"… Can you understand?"
This was the imam's laboratory, and in front of the imam, a creature that looked like a piece of white meat was slowly wriggling on the ground.
Just now … This piece of meat exploded, and it even blew up the jar that the imam was holding it in.
However, nothing happened to it at all, so the imam made some calculations. It believed that the surface of this creature's body had layers of structure similar to 'skin'.
The outermost layer of 'skin' had explosive properties, and it just blew up the outermost layer to free itself.
Perhaps this was its basic escape ability, the imam thought that it had a certain level of intelligence, so it tried to communicate with it using brainwaves.
"…" But this thing did not respond, and it was moving at a slow speed, as if it was trying to escape.
The imam's spider used its forelimbs to poke the ground, and four transparent walls suddenly popped up around the ball of meat, and at the same time, a wall descended from above, forming a huge cube, trapping it inside.
"Since it's not responding, then let's just do some research."
This mechanism was originally used by the imam to trap random monsters, and it would occasionally catch some random monsters wandering around nearby to do research, so there was a lot of space inside, and there were a lot of things …
The imam poked the ground again, and many mechanical arms suddenly stretched out from the cube, and they quickly grabbed the ball of meat.
'Bang!' The sound from before rang out again, and a strong impact came from the meatball's body. All of the mechanical arms were broken and sent flying, crashing into the surrounding transparent walls.
Another explosion.
This time, the imam clearly saw the explosion, and after it exploded, the body of the ball of meat was obviously smaller, so it could perfectly prove the imam's previous speculation, that the ball of meat was blowing up a layer of 'skin' around its body.
Then, how many layers of explosive skin did it have left? The imam felt that it was not a lot, at most, it should only have one layer left. Moreover. This kind of explosion could not affect the place that the imam used to trap random monsters.
It had to be said that the ball of meat seemed to be very good at controlling the explosion, the impact of this explosion would only be sent outwards, and it, who was in the center of the explosion, was not hurt at all.
This ball of meat began to move again after the explosion, and the imam poked the ground again. A large number of new mechanical arms reached out and grabbed the meatball.
This time, the meatball did not resist at all. It seemed to have exhausted its exploding 'skin'. Seeing that, the imam opened a projection in the spider. Various information about the meatball was displayed on the screen.
The imam looked at the screen while controlling the robotic arms to examine the meatballs. They would even extend some tiny needles into the meatballs to extract the information inside.
After confirming it, the imam found that the meatball was indeed covered by a layer of skin. In addition to the two layers that were blown up earlier … there were a total of three layers of skin.
Although it was called skin, its structure was more like armor. It was quite tough. The two layers that were blown up before probably didn't have any toughness, but because of the explosion, it would definitely suffer some impact and shock. And this layer of skin could very well cushion this effect.
As for the internal structure, it was more complicated …
The imam found that the outermost layer was a layer of muscle, which allowed it to move forward. Then there were many dense and complicated mycelium inside, which formed a very complicated system. Further inside, there was a layer of structure similar to nerves.
These structures could transmit and send information, similar to the brain of a living creature.
Unless it was dissected completely, it seemed that more detailed information could not be obtained. Currently, it could only confirm that this thing could not communicate with it.
Moreover, the imam believed that this thing was not a brain. At least, it was not a brain similar to the Atte population or the plague fungal brain, but something else.
It had a special function.
It needed to continue observing …
Speaking of which, it seemed that the communication was still not working. The imam felt that if it destroyed this meatball, its communication equipment would be restored immediately. However, the imam still wanted to use other methods to fight against this communication interruption.
Then, it was time to continue the research …
'Beep!' Just as the imam was thinking this, it heard a sound. Then, it opened an image showing the entrance to the laboratory in the metal spider.
In the image, stood a group of fully armed random monsters … which were the Voidfolk.
"This place looks very suspicious. It might be the base of the 'Cripple Organization' from last time." A Voidfolk who seemed to be the leader looked carefully at the entrance of the laboratory. This laboratory looked like a cave from the outside, and the entrance looked like a blocked rock.
But for some reason, this Voidfolk seemed to know that there was something strange here, so it ordered a few of its subordinates, "I feel that this is a hidden door. You guys, install bombs here and blow it up!"
"Yes, boss!" A few Voidfolk behind it immediately walked over. They were all holding one or a few spherical objects in their hands, and they were about to place the spherical objects under the rock at the entrance.
'Ka!' But just as these Voidfolk were about to place the bombs, a few sharp blades suddenly extended from the big rock in front of them. Each blade perfectly pierced through their armor and bodies, and the bombs in the hands of these Voidfolk fell to the ground.
"This really is … a secret base! Hurry up and shoot! " The leader of the Voidfolk and his subordinates were shocked when they saw this. They immediately picked up their weapons and were about to press the trigger, but at that moment, a big hole suddenly opened up in the ground, and they all fell in. And what awaited them in the hole was … a dense swarm of blades.
"Ah!"
Currently, the imam did not need any random monsters to do experiments, but a portion of the flesh of these Voidfolk would be preserved, and could be used for food and other purposes.
The imam's laboratory had been modified a lot by it, so it could easily kill the bandits that came close to this place.
But … if there were too many bandits, the imam would feel slightly troubled.
… After that, a few days passed.
The Immortal had been researching the meatball. He wanted to know what it was used for, but … the research wasn't progressing very smoothly. It wasn't because the Immortal didn't know how to research it, but because his research was constantly interrupted.
"Everyone, I know that the Maniac Laughter Gang is hiding here! Now, prepare to attack with me! "
The imam heard the voice, it opened the image and saw another group of Voidfolk bandits standing in front of the entrance, this was already … the tenth group in the past few days.
These Voidfolk had many bandit groups here, they were usually named with some simple words, like … 'Maniac Laughter Gang', 'Cripple Group', 'Razor Group' etc. These groups were usually enemies of another group, and these Voidfolk bandit groups that came here all seemed to treat the imam's laboratory as a secret base of the enemy group, directly attacking the imam's entrance.
So the imam had no choice but to kill them all every time, but it did not expect them to keep appearing, the imam even suspected that if this continued, perhaps all the Voidfolk in the new world would gather here.
In the past, Voidfolk would occasionally come here, but they would not be in a group, and they would not be able to tell that this was a secret base and not a cave.
Then, why?
The imam looked at the meat ball that was still trapped by it.
Everything was very clear … this meat ball had a strange ability, in fact, the imam had always felt that it was releasing brainwaves outside.
It was hinting to those Voidfolk bandits, making them think that this was an enemy base, and wanted to escape while the Voidfolk were attacking.
It had such a strategic ability, but it did not respond to the imam's questioning and communication, this made the imam feel very strange.
Even if it thought that the imam was an enemy, it should have some reaction.
However, the imam had recently found out how it blocked the imam's communication, the imam had a way to restore communication, it would soon be able to contact the Voidfolk world.
But before that, the imam had to do something, it had to go to the nearest place to collect some materials, only then could it create a device to restore communication.
The imam knew that there was a Voidfolk bandit camp nearby, there was equipment to store the materials there.
The imam had also sent out the metal spiders to steal those materials, but it originally thought that those bandits would not be able to notice the metal spiders secretly approaching, but those bandits reacted abnormally fast.
They caught the metal spiders in an instant, then dismantled the spiders.
The imam had a lot of doubts about this situation … So this time, it planned to send out a larger group of troops to directly wipe out the entire group of bandits, then obtain the materials.
Thinking about this, the imam had already controlled the door to the entrance of the research room.
After the stone door slowly opened, a large number of metal spiders crawled out, at the same time, the ground outside the cave slowly opened up, and two larger … metal spiders crawled out.
After many rounds of research, the imam liked this type of spider structure, it felt that their size made them very efficient, so the 'soldiers' it created here were basically like this.
It thought that these troops could easily destroy the Voidfolk bandit camp.
So … this troop quickly arrived at the camp.
"Strange?"
The imam looked at the image in the base, a group of spiders was now walking on a high slope, from the slope, they could see the camp in the distance, there was not a single Voidfolk there.
However, the imam knew that the bandit group would always leave some troops to guard, and all the various settings and things in the camp were there, they could not have left …
Was this also a trick of the meat ball? (To be continued.)
