Chapter 1098: The Wasteland (2)
From the evening until nightfall, except for a few strange-looking plants, Locke did not encounter a single living thing.
It should have been a thriving city a few decades ago, Locke judged by a rough look at the contours of its surroundings.
Not far away, an irregular 'cuboid' was covered with gray moss that he had seen on the ground before, and the years had eroded its original appearance, and Locke, who had mental power detection, was no stranger to this 'cuboid', it was one of the technological products of this plane, the car.
I remember that when Locke first descended on this miniature plane, he was amazed at the alchemical products created by this plane.
It's just that now even the iron shell on the outside is corroded and blurred, and this 'cuboid' covered with gray moss is difficult for Locke to associate with the car in his memory.
"No, there should be living beings. Locke's gaze rested on a large footprint in front of him on his left.
Given the extremely low temperatures of the world today, it is not too much to call the ground 'frozen ground', and it is possible to step on a huge crater close to 30 centimeters deep in the hard frozen soil, and the size of the individual creature must be 10 meters, at least, and it has a lot of strength.
Weighing and comparing a creature of that size and strength in his heart, Locke's face froze, at least a first-order demonic beast could do it.
Of course, Locke, who was a mere level of demonic beasts, didn't pay attention to it, but Locke, who was familiar with the background of this position, knew that before that, the twelve ancient relics that represented the strongest individuals on the earth were only at the pinnacle.
According to calculations, from his departure to the present, the time progress of the Earth's miniature plane should be more than seventy years in the past.
As for the number of years and months, it is not something that a layman knight like him can calculate, it takes a magician like Ashar and Angelina to do it.
In more than seventy years, there have been ordinary beasts that have evolved to first-order demonic beasts, and such a promotion speed has exceeded the laws of most passive evolution species.
Thinking of the radiation clouds overhead and the ubiquitous radiation in the air, Locke had a rough guess in his mind.
The power of radiation is also one of the factors that promote the passive evolution of living things.
However, this kind of seedling-fueling nature is random and uncontrollable, and is not respected by the knights of the wizarding world.
As night falls, the temperature in the air plummets once again.
The slight decrease in temperature is an unbearable environment for creatures below the first level, but it does not have much impact on individuals above the first level like Locke, who can survive in the vacuum of the astral plane.
"Master, do you want to find a place to rest first?" suggested Satsuki, who was in her arms.
In terms of the physical fitness of their infant demon beasts, it is no problem not to eat or drink for a few months, let alone rest. The reason for this suggestion is mainly due to the fact that intelligent beings are always accustomed to living during the day and resting at night.
"No, let's get on our way, I'd love to know if there are any remnants of the humans of this plane. Locke said.
According to the coordinates of the space-time window reaction, there is no doubt that this should be the north-central part of China, but the apocalyptic changes of seventy years make it impossible for Locke to judge which specific province and region of China he is in at the moment.
"Human ......," Satsuki's fox tail swung and swung, and then pointed in one direction and said to Locke, "Master, we can look in this direction." ”
Satsuki's talent is rare prophecy and divination, just simply looking for the remnants of this plane, she doesn't even need the help of the magic weapon Silver Bell, she can guess with her intuition.
This magical beast with a gift of prophecy has long been a favorite of astrologers in the wizarding world, and often orthodox astrologers choose this type of creature as their soul mate.
Angelina and other women have not signed a soul partner, because the soul partner is an old antique thousands of years ago, and only those magicians of the older generation will sign a soul partner with multiple restrictions in order to pursue the mystery of the soul and some special intentions.
Joss was the only magician Locke knew who had a soulmate, and the noisy raven Bru still had a deep impression in his heart.
Of course, Locke would not treat Satsuki as a high-value monster creature and sell it to the magicians of his own plane. He is not short of money, at least for the time being.
Satsuki and Xiaoxue's xenomorphic talents are very rare and very useful, and they can provide a lot of convenience for Locke, just like now.
The direction Satsuki was pointing in should be east, but unfortunately there was a thick radiation cloud overhead, obscuring the starry sky at night, so that Locke couldn't correctly judge the direction.
Locke could pass through the radiation cloud and fly above the radiation cloud to hurry, then he didn't think it was necessary, because even if he was a third-level heavenly knight, he was not interested in experiencing the heavy nuclear energy that was ubiquitous in the radiation cloud up close.
"From what I know about this plane's technological weapon, I'm afraid it would take 300 to 400 hydrogen bombs to detonate to create such a heavy radiation environment. Glancing at the radiant cloud overhead, Locke figured to himself.
Converted, it is equivalent to a small forbidden spell cast by more than 300 demigod-level powerhouses in this plane, and it is no wonder that this side of the miniature plane will be beaten to the evolutionary regression, and the reversal from the miniature plane to the half-plane will be reversed.
If the earth really retreats to the half-plane, then all the life forms below the first level on this planet will die, and although the organisms above the first level have the right to live, they will not be able to escape the end of extinction without sufficient food and other essential elements for life.
Perhaps, in a few years, when the Earth is promoted from a half-plane to a miniature plane, a new batch of species and intelligent beings will emerge at that time.
The origin and evolution of life is no secret among magicians.
As the wizarding world gradually moves towards a super-large world, the number of holy towers and knights' halls in the world is also increasing day by day, and there are not a few fourth-level magicians like Jos, who were born before the promotion of the plane and successfully established the holy tower.
It is precisely in the context of this era of great development and great leaps that knights like Lian Locke, under the dual effects of the environment and their own will, have learned a lot of knowledge that would not have intersected with him.
Satsuki's instincts were still very accurate, and after flying slowly for five minutes at an altitude of two hundred meters above the ground, he finally sensed the first living creatures.
The phantom of the long sword containing fighting spirit shot towards a piece of hard frozen soil below, and after the explosion, the frozen soil layer broke off, revealing more than a hundred palm-sized insects inside.
