Chapter 1419: Wild Beasts, and...familiar Things!

At first, I thought that this Gemini teleportation station was just a simple teleportation facility, just like the teleportation gates made by the mysterious civilization I had seen before. It could be used with a few simple operations after starting it, but I didn’t expect this thing. There is actually a user operating system and a welcome interface - it can only be said that the civilization of this world in the last season has at least achieved great results in the construction of spiritual civilization, and the specific manifestation is their "programmers" (perhaps they should be called rune masters here) ?) Basically shameless. (Baidu Search Literature Museum)

Zoya had no idea how many people around her were listening to the broadcast in the square. She just touched the runes on the control stick attentively and carefully, and said to herself: "It's thanks to this thousand There are human limitations, otherwise the out-of-control polluters will all come out at once and it will not be something that people on the ground can stop."

I quickly exchanged glances with the others: Defiler, are you talking about the Dark Moon Demon?

But there is no time to think about this problem now. Zoya has fully activated the system, and a new broadcast sounds in the square: "You have set up a small-scale transmission. The transmission station will automatically shut down one minute after the completion of this transmission. Please leave the control area. , stand anywhere in the square, and the system will track your body's reaction and complete the transmission."

It seemed that this dragon girl didn't want more people to know about the activation of the Gemini Teleport Station, but she certainly didn't expect how many people were watching her actions. She left the area full of consoles and stood outside a circle of yellow lines on the ground. I noticed that using this yellow circle that appeared at an unknown time as a boundary, the energy field around the console was becoming asynchronous with the energy field in the square, so I quickly pulled others out to avoid affecting the normal operation of the site.

A slight buzzing sound accompanied by the breeze swept across the square, and the figure of Dragon Girl Zoya suddenly disappeared in a distorted curtain of light.

"Oh, it seems to be working." Bingtis stepped forward and patted the control stick that Zoya had just replaced, "But she left this thing behind, was she careless?"

Lin Xue waved her hand: "Without this control rod, the teleportation station cannot be started. She can only keep this. After a while, the old pope will send someone to recover this thing. Let's not waste time and follow up quickly."

With that said, the eldest lady stepped forward and learned from Zoya's method to activate the ancient equipment. In fact, we can use a simpler method to teleport directly to the moon, but it is obviously more interesting to try this weird and tall teleportation station. This teleportation station seems to be a public facility open to the public, and its teleportation function is open to anyone who can activate the console. Lin Xue's hand touched the control stick, and the welcome interface of the teleportation station immediately appeared again: "Verify user - no username mode, enable basic functions. The control core of the Gemini teleportation station is activated, and the magic network power supply is insufficient... Corrected. The Gemini Teleport Station welcomes new users, you are currently restricted..."

Bingtis looked at the console. His face was covered with ice and frost: "Haha, shut up."

Of course, the control system that relied on the established program could not understand human speech, but the goddess's language power immediately took effect, cutting off the broadcast that summed up "Hello, dear user, I am your father." Lin Xue relied on her precognition ability and instant translation to easily set the transmission parameters, and finally snapped her fingers: "Done. Let's go to the platform."

The square also started broadcasting again: "You have set up a small-scale teleportation and logged in multiple users. The teleportation station will automatically shut down one minute after this transmission. Please leave the control area and stand anywhere in the square. The system will track you and other The user's organism responds and the transmission is completed."

The group of people, plus three iron knights who were a little confused throughout the whole process, quickly left the yellow line, the moment the teleportation started. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation swept across my body by an electrostatic field, and then my eyes flashed.

After the slight dizziness ended, I saw that there was still a circular bowl-shaped building in front of me, like the Colosseum. It looked exactly the same as the previous square. It almost makes people think that the teleportation just now has not happened yet. But the sunlight shining into the square is dim and slanted, indicating that the sun is already at a different angle: we are with the earth. Or in other words, on another planet opposite Hesenwood's planet, it happens to be evening here.

This is the dark moon.

I looked up at the sky and found that the air in the dark moon was much turbid than that of its companion star. A turbid and gray tone filled the field of vision. There were no clouds in the sky, because it was so turbid that the clouds could not be distinguished at all. There was only dust and fog in sight, endless dust and fog, as if the entire planet was shrouded in thick fog. The sun weakly penetrated the thick fog and slanted onto the square, and the sun itself became a half-dead spot behind the thick fog. I looked towards the teleportation station wall in the distance. I could easily see there when I was on the ground, but here, I could only see a dark shadow behind the thick fog.

Lin Xue took a deep breath and sighed with emotion: "It smells like the earth."

Qian Qian also opened her mouth and took a deep breath, smacking her lips and sighing: "The taste is almost the same."

Me: "...Stop talking and causing hatred."

The Joseph trio seemed not to adapt to the poor air environment on the Dark Moon. They frowned and covered their mouths and noses. Anna's voice was a bit muffled: "It smells like stone powder from the quarry. It's really uncomfortable."

"Is this the dark moon?" Qiao looked at the surrounding environment in disbelief. Except for the bad air, everything else was similar to the scene just now. It seemed that it was different from the dark moon he imagined. "I thought it would be dark as soon as it came out. We have to fight.”

"What does Dark Moon look like in your imagination?" I asked casually.

Joe shrugged: "At least there is poisonous mist everywhere, there are swamps underfoot, the entire land is covered with poisonous thorns and piranha flowers, and there are wandering demons and ghosts everywhere - that's what I said in this picture album before. .”

Seeing the expressions of deep approval on the faces of Joseph and Anna, I knew that this was probably the unified impression that people on earth had about Dark Moon, and perhaps it was also the result of the old pope's deliberate guidance.

"What's wrong with that dragon girl?" Bingtis put his hands on the awning and looked around. He didn't see Zoya who had teleported over before everyone, so he asked strangely. I thought about it and answered uncertainly: "Maybe I've already gone to find the Blood Princess. Do you still have the Lice Spirit?"

"I originally sent two louse spirits to follow the dragon girl. I don't know why there was no movement at this time." Bingtis said as she lowered her head and looked for something everywhere, and then she suddenly saw a golden light not far ahead. She ran over in a flash, and when she came back she was holding two shining golden balls in her hands, "Damn, these two idiots can't handle this level of teleportation, they're so dizzy. That stupid fox She can lose more things than she can."

I looked at the palm of Bingtis's hand and found that the two small balls of light were indeed rolling around in a daze. They had vague facial features that were very similar to those of the Fox Fairy. Now these two silly faces looked like those on the other side. The fox is exactly the same when he is confused...

Bingtis dug around again. Find the last louse spirit. This louse spirit is still full of energy under the protection of the female gangster. As soon as it comes out, it is full of energy to humiliate its two companions who have fainted.

The female hooligan pointed her finger in the air: "Go find someone, I've told you their appearance and energy characteristics."

The energetic little ball of light made a chirping sound like a wind chime and rushed out.

I looked at this female gangster and wondered how many "drones" she had brought with her when she went out this time. Anyway, she now gives people the impression that she is an aircraft carrier, covered with carrier-based aircraft...

"What should we do next?" Seeing that we seemed to have finished our work, Joe immediately came over and asked. He and the other two iron knights have been completely trapped since they were teleported here, and now they can only listen to my arrangements.

"Just follow us. Anyway, we will definitely let you meet the blood princess in the end, and maybe you can also meet your mother," Bingtis waved his hand. Leading the team towards the exit at the end of the square, "Lice Spirit has already tracked the traces of the dragon girl. Once she finds the Blood Princess, we can teleport directly there. Now let's walk around nearby to understand the situation of this place. .”

"Ahem. Ahem..." Dingdang got his little head out of my pocket, coughing and complaining, "Arjun, where have you been? Why is there suddenly such a smell of dust around? Dingdang is sleeping. I choked and woke up!”

Lin Xue frowned: "This doesn't seem to be an ordinary dust mist. I extended my perception range far away and found that these mist did not sink or dissipate at all. They seemed to be solidified in the atmosphere. These things may have taken hold. how long it has been."

I have been in this world for so many days, and now I have summed up an experience, that is, no matter what suspicious things happen, it is definitely right to directly blame it on the Dark Moon War: the thick fog that is stagnant here must be the first time. What's left after the war. Didn't history say that before the war, Dark Moon and the Earth were two places with the same beautiful scenery and an environmental index of more than a dozen plus signs? After the war, Dark Moon was shrouded in haze. Looking at the moon from the Earth, this The planet is as filthy as a dirty snowball. Now it seems that a large part of the reason for this filthiness comes from the thick fog that will not dissipate.

The trio of Iron Knights didn't pay attention to the thick fog. They all looked at my breast pocket in surprise. Anna couldn't help but take two steps closer: "What is this? How can your brooch still talk?" "

I:"……"

Ding Dong has been regarded as a dragonfly, as a figure, as a mythical beast and as an alchemy doll. Now she has finally faced the most ill-intentioned of the many misunderstandings: Anna actually thinks that Ding Dong with only a small head exposed is a brooch! I don’t know how this somewhat thoughtless red-haired sister came up with this. Anyway, the image of the little thing is becoming more and more colorful. I will have to put the little cub into the book in two days to see if it has her As a bookmark...

Maybe it was because this place was too far away from the divine world, or maybe Anna's association was so out of touch that the divine punishment system didn't respond. Anyway, I waited for a few seconds and didn't see any divine thunder falling from the sky, so I waved to the trio. : "Her name is Dingdang, and she is my friend. Don't ask what race she is. Anyway, it's not a dragonfly, a figure, a mythical beast, or a brooch - you should respect her, this little one is very powerful."

Anna nodded and gave the same explanation as Ron: "Oh, ancient race, right?"

In this terrible world, there are many unexplainable relics from ancient times. They will suddenly appear every now and then to challenge people's outlook on life. Therefore, many people have developed the habit of directly ascribing whatever they see to "this is everything." It's An Yue's fault" habit, and the trio couldn't care about anything else right now, so they didn't ask any questions. I estimate that even if I take out a radio that turns into a robot dog or an Ultraman transformer, they will nod happily and say: This must be something from before the war.

After passing through the deep passage that ran through the entire building at the end of the square, we finally left this ancient building that was unknown how many years ago. Without the obstruction of the outer wall of the teleportation station, the scenery of the dark moon finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

As expected, this is a desolate place. The teleportation station on the other side of Dark Moon was built on a Gobi desert covered with rubble. All that could be seen was the continuous gray-black gravel and gravel, and the ubiquitous gloomy thick fog. This thick fog hindered normal vision. The distance that could be seen with the naked eye was very limited. I saw some black shadows in the thick fog. I didn’t know whether they were distant mountains or nearby mounds. It seemed that I would be on my way later. I still have to use my mental power to detect things - even though I'm not used to that awkward way of "seeing" things.

There is no life in the Gobi Desert. There are only a few yellow weeds in the cracks of the gravel. They stick out of the ground tenaciously to face this bastard weather, looking half-dead.

"Don't tell me that the entire Dark Moon is like this," Qian Qian frowned. There are rare times when she is not interested in a new environment, "The resolution here is too low."

"No, other places are better than here. Didn't we see the sea on the dark moon on the ground?" I chose a direction and said casually as I walked.

Bingtis is letting her louse spirit track the dragon girl. We should have a short period of time to understand the situation of this planet before the latter arrives at the destination. Ding Dong got out of my pocket. She consciously acts as a biological radar, indicating the direction of life reactions for everyone: her power is the only one among us who dares to use it with some confidence and boldness. The power of the goddess of life can be integrated with the local creatures, even if the fallen apostle scans At most, this planet will think that the ecosystem here is expanding. The strength of the remaining few people is different.

After we walked for a while, when we looked back, the teleportation station was completely invisible. Everything disappeared in the thick fog. The only scenery left in the world was a small group of us. There is a small piece of stone beach around where you can clearly see the road ahead, as well as the ubiquitous fog and the almost extinguished sunshine on the horizon. Anna shrank her neck uneasily: "Do you know where to go? Why do I feel like I'm lost?"

"Just shut up and follow." Bingtis didn't look back, "Our 'eyes' are not affected by these thick fogs."

The trio of Iron Knights all yelled, leading their horses and following closely behind.

Bingtis walked side by side with me, analyzing the environment here as he walked: "These stagnant fogs are not a simple magic effect, but a large-scale and long-lasting spell that changes the rules of the planet. The operation method is a bit like a concubine." The spells seen by people on the ground are of extremely high level and should have been lost on the ground. There are residual reactions in the deep layers of the earth that have been affected by magic energy for a long time. The time is about two thousand years ago. This should be the first time. Shortly after the Dark Moon War, I guessed that it might be the power that transformed the planet. The gray-black stones on the Gobi Desert are highly oxidized metal-bearing ores. They should have experienced high temperatures and arcane energy erosion, and time has changed. Two thousand years ago, if you guessed it right, this means that this place was once a battlefield. The last point is somewhat interesting: it seems that after a war ended on the earth, it was fought on the moon for a while, and it was fought around this heaven and earth bridge..."

I still remember the end of a war mentioned in the Goddess Canon: the Goddess came in person, destroyed the original sinners' army and killed the crazy mountain barbarian king with one sword, and then expelled all the original sinners to the dark moon and sealed them. If this history is followed, then the Original Sinners became Dark Moon Demons after they arrived on Dark Moon. After the exile, the war ended, and the planet named "Redmoon" completely became the world of Dark Moon People - then they What to do around the teleport station?

Kill each other? Or was there a coalition of ground troops following closely behind that had no time to evacuate, so they had a fight with the Dark Moon Demons here? I think both are possible.

In short, the facts are different from what is said in the Goddess Canon: the war did not end immediately after the Heaven and Earth Bridge was closed. After the fighting on the ground subsided, another fierce battle was fought near the teleportation station on Anyue's side, causing a The Gobi Desert is still lifeless after two thousand years.

As for what happened here, I'm afraid only the four people back then knew.

My eyes were on Qiao. Elves are a race with a long lifespan, but the lifespan of elves in each world is different. The elves in some worlds are almost immortal, but the elves in this world are not yet at this level: they are also It's just a mortal race with a longer lifespan than humans. Therefore, Qiao's mother's generation still knew some of the secrets of the past, but they stopped abruptly before they could be passed on to his generation.

There was a sound of rolling sand and stones, and Joe's ears suddenly twitched, and the next second he drew his sword out of its sheath. He held the weapon and bowed low, with muscles all over his body jumping up and down, and a nervous look on his face: "I It feels like there’s something around me!”

Joseph and Anna also unsheathed their swords and stood in a triangle facing the front. The three senior knights already felt that something malicious was approaching here. Of course we felt it earlier, but there was no threat from the visitors. Bingtis didn't even have the interest to raise her eyelids, only showing a faint look of curiosity: she was curious about everything.

Accompanied by the sound of rolling sand and gravel and the sound of heavy footsteps, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared from behind the low hill in front: it was a beast as powerful as a tank!

That thing was at least twice as big as the giant furbolg we saw in the pine forest. It had thick and powerful limbs and a torso covered with horny armor. It looked like a mutated armored black lion, with armor on its neck. Long manes stretched out from under the piece, swaying slowly in the breeze. This giant beast was obviously coming towards our group. As soon as it appeared, it lowered its body in this direction and made a leaping posture. Its golden-red eyes showed strong killing intent and desire to attack - if If it's true, it should still have some appetite, especially after seeing the fat Joseph.

The trio of Iron Knights all took a breath of air, but no one stepped back. Instead, they neatly grasped their weapons. However, the attention of the few of us was on other places——

Bingtis looked at the beast intently, and suddenly whispered: "Do you feel it? The tame abyss has the same reaction as the abyss on Sandora. It can be felt at a close distance, but it is completely invisible when it is far away, and It’s not polluting at all—damn, there’s this kind of thing on Dark Moon!”
