The huge body of the pterosaur hovered above the stone statues.
Xu Xin also took this opportunity to look at the group of giant stone beasts below.
Hmm... these should be the giant beasts in the underground world.
Each of these giant beasts has a strange appearance and does not look like a normal creature at all.
Moreover, when we got closer, we found that the stone statues were not all giant beasts, there were also some smaller ones.
There are even strange-looking giant stone insects crawling on the ground.
Obviously, they are all monsters from the underground world that have undergone mutation.
Although there were big and small stone creatures in the group, and the big stone creatures seemed like they could crush the small stone creatures with one foot, this did not happen even once. All the stone creatures seemed to have formed a queue that was most suitable for them and moved forward in an orderly manner.
These stone behemoths did not react excessively to the gigantic pterosaur hovering above them.
They just looked up in unison when the gray light flew over, then lowered their heads again and walked slowly towards the direction of the World Tree.
"Bang... Bang... Ka..."
The stone beasts are extremely heavy. Every step a group of them take will cause the surrounding jungle to tremble and even break the surrounding trees.
However, these giant beasts did not have the intention to attack or negotiate as Xu Xin had imagined.
They seem to have only one goal, which is to go to the World Tree.
Xu Xin turned on his mind-reading mode, but strangely, his mind-reading ability could not read these petrified beasts.
… Why
First of all, we have to rule out the possibility that these petrified behemoths have experienced time travel.
This is basically impossible.
That leaves only two possibilities. One is that petrified creatures are no longer within his mind-reading range. The other is...
These petrified creatures now have no hearts or brains!
They are most likely a group of... completely controlled puppets!
Xu Xin immediately became alert.
"Fly higher, Huihui!"
Huihui's flying altitude was decreasing, and Xu Xin immediately gave instructions.
Now Huihui's flying altitude is less than 40 meters.
A height of forty meters may not sound low, but you have to know that each of these behemoths is close to or even more than twenty meters tall.
At this height, maybe some of them can reach it by jumping!
Although these stone beasts don't seem to have any intention of attacking, we can't be so careless!
What if one of them suddenly gets the urge to pick you up and give you a claw
Upon hearing this, Huihui immediately cried out "Ah!", then flapped his wings, increasing his flying altitude to about a hundred meters, and then hovered above the herd of giant beasts.
"Hmm...?"
Coco grabbed Xu Xin's clothes with her little paws, stretched her little head out, and looked at the group of stone beasts below.
"Coco, do you think the group of giant stone statues below are dangerous?" Xu Xin looked at the group of stone statues below, pinched Coco's ears and asked.
"Bing." Coco shook her little head, then stretched out her little paw and pointed downwards, "Bing!"
"You said you wanted to go down?" Xu Xin refused immediately, "No, it's too dangerous."
"Oh! Oh!" Coco waved her little paws.
"Those giant beasts won't attack us?" Xu Xin looked at the group of giant beasts below again.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her head.
"Yeah… "
Xu Xin continued to pay attention to the area below. Among the group of stone statues below, no one raised their heads to look at the extremely conspicuous Huihui flying in circles in the air.
It seems... they really won't attack them.
Xu Xin remembered that in Ji Chaoyang's prophecy, he saw the existence of the long seal.
If his guess was correct, the one controlling these behemoths now should be Chang Yin.
but…
He just looked around and couldn't seem to find it anywhere...
However, it is also possible that there are too many stone beasts in these statues, and their sizes are different. It is too difficult to find a human-sized creature among them, so he did not find one.
Damn it, I should have gone to his tree house and slept for three hours before coming out, and got a random amplification!
If his vision was enhanced, he might be able to discover it.
"嘤!" Coco was still pulling Xu Xin's sleeve, meaning for him to get off.
"It's impossible to go down, but we can go lower. Huihui, lower yourself a little. Um... If they don't intend to attack, try to fly close to them."
"ah-"
Huihui let out a cry, then dived down at an extremely fast speed!
"Slow down..."
Xu Xin was speechless due to the strong wind and the strong sense of weightlessness.
Coco nestled in his arms, holding on tightly with her little paws.
Huihui swooped down at a very fast speed, then glided for a distance at a very fast speed close to the group of giant beasts, climbed up about ten meters again, and began to hover at this height.
Huihui's action just now could be considered a provocation, but despite this, those giant stone beasts did not even raise their heads, but walked towards the direction of the World Tree step by step and steadily.
Being closer to the ground, Xu Xin could better feel the vibration caused by the walking of these giant stone beasts.
"Bang... Bang... Kaka..."
Large tracts of trees fell down. Even if the row of giant beasts in the front did not push down all the trees, there were still petrified giant beasts coming one after another from the back, crushing the trees pushed down by the giant beasts in the front and pushing down the trees that were not pushed down.
A group of giant beasts are like ruthless steamrollers, flattening everything they go.
Xu Xin looked at where they passed behind him, and saw a long, straight, flattened road appear behind them, extending far away.
Where do they come from
… No, that's not important right now.
Xu Xin looked at the herd of animals again and asked Huihui to hover over this huge group of stone statues.
Still no findings.
He even tried to shout: "Changyin? Are you there?"
But his voice seemed insignificant amid the sound of countless giant beasts' footsteps and trees being knocked down and crushed.
No…
This shouldn't be the case. Obviously, Ji Chaoyang did see the long seal in his prophecy.
That means he didn't find it.
However, if it was Chang Yin, he would not remain indifferent when seeing such a huge pterosaur flying in the sky, right
"Coco, did you find the long seal there?"
Xu Xin pondered to no avail, so he asked about cocoa, which always worked wonders.
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head.
“I didn’t find it…” Xu Xin sighed.
Maybe he should go back, as it seemed he couldn't discover anything else here.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Coco waved her little paws when she heard that.
"… You said you knew where the long seal was?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
"Bing!"
Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and climbed up Huihui's neck to its head.
"ah?"
“Boo! Boo… Boo!”
Coco whimpered a few times.
"ah!"
Huihui immediately turned in the air and flew towards the center of the entire formation of stone creatures.
"Oh oh!" Coco grabbed the bulge on Huihui's head tightly. After Huihui finished turning around, she crawled along Huihui's neck towards Xu Xin at an extremely fast speed, and then dived into Xu Xin's arms.
"Are you still afraid of heights, little guy?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Coco cried out in a muffled voice.
At this time, Huihui was already hovering in the center of the team.
"Is the long seal just below?"
"Bing!"
Xu Xin immediately looked down and began to search carefully.
The distance between each stone beast is very close to other beasts. The distance between a huge body that is 20 meters high and 30 to 40 meters long is only 4 or 5 meters.
And in these gaps, there is a group of giant insects that are three or four meters long and two meters high.
They are also crawling leisurely, filling the gaps.
Even so, these giant beasts would not step on their bodies in every step. Xu Xin was amazed by the marching team that ran as seamlessly as mechanical gears.
It seems that these giant beasts really do not have their own consciousness now, and are just being controlled to move forward. If any one of them has its own consciousness and wants to sit on something else, the team will be trampled.
Hmm... Let's find the long seal first.
Xu Xin immediately began searching in the gaps in the central area.
The giant insects and beasts crowded together are really dazzling.
"Huh? That's...!"
Xu Xin suddenly discovered that there was a stone man sitting on the back of a giant insect!
The stone human was riding on the insect's back like a horse, and was seamlessly integrated with the insect. The whole thing looked like a statue carved out of a single huge stone.
Isn’t that a long seal
Found it!
Sure enough, he is here!
"Huihui, if there is anything unusual, fly up immediately." Xu Xin reminded the pterosaur under him.
I didn’t see Xue and Xiaohong, so Changyin is not necessarily a friendly one.
"Yeah." Huihui responded.
Xu Xin nodded, and then shouted to the bottom: "Chang Yin! It's me! Xu Xin!"
At this time, he was very close to Chang Yin, only about thirty meters away. Even if the surrounding environment was noisy, the other party should be able to hear it.
But what was strange was that Chang Yin did not react and still sat on the giant insect motionless.
"Strange..." Xu Xin frowned slightly, then shouted again, "Chang Yin! Can you hear me? Chang Yin!"
There was still no reaction, as if he had become a real stone statue.
Could it be that he, like these stone statues, has lost his own consciousness
This is troublesome...
Xu Xin originally thought that these stone statues were controlled by the long seal, but now it seems...
Seems not
Is Changyin also one of those being controlled
“Hmm…” Coco tilted her little head and looked down.
"What's going on..."
Xu Xin thought for a moment, then looked at Keke: "Keke, you just said that it's okay for us to go down, right?"
"Hmm!" Coco hummed with certainty.
"Why are you so sure?" Xu Xin pulled Coco back and looked at it.
"Hmm?" Coco wagged her big tail, looking innocent.
The little guy started acting stupid again.
Xu Xin sighed: "Then I will believe you, you jump with me."
"Hmm? Hmm..." Keke shrank his head, then crawled into Xu Xin's arms, grabbing his body with all four paws, and even wrapped his tail around him, "Hmm!"
"You are really afraid of heights." Xu Xin smiled, then said to Huihui, "Huihui, lower to the lowest height!"
"Ah—" Huihui flew directly close to the herd of beasts.
But its body is too large, and it needs a certain speed to maintain its flight in the air.
It can't hover, so it can only hover over a general location.
“… It was too fast to jump.”
At this speed, if I jump down, I will probably be thrown out and die.
Xu Xin looked at the giant stone beast in front of him and touched his chin: "Huihui, try to land on the beast."
Although Huihui looks even bigger when his wings are spread, he is not that big when his wings are folded.
With a height of four or five meters and very thin, it is just a tiny creature in front of these giant beasts.
Coupled with the light weight that is unique to flying creatures, it is entirely possible for Huihui to stand on the backs of these stone giants.
The giant beasts below had no reaction to them at all. Perhaps it was really possible...
"Coco, that should be okay, right?"
"Bing!"
"Gray, land."
"ah!"
Huihui circled again, found the right position, folded its wings, and landed very lightly on the back of a giant stone beast.
The giant beast showed no reaction and was already moving slowly towards the World Tree.
Can!
"Huihui, you wait for us here." Xu Xin rolled off Huihui's body, and took Coco with him, looking at Changyin who was riding on the back of the giant insect below.
Xu Xin took a deep breath, grabbed the petrified hair grooves on the stone beast, and began to climb down.
But Coco was no longer afraid of heights, and no longer held on to Xu Xin. Instead, she followed him and climbed down along the grooves of hair on the stone statue.
The giant stone beast moved very steadily, without much bumps. The man and the little panda climbed down a distance smoothly, then found the right moment to leap back and jumped onto the giant insect.
Although the giant insect was just a "little guy" in the gap between the two giant beasts, it was still very big for humans, as big as a car, so Xu Xin easily gained a foothold.
Then he walked behind Chang Yin who was sitting on the giant insect, stretched out his hand, and patted his shoulder from behind: "Chang Yin."
As a result, Chang Yin still did not respond.
Xu Xin walked around to his front and looked at him.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed with a calm expression, as if he was asleep.
His body seemed to be engraved with the giant insect beneath him, and even if Xu Xin pushed hard, he could not shake it at all.
“嘤…” Coco stood in front of Changyin, raised her little paws, jumped up and scratched his face.
Nothing happens.
Xu Xin stroked his chin and thought.
What’s going on…
The group of stone statues at this moment, including Chang Yin, seemed like a group of... machines that had been programmed to run automatically, without anyone controlling them. They were just running on their own.
I always feel...
Very weird.
It wouldn't be long before this group of stone creatures would get close to the World Tree. He went straight into the group of stone creatures to investigate, but apart from discovering this very strange situation, he didn't know what else to do.
"… Let's go back first. Staying outside the World Tree is a waste of time."
He looked up at the beast's back.
The gap between the giant beasts was too small, and Huihui couldn't spread his wings, so he couldn't come down to pick him up.
He and Coco could only climb up again.
Fortunately, the giant beast's legs moved back and forth almost brushing against the giant insect's body.
With every step, the giant beast's thick and long legs would pass forward beside it, and then fall behind as the beast crawled, repeating this cycle over and over again.
Xu Xin took one last look at Changyin, then grabbed Coco, and while the giant insect was crawling over the giant beast's legs, he jumped up and grabbed the petrified hair on the giant beast's thick and long legs.
As soon as it had a firm grip, the beast's legs took a step forward.
"oh!"
"Bing!"
Xu Xin felt as if he was playing on the pendulum or pirate ship in an amusement park.
It's quite exciting.
Taking advantage of the fact that the giant beast's leg stopped moving temporarily, he quickly climbed up.
As he crawled, the beast's legs moved forward a few more steps.
Fortunately, the higher he climbed, the smaller the amplitude he could feel, and the more stable it became.
Finally, he safely climbed to the side of the giant beast's body, and then climbed onto its back in a few steps.
"Bing!"
Coco was much faster than him and had already been waiting for him on the back of the giant beast.
Grabbing Keke, Xu Xin climbed onto Huihui, who had been lying on the ground waiting for him to climb on top, and said, "Come on, Huihui, let's go back!"
"Ah--" Huihui pushed the petrified beast's back with his forelimbs, catapulted into the air, and glided towards the World Tree.
…
"Hey! Is that a pterosaur?"
Lou Feier, who had just walked out of the teleportation formation and was about to use the coordinates to teleport back to the World Tree, exclaimed.
Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue also turned to look.
I saw a pterosaur flying towards the World Tree at a very fast speed from a distance.
"That's... Huihui?" Shi Wanyun was slightly stunned, "Why is Huihui outside?"
"The pterosaur hatched from that giant egg? It's so big now." Jin Yue said with a little surprise.
“… Wait a minute, there’s a person sitting on its back, that’s… ah!”
Suddenly, a laser-like attack shot out from the jungle, streaking a beam of light in the air, and like lightning, it instantly hit the pterosaur's wings, directly creating a hole with a diameter of more than one meter on the wing!
Blood was spilled instantly!
"ah-!"
Huihui let out a scream and spun around before crashing into the Crystal City!
When it was about to land, it forced its body to balance, slowing down its rotation speed, and then...
"Bang!
”
A large cloud of dust rose in the Crystal City.
"Hey... the person on the pterosaur's back just now seemed to be Xu Xin..." Lou Feier murmured.
“…Yes.” Shi Wanyun focused her gaze with a dazed look and nodded.
Jin Yue kicked his feet and leaped into the dust.
Lou Feier followed closely and dived into the dust.
"That light just now... was it that man?" Shi Wanyun glanced outside the city, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then followed him.
