"Has it discovered our location?"
While the Scholar and Hero were still puzzled, the black shards had already disappeared into the large number of vines in front of them.
"Don't let it get away!" Cryopteris said. "In that split second, it knew the location of your real bodies, and it's heading in that direction!"
"What?" The Scholar was shocked. "How … could it be …"
"It might be able to sense the energy of the dream," Cryopteris said. "Don't stop here, move quickly!"
"… Understood!"
The Hero and the Scholar quickly left the sphere where the rift worms lived and reached the forest outside. They started to run back in the direction they came from.
"It's now in that position!" While running, Cryopteris also sent the Scholar and the Hero a location information. "It is indeed tracking your connection, but it will also expose its location. You just need to catch up to it and get rid of it."
"It doesn't seem that simple …" The Scholar said as she ran. "That thing seems difficult to deal with, and why is it attacking us? It should be attacking us because we're machines. "
"I don't know, maybe it's not attacking you because it wants to eat metal," Cryopteris said. "It's hard to guess the reason before we get familiar with it."
"It's okay, I have another mode," the Hero said. "I can use that mode to get rid of it … but the problem now is that we're not as fast as it!"
Through the information sent by the hierarch, the Scholar and the Hero could sense their target's location. The black blob was indeed faster than them.
Although they were running, with the help of the propulsion system, they were almost as fast as flying. However, this was mainly because they were in a dense 'forest', where there were many strange and huge objects. Flying at high speed here was easy to bump into these things, and it was easier to control the direction when running.
This was because their speed was much faster than when they were chasing after the Voidfolk controlled by the rift worms, even if the mechanical bodies had great reflexes. They did not dare to fly at this speed.
But in this way, the distance between them would slowly widen, which made them want to fly over directly.
"It's slowing down?" Just as the Scholar was at a loss for what to do, she suddenly noticed that the black blob had slowed down. Although they were still flying in the direction of their main bodies, at this speed … they would be able to catch up.
In this way, the chase in the forest continued for some time. The Scholar found that the target was getting closer and closer to them, and slowly, they were able to see it.
"It's there!"
When the scenery of the jungle was over. A vast, shining plain appeared in front of them. This was the Mirror Pit Plain. They were already quite close to the base.
The Scholar and the Hero also saw that the black mass was flying across the plains at an extremely fast speed towards the base in the distance.
"Oh no … we might not make it in time!"
Although the distance between the two sides was closing, the Scholar could feel that the black cloud would reach the base before they could.
The soldiers and defense systems in the base were not complete. They could not possibly stop the black cloud. The black cloud was about to reach the top of the base's walls!
Bang!
However, an explosion stopped it.
Under the smoke and fire of the explosion, the fragments of the black cloud scattered everywhere. They were all scattered on the ground of the plain, and a lot of them were scattered on the mirror pit in the ground.
However, the black cloud did not seem to be … dead.
The fragments trembled on the ground and gathered in one direction, as if they were trying to return to their original form.
First, a fragment flew to the ground, then a second fragment flew from afar and stuck to it, then a third fragment, and then …
It only managed to reassemble three fragments. The remaining fragments did not reassemble successfully because there was a … pompom where they reassembled.
The pompom stretched out its fur and caught almost all the fragments that flew over to reassemble. This meant that they could not reassemble into a single entity.
The Scholar and the Hero came before the pompom. The Hero said to the pompom, "Why are you here again? The demon king? "
The Scholar, on the other hand, looked at the pompom with surprise … and some excitement. It did not say anything.
However, it noticed. The fragments that were caught by the pompom's fur kept trembling as if they were trying to break free, but it seemed very difficult.
"You seem to have encountered something very dangerous," the pompom said. "You should have heard of the creature called the dream-eater before."
"I …" The Hero wanted to say something, but the Scholar immediately said, "Yes! I have heard of that creature! "
"…?" The Hero looked at the Scholar. He felt that the Scholar's emotions were very different from before.
"Recently, it left its original home and went into the void," the pompom said. "And its destination is here. However, I am not sure of its exact location, but this creature seems to be related to it. "
The pompom brought one of the fragments to the Scholar's eyes and said, "Each of them has a different shape, but their functions are similar. Their abilities are like what you see now. They can reassemble to do various things, but … it seems like before they reassemble to a certain number, they will not do anything other than reassemble.
However, as for the details of their abilities, you will need to study them in detail … In any case, you should continue your exploration. I will send you their information later. "
After that, the pompom reached out more fur to grab the three fragments on the ground and split them apart. Then, it flew back to the base.
"… Seems like there is nothing else for us to do?" The Hero said, "Then let's continue our exploration. With it here, we don't need to worry about the safety of our bodies."
"… Yes," the Scholar said. "Then let's continue."
At the same time, in the base …
"I've found the door." The pompom was in front of a 3D projection device. In the projection was a metallic spider. It was talking to the pompom, "What do we do? Do we go in? "
"We can go in and explore first," the pompom said. "After a while, Maya might come to your place."
After that, the pompom turned off the projection.
There were now quite a few exploration parties, but Lin felt that there were still not enough.
