Chapter 57: The Enchanted Spirit Moths

After the "Spirit Tree Council" made the decision to go to the Holy Land Canyon to find the purifying power, the main characters and Lynn quickly boarded the spaceship and embarked on this journey full of unknowns and challenges. The interstellar space of the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain was far from being a peaceful and serene place. Right from the start, it gave the main characters a tough welcome.

Shortly after entering the route to the Holy Land Canyon, a strange area appeared before their eyes. This area was shrouded in the disorder of spirit tree energy. The thick spirit tree energy here had lost its original order and was surging wildly like a runaway horse. Violent energy storms, like turbulent waves, swept towards the spaceship wave after wave. The spaceship jolted violently in the storm, like a lonely boat in the raging wind and waves, in danger of being swallowed up at any moment.

"Everyone, hold on tight! This energy storm is too fierce!" Kyle shouted loudly, gripping the spaceship's control stick tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize the spaceship's flight attitude. Alicia stood aside, and the power of the interstellar guardian surged within her, assisting Kyle in resisting the impact of the storm on the spaceship.

At this time, Cavin was fully focused on the spaceship's control console, with beads of sweat covering his forehead. Under the interference of the disordered spirit tree energy, the electronic devices frequently emitted ear-piercing alarm sounds, and various parameters were jumping wildly. "No, the energy interference is too strong. The spaceship's navigation system and power system have been severely affected!" Cavin said anxiously while operating various buttons and knobs at high speed, trying to adjust the spaceship's parameters to keep it stable in the storm. Every adjustment was like a fierce battle against this violent force.

Elsa gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, and determination showed in her ice-blue eyes. She knew very well that she couldn't panic at this moment. Although her ice magic had limited effect in dealing with this kind of energy storm, she was still always ready. Once there was a need, she would not hesitate to cast her magic to help the spaceship and her companions. Morgan widened his eyes and looked at the wildly raging energy storm outside the window. He was both nervous and excited. He clenched his fists, ready to deal with any possible unexpected situation at any time.

Under the continuous impact of the storm, the spaceship's hull began to show slight deformation, and the metal plates made a "creaking" sound, as if moaning in pain. "This won't work. The spaceship can't hold up!" There was a trace of anxiety in Kyle's voice. Just then, Cavin suddenly shouted, "I've found an area with relatively weaker energy fluctuations. Let's rush towards that direction. Maybe we can get out of the storm!"

Kyle immediately adjusted the spaceship's course and rushed towards the direction indicated by Cavin with all his might. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the spaceship, like a tenacious petrel, struggled to navigate through the gaps in the energy storm. After a thrilling struggle, finally, the spaceship successfully broke out of the energy storm area, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

However, before they could celebrate, a dense meteorite belt appeared ahead. Countless meteorites were shuttling through interstellar space. They were of different sizes and shapes, like hidden weapons in the universe, and could deal a fatal blow to the spaceship at any moment. Kyle and Alicia focused their attention again on operating the spaceship. Their eyes were fixed on the front, not missing any meteorite that might threaten the spaceship's safety. They flexibly adjusted the spaceship's flight trajectory, sometimes rising, sometimes descending, sometimes turning, and carefully shuttling through the gaps between the meteorites.

Morgan watched the scene outside the window nervously and let out an exclamation from time to time: "Be careful, that meteorite is going to hit us!" Every time this happened, Kyle and Alicia could always rely on their superb operating skills to make the spaceship narrowly avoid the impact of the meteorite. Cavin closely monitored all the data of the spaceship from the side, ensuring that the spaceship's engine, shield, and other systems were operating normally. Once he found that a meteorite might break through the spaceship's shield, he would promptly remind Kyle and Alicia and activate the emergency defense measures.

After a long and difficult passage, the main characters finally successfully passed through the meteorite belt. But they didn't have time to rest, and a new crisis quietly arrived. When the spaceship approached the Holy Land Canyon, a group of strange creatures came into everyone's view. These creatures were the Enchanted Spirit Moths. They were tiny in size but astonishing in number, like an endless black tide, surging towards the spaceship in a overwhelming manner.

The Enchanted Spirit Moths emitted a faint and eerie light all over their bodies, and the edges of their wings flashed with a faint purple light, which was the external manifestation of the paralyzing toxin. They frantically crashed into the spaceship, making a dense and creepy "bang bang" sound. As time went by, the spaceship's hull was gradually covered layer by layer by the Enchanted Spirit Moths, as if it had put on a wriggling black armor. The toxin began to seep in through the tiny gaps in the spaceship's hull, like wisps of invisible smoke, slowly but steadily.

Morgan was the first to notice something was wrong. He felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips, and the small magical item he had been playing with slipped from his hand. "Not good, the toxin of these moths is starting to take effect!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his legs go weak and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably. Seeing this, Elsa immediately cast her ice magic, trying to build an ice barrier inside the spaceship to prevent the toxin from spreading further. The crystal-clear ice wall spread rapidly, but the toxin seemed to have a life of its own, winding its way along the gaps in the ice wall, greatly reducing the blocking effect of the ice wall. At the same time, Elsa extended her ice magic to the spaceship's hull, trying to freeze the Enchanted Spirit Moths attached to it. In an instant, a thick layer of frost covered the surface of the spaceship, and many Enchanted Spirit Moths were instantly frozen. However, this was only a short-lived victory. The number of Enchanted Spirit Moths was too large. The frozen moths were quickly shattered by the subsequent ones, and more Enchanted Spirit Moths filled the gaps, continuing to crash into the spaceship, and the toxin continued to seep in.

Lynn looked at the difficult situation in front of him and frowned. He knew very well that the Enchanted Spirit Moths were attracted by the mysterious power of the canyon, and their actions must follow some kind of pattern. He closed his eyes tightly and quickly searched through the family's ancient books in his mind for records about the Enchanted Spirit Moths and countermeasures. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me. The Enchanted Spirit Moths are extremely sensitive to the spirit tree energy fluctuations of a specific frequency. Cavin, try to adjust the energy output frequency of the spaceship to emit a fluctuation similar to the mysterious power of the canyon but with slight differences. Maybe it can interfere with their actions."

Cavin quickly understood Lynn's intention and immediately got busy in front of the control console. His hands danced rapidly on the control console, his eyes fixed on the constantly jumping parameters, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. As the energy output frequency of the spaceship changed, the Enchanted Spirit Moths that had been frantically crashing into the spaceship seemed to be interfered with by some invisible force. Their actions became sluggish, and they no longer attacked in an orderly manner as before. Some Enchanted Spirit Moths circled in the air, collided with each other, and their flight trajectories became chaotic.

Kyle seized this rare opportunity and drove the spaceship to accelerate forward, trying to get rid of the entanglement of the Enchanted Spirit Moths. The spaceship struggled to navigate through the chaotic group of Enchanted Spirit Moths. However, the Enchanted Spirit Moths did not give up easily. Some of the moths readjusted their state and chased after the spaceship again. They flapped their wings frantically, making a sharp buzzing sound, as if venting their anger at the escape of their prey.

During this intense chase, the spaceship's energy system also malfunctioned due to the long-term impact of the Enchanted Spirit Moths and the erosion of the toxin. The speed of the spaceship gradually slowed down, the indicator lights flashed continuously, and the alarm sounded sharply again. Cavin shouted anxiously: "No, the spaceship's energy core has been affected by the toxin, and the energy output has dropped significantly. We won't be able to get rid of these moths like this!"

Elsa gritted her teeth and increased the output of her ice magic, trying to further prevent the toxin from eroding the energy core. Her hands flashed with a cold blue light, but her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Maintaining such a powerful magic consumption made her feel a bit overwhelmed. Morgan endured the paralysis of his body and used his illusion ability to create multiple clones, constantly shuttling around the spaceship, trying to distract the attention of the Enchanted Spirit Moths. However, the Enchanted Spirit Moths seemed to have developed some resistance to the interference of the clones. Only a few moths were attracted, and most of them still persistently pounced towards the spaceship.

Lynn suddenly shouted: "Everyone, hold on! I've found that there is a certain connection between the attack frequency of the Enchanted Spirit Moths and the energy fluctuation frequency. Cavin, fine-tune the energy output frequency according to what I just said!" Cavin took a deep breath and concentrated on adjusting the frequency again. With the slight change in the frequency, the attack rhythm of the Enchanted Spirit Moths was completely disrupted. They were in a complete mess in the air, colliding and biting each other, and gradually moving away from the spaceship.

After this thrilling contest, they finally got rid of the entanglement of the Enchanted Spirit Moths and arrived near the Holy Land Canyon.
