Chapter 497 Investigation

The virtual planet, according to the introduction information, refers to the planet that has a special connection with the virtual realm.

Wang Zhifan only knew about this kind of planet from the introduction. Even in the copy of it, he only heard a few NPCs mention this extremely unfamiliar term, and did not get more detailed information.

At this moment, he was ready for battle and had obtained the authority to reach this mysterious planet that was not safe in the introduction.

When he held the Azure Emperor Sword and looked around with all his concentration, he found that he had entered a very strange world.

There seemed to be no earth under his feet, only lavender "clouds" that people could walk on. The clouds were mixed with many large and small black stones, as well as some things that were obviously the creation of civilization, such as surface engravings. Metal fragments with neat patterns, a putrid mixture that may be part of the corpse of some kind of creature.

Around, below and above him, this scene extends infinitely, with almost invisible but qualitative purple "clouds" floating everywhere, dividing the overall space into many parts with different levels but interconnected.

Various stones, debris, unknown debris, and whirlwinds mixed together in the clouds and mist, forming a very strange picture.

"Is this a planet? I don't see any features that a planet should have."

For a moment, Wang Zhifan felt confused. He had been to many different worlds, but he had never set foot in such a strange place.

Looking around, there is no earth, no atmosphere, no sun, no moon, no stars, only endless lavender clouds and mist, and various debris looming in the clouds.

With some curiosity, he stepped forward, walked over the purple cloud where he was, and came to its edge.

Then he raised his feet and stepped forward, and found that he did not fall downwards, but automatically flew upward to the left. In the blink of an eye, he stepped on another purple cloud in an inverted posture.

This feeling was very strange. He clearly felt that the gravity was pointing downwards just now, but after taking a few steps, the direction of gravity deflected by nearly 180 degrees.

Feeling confused, he immediately tried to get out of the current cloud and mist, and soon confirmed for himself that the gravity of this world was chaotic. Each cloud and mist had its own direction of gravity. Once he left it, it was difficult to know in advance what posture he would take. Where to fall.

"It's such a weird world... Let's try to find the surprise mentioned in the introduction first."

After initially understanding the local characteristics, Wang Zhifan gradually accelerated his pace and began to travel in this empty and unreal world.

At the beginning, he would explore the connecting routes of various clouds and mists, and then directly activate the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique to travel everywhere according to his own will.

During this period, he saw a lot of lifeless stones that were definitely not treasures, an unidentified spaceship that was split in two like a giant metal tree, a body of a suspected alien that was very skinny but wearing a huge helmet, and something like a miniature tornado that was wandering around. Purple airflow.

He didn't find anything that he considered a treasure, and he didn't encounter any real danger.

"The introduction said that some virtual planets will sink into the virtual realm. Maybe where I am now is the virtual realm."

After some exploration, Wang Zhifan came up with this judgment in his mind to explain why he could not find the characteristics of ordinary planets until now.

Then he speeded up and traveled again for a while, and finally found a place that made his eyes shine before he lost the novelty and wanted to exit the world.

It was a huge rock in a "suspended" state without any purple clouds around it, or it could also be called an island.

At first glance, there was nothing on the island except bare stones, but Wang Zhifan's perception was strong enough and he keenly discovered that the island was hollow inside, with a wide space containing artificial traces hidden inside.

"Is this a strange spaceship? Or is it a secret alien warehouse?"

Wang Zhifan suddenly came to the conclusion that in a technologically oriented world, his imagination could only extend so far.

Since there were no purple clouds around the island as a springboard, Wang Zhifan directly launched Qinggong and rushed over.

His level of Wind and Thunder Sky Stepping Technique is not low, and combined with his basic cultivation that far exceeds the standard, he can easily cross the void.

So a few seconds later, he arrived more than ten meters away from the surface of the island, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed danger and stopped in the void.

"Something was watching me, warning me to stay away from the island."

Although he was not sure where the enemy was hiding, Wang Zhifan was extremely certain of this. This came from the intuition generated by long-term battles, and it was also a vague message that the other party wanted to convey to him.

"If you don't let me pass...then I'll try your quality."

Without hesitation, Wang Zhifan first quickly retreated to distance himself, and then used his old tricks to release several Mengwo clones to go to the island from different directions to test.

As the clones continued to approach, he soon received the same feedback from the clones. An unknown existence was warning them not to approach.

And when the clones were finally less than one meter away from the island, he suddenly felt that the clones had suffered a powerful invisible attack, and were squeezed into small dots in the blink of an eye, turning into nothingness in the space.

"It's interesting...my clone is obviously a spiritual body and is immune to ordinary physical squeezes, but it was instantly compressed to the point of collapse. The strength of this enemy cannot be underestimated."

The result of the test made Wang Zhifan realize that it was not easy to set foot on the island. If he went up, there would inevitably be a fight. The outcome of the fight was hard to predict. He would most likely win, but he would probably pay some price.

"There is no need to step into unknown dangers just to satisfy a little curiosity. At least you have to find out what benefits you can get before you start... remember this location first."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan chose to retreat. The main risk and benefits were not equal. The enemy's strength was definitely not weak, but the benefits were likely to be zero. He didn't need to cause trouble for himself.

This episode made him understand that what was said in the introduction was right. This world was dangerous and also hid some secrets. It had a high exploration value.

Then he wandered around the nearby area for a while and found that there were slightly more purple whirlwinds and floating islands from this side.

Especially the whirlwinds composed of purple mist. Wang Zhifan didn't know their nature very well, but it was definitely a dangerous factor.

In other words, Wang Zhifan's survival and defense abilities were strong enough, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to the troubles they caused. Otherwise, ordinary people would be torn to pieces as long as they approached them.

After searching hard for a while, Wang Zhifan found the second target that caught his attention.

It was a huge spaceship that was slowly moving in the purple mist. Its overall length exceeded a kilometer, like a huge beast.

The cylindrical silver-gray metal shell, with its rough and barbaric style and many high-tech embellishments of fire jets, made it look impressive.

Wang Zhifan sensed that there were many living creatures in the spaceship, so he entered the invisible state and slowly approached. When he found that the creatures in the spaceship did not find him, he used the wall-penetrating ability of the Shadow Shoes to penetrate into it invisibly. The process was strangely smooth.

The space in the spaceship was of different sizes and was connected by passages in all directions. Several strange and ugly creatures were active in it.

There were tentacle creatures that looked like a mixture of cooked noodles, short and stocky potato-like creatures with pointed horns on their heads, and pot-shaped creatures that might be mutated morning glories, which made him see how curious and casual aliens could be.

He remained invisible and visited the interior of the spacecraft, ready to be discovered and besieged at any time, but what made him speechless was that these aliens, whose technological level should be not low, had not noticed that there were guests in their territory, and no one noticed him at all.

So Wang Zhifan became more and more bold, and he searched all the way to the cockpit or conference room of this huge spacecraft, which might be the cockpit or conference room of this huge spacecraft. In the space full of various strange instruments, he saw an alien with a pointed potato showing something to other aliens.

The potato alien, who should be of high status, used the instrument to project a stone slab with a depression in the middle, and talked for several minutes without stopping, and then projected something like a map, talked for a longer time, and pointed on the map from time to time, projected the depressed stone slab again, and was anxious or excited.

Wang Zhifan could not understand their language, and he was not even sure whether the monotonous noise they made was really a language, but the way of expression of intelligent life was the same, and he gradually saw something.

"The map they showed must be about this virtual world. I can even distinguish the area I just visited on it...

From what they said, they should be looking for something here, that is, the stone slab with a depression in the middle...

This stone slab is very important to them, so they feel impatient..."

After analyzing the aliens' intention to come here, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel curious. What is the charm of the concave stone slab that looks ordinary and rough in the projection, which can make such a group of people insist on searching in a dangerous place.

The reason for saying danger is that Wang Zhifan can sense that the aliens are relatively weak, much weaker than ordinary earthlings.

The technology has not reached the level of magic. Once they encounter danger in the surrounding area, such as encountering a large purple whirlwind, they will most likely overturn, not to mention other hidden dangerous factors.

The fact is indeed the same as Wang Zhifan thought. Just when he was about to continue watching them have a meeting, he suddenly sensed a terrifying existence on the side of the spaceship, attacking the spaceship at high speed.

In order to avoid danger, he immediately left the spaceship and returned to the outside environment. He saw that it was a strange giant beast flying from the vast purple mist, approaching the alien spaceship with hostility.

The giant beast was not made of flesh and blood, nor was it made of steel or stone, but was closer to some kind of energy creature.

It looked like a purple moth with many long and thin hairs on its body. It was a hundred meters long and looked weird and creepy. With a flutter, it rushed to a distance of a thousand meters from the alien spaceship.

The alien spaceship was obviously very afraid of this existence, and immediately began to speed up and escape, fearing that it would be hit by the weird big moth, and did not even use the means of attack and expulsion.

But just when Wang Zhifan saw the spaceship running farther and farther and thought they were safe, he found that the hundred-meter-long purple moth suddenly appeared in front of their route and collided with them fiercely.

In an instant, the outer shell of the kilometer-long alien spaceship was shattered, but the 100-meter-long purple moth appeared to be unscathed and entered the spaceship through the gap. The spaceship was then broken from the inside by the moth and turned into debris floating in the vast purple mist.

"How did that huge moth-like monster suddenly appear in front of the spaceship? It was clearly hanging behind it a moment ago."

Wang Zhifan, who saw the whole incident, couldn't help but fall into thinking. He suspected that the moth had mastered the ability of space, but the strange thing was that he didn't sense any spatial fluctuations just now, which didn't match his understanding of spatial power.

Curious, he couldn't help but want to get closer to observe the purple giant moth, but on the way of stealth approach, he suddenly found that the moth and the alien spaceship that it had broken suddenly disappeared. The place where they were originally located became empty, and only the purple cloud was moving slowly.

Such a scene made Wang Zhifan feel even more confused. He stayed there and pondered for a while without finding anything and planned to leave.

But before leaving, another spaceship suddenly appeared in his sight, a spaceship that was slowly coming from a far distance.

The spaceship was a silver-gray cylindrical shape with a unique sense of ruggedness, which made Wang Zhifan realize that it was almost the same as the spaceship that disappeared before.

However, the next second, his mind was shocked and he judged that the other party did not look like the spaceship that disappeared before, but was exactly the same, but it was not damaged and had been restored to a perfect state.

"What the hell? How can the ship be restored directly after being destroyed and everyone on board died? Where's that big purple moth?"

Wang Zhifan, full of doubts, chose to get closer to observe. Soon he sensed that the moth that had previously entered the spacecraft was gone, and the various aliens inside were in normal working conditions, just like what he had seen before.

This kind of thing that seemed like seeing a ghost in broad daylight made him completely incomprehensible, and curiosity drove him to sneak in again to confirm it.

But before going in, he subconsciously looked in another direction, and then found that in that direction, a small purple dot was moving, heading towards the direction where the spacecraft was moving.

"Is that the purple moth from before? How did it suddenly run so far?

No! All this seems to be a replay, a replay of the previous collision event!"

Even though he had not witnessed the second collision between the moth and the spacecraft, Wang Zhifan had a strong intuition in his heart, realizing that what was happening in front of him was very unusual. It seemed to be an accident, but it was inevitable that it would be repeated. (End of this chapter)
