Qin Xiao and his group walked towards the location where the plasma jet was being launched.
Looking around, this place seems to be some kind of bushland.
The visible 'plants' do not grow very tall, but each plant emits a special fluorescence.
These fluorescent substances can even get on people who pass by.
Qin Xiao tried many methods, but he couldn't eliminate it.
A tiny, mosquito-like insect quickly swarmed around.
"Jingjing! Kill them!"
Qin Xiao was getting anxious; mosquitoes were the worst kind of thing.
Jingjing floated up from Qin Xiao's neck, and a powerful aura spread out.
But the swarm of mosquitoes didn't react at all and continued to approach.
Jingjing's dark golden dragon eyes were somewhat displeased. She unleashed a burst of dragon breath, and dark golden, knife-like, sharp flames surged forth.
Within a 180-degree angle, all living things were burned, torn apart, and turned to ashes.
Just as Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the buzzing sound suddenly intensified.
Dark clouds rose into the sky, covering the mountains and fields; they were countless mosquitoes gathered together.
"Damn it! Ilya, run!" Qin Xiao got goosebumps all over.
Faced with this swarm of mosquitoes, running away is the wisest choice.
Even if you could kill them, there would be no benefit; it would be a thankless and disgusting task.
"Damn it, no wonder we haven't found any creatures around here."
At Ilya's speed, after running for about an hour, she finally left the eerie thicket.
In an instant, the world stretched out before us, with the starry sky overhead and a vast, desolate expanse of barren desert below.
The dark clouds lingered at the edge of the bushes, not following Qin Xiao's footsteps.
"Master, why aren't these mosquitoes chasing after us anymore?"
Bai Ling asked curiously.
Qin Xiao's expression was cryptic. "All living things have a sense of territory and a sense of danger. Since the other party doesn't dare to enter this area..."
That naturally proves that there is a greater danger here, or at least something to restrain them.
Bai Ling stood atop Youyou's head, gazing into the distance.
“Strange, there’s nothing wrong with this. I didn’t see anything unusual at the plasma launch site.”
Bai Ling shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled.
Qin Xiao considered for a moment, then said, "Let's keep going. Whatever it is, let's see first. Anyway, we don't have any intelligence."
The group continued forward toward the direction where plasma jets were being emitted intermittently.
After advancing only a few hundred meters, the hair on Qin Xiao and the others began to float, and a slight stinging sensation appeared on their skin.
Qin Xiao watched as Bai Ling and Slovic's casually tied hair came undone and floated up.
Fleeting sparks of electricity occasionally appeared in the air, as if there were some kind of electrical network in the air.
Qin Xiao cautiously stopped. Of the five people in the group, only Ilya was unaffected.
"Ilya, what's going on?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.
Ilya stretched out her fair arm, and the electric current in the air seemed to find its direction, surging towards Ilya's arm.
“Electric field!” Ilya said in a deep voice.
"If this level and range of electric field were created by some strange beast, Master, we might not be a match for it."
As she spoke, Ilya closed her eyes and sensed for a while before opening them again. "Master, I can't feel the boundary, nor can I feel where the current is coming from."
Qin Xiao jumped off Ilya's back, and as soon as he landed, he was shocked a few times by a sudden, tiny electric current.
Seeing the faint light emanating from the ground, he casually scooped up a handful of sand and gravel.
Tiny, fluorescent things appeared in the sand and gravel. As the sand and gravel were poured out, Qin Xiao could see the fluorescent insects clearly.
In Qin Xiao's hands, these blue-purple, rice-grain-sized fluorescent insects occasionally flashed with a barely perceptible electric current before bouncing violently.
It's like an electrified firefly.
Several people gathered around, "The electric field and current here all come from these insects?"
Ilya's eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise.
"If I could catch more of these, I could put them in my demon realm space."
Qin Xiao shook his head. "I don't think it will work. Look, it's only been a short time since they were caught, and there's already no news about them."
Sure enough, those blue-purple electric insects were now lying motionless in Qin Xiao's palm, as if they were dead.
Qin Xiao casually tossed the insect in his hand into the sand and gravel on the ground. "However, these insects are only responsible for generating electricity."
There should still be countless tiny electric currents in that place that can control electrical energy or gather it.
Qin Xiao watched as the blue-purple plasma jet surged into the sky, crashing into the transparent field like fireworks and exploding with a bang.
A booming, buzzing sound, like thunder, echoed and traveled high in the sky.
"No wonder the mosquitoes don't dare to come in. No matter how many there are, they are all attacked indiscriminately here."
Bai Ling spoke thoughtfully.
Qin Xiao looked at Ilya, "Ilya, can these currents be controlled?"
Ilya nodded and said confidently, "No problem, this weak current can reach a radius of several thousand meters."
"In that case, let's continue towards our goal. I want to see what kind of novel thing it is."
Qin Xiao immediately decided that what started as curiosity had now become genuinely interesting.
However, if he couldn't handle the current, Qin Xiao would definitely turn around and leave.
I'd rather go back and play with mosquitoes; this vast electric field area may seem peaceful, but it's actually extremely dangerous.
Continuing onward, another hour passed, and the frequency of electric currents appearing in the air increased.
As the density of the electric field increases, walking in such an electrostatic field becomes increasingly difficult, even without the risk of electric shock.
If it weren't for Ilya controlling the electric field and current in the air, we probably wouldn't be able to move forward by now.
Strange, bluish-green, fungal-like objects, resembling moss or lichen, began to appear sporadically on the ground.
These blue-green, fungal-like mosses spread out countless tiny branches, slowly growing towards the uncovered areas.
Fungal mats?
A strange term popped into Qin Xiao's mind.
These sticky, gooey things look so much like the insectoid fungal carpets from movies and TV shows from my past life.
The flickering current seemed to infuse these fungal mats with energy, causing the tiny blue-purple veins to glow and dim as if breathing.
Stepping on these fungal mats, the other party showed no reaction; instead, a large number of spore-like light spots were emitted from beneath the mats.
With a slight gust of air, it drifted away into the distance in an instant.
The light spots fell onto the distant land, and then, tiny blue-purple electric insects grew.
More current is generated from all directions, providing energy for the expansion of the fungal carpet and indicating its direction.
Qin Xiao watched for a while, sighed, and then followed the glowing veins of the fungal carpet, continuing to advance along the currents.
