[Bun City], deep underground.
Zhu Jue was crawling on the nose of the skull stone, his gaze serious in the darkness, but no ants could be seen.
For many days, Zhu Jue suffered from hunger and only relied on wild fruits to maintain his body's basic energy needs. Like a diligent scholar, he explored the surface of the skull stone bit by bit and forcibly recorded all the patterns and formulas. In my mind, it’s hard to forget.
Just now, he finished memorizing the last bit of content on the skull stone, and made a new discovery, but he hesitated.
Before today, Zhu Jue had never been able to figure out whether the skull stone was a sculpture or a real fossil of a human head.
If it is a sculpture, then the proportions of this sculpture are extremely accurate, almost fake and real, and it can be called a masterpiece. But when it comes to fossils, judging from the preservation status of other relics of human civilization, it seems that human civilization has not passed away long enough to produce fossils.
To this day, when he was groping for the location of the nostrils on the skull stone, he found that there was no passage inside. It was an uncut stone, not some obstacle blocking it up. Only then was it confirmed that the skull stone was just a sculpture and not a real human skull.
This made Zhu Jue feel at ease. After all, lying on a real human skull every day for many days would not be a pleasant thing to think about. But if it was a sculpture, there would be no psychological barrier.
Zhu Jue then tried to explore the inside of the eye socket of the skull stone. It was the only cave in the skull stone except for the nostrils. There was no obstruction and the space was large. It could go straight to the inside of the skull stone. He didn't know if there was anything inscribed inside. content.
The nostrils have been blocked, the skull stone is placed on the ground, the hole in the neck is tightly covered, and the teeth are also very tight without enough gaps to pass through. The eye sockets became the only way to the inside of the skull stone.
However, just as Zhu Jue leaned half of his body into the eye sockets, an inexplicable chill arose from nowhere, as if it was blowing from the inside of the eye sockets, and seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart.
Zhu Jue was startled and instinctively withdrew his eyes from his eyes, and then he calmed down.
Zhu Jue couldn't tell whether it was an illusion. He stared in the darkness in the direction of the eye sockets that he couldn't see clearly. His tentacles groped around the edges of the eye sockets, but found nothing.
At this time, a faint blue light curtain was emanating from the depths of the skull stone's eye socket little by little, slowly illuminating the skull stone and its surroundings like fluorescent fungi.
Zhu Jue was unaware of it, as if the light source did not exist. This body without night vision could still see nothing, only its tentacles groping around.
The faint blue light curtain that Zhu Jue couldn't see slowly floated up like a jellyfish, and even extended a tentacle-like light path, twisting and slowly approaching Zhu Jue.
Zhu Jue was still unaware that when the tentacles of light came into contact with his body, the light curtain suddenly accelerated, covering Zhu Jue's entire body.
At the same time, Zhu Jue seemed to have made up his mind and headed towards the still "black holes" in his eyes again. His body quickly disappeared into the light curtain, as if he was swallowed by the blue light emerging from the eyes!

The snow on the ground slowly melted, and the long-lost warm sunshine made the ground warm again, as if spring was about to return early.
But the climate in winter is unpredictable, and within a few days, a new snowstorm swept across.
This time's snowstorm was much more violent than the previous cold waves. Everything on the earth was frozen again. The color of ice and snow once again became the main color of the world. Several areas that were originally vaguely lively were also dead again.
All the lives in this world are hiding in fear. Even the most hardy, such as the Destroyer, cannot resist such the power of nature.
A team of trekking Destroyers failed to find shelter in time and struggled in a leeward place. The rapidly falling temperature and lack of sunlight made these ferocious Destroyers finally lose their life. They were covered by falling snowflakes and lost their lives. trace.
The nearby Pavement Ant Imperial Army breathed a sigh of relief. Their winter defense line had been riddled with holes in previous battles. If the Pavement Ant warriors had not continued to reinforce the defense line when the weather was better, this defense line would have been destroyed long ago. collapse.
In the spring and summer of this year, the Pavement Ant Empire Army relied on the support of its strong national power and once fought back and forth with the Destroyer. But in the fall, the Destroyer's advance was too strong, and the Pavement Ant Imperial Army had to withdraw from the Clover Hills and adjacent territories.
This line of defense is now a winter position carefully selected by the Pavement Ant Imperial Army. It not only has some defensive bonuses from the geographical location, but also can shelter from the wind and enjoy the sun, giving the Pavement Ant warriors better conditions for going out in winter.
Even so, the waves of Destroyer attacks were still difficult to withstand. The generals of the Pavement Ant Empire could only pray for more bad weather to stop the enemy's advance until next spring.
In the southwest of the Pavement Ant Empire, on the other side of the Qinghe River, a snowstorm also hit here.
Everything is covered with large clumps of snow, and the only remaining green in winter - those strong pines, strong cypresses, stubborn hollies, and stubborn small-leaf boxwoods - are either buried under the thick snow or because of It was sealed in the crystal "crystal" due to a freezing rain. Tens of thousands of ice sculptures are the artistic works of nature's most outstanding master, and they are displayed on the ground. The scenery is beautiful but cruel.
There are a large group of ice sculptures of destroyers and parasites here. Looking at the scene, it is not difficult to imagine what these creatures, which may have been alive and kicking a few days ago, experienced before their death:
The camp is located in a natural wind outlet where snowflakes cannot accumulate. Under the exposed ground is a shallow and simple camp for parasitic organisms, where some parasitic organisms hibernate and overwinter.
A large group of Destroyers raided the parasitic creature's camp. The White-bellied Destroyers blasted a large hole in the ground. The Destroyers swarmed in and started slaughtering...
The parasites woke up, some were resisting, and some were fleeing, but where could they escape?
Suddenly, a blizzard struck without warning. Both sides who were still fighting fiercely underground realized that something was wrong. The Destroyers were eager to evacuate, and the remaining White-bellied Destroyers blasted more passages for retreat.
Violent explosions destroyed the windproof soil layer on the surface of the underground camp. The cold wind that continued to pour in blew away the loose covering soil that had been blown away. When the snowflakes fell one after another, both the destroyers and parasites were quickly frozen in ice. .
Since this was a wind outlet, the snowflakes could not accumulate, and soon only the ice sculptures lying on the ground were left, frozen together with the earth, unable to be blown away or melted.
These quiet and lifelike ice sculptures are telling the world about the cruelty of winter!
