Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

A canyon, a mountain, and constant winds.

Above the pitch-black sky, two dim, almost undetectable lights flashed across the sky like shooting stars...

...and slid back like a meteor.

"call……"

The biting wind seemed to be flowing only between the canyons below, without affecting Xiao Jian flying in the sky at all.

With the blessing of the [Destroyed] characteristic, Xiao Jian's eyes have carefully observed this Gale Canyon from beginning to end countless times, but he did not find any trace of the existence of intelligent creatures here.

All topography and landforms are completely original and seem to remain the same as they were at the time they were first formed.

At least that's what Xiao Jian thought at first.

It wasn't until he lowered his height and stood on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon that he realized that this place had experienced countless years of weathering and encroachment.

The strong wind kept scraping the obsidian rock wall all the time, not only rubbing the rock wall extremely smooth, but also carving traces of airflow on the rock wall with the pure wind force.

It can be observed that there are obvious traces of layering on the rock wall, just like a geological profile.

The difference is that geological profiles will show different colors and mineral compositions in rock formations formed at different times.

However, these rock walls are composed entirely of a single obsidian, and the layered traces on those "profiles" are actually erosion traces left by laminar flows of different speeds in the strong winds in the canyon.

If you look more carefully, you can even see the finer traces left by the turbulence and vortices between laminar flows on the rock wall.

It's hard to imagine how long it took for this canyon to be carefully carved by the strong winds to form such a simple, repetitive yet shocking and unique landscape.

After searching at close range, Xiao Jian still didn't see any traces of biological activity.

However, he did find that the wind in the canyon was a bit strange:

It exists only within the canyon and has no beginning or end.

Even if you stand on the edge of the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, you still can't feel any air flow, but as long as you put your hand slightly into the canyon, you will immediately feel the huge air flow.

The entire canyon is like a huge wind tunnel bounded by invisible walls...

However, Xiao Jian did not feel a "wall" in any sense, but this obvious dividing layer really existed.

This in itself violates the laws of physics... and what is even more strange is that this wind comes for no reason, it is inexplicably generated at the mouth of the canyon, and then disappears inexplicably at the end of the canyon.

After exploring the entire Gale Canyon, Xiao Jian's doubts deepened.

Such a "wonder" that violates the rules of physics is obviously inseparable from the characteristics mentioned by Xiao Jian and the authority mentioned by the monster.

But the problem is, whether you call it a characteristic or an authority, it should be attached to life!

Could it be...a relic?

Xiao Jian's eyes looked at the mountain peak next to it - that is, the handle of what seemed to be a giant axe.

If there's any inanimate object that can perform wonders that defy the laws of physics, it's a relic.

Although generally speaking, relics require intelligent life to activate them, Xiao Jian has never seen relics themselves affect the environment...

However, if this unimaginably large ax is really a relic, then it is not completely impossible for it to cause such a large-scale phenomenon in the world.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian spread his wings and flew directly towards the mountain peak.

As he flew closer and closer, the doubts in Xiao Jian's heart became more and more serious... Until he landed on the top of the mountain, Xiao Jian even began to wonder if this was really an ax?

Because the entire mountain peak is made of obsidian!

That's right, it's the kind of ordinary, ubiquitous, same kind as anywhere else on the Blackstone Mountains... obsidian.

Such a huge obsidian peak, if this was really an axe, there is no doubt that it would fall apart during the chopping process.

The toughness and strength of obsidian can barely maintain the general shape of the axe, but it cannot withstand any swings at all...

After all, such a "slim" ax handle cannot withstand the huge shear force of tens of millions of tons caused by swinging the axe.

unless……

...This obsidian is just a shell.

Xiao Jian jumped down from the top of the mountain, took out a blank resource card in mid-air, and pointed it directly at the center of the "axe handle" to collect it.

This "axe handle" mountain peak is not thick. Xiao Jian only spent tens of thousands of sunlight points to cut this huge mountain peak in half.

"Boom... boom, rumble..."

The peak of the ax handle, which had been standing for an unknown length of time, first slid down diagonally, then slowly tilted... lay flat... and finally crashed onto the ground.

The tens of millions of tons of obsidian peaks collided violently with the obsidian ground made of the same material.

The earth trembled and the wind roared.

Sharp debris flew around like shrapnel, flying far into the depths of darkness...

Farther away, there seemed to be some sharp chirping sounds.

Maybe some monsters were disturbed by the strange movement in the world, but the brief sharp roar quickly disappeared... I don't know if they died or fled for their lives.

The strong wind rising from the ground rose into the sky, making Xiao Jian's clothes rustle, and his hair swayed from side to side like waterweed in the strong wind...

However, Xiao Jian didn't pay any attention to the huge sound on the ground, and just fell on the smooth, mirror-like surface of the "axe handle peak".

"Tsk..."

Looking at the smooth ground under his feet, Xiao Jian's idea came to nothing.

This "axe handle peak" does not have any structure such as reinforcing ribs, nor is it just a layer of "merry" wrapping structure as imagined.

This is simple obsidian, all over the body!

Did I guess wrong?

This is not a relic at all, nor is it a relic of the so-called "ancient one"?

Xiao Jian did not believe in evil, so he flew to the ax blade part of the "Axe Mountain" again, and once again used the blank resource card to open a huge section here.

The result remains the same.

All signs indicate that this is really just an ordinary obsidian mountain with nothing magical about it.

It's just that its shape is special...

"……well."

Xiao Jian sighed and was about to leave when he suddenly realized something was wrong - where was the wind? What about the howling, non-stop sound of the wind?

Suddenly he turned around and looked into the canyon of the violent wind, and saw that the violent wind that existed in the canyon and had no beginning or end... unexpectedly stopped at some point!

Was it when the ax handle was cut open?

Or when cutting the ax blade?

Xiao Jian recalled it carefully and found that it should be the latter.

When the ax handle was cut off, although it caused a loud noise and dust, it did not have much impact on the Gale Canyon.

So, is it because of the latter?

Xiao Jian returned to the ax blade he had cut open... Unfortunately, it was still just ordinary obsidian.

It has no attributes or characteristics, and no "instruction manual" similar to a relic will pop up when you touch it.

After Xiao Jian repeatedly confirmed, this is really an ordinary obsidian.

but why? !

Did I just do something else?

Xiao Jian recalled everything that had just happened, but after thinking about all the details, he didn't find anything strange.

In the end, Xiao Jian simply cut another knife along the bottom of the ax blade, directly tearing the entire giant ax wonder to pieces... Unfortunately, except for the full obsidian resource card, Xiao Jian gained nothing.

"Strange……"

After confirming again, Xiao Jian flew back to the bottom of the Gale Canyon and explored the inside of the "wind tunnel" that was originally filled with strong winds, but still found nothing else.

It was as if this was just a small puddle, and the water ran away after being stepped on randomly... nothing more.

I wonder if a few years from now, an Aboriginal adventurer will write a shocking novel called "After the Windy Canyon Disappears."

Calculating that time was almost up, Xiao Jian walked around in a large circle again, and after confirming that there were no traces of tribal life, he flew back to Saintess' Peak with full of doubts.

…

It's still the same entrance as before, and it's still guarded by the long-nosed elephant man.

But this time the Elephant Man did not charge Xiao Jian the city entry tax, but respectfully led him to an upward cave.

"This is it?" Xiao Jian asked.

"The blind mother-in-law is waiting for you up there..." The tall elephant man guard lowered his head and said rather humbly.

"Oh." As Xiao Jian climbed up the stairs, he also had some doubts in his heart - he didn't see this cave leading to the peak when he came last time!

Could it be that some method was used to hide the entrance before?

"Great Eye of Flame, you are finally here."

Just as Xiao Jian was thinking, a female voice suddenly came to his ears.

Xiao Jian turned around without any surprise. Sure enough, the blind mother-in-law... oh no, the blind saint had appeared behind him.

This ability to appear quietly behind others is quite suitable for being an assassin...

At this time, the blind saint has changed her costume.

The upper body is wearing a white dress made of some unknown material. The cut lines are simple and elegant, and the wrapping is very tight. Only a window is left in the middle, and the deep ravine in the canyon can be seen.

The lower body is also a very conservative and tightly wrapped long white dress, but the problem is that the dress has a slit in the middle, and after landing, it converges into a fishtail shape behind...

The overall feeling is like a heavy tank with extremely thick armor, but the commander above and the driver below are exposed...

This situation made Xiao Jian's fingers move slightly - he now wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a few pictures, and then go over to ask for a group photo.

"Does it look good?" The blind saint smiled slightly, picked up the hem of her skirt and turned it around gracefully.

The pilot, who originally only leaned out half of his body, was now fully exposed. Even the cockpit was half-covered and Xiao Jian could almost see the whole thing.

"Ahem..."

Xiao Jian couldn't help but look away.

This driver is really long...ah, no...it's this driver that's really white!

However, after turning around, the driver of this heavy tank retracted under the layers of thick armor. Only the commander still stuck half of his head out of the car and drove the heavy armor straight away. come over.

"Stop...don't be so close." Xiao Jian quickly stopped her - I didn't know if she did it on purpose just now, the track almost hit Xiao Jian's face.

"?"

The blind saint showed just the right amount of pure surprise, widened her eyes and said innocently: "I just want to take you to the room... Do you want to stand here?"

"……lead the way."

Xiao Jian waved his hand, quite impatiently.

The blind saint was really surprised now. After silently remembering this, she slowly adjusted her expression while her back was turned to Xiao Jian. Soon the "purity" on her face faded away.

After fine-tuning, her expression became more "reasonable" and mixed with "intelligence".

It's just a slight difference in her expression. She immediately looks five or six years older than the "pure" person she was just now.

However, the blind saint didn't know that Xiao Jian, who was walking behind her, had already adjusted his mood and became cold and rational again.

Because, her unintentional performance just now reminded Xiao Jian of a person - "White God" Morse, who is still lying in Xiao Jian's card pile.

The pure and seductive look of the blind saint just now is very similar to Morse.

However, who can believe that Shirakami, who swallowed countless fragments of the world and planted the seeds of slavery on the captured humans, is a weak girl?

Compared to Morse, the man in front of me was once a great man!

An existence that also possesses the characteristics of [True God]!

How could she be any simpler than Morse?

Therefore, when the concentration of tea is moderate, it has a fragrant and sweet aroma, but when it is concentrated to a certain extent, it becomes bitter and astringent.

…

The two of them didn't go far before they came to a pure white bedroom.

Although it can be seen that most of the tables, chairs and benches are made of obsidian, some unknown material is applied on them to make the originally dark obsidian white and no longer reflective.

There are a large number of "oil lamps" placed on the bedroom ceiling, walls, tables and chairs, and even in the corners.

These "oil lamps" don't know what they are burning. There is neither oil smoke nor any peculiar smell. Even the light they emit is stable and white, completely different from the dim and dancing firelight in the cave below.

Xiao Jian looked around for a week, briefly visited the blind saint's bedroom, then he quickly found a stool and sat down, and then asked straight to the point:

"I went to the Gale Canyon you mentioned, and I didn't find any trace of settlement activity."

"Oh, really? That's normal." The blind saint picked up a strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear. "After all, that was news a long time ago. It's normal for distortion to occur."

"So, is the clue broken?" Xiao Jian continued to ask.

He still wanted to find a companion for Rhubarb, and he was also very interested in the real "Holy Beast Walker" - at least on this point, Hopper did not lie to him, because the information related to "Holy Beast Walker" came from that "old liar" "The original words.

"If you really make up your mind to look for it, you can still find it. It depends on how much you want to pay..." The blind saint sat elegantly on the bed, and then gently arranged her clothes.

At this time, not only the driver retracted behind the thick armor, but even the commander was blocked by the thick armor.

"Oh? What can you do? Let's talk about it first?" Xiao Jian was noncommittal.

"Well, it's a long story." The blind saint smiled.

Xiao Jian also smiled at her without any expression.

Time passed by like this bit by bit.

The sunlight value on the blind saint's head is also continuing to decrease.
