Chapter 1373 Broken Flowers
The passage of time in the Ruins Cave is different from that in the real world.
Although Zhong Yuan walked in it for five minutes, in fact, several hours had passed in the outside world.
Based on the on-site situation of the first return to the ruins, a speculation can be made:
When the first alien race walked out of the Ruins Cave, the passage of time inside and outside the Ruins Cave would reach a short-term synchronous balance.
It is this short-term synchronization that gives the alien race a chance to retreat. When they use the Ruins Cave to reach the new world and encounter strong enemies again, they can return to the Ruins Realm in time and avoid being wiped out.
The Ruins Cave is definitely not a natural phenomenon.
Its opening is like a well-designed plan that has been fully considered in advance. But the people who designed the Ruins Cave must not have thought that after humans plundered the Ruins Energy from the alien race, they could also use the Ruins Cave to reversely invade the Ruins Realm after mastering the correct way to enter and exit.
There are advanced intelligent life forms that have mastered the Ruins Energy in the Ruins Realm!
This is the valuable information that Zhong Yuan obtained after his second exploration of the Ruins Realm.
In addition, he is the only one who can stay awake under the invasion of that strange idea. If it were someone else, they would either be successfully possessed or have a mental breakdown.
Zhong Yuan thought secretly: Things related to the dark world are too scary. However, strictly speaking, I am also one of them.
Soon, a light appeared in front.
It was blurry and I couldn't see the situation outside clearly.
It would be fine if a bunch of Xu Neng came to wait for him, but if he was hugged and photographed as soon as he walked out of the Xu cave, and the photo became a proof of his friendly relationship with Bingdi, it would be troublesome.
Whoever suddenly ran out and made a move would be beaten to death!
Marshmallow stood on his shoulder, staring straight at the light in front.
The blurry and invisible light and shadow overlapped, it was a colorful world that he had never seen before, and the infinite vitality shocked him greatly.
Cotton Ball said, "Wow! Are we almost there? Is the exit in front?! There are delicious food everywhere~~~"
Just now I taught him a lesson, but he still only thinks about food...
Zhong Yuan frowned slightly and said seriously, "As my pet, how can you only think about satisfying your appetite? At the very least, you should be able to solve calculus, write argumentative essays, know how to make oxygen, use physical instant death with 100% efficiency, and speak three languages. Roll up the electric eels raised by Jiang Shao!"
I didn't understand anything before, but when Jiang Shao was mentioned, Cotton Ball's desire to win was immediately aroused, "Wow! Are the electric eels he raises very powerful?"
"Of course," Zhong Yuan said solemnly, "Black-spined electric eels live in seawater and can withstand terrible water pressure that you can't bear. They can also be electrified and discharge electricity. Their greatest ability is that they can give birth to many electric eel babies at a time. You are alone and don't have any special skills, so you can't beat them."
Cotton Ball clenched his claws and said firmly, "I can't lose, I am the strongest."
Zhong Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
There is plenty of food here, and there are almost no natural enemies. There is a lack of hunting opportunities. Sooner or later, Cotton Ball will be eaten by pigs and mongooses. Give it something to do to distract its attention.
Go! Out!
Zhong Yuan stepped out of the cave cautiously. The imagined strict defense and surprise hug did not come.
The sun shone directly down, the heat was overwhelming, and the ground temperature was at least 40 degrees. Looking at the surrounding environment, low shrubs grew on the sandy soil, with some unknown berries on them.
In the distance, the reddish-brown mountains formed a series of unpredictable trenches, the rocks were steep, and the water and oases were scattered on the land, so that this area would not completely become a death zone.
Cotton Ball felt refreshed.
The warm and dry wind was a comfortable natural phenomenon that did not exist in the world of ruins, and there was a sweet smell that had never been smelled before, refreshing the mongoose.
It couldn't help but breathe hard, scratching its ears and cheeks and saying, "Wow! I like it here! It's so warm and fragrant! There must be delicious food nearby!"
I fell in love with this world when I first arrived. Compared with the barren Xujie, even the barren desert area is a paradise full of food.
Zhong Yuan didn't care about the little pet's reaction, but he was suspicious: Xudong was opened, why was there no one?
Is it too remote here, and there is no Xu monitoring device deployed?
The mountains in the distance are very unique, and the rocks reflect a wonderful luster under the sunlight, which is unpredictable.
It is likely to be a protected area of some special landform.
Zhong Yuan took out his mobile phone and turned on the positioning function. After a few seconds, he found helplessly that there was no network.
Suddenly, the little X bird popped up a warm reminder: Do you want to connect to the network to activate the positioning function?
"…………"
At this time, you should turn off the phone, but forget it.
Zhong Yuan followed the prompt and pressed the connection.
In less than two seconds, the icon of successful network connection appeared on the phone.
It quickly establishes a connection with the satellite without a SIM card. It was the little X bird that helped me connect.
I suspect that the old man has tampered with the phone, and now I finally have evidence.
I'll settle accounts with him later!
Zhong Yuan checked the location and it showed the current location: Lighthouse Country, Colorado Desert Reserve, the famous Bloody Canyon is nearby.
It is indeed the territory of the lighthouse...
Zhong Yuan was a little unhappy and said to Cotton Ball, "It's bare here, with too little vegetation. The Danxia landform in China is unique in the world, with spectacular scenery. It not only has wonderful deep canyons, but also waterfalls, rivers, various rich water resources, and lush green vegetation everywhere. The environment is ten thousand times better than here."
A bunch of little stars lit up in Cotton Ball's eyes, and he said excitedly, "Wow! I think this place is already great... I didn't expect there would be a better place! But it smells so good here, I don't want to leave."
? ? ?
Where does the fragrance come from in the no-man's land?
The mongoose has a good sense of smell, maybe it smelled the smell of BBQ dozens of kilometers away?
Seeing that Zhong Yuan was unmoved, Cotton Ball hung his paws and made a cute clicking sound, "Take me there, okay?! I want to go! Mr. White Thief!"
Good guy, he suddenly made a wish.
What do you want me to do with White Thief? The wish code is wrong!
Zhong Yuan said, "I really can't do anything with you. It's agreed that you can only take a look and leave, and you can't eat other people's things casually! By the way, wait until the ruins are closed before leaving."
Ten minutes later,
Cotton Ball excitedly swung his tail and began to point the way.
Its sense of smell is so terrible that it actually crossed the reserve for dozens of kilometers.
We're there!
"Is this the place?"
Cotton Ball nodded, sniffing the air, looking at the things on the ground, drooling.
"You can't eat this."
Zhong Yuan was speechless for a moment and hurried to stop him.
It was a big bunch of red roses, 999 in total, and they seemed fresh, but none of them were intact.
They were trampled and ravaged by people, and a large number of delicate petals fell into the dust. Before long, they would be blown away by the wind and difficult to find.
