Was this... a group of miniature creatures?
The moment Lin entered the cone, she realized that it was a living space.
A sharp pillar stood in the middle of the spacious room. The pillar extended all the way to the outside of the cone. It was used to display 3D images.
There were also many strange objects in this room, such as jars, statues, and so on. The surrounding walls were also engraved with complicated murals. There were even lamps that emitted white light that formed a circle within the walls of the room, illuminating the entire room.
These things were only a few millimeters in size. More importantly, there were... 'creatures' inside.
Their bodies looked like headless lizards, and the place where their heads should have been was a round hole ….
Although they didn't have a head, they seemed to have everything. They had forelimbs and hind legs with twelve fingers and a very long tail. Their entire bodies seemed to be made of crystals, shining brightly under the light.
These creatures were about a centimeter in size, larger than the surrounding items. Lin thought that it would be better to call them 'crystal lizards' for now.
Beside them were the metal olives that Lin had used before. These olives could produce explosive substances in their bodies, so they could release explosive forces.
Lin's troops looked at them for a while. Suddenly, one of the 'crystal lizards' made a strange sound.
It sounded like the crackling of lightning.
The surrounding crystal lizards immediately cried out and retreated. The metal olives beside them rushed over.
Now. Lin could confirm that they were indeed living creatures. But they were very strange creatures.
When the Mini Pioneer smashed the first Olive Diamond into pieces. The crystal lizards had already drilled into a circular door on the ground.
Lin thought that there were many 'rooms' inside the cone. She had drilled in from the top, so she was on the top floor. Judging from the height of the rooms, there were about three floors of rooms.
The surrounding olives had been crushed. Lin had a Pioneer climb into the circular door that the crystal lizards had drilled into. With a light drill, the door was opened by the Pioneer.
The Trailblazer poked his head into the broken round door …
Bang! At that moment. The Pioneer felt the pain.
The Pioneer's head had been pierced through. From the eyes that hadn't been pierced, they could see a group of crystal lizards surrounding the Pioneer. A black spear was sticking out of the holes in their heads. It was this spear that had pierced through the Pioneer.
It turned out that they had this ability...
It seemed that they could use instant ejection to strengthen the impact. This way, they could pierce through very hard objects.
With that in mind, Lin had the other Pioneers crawl toward this position.
Slap! Suddenly, several crystal lizards jumped out from the Pioneers. Their heads instantly shot out and pierced the Pioneers' bodies.
One of the Pioneers dodged. Its rotating body slammed into the nearest crystal lizard. The rapid drill caused the crystal-like material on its body to scatter like powder. At the same time, it flew out and crashed into the wall.
But in the next second, the Pioneer was pierced by the other crystal lizards...
It seemed that their speed was quite fast, and it was not easy for the Pioneers to avoid this kind of attack.
The small battle ended just like that. A large number of crystal lizards opened the round door from the surrounding ground. Lin then realized that there was more than one door on the ground.
They crawled out and used the spears in their mouths to pierce the Pioneers. Then, they threw the Pioneers out of the exit above.
Although it appeared to be over, the Pioneers still left behind a lot of remnants inside. Each of Lin's troopers contained a large number of cells or miniature troopers that could move outside, but Lin decided to wait for an opportunity to carry out another operation.
Because these creatures felt very different... They seemed to have the ability to prevent invasion from the microscopic level.
At this time, outside, Lin's Pompom was still following the cone where these small creatures lived.
The cone was moving at an extremely fast speed. Lin felt that there was a wheel-like structure at the bottom of it. Because it had run away, the Voidfolk from before were temporarily safe. Although they were still arguing...
Flying in the small town that was not hit by the coral, Lin realized that although there were no Voidfolk on the streets, there seemed to be Voidfolk in the buildings.
Every time she approached a building, she could basically hear the sounds inside. Most of them were arguing and crying.
It seemed like most of the Voidfolk here had their own children. Most of them were children who were not old enough to go to the academy.
And these Black Metal creatures demanded to hand over their children. Other than the one she was chasing, Lin also saw many other cones in front of the doors of the surrounding Voidfolk.
These tiny crystal lizards seemed to be the main enforcers. They projected a 3D image from the top of the cone and asked the Voidfolk to hand over their children.
They only knew one sentence, "Hand it over or die."
Lin believed that they had their own language. But for the language of the Voidfolk, they only knew one sentence...
Lin also realized that when the Pompom was within 10 meters, the cone would notice the Pompom. It was useless to use the current concealment method. But if it was more than 10 meters away, they would not notice it.
However, they had to remain invisible. Otherwise, they would be discovered from far away.
Most of the Voidfolk were arguing over whether or not to hand over their children. Some Voidfolk thought that because it was a newborn, they could just give birth to another one. There were also some Voidfolk who tried their best to protect their children and refused to hand them over.
Lin did not know what the Black Metal creatures wanted the Pompom for. But they did not seem to care about this because the Voidfolk would usually argue for a long time over this kind of thing. The crystal lizard cone would just wait there and did not rush them.
Most of the time, it was the male and female Voidfolk who argued with each other. Some even fought over it. Only a few Voidfolk reached a consensus and were willing to hand over their children. There were also some who went back on their word.
In front of the Pompom, two Voidfolk appeared...
The two Voidfolk had just agreed to hand over the cub. They placed the cub beside the cone. Then, something like a chain extended from the bottom of the cone and wrapped around the cub's leg. Then, it dragged the cub away.
Due to the constant rubbing of its tender skin against the ground, the cub cried out in pain. When its parents saw this situation, a feeling of 'pity' rose rapidly in their minds.
"No! Let go of it! "At the moment when their emotions reached its peak, the two Voidfolk rushed out at the same time.
A burst of blue light instantly shone on the faces of the two Voidfolk. Then, the light continuously changed into dozens of colors in a second. The Voidfolk who were hit by the light screamed and fell to the ground.
It seemed that the light had stimulated the visual nerves of these Voidfolk and caused them to faint. Then, the cone approached the two Voidfolk. Lin saw a large number of sharp metal limbs extending from its body. It dug into the Voidfolk's chest.
It cut open the Voidfolk's flesh bit by bit and drilled into its bones. During this process, the Voidfolk's blood gushed out like a river. But strangely, the unconscious Voidfolk did not feel anything at all.
Maybe it injected some kind of anesthetic into the Voidfolk's body during the cutting process.
Finally, the cone pulled out the hearts of the two Voidfolk and threw them aside. Then, it continued to drag the children away.
Although it could endure for a long time before it was handed over, if it wanted to take it back after handing it over, it seemed that the crystal lizard would kill it.
Their actions caused great fear in the Voidfolk in the surrounding buildings. Lin could clearly feel their emotions. Even through the walls and windows, she could clearly feel it.
The pompom did not follow the cone from before. Instead, it followed the cone that dragged the children. Lin believed that they were going to the same place.
That was the center of this group of buildings that had not been destroyed. There was a landmark building in Galle City here — the Galle Space Dome.
Lin first came here from the space station by train and stepped on the mother ball of the Voidfolk. Now, this place was the main base of the Black Metal.
The pompom followed the cone to the bottom of the Space Dome. Lin followed it in through the open door.
The interior of the building did not change much. The first floor was the place to buy tickets. Of course, there were no more Voidfolk here to buy tickets. The pompom followed the cone directly to the second floor.
The second floor was the place to 'board'. Through the surrounding transparent walls, one could see the landing ports of various aircrafts and trains.
There were no longer any aircrafts or trains here, except for one and only one.
Lin noticed that a space train was parked at the boarding area. The cone's target seemed to be there as well. It dragged the child to the entrance. At that moment, the door of the train opened automatically.
As soon as the door opened, Lin immediately heard the sound of violent crying coming from inside. There were already a lot of cubs inside the train. Most of them were crying, while some of them had already suffered serious injuries and were lying motionless on the ground.
It was probably caused by friction on the way here.
The child that was dragged here was the same. It was dragged into the train by the cone. When it came out, the door closed.
After the cone left, Lin deliberately looked at the children in the train. Lin noticed that the children seemed to have been casually thrown in there. There was no one taking care of them or paying attention to them.
It was a strange feeling. What did they want to do with these children? There were about a hundred children here. It seemed that many Voidfolk had already handed in their children …
Regardless, it was time to investigate the crystal lizards that transported the children. (To be continued …)
