"It really is similar to … fear energy."
"It's just a different form."
A ball of fluff was floating somewhere, and in front of the ball of fluff was a creature called the Scholar.
This was the Scholar's … main body.
It had always been exploring everywhere with its mechanical body, while its main body was in this … safe place.
The furry ball would poke the Scholar from time to time. It could sense some of the things the mechanical body encountered from its main body, such as the distorted energy. At the same time, it could wake the Scholar up when it was affected by powerful energy. At the same time, it could make some long-distance adjustments to the mechanical body, ensuring that it remained hidden from the detection of the Primordial realm.
The furry ball had discovered some interesting things before, such as the distortion devices of the Primordial realm.
These distortion devices were similar to fear energy. They could affect the emotions of living creatures, except they produced many other emotions …
Now, the furry ball discovered that the Scholar seemed to have encountered some interesting things.
… … …
The ground here was covered in small spikes made of crystals. They were shiny and tough, and there were usually many of them. They covered the ground, which was why they were called crystal grasses.
However, the grasses here were not as gentle as other grasses. They would shoot out of the ground from time to time, piercing the bodies of passing prey with their sharp shells.
"Argh!" As a result, a series of miserable cries rang out.
"Is it dead?" The Scholar was currently hiding behind a crystalline rock. It poked its head out and looked ahead. A creature covered in crystal grasses was lying in the small path between two buildings.
This creature was the civilization that had established this city. They were called Dust Crocodiles. They looked a little like the crocodiles of the furry ball world, which was why the Scholar called them that. As for why they were called dust, it was because large amounts of white dust would fall off their bodies when they walked.
Their skin was white, sparkling like crystals, and they were soft. Therefore, when they passed by the 'crystal grass', they could be pierced by the 'crystal grass' by jumping up.
Next to this pierced Dust Crocodile, there were 3 other Dust Crocodiles walking by. These Dust Crocodiles didn't care about their companion who was pierced and continued walking on their own path.
The Dust Crocodiles that ignored their companions were dragging a few corpses. The Scholar was very familiar with them, as they were all corpses of Void Cockroaches.
The Scholar wanted to investigate because it had seen them above. They seemed to be dragging the corpses of the Void Cockroaches somewhere.
Thus, the Scholar secretly followed behind them.
After following the three Dust Crocodiles for a while, Zhao Hai noticed that there were a lot of Crystal Grasses growing everywhere in the ruins. The Dust Crocodiles would deliberately avoid them, but they were very … reluctant to do so. Sometimes, they would even walk right next to the Crystal Grasses.
As long as the Crystal Grass was touched, it would jump up and pierce through them. Once it jumped up, the others would jump up and pierce through the target that stepped on them. After the Scholar sent out the information, Cryopteris said that the mines used by the Primordial Realm might have been designed according to the Crystal Grass.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Suddenly, the Scholar heard a noise coming from all over its body. It turned out that it had accidentally touched a crystal grass, causing all the crystal grass to crash into its body.
However, they couldn't pierce through its metal shell, so they were all sent flying to the side.
The Scholar was shocked. It wanted to run away, but it soon realized that the three Dust Crocodiles didn't even look back. Instead, they continued to drag the body of the Void Cockroach away.
Did they not hear him, or did they not care, or were they crazy?
The Scholar thought about it as it followed them to a building.
This building looked as dilapidated as the others. It was shaped like a conch shell, and it was covered in holes as if it had been hit by a hail of bullets.
The Scholar followed the three Dust Crocodiles inside. It was an open space, and there were many … Dust Crocodiles in the building.
They were gathered in groups of three to six, and there were usually one or two corpses of the Void Cockroach in the center of their groups.
The Scholar noticed that most of the corpses had been dissected into many pieces, as if they were practicing … dissection.
Although the Scholar walked in, the Dust Crocodiles continued to do their own things as if they didn't see it. The Scholar noticed a Dust Crocodile in the center of the room. It was different from the other Dust Crocodiles; it was alone.
Moreover, it wasn't a corpse in front of it, but a three-dimensional image. The image displayed … the contents of the corpse.
The Scholar Scholar walked over and took a closer look. Although it couldn't understand what was written on it, it could tell that it was an anatomical diagram of the Void Cockroach. The diagram showed the positions of many of its organs, and there should be a detailed description of its functions.
In other words … They were studying the Void Cockroach here?
"I can't find the nerve connector … Then where is it?"
Just as the Scholar was puzzled, the Dust Crocodile suddenly spoke.
It was the language of the Primordial Realm. In fact, it was a language that the Primordial Realm customized for the peak species that used sound to communicate. The Scholar's device had the relevant information, so it could understand.
Normally, only the peak species that had developed to a certain extent would use this language. Normal peak species, such as those that had just arrived on the platform, didn't use this language.
The Scholar knew this very well, but it didn't know why the Dust Crocodile would use this language.
In fact, it was very strange that the Dust Crocodile was here. Why was it here? Logically speaking, no peak species would be in this world.
Because no species had ever come close to the Mirror World, except for the Primordial Realm.
Thinking about it, the Scholar asked the Dust Crocodile, "You … What are you doing?"
It mainly wanted to see how the Dust Crocodile would react to it. It had been … for a long time.
"Who are you?" The Dust Crocodile glanced at the Scholar and continued to look at its screen.
"… What's wrong with it?" Seeing the Dust Crocodile's reaction, the Scholar felt very strange. It was as if the Dust Crocodile treated it as one of its own. Therefore, the Scholar continued to ask, "Are you studying … the insects here?"
