"Ahhhhh!"
Following a series of screams, a strange creature lunged at the Scholar.
Because of the scene in front of him, the Scholar could not help but take a few steps back to stabilize his emotions.
If the sand skeleton was like a mummy, then this thing was like a rotten corpse.
It also had six limbs and its body was more than two meters long, much larger than the sand skeleton. It looked like a rotten Voidfolk.
Its whole body was covered in a soft substance that looked like minced meat and was covered in a dark red liquid. It ran quickly on the ground with its six limbs that looked like hands and legs. It looked quite disgusting.
Even the Scholar, who was far away on the Star Bus, had a nauseating reaction in his stomach.
Fortunately, this thing did not have the smell of a rotten corpse. After calming down, the Scholar raised his hand and aimed at the target.
Bang!
After the explosion, the creature's body exploded and fell to the ground. The Scholar let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the rotten corpse on the ground, the Scholar decided to suppress the nauseating feeling and study what this thing was.
After a little examination, the results were out.
This thing was made of the same material as the sand skeleton. It had a six-limbed skeleton inside. The difference was that it was twice as big as the sand skeleton. The skin that covered its whole body was not made of sand like the sand skeleton. Instead, it was made of a soft substance that looked like rotten meat.
Of course, this was not really rotten meat. It just looked like it. However, the function of this rot-like substance was still unknown.
If it was used to scare the Voidfolk, the effect would be quite good.
In short, the Scholar decided to call this thing Rotten Meat Bone. Rotten Meat Bone should be the same as the sand skeleton. Because of its large size, it could be used for other things. Also, it had mutated like the sand skeleton.
The reason for the mutation was not clear. The Scholar felt that it was very likely the doing of the Dust Crocodile's enemies. They might have controlled the sand skeleton series to threaten the awakened Dust Crocodile.
At present, the Scholar could only think of this possibility.
Then, the Scholar looked to the other side. The mechanical Dust Crocodile's situation was much worse. The Dust Crocodile was facing two Rotten Meat Bones alone.
However, the Dust Crocodile wasn't afraid of these things. Moreover, these two couldn't hurt the Dust Crocodile. Soon, one of the two had his spine broken by the Dust Crocodile while the other had his limbs torn off. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Although the Dust Crocodile was a machine, it was not equipped with any weapons. It fought bare-handed.
The Dust Crocodile seemed to be used to the rotten flesh and bones. It did not look at the two that it had beaten up. It called the Scholar and had the Scholar follow it deeper into the forest.
This place should be the underground passage that led to the solidification blooming device, but to the scholars, it looked more like an underground train station.
There were posters, weapons, and some empty bottles scattered all over the ground. They looked like canned food, as well as many accessories and clothes.
Scholars believe that there may have been many people who fled and hid here, and these are the things they dropped.
Other than that, many things that looked like tables were strewn all over the place. It was obvious that the layout of this place was very similar to the underground train station of the Voidfolk.
There were train stations everywhere in the underground of the Voidfolk world. Although the Scholar had never seen them before, when he was on the Wanderer, he often looked at the information of his own world.
However, the Scholar did not see any trains or other forms of transportation here. Perhaps this was a rest area, not a parking spot.
This place was the same as other places. There were no residents, dead or alive, in sight.
Only rotten flesh and bones were everywhere. They were like sand skeletons. They would scream and attack at a certain distance of about three meters.
The Scholar and the Dust Crocodile deliberately avoided their reaction range and quickly walked deeper into the tunnel.
As they moved deeper into the dark tunnel, there were fewer and fewer things scattered around. Instead, the Scholar saw more and more rotten flesh and bones.
It felt like this place was their nest.
They were scattered before, but now they were getting more and more concentrated. It seemed like it was not easy to go around them.
"Ah ah ah!" Suddenly, there was a loud cry. A Carrion Skeleton next to the Scholar pounced at her. The Scholar immediately raised her hand, and with a loud bang, a high-speed bullet pierced through the Carrion Skeleton's soft outer skin and its internal skeleton. The Carrion Skeleton fell to the ground.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" The moment the rotten flesh and bones fell to the ground, the Scholar heard another scream. The Scholar immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the scream. The moment he turned his head, he saw a few rotten flesh and bones pouncing on him.
"They're all awake?" The Scholar was shocked. He immediately stepped back, but he saw that the Dust Crocodile had been pushed to the ground by a group of rotten flesh and bones. These rotten flesh and bones attacked by tearing at every part of their target. The Dust Crocodile's body creaked as if it was going to fall apart at any time.
Bang bang bang!
The Scholar quickly aimed at each of the Carrion Skeletons. The bullets pierced through the spine of each of the Carrion Skeletons. When they fell, the Carrion Skeletons that were not shot by the Scholar released the Dustcrocodiles and ran away.
These things knew fear? Seeing this, the Scholar was surprised. He originally thought that rotten flesh and sand skeletons were the same. It was just a kind of automatic program that drove them to move. Therefore, they only did simple actions like attacking things that were close to them.
Now, however, the Scholar felt that their program was more complicated than he originally thought. At least, the rotten flesh was more complicated than the sand skeletons.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile, who had escaped, stood up. He and the Scholar saw that a group of rotten flesh and bones had gathered together. They seemed to be preparing to attack, and each of them was ready to charge.
Before this, they only reacted to things that were close to them. Now, they were all united. Because there were so many of them, both the Scholar and the Dust Crocodile felt that it was a little troublesome.
"Explode." The Scholar pointed at the group of rotten flesh and said a simple word to the Dust Crocodile. The Dust Crocodile quickly understood and said to the Scholar, "No."
At the same time, it pointed upward.
The Scholar looked up and saw that the ceiling of the tunnel was full of cracks. The Dust Crocodile's meaning was obvious. The explosion might cause the tunnel to collapse.
But if that was the case, would they have to kill the rotten flesh and bones one by one?
"Wait." The Dust Crocodile's next words made the Scholar remain motionless for almost a hundred seconds. During this time, the Scholar realized that the rotten flesh and bones did not attack.
They slowly spread out and then lay on the ground one by one, returning to their previous motionless state.
"Move." Then, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile led the Scholar into action.
Their collective movements seemed to be periodic. After a while, they would stop moving again.
However, they were still very dense. The Scholar and the Dust Crocodile carefully shuttled through a large number of rotten flesh and bones, moving deeper and deeper into the tunnel.
Finally, the Scholar saw the enemy.
The Dust Crocodile and the Dust Crocodile first heard the explosion, so they quickly hid in a shop next to them.
There were shops on both sides of the tunnel. Some were restaurants, and some were selling other things. After they hid, they saw a large number of lights outside.
A large group of three-legged pillars appeared in the tunnel.
These three-legged pillars used the bright light spots as flashlights to shine everywhere. The way they passed by was very high-profile, and they did not hide at all.
Therefore, the three-legged pillars attracted many rotten flesh and bones to attack them. However, these rotten flesh and bones would explode in an instant.
This also meant that the three-legged pillars did not care about the possibility of the tunnel collapsing.
The Scholar counted their numbers. There were a total of 20 three-legged pillars. They slowly walked past the entrance of the shop where the Scholar and the Dust Crocodile were hiding. None of them seemed to want to come in and check.
Why were they there? Moreover, seeing how they fought with the rotten flesh and bones, it meant that the abnormality of the rotten flesh and bones was not caused by them.
After the three-legged pillars left, the Scholar and the Dust Crocodile left the shop and continued to walk deeper into the tunnel.
This time, it was much easier to walk because they were walking on the same path as the three-legged pillars. The rotten flesh and bones on the way were all cleaned up. Only some remains could be seen.
Stepping on the remains of the rotten flesh and bones, the Scholar and the Dust Crocodile finally arrived at the place they wanted to go.
In front of them was a crossroad. The two sides of the crossroad were connected, but the direction in front of them was blocked by a large number of stones.
The Dust Crocodile said that the stones were blocking the direction that led to the location of the solidification and blooming device.
This was the only way to get there. Since the road was blocked, there was no other way to get there.
Although these stones were called stones, they were very big. They needed a large construction machine to move them away. The Dust Crocodile's own strength was not enough to get in.
However, the Scholar came here because it had a way to get in. The Scholar had a mini Scholar that was a few centimeters in size inside its body.
This mini Scholar might be able to squeeze through the cracks of the stones.
However, the Scholar Scholar did not know if she could drill to the bottom. Moreover, it was quite dangerous here. There might be three-legged pillars. If she left the mechanical body here and controlled the miniaturized version to drill in, the mechanical body might be lost.
"How do we get there?" The Dust Crocodile said to the Scholar. "Here, it is impossible. It is very difficult."
"It should …" The Scholar was about to say something to the Dust Crocodile, but it stopped.
