"W- how did they get here?"
The pilots in the mechanical water puppet were all looking at the situation outside. In their field of vision … countless flying creatures were constantly surging. ● Chi.
They were like tornadoes, swirling around the crystalline plains. Seeing the storm formed by the swarm, all the wild crystalline creatures on the plains fled.
Only the mechanical water puppet and the creatures inside remained where they were …
"It's not strange for them to get here." Cryopteris said, "They should have found a way to get here … They should have found it from the Primordial realm."
"Didn't they come here on their own?" The Scholar asked, "Or … Lin …"
"They still don't know how to teleport … Lin wants us to … defeat these Primordial realm experts ourselves." Cryopteris said, "As a result, it's very likely that the Inca swarm has found a way to teleport to this world."
"Lin wants …" The Scholar was confused, "Why?"
"I'm not too sure about the details," Cryopteris said, "But the Primordial realm is a very suitable … opponent."
"Really …" The Scholar looked at the swarm of insects flying past before looking in the direction of the city, "They seem to be flying towards the city right now. Are they going to attack that place? What do we do now? Continue looking for the Primordial realm experts? "
"Of course," Cryopteris said, "We don't need to participate in their battle."
"But …" The Scholar said, "I want to take a look and go with them. Is that okay?"
Cryopteris said, "No problem. Go ahead then. We'll continue looking for the Primordial realm experts."
"Alright, we can keep in contact. I want … to take a closer look at the swarm's battle." With that, the Scholar opened the cockpit and stepped onto the plains outside. She arrived at the edge of the advancing insect army.
"I want to join you … I want to see how you fight. Is that okay?" The Scholar said loudly to the swarm of insects. However, the swarm did not respond to her at all. They continued to advance.
The Scholar was stunned at the edge of the swarm for a while. Afterwards, she directly followed them, heading towards the city in the distance with the swarm.
"She's gone." Cryopteris looked at the back of the Scholar and said to the other two creatures in the cockpit, "Don't you guys want to do something?"
"I've decided to kill it! Kill him! "Scorpion shouted," Why haven't you killed him yet? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on? "
"Quack … Can we go back?" The head of the bloody mist said to Cryopteris, "I want to get a new body. I don't want to be like this all the time. Otherwise, I won't even be able to resist the attacks of a weak scorpion."
"That's right, you can't even defeat a weak scorpion!" The scorpion cried out, "How can you defeat me, an unparalleled, powerful, and invincible ordinary scorpion!"
"Then I'll let you go back first," Cryopteris said, "The place where the Inca swarm appears might have a teleportation point or something …"
As it spoke, the Water Gloom began to run in the direction where the Inca insects had first appeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side …
Rumble!
The sound of a violent explosion reverberated in the air.
The night sky seemed to be burning. Countless red lights danced in the sky and rushed towards the ground.
The ground and tall buildings made of crystals also trembled and collapsed one after another. The moment the red light came into contact with them, they turned into crystal dust and scattered in the air and on the ground …
The group of crystal creatures wandering in the city felt the tremors and sounds of the explosion. They gathered from all over the city and madly rushed towards the invaders.
The invaders did not dodge. Instead, they faced the group of crystal creatures head-on.
They appeared densely on the ruins of the city that had just been bombed. These creatures had black shells and bodies that were more than a meter long.
They were the Void Cockroaches that the Inca insects had been using recently. Hence, their appearance was very similar to cockroaches.
Facing these creatures that had never appeared in this world before, the crystal creatures did not hesitate. They rushed towards the Void Cockroaches in a frenzy. At the same time, the Void Cockroaches also began to charge.
The troops of both sides collided in an instant. The creatures at the front were sent flying by the impact, and the troops at the back followed suit.
They used the simplest methods: cutting, biting, and piercing. They used their various limbs and claws as weapons and risked their lives to kill their opponents.
"This is really … spectacular."
Although they were also black, there was something that was obviously different in shape from the Void Cockroaches. It was … the Scholar.
Countless Void Cockroaches around the Scholar kept rushing forward and fighting with the group of crystal creatures. It was as if the Scholar was air in the eyes of the Void Cockroaches. They completely ignored the Scholar.
Therefore, the Scholar could also come to a place so close to the battlefield to watch the battle. However, rather than calling it a battle, it was better to call it a 'devouring'.
Because the strength of both sides was not equal, the Void Cockroaches' black army was quickly nibbling away at the army of crystal creatures. Although they were small in size, these Void Cockroaches could easily tear apart the crystal creatures.
The crystal creatures were defeated in the process of battle. As they shattered one by one, the Void Cockroaches slowly dyed the glittering city black.
As for the crystal creatures … they were no longer as crazy as before. After they realized the strength of the enemy, they began to … retreat.
Only a small number of crystal creatures were still fighting. Most of the crystal creatures had escaped and gathered in the depths of the city.
The army of Void Cockroaches continued to chase after them, and the Scholar followed the group of Void Cockroaches into the depths of the city. At this time, the Scholar noticed the flying objects in the sky.
The flying objects moved and quickly descended from the sky. When they landed on the ground, they opened up some holes around their bodies. The surrounding crystal creatures kept pouring into those holes.
It looked like they wanted to escape on the flying objects.
In front of the Scholar was a huge flying object with a diameter of more than thirty meters. It was now on the ground, allowing the surrounding crystal creatures to enter it.
However, the swarm did not let them go. On the ground, a Void Cockroach suddenly spread its wings and jumped into the sky. It flew over a large number of crystal creatures and flew toward the flying object.
All the surrounding insects did the same at the same time. A large group of Void Cockroaches instantly crawled all over the spherical object. Then, the Scholar heard a crunching sound coming from the sphere.
It sounded like … the Void Cockroaches were biting the sphere.
It was indeed biting the ball. After a while, the Scholar Walker saw many crystal fragments falling from the Void Cockroach, and the ball began to tremble.
It seemed to feel pain. The Scholar watched as it flew up shakily, ignoring the large group of crystal creatures that had not entered it.
It slowly flew into the air, but the Void Cockroaches on it continued to bite it. A large number of crystal fragments fell down like snow.
As the Void Cockroaches tore at it, the sphere's flying speed became slower and slower. Finally, it flew to a height of nearly sixty meters and stopped moving.
After a few seconds, the entire ball began to fall. Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a large number of crystallized creatures were completely crushed into powder.
As for the flying ball itself, it had also been reduced to pieces on the ground.
The Void Cockroaches spread out from the fragments, and the entire insect swarm continued to move forward. They divided into many groups and went to every street, as if they were going to completely flood the city.
The Scholar was a little hesitant because it did not know which group to follow. If there were no special accidents, the insect swarm would definitely win this battle. And it would win with the simplest group.
"What's this?"
As the Scholar walked, it suddenly noticed a piece of … crystal.
This piece of crystal should have flown out from the sphere that shattered after it fell. In fact, these fragments were scattered all over the ground. However, this one was a little different from the other fragments around it. It was a complete square, about thirty centimeters in size.
The other fragments were all irregular in shape, but this one was complete. The Scholar thought it must be something special, so it picked it up.
"It's like a mirror … What is this for?" The Scholar carefully looked at the crystal, which reflected its current mechanical appearance.
"Am I really … ugly?"
Looking at its own appearance, the Scholar could not help but think of the previous incident. It felt a little … depressed.
Although it had always reminded itself that it did not matter, and it would not become the Emerald Dragon's partner anyway, but …
"Ah?"
The Scholar was shocked. Suddenly, it realized that its reflection in the mirror … made an expression, and it was very sure that it did not make such an expression.
"What's going on?" The Scholar remembered some of the horror movies it had watched before. There were often similar scenes in those movies, but now … Why was it like this?
"Ah!"
When the Scholar thought about it, she was shocked again. That was because a pitch-black thing with a terrifying face suddenly appeared in the mirror.
This thing was the Void Cockroach. When the Scholar turned its head, it saw a Void Cockroach lying on its back and looking at the mirror with it.
"What are you doing?" the Scholar asked the Void Cockroach, but it did not answer.
"Oh right … It seems like this one can't speak." The Scholar remembered that it had read some information about the Inca insect swarm. Most of the Inca insect swarm could not speak any language, and only a few special ones could communicate with each other.
