Chapter 435 Energy Particles

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She raised one hand and slowly reached towards the protective shield, as if trying to touch the transparent barrier.

Her fingers gently touched the protective shield, feeling its powerful force.

Lin Xiyue really wanted to go out, so she started to test the waters.

[Oh dear! Stop right now! This protective shield is extremely expensive, you absolutely cannot go out! If you get poisoned again, I don't have another antidote card this powerful for you. Waaah...]

As soon as the system saw Lin Xiyue make a move, it immediately stopped her.

After all, it knew very well that if Lin Xiyue really stepped out of the protective shield, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing the system's words.

She had only intended to test whether she could get out of the protective shield, but she did not expect it to cause such a strong reaction from the system.

"I... I just wanted to give it a try."

So she explained, with a hint of apology.

[Don't try it. The toxins outside have stopped spreading, but the concentration in this affected area is getting higher and higher. If you go out now, you'll probably be like before in less than a minute.]

The system's voice revealed a hint of helplessness; it was truly helpless about Lin Xiyue's behavior, even though it understood it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue's face showed a hint of embarrassment. She slowly withdrew her outstretched hand, then scratched her head, seemingly trying to hide her awkwardness.

“(⊙o⊙)…Okay, okay.”

Lin Xiyue said somewhat embarrassedly.

"However, will this toxin have no effect on Amo?"

Her gaze fell on Amo not far away, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

[Well, based on my previous analysis, this toxin has the greatest impact on the creatures of your Maple Star. Well, that's not quite right. It should be said that it has the greatest impact on creatures that cannot utilize energy.]

[For creatures like Boss Mo and his ilk, whose use of energy is as simple as breathing, this toxin might even make their lives here more comfortable.]

The system seemed to have read Lin Xiyue's mind. It rolled its eyes and then said.

The system's explanation relieved Lin Xiyue slightly. She nodded, and her worries lessened somewhat.

"Then why was I so severely affected before?!"

Then, Lin Xiyue remembered her past self and exclaimed in astonishment.

She stared wide-eyed at the system, as if trying to get a reasonable explanation from it.

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's reaction, the system couldn't help but sigh, appearing somewhat helpless.

[Because you're also from Maple Star. ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Although you can use energy, you're also affected by it. No, I should say, it's fortunate you can use energy, otherwise I'd be dead with you right now. People or animals that can't use energy will die the instant they come into contact with it, without any symptoms of poisoning.]

It shook its head and then said in a slightly teasing tone.

As Lin Xiyue listened to the system's words, her doubts not only did not lessen, but became even stronger.

"But I didn't feel like there was anything wrong with me before. And I also learned how the alien race uses energy, so why am I being affected?"

She frowned and pressed for an answer.

Seeing Lin Xiyue's anxious expression, the system knew that if the reason wasn't explained clearly, she would continue to be troubled.

[The reason you didn't realize you had a problem before is because you learned how to use the abilities of that other race, so you didn't feel anything. But your body is still human, so over time it will be affected.]

So it took a deep breath and began to explain in detail.

As Lin Xiyue listened to the system's explanation, she looked at the two completely different but identical scenes in front of her.

Various questions kept flashing through her mind, but the system's explanation seemed to give her some initial understanding of this mysterious toxin.

"Commander, what's that?!"

Lin Xiyue's voice revealed a hint of surprise and doubt as she stared intently at the strange object that had suddenly appeared on the screen.

The object initially appeared in the normal field of vision, looking ordinary, but somewhat abrupt.

However, not long after, a strange thing appeared in the energy display screen.

When the object first emerged from the ground, Lin Xiyue didn't even notice its existence.

After all, in this gray-black ruin, its pure white body was very conspicuous, but it was not displayed in the image that only showed energy.

Therefore, Lin Xiyue initially just thought of it as a plastic bag that floated by when she wasn't paying attention.

However, the situation is different now; this mysterious object has attracted Lin Xiyue's great attention.

The reason is that when two-thirds of the object was visible, it miraculously appeared in the energy display.

Surprisingly, the object appears completely different in the energy display compared to what we see with the naked eye.

In the energy image, it appears as a faintly visible mosaic of light, only a small portion of the image visible to the naked eye.

What's even more surprising is that as soon as this ball of light appeared, it began to release extremely subtle, imperceptible energy into the surrounding air.

Lin Xiyue keenly noticed this anomaly, and she immediately magnified the object in both images.

Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to discover that the object was not the plastic bag she had previously guessed, but a strange creature she had never seen before.

The creature was entirely white, and its slightly translucent texture made it look like an illusion, as if it did not belong to this real world.

Moreover, what's astonishing is that this mysterious creature has more than a dozen legs!

These legs, like spider legs, kept flapping and thrashing, as if desperately trying to break free from the soil.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue's curiosity was completely piqued, and she zoomed in on the image again without hesitation.

When the image was zoomed in again, she was surprised to find that the energy that had been continuously radiating from it was actually being released from a part of its body.

This part is neither like a mouth nor a buttocks; it's more like a mysterious opening.

As the image zoomed in, Lin Xiyue finally saw the details of the opening.

It's like a small cave, opening and closing with the breathing of living things, as if it's communicating with the outside world in some way.

And right there in that moment, some extremely tiny, faintly shimmering particles drifted out of the mouth.
