Chapter 492: Mutation, Snake City Appears!
Countless red flowers bloomed in the grassland, covering the mountains and plains. The scene really looked like the "other shore" in myths and legends, but this "other shore" was not heaven.
This magical plant needs a huge amount of water to grow.
The grassland is withering rapidly every day.
Large numbers of the original plants were sucked dry, revealing the dry and yellow soil.
The air temperature was getting higher and higher, reaching 40 degrees Celsius in just a few days, as hot as a furnace.
This strange change makes people extremely nervous.
On the fifteenth day, a huge mirage suddenly appeared in the sky!
“Look!”
On the boundless Gobi Desert and the hard alkaline ridges, there were no birds in the sky and no animals on the ground. The vast expanse was empty and devastated. A city wall that was so dilapidated that only broken walls and ruins remained came into view.
The dilapidated mud houses, the ruined temple with only a few pillars and beams left, the half-collapsed house, and the magnificent snake man palace are intertwined together to form an ancient city with a barbaric atmosphere.
Lu Yuan saw the shadow of the ancient city through the floating satellite in the sky. His pupils dilated and he took a breath.
This scene...seems familiar.
He immediately realized that this was not a so-called "mirage", but...
Matter from a certain alien dimension is falling towards this world!
"The ability to have multiple different dimensions!!"
"There really is a [monster] controlling all this..."
Lu Yuan's eyes widened, recalling the battle with the [Monster]: "This should be the true appearance of the ancient snake city. However, the [Monster]'s spatial ability split it into two parts... One part is the snake city, and the other part is the snake palace."
"Now, for some unknown reason, the [monster] has merged them together again."
"Could it be that there were no ghosts in the original palace?" Miss Conch speculated, "Our grassland world may be the first layer, and the ghosts may have originally been on the second layer."
"Now that the [ghost] has revived, the [monster] can no longer hold on, so we just banished it to the first floor. But there should be a third and fourth floor."
"I really want to control this [Monster]. If I can control it, I can solve any problem."
"I'm afraid it's unlikely. It hasn't shown up in so many years." The conch said, "The monster you defeated before was from the early era, but this one can feed intelligent creatures and has no shortage of energy. You will never see it in your lifetime."
Lu Yuan discovered that her way of speaking had become strange since she became the "Queen of the Human Race". He immediately grabbed her pigtails and roared viciously, "If I can't beat the [Ghost], then I can't bully you?"
"I don't have many days left to live anyway, so why not bully him more?"
Lao Mao felt that it was really abnormal that these two people could still fight in such an occasion.
It murmured, "There must be a huge secret hidden here, comrade, the time for corruption has come. I know you will be able to rise from it and embezzle a lot of good things..."
"Can you please stop imagining me as something so weird?"
Lu Yuan loosened the pigtail.
He really had no other choice. He didn't dare to use the Greedy Demon for the time being. Hydrogen bombs and the like were of little use. He could neither escape nor catch the monster.
His ability of teleportation can indeed penetrate into another dimension, but at least he has to "imagine" the existence of that dimension.
It is very difficult for a three-dimensional creature to understand this kind of high-dimensional overlap. He now has nowhere to teleport to, and cannot imagine where the "multiple different spaces" are.
"Keep reconnaissance to a minimum! Reduce urban activity!"
"Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone should stay in the tiankeng as much as possible. We still have to continue observing to see if the [ghost] will crawl out."
…
The Lanpeng civilization also retreated, and apart from releasing some unmanned probes for long-distance reconnaissance, it basically did nothing else.
The fall of matter in the alien space took almost a month.
The extra area is a dead land.
People saw large areas of gray-black "Yadang".
The so-called "Yardang" is a typical wind-eroded landform, meaning "small hill with steep walls". Simply put, it is a mound standing on the ground, and they look like gloomy tombs.
I saw withered trees, large haystacks and cracked bluestone walls.
Those weathered stones are thicker than imagined.
I saw a few more snake-like creatures, naked, blue-gray all over, about 4 meters long, incredibly thin, with long slender hands, and their pairs of vertical pupils staring into the distance.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They have lived and multiplied here for who knows how many years.
Not only the Blue Peng people, but even humans themselves felt a little confused when they saw this strange scene. If they could not find a way to leave, they might also slowly lose their minds like the Snake People and become a "captive" race.
This is truly the great terror between life and death.
What is perhaps more miserable than death is that generation after generation live a life worse than death.
Then, something even stranger happened. As the snake city was completely restored, the phantom of the [ghost] disappeared. However, the strong sense of crisis still lingered in the city and took a long time to dissipate.
Human beings and the Blue Roc civilization have each launched their own floating satellites.
The atmosphere of Pangaea is so thick that it is unrealistic to launch satellites into space.
Therefore, we can only use the Pandora anti-gravity system to suspend the satellite at an altitude of 100,000 meters for long-distance reconnaissance.
It turns out that this method is actually quite good. Except for some areas with strong idealistic interference that are difficult to spy on, most areas can be seen clearly.
One after another, the snake-like creatures stood up and stared dimly in the direction of the palace. The corners of their mouths gradually cracked open, revealing a strange smile.
These strange creatures will find food when they are hungry and drink water when they are thirsty, but their spiritual intelligence has disappeared, leaving only some animal wisdom.
"Prince Lu, what should we do next? Do we need to form a joint exploration team? There is no point in just waiting like this." Prince Jinbot of the Lanpeng civilization sent a remote communication.
"It has been confirmed that unmanned exploration tools cannot be used in the snake people's city. We can only explore with manpower."
"Keep silent for now and don't be so anxious." Lu Yuan stared at the images sent by the satellite. He did not find the ghost, which was a blessing in disguise.
"The Joint Exploration Team needs elite troops... Do you have any special candidates for divine skills?"
