Chapter 810 The Intersection of Light and Shadow
Later, in order to save time, Lin Lan asked the Purifiers and Scavengers to go with them to the ancient ruins of the island core on Shimmer Island, and explained in detail the formations set up by the great master of the Natlan Empire on the way.
"This experimental material from the NL area is indeed a rare research object. The formation he arranged has been in existence for four hundred years according to the calculations of the Clearers and me."
The Purifier was riding on her Hammerhead Shark Suit. While in the air, she reminded Xuefeng and Royal Wealth beside her to be careful not to fall, and said loudly to Lin Lan:
"The NL area has been under the jurisdiction of the builders before. The experimental materials in that area have some strange powers. The ability to curb the erosion caused by X is one of these strange powers."
"The builders and testers have conducted many research experiments on the experimental materials in the NL area, but so far, they have not been able to determine the source of these strange powers."
The intelligence information provided by the Purifier gave Lin Lan a rough understanding of why the great master was able to help Shimmer Island stabilize the X pollution within the original power for such a long time.
It is so mysterious to say that Yantian is actually a certain formation that the great master personally arranged, which can only last for about four hundred years at most.
In his opinion, as the strongest extreme person in the huge Natlan Empire, the Grand Imperial Master should be comparable in strength to the former co-leader of the Ten Islands, God Reiying.
But that being said, what kind of power do the Extremers of the Natlan Empire possess to curb the erosion of X?
You must know that ancient Liaozhou people like Shen Lianying and others were directly created by the gods, and were blessed with the power of origin, so they had the means to control elements and barriers to fight against X.
In the words of the Natlanders…
Could it be because of killing gods?
Lin Lan suddenly remembered Shen Lianying's previous introduction, and vaguely connected with this possibility.
The royal family of Natland once killed one of the four goddesses who created this world, but that goddess did not blame the Natlanders before she died.
Combined with what the Purifier said that the Natlan Empire also had traces of X's erosion and pollution, he had to suspect that the slain goddess might have given some kind of blessing to the Natlan people before she died. Against X.
Or rather, the goddess might not be dead at all. After all, how can a god be killed so easily?
Lin Lan, who wanted to understand this, did not tell the Purifier about the gods. He still planned to go to the Natlan Empire to verify these matters in person later.
At this time, the land below them had been occupied by a dense forest-like jungle of luminous fungi.
The surrounding air, which should have been shrouded in black, is filled with many colorful fungus spores, like light particles converging into mist, and sweet-smelling fungus spores.
This dreamy and wonderful scenery made the girls around the Chongsakura ship riding on the Butterfly of Light couldn't help but marvel.
At this time, Wei Guangchen introduced this wild fungus jungle to everyone on the Light Butterfly:
"Looking down from above, you can indeed see the beautiful side of the inner core of Shimmer Island most clearly."
"But if you travel through the jungle below, you will encounter active attacks from various carnivorous fungi, as well as attacks and infestations from night monsters."
"Many adventurers even call this ancient ruins of the island core the Shadow Death Zone."
After hearing Wei Guangchen's words, Vida, who had been here with Saint Martin before, sighed and said:
"You definitely don't want to know how mind-numbing those disgusting vines surrounding us from all directions and the creeping fungus beneath our feet are."
"There are also many pale, eyeless creatures crawling out of the shadows and biting people... Wow, thinking about it now, that scene is ten thousand times more exaggerated than the horror games in the port area."
Well, after hearing Vida's complaints, Bailong, who was still thinking of landing to check it out, gave up her thoughts on the spot.
It's one thing to explore and pursue excitement, but it's another thing to fight so many disgusting creatures.
Shen Lianying also added at this time:
"The place where light and shadow meet is different from the Flower City. Even though it was a thousand years ago, it still looked like this. Nothing has changed."
"It's just that the divine species living in this fungus jungle at that time were not the monsters we are today. They were intelligent beings like us."
Shen Lianying's words made Lin Lan understand that the group of monsters that had not lost their minds on Shimmering Island might be the real masters of the island.
Above the core area of the island is a gorgeous and beautiful mist of luminous spores, and in the dense forest of wild fungi, there are countless dark element monsters living there.
The intersection of light and shadow truly deserves its reputation.
But now, these monsters who are proficient in dark elements, like the ruins monsters on Inaba Island, have become the biggest obstacle blocking the Liaozhou people from accessing the island core altar.
"By the way, will there be a broken small barrier in the sky like Inaba Island?"
Lin Lan suddenly remembered their experience on Inaba Island yesterday, and asked Kami Rei Sakura who was not far away with some worry.
"This... Shimmer Island has a special geographical location, so there are very few small barriers that have been placed in the air. If nothing else happens, we should be able to reach the island core ancient altar safely from the air."
"Compared with these, I remember that some flying monsters with dark elements can hide in the spore mist. This is what we need to guard against."
Shen Lianying thought about the past memories and replied to Lin Lan, which also made Lin Lan feel slightly relieved.
"If a monster really appears, Yukikaze-sama will definitely protect everyone!"
However, after hearing Kamire Sakura's words, Yukikaze, who was sitting on the Purifier Hammerhead with Royal Wealth, showed a bright smile and said loudly.
"Really? Really? Then Xiaoxue Feng, I have to rely on you to escort and protect my captain!"
Royal Wealth was obviously unaware of Prince Snow's hidden passivity. When he heard that the little loli with heavy cherry cat ears next to him was so energetic, he immediately smiled and reached out to touch Xuefeng's head with a smile.
"Leave it to Lord Yukikaze. It's just a convoy mission, but Lord Yukikaze has never made any mistakes."
Seeing what the royal wealth said, Xuefeng even shook her silver kitten ears and puffed up her chest proudly.
However, this originally heartwarming scene not only made Lin Lan's face suddenly become a little subtle, but also all the girls on the Chongsakura ship riding on the Light Butterfly took a breath.
Especially Musashi, she seemed to have thought of something bad after hearing Xuefeng's words, and her face became very ugly.
Just when Musashi opened his mouth slightly, wanting to remind him of the royal wealth, the next second, an accident happened as expected.
"Boom!"
"Wow!!!"
Accompanied by a dull collision and the panicked shouts of the three people, the hammerhead shark suit controlled by the Purifier suddenly lost its balance as if it hit a transparent wall.
And this caused the three of them to fall straight into the wild fungus jungle below in an instant.
"No, land quickly and rescue people!"
Lin Lan was shocked by such a sudden change, and he quickly shouted for everyone to control the light butterfly and descend to chase them.
Lin Lan almost didn't need to think about it to guess that the Purifier had definitely bumped into the small barrier fragments that Shen Lianying said were almost impossible to encounter.
