Qin Ning's struggle

Landslides and ground cracks, sea water boils.

The white steam is like a sharp giant blade, easily breaking through the boulders and crushing them into powder.

Hot magma spewed continuously, overflowed the crater, flowed and rolled, gathered a web of death that destroyed everything, and the entire planet was covered in crimson red.

"The energy value reached the highest level, two satellites were damaged, and the signal was lost."

The starship flew close to the space station, and the outer deck of the bow rose, leaving only a transparent bulkhead.

Standing by the console, looking through the bulkhead, in the dark universe, the two primordial stars seem to be burning fireballs, dazzling and shockingly beautiful.

"Will there be life on the planet in such a catastrophe?"

Qin Ning stared intently at the red primordial star, and unconsciously walked closer.The palm covered the bulkhead, and the coolness quickly poured into the limbs and bones.

Great changes in the vicissitudes of life, the cycle of life, but in the blink of an eye.

In the face of natural forces, all creatures appear small.

Survival of the fittest and tenacious survival in the great changes can evolve accordingly and become survivors of the new era.

"This is an eternal law."

Human power cannot be changed.

With warm hands on her shoulders, Qin Ning knew who was standing beside her without turning her head.

"10 years ago, the Qingluan family had not yet been exterminated. The records at that time were very complete, and they were kept in the library of the main city."

"Is there any relevant records?"

"Yes." Bai Jue nodded.

It's just placed on the ninth floor, and no one can read it without the permission of the city lord.Stone City is even more impossible.

"How long will this disaster last?"

"About ten days or so." Bai Jue leaned over, motioned Qin Ning to look at the closer primitive star, and said, "This is not a disaster, but the self-evolution of the planet."

Evolutions separated by 10 years all represent a new birth.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Go down and have a look?

now?

Turning her head in amazement, Qin Ning thought she had heard wrong.

The earth's crust is moving violently, and volcanoes are erupting.Going down at this time, do you want to swim in the magma?

"How to get down?" Qin Ning asked, "Can the starship go in?"

"use this."

Bai Jue raised his right arm, and the gold ring on his wrist was faintly shining.

"It's a guard that keeps the heat out."

While speaking, his finger brushed the edge of the golden ring, and the lifelike totem instantly came to life.The golden light diffused out, opened like an umbrella, and slowly covered the two of them.

Qin Ning reached out his hand curiously and poked the golden light wall.

It is cold to the touch and surprisingly elastic.The fingers are wrapped without any discomfort, like a second skin.

This feeling was all too familiar to him.Experienced several times on the desert island.

Withdrawing his hand, Qin Ning lowered his eyes and grabbed the black bracelet on his wrist.

Is there a connection between the two?

"Go down?"

"Go!" Bai Jue said no problem, but Qin Ning chose to believe it.

"Come on, give me your hand."

Bai Jue took out another gold ring and put it on Qin Ning's wrist.When adjusting the width, the golden ring hit the black bracelet and made a soft sound.

The golden totem began to glow, the black bracelet trembled slightly, and white light pulled out.The two forces are entangled together, seemingly repelling each other, yet contradictory and harmonious.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ning was a little dumbfounded.

Bai Jue didn't take it seriously, and carefully adjusted the size of the gold ring to make sure it wouldn't come loose, and said, "It's okay, it's normal."

"normal?"

"The manufacturing technology is similar, and the system settings are compatible, so there is no need to worry."

"what?"

"It's a long story, and I only found out about it recently." Brushing the inside of his wrist with his fingertips, he easily separated the black bracelet from the gold ring, and said seriously, "I'll tell you in detail when I have a chance."

Qin Ning opened his mouth, thought and thought, but did not continue to ask.

"The entire planet is covered in magma, the starship cannot approach, but the modified flying shuttle can. After going down, be sure to follow me closely."

"I see."

Go down to the bottom deck, and the starship hatch opens.

Three adult swans, each with a little phoenix bird, took the flying shuttle and sailed to the primitive star that was almost a hell.

Close to the surface of the planet, a terrifying heat wave rolled over.

The steam spewed continuously, and the white air column became a solid body.The sea water is completely dried up, and the atmosphere is almost penetrated.

It's hard to imagine that any creature can survive under such a terrifying high temperature.

"The ruins of Qingluan are hidden underground."

Since Qingluan's clan was wiped out, the ruins have been buried deep all year round.Outsiders want to enter, must wait until the volcano erupts.This is how you can find the entrance.

Sitting in front of the console, Bai Jue skillfully manipulated the flying shuttle, traveling through the heat waves.

"After Qingluan's clan was wiped out, Primordial Star changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of Moa."

Qin Ning sat quietly without interjecting.

At this moment, his attention was highly concentrated, fearing that the flying shuttle would not be able to stop the heat wave and crash on the surface of the planet.

The rebirth of the phoenix from the ashes is a myth in legends.

If you really lose your protection and fall into the magma, you will definitely die as a roast duck.

"do not worry."

Passing through a mass of fire, avoiding the gushing heat, the speed of the shuttle slowed down.The alloy covered by the outer layer was baked by the lava, and it was not damaged at all, and it was as hard as before.

On the screen, Bai Yan and Bai Qing reported separately that the landing point had been confirmed and they were about to land.

"We're not together?"

"The relics are located in three volcanoes, and the protective devices have a limited time."

Going separately is faster and more efficient.

Bai Jue pressed the control panel and brought Qin Ning to the hatch.

The protection device was turned on, and after confirming that all the data was correct, Bai Jue opened the hatch.

Magma is rolling and pouring in from all directions.

Qin Ning was startled, and instinctively took half a step back.

"Don't be afraid, come with me."

The wrist was grabbed, and the familiar heat could still be felt through two layers of golden light.Qin Ning took a deep breath and stepped forward.

After the two left, the hatch closed.The intelligent system was activated, and a barrier was opened outside the flying shuttle.

The heat wave is rolling, and the eyes are red.

Walking in the meantime, it seems to be in a scorching hell, in danger of being swallowed at any time.

The golden light seems fragile, but it can effectively isolate the magma and maintain a normal temperature.

The lava splashed on his body, and he couldn't feel the slightest burning sensation.Qin Ning relaxed slightly, and no longer tensed up all the time.

In front of you is a large fractured rock formation.

There used to be a vast expanse of land.Due to the change of the earth's crust, it was torn apart, collided and crowded with each other, and became hundreds of isolated islands.

When the volcano erupted, the isolated island was surrounded by lava, and the beasts who had no time to escape were trapped, and it was a dead end to advance or retreat.When another wave of magma hit, there were no bones left.

Walking to the edge of the rock formation, Bai Jue bent down and supported Qin Ning with one arm.

"Hold me."

The voice is very soft, with warm comfort.

Qin Ning didn't say a word, but hugged Bai Jue's neck very skillfully.

The platinum wings of light spread out, rolling up a burst of icy cyclone, rushing away the magma and steam.Bai Jue jumped up, carried Qin Ning across the magma field, and flew to another piece of broken land.

In the light, the long hair flew up, and the silver totem emerged, quickly covering Bai Jue's shoulders, neck and arms, and the tail extended to the fingertips.

Looking down from above, the platinum-gold swan looks like a ray of light, walking through the flames.The bird in his arms is the only black embellishment in the light.

Bai Jue's speed was extremely fast, and when the light wings flapped, the flames automatically separated to both sides.

Surrounded by a powerful aura, Qin Ning tightened his arms.Soberly aware of how terrifying the power of an adult swan is.

Does this mean that as a Phoenix, I will have such a day?

Various thoughts flashed by, Qin Ning grinned, completely letting go of the fear of magma.

About 10 minutes later, Bai Jue's speed slowed down.

The two landed on a protruding rock, and 300 meters ahead, there was a volcano hiding the remains of Qingluan.

"Let's go down."

The four characters fell, and the white scorpion fluttered its wings and screamed.

The majestic voice spread far away and clearly fell into the ears of the other four swans.

"Here, the communicator cannot be used."

If the temperature is too high, the signal will be interfered and become very blurred.

In contrast, it is more convenient to call a few times.

After all, the oldest Phoenix language evolved from the calls of the five races.

Flying over jagged rocks and burning ancient trees, Bai Suo slowly retracted his wings and fell along the volcanic rocks.

"I can walk by myself."

Qin Ning pulled her long platinum hair.

The icy strands of hair were entwined between his fingers, and he was a little reluctant to let go.

"Not yet."

Bai Jue didn't agree, and put one arm around Qin Ning, and clasped the raised rock firmly with the other hand, finding the right point of leverage, and jumped out lightly.

Almost at the same time, two flames licked alternately.

The rock shattered and turned into dust in the blink of an eye.

On the way down, when he encountered a sunken mountain wall, Bai Jue made a decisive decision and flew Qin Ning into it.

From a distance, I don't think so, but when I look closely, I find that the hole is deeper than imagined.

Dark rock, like man-made.

The long and narrow corridors were winding, leading to nowhere.

Both feet landed on the ground, Qin Ning didn't pay attention, and was tripped.The palm covered the stone wall, and his eyes widened in surprise.Thinking it was an illusion, he rubbed his hands on the rock wall, and finally, even people stuck to it.

Pushing away the boulder blocking the road, Bai Jue turned his head and raised his eyebrows when he saw Qin Ning's actions.

"What are you doing?"

"This stone is not hot at all!" Qin Ning said in surprise.

This is the interior of the volcano, less than 200 meters behind, the heat wave is sweeping, and the lava is erupting wildly.

The temperature of the stone walls on both sides is normal, even a little cold, which is too strange.

"Because of this, Qingluan's ruins can be preserved." Bai Jue pulled Qin Ning and said, "This is Qingluan's secret, and few outsiders know about it."

"You don't know either?"

"I don't know." Bai Jue smashed the boulder with one punch, picked Qin Ning up in his arms, and said casually, "It is said that the bird knows."

In this way, the literature may have the answer?

The road narrowed suddenly, Qin Ning had no time to think, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid the fate of being hit.

"Put me down."

The height of the hole does not exceed three meters.Being hugged by Bai Jue, he would bump his head after walking a few steps.

Obviously, Bai Jue also found a problem.A rare embarrassment flashed across the delicate face.

As a thousand-year-old swan, it was indeed too inappropriate for the chicks to almost bump their heads.

Ending the topic about the stone wall, the two continued on their way.

As you go deeper, the stone walls become smoother.

Inexplicably, Qin Ning felt familiar.

If you think about it carefully, the environment here is very similar to the deserted island volcano.Whether it is the excavation of the tunnel or the manual grinding method, it is exactly the same.

Could it be that the mining technology of Dianji was also learned from Qingluan?

The corridor was pitch black and seemed endless.

Bai Piao spreads out the light wings, which can be compared to the light source of self-propelled walking.

Qin Ning really envied this innate condition, but he couldn't imitate it at all.

Black Feather can't afford to be hurt.

Going around two corners, the temperature drops suddenly.Qin Ning folded his arms and couldn't help sneezing.

Traveling from hot summer to cold winter, this is probably the feeling.

"Ah!"

After three sneezes, Qin Ning rubbed her nose.Just as he was about to take a piece of clothing from the storage, he was picked up again.

"After this journey, it should be better."

As Bai Jue said, his arms tightened.In order to speed up, it is completely broken at the sight of a stone.

Qin Ning had no doubts, regardless of the subsidence issue, he would directly dig a hole in the mountain wall and choose the shortest path.

Walking through two connected corridors, instead of rising, the temperature dropped even lower.

Wrapped into rice dumplings, Qin Ning still felt cold and sneezed repeatedly.

"Is there a glacier buried under here?"

"perhaps."

Bai Jue put him down, instead of moving forward, he looked around.Looking around the left mountain wall, he found the pattern hidden in the stone pattern, suddenly formed a fist with one hand, and smashed it down hard.

Qin Ning was taken aback.

Is this guy really going to climb a mountain?

Amidst the roar, the stone wall cracked.After that, there is a hidden cave, which is actually a magnificent hall.

"It should be here."

After passing through the cracked stone wall and confirming that there was no danger, Bai Jue stretched out his hand, and Qin Ning immediately followed.

The hall is excavated in the mountain wall, and two rows of stone pillars extend side by side, each of which is [-] meters high.

At the bottom of the stone pillars, square stone platforms are well arranged and painted with various patterns.

Over time, most of the patterns and colors have peeled off, but the remaining parts are still exquisite.

Along the way, Qin Ning counted silently in his heart.

Apart from the collapse and fracture, more than a hundred stone pillars are well preserved.

Under the thick dust and stone powder, the bluestone floor is radiant.It is also carved with patterns, which are somewhat similar to the ones he found on the desert island.

"This is the Qingluan Totem."

Bai Jue bent down and brushed away the dust, revealing a well-preserved pattern.

"This used to be Qingluan's residence, and it was built more than 300 million years ago."

"300 million years?" Qin Ning raised his head with doubts on his face.

"There are records here." Bai Jue pointed to him.

It turned out that the bottom of the stone pillar not only had patterns, but also engraved with ancient characters, which recorded the major events that happened in the city.

"This is the engraving left by Patriarch Qingluan."

"This is a ceremony in the family, where the phoenix dances."

"These texts tell about the wedding of the city lord."

"The patterns represent the breeding season, when the chicks are born."

Some handwriting is very blurred and needs to be carefully deciphered.Qin Ning observed closely and found several related records.

Inferred from the text, the existence of this ancient site is indeed no less than 300 million years old, or even longer.

"Go from here."

Continuing forward, the two passed through the broken stone gate, and there was another hall in front of them.

The dome is supported by stone pillars, and the patterns and patterns carved in various places are more exquisite.

Between the two rows of stone pillars are three parallel bluestone platforms.

A few gold-cast boxes lay quietly on the stone platform.After years of erosion, it is still as bright as new.

Most of the boxes have been opened, empty inside, nothing left.

The remaining two are still in good condition. The lid of the box is engraved with the totem of Qingluan, and the inlaid gems are arranged in a constellation pattern, which looks more exquisite and more mysterious.

The stone platform was not high, it just reached Qin Ning's waist.

The two stepped forward, and after ensuring safety, they opened the gold box in the middle.

Contrary to expectations, there are only three storage containers in the box with a length and width of more than two meters.The style is quaint and has obviously aged.

Open one, the internal space is beyond imagination, loaded with a damaged starship, with phoenix totems painted on both sides of the ship.

"This is Qingluan's flagship." Bai Jue said, "I only heard from my father."

The remaining two pieces, one full of ore, were mined in different eras and different galaxies.After refining and casting, it is enough to rebuild ten Qingluan flagships.The other one contains a large number of documents, which cannot be deciphered for the time being, and can only be discussed after returning to the city.

Qin Ning looked at the storage container and suddenly had a strange idea.

Starships, ores, literature.

Is this probably a Phoenix tradition?

The rest of the gold box is very small, only the size of two palms.

After opening it, Qin Ning was stunned for a moment.

He raised his right arm, looked at the black bracelet on his wrist, and then at the one in the box.Except for the different colors, they are exactly the same.

what on earth is it?

Before he could figure it out, Bai Jue reached out and took out the bracelet.

The transparent material looks like jade but not jade, holding it in the hand, there is a faint warmth.

"Strange?"

Qin Ning nodded.

"Such accessories are originally available in the Phoenixes of the five races."

"All?"

"Yes." Bai Jue took off the gold chain on his forehead, and removed the diamond-shaped gemstone.

A slender gold chain that changes quickly.In less than five seconds, it turned into a gold bracelet.

Qin Ning was dumbfounded.

What is this development?

"These were originally made for the convenience of transporting supplies."

In ancient times, the territory of the five Phoenix clans was extremely vast, and relying on starships to transport resources, they were often too late, resulting in problems.

For example, the extinct dragon beast has first-class meat and taste, and it is Phoenix's favorite food.But there is a disadvantage, the meat decays very quickly, and it cannot be properly preserved after changing a variety of storage devices.

In order to keep fresh, this delivery tool becomes very important.

After listening to Bai Jue's explanation, Qin Ning was completely speechless.

Need for preservation?

What about the imaginary height?Just eat it with a strange beast?

"A lot of changes happened after that," Bai Jue continued, putting the gold bracelet on his wrist, "After the Suzaku clan was wiped out, Qingluan sensed the danger, so in order to collect energy, he reset the system, erased the traces belonging to the Phoenix, and spread out secretly. It’s only in the Seven Regions that it looks like it is today.”

"10 years ago, Mianji managed to get here and took away some relevant documents." Pointing to the first empty box, Bai Jue said.

"1 years ago, civil strife broke out among the Yu tribe, and the entire Mianji tribe died, and the documents were lost. It was not discovered from the original star until a few days ago."

"Find my one?"

"After taking you away, I searched the interior of the island again."

Bai Jue opened the storage container, delivered a shell to Qin Ning, and said, "This is found from the remaining ruins. There are a lot of documents and a starship in it."

Rubbing the edge of the shell, Qin Ning felt puzzled.

Can swans also open the shells left by swans?

"I have the blood of Dian Jie." As if he could read Qin Ning's mind, Bai Jue blinked and said, "My great-grandmother is Dian Jie."

Tilting her head, Qin Ning said that she really couldn't tell.

Bai Jue bent down and gently pressed Qin Ning's forehead.The bottom of the eyelashes drooped, and there seemed to be water fluctuations in the depths of the smoky eyes.

"terribly sorry."

"...Why do you apologize?"

"I am your relative, I should have found you earlier."

The voice flowed in the ear, with the rhythm unique to Phoenix.

Qin Ning didn't make a sound.

This time should be touched, right?

But he couldn't control it, and a thought popped into his mind: If he was found a few days earlier, would he be "hatched" by Bai Xie?

Thinking of a certain scene, Qin Ning's face changed slightly, and he shook his head quickly.

No, the idea is terrible!

Frightened by myself, a certain raven fell to Sparta on the spot.

I completely forgot to ask, what is the purpose of the trader collecting a large amount of bio-energy.

On the other side, the four swans were divided into two teams and found the entrance of the historic site one after another.

Bai Yan and his son harvested a large amount of ore, enough to manufacture twenty giant starships.

Bai Qing and Bai Xi were empty-handed, and found nothing except a few boxes.Moreover, the boxes are not gold, they are all alloys left over from the ancient times.

The protection device has low energy and the alarm sounds.

The six people did not dare to delay, quickly left the volcano and boarded the flying shuttle.

Back on the starship, Qin Ning opened the shell that Bai Jue gave him, and he found a giant ship with a large amount of energy ores.

Sitting in the cabin, with three shells lined up, Qin Ning finally made up his mind after thinking about it for a long time.

Bai Jue received the communication, handed over the command to Bai Yan, got up and left.

Honghu who was arrested was very depressed.

How could it be him every time?

There is clearly more than one swan on board!

Bai Qing turned his head, turning a blind eye to the grievances of his fellow clan.According to the request of the three little phoenix birds, sort out the data and record the scenes and pictures of the volcanic eruption.

This is Baizhu's trust.

In short, those who are capable will work harder, and there is no help from others, so please encourage yourself.
