered like a fountain.

In less than a second, the Elder's body was gone, a pile of scraps of flesh on the ground.

This is...... I saw a little shiny reflection in the sky in the distance.

Arrow Stone changed the eyeball for farsightedness a little, and he could see that the reflection was actually a crystalline structure, and the attack just now was obviously done by it.

The construct remained in the air for a few seconds, then turned and flew away quickly.

Obviously, its attack was not aimed at the arrow stone, but specifically against this elder, could it be said that the 'creator' was deliberate? However, it seems to have some ...... Blunder.

Because it only shattered the body of the Elder, and the Elder's head was still in the tentacles of the arrow stone.

The moment it shattered, the arrow stone protected it, first stopping the bleeding, then quickly connecting and providing nutrients so that the creature could survive even if it had only one head left......

The Shriveled Elder had lived for more than fifty years, and he must have seen a lot of things during his time here.

In the case of the construct attack just now, it must have seen something more important.

So let's take a look at its memories.

Lynn was once again in the dream.

This sandy land does not seem to have changed since decades ago...... The view was vague, but it was rare for such a creature to remember something that had gone so long.

Lynn observed its entire dream at great speed, and Lynn saw the sight of the creature growing, hunting, eating, etc., and at the same time, seeing the scene in the air.

Almost thirty years ago, a huge object appeared in the sky.

It seemed to appear there suddenly, as the shriveled monster didn't look up at the sky very often, and the occasional glance up thirty years ago allowed Lynn to see it.

It was bigger than any cloud island Lynn had ever seen...... It can be said that it is a continent in the air.

But how big it is, I can't see it in this dream...... Presumably, this is the kingdom of heaven.

Lynn sped the dream to the nearest moment, discovering that during this period, every time the shriveled monster looked up occasionally, he could see where the kingdom of heaven was.

It wasn't until recently, hundreds of days and nights ago, that the floating thing suddenly vanished.

There was no trace of movement, and there was no sound, and because it was a recent memory, this part was relatively clear......

But Lynn at least knew that it wasn't hiding because of Lynn's attack, but for something else.

Where are they hiding?

Lynn thinks it should be in that direction......

Thinking about it, Lynn looked at the plains in the distance...... (To be continued......)
