"Crack … Rumble … Gulp …"
A strange sound reverberated throughout the entire underground cave. It seemed to indicate that something … was being activated.
A creature that looked like a 'spiny pufferfish' had inserted their research on the void cockroaches into the guidance system. Then, the cavern seemed to be activating some sort of device.
The Scholar, like the other creatures, looked around in confusion. Meanwhile, the creatures that looked like spiny pufferfish stood in front of the guidance system, full of anticipation.
"Boom!"
After a while, the entire cavern shook violently. The Scholar found that the ground in the center of the cavern was slowly opening up, and a platform rose from the ground.
"We did it! We did it! It's going to lead us to an ancient city! " The spiny pufferfish cheered and quickly ran to the platform in the middle.
Could it be that they had really figured out how the nerve connections of the Inca bugs worked?
The Scholar looked at this scene and quickly activated its' invisibility system '. Suddenly, the Scholar's body disappeared.
The invisible Scholar quickly ran to the platform and stood next to the spiny pufferfish. No other creatures around noticed its appearance, including the spiny pufferfish.
After more than ten seconds, the platform began to move. It slowly descended, bringing the excited spiny pufferfish and the confused Scholar deep underground.
In fact, the Scholar wanted to see the information on the void cockroaches that the pufferfish had researched, but it was unlikely that it would destroy the guidance system in front of so many creatures. Therefore, it decided to follow the pufferfish first and see if there was a chance to see it later.
Now, it was riding on … an elevator.
The platform continued to descend. Because the body of the pufferfish glowed, the Scholar could clearly see that the surrounding cavern walls were made of metal.
It was … a kind of metal that was the color of mud. There were many complicated symbols on it, and it really did look like something left behind by an ancient civilization.
"Rumble …" The platform slowly came to a stop. The Scholar and the pufferfish found that a cavern had appeared in front of them. The short spiny pufferfish happily jumped out of the cavern. When the Scholar followed them out, what appeared in front of it was … a city.
Was there really … an ancient civilization?
In front of the scholar were countless buildings. Most of them were made of metal and were less than 30 meters tall. Most of them were either gold or brown in color. Even the ground was covered with glittering metal structures.
The light source of the city came from some crystallized creatures. They looked like a type of creature called … bats. They flapped their shiny crystallized wings and flew above the city.
Originally, the scholars thought that the Primordial realm experts would directly take away the information they had gathered and give them some rewards or ignore them. They never thought that there would actually be an ancient city here.
"So this is the legendary city! It can make us stronger than we were in our heyday! "
A few Thorny Pufferfish excitedly ran towards the city that was shining with golden light. When they stepped onto the golden road, the flying … crystal bats suddenly swooped down from the sky.
"Save me!!!"
Suddenly, a Thorny Pufferfish let out a miserable shriek. The Thorny Pufferfish, which was only a meter tall, was lifted into the air by a bat with a wingspan of more than ten meters. This Crystal Bat quickly grabbed the Thorny Pufferfish and flew to the top of the cave.
The scholar looked up as well and discovered that there were many crystals hanging from the ceiling. However, they weren't ordinary crystals. Instead, they were … sculptures of various creatures.
The Thorny Pufferfish that had been caught suffered the same fate. The Crystal Bat first pressed it against the ceiling, and it was stuck there. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't fall off. The Crystal Bat then spat out a large amount of mucus on the Thorny Pufferfish's body. The Thorny Pufferfish stopped moving very quickly. The mucus on its body slowly solidified into crystals, and the Thorny Pufferfish became one of the crystals hanging from the ceiling.
"So that's how it is. Those sculptures are the creatures that the Crystal Bat has stuck to …"
When the Scholar saw this, the remaining Thorny Pufferfish were clearly frightened. They were originally excited, but now, they were fleeing towards a building on the side of the street.
They didn't seem to be carrying any weapons. Did they not think that there would be danger here?
Although the Scholar found it strange, it didn't care too much about it. It followed the Thorny Pufferfish into the building they were hiding in. It was a building over twenty meters tall and made of golden metal.
It looked a little like a 'tower conch'.
Although it looked gorgeous on the outside, it was empty inside. When the Scholar came in, he didn't find any furniture. He only saw a group of Thorny Pufferfish huddled in the corner of the building. Their courage seemed to match their size. They were very small.
The Scholar waited for a while and found that these Thorny Pufferfish were too … cowardly. The boldest thing they did was to look outside. When they saw the bats flying outside, they immediately shrank back. They also discussed and decided to go out and explore after the bats were gone.
Because the Scholar didn't want to wait for them, it was better to … explore outside by himself.
After making the decision, the Scholar walked out of the building. However, it didn't turn off its invisibility mode because it didn't know if the bats were interested in it. Generally speaking, it shouldn't be.
There shouldn't be any metallic creatures here. So far, the Scholar had only found two kinds of creatures. One was non-crystalline, and the other was crystalline. In fact, most of the civilizations it had seen before were non-crystalline. They should be cellular. The air and gravity here were suitable for them, but their bodies were soft. Perhaps most crystalline creatures tended to prey on them.
While thinking about all kinds of problems, the Scholar wandered around the city. None of the buildings here had 'doors', so the Scholar could enter and leave as he pleased.
All the buildings the Scholar went in and out of were empty. Whether they were multi-story buildings or single-story buildings, there was no furniture or anything else inside. The Scholar began to suspect that this city was just a 'setting' put up by the Primordial Realm. There was no real content.
Until … the Scholar came to a building.
The building was more than 30 meters tall. Its golden shell and pumpkin-like shape made it look like a golden pumpkin, and the scholar could also feel that …
"This reaction …"
The reaction of the Life Distortion Device was triggered when the Scholar came to this building. At the same time, the Scholar felt a feeling from this building that could … distort its emotions.
However, this feeling was a little strange. It wasn't like the hypnotic feelings from before. When the Scholar felt this feeling, he felt like he was in the void and was slowly drifting far away.
"I can't believe there's one here …" The Scholar was a little surprised, but she quickly recorded the location of the thing and sent it to the Boilermakers …
"This is …"
At the same time, the Scholar measured the true size of the Life Distortion Device. If it was like the previous one, this golden pumpkin was only the surface. There should be a large structure underground.
Through the investigation, the Scholar found that the Life Distortion Device's underground structure was indeed very large. However, there was another important point: it was connected to all the buildings.
Underneath the golden pumpkin, there were a large number of pipes and other structures. They radiated outwards, connecting every building in the city.
"Could it be … this entire city is a part of the Life Distortion Device?"
The Scholar suddenly had such a thought.
However, when he touched other buildings, the detector didn't react. Only when he touched this golden pumpkin did the detector react. Only then did the Scholar feel that strange feeling.
No matter what, he had to record this place first.
Boom!
Just as the Scholar was about to do so, she suddenly heard an explosion behind her. She turned around and saw billowing smoke rising from the buildings in the distance.
That was … the direction of the city's entrance.
After he finished recording, the Scholar quickly ran toward the entrance. When he arrived, he saw that the golden street near the entrance was filled with all kinds of creatures.
Those were the civilized species he had seen before, including the Dust Crocodile.
Moreover, they were all holding weapons.
"What the hell are you doing? Why are you here? "
The Spiny Pufferfish were still hiding in the building, but they seemed to be very angry as they roared from inside.
"This place belongs to us! The agreement is over! We can't let you monopolize this powerful technology! "
This group of creatures … They all came from above. Their reason for coming was very simple: they wanted to take over this empty city.
Boom! No one knew which creature fired first, but another explosion occurred. The creatures there quickly scattered. Every group of creatures hid behind a nearby building. Using the building as cover, they fired at each other.
The sound of bullets and explosions echoed in the street. The Scholar found that the weapons they used were relatively simple. They used bullets and explosives that weren't very powerful. Therefore, after a long time, they still couldn't kill a single enemy. This battle had evolved into a long war of attrition.
Watching them fight, the Scholar felt that they were very … primitive. For this reason, the Scholar felt that it was strange that they could study the Void Cockroach.
However, they seemed to have a higher level of development in their research. The Scholar remembered that the Dust Crocodile's research tools were quite powerful.
Boom!
