My carefree life in space

Chapter 175 Mysterious Creature

When they returned to the space, the two were dumbfounded.

Because they were anxious about the Yuanzhu, the two of them hadn't paid much attention to the changes in the space. Now they realized that the damage to the space was much more serious than they had imagined.

The mountains in the space didn't change much overall, but the two people who were familiar with them still noticed the difference: the mountains were a bit shorter.

The large lawn that the two of them both loved was mostly covered by rocks and mud that had rolled down from a landslide in the distance, and some of the spirit fruit trees had also fallen.

Fortunately, the attic was sturdy and undamaged, likely due to its unique structure and materials.

Fortunately, neither of them were ordinary people, and with Lin Shushu as their host, they quickly tidied up everything and restored it to its original state. The only exception was that the height of the mountains could not be restored.

After tidying everything up, the two rested in the space for a while before returning to that strange place.

This time they noticed something different; the surrounding light was much brighter now. It must have been nighttime when they were in the space, and now it was daytime.

With ample light, everything around us lost its eerie feeling and instead appeared somewhat ancient.

Sensing no signs of life, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze flew in mid-air on their swords, looking down at everything they saw.

This is a small planet, or more accurately, an abandoned planet, where they discovered many architectural ruins.

As for why it didn't become a barren planet because of human extinction, it's simple: just look at these old buildings.

Although they have suffered considerable damage due to long-term weathering, there are no signs of human or weapon-related violence, indicating that humans did not perish overnight due to unforeseen events, but rather left voluntarily.

Both of them were curious about what had caused the people here to leave on their own.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't be too curious, otherwise it's easy to get caught up in something.

To resolve their doubts, the two stayed another night. Since they did not enter the space, they witnessed strange sights that they had not seen the previous night.

As night quietly falls, it's as if a huge black silk ribbon has been spread out around us, enveloping the entire world.

Thick fog rose from the ground like a ghost, gradually spreading and blurring the once clearly visible scenery.

Everything seemed peaceful, but the two noticed something unusual. The fog was appearing strangely, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.

The two stood in the air, gazing at the mysterious mist below.

As the fog thickened, solid entities gradually materialized, mysterious creatures they had never seen before appearing like ghosts in the mist.

They were tall and twisted, radiating an eerie light, as if they came from another dimension.

These mysterious creatures move swiftly and nimbly, weaving through the mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Lin Shushu gasped in astonishment, and Mo Ze was equally shocked. It wasn't fear, but rather that the scene before them was beyond their comprehension.

The appearance of these mysterious creatures came without warning. What force drove them here? And what is their purpose?

At this moment, a mysterious creature suddenly raised its head, its eerie eyes meeting those of Lin Shushu and Mo Ze.

The moment their eyes met, the mysterious creature launched its attack, charging towards them. Lin Shushu and Mo Ze immediately became alert, each drawing a longsword and charging towards the creature.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious creature's companions also rushed towards them.

The two stood back to back, their swords flashing in a dense, impenetrable dance. Lin Shushu cast spells, unleashing streams of spiritual energy towards them; Mo Ze, on the other hand, relied on his own metal-elemental spiritual power, each of his sword strikes imbued with immense power.

Wherever the spiritual energy reached, the mysterious creature instantly vanished. Before the two could relax, they discovered that the mysterious creature that had just disappeared had reformed.

"Shushu, be careful, they can come back to life," Mo Ze quickly warned. Since the two were back to back, he was worried that Lin Shushu hadn't noticed this strange scene.

"I've noticed it too. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." Lin Shushu responded quickly, while simultaneously knocking away another mysterious creature.

Both of them understood that this couldn't go on forever unless they found their weakness.

They could certainly hide in their spatial dimension and leave at dawn, but that wasn't their style. If they were to run away from such a small challenge, what would they do when faced with something even more difficult? Would that be any different from deserting?

However, these mysterious creatures are numerous and exceptionally resilient.

The two fought fiercely while carefully observing the mysterious creatures. After a long and intense battle, they began to show signs of impatience.

Just then, Lin Shushu noticed a peculiar spot near the heart of these creatures, where the light was even brighter than the light emanating from their bodies.

She had a bold guess, so she turned around and stood next to Mo Ze, pointing to that strange place and speaking.

"Mo Ze, concentrate your attack there."

The two understood each other perfectly, and Mo Ze immediately grasped her meaning.

As expected, the mysterious creatures, struck in their weak points, collapsed and turned to dust. Crystals fell from their bodies, shimmering with an eerie light, clearly containing energy.

With the last mysterious creature fallen, the two breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was finally resolved.

Lin Shushu picked up a crystal and examined it closely. This must be why they emitted that strange light. She looked at it for a long time, knowing only that it contained energy, but not its specific function.

"Let's put it away for now; we might need it later," Mo Ze said. Lin Shushu nodded; she had the same feeling.

"Is this why humans have migrated away from here?"

Imagine if monsters appeared in your neighborhood every night, and they were incredibly powerful. Wouldn't you consider moving?

After a busy night, they not only amassed a large number of energy crystals but also gained valuable combat experience, leaving them both quite excited. To collect even more crystals, they planned to stay a few more days.

Over the next few days, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze encountered those mysterious creatures every night. They constantly refined their combat techniques, becoming more efficient at defeating these creatures and obtaining crystals each time.

However, as time went on, they found that the number of mysterious creatures appearing was decreasing. That night, they encountered only a handful of mysterious creatures.

"What's going on? Are they going to disappear?" Lin Shushu asked in confusion.

“That should be true.” Mo Ze nodded and continued his analysis, “Shu Shu, have you noticed that the fog is getting thinner and thinner, which corresponds to the decrease in the number of mysterious creatures?”

Does this mean that this place will eventually be restored to a habitable planet? However, how many years it will take is not their concern.

Another night fell, and as the last mysterious creature collapsed and turned to dust, complete silence descended. For the next few nights, no more mysterious creatures appeared.

Looking at the mountain of crystals, Lin Shushu knew it was time for them to leave.
