Right now, our exploration team is connecting to a certain part of the world.
I have encountered many creatures in this world, and these creatures are the most intriguing to me …
Although there was a large scale battle at the beginning, we are now moving quietly. There is no battle, but this is probably only temporary.
In short, we are now quietly exploring … these creatures called Earth Mirror.
Earth Mirror is not a huge creature that hides underground like we first thought. Instead, it is a group of creatures. Their bodies are about one centimeter long, and their surface is white. It feels like a mirror structure. They use an unknown method to slide on the ground, and their body surface emits light of different brightness and colors to communicate.
The Earth Mirror itself seems to have a high degree of technology.
They can create very sophisticated weapons. So far, we have discovered three types of weapons.
One type of weapon can shoot high-temperature 'rays.' The second type of weapon can shoot small spikes continuously. The third type … can shoot their own 'blood.'
The blood of the Earth Mirror is a silver viscous liquid. It will slowly harden in the air here. They also have many 'organs' in their bodies, but we are not sure what the functions of these organs are.
The weapons are obviously different from their organs. They are 'installed' from the outside. Some Earth Mirrors are not equipped with weapons, but they are equipped with other things, such as work tools.
The large mirror potholes seen on the surface are actually the 'cities' they built. There are crisscrossing tunnels here. There are various spaces for various purposes. So far, we have discovered. Their only source of resources is the burnt creatures in the potholes on the surface of the mirror.
These burnt creatures are transported deep into this underground city and processed in various ways. Finally, they are turned into substances that can be 'eaten' by the Earth Mirror …
These creatures are unexpectedly complex. They seem to be a highly developed civilization. However, in this world, they do not occupy a large area. They are insignificant compared to the entire world …
Of course, their technology also has some … flaws.
Based on what we have discovered so far … They don't have a surveillance system in their tunnels, which is why we can easily reach this location.
I will record more information about them … … … … …
…
"Have you finished recording?"
When the Scholar turned off the recording device in the helmet, the hero beside him asked him.
"Yes, I have recorded the situation of the Earth Mirror so far …" The Scholar said, "They … really surprised me."
"What surprised you?" Cryopteris said behind the Scholar, "Is it because they look like barbecue machines?"
"No, I mean them … Forget it, we will talk about it later." The Scholar looked forward and said, "There are still many things to study here."
Now, the exploration team was still in the tunnel with a diameter of more than thirty centimeters. They were all stuck to the top of the tunnel, looking down.
From the previous contact, the Scholar and the others knew the Earth Mirror's range. Although they were still not sure what they were using, as long as they were far enough away. About twenty centimeters away, the Earth Mirror couldn't see them anymore.
That was why they were able to hide well above the Earth Mirror's head. Furthermore, the dwarf who was in charge of courting death was also able to maintain his silence.
This gave the Scholar a chance to observe the Earth Mirror's activities. There were a large number of transparent cubes below, all of which contained charred meat.
Next to these cubes, there were many Earth Mirrors moving. Although they did not seem to be doing anything, as long as the Earth Mirror got close, the cubes would automatically open. The meat inside would fall out and stick to the Earth Mirror's body. Then, the Earth Mirror would take the meat to another place.
As for the empty cubes, the Earth Mirror would soon transport new meat to the cubes.
This place looked like a 'cultivation site.' The Earth Mirror was using the meat to cultivate microorganisms. This was confirmed by the Scholar before.
Now, what he wanted to confirm was what the Earth Mirror was using the microorganisms in the meat for. He could see this by moving his vision slightly.
Not far from the tunnel wall, there was a large … hole. From the Scholar's position, he could see that the inside of the hole was a rock cave.
The Earth Mirror was transporting the meat that it had taken out from the cubes into the cave. Then, it tossed the meat on the ground and walked out. Some of the Earth Mirrors were carrying things when they walked out. They were shiny golden stones.
From the outside, it could be seen that these stones were collected from the cave. There were many of these stones growing on the ground in the cave. Most of them were dull in color, and the brighter ones were brought out by the Earth Mirror.
"Looks like this …" the Scholar said. "They first let the microorganisms live on the meat for a while. When the microorganisms grow to a certain level, they bring them into the cave. At that time, the microorganisms might have the ability to 'create shiny stones.' The stones in the cave are all made by the microorganisms."
"These shiny stones are what the Earth Mirror really needs …" the Scholar said as he recorded everything that had happened.
Susumi, who was beside the Scholar, said, "Looks like they have a very complete way of life."
"Yes …" the Scholar said. "I think we should be able to communicate with them."
"That's impossible. We've already done that," the Brave said. "Besides, it's quite boring to watch from here. We should go down and fight, don't you think so?"
"Woah?" The dwarf realized that the Brave was looking at him, and he immediately shouted, "Woah!"
The moment the dwarf made that sound, the Earth Mirrors that were moving the meat and stones started to panic.
They tossed the meat and stones on the ground and ran away as fast as they could.
"We've been discovered …" the Scholar said. "Looks like their sensing distance is not fixed. But these are workers, and they don't have any weapons. So, they ran away … We can use this chance to …"
"Woah!" The dwarf shouted and jumped into the group of Earth Mirrors that were running away in a hurry. This scared them into running even faster.
"Hurry up and go back …" Before the Scholar could finish, the Hero patted him and said, "Don't be so scared. This is … real adventure!"
Then, the Hero also jumped down with a shout. Then, he ran toward the nearest Earth Mirror and reached out to grab it.
"Look, we caught one!" The Hero shouted to the Scholar. "This is the first time we've caught one alive. We won't have this chance if we keep hiding there!"
"Okay …" the Scholar jumped down and took the Earth Mirror from the Hero. He realized that the Earth Mirror was still twitching, and its surface was flashing with various colors.
This could be seen as it trembling in fear. So, where should he start his research?
"Woah! Ptui! " The dwarf was chewing on the stones that the Earth Mirror had thrown to the ground, but he spat them out as if they tasted disgusting.
Although he did not have the ability to swallow, the mechanical tongue in his mouth still had a sense of taste.
"These stones …" the Scholar picked up a stone and said, "Right, we'll know if these stones are food for the Earth Mirrors after studying them …"
Boom!
Before the Scholar could finish his sentence, there was a burst of fire in front of him. The strong impact sent him flying, and a large number of meat cubes were blasted into pieces. All kinds of shards flew everywhere.
"They came so quickly this time … and they even prepared new weapons."
The Scholar stood up and saw that a large group of Earth Mirrors had appeared in the direction where the Earth Mirror workers had fled. The Earth Mirrors that stood at the front of the group had red lights flashing at their tips. These Earth Mirrors obviously belonged to the 'soldiers' and were equipped with many weapons.
"Hey!" The Hero walked to the Scholar's side and pointed his sword at the Earth Mirror that the Scholar was hugging. "Can't you see that we have … Earth Mirrors? How dare you attack us so casually? "
"Even though they can hear sounds …" the Scholar said. "I don't think they can understand us."
Slap!
The moment the Scholar said that, the Earth Mirror that he was hugging suddenly exploded, and silver blood splattered all over the ground.
"They actually …" The Scholar noticed that the Earth Mirror had exploded because of the soldiers' attack. A few of the soldiers had purposely aimed at the Earth Mirror that the Scholar was hugging.
"Looks like they don't like captives falling into enemy hands …" the Hero raised his sword and said, "So, a fierce battle is inevitable … Gulu, get ready!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" The dwarf spat out all the rocks in his mouth and got into a fighting stance beside the Hero.
"When did you give it a name?" the Scholar gasped. "And you can command it?"
"We met in battle," the Hero said. "Comrades do not need words to understand each other! Go! We will cause a rain of silver blood to fall among them! "
The Hero and the dwarf jumped up from the ground at the same time and charged at the group of Earth Mirrors in the distance.
However, their bodies suddenly stopped with a thud, then fell to the ground from midair.
"What is this?" The Hero reached out his hand and touched a transparent wall that had appeared in front of him at some point.
"Do you think something like this can stop me?" The Hero slashed at the wall with his sword. With a crack, countless cracks spread across the transparent wall like spider webs.
At the same time, a strange noise echoed through the corridor.
"They are heating up the whole space!" the Scholar said loudly. "They want to trap us here and cook us!"
