"This is …"
"This was left behind by one of your kind."
This was a dark cave, known as the 'Cave of Pinnacle Records'.
A ship was currently docked at a certain spot in the cave, and there were three creatures on the deck. They were all looking at … something that they had found not long ago.
"Quack, I know this thing … It's called a 'dream recorder'." Blood Fog, who was on the mechanical water puppet, looked at the helmet-like thing and said, "It can record the content in one's mind and then play it back to other contacts. This is very common in dreams, and it has been given as a reward in real life as well …"
"In other words, a group of emerald dragons have been here before." Cryopteris said, "They first came to … the crystal world, then to the abandoned world, and then to this place through the door."
"Based on the memory of the Courage System, it only captured one emerald dragon and did not encounter a whole group of emerald dragons."
"Perhaps it was one that got lost …" Blood Fog said, "But this group has been wiped out, and only this message was left … This seems to mean that we have to die here to become the pinnacle of species?"
"That should be the case." Cryopteris said, "But it also said that it communicated with something here, and that thing gave … it many explanations. It wanted to find it, but there was no mention of its location. However, there is indeed something here that was sending out brainwave signals, but that signal has disappeared."
"Could it be around here?" Blood Fog looked at the holes filled with green sand and said, "There are so many holes here, perhaps …"
"Let's look around here," Cryopteris said. "The two of you."
"What? Why do we have to go there? "Scorpion said." This place … "
"This place is not dangerous," Cryopteris said. The Explosive Roar Bug said, "It's mentioned in there, so you two go look for it. Just make sure you don't fall into the pits. I'll continue my research here."
"Quack, so be it." Blood Fog did not complain. It quickly climbed down the ship, and Scorpion had no choice but to follow.
The Cryopteris remained in the ship. It returned to the cabin and began to control the ship … capturing the nearby creatures.
There was only one kind of creature in the vicinity, which was something that looked like a slug. On the surface, they looked almost exactly the same as the slugs in the pompom world. Even the area where they lived was very similar.
When the Cryopteris caught them for research, they discovered that these slugs … could be said to be a type of 'cyborg'. A large part of their body was made of metal.
For example, its' stomach 'was like that. This type of slug's stomach had countless tiny' spikes' that it could use to break down the things it swallowed.
This kind of decomposition was very … meticulous. It could disassemble a cell or virus. At the same time, there was a 'synchronous communication device' in their bodies.
This thing would send detailed information to a certain place while the slug was decomposing the contents of its body.
This was also why … the creatures that were decomposed by it would be recorded and then become the pinnacle species.
However, these slugs would only decompose dead things. They were not interested in living things and would not cause any harm to living things.
Perhaps, the things that they decomposed would indeed be reconstructed in another place, so they needed to send the complete information … out.
Then, the Cryopteris studied the … green sand in the sandpit.
These sand grains had some strange characteristics.
They were actually some very sophisticated … mechanical structures. Emitting light was one of their functions.
They could react to the things in front of them and reflect the corresponding light. They could also receive information from the slug and show the recorded species.
They also had many other abilities … For example, they could make cells' grow abnormally '.
Cryopteris deduced that the way they dealt with the Emerald Dragons was like this … The sand grains first cut a large number of wounds on the Emerald Dragons' mouths, then caused the cells on the Emerald Dragons' lips to grow abnormally.
This abnormal growth caused the cells on both sides to stick together, causing the Emerald Dragons' mouths to be completely sealed and unable to eat. Then, the Emerald Dragons would starve to death.
However, this method could only be used to deal with cellular creatures. How did they deal with other species? According to the records … there were many different creatures that came here, and most of them were not cellular creatures.
Therefore, the Cryopteris did a test and threw a moving machine into the sandpit. However, this machine did not receive any reaction from the sand grains.
Cryopteris thought that the sand grains might be able to distinguish between living and non-living things …
However, these things here were not very special. What the Cryopteris cared about was … who commanded these sand grains?
What kind of creature … or what kind of thing was in charge of this place? This would depend on whether the blood mist and scorpions could find it.
How long would it take?
With this idea in mind, the Cryopteris conducted research while observing the path of the blood mist and scorpions.
They had already explored many places, but all they saw were sandpits and slugs. They did not find anything suspicious that was sending out brainwaves.
This process lasted for three days and nights. The blood mist had already traveled more than a hundred kilometers, but all they saw were caves. However, the Cryopteris did not call them back. Instead, it asked them to continue searching.
Cryopteris continued to send out messages while conducting research … The target of the messages was the Incan swarm.
Although it did not know if the swarm could receive it, Cryopteris continued to send out messages. It had been doing this for a long time.
At this moment, Cryopteris suddenly received … a reply.
The reply was not sent by the Incan swarm. Cryopteris could even detect the direction of the reply. It was in this cave.
Moreover, the letter stated that they could directly become the pinnacle species. As long as they came to a certain place in the cave, they could … become the pinnacle species without 'dying'.
