"If that's the case … it'll be fine." "Yes."
Under the dark red sky, a ship was flying slowly.
Under the ship, there was something much bigger than the ship … a wreckage.
The wreckage used to be a battleship, but it didn't look like one anymore.
It was mainly because many 'creatures' were constantly eroding it. Many huge machines like the Ankylosaurus were around. They had already eaten the outer shell of the battleship clean and ate the insides of the battleship. As long as it was made of metal, it would be melted and decomposed by them.
However, the core of the battleship wasn't destroyed by them. It was the ship in the sky.
It was slowly flying towards the sky, and a huge piece of metal was hanging under the ship.
This piece of metal had the name … 'Engine.' It was just dug out from the battleship. Cryopteris decided to use it to modify the ship and fly it into the Void.
Blood Mist's mechanical water puppet also returned to the ship, ending the dangerous mission of activating the 'Courage System' below … At least, Blood Mist thought it was dangerous.
"Now, you can just stay here and stare blankly." Cryopteris said, "Of course, you can also observe the process of modifying the engine, although I don't think you'll understand."
The Explosive Beetle spoke to Sanguine Mist as it operated to retrieve the engine. Sanguine Mist was a little 'unconvinced' when he heard that. "Even if that's the case, I can still learn …"
"Do you want to be an engineer in the future?" Cryopteris asked, "So you want to learn these things?"
"No." Blood Mist said, "I want to be a great adventurer, so I need to have a detailed understanding of all kinds of things, so …"
"So you still don't understand." Cryopteris said, "But you can do whatever you want because there's no mission for you to do at the moment."
"… I'll go take a look at the scenery." Blood Mist left the cockpit and rode the mechanical water puppet to the deck of the ship. It came to the edge of the deck and looked at the sky outside.
"Caw?" When the blood mist looked at the boundless dark red, it suddenly realized that something was flying towards it at high speed.
"I came back here and brought this thing back." The flying creature landed on the ship with a bang, followed by the voice of an annoyed dragon, "I did well, didn't I?"
"You … where did you go?" Sanguine Fog looked at Scorpion who had landed on the deck and was wearing a protective suit and said, "What did you bring? Is it the captain? "
Scorpion said angrily, "Captain? What's that … Captain? Yes, it's not a captain. It's definitely not a captain. It's something useful. It has research value. "
"…" The blood mist did not reply. It felt that the scorpion's attitude was very … strange. Then, it looked … at the thing that the scorpion had brought back.
Only then did it notice that it was an Incan bug troop, the Void Cockroach. However, it wasn't a normal Void Cockroach because it had lost its head and a few of its limbs were broken. Its body was full of holes, and it seemed to have suffered serious injuries.
"Where was this found?"
Cryopteris' voice was heard. Scorpion immediately replied, "It was found there."
"Where did you find it?" The Explosive Roar Bug asked.
"That's the place! There are many of these things there! " Scorpion said, "I thought that you might care about it, so I brought it back. This thing is very light. It's probably empty!"
"So, you didn't find the captain?" Cryopteris said, "Then let's go to that place. You lead the way."
"Very well, I will bring you to a suitable place." Scorpion said as it crawled towards the cabin. Only the remains of the Void Cockroach and Blood Mist were left on the deck.
"Wait!" Blood Mist was stunned for a moment, then it dragged the Void Cockroach and ran towards the cabin.
…
"So, this is the same as the previous one."
In the cockpit, the three creatures looked at the image in front of them. The image showed the specific situation of the Void Cockroach … It was the same as the previous troop. The spare cells in its body were trying to repair various structures, but it still could not repair the nervous system.
"That's right." Cryopteris said, "It seems that the Inca insects will be affected here. And this one might have just arrived. The wounds on its body are very fresh. I think it was teleported here immediately after it was killed."
"Was this done by a Primordial realm expert?" Blood Mist asked, "Why would they do this?"
"I don't know yet. I only know one thing … that scorpion is a fake," Cryopteris said to Scorpion, who was standing beside it.
"Why am I a fake?" Scorpion took a few steps back. It seemed that it did not know what to do.
"Wah!" Cryopteris suddenly roared. Scorpion was immediately sent flying as if it had been hit by a huge impact. It slammed into the wall heavily.
"Hurry up! Stab it to death! " Cryopteris yelled at Blood Mist. Blood Mist was stunned for a moment. Then, it immediately controlled the robot to lunge forward and stab the scorpion on the ground with its forelimbs.
However, Scorpion dodged in advance and ran towards the entrance. Blood Mist saw this and leaped forward. The robot landed in front of Scorpion. At the same time, it stabbed the scorpion's body with its forelimbs.
"Gah … This is …" After piercing through the scorpion, Blood Mist realized that the scorpion was still writhing on the spot. A large amount of silver liquid was sputtering out from the pierced part. It looked very strange. Originally, the scorpion called Elder would not bleed this color of blood.
Beep beep beep. Cryopteris poked the control panel. A hole suddenly opened in the ground. Cryopteris said, "Throw it into that hole."
"Caw …" After Blood Mist tossed the 'scorpion' into the hole, the control panel immediately rang out. Afterwards, a few images popped up, displaying the internal structure of the 'scorpion'.
Its appearance was identical to the Elder Scorpion, and it was also wearing a protective suit … However, upon further analysis, both the Roaring Beetle and Sanguine Mist realized that the protective suit was just a layer of 'skin' that looked the same but did not have any function. However, its tail had the ability to fly, and that was how it had flown here.
However, the internal structure of the scorpion seemed to be completely filled with silver liquid …
"Yes, it's a creature similar to the Primordial realm," said Cryopteris, "They're very similar."
"Why … similar?" Blood Mist asked, "Isn't it the Primordial realm itself?"
"There are many parts that are different." Cryopteris said, "To put it simply, these things are more primitive. They don't have very high intelligence, and the parts that can think are around fifty percent smaller than the Primordial realm. It's not intelligent enough to disguise itself and infiltrate us. Someone … must have ordered it to come here."
Blood Mist said, "Anyway … the original scorpion has been killed, and the creature that killed it created its disguise to be a spy … Isn't that wonderful … terrible?"
"Not necessarily …" Cryopteris said, "The scorpion might not necessarily be dead."
"It should be dead," said Blood Mist. "I saw that the Primordial realm experts only transformed after eating minced meat. This scorpion's disguise must have been made after eating a scorpion."
"No matter what, we'll run into the mastermind of this disguise," said Cryopteris, "And the spy earlier … didn't seem to have led us to the wrong place."
Beep. Cryopteris opened a screen. It showed the scenery below the ship.
The ground below the ship was covered with … a large number of remains of Void Cockroaches.
The Void Cockroaches seemed to have replaced the rocks and metal from before, becoming the main pile of trash here. There were so many of them that they had obscured the things beneath them.
Moreover, the Void Cockroaches all looked the same. They were all heavily injured. Regular creatures would have died from such injuries long ago, but since they were Inca insects, the Void Cockroaches might not have died yet.
It was just that their spare cells could not repair their nervous systems, so none of them could move again.
"There's actually so many …" Blood Mist looked at the screen in surprise. Not all of them were Void Cockroaches. There would be a huge soldier mixed in from time to time, but it was similar to a Void Cockroach. It was heavily injured, "Why are there so many remains here?"
"It should be a battle between the Inca insects and the Primordial realm experts." Cryopteris said, "The corpses from the battle have all been sent here. Their nervous systems are constantly affected, and they can't be repaired."
"Are they all like this …" Blood Mist asked, "If a soldier with an undamaged nervous system was sent here, what would happen?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe that soldier wouldn't be sent here." Cryopteris said, "The Inca insects here have all suffered severe brain damage … The scorpion seems to be in that position."
A beeping sound came from the screen. Blood Mist saw a red dot flashing there. He said in surprise, "Is the scorpion still alive?"
"At least the protective suit is still alive." Cryopteris said, "I've been trying to track it, but I couldn't find it. It seemed to be blocked by something, but I found it now. Maybe it's because we're close to it."
"Alright, I hope it's only the protective suit," said Blood Mist.
"Then, just like before," Cryopteris said, "You go down and find it."
