Chapter 297 Starry Sky Mystery
Chapter 297 Starry Sky Mystery
The wilderness was not safe. While waiting for their servants to return, Lin Xiaoxiao and Ling Hao were attacked several times by mutant animals roaming nearby in the evening.
It is precisely for this reason that Lin Xiaoxiao realized that the wild is becoming more and more dangerous. Even in the urban areas where hunting teams often roam, there are many newly emerged mutant animals roaming around. The sparsely populated areas outside the city are even more of a battlefield for mutant animals and plants to fight each other.
As a result, she became increasingly pessimistic about the decision to move out of the city and find another gathering place, but everything had to wait until Li Shiwen and others came out with new information before making a decision.
Darkness enveloped the earth, and the snow that accumulated to a height of a person could not reflect any light. In the thick and sticky darkness, the sounds of wind and snow, breathing and heartbeats intertwined, constantly amplifying human panic.
Lin Xiaoxiao moved closer to the heater and tilted her head to look at Ling Hao who was writing and drawing on a piece of paper beside her: "Aren't you afraid?"
Ling Hao did not answer Lin Xiaoxiao's question. He waved to Lin Xiaoxiao to come closer and handed the paper in his hand to her.
Under the dim light from the heater, the humanoid limbs on the paper kept twisting and deforming in light and dark, as if they were about to jump out of the paper.
Frowning, Lin Xiaoxiao suppressed the urge to tear the paper into pieces and looked at Ling Hao: "Could this be a space creature?"
In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what real starry sky creatures looked like, but the creatures drawn by Ling Hao could make people feel disgusting and weird even if they were just on paper. This was a characteristic different from the creatures on her planet, so she guessed that this might be the creature that Ling Hao had seen in the starry sky.
Reaching out to smooth Lin Xiaoxiao's frown, Ling Hao tapped the paper with the pen in his hand: "I have never seen any star creatures. These are the statues of the ancestors that I saw in the star ruins. I saw them by chance."
As if thinking of some painful past, his expression was a little sad. "I originally thought it was an illusion when my mind was weak, but now it seems that it might be a corner of the truth. But I was too stupid at that time. I actually thought that the stone could decide my life or death. What a huge scam."
scam?
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up a handful of the scattered soul stone powder in the firelight and asked a question that had just popped up in her mind: "Why do you think such a stone can control your life and death? If this stone can really control your life and death, how did you bring it out?"
The later it got at night, the more active Lin Xiaoxiao's mind became. The problems that she had ignored during the day popped up one after another. She didn't think that a smart man like Ling Hao would risk his life just because of someone else's words and a glowing stone. There must be many cases to prove the authenticity of this stone.
As expected, Ling Hao talked about a friend of his with a serious expression.
"In fact, when I first became a member of the Starry Sky System, I was basically in a very chaotic state. It took a long time for me to learn how to become a system that helps the host complete tasks. It was not until I assisted the first host to complete the world mission that I gradually realized what I was doing."
The fingers holding the paper gradually tightened, and Ling Hao's body could not stop shaking in the dark night: "I clearly remember how excited the first host was when he ascended the throne of the emperor, and all the people prostrated themselves at his feet. But in the morning light, his expression slowly changed and gradually became a person I was not familiar with."
Moving closer to Lin Xiaoxiao, Ling Hao's voice sounded strange and terrifying in the wind and snow in the dark night.
"Not only the host, but all the people under his command changed. Then the planet quickly shrank and withered like a grape that had been sucked dry by bugs. I almost escaped from that world."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's calm face under the firelight, Ling Hao's voice gradually calmed down: "I returned to the starry sky and reported the last horrific scene to the intelligent brain, but the intelligent brain did not respond. I only received the reward for completing the task.
Yes, I was unwilling to give up and found the Starry Sky External Office. In the square there, I saw with my own eyes a system soul being dug out of the source energy stone and crushed into pieces before disappearing into thin air. I still remember his screams. "
Lin Xiaoxiao stuffed the hot tea into the hands of Ling Hao, who was shaking all over. After thinking for a while, she shook her head.
First of all, she couldn't confirm whether what Ling Hao saw at that time was true or false. Was the so-called dissipated system soul just a threat?
Secondly, she couldn't be sure whether Ling Hao was immune to the soul connection of the Origin Energy Stone because he had a human body. What was so special about the human body for the starry sky soul?
Finally, what does the statue that Ling Hao drew represent? Is it a real space creature? What kind of means and energy can quickly make a planet wither and dry up?
What does a shrunken planet look like? Is it like a burst balloon?
Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts were in a mess for a moment, and she felt that there were many mysteries, and the answers to these questions were not something Ling Hao could fully explain. She had to capture a starry sky soul and ask it in person. More importantly, she had to have the means to deal with the starry sky soul, but now she knew almost nothing about the starry sky soul.
It is said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Lin Xiaoxiao feels that he may have to find an opportunity to blend into the soul of the starry sky.
It is said that when you feel sleepy, hand over a pillow. Just when Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to infiltrate the enemy, Li Shiwen finally sent news.
"Master, the worst situation has happened. Wang Miao has been targeted by several goddesses of the Starry Sky God Cult stationed by the Wang family."
"Oh? How are you, with her?"
Although she knew that the official shelter was full of dangers, Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that Wang Miao would be targeted as soon as he returned. The Star People were too perceptive, which forced her to give up the idea of probing into the Star People's intelligence.
"Master, I have an idea, I hope you won't refuse it."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but she knew that Li Shiwen seemed well-behaved but was actually a very stubborn person, and she was afraid that this girl wanted to do something privately again.
As expected, Li Shiwen expressed his thoughts: "Ms. Wang has basically been parasitized by the so-called goddess. Her soul is quite unstable but not completely asleep. I think this is an opportunity.
I will hide deep in Miss Wang's consciousness, and maybe I can learn some information about the Star People through close contact."
As if she was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would not agree, she immediately made a promise: "Master, you can rest assured. I have been hiding deep in Miss Wang's consciousness and will not be discovered. Yang Shu can also protect me. We need more information."
This makes sense. Lin Xiaoxiao also knows that after what happened last time, Li Shiwen is no longer the kind of person who will give up on her easily. Maybe this idea is really worth a try?
Looking at the land in the distance that was completely soaked in darkness, she told Li Shiwen: "Okay, I will let Yang Shu and Sister Yu Ji hide in the shelter to pick you up. If necessary, you should ensure your own safety first. Thank you."
