Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Ever since Ketalun entered the Qingqiu realm, the experienced Tallinn captain has been in a state of shock.

——I have seen beauty that humans cannot imagine. I have seen space battleships blazing next to large star clusters. I have watched psychic pulses shine in the darkness next to the giant space station of the old Enterprise Alliance. The vastness of the universe, the nebula The magnificence is a magnificence that can only be understood by intelligent beings who have sailed in the star sea for decades.

Perhaps in terms of spiritual energy, he would admit that people on earth are powerful, but in terms of aerospace and interstellar engineering, Talon is still very confident.

However, in just a few days, this confidence was shattered.

The first thing that shocked me was the performance of the spacecraft.

The Yuanwang is indeed a spacecraft built under the supervision of the Tallinn people, but its specific engine performance and inscribed array are not very clear. According to the current actual operation situation, although the overall design of the Yuanwang is relatively immature, it is not within the planetary system. The sailing speed is already very good - and this is not the limit of the people on earth, but Talon knows very well that this is because the people on earth designed this type of spacecraft for the first time and carried out a conservative design.

In contrast, he still remembered the results of the Tallinn's first starship sailing within the planetary system - it took them a full half a year just to go to the neighboring gas giant.

The starting point of the people on earth is already close to the current level of the people of Tallinn.

Secondly, it is the nature of Qingqiu Realm.

Even people on earth can tell through familiarity and analysis that the Qingqiu planetary system is not in the local galaxy cluster, or even in the entire observable universe. Can he, an old captain in Tarun, not be able to tell that?

This place is located in a different universe!

It's beyond imagination, beyond common sense... No wonder these earthlings didn't leave their home galaxy, and turned out to have colonized the outer universe! But Talon's vague sense of superiority to the earth's civilization as an 'interstellar civilization' completely dissipated, leaving only incredulity.

Of course, these are purely perceptual stimulations and not direct.

What really shocked Ketalun was the Qingqiu Si in front of him.

Artificially transforming the planet, even in the golden age of corporate alliances, is something that takes a long time and countless wealth. It requires hundreds of millions of professionals, an entire engineering fleet, and thousands of project integration teams. , tens of thousands of supporting enterprises and interstellar factories... In short, it takes a great civilization to complete it.

However, according to the dialogue between those earth psykers, it only takes a few 'Dragon Kings' and 'Immortal Immortals' to complete all of this, that is, a few fifth-level psykers, and one An alpha level psyker.

Is it simpler? No, it's more difficult,

A fifth-level psyker can take charge of a planet, and an alpha-level psyker is enough to establish a stable interstellar civilization.

Such a being can take over infrastructure construction and technological research and development by one person. Its existence itself is the greatest deterrent to national defense forces. In one, it is comparable to the entire civilization.

And a strong person of this level, according to the tone of those people on earth, can be dispatched to carry out hard work such as planet transformation... It may not be considered a coolie, but an α-level psyker can be dispatched for such a thing. itself……

This kind of shock is even more terrifying than the fact that the earth's civilization, which flourished in ancient times, can easily transform the planet.

"It seems that I made the right choice to make good friends with the earth's civilization..."

It was somewhat fortunate to think that under Ke Talun's gaze, Su Zhou, Liu Wuxin and Tang Yuan had already taken the exploration shuttle, turned into a stream of light, broke through the thin atmosphere of Qingqiu Si, and landed towards the pole.

Soon, with the launch of a recoil jet and someone's power of Lan Jia, the exploration shuttle slowed down its descent and slowly landed on a solid ice sheet.

The ground temperature is about minus 110 degrees. For ordinary people, this temperature is the temperature at which they will die immediately if exposed to the outside world without wearing a spacesuit.

But both Liu Wuxin and Tang Yuan walked out of the spindle-shaped exploration shuttle wearing only a thin protective suit without any discomfort, let alone Su Zhou who went out physically.

Immediately after landing, Tang Yuan controlled several drones to explore in all directions, while Liu Wuxin squatted down, observed the ice surface, and knocked on the ground. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "There is really life in this place. Is it? Even if there is one, is it an ice fairy or a snow girl? An ice ghost or an elemental life?"

"You really lack a love life, Brother Liu. If this continues, it may not matter to you whether you are a human being or not."

"You don't have one either?!"

"But I am only twenty years old and have plenty of time, and you are almost thirty."

Su Zhou took a deep breath of alien air. The thin atmosphere made him feel like he was on the top of a six-thousand-meter-high mountain. When he exhaled, he complained about Liu Wuxin, and then stepped forward: "Let's go, I feel it." The direction is still north."

"Tang Yuan, did you find anything?"

During the walk, Su Zhou would ask this question every once in a while, and Tang Yuan's answer was always: "We haven't found it yet, minister."

However, more than ten minutes later, Tang Yuan's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and then he looked up at Su Zhou: "Minister, I found something strange, it should be a living thing."

"Good job!" After praising Su Zhou, he opened his agent terminal and retrieved the drone's camera view. Then he was slightly startled.

"Is that a squirrel?"

He said with some confusion, and then expanded the image on the agent terminal - a big fluffy tail, a small body, and agile movements... Looking carefully, Su Zhou realized that the other party was not a squirrel: "No, it's a fox."

"fox?"

Liu Wuxin also opened the agent terminal and accepted the live broadcast permission forwarded by Tang Yuan. He also looked at it carefully and said with some uncertainty: "It does look like a fox."

"But why are there foxes here? In theory, this is a restricted area of ​​life, right?"

Liu Wuxin is a biology expert. He is very curious about what kind of life forms will be born in such an extreme ecological environment as the Qingqiu Four Poles. He has put forward many speculations before, but none of them are related to foxes.

"Don't forget that this is Qingqiu. It's not surprising that the fox is a subspecies adapted to the ice environment."

Su Zhou squinted his eyes, looked in the direction where the drone found the fox, and decisively ordered: "Go in that direction."

"Let's go over and take a look."

…

The little fox is called Xiao Wu because it is the fifth ice fox of this generation.

The mother died in childbirth while giving birth to a younger brother and a younger sister. Her body was thrown into the holy lake during a grand sacrifice and was eaten by algae and fish.

Although it's a bit sad, at least it didn't die outside and needs to be recovered by other foxes.

Following Grandpa Er all the way back to the entrance of the crypt, Xiaowu's tired ears and tail couldn't move, but they were indeed the fastest. The other foxes who were still looking up at the stars were still trying to return.

The entrance to the cave is located under the side of an ice hill. The entrance passage has a zigzag shape like '\u003c', followed by an 'L' shaped underground cave corridor.

Along the way, there are a large number of complex reliefs and murals on both sides of the corridor, with many complex pictures and strange creatures engraved on them. However, the light underground is too dim, and after so many years of walking back and forth, I have become tired of looking at them. Neither the big fox nor the little fox cared about this, but quickly entered the deepest part of the crypt.

It was a huge, completely unnatural, obviously man-made semicircular underground cavity.

The underground cavity is divided into two parts, most of which are flat rocky ground. There are black holes on the surrounding round walls. Behind the holes are independent small caves, and that is the area where the ice fox lives. The large crypt was used as a place for eating and gathering.

The other part was sparkling, and the light golden light released from the bottom illuminated the entire underground cavity.

That is part of the holy lake.

The water in the lake is warm, and even moist water vapor rises, which makes the entire underground cave warm. In this hot lake, there are even strange fish swimming among the deep purple algae.

Xiao Wu looked towards the holy lake, and his ice-blue eyes reflected a fox corpse beside the lake. It seemed to be the corpse of his little grandpa. It's true that the little grandpa felt unwell a few days ago and couldn't even lick his hair straight. It's normal for him to die now.

sad? There is nothing to be sad about. After all, a fox's head can't think of so many things, and when someone dies, it means that new members can be born. There is always a cycle.

"Goooo~"

Xiaowu heard Grandpa Er shouting in the center of the cavity. This was a rare signal, because if he wanted to find other foxes, he could just go directly to the cave.

Making a cry means that the person calling is the elder.

Immediately, accompanied by a rustling sound, one after another ice foxes with silver-white fur, big ears, and long plush tails poked their heads out of their caves and looked at the center of the cavity, which was still high. The big foxes shouted, they looked at each other, seemingly curious and confused.

And in this atmosphere, an old fox walked out of the largest cave closest to the holy lake.

It was a very old fox. Its fur had begun to become sparse and mottled lines appeared on its body. Its eyes, which were as clear as sapphire, had become cloudy. Even walking was a bit difficult.

But even so, all the foxes lowered their heads in awe when they saw the elder appear.

Because the elder is not only the blood elder of all the foxes present, but also the most powerful fox who can preside over sacrifices and repair caves.

And it even has six tails that are unimaginable for ordinary ice foxes!

After the elder appeared, Xiao Wu found that Grandpa Er patted him with his tail, so he followed the big fox forward, stretched out his tail, and contacted the elder who had been prepared for a long time.

[Have you seen the ‘moving stars’? 】

Although he was very emotionally excited, the elder's spiritual power was very gentle, the kind of gentleness that can only be displayed when the strong is facing the weak. For a moment, the two foxes seemed to be immersed in the sea, as if they could hardly breathe.

After a while, they responded.

——Yes, we saw it.

[Very good, kid, very good... But have you noticed, which star field do those moving stars fly from? 】

After emitting this spiritual power band, Xiao Wu could sense that the elder's heart was very worried... It wanted to be happy, but what was more important was confusion and worry.

It seems that the meaning of flying from which direction is particularly different.

But it was obvious that the complexity of this problem exceeded the upper limit of fox. Xiao Wu noticed that Grandpa Er was obviously stuck. He didn't know what direction was at all, let alone what the concept of star field was.

On the contrary, it was the little fox himself, because he had counted stars before, but he could clearly remember where the moving stars came from.

——That is, flying towards the shining place from that pitch-black place, and then, the moving star cracked, and a small star fell down!

Wanting to express his thoughts as much as possible, Xiao Wu's two tails swept continuously, but they were suppressed by the elder's six tails, which were somewhat sparse but still very powerful.

The little fox could feel that a gentle force seemed to sweep through his mind and read some of its memories.

[…Yes, it’s from that side…]

Then, Xiao Wu saw that the usually calm elder actually expressed surprise and shock, as well as an uncontrollable surprise: [Coming, coming, finally coming, they are coming...]

The old fox spun around in excitement, as if chasing his own tail.

But soon, it calmed down.

[Children, very good... Next, your share of prey can be doubled. Xiao Wu, you can eat two more fish. 】

The simple message came out, and the old fox shuffled back to his cave amid the happy tail-slapping celebrations of the two foxes, one large and one small.

The cave, which only the elders of the past generations can live in, is actually very simple. Except that the walls are not made of gray rock, but some kind of gray-silver hard material, it is no different from the place where ordinary ice foxes live.

Only the totem poles composed of ice fox skulls piled up in the corners of the cave can prove that this place is extraordinary.

Sky iron. A special metal alloy. The old fox knew this, but did not know the meaning of this word, but this did not affect him from lowering his head to the totem pole composed of ice fox skulls, and connecting with the totem pole with his forehead.

[Ancestor...the mobile star from the other side has arrived...the legend has been fulfilled. 】

It said so eagerly: [The immortal gods from outside the sky are about to come and lead us out of this frost hell... Ancestors, are the immortal gods really coming? 】

And long after the old fox asked piously.

Little by little, sky-blue light began to appear on the totem poles. Then, following the lines on the skulls, it condensed into a slightly burning sky-blue ice fox in the center of all the totem poles. Shadow.

"Fortunately, it's the stream of light coming from the direction of the Two Realms Moving Gate, not Qingqiu Star... Phew, although it may not necessarily be a good thing, but now, we can only believe this."

As if there were overlapping sounds mixed together, the blazing ice fox composed of spiritual light looked at the old fox, and then rubbed his head lovingly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"But, I still need you, you guys, to go to the direction where the meteor fell and look for those 'people' who came on the meteor."

Having said this, the radiant fox seemed to hesitate, but still shook his head and said: "Then, lead them to me."

"That's the only requirement."

…

On the ice field, Su Zhou squatted down slightly. He stared with interest at a little fox that came to the door before they could find it.

I have to say that the appearance of the ice fox is absolutely perfect. Whether it is the dexterous big ears, the more dexterous downy tail, or the smooth silver-white fur, people can’t help but want to wear them around their necks. stand up.

cute? No, no, no, using cute to describe this feeling is too superficial. Su Zhou, who stroked the other person's spine, felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

"You want to take me there?"

Touching the fox with his right hand, Su Zhou said this. He could see the little fox making a comfortable "gurgling" sound. Next to him, there were two larger foxes beside him. He took the initiative to rub his. The left hand looks very happy and joyful.

If it were normal Su Zhou, he would definitely hold these foxes in his arms at this time and rub them vigorously to release the 'furry rubbing power'.

But now, beneath the superficial smile, he had serious eyes, staring closely at these familiar foxes.

——Duowei, fox, Qingqiu...

With so many elements, could it be said that these foxes are...

Just when Su Zhou was having doubts in his heart, Liu Wuxin at the side had a long face.

"That's not fair!"

With muscles all over his body squirming, he said angrily to Tang Yuan on the other side: "Why can't I touch the foxes if I want to? Su Zhou can rub three of them at the same time?!"

Upon hearing this question, the pale Tang Yuan turned his head and looked at Liu Wuxin.

The young man said with great seriousness: "Is there any need to say it?"

"Because you are not as handsome as the minister!"

"really?"

His face twisted for a moment, Liu Wuxin looked at Su Zhou who was still communicating with the fox, and couldn't help but touch his short head. He was forced to accept the fact: "But... well, I admit that Su Zhou is indeed very kind. Handsome, but obviously, I am more masculine, right?!"

As he said this, he was unwilling to be outdone and assumed a bodybuilding posture, and both his biceps and rhomboids were clearly displayed.

But Tang Yuan shook his head: "Although the minister doesn't look like a muscular man...but when he transformed into his true form and used his dragon body to smash the wreckage of the spaceship, he really had a temperament."

"And the muscles on the dragon's body are also the minister's muscles."

Hearing this, Liu Wuxin, who had no real body, immediately withered.

"That's cheating!"

He was so indignant, but he saw Su Zhou standing up suddenly, and the three foxes who appeared on their own initiative also started running forward, seeming to lead the way.

"Wait, Su Zhou, you want to follow?"

In an instant, Liu Wuxin changed his previous attitude of wanting to touch the fox. He stopped Su Zhou, frowned, and analyzed in a clear tone: "Be careful - who knows what these alien foxes have prepared! Although they They look cute, but you don’t know what their purpose is or what they’re talking about… maybe they’re bait for traps?”

"I understand."

But Su Zhou answered the question as quickly as possible: "They want to invite us to be their guests, and their tone is very sincere."

"But we should be careful and don't follow them - a group of foxes lead people. This kind of thing is very weird anytime!"

"Come on, Brother Liu, I know you are cautious, but there is not even an awakening level here, what are you afraid of."

In a straightforward move, Su Zhou took out the agent terminal and expressed the request to the spacecraft that "the exploration time needs to be extended." Then he turned around and called Tang Yuan: "Let's go."

"Let's see what these cute foxes are up to."

Walking on ice at temperatures above minus 100 degrees is a romantic or dangerous thing. Even an ordinary fairy fox will be greatly hindered in its movement - but the ice fox's silver-white fur can Absorb the extreme elements around you and turn them into your own use.

The romantic walk on the ice lasted for a long time and finally stopped in front of a frosty hill. Su Zhou and others finally arrived at their destination.

A huge cave located in a sheltered area with a sloped inner corridor.

"Guga~"

The smallest of the three leading foxes made such a sound, and then followed the cave into it. Immediately afterwards, the other two foxes also entered.

"Is this the entrance?"

Facing this large pit that the foxes entered one after another, Tang Yuan stared at the extremely deep cave in front of him. He couldn't help but look surprised: "These foxes can actually dig such a large unnatural cave? How amazing."

"It's getting weirder and weirder... Liu Wuxin murmured to himself, and he felt a little uneasy: "How could a fox dig such a big hole! "?"

At this time, Su Zhou didn't care about the team member who liked to scare him.

His eyes are very serious

"Shuttle."

While squatting down, Su Zhou observed the ice layer in detail.

After he straightened up, he turned his head and said briefly to Liu Wuxin and Tang Yuan: "Under the ice, there is a Void-Breaking Shuttle - which is the 'cosmic transportation tool' in the ancient age of immortals and gods."

"I want to go down and have a look."

Without any hesitation, Su Zhou jumped directly towards the bottom of the cave.
