Dark fog, extreme cold, meteor showers, extreme heat, zombies, mutated flora and fauna, insect swarms, beast surges...
The Water Blue Star suddenly entered an apocalypse without warning.
<...The mountains on both sides of the highway were like giant beasts suddenly awakened. Snow, along with frozen soil and rocks, fell down, and the mutated beasts that did not have time to escape were smashed into bloody and mangled corpses without even making a sound.
The Banyan King dodged awkwardly, and Banxia gently pressed down on its trunk: "..."
A stronger tremor suddenly came, and the banyan tree king was shaken uncontrollably up, down, left, and right.
She abruptly stopped speaking to avoid biting her tongue with her uncontrollable teeth.
"boom!!!"
The entire world was suddenly enveloped in a blinding blue light. In the distance, the city had been reduced to ruins. From the city center, a deep crater about ten kilometers in diameter suddenly appeared, from which countless streams of magma spewed out and flowed in all directions.
The thick ice on the ground evaporated into white mist the moment the lava passed by, filling the air with a pungent smell.
Nanxing gripped Banxia's arm and said anxiously, "Wife, let's go into the space!"
Banxia glanced at him with an inscrutable expression, then silently pulled the vines binding her body back into her palm.
Nanxing felt inexplicably uneasy: "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Banxia took him and the Banyan Tree King back into her spatial storage, and then summoned the Devouring Tree: "Tiantian, can you feel it?"
Something in the center of the pit was calling out to her loudly!
The Devouring Tree hesitated before saying, "It seems to be crying..."
Banxia touched her slightly aching chest blankly. Why did she feel uncomfortable when that thing cried?
"I want to go and take a look."
She had a strange certainty that the thing wouldn't hurt her.
Logically, the Devouring Tree should have stopped them, but it had a premonition that if it left now, it and Banxia would regret it for the rest of their lives: "I'll take you there!"
It placed the pinellia on its own branch and turned to run towards the city.
The mutated squirrel that was running away looked at the person and the tree with a terrified gaze. Could it be that it was scared out of its wits?
"Coo coo coo coo coo!"
You idiot, you're going the wrong way!
Banxia glanced at it casually, and put it into her spatial storage amidst its incredulous gaze.
The Devouring Tree ran very fast, and soon it was less than 500 meters away from the lava: "Banxia, can you smell the pungent odor?"
Banxia shook her head and hesitated before saying, "I can't smell it. Tiantian, do you feel hot?"
"No."
The man and the tree couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment; were their five senses and pain blocked?
Before they could figure it out, lava flowed from the roots of the Sky-Swallowing Tree.
"Tian Tian, how are your tree roots?"
"It doesn't hurt or itch, it's like soaking in a hot spring." The Devouring Tree moved its roots in surprise. "Banxia, I've definitely mutated!"
Banxia was tempted to touch the lava after hearing it, but after glancing at her clothes, she didn't dare to act impulsively: "Let's keep going."
The closer she got to the pit, the faster her heart beat, almost leaping out of her chest.
Banxia stared blankly at the deep pit. What exactly was inside?
She cupped her hands into a megaphone and shouted into the pit, "Hey—what's in there?"
The crying stopped abruptly.
"boom--"
Three seconds later, a beam of blue light shot into Banxia's chest with lightning speed. Before she could react, the ground beneath her feet began to collapse, and she fell into a deep pit, mixed with mud.
Just as she was about to fall into the lava, at the critical moment, she grabbed a branch offered by the Devouring Tree and flashed back into the space.
The Devouring Tree anxiously picked up Banxia and asked in a hurry, "Banxia, are you alright?"
Banxia shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just a pity about my clothes and shoes."
She wasn't afraid of the high temperature of the lava, but her clothes and shoes were, as they emitted a pungent, acrid smell.
The Devouring Tree hesitated before asking, "That light..."
Banxia, with her sharp eyes, saw Nanxing running towards them and quickly interrupted, "I'm fine."
She had a headache, unsure how to explain her reckless behavior to Nanxing. Moreover, as she touched her chest, the light seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.
When Nanxing saw Banxia's charred clothes and shoes, she nearly fainted from worry: "Are you hurt?"
Banxia quickly turned around to reassure her: "No, look, even my hair is perfectly fine."
Yes, it's so absurd that even her hair wasn't singed by the high temperature.
Nanxing breathed a slight sigh of relief and pulled her back to the bedroom to change her clothes.
The space maintains a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable for human survival. Wearing a cold-weather suit will prevent heatstroke, but it won't be very comfortable either.
After changing his clothes, Nanxing pulled Banxia to sit on the sofa, adopting a posture of having a heart-to-heart talk: "Banxia, I know you're very capable now, and you have your space to protect you in case of danger, so you won't easily get into trouble. But—"
He took a deep breath, his eyes involuntarily becoming moist. "What if something unexpected happens, like you suddenly lose consciousness, like the space suddenly becoming inaccessible, like you not being able to react in time... What will I do if something happens to you? What will happen to the gold and silver?"
Banxia's eyes welled up with tears, and she threw herself into Nanxing's arms, whispering an apology: "I'm sorry."
Perhaps everything went too smoothly after her rebirth, which made her arrogant and gradually lose her sense of awe.
If it were her previous life, even if she were absolutely certain that the unknown creature wouldn't harm her, she wouldn't have impulsively led the Devouring Tree towards danger.
This obsessed woman seems to have stopped being herself.
Banxia frowned slightly. Tiantian was also acting strangely today. That unknown creature... no, that blue light, seemed to be affecting her and Tiantian's judgment!
Thinking of this, her heart started pounding wildly: "Nanxing, did you just see a strange blue light in the space?"
If that blue light wasn't inside her body, then it was very likely hiding in the space!
Banxia squinted, her eyes filled with icy coldness.
If anything dares to take away her space, she will make it regret ever being born!
Nanxing was taken aback: "I was cleaning the room just now and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside."
He had no control over his space, and after being locked up, he could only numb his nerves by doing housework. Otherwise, once he had free time, he couldn't help but let his mind wander.
Banxia pursed her lips and decided to tell the truth so that Nanxing wouldn't be harmed by the inscrutable blue light: "Just now, a strange blue light rushed into my chest, but I can feel that it's not inside my body right now, but hiding somewhere else. I suspect it's in space."
Nanxing was shocked: "Wife, are you sure the blue light isn't in your body? Let me get Shancha to check you out."
Camellia's healing ability has been upgraded to level five. As long as it's not a serious injury like a severed hand, leg, or disembowelment, she can heal it easily in an instant.
Banxia was also afraid that the blue light would affect her judgment, so she quickly went with him to find Camellia, who was examining the mutated animals in Rongcheng.
