Knowing that he couldn't persuade Xu Ran and his party to give up the idea of exploring the land of thunder, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch simply stopped persuading.

After sending its most sincere wishes, it watched in silence as one person and three pets set off.

The commander-level themselves will fall into that terrible dream, and the stronger general-level will not necessarily be the case.

They will surely return safely.

It wasn't until Xu Ran and the three little ones disappeared from its field of vision that the Earth Raccoon Patriarch slowly turned around and looked at his clansmen.

"Lu~"

It's late at night, and it's time for us to sleep.

The cocoons in the herd nodded obediently, and then each went back to sleep in their burrows.

Soon, the land that belonged to the ground raccoon was empty again.

On the other side, among the Farewell Land raccoon group, Xu Ran and the three little ones also quickly arrived at the location where Cancan discovered that the thunder was hidden deep underground.

They hadn't gone deep into the ground, they were still above ground.

According to Cancan's introduction, the underground location where the thunder roar was located was at their feet, more than five thousand meters above the ground.

And once again, Cancan unexpectedly sensed a powerful aura near the thunder again.

Combined with the experience of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch when he was exploring, there is no doubt that there are guardians in that thundering land.

Therefore, one person and three pets have no intention of diving immediately.

They need a more elaborate plan.

"According to the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, the nightmare it fell into should be the ability of the powerful guardian." Xu Ran analyzed, "And the other party shouldn't have much malice, otherwise it would be impossible for the raccoon patriarch to take a few steps back and get rid of it by himself." ”

"Sigh~" (If that's the case, leave it to me!) ）

Xingchen nodded slightly, and above the single horn on the top of his forehead, the star flickered slightly.

Nightmares and illusions, which should be similar powers, all belong to the category of superpowers.

Moreover, after the Immortal Star Attraction was promoted to a three-star skill to dispel the star ring, it also increased the ability to dispel negative effects, and the range of dissolution was even greater.

So, if that Guardian's abilities are just a nightmare, it may be able to use its power to render it useless!

"Indeed, with your Exorcism Star Ring, we will have a much greater chance of success this time." Xu Ran smiled.

The reason why he insisted on coming here to explore after learning about the experience of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch was that he thought that the ability of the stars had a certain restraining effect on him.

"That guardian, can you feel the specific strength?" Xu Ran turned his head to look at Cancan and asked.

"Cha~" (may not be able to do it...) ）

Cancan shook his head slightly, and his face was a little more difficult.

It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.

The power of the earth's leyline sounding and detecting is easily perceived by living beings.

After all, it relies on vibrations.

Before detecting the thunder and the guardians, Cancan was at the very edge of the detection distance, relying on a little clue to investigate, only in this way it was not easy to be discovered.

With the power of the sound of the leylines to probe the specific strength of the guardian below, Cancan can do it, but once it is detected, the guardian will also be aware of the power of probing, and in this way, it will be a startling snake.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded, and then touched Cancan's head, "Very good, Cancan has also become mature, not so reckless." ”

"Cha~"

Cancan lowered his head a little embarrassed.

The last time it went out to explore, it hadn't thought so much, and if it hadn't been alerted by the more thoughtful stars, it might have come closer to investigate.

So this praise makes it feel deserved.

"In that case, we have to be careful." A thoughtful look appeared on Xu Ran's face, and he speculated based on the experience of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, "The guardian's protection should have a certain range. ”

"If you enter that range, you will be attacked by it and fall into a nightmare."

Speaking of this, Xu Ran's face was a little more helpless, "Originally, the best way should be to keep everyone at some distance from each other, the front one falls into a nightmare, and the back one can pull it out of the range." ”

"But... We were able to dive underground, thanks to the splendid pond of Wandering Soil. Xu Ran glanced at Cancan, "So we can only act together underground." ”

"Cha~" (and that's all.) ）

Cancan spread his paws helplessly.

The ability to dive into the ground is given to the creatures, and they must come into contact with each other, and once separated, the power conferred is no longer there.

And once you don't have the ability to dive underground, the non-earth-based one person and two pets are afraid that they can't move, which is too dangerous.

I just hope that when I get to a higher star or proficiency, this problem can be solved.

"Let's go together, move a little slower." Xu Ran took a deep breath, "A little closer to the land of thunder, the star's repelling star ring is fully opened. ”

"If there is any disturbance, stop immediately, observe the situation, and then consider what kind of countermeasures to use."

"And." Xu Ran glanced at Ziyun, "Before Ziyun dives, leave an afterimage on the ground. ”

"That way, you can always use the treadmill to leave a trail back, just in case."

"Meow~" (There is no such case!) ）

Ziyun shook his head and spoke unhappily.

Even if it's in danger, it won't do it!

After all, it was the only one who returned, which was equivalent to leaving Xu Ran and the other two small ones behind.

No matter what kind of opponent it faces, it won't do it!

"I'm just worried about the unexpected." Looking at Ziyun's expression of resistance, Xu Ran smiled dumbly, and his heart warmed slightly, "Since that's the case, then don't stay." ”

"Let's be careful, it's not a big problem."

"Meow~" (I'll take the lead!) ）

Ziyun's eyes were full of battle intent, and he spoke first.

Although everyone set off together, because Cancan's body is large enough, there must be a sequence when he actually enters the other party's protection range.

That thundering land is most likely related to the thunder system, and it is also the strongest output in the team, so it should be the best at this time.

Later, it plans to stand on Chancan's head.

That way, you'll be the first to get into the range!

Nightmare?

There was no fear in Ziyun's eyes.

It's a nightmare, but you can't defeat it!

"Sigh~" (I'm responsible for assisting everyone!) ）

The stars hissed.

Although Cancan's body was massive, its Repellent Star Ring was enough to cover it, and at the same time, it covered Ziyun and Xu Ran who stood on Cancan's body.

As a supporting corner for the team, it will do its best!

Assist Pull!

"Cha!" (Then let's go!) ）

Chancan shouted excitedly.

Curious about everything by nature, it feels like its explorer's soul has begun to burn!

With one step, the bright and pocket-sized figure rose against the storm, quickly recovering to a scale of more than three hundred meters, and the huge body was like a small mountain, which was filled with a strong sense of oppression even in the dark night.

Its majestic head, like a real dragon, seemed to hang from the clouds until it reached the ground.

"Meow~" (Rush Duck~)

Ziyun shouted excitedly, and in a flash, his figure had jumped on Cancan's head, hugging the single horn on its forehead, and his different-colored eyes were burning and looking into the invisible underground.

"Ziyun, be careful." Xu Ran admonished, and then followed the stars and climbed to the center of the bright and thick scale armor.

In this position, the Xingchen's exorcism ring can better cover Cancan's body, and Xu Ran wants to stand with Xingchen because the two will be linked together by fate.

With a starlight born out of nothingness, Xu Ran and Xingchen's qi quickly fused from the two into one, and at the same time, under the special blessing of the destined star, it climbed up step by step, like the darkness in the night, deep and eye-catching.

In the next moment, the lacquered and complex lines appeared around Ziyun and Cancan, circling around them, and the indestructible resistance like a rock descended in an instant, and at the same time, the momentum of Cancan and Ziyun quickly climbed at this moment!

Three-star skill, Full Moon Level: Twilight Sigil!

"Cha~" (Okay!) ）

Feeling his own growing strength, Cancan's eyes were full of excitement.

Because of the special situation, it is not convenient for it to use the earth vein sound and mustard Sumeru to bless itself at this moment, otherwise too much movement will instantly alarm the guardians below.

In this way, the only blessing power that can be relied on is the twilight emblem of the stars.

Fortunately, the protagonist of this shot is not it, but the single horn holding the top of its head at the moment, and the purple clouds with sharp thunder in his eyes of different colors!

With the blessing of the Twilight Emblem, Ziyun's momentum had climbed to its peak, its limbs and body lightning almost at the same time, and the fierce electric light continued to pierce the air, emitting a sharp explosion.

There is also a faint hint of pitch-black hue, emerging in the depths of its eyes.

It is the power of divine punishment that is ready to be cast at any time.

Although the consequences of the last divine punishment are still fresh in Ziyun's memory until this moment, if it really comes to the last resort, it should be used!

After all, this is its strongest skill at the moment.

It is also because of the accumulation of this trace of power, there is a faint trace of extreme danger around Ziyun's body at this moment, like a sharp long knife, which makes people dare not look directly!

"Let's go!"

Everything is ready, Xu Ran let out a low snort.

"Sigh~"

With the hiss of the stars, bright starlight bloomed from the tip of its single horn, and scattered bits of starlight in all directions, eventually covering Cancan's entire body, enveloping all the people and three pets.

A moment of silence and tranquility followed.

Although this starlight does not seem to have any effect at the moment, its very existence is a powerful blessing and a reassuring pill!

Three-star skill, full moon level, exorcism of the star ring!

The next moment, Cancan's huge body seemed to sink into a quagmire, slowly and steadily began to dive, and the hard earth and rocks around it seemed to be suddenly softened, setting off a slight ripple around its body.

In a short time, Cancan's body had completely disappeared into the ground.

The ground was restored to its original scene, as if nothing had happened.

And underground, the exploration of one person and three pets officially began.

Under Cancan's precise control, they always dive at a slow pace.

After a long while, the bright voice echoed in the minds of Xu Ran and the other two little ones.

"Cha~" (has sunk for two kilometers.) ）

"Go on." Xu Ran responded with a contract induction, and his expression gradually became serious.

The distance of five kilometers is almost halfway at this moment.

As they got closer to the Land of Thunder, they got closer and closer to the Guardian's range.

"Meow~" (Steady!) ）

The black light in Ziyun's eyes was a little deeper.

Cancan is in a state of diving at the moment, and his head is at the lowest place.

And Ziyun, who hugged the bright one-horned, naturally became the one closest to the bottom.

It wants to make sure that it is the first to enter the opponent's defense range!

Cancan didn't respond, but the speed of the dive was still steady.

Two kilometers ... Three kilometers ... Four kilometers!

They are getting closer and closer to the bottom, and the thunder that originally only vaguely existed in Cancan's perception is not only Cancan at this moment, but also one person and three pets are faintly heard!

"Boom~Boom~"

The low roar of thunder, like the roar of the god of thunder, echoed in the depths of the earth for a long time, accompanied by a slight but continuous tremor from the earth!

It's as if the thunderbolt that originally belonged to the heavens was imprisoned in the depths of the earth and completely enraged!

There really is thunder!

In the eyes of one person and three pets, there was excitement at the same time.

Especially the purple cloud that is the thunder system.

At the same time as it heard the thunder, it instinctively felt that it was coming from deeper underground, as if calling for its power.

This is the mutual attraction between the lightning systems!

At this moment, it can be sure that the power below is definitely the power of the thunder system, and the energy intensity is not low!

At least, it's not lower than the king-level resources!

However, in the next moment, the expressions of one person and three pets quickly changed.

Almost at the same time, they felt a wave of invisible power surging in their direction, and that power seemed quite strong, far exceeding the upper limit of the rank of general.

Is that... The power of the royal hierarchy!

The force slammed into the repelling ring that the stars had opened early, and the surrounding starlight seemed to sink into an invisible grinding plate, and quickly began to dim.

"Sigh~"

Xingchen was furious, and the starlight at the tip of the unicorn was extremely bright, striking in the depths of the pitch-black earth, and it used all its strength and Xu Ran to try to keep the other party's power out.

The first contact between the two sides was only in an instant.

It seemed to sense that the guy who was approaching this time was not so easy to deal with, and the invisible force froze slightly, and then directly retracted it.

This...

One person and three pets were slightly stunned.

Before they could react, an even more majestic force swept towards them like a huge wave!

That power...

One person, three pets, all change color.

If the power just now is the power of the royal class, then the power at this moment has some scope beyond the royal class.

It may not have reached the level of the Overlord Rank, but it is similar to the Nightmare Beast King, and it has exceeded the limit of the King Rank!

And it was completely different from the power just now, this power seemed to have its own special features, so that the star ring that Xingchen tried his best to maintain did not react to it at all!

"Meow~" (Death!) ）

Ziyun reacted immediately, and the pitch-black color in his eyes instantly spread, and he was about to completely turn the pair of heterochromatic eyes into black.

An aura of extreme danger also faintly emerged from his body at this moment.

However, the next moment, its body froze suddenly, and the pitch-black light also faded in an instant, and the look in its eyes began to fade a little.

A hint of struggle appeared in the depths of Ziyun's eyes, but in the face of the opponent at this moment, its resistance seemed quite weak.

It was only an instant, and its consciousness, which was the first to enter the range, was pulled into a nightmare.

It was followed by Cancan.

In the back, there are Xu Ran and Xingchen.

The huge body of Canchan was like an ark running underground, and at this moment, the ark seemed to have encountered a reef, and its forward momentum quickly stopped.

Only the slightly surging earth-based power instinctively surrounds one person and three pets, maintaining their ability to dive underground.

Deep in the earth, it fell silent.

All that remained was the continuous, never-ending thunder that loomed and never stopped.

——

"Boom !!"

A bolt of lightning pierced the earth like a spear, slicing a bright crease through the void before slashing into the earth.

"Meow !!"

With a terrible sound, a kitten with a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes, covered in some dirt, curled up in horror on the corner of the street.

Its eyes widened, looking at the blackened figure in the middle of the road.

That's when they play together, their closest companions, and when they face other stray cats, they always fight side by side, digging through to find food to eat, and they will also bring it back to share with each other.

And now, the other party has lost his life and has become a form that it does not recognize at all.

It didn't understand why it had just walked the street it had walked so many times before its companions.

The white cat with different pupils retreated little by little, trying to curl up its already cornered self tighter.

Looking at the occasional arc of electricity on the ground near the charred corpse of its companion, its ears with long tufts of hair had already folded and clung to the back of its head, and its slightly open mouth kept breathing.

A blinding flash of lightning swept through its vision.

The next moment, the exact same explosion sounded again.

"Boom !!"

The terrifying thunder made the breathing of the white cat become more and more rapid, its chest and abdomen twitched hard, and its body curled up a little tighter.

But the eyes that had shrunk into needle tips were staring at the electric traces above the sky and slowly fading at the moment.

It's it!

The white cat with different pupils understood.

It was the thunder and lightning that blew up in the sky that killed his companions!

At this moment, great fear haunted its heart.

This is something it cannot comprehend, a force that heaven and earth cannot resist.

But it knows that such a power can easily make its companions lose their lives, and naturally it can easily lose their lives.

It tucked its long tail a few minutes away and hid it in its arms, and couldn't help but let out a slight whin.

Electricity and thunder echoed again and again.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "boom" rain sounded, and the pouring rain fell violently.

It was a sudden thunderstorm.

Letting the cold rain flood the corners of its hiding place and wet its body, the white cat curled up nervously, not daring to move, and its body trembled violently every time the thunder sounded.

Once... Twice...

I don't know how long it took, but the rain gradually subsided and the dark clouds dispersed.

The sun shone softly, shining on the thunderstorm-ravaged city, and at the same time soothing the frightened hearts of every living being.

The white cat's body had become a little stiff, and it twitched slightly.

The long fur was completely wet, and it looked a little thin against its body.

The long-term curling movement made its body stiffen.

It took a while for the white cat to come to its senses, and it came out of the corner where it could only feel safe in the thunderstorm, shook the water on its body, and then sneezed several times in succession.

It walked silently over to the corpse of its companion, still lying quietly in the middle of the road, and watched its charred body take a hideous pose, the fear in its eyes rising again, and it took a long time for it to let out a low wail.

"Meow~"

The next moment, its body shook violently.

In a daze, I was a little more sober.

Wrong!

This is a memory of my past!

It's a purple cloud!

It's in a nightmare at the moment!

Clearly recalling himself and clarifying the situation at this moment, the eyes of the white cat with different pupils were full of battle intent.

It has long since accepted the tragic memories of the past, and has overcome its own fears.

It is no longer afraid of thunder and lightning, and at this moment, it is the harness of thunder and lightning!

The surrounding scene has not changed, but Ziyun's figure has begun to change quietly.

It is no longer the stray cat that looked extremely miserable after being wet in the rainstorm, it has returned to its original body and strength.

Nightmare, but that's it!

Ziyun's eyes were a little more proud.

Memory, not enough to knock it down!

However, the next moment, its expression froze slightly.

Because the surrounding scene, after its body returned to its original state, began to change drastically.

Xu Ran, Xingchen and Cancan appeared in front of its eyes.

And in front of them, a terrifying creature appeared that could not see the form, but the momentum was boundless, giving it a sense of irresistibility.

Before Ziyun could react, Xu Ran and the other two little ones were swallowed up by the boundless thunder and lightning, leaving only the jaw-dropping Ziyun.

“… Meow?! ”

——

"Sigh~"

A voice of encouragement in the majesty appeared behind a black foal.

This is the first young horse race at the equine breeding base, and the results of the race will determine the potential of these foals, which have not been around for a long time, and thus affect the future tilt and allocation of resources.

Next to the black foal stood dozens of foals close to its size, and behind them were a group of adult equine pets.

That's the parents of the foals.

Glancing at the other foals, the black foals held their heads high, their expressions full of confidence.

His father is the fastest champion horse in the entire horse breeding base!

As a descendant of a champion horse, it will definitely be the fastest horse in the entire horse breeding base!

At this moment, the confident foal completely ignored that his father's words of encouragement were not to let himself win the championship, but to keep himself running the whole race.

It also completely ignored the slightly pitying look in the eyes of the other adult horses and beasts around it except for its own father.

In its eyes, there is only the referee's order flag.

In its heart, there is only the end!

"Beep-"

With a shrill whistle piercing the sky, the referee's flag fell, and the black foal raised its hooves and ran vigorously!

Inheriting the excellent genes of his parents, he was born much stronger than other ponies, and this advantage made him rush to the front as soon as he ran together!

The afterglow swept away, not seeing any of the ponies on either side surpass them, and the smug look in the black foal's eyes became even stronger.

It had begun to fantasize about the praise that his father had given him at the end of the race.

With a great talent, the Black Pony seems to have been born with a natural knowledge of how to use its maximum strength, squeezing every inch of muscle and making it work for maximum speed.

It ran wildly, with only the nearer and nearer end in its eyes.

After a while, the black foal felt a wave of exhaustion hit her.

This exhaustion was initially inconspicuous, but as it continued to run, it quickly became an important factor in its speed.

The Black Pony doesn't care, though.

As a descendant of a champion horse, it deserves the most stamina.

I'm tired myself, and the other ponies must have been...

As the black foal casually glanced at the other companions, the smugness in his eyes froze.

The other ponies had already caught up with them at some point.

Moreover, they don't seem to be tired at all, and they are still at their fastest speed at the moment.

Why?!

For the first time, the black pony felt doubt and confusion about himself.

It tried to pick up speed again, and every muscle around it seemed to resist the act of draining its potential.

The pain was so severe that it couldn't help but slow down.

It was overtaken by one young pony after another.

The pain and exhaustion intensified, making it impossible for him to keep up with the other ponies.

The psychological disparity and physical pain caused the black foal to run to the finish line in silence, the light in his eyes slowly dissipating.

As he limped to the finish line, the other ponies were already beside their parents cheering for their good results.

Among the horses, it saw the tallest horse, which was all red.

That's its father, Chasing the Wind.

For a moment, the black foal felt its hooves stiff and heavy.

It... Did you disappoint your father?

Chasing Wind walked up to it step by step, let out a long hissing sound, and told it something in a comforting and encouraging tone.

There was a look of disbelief in the black foal's eyes.

That day, for the first time, it knew the difference between otherworldly beings and ordinary beings.

From then on, it could only chase in the footsteps of its companions with all its might, but it never had the possibility of catching up.

The body of the black foal trembled violently.

A sober look quickly appeared in its eyes.

It's a memory of it!

This is the deepest and most unbearable memory in its heart!

Its size quickly grew larger, its muscular body was covered with star streaks, and a single horn with stars flashing on the top of its forehead appeared at some point.

In the shattered scene, its determined hiss echoed.

"Sigh!" (Now I can catch up with my companions!) ）
