"We've already received the orders …"
"Very good. Most of them are gathered there …"
They were in outer space.
Although it was outer space, it was not dark. Apart from the twinkling stars, there was a resplendent, reflective world nearby.
This resplendent world was their target.
They were a swarm of insects. They were like deep-sea copepods. Every single one of them was less than a day old. They were around ten meters long, and there were ten thousand of them.
They were carrying out a special mission at such a young age, which was to land on the resplendent world.
The war continued. The Primordial realm army continued to bombard the fleeing insects on the barren Tumbler in the distance.
Most of the Primordial realm army had gone there, which meant that the defences of their own world would become … even weaker.
This team took advantage of the weakness here to sneak into the Mirror World to do something special.
They had already made their way around … to the back of the Mirror World.
The army of insects did not fly down immediately as they looked at the ground that flickered with crystalline light. Instead, they sent some signals to … two creatures on the ground.
… …
"Quick! Let's go from here! "
The Scholar and the scorpion were currently fleeing.
They were currently in a dark tunnel. The tunnels here were complicated, but they had a clear path.
The sound of running constantly rang out behind them. The golden Primordial realm experts pursued the Scholar and the scorpion. When the Primordial realm experts approached them, the Scholar and the scorpion quickly hid in a cave to the side. The golden Primordial realm experts all directly ran in that direction. None of them turned around to look for them.
"Those idiots didn't discover us!"
The scorpion seemed to be very excited. In reality, the Scholar had never expected something like this to happen either. They … had actually managed to escape successfully.
They had been interrogated by the golden Primordial realm experts earlier. The golden Primordial realm experts wanted the Scholar to show them the weapon that had driven them mad.
After capturing an enemy spy, they did not confiscate the weapon for research. Instead, they wanted the spy to show it to them. The Scholar found this idea to be … very special.
As a result, the Scholar showed them the weapon.
Afterwards, the golden Primordial realm experts lost their minds. They began to fight one another, while the Scholar and the scorpion used this opportunity to flee.
However, it was not so easy to escape because they were now in an underground environment. There were tunnels about five meters in diameter everywhere. They did not know what they were originally used for. Although it was convenient to avoid pursuit, it was difficult to find a way out.
"Finding a way out is a problem." The Scholar looked at the path in front of them. Every once in a while, there would be one or more forks. This made it difficult for them to determine where to go.
"It's fine. With the help of the new program, they won't be able to find us. We can just run around!" The scorpion didn't seem to care much about getting lost. It had just activated a 'new concealment program'.
This program was on its armor, but according to Scorpion, it could also activate the same function on the Scholar's body. Moreover, the Scholar found that this function seemed to be very useful.
Its effects were similar to before. The golden Primordial realm experts directly ran past without noticing them at all.
"Alright, we have a mission next!" The scorpion said, "The Inca swarm's sneak attack army has already arrived near the Mirror World. We need to cooperate with them in battle!"
"But it's very difficult to cooperate here, and don't yell so loudly …"
The Scholar knew what kind of battle this was. It was actually … a battle of shifting the mirror away from the star. Right now, a large number of Primordial realm experts were attacking the swarm on the nearby Barren Rollers. The swarm had drawn them over and scattered everywhere, engaging in a battle of attrition with the Primordial realm experts.
At this moment, a special army had arrived at the back of the Primordial realm's world and then … created a teleportation point.
The teleportation point could bring the swarm over and then attack the original world of the Primordial realm experts. They would destroy most of the important regions of the Mirror World before retreating.
That was the exact situation of the battle. However, teleportation points could not be created randomly. The Inca swarm did not bring anything that could teleport them over, or they would not have been able to hide. Through the detection of teleportation energy, the Primordial realm experts would be able to discover them very easily when they approached the Mirror World.
As a result, they needed to use the Mirror World to teleport through the Mirror World. In other words, the Primordial realm experts' own teleportation devices.
This was also the mission of the Scholar and Scorpion.
The main content of the mission was to cause a large amount of … panic here and find the location of the Primordial realm's teleportation device. They had to record the location so that the swarm could quickly occupy it and use it to teleport.
However, with their current location … it did not seem like it would be easy for them to do that. If they did not find the location after a long time, the swarm's army would arrive and try to find it themselves.
"I think we should leave here as soon as possible," the Scholar said to Scorpion, "There's not much time left …"
"That's why we need to go in a random direction! Let's just go there! " Scorpion cried out as he charged off. Before the Scholar could call out to him, he had vanished into the depths of the dark tunnel.
The Scholar could only follow him now. Fortunately, they could tell each other's location, so they would not get lost. However … they would still get lost.
"Why are there so many paths here …" After walking for around a hundred seconds, the Scholar discovered that they had already passed by several forks. They could not see where the paths led to at all. Right now, the Scholar could only follow Scorpion in a straight path. However, as they walked, the Scholar felt like this was the wrong path.
This was because the path ahead began to descend. The Scholar felt like they would go even deeper and not to the surface.
Moreover, the strange thing was that after running for so long, no Primordial realm experts had come to catch them apart from at the beginning. This did not seem very normal. Was it really that they could not detect it? Or …
"Let's wait for a moment," the Scholar said to Scorpion, "We should confirm now …"
"There's no need to confirm. There's definitely a teleportation device up ahead!" Scorpion said, "I've detected that energy!"
"Really?" The Scholar was confused, "But my detector did not respond …"
"That's because your version is older! It's right here! "Scorpion suddenly stopped, because there was a wall before him.
"There's no path here … Wait." The Scholar walked closer and discovered that there was a large amount of writing on the wall. It was mainly written in the language of the Primordial realm.
"This is a great underground maze left behind by the legendary Lagu civilization a very long time ago. It hides all of the civilization's history, technology, and all of its secrets. Only those who reach the very depths of the maze can obtain it. Touch this position to open the maze …"
Smack. As soon as the Scholar said that, Scorpion smacked the wall. Immediately, the wall rumbled, and a rather vast space appeared behind it.
The space was over sixty meters wide. The ground and walls were all made of stone, and there were pillars everywhere. They were covered in cracks and patterns, making this place seem like something left behind by an ancient civilization.
"This is a maze left behind by a civilization," said the Scholar, "I- hide!"
The Scholar and Scorpion quickly ran behind a pillar. After they ran over, a large group of golden Primordial realm experts appeared where they had been.
These golden Primordial realm experts seemed to have been drawn over by the sound of the wall rising, which confused the Scholar once again.
This was because the Primordial realm experts still seemed to be trying to catch them, but they had never appeared until they opened the wall …
The golden Primordial realm experts had also entered this vast place, and they spread out as if they wanted to search for the Scholar and Scorpion.
The Scholar remained where he was. This plan seemed to be rather effective because this place was very large, and there were only twenty golden Primordial realm experts. After they spread out, none of the Primordial realm experts approached them. Instead, they all moved to the walls in the surroundings.
"Where's the teleportation device you said you detected?" Seeing how the Primordial realm experts had all dispersed, the Scholar asked Scorpion, "We have to go over right now, or even more Primordial realm experts might come here …"
"It's here!" Scorpion knocked the ground, "It's buried here."
"So close? Why didn't I react? Whatever. Since it's here, I'll record it down first. "
As he thought of that, the Scholar crouched down and took out a pen-like object from his waist. He stabbed it into the ground.
Thump! When the Scholar did that, a golden light suddenly shone on his face. He turned around and discovered that a golden Primordial realm expert was walking towards him. The light from his head was concentrated on the Scholar's face.
"It's pointless for you to run …" At the same time, he said that. The moment he said that, the scattered golden Primordial realm experts in the surroundings rapidly gathered over.
They seemed to have suddenly discovered him. Was it because he had taken out this … pen? The Scholar suddenly had a thought … as if taking out anything would lead to him being discovered.
"No matter where you run, no matter what you do, we'll discover you sooner or later because this is our world …" The Primordial realm expert who walked towards the Scholar said, "So …"
"So I still have to run." The Scholar used his forelimbs to aim at the Primordial realm expert who walked over and said, "Just keep going crazy."
Bang!
After an explosion, the Scholar suddenly discovered …
