"Let this thing be infected as well."
In the forest of crystals, all sorts of strange creatures cried out. The strangest cry came from two of them.
They communicated in the language of the Emerald Dragons, a language that had never appeared in this crystal world … or rather, the Mirror World.
"I wonder what kind of effect it will cause …"
Looking at the huge tower-like object in front of her, the Scholar raised her arm.
It was a Life Distortion Device. The Scholar had seen it before and recorded its location. Now, she had returned here and planned to put the little Core Protector inside.
Since it was not a living creature, the Distortion Device should not go crazy. However, there should be some effect … What effect would it have?
A spherical object flew out and exploded on the surface of the Distortion Device.
Then …
"Nothing special seems to have happened." The Scholar could not detect any special reaction from the Distortion Device. The energy inside did not seem to have changed either.
"Won't this thing go crazy?" The Scorpion had a similar question. "If that's the case, then let's blow it up."
Boom!
As soon as the Scorpion's voice trailed off, a rumbling sound came from the distant sky. The Scholar turned her head and saw dozens of crystal flying machines flying towards them.
"Hide first!" Seeing this, the Scholar quickly retreated and hid in a pile of crystal shrubs after a crisp collision sound.
The Scorpion did not move from its spot. It even shouted to the Scholar, "No need to hide, those mirrors won't find —"
Beep! Before it could finish speaking, a ray of light fell from the sky and made a small, smoking hole one meter in front of the scorpion.
Then, countless rays of light scattered like raindrops. They hit the ground, the crystal plants, and even the Distortion Device, creating a large number of holes.
These rays even covered the entire forest of crystals. Many crystal creatures were pierced through and fell to the ground.
The Scholar and the Scorpion were also hit by the rays.
However, they were not pierced through. Scorch marks appeared on their bodies where they were hit, but the attack did not penetrate their bodies.
"Did they … find it? I don't think so. This is an indiscriminate attack. "
The Scholar and the Scorpion looked at the sky. The light attack came from the crystallized flying machines. They were now hovering above the crystallized forest and gathered around the tower-like distortion device.
"Maybe they detected that the warping device was hit, but they don't know where we are. So, they flew over to clean up this place. However, the weapons they used are very weak," the Scholar said to Scorpion. "We should leave this place first."
"Caw! These stupid mirrors! How could they go easy on us? If they want to stop us, they'll have to be prepared to destroy everything here!" The Scorpion quickly ran towards the Scholar and said, "Next, we'll …"
Buzz.
Suddenly, a low rumble was heard. The Scholar suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from the distortion device.
It looked at the distorting device and saw that the entire tower-like device was emitting a dazzling and pulsating light, as if … it was burning.
However, the 'flame' burning on the device was white, so it was rather dazzling.
"Something seems to have happened to that … Could it have gone mad as well?"
The Scholar and the Scorpion who originally wanted to leave stopped. The burning device made them want to stay and watch for a while longer. It seemed like something strange was about to happen.
The crystallized flying machines in the sky did not move at all. It seemed like they could not stop this phenomenon …
Boom!
After the burning phenomenon lasted for around thirty seconds, the Scholar suddenly felt the ground shake. A large number of cracks began to spread out from the distortion device.
"Is it going to come out from underground?" The Scholar knew very well that the tower-like structure of the distortion device was only a part of it that was exposed on the surface. It had an even larger main body that was shaped like a garlic head underground.
The shaking and spreading cracks made it seem like the main body was going to emerge from underground.
"Quick, let's leave this place first!" The Scholar immediately grabbed the Scorpion and ran into the distance. As the shaking became more and more intense, a large number of crystallized plants fell to the ground. Many of them shattered like glass.
The Scholar ran further and further away from the distortion device amidst the countless crystal fragments. Since there were Primordial realm flying machines in the sky, the Scholar did not dare to fly away. However, the Scholar still ran faster than the cracks.
Very soon, the Scholar ran out of the distortion device's range. Just as the Scholar stepped into a safe zone, the ground shook violently once more.
The Scholar and the Scorpion saw a huge object rising from the ground amidst the explosion and flying debris. The moment the object, which looked like a giant garlic, emerged from the ground, it sent out a strong … signal to its surroundings.
"You damned things that can't be protected! I'll kill you all! Everything that can't be protected should be destroyed! "
Rather than a signal, it was more like … a 'noise'. It directly entered the Scholar and the Scorpion's minds. However, the Scholar felt that there was nothing special about it apart from being annoying.
The Scorpion did not feel anything special either. Although this was the 'sound' of the small core protector, it did not come into direct contact with the small core protector. It did not actually have the effect of making creatures go mad.
"Make idiots … turn idiots into idiots. That's a pretty good tactic." The Scorpion only had this comment on the situation.
"... Is this the effect of hitting it into the distortion device earlier?" The Scholar was more concerned about the distortion device. The entire device had emerged from the ground and was constantly sending out the small core protector's voice.
However, that seemed to be all it could do. It did not affect the Primordial realm flying machines in the surroundings at all.
Suddenly, the Scholar saw the Primordial realm flying machines move.
First, they lowered their altitude, then threw a large number of … crystallized creatures on the ground. These creatures turned into creatures with limbs the moment they touched the ground, then rushed toward the distortion device.
The moment they came into contact with the distortion device, the creatures went mad. They turned around to attack other creatures, while some of them fought each other.
"It looks like it's affected by contact …" The situation before them was rather obvious. The Scholar believed that the Primordial realm wanted to use the creatures to repair or test the distortion device. In the end, they were affected by the small core protector and began to go mad.
If it could be affected without coming into contact, then the small core protector would have directly turned the distortion device into an extremely dangerous … weapon. However, this could affect them as well, so it was already quite impressive that it could cause such an effect.
"Looks like it's very effective!" The Scorpion said, "They can't use this thing anymore. Let's go pollute everything else!"
"... Of course."
After observing for a while longer, the Scholar and the Scorpion left to search for the next distortion device.
The next location was not difficult to find because the Scholar and the Scorpion both had new detection abilities. When the two of them left the forest carefully and passed through a wasteland of crystals, they arrived before another distortion device. This device was basically the same as the previous one. It was a very long structure that resembled a tower above the ground. There was another huge body underground.
It was not easy to blow it up, but it was very easy to hit the small core protector up there. However …
"So many …"
The surroundings of the distortion device were densely packed with … troops.
They all seemed to be composed of crystals. There were countless identical crystalline troops on the ground. They seemed a little like the off-road vehicles of the Voidfolk.
There were many crystalline creatures standing around the crystalline off-road vehicles. They were all different in appearance. They might have been crystalline creatures.
The sky was filled with commonly seen crystalline flying objects that were shaped like rocks.
"It really is hard to get close like this." The Scholar and the Scorpion were currently hiding behind a piece of crystal. They stuck their heads out and looked at the Primordial realm troops in the distance.
Although the Scholar and the Scorpion were very good at hiding, the Scholar believed that they would definitely be discovered if they got too close. The Primordial realm troops were just too densely packed. They could not get close.
"If that's the case, we'll use that tactic!" The Scorpion said, "It's the same tactic as before. First, make a few of the troops on the outside go mad, and then sneak in while they're fighting each other to deal with the distortion device!"
"But …" The Scholar was slightly hesitant, because it was possible for them to be discovered like last time, as the small core protector's bomb did not seem to have any concealment abilities.
"There are no buts. If there are any buts, then …"
Thump!
The rock that the Scholar and the Scorpion were hiding in suddenly moved. It opened up like a huge mouth and … swallowed the two of them.
"Is this a trap? Ahhh? Have we been discovered? "
The Scholar and the Scorpion felt like they were rapidly sliding down a tunnel. They activated their flying devices at the same time and quickly flew in the direction they had rolled down.
"It's already locked up. Let me take over from here."
They flew to where they had fallen. Looking at the darkness before them, the Scholar quickly tossed out a ball-shaped object. After a rumble, the Scholar's vision recovered.
They were currently where the rock that had swallowed them had been. The rock had already been blasted to pieces, but …
