It was still very … dark.
The Scholar was walking with a mechanical Dust Crocodile in one of the corridors in the hemispherical building.
The corridor was very long, and it kept going down. The Scholar felt like they were going deep underground.
There were many doors on both sides of the corridor, and they were all tightly shut. None of them were open, but some of the doors had cracks, so the Scholar could see that there was furniture inside that was suitable for the Dust Crocodile's body.
So, this place was like an underground dormitory.
However, the Scholar was more concerned about the many 'sand skeletons' that looked like dried corpses.
Most of them used their six limbs to crawl on the wall, and some of them looked like huge bugs. When the Scholar walked past, they would sometimes do nothing, and sometimes they would scream and jump at the Scholar.
Although they encountered many along the way, the Scholar was always scared by the weird screams, so they were quite … annoyed.
Fortunately, most of them jumped at the Dust Crocodile, because it was the Dust Crocodile who was leading the Scholar. It was now standing up, and its mechanical body was completely repaired.
The way to repair it was to combine its upper body with another damaged lower body. Previously, it was only dragging its lower body while crawling. Previously, Dust Crocodile had found a device to repair it in the room filled with specimens. After the repair, it was able to stand up and move with its lower body.
At the same time, it could also … speak.
It was different from the mechanical clicks from before. Now, the Dust Crocodile's voice was very much like a creature's. Its voice was deep and loud.
The Scholar could understand part of it.
The Dust Crocodile in front stopped and turned to look at a room on the side. It said to the Scholar, "The living area, I'm here."
The reason why the scholars could understand him was because the Dust Crocodile used the standard Dust Crocodile language. The Primordial realm had records of the Dust Crocodile language because the Dust Crocodile in the Mirror World spoke the same language.
The Scholar had just received such information, so it could understand the Dust Crocodile's language.
The mechanical clicks from before were unknown. Perhaps it was the Dust Crocodile's language when it couldn't communicate normally.
Perhaps its speech system was damaged before, but because it found a piece of internal organ, it was repaired. Now, the Dust Crocodile's language was normal.
After the organs were used, they were spat out by the Dust Crocodile. Obviously, the Dust Crocodile didn't use its organs to speak. The scholars believed that the Dust Crocodile's vocal system read the information in the organs. Then, the Dust Crocodile could speak. The organs were similar to the brain.
However, even though the Scholar could understand what the Dust Crocodile was saying, it did not understand everything. It could only understand part of the words.
He didn't know why. Was it because there was a mistake in the language, or was there some other reason? Even so, it could roughly understand what Dust Crocodile was trying to describe.
Dong!
The door was pushed open by Dusty Crocodile. To be precise, it was pushed down.
The metal door smashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. A series of strange cries rang out in the room. Three Sand Skeletons screamed and pounced out.
Then, one by one, they were beaten to the ground by the Dust Crocodiles.
The Dust Crocodile's limbs were very long. Compared to a crocodile, that was indeed the case. Therefore, the Dust Crocodile often used its forelimbs to attack.
The Dust Crocodile walked into the room. The Scholar followed it into the space that was more than ten meters in diameter. The ground was filled with a large number of things that looked like … advertising papers.
The Scholar picked one up and looked at it. It was a 'paper' about thirty centimeters in length and width. On it was drawn … two Dust Crocodiles holding weapons. One was a mechanical Dust Crocodile, the other was a flesh Dust Crocodile.
They seemed to be on good terms. They were fighting side by side. There was also a large number of words below. The Scholar could see that this was … propaganda related to war.
Other than that, there were other pictures. The Scholar saw a large number of … Sand Skeletons. These Sand Skeletons were all lying on the ground. It felt like a product that was mass-produced in a factory. Next to the picture was a Dust Crocodile hugging a Sand Skeleton.
There were no words on the picture, but the Scholar felt that it did look like a product advertisement. Could it be that … Sand Skeletons were produced?
If this thing was produced in the Void World, no one would buy it. This was because the Sand Skeletons looked too much like … a shriveled corpse of a Void person.
This was one of the reasons why the Scholar was easily frightened by them. However, the technology used to make Sand Skeletons intrigued the Scholar. If they were made by Dust Crocodiles, how did they make them move?
And why were they here … making strange noises and attacking things that were close to them?
The Scholar continued to look at the other pictures. Some of them were propaganda about war. There were pictures of war vehicles and other weapons. There were also pictures of food and other advertisements.
Finally, the Scholar looked at the Dust Crocodile. The Dust Crocodile ran to the corner of the room and kept fiddling with something.
It looked like a metal ball. There was a pillar at the bottom. When the Dust Crocodile fiddled with it, it was very … rough. It even slapped it a few times and kicked it in the end.
Then, the one-meter wide metal ball finally reacted. It started to move … It moved by spinning on the spot.
Beep beep. When the metal ball started to spin, the Scholar suddenly realized that the whole room had darkened. An image appeared on one side of the room.
A golden square appeared in the image. A loud voice rang out. "Abandon! Don't use it anymore! "
This square … Yes, the Scholar remembered that when it touched the square, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile next to it moved …
At this time, the image changed quickly. A Mechanical Dust Crocodile appeared next to the golden square. The square touched the Mechanical Dust Crocodile slightly, and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile fell to the ground.
Then, a … Flesh Dust Crocodile walked over. It grabbed the square and crushed it into pieces. Then, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile stood up from the ground and cheered with the Flesh Dust Crocodile.
Looking at this image, it seemed to indicate that the square had the ability to control the Mechanical Dust Crocodile …
In this video, it meant that the Flesh Dust Crocodile had destroyed the square. In other words, it was' no longer used '. Therefore, they were happily together with the Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
In fact, the Scholar did not associate the square with the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, so it did not pick up the square at that time.
Bang! The Scholar suddenly heard a sound. It turned its head and saw the Mechanical Dust Crocodile slapping the metal ball that was playing the video.
After a few consecutive hits, the image displayed on the wall changed to something else.
"War!"
This was the theme of this video. The content of the video was described in a low voice.
"Tanks … Attack … Bombing … Lost …"
In the image, countless chariots and fully-armed Dust Crocodile soldiers were on the move. From time to time, a large map would appear in the image. Through the intermittent words that could be understood, the scholar could roughly understand what was being said.
The Dust Crocodile probably lived in a … very big place.
It was not clear how big it was because there was no indication of size. However, at some point in time, the Dust Crocodile's' country 'began to be invaded.
The invaders first attacked the border areas. The Dust Crocodile also sent out an army to stop them. However, news of failure soon came.
In the video, large areas that belonged to the Dust Crocodile were blacked out one by one. This was the area where they lost the war.
The enemy was very strong. They defeated the Dust Crocodile army again and again. There were very few scenes of the Dust Crocodile's enemy in the video. The Scholar saw a very large black aircraft and a large number of flying objects. Next was the 'three-legged pillar' that they had seen before. They were all considered the Dust Crocodile's enemy.
Where did the enemy come from? What was the reason for the attack? They had no idea at all.
The Dust Crocodile had been investigating this, but the video showed that no matter how much they investigated, they had no clue. The main reason was that the enemy never communicated with them.
In the end, the Dust Crocodile gathered their forces and defended the remaining few areas. Perhaps because of the large number of troops, the destruction of these areas was not as fast as before.
Their enemy did not seem to use any weapons of mass destruction. Instead, they used a large number of … small area weapons.
That was why the Scholar could see things that were blown up and damaged on the streets. It was rare to see things that were completely blown up. It seemed that the enemy wanted to destroy the Dust Crocodile army one by one instead of destroying them all at once.
In the video, there were also some shots of the Dust Crocodile … having a meeting.
In the meeting, there were usually flesh and blood Dust Crocodile and mechanical Dust Crocodile. Other than that, there were some other creatures.
They seemed to be 'foreign creatures' that lived near the Dust Crocodile's country. They were also attacked by a similar enemy.
None of the creatures were in good condition. The situation of their countries was quite bad. They were losing their own battles and could not help other countries.
Therefore, the Dust Crocodile gathered the creatures in the nearby countries for a meeting. They decided to come up with a common plan to deal with this terrifying enemy.
That was to activate a special weapon.
The Scholar just happened to know this word. The name of the weapon was' Frozen Bloom. '
It was a very strange name.
However, the name was not the main point. The main point was the effect of the weapon. This weapon could freeze all the enemies. However, there was a flaw. It would freeze the allies too.
In short, it was like pressing the 'pause' button. The war was paused.
This did not seem to solve any problems. However, the Dust Crocodile had a plan after the pause. They had a way …
