If the vast and boundless universe was compared to a vast ocean, then every star system would be a scattered island, and they would be isolated islands.
There was a vast space between the star systems, and there was almost nothing there. But in fact, the space between the star systems was not absolute emptiness, but hydrogen atoms, planets, and other substances.
At least for now, Ling Jiu and the others had encountered a planet.
It was a dark red planet. It quietly floated in the empty darkness between the boundless star systems, like a ghost pestle on the path that Ling Jiu and the others had to pass through.
"Humans, can you take a break on the planet ahead?"
Redflame made a request. It could still hold on in the long wormhole journey, but the dozen little guys in its body could not hold on and were in urgent need of rest and adjustment.
"Then let's take a break."
Ling Jiu agreed without thinking. He was the one who had the hardest time throughout the journey.
Opening a wormhole not only consumed a lot of Dark Bio-energy, but he also had to open hundreds of wormholes every day. He was already sick of it.
So, he was eager to rest.
The Dark Demonic Dragon did not say anything, apparently acquiescing to rest.
So, Ling Jiu opened a wormhole to the dark red planet and plunged into it.
"Huh?"
The moment he arrived on the planet, Ling Jiu was a little surprised. It was not cold?
In his impression, a planet like this suspended between star systems should be very cold, and it should be close to absolute zero.
After all, it did not have a star like the sun to give it heat. But the fact was that this planet was very warm, at least above zero degrees Celsius.
As if sensing Ling Jiu's doubts, Redflame slowly explained, "It should be the radiation effect."
"Radiation effect?"
Ling Jiu was stunned for a moment before he understood.
The so-called radiation effect referred to the geothermal energy produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes in the planet's core, which provided heat to the planet.
In addition, if the planet had an atmosphere, it could store heat and prevent it from escaping.
In this way, the temperature of the planet would be very high, and there might even be oceans and life.
So, there were no absolutes in this world.
With that in mind, Ling Jiu first took out the air pressure detector and found that the planet not only had atmospheric pressure, but it was ten times that of Earth.
He then used the atmosphere detector. Nitrogen 76%, oxygen 9%, methane 2%, sulfur dioxide 6%, carbon dioxide 6%, and others... 1%.
"Not only oxygen, but also carbon dioxide!"
"The carbon dioxide content is so high. No wonder this planet can maintain such a high temperature. The greenhouse effect is many times stronger than that of Earth!"
When the group arrived on land, they discovered that there was nothing on the ground, only …
Sand.
Yes, grains of sand!
As far as the eye could see, it was all white and soft sand, just like the sand on a high-quality beach!
"It's all sand! However, it's still much better than the dark and empty outer space! "
Ling Jiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Without another word, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the Dark Bio-energy in the void to recover.
Sadly, the Venom Suit needed to absorb the Dark Bio-energy that it had just absorbed first, and it would be Ling Jiu's turn after it was full.
Ling Jiu was helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He was not a stellar lifeform and could not be directly exposed to outer space. The Venom Suit was his only guarantee of life.
So, even if he was hungry, he had to feed the Venom Suit.
At the same time, Blackhead, Redflame Fire Dragon, and a few other star state Redflame Fire Dragons landed on the ground to rest. Redflame even released a group of babies.
"Roar!!!"
The group of baby Redflame Fire Dragons roared excitedly as soon as they came outside. They then flapped their wings and soared freely.
They had been holding back for days.
The dark red sky shrouded the entire planet, making the planet not so bright, but not to the point of absolute darkness.
Everyone and the dragons seized the time to adjust, looking very relaxed.
"Roar!!!"
However, just when the group was completely relaxed, a shrill dragon roar suddenly came from not far away.
This dragon roar was like a midnight bell, making everyone and the dragons' skin explode. They suddenly got up and looked in that direction.
The roar came from a 90-meter-long Redflame Dragon. It was floating in the air, its body entangled by some kind of blood-colored vines.
The 90-meter-long Redflame Dragon was nearly 100 meters long, which meant that it was less than 10 meters away from adulthood. Its strength was absolutely comparable to a Class 9 Direbeast on Earth.
However, at this moment, after being tightly wrapped by these blood-colored vines, the Redflame Dragon that was about to reach adulthood could not move the vines at all.
It struggled frantically, using all its strength to struggle, but it could not even break a single vine. Instead, the vines tightened.
"Roar!!!"
Redflame was furious. It opened its mouth and spewed out a nearly transparent dragon breath, burning the vines that emerged from the ground.
Redflame's dragon breath was amazing. Under the burning of the dragon breath, the vines were like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. They instantly let go of the little fire dragon and burrowed into the ground.
"Want to leave?"
Redflame opened its mouth and roared.
"Buzz!!"
The space instantly trembled. In an instant, the void in front of it shattered inch by inch, and the entire space was directly shaken into a paste.
Before these vines could burrow into the ground, they were drowned by the broken space.
However, what everyone did not expect was that even if the space was shattered, these vines were still intact. They burrowed out of the broken space and then sank into the ground.
Eventually, they disappeared.
"These vines are so tough!"
Redflame took a deep breath. "The vibration that can even shatter space did not hurt these vines at all. What kind of creatures are they?"
"I don't know."
The Dark Demonic Dragon shook its big head and said in a deep voice. "Let's leave this planet as soon as possible. There's something strange about this place."
"All right."
Redflame agreed and then looked at Ling Jiu. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the little fire dragon that had been entangled by the vines suddenly fell to the ground.
It then struggled in pain, its body twitching violently and spasming as it foamed at the mouth...
"Redflame, what's wrong with you?"
Redflame rushed over and asked anxiously.
"It's poisoned."
The Dark Demonic Dragon shook its head. "And it should be a poison that kills! It's... hopeless! "
Just as the Dark Demonic Dragon had said, this little fire dragon was beyond saving. In just a dozen or so seconds, it stopped convulsing and went completely silent.
It was dead!
From being poisoned to dying, it did not take more than 30 seconds!
What was poison?
This was poison!
The Redflame Fire Dragon, which was more than 90 meters long and comparable to a Class 9 Beast Emperor, was poisoned to death just like that. This showed how terrifying this poison was.
Ling Jiu took a deep breath. "Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The Dark Demonic Dragon naturally agreed.
Redflame did not refuse. Although it was sad, it knew that now was not the time to be sad.
So it called out to the little fire dragons, opened its mouth and motioned for them to enter. The little fire dragons were already frightened and lined up to enter.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, something happened again.
The surrounding sand suddenly shook violently as if there was an earthquake, and large tracts of sand suddenly sunk down.
Immediately afterward, incomparably thick tentacles broke out of the sand like ferocious pythons and then shot straight into the sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
There were too many of them.
There were just too many of these tentacles.
They appeared in all directions, the thickest like the chimney of a chemical factory, and the thinnest was only as thick as an adult's arm.
But all the tentacles, without exception, were all eerie blood-red, and their surface was covered with dense spikes.
They stood in all directions like ferocious blood dragons, and then turned into blood-colored streams of light as they lashed at Ling Jiu and the others.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
They were so fast that they appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. At this critical moment, all the Stellar-class dragons attacked at the same time.
"Roar!!!"
The rolling sound waves met the dense vines, and the terrifying shockwave spread out. The void was instantly twisted into pieces as countless small vines were sent flying, and the thick vines were also slightly stifled.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ling Jiu waved his hand, and a wormhole appeared in the air.
"Go!"
Ling Jiu yelled and took the lead to enter.
"Children, let's go!"
Redflame yelled.
"Yes, Mother!"
The little fire dragons responded one after another and then followed them in. Vine Man seemed to see this scene and suddenly became anxious.
So the surrounding ground trembled violently, and at the same time, the desert cracked and collapsed, forming trenches.
Immediately afterward, more, thicker, and longer tentacles rose from these trenches and then turned into ferocious blood pythons that lashed at them.
"We must buy time!"
Redflame knew that it would take a certain amount of time for the little fire dragons to enter the wormhole, and it needed to fight for this time.
"Roar!!!"
Redflame roared as flames suddenly rose around its body, and its 800-meter-long body was completely covered in flames.
In the next moment, Fire Dragons formed from flames shot out from its body and collided with the vines that were whipping down.
"Boom!!!"
Boom!!!
The fire dragons and the vines collided.
At this moment, all the fire dragons exploded with a loud bang, and the dark red sky seemed to be illuminated by the endless explosions.
"The temperature of these fire dragons is too high!"
At this time, Ling Jiu had already arrived in outer space. Because he had created the wormhole in a hurry, the distance was not very far, and it should be right in the atmosphere of this planet.
This place was not very far from the ground, but it was definitely not close. Even at this distance, Ling Jiu could still feel the terrifying heat emitted by these fire dragons. This showed the temperature of these fire dragons!
Even so, as the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, most of the vines were still intact, and only the thin vines were burned.
"How tough are these vines?"
Ling Jiu was shocked.
"The toughness of these vines is beyond my expectations!"
Redflame growled. At this time, it noticed that all the little fire dragons had entered the wormhole, so it shouted to the Dark Demonic Dragon and the stellar-class Redflame Fire Dragons. "You guys go first!"
"Okay!"
The other dragons did not argue and shrank and then plunged into the wormhole. When all the dragons had entered the wormhole, Redflame shook off the remaining vines and prepared to enter the wormhole.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ground under its feet suddenly cracked open, and a huge mouth drilled out of the ground and swallowed it.
