"Look, that seems to be their base camp …"
It was six meters tall and weighed more than ten tons. Its entire body was gray and extremely hard. It was just … an ordinary rock. ● Hiss.
On this ordinary rock, there were a few creatures that were acting as mechanical versions of themselves.
The Hero, the Scholar, the Gnome … and the Cryopteris. They were looking at something unusual about a hundred meters in front of them.
This thing was mainly spherical and very similar to the one the Scholar and the Gnome had seen before. Its surface was full of holes, but this one was more than sixty meters in diameter, much larger than the previous one.
The Scholar and the Hero came here mainly because they found that the Voidfolk that were controlled by the 'Rift Worms' had all escaped to this place.
So the Scholar and the Hero decided to come here and see … what was going on here. They were mainly chasing after a kind of creature.
This creature looked like a small green grain of sand, but it was actually a small flying creature. They would attack various cellular targets in a large scale.
But before that, they needed to use a series of more complicated methods to confirm that the target was' easy to bully 'before attacking.
For example, when the Hero injured the creature controlled by the Rift Worms, the group of 'Green Sand' sensed it and launched a large-scale attack on the target.
Then, the Rift Worms rode on the creature they controlled and escaped, while the Green Sand continued to chase after the target. And no matter how far the target flew, the Green Sand would continue to send reinforcements from the starting point.
The Hero and the Scholar followed the Green Sand to this place, and at the same time, they found that the other Voidfolk thieves had all escaped to this place.
The Scholar decided to study this place, so they observed it for a while. Until now, they had not seen any Voidfolk come out, so the Scholar wanted to take a look.
"Then let us go!" The Hero pointed his sword at the distant spherical object and said, "I want to cut that thing open!"
"Wait!" But the Scholar stopped him and said, "I just received some information, this information is from … the Hierarch."
Saying that, the Scholar gently touched his forehead, and suddenly a three-dimensional image popped up in front of him, showing some words and pictures.
"He wants us to find these creatures." The Scholar pointed at the picture in the image, which showed the appearance of a creature, "This creature is related to the creatures in the Pompom …"
Hero asked, "What kind of connection is that?"
"It has something to do with the brain-creating monsters …" The Scholar said, "In order to investigate them. The imam also came to this place, although he didn't come 'personally'. "
"Really? I don't know much about these things, "the hero said." Will it be difficult to find them? "
"You don't have to go out of your way to look for it." The Scholar said, "If you see it, just tell it … Then let's move on."
"Oh! Let's go! Gulp! "
The Scholar and his team quickly approached the huge spherical object in front of them, just like before. When they got closer, they crouched at the relatively large hole and looked inside.
"… I can't see clearly."
Inside the sphere, a large number of intertwining vines blocked the vision of the Scholar and the Hero, preventing them from seeing what was inside.
However, some strange noises could be heard coming from the inside. It sounded like metal clanging against metal.
"We should go in and take a look," Hero said. "Just cut these things open …"
"Wait a minute." Compared to the Hero who wanted to cut the vines, the Scholar looked at the vines carefully and said, "Look. These … rift worms live on them. "
"Live on them?" Puzzled, the Hero adjusted his view to Microscopic Mode and imitated the Scholar to look at the vine closest to him.
In microscopic mode, Hero saw … many transparent pipes protruding from the vines, and a large number of rift worms were moving back and forth in the pipes.
"So, these pipes are where they live …" Hero said. "It feels like a street …"
"I know. This should be their main living area," the Scholar said. The Scholar said, "This should be a real city or … a kingdom. They send out troops here to occupy other creatures in the distance. These occupied creatures should be able to be used as weapons or something else. Yes … this should be their way of life."
As Scholar spoke, she opened her recording system and recorded everything that they had encountered into a diary.
Hero looked at the Scholar and said, "You've done a lot of research, but I just want to know. What will happen if you cut them down? "
"You can try," the Scholar said. Cryopteris, who was on the Scholar's shoulder, said, "You can use any … possible method to try to deal with them."
"Then let's see what happens!" Hero quickly picked up his sword and slashed at the nearest vine. However, to his surprise, he did not hit the target.
The vines suddenly shrunk inwards, and the Hero's sword missed.
However, Hero obviously would not stop there. He jumped into the hole and slashed at the vines everywhere.
After the sword light flashed, a vine was cut in half. The Hero could see a large number of Rift Worms falling out of the broken vine with a microscopic view.
Falling on the ground here was not as scary as falling on the ground outside. The rift worms did not die immediately, and they were not attacked by any microorganisms. In fact, there were many small holes in the ground. When the rift worms fell on the ground, they all crawled into the holes.
From a microscopic point of view, the Hero also saw many Rift Worms jumping out from the broken surface. Then, they flew toward him.
These rift worms were equipped with some equipment. Using this equipment, they could fly in the air. They flew to Hero's body in groups and then kept … attacking.
Their attacks ranged from hammer-like objects to releasing liquids that seemed to be dissolving liquids, and some even self-destructed upon contact.
But no matter what method they used. They could not cause any damage to Hero's shell.
At this time, the gnome also noticed these subtle objects in the air. Although its mechanical body did not have the ability to see microscopic things, it could sense them through its sense of smell.
"Wow!"
The gnome opened its mouth and inhaled hard into the air. A large number of flying rift worms were sucked in by the gnome.
Unlike the miniature version, this gnome's mechanical body had a devouring function and could quickly heat up anything it swallowed.
Therefore, it was difficult for the rift worms to survive in the gnome's stomach.
Hero did not care so much. He directly used his sword to cut off the vines one by one and moved toward the place where the sound came from.
This process did not last long. Hero quickly cut off a large number of vines and arrived at the place where the sound of metal colliding was heard. It was the center of the spherical object.
But after arriving, Hero did not see the object that made the sound of metal colliding. He only saw an empty space without any vines.
In the empty space stood the thieves, Voidfolk, and some other creatures. They were all there motionless, as if they were … machines that had stopped moving.
"They brought the occupied creatures here?"
The Scholar followed behind. When she saw the Voidfolk here, she immediately ran over to the nearest Voidfolk and began to carefully observe and study.
"Sure enough, the rift worms inside seem to have escaped," the Scholar said. "So they can't move now, but …"
Clang!
"This sound …" Hearing the sudden sound, the Scholar and Hero could not help but look around, but they did not find anything.
However, the Scholar's detection system detected some … activity.
It found that something was rapidly approaching its position …
"Be careful!" As the Hero cried out, the ground beneath the Scholar's feet suddenly burst open. A shadow as long as a blade flew out from the ground and slashed across the Scholar's chest, leaving a … crack.
"What is this?" The Scholar looked at the crack on his body in shock. This thing seemed to have only slashed lightly and cut open the sturdy outer shell.
Although the wound was not deep, it still showed that the attack was very powerful.
Then, the Scholar immediately looked at the thing that cut him. It was about ten meters in front of him … It looked like a … black object.
However, upon closer inspection, it seemed to be made of many small and different-shaped fragments. It did not have a fixed shape, but its overall size was about the same as the Scholar's, and its shape was constantly changing.
It seemed to have turned into a blade-like shape and rushed out from the ground, leaving a mark on the Scholar's breastplate.
"Is this also controlled by the rift worms?" The Hero took out his sword and pointed at the black object. "It doesn't look like it."
"I don't think so either," the Scholar said. "It should have nothing to do with the rift worms. It's a different kind of creature … and it's not a cell type. Perhaps its composition is similar to ours, so it's targeting us."
Just as the Scholar was speaking, the black object moved again. The tiny fragments that formed it quickly regrouped, turning its body into the shape of a spear. It attacked the Scholar again.
However, before the spear could reach the Scholar, a hero rushed forward and slashed the spear in the middle. The spear was split in half, and a large number of small fragments fell to the ground.
However, in less than a second, the small fragments regrouped, but this time, they did not attack again. Instead, they flew in another direction.
"Go after it!" Cryopteris suddenly said. "It found … our position!"
