Little Cold Star (10) New Year's Day extra ~
The white snow almost covered the entire world. The thick snow curtain made the visibility less than ten meters. If Shi Jianxia had not left cubs everywhere for positioning, he would definitely have lost his way in such an environment.
The cold wind howled, and the world became bleak and desolate. Even though Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang were not afraid of the low temperature, they were still a little tired of such weather.
The aircraft sped all the way and soon arrived at the area where the giant parasite was located. Due to the wind and snow blocking the view, Shi Jianxia did not dare to get too close and could only observe the situation ahead through Buzhou Mountain.
The giant parasite passed by the Twin Towers an hour ago. It seemed not interested in knocking down the tall buildings. It just crushed through the square in front of the Twin Towers. The shorter buildings were all affected. Some collapsed, some shattered, leaving only rubble and foundations.
It came to a river. Due to the extremely cold weather, the river was covered with a thick layer of ice. Also, due to the obstructed vision, Shi Jianxia could not judge how wide the river was. But from the perspective of Mount Buzhou, he could only see a hazy shadow. The other side of the river seemed to be a mountainous area with several hills.
Hill...
When he saw Xia Mo muttering these two words, he was suddenly startled.
Where do all those hills come from? Aren't they all giant parasites?
She looked again at the giant parasite that lay down and remained motionless after reaching the river. The more she looked, the more she felt that her guess might be true.
The giant parasites were hiding under the snow, and the cubs couldn't detect their presence at all, so naturally they couldn't determine the situation on the other side.
Shi Jianxia didn't intend to guess, so he sent Kunlunshan to fly to the other side, and asked the other cubs to disperse and carefully check both sides of the river.
Is it a hill or a giant parasite? You will know if you take a closer look.
Gongye Jiwang couldn't help, so he sat patiently on the aircraft, but he was not idle either. He took out two boxes of milk from his space bracelet and waved to the Bifang cub hiding under Shi Jianxia's hair.
Bifang was fed with insect crystals by him many times and became very familiar with him. Although he didn't like such snowy days, he still flapped his wings and flew to him. According to his instructions, he spit out a mouthful of Bifang fire to heat two boxes of milk.
Shi Jianxia finished communicating with Kunlun Mountain and was about to talk to Gongye Jiwang about the situation on the other side of the river when a box of hot milk was brought to her.
She was stunned for a moment.
Gongye Jiwang helped her insert the straw, his voice gentle and soothing, "This kind of weather is very unbearable, drinking milk will be very comfortable."
Shi Jianxia took the milk and whispered thank you, and the anxiety and tension in his heart suddenly eased a lot.
朏朏 poked its head out from under Gongye Jiwang's uniform. It was really just its head, with no neck exposed at all. It hated such heavy snow and had been snuggling in his arms like a warm baby since just now.
Cheng Huang was more obedient than it. It draped itself over Gongye Jiwang's shoulders like a scarf to warm his neck.
Gongye Ji saw that Shi Jianxia seemed to be venting his frustration. He took the milk and took a big sip, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he also lowered his head to drink the milk.
The two of them drank the milk quietly. Shi Jianxia rummaged through the space bracelet and found the candy box he had put in earlier. He took it out, opened the lid, and handed it to Gongye Jiwang, "Want some candy?"
They are round milk candies.
When completing daily training, physical energy is consumed quickly. Shi Jianxia doesn't like to drink those energy-replenishing potions. He likes to hold a piece of milk candy in his mouth. The sweet taste spreads, and the fatigue of the body seems to be driven away.
"Is this considered reciprocity?" Gongye Jiwang smiled and picked up a candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth.
The taste of sugar-free milk was immediately overwhelmed by the sweetness of the candy. He raised his hand to catch a snowflake, letting it melt on his fingertips. He said to himself in a self-amusing tone, "Actually, this white snow scene is quite beautiful. I've never seen it before."
Shi Jianxia also bit a candy and said vaguely: "I haven't seen it either, but Kunlun Mountain can snow even if it becomes bigger. It's just that its level is too low now and its size is limited, so there is no way for me to sit on the mountain and enjoy the snow."
Gongye Jiwang thought about it and saw Xia summoning Kunlun Mountain and ordering it to grow and snow for her to see. He chuckled softly and said, "When it grows into a real mountain, I want to see it snowing too."
Shi Jianxia responded, "I'll call you when the time comes, and get some firecrackers and fireworks for Xiaoxiao to set off."
The little thing loves to join in the fun, so he must be jumping up and down and having a lot of fun.
Listening to the rustling sound of snowfall, they each finished a candy.
Shi Jianxia enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation in the past few days, stretched, and returned to the topic, "Those snow piles on the other side of the river are all giant parasites."
Each one lies in a neat row at a certain distance from each other, clearly separated and not interfering with each other.
Are we doing team building here?
Gongye Jiwang was surprised and said, "The instinct of parasites is to devour each other. How can they live in peace when they are so close to each other?"
He had previously wanted to find a second giant T-shaped parasite, take advantage of their nature of devouring each other, and make them fight to the point of mutual destruction so that he could reap the benefits.
Now it seems that this method may not work.
Shi Jianxia shook her head. She couldn't figure out why this was happening, but what was certain was that this area was different from other places, and the giant parasites were not here for a blind date.
Both of them lowered their eyes in thought.
Suddenly, Gongye Jiwang asked, "Have they searched this area before?"
Shi Jianxia didn't know why he asked that and shook his head: "This place is too far from the Twin Towers. They haven't had time to explore yet."
Gongye Jiwang pursed his lips and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Are there any insect vortexes nearby?"
Hearing this, Shi Jianxia's eyelashes trembled.
Although Gongye Jiwang did not say it explicitly, his words were already implicitly revealing that he knew the cubs could devour the insect vortex.
The two of them went out together every day to look for the space shuttle, but they didn't see any insect vortexes on any of the roads. Gongye Jiwang was very careful and perceptive, so he must have noticed it a long time ago. They kept it a tacit secret and never told anyone about this big secret that could subvert the Federation.
Shi Jianxia had prepared himself mentally beforehand, and after a moment's reaction, he said frankly, "No, there weren't any insect vortexes along the way."
They came through a city. Even though the city was covered with ice and snow, traces of the parasite's rampant spread could still be seen. The larvae would not devour the mother insects that reproduced them, but different types of Zerg would devour the mother insects of other types, and a vortex would be formed in the process.
But there was not a single insect vortex in the city behind them.
This is obviously not normal.
As we all know, once a worm vortex is formed, it cannot move or disappear.
Could it be that the Zerg has created a being that can open and close the vortex?
It is obviously too arbitrary to make such a judgment based solely on the fact that no insect vortex appeared along the way the two of them came.
His thoughts reached a dead end. Gongye Jiwang stood up from the aircraft and barely glanced at the giant parasite lying motionless in the falling snow.
"I'll try to make them fight."
"This kind of weather?" Shi Jianxia asked immediately.
"It's weather like this that makes it easy to fish in troubled waters." Gongye Jiwang said as he took Cheng Huang off his shoulder and stuffed him into Shi Jianxia's arms. "The battle later might be a bit noisy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this little guy. Just follow me."
Shi Jianxia caught Cheng Huang, who still had his warm body temperature, but he was still worried: "The parasites identify their targets by their breath, and their level is unknown. If their combat power is comparable to that of a person with extraordinary abilities, you——"
"Don't worry." Gongye Jiwang blinked, "I'll be fine. If you can't beat me, I can always run away. When it comes to escaping, I'm afraid even the most powerful people can't compare to me."
Shi Jianxia looked puzzled.
Gongye Jiwang clenched his five fingers into a fist, and pale star fire flowed out, instantly condensing into an extremely sharp sword. The sword reflected the snowflakes falling from the sky, and it gently cut through them, melting the ice and snow inch by inch.
"My mimicry is called Star Power, and the planet we are on is called Xiaohan Star, one of the countless stars in the universe."
"As long as I am among the stars, my power is inexhaustible. I can go anywhere and come anywhere."
Shi Jianxia opened her eyes slightly, and after a long while, she managed to utter a few words, "You are the one who is cheating..."
Gongye Jiwang chuckled when he heard her description, "It's not that exaggerated. You are still more powerful. The cubs are both well-behaved and strong. In time, I may not be your opponent."
There is no mother who doesn't like others praising her child. Shi Jianxia was happy, but also a little embarrassed, "Then you little——"
Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if some huge monster had turned over underground, trying to turn the world upside down.
The aircraft was disturbed by an unknown force and began to sway from side to side. The engine also became very unstable and showed signs of stalling at any time.
Shi Jianxia was caught off guard and almost fell down. He subconsciously wanted to grab something and happened to hold Gongye Jiwang's hand.
The two men managed to keep their balance, but the vibrations on the ground showed no sign of stopping, and the aircraft's state became increasingly unstable. Before they could react, a strong tinnitus hit them, the sound of falling snow disappeared, and the vibrations seemed to be isolated from the world.
The shaking aircraft made two unwilling puff sounds, then completely stalled and fell straight to the ground.
The golden-red wings of the Golden Crow suddenly spread out from behind Shi Jianxia, stabilizing her shaking body. She was afraid that Gong Ye Jiwang beside her would fall, so she reflexively held his hand tightly, not remembering for a moment that he had the ability to fly.
Gongye Jiwang shook her hand back, his mouth opening and closing as if he was speaking, but Shi Jianxia only heard a sharp sound and had no idea what he was saying.
Deprived of his hearing, invisible forces vibrated layer by layer, as if something terrible was about to cross the barriers of the world and come to Xiaohan Star. Shi Jianxia instinctively sensed the danger and no longer tried to figure out what Gongye Jiwang was saying. He decisively pulled him away and flew away.
The falling snowflakes rolled hurriedly towards the riverbank, and when they passed by the two people, they were melted into water droplets by the Golden Crow's fire and fell to the ground.
Plop——
Plop——
Plop——
It was like the beating of a heart, or like ripples on the surface of a river, pressing against the eardrums of both people.
The giant parasites lying on both sides of the river bank seemed to be summoned by some force. They shook off the snow on their bodies and crawled devoutly, like subjects waiting for the arrival of the king.
The two seemed to be aware of something, and at the moment when the energy ripples completely spread out, they looked back at the core of the incident.
The suddenly torn crack was like a demon from the abyss opening its eyes from its slumber, and a hand as white as jade stretched out from it.
