They observed, followed, and continued to observe …
They had already moved very far away.
The Scholar continued to follow them … the Primordial realm experts.
This had already gone on for several days and nights.
An army of Primordial realm experts, including a Primordial realm flying device and over a hundred of them, continued to move through the abandoned tunnel.
They did not move like the Scholar, who was purely exploring. Instead, they seemed to have a target, constantly searching through the city.
They followed the path of many chariots, constantly searching in a single direction. The flying device in the sky moved slowly as the Primordial realm experts searched.
So far, the Primordial realm experts did not seem to have found anything …
The Scholar was still looking at them.
Right now, the Scholar was hiding behind … an advertisement. At the very least, the Scholar believed it to be an advertisement, as there was a beautifully painted Dust Crocodile on it.
Before the Scholar was a street filled with craters. The situation here was similar to before, except there were no chariots. Instead, there were many vehicles and mechanical Dust Crocodiles.
The vehicles were very similar to Voidfolk. Although their shapes were strange, they were all driven by wheels. As for the mechanical Dust Crocodiles, they were not complete. A part of their bodies had been blown off, so they lay on the ground without moving. Who knew how long had passed.
The Primordial realm experts were investigating them. They would carefully examine every single fallen Dust Crocodile, but they would ignore them after that.
The Scholar did not know what the Primordial realm experts were looking for, so he decided to do some research here.
Poking his head out from behind the advertisement, the Scholar discovered that the Primordial realm experts had already left. They had flown to the next block. At this moment, the Scholar walked out of the advertisement and arrived before a mechanical Dust Crocodile.
The head of the mechanical Dust Crocodile was very complete, so the Scholar tried to disassemble it and study its internal structure.
As expected, the Scholar could not understand the internal structure of the mechanical Dust Crocodile at all.
He could only roughly understand that the control system of the mechanical Dust Crocodile was not in the head, but in the chest. Although the head was complete, half of the control system in the chest had already been blown off.
The Scholar looked around. Very soon, he noticed a mechanical Dust Crocodile with a complete chest nearby …
As a result, the Scholar quickly ran over to the mechanical Dust Crocodile. However, just when the Scholar was about to study it, he suddenly discovered something strange.
Beside the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, the Scholar saw a golden object. It looked like a small cube, only about ten centimeters in size.
This was the first time the Primordial realm expert had seen something like this in the ruins. As a result, the scholar decided to pick it up and take a look.
"Creak …"
The moment the Scholar touched the thing, it suddenly heard a sound. The Scholar turned its head and saw that the Mechanical Dust Crocodile beside it … had moved.
This Mechanical Dust Crocodile only had its upper body. It looked like a crocodile with only its upper body. It swung its limbs as if it wanted to get up.
Could it be that this one wasn't dead yet? However, the Primordial realm experts did not seem to discover it when they searched earlier.
Perhaps the Primordial realm experts had discovered it, but they did not care. Regardless, the Scholar cared quite a bit.
"Creak … Kaka …"
While the Scholar was thinking, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile suddenly opened its mouth and made a lot of unclear sounds.
Rather than saying that it wanted to speak, it was more like the sound of a machine running. However, the scholar still tried to communicate with it.
Because she didn't understand the Dust Crocodile's original language, the scholar greeted it in the language of the Primordial realm.
"Creak … Creak!" The moment the Scholar greeted it, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile suddenly pounced. Seeing this, the Scholar immediately jumped back and dodged the Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
"Boom!"
At the same time, there was a violent explosion. The ground more than ten meters behind the Mechanical Dust Crocodile suddenly exploded. Large amounts of rock and dust flew everywhere. Many of them landed on the Scholar's body, making crackling sounds.
The Scholar glanced at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile on the ground. It felt like the Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not want to attack it. Instead, it knew that the explosion was going to happen, so it wanted to push it away.
Looking at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's actions, it did seem like that. It did not hold any weapons, and its mouth, which was the only weapon it could use, did not open. This meant that it was indeed helping the Scholar.
Since it was friendly, it should be easy to get along … However, why would there be an explosion?
The Scholar landed on the ground, and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile quickly crawled to the Scholar's side. It glanced at the Scholar first before running to the side of the street, as if it was worried that the Scholar would follow.
The Scholar obviously followed.
"Boom! Boom! "
When the Scholar took a step, it heard the explosion again. This time, it happened twice in a row. The Scholar looked back and saw that … there were two more bomb craters in the street behind.
It seemed like something had thrown a bomb here.
The Scholar did not stop. It followed the Mechanical Dust Crocodile into a building. After entering the building, the Scholar found that most of the things in the building were intact.
This should be a place like … a restaurant. There were tables everywhere that were suitable for the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. However, there were no chairs or anything like that. The tables were filled with colorful objects that looked like fruits.
"Boom!"
The sound outside was heard again. The Scholar looked outside and saw that the fire had even sent a vehicle flying.
However, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile was very calm. It did not run again. Instead, it looked at the Scholar.
"This place is safe, right?" The Scholar looked at the Mechanical Dust Crocodile and felt slightly relieved. Then, it continued to ask, "Can you understand me?"
"…" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not say anything. However, it quickly ran to the corner of the restaurant. The Scholar noticed that the Mechanical Dust Crocodile … was looking for another Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
To be precise, it was dragging out another Mechanical Dust Crocodile from under the table. This Mechanical Dust Crocodile was also severely damaged.
However, its lower body was almost intact. At first glance, it looked like the two could be combined together.
Then, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's actions were just as the Scholar thought. It found the Mechanical Dust Crocodile under the table and put it together with itself …
What was the use of this? What was the point of putting itself together with another damaged machine?
Just as the Scholar was thinking about this, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile suddenly spoke.
