Chapter 1441 - 712: "Duel" Between Alien Flora

Chapter 1441: Chapter 712: "Duel" Between Alien Flora

The three of them were walking through this dreamlike alien landscape.

The ground beneath their feet was uneven, perfectly mimicking the structure of rocky terrain.

At the same time, various unknown alien plants were growing everywhere.

Some were extremely tall, reaching dozens of meters high, while others were very short, about the height of grass.

But they all had one thing in common, which was that they were all constantly moving.

These plants all had the ability to move by themselves.

This didn’t surprise Xu Xin and the other two, as they were already used to it.

It would be unusual if these alien plants didn’t move.

Of course, when they saw a group of these plants swaying altogether inside the windless giant spaceship, they were extremely cautious and careful.

Back in the early days of survival, they had encountered the aggressiveness of the moving vines in dangerous areas countless times.

So, the danger level of these plants growing in the crimson world probably wouldn’t be low either.

"Be careful," Xu Xin whispered, "This place looks very safe, but who knows what hidden dangers there are."

"But here... Why is it so quiet too?" Li Wenxi whispered.

The interior of the entire giant spaceship, within a two-kilometer range, was filled with real plants and ground scenery, while the distant and aerial views were composed of projections and screens.

To Xu Xin and the others, the visual effect inside the giant spaceship was very impressive, but... it gave a sense of desolation.

Because, all over the place, the plants were moving, but...

there wasn’t a single alien invader.

Combined with the so-called "endless" scenery, it truly gave a feeling of vast desolation.

"And, where is that creature?" Xu Ying whispered, "We haven’t seen it at all since we came in?"

After entering, they hadn’t encountered any other living alien invaders aside from those at the very beginning.

Now, even those groups of alien invaders were nowhere to be seen.

"Where did those alien invaders that entered with us go?" Li Wenxi looked around curiously, "Or, are they all in those little rooms?"

In this "wilderness," scattered metal small rooms were also present.

The crimson ground, constantly moving plants, the scarlet sky, and these metal small rooms hidden among the plants, reflecting red light, created this desolate scenery.

The nearest small room was less than two hundred meters away from them, directly on the path to the black house at the "foot of the mountain" they wanted to go to.

That black house seemed to be at the forefront of this area.

In context, it should be the head of the giant spaceship.

That’s why Xu Ying thought it was the control room of the giant spaceship.

"Let’s go and have a look."

The three of them quickened their pace and soon arrived beside this house.

The door was ajar.

And inside the house...

was a mess.

The room was filled with scratches and bullet holes, some reaching nearly ten centimeters deep into the walls.

At the same time, a faint bloody scent wafted through the place.

But there were no alien invader corpses.

Aside from some special "furniture," there was nothing else.

"A battle occurred here," Xu Xin said, examining the inside of the room, "and..."

He looked at the marks on the wall, which were very fresh.

"It must have happened not long ago," Xu Ying continued.

"Ah..." Li Wenxi suddenly realized, "Could it be that creature’s doing?"

It’s possible.

The creature could have been here; it might truly be that the creature did this.

"Let’s go; there’s nothing worth seeing here."

The three of them left the room and continued toward the distant black-made house.

The hatch of the giant spaceship was located at the midsection on the side, so Xu Xin and the others were now in the middle of the entire spaceship.

Thus, they were only about a kilometer away from the black room at the head of the spaceship.

The last few hundred meters, they walked with extreme caution.

Because, the closer they got to that black material house, the denser and taller the surrounding vegetation became.

It seemed like transitioning from a grassland, through a thicket, and into a forest.

Forests aren’t scary; what’s scary is a moving forest.

For example, what’s right in front of them now.

Vine-like plants extended their bodies into the air, with trunks thick like those of old trees, swinging perpetually in circles.

Meanwhile, a twisted, tall plant, as twisted as a pretzel, stretched out several gnarled, dry branches, occasionally stabbing towards the swaying, dodging vines.

On the ground, those short "bushes" and "lawns," swayed with the movements of the twisted tall plants, as if cheerleading for it.

"This is fascinating..."

Li Wenxi marveled softly, "It’s like these two are dueling, while a bunch of spectators surrounds them, cheering them on!"

"Don’t actually think of them as plants."

Xu Xin quietly reminded.

"These alien creatures only grow on the ground and bear some resemblance to plants on our Earth, but they shouldn’t actually be considered plants."

"Yes, by definition, they should be animals," Xu Ying whispered, "And perhaps could even be classified as alien beasts."

"Alien beasts..."

Li Wenxi swallowed, "Suddenly, it feels like the danger level of these creatures has escalated more than a notch."
