"They're stealing our Frozen Blooms. We need to stop them."
"Why do you know their language? Who are you? Why are you with them?"
"We need to protect the Frozen Blooms."
“”
The Scholar was currently with the Mechanical Dust Crocodile on the gloomy ground. It had been constantly saying that since before.
Earlier, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's main control system seemed to be affected after being struck by the Primordial realm expert's attack, so it did not get up to continue attacking the Primordial realm expert. Afterwards, the Scholar took it away.
However, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had a self-recovery system. After waking up, it discovered that the Scholar was actually with the Primordial realm expert, and the Primordial realm expert was transporting a large number of Frozen Blooms.
As a result, it was rather furious.
However, it only dared to express its fury to the Scholar secretly. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile still remembered the power of the Primordial realm expert, so it did not dare to provoke them in their territory.
"That's why we need to investigate here and not attack them," said the Scholar, "We can't stop them right now, do you understand?"
"But …" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile still wanted to say something, but the Scholar ignored it. Instead, she looked at the surroundings.
The Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile were currently in a square in the city centre. Looking to the side, they could see a Primordial realm flying machine over thirty meters long. Many Primordial realm experts floated around in the surroundings, and there were many slime-like, crystalline creatures crawling around the floating Primordial realm experts.
They were currently piling up the Frozen Blooms they had dug out from the ground beside the flying machine. The Frozen Blooms did not seem to possess any Frozen Blooms, as the Scholar had seen them move around for quite some time without any problems.
Clearly, the Primordial realm experts wanted to study these wondrous items as well, but the Scholar felt like the Primordial realm experts already knew a lot, so she might be able to directly ask them some questions.
As she thought of that, the Scholar walked over, and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile followed behind her.
They moved around the floating Primordial realm experts. The Primordial realm experts did not seem to see them at all. They all seemed to be busy.
However, the Scholar had no idea what they were busy with, as the work of moving the Frozen Blooms was done by the creatures. The Primordial realm experts seemed like they were just strolling around.
As a result, the Scholar said to one of the Primordial realm experts close to her, "You promised me before that you could show me your research materials."
"Is that so?" The Primordial realm expert stopped as if in doubt, "We made a promise like that?"
"It's not to talk to you.. The scholar looked around. The Primordial realm expert she had spoken to before was not here. She had no idea where he had gone after bringing them here.
However, just when the scholar thought it would take some time to explain, the Primordial realm expert said very quickly, "Very good. That's indeed the case. You can learn about us."
He didn't seem to need much trouble.
"You want to know about us?"
Suddenly, the Scholar saw its eyes light up.
It was quite bright, as if it was daytime. In the eyes of the Scholar, the entire city was extremely bright, as if it was daytime.
There was no daylight in this world. Because they were inside the tunnel, it was always in a state of darkness. The creatures here were usually adapted to a dark environment or relied on various kinds of light sources for illumination.
It was the first time the Scholar had seen such a bright place, so he quickly turned his eyes to the place where the light shone.
It was not just the scholars. All the Primordial realm experts and Mechanical Dust Crocodiles looked up as well. They saw a huge, glowing object fly above the city.
"This is that."
Because the Scholar's eyes were not made of flesh and blood, it was fine even if he stared at the light for a long time. As a result, he could clearly see the object's overall appearance.
It was quite huge. It was long and slightly curved like a snake. Countless specks of light flickered on its huge body like stars, illuminating the entire city.
In reality, the Scholar and Mechanical Dust Crocodiles were not completely unfamiliar with this creature.
"It's a Star Condensation."
Star Condensation was a legendary creature. Stories about it would often appear in the beliefs and legends of Dust Crocodiles and the surrounding races. It was said that this creature had been roaming the sky ever since Dust Crocodiles learned how to record history. However, there were very few records about this creature.
This was mainly because they were just too mysterious.
Star Clusters were usually a few hundred meters to a kilometer long. They were snake-like, or eel-like creatures. After they appeared, they would slowly move forward in the sky, twisting their bodies as if they were swimming in water.
However, their greatest characteristic was that they would shine brightly. They seemed to be imprinted with images of the stars. Occasionally, the images would shine, illuminating the region they passed by.
This special behavior of his caused countless creatures to develop feelings of worship for him.
Dust Crocodiles had once observed Star Condensation flying out of the tube, into the void outside, and then back again. This was also the origin of the name Star Condensation. At first, Star Condensation was believed to have gone out to collect starlight from the outside, and then flew back to sprinkle the starlight on the residents here.
This legend had been around for a long time. Even as it became more and more developed, Dust Crocodiles still treated it as a beautiful story. In Dust Crocodiles' society, there were many books and works about Star Condensation. Its beautiful legend had always been spread among Dust Crocodiles. If Star Condensation appeared somewhere, it would immediately cause a huge commotion, attracting countless Dust Crocodiles and other races to watch.
Star Condensation had always been a beautiful legend to Dust Crocodiles, but that was a thing of the past.
After the war began, Star Condensation turned from a beautiful dream to a nightmare for Dust Crocodiles. This creature had participated in the war and stood on the side of the invaders.
Dust Crocodiles didn't know why. Some theories said that the invaders had tamed Star Condensation, or they had made some kind of deal with Star Condensation. Dust Crocodiles had never communicated with Star Condensation, so they didn't know if this creature had intelligence. Most of the worshippers treated Star Condensation as a god, but from the perspective of the scholars, they thought Star Condensation was a wild creature.
No matter what, Star Condensation had great power. There was no mistake about it, just like now.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! The light they emitted swallowed everything they came in contact with.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosions caused by the meteors shook the ground. Dust and debris formed a tsunami. A large number of Shi Jin and mutated creatures disappeared in the beautiful light.
Boom!
The aircraft that was parked in the middle of the square wobbled and flew up amidst the countless explosions. The protective shield that protected it kept shaking in the light. In the end, it disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, the aircraft was swallowed by the falling meteors.
The Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile began to flee the moment Star Condensation appeared. The Scholar would look back from time to time. The beautiful explosions continued to erupt in the square. Most of the Shi Jin that had been moving around the square had been blown to smithereens.
However, while the meteors from Star Condensation seemed to cover the sky, they only targeted a certain region of the square.
The Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had almost reached the edge of the square. They were not affected at all, but for safety's sake, the Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile never stopped.
"The light's dimming."
After running over two hundred meters away from the square, the Scholar noticed that the light in the surroundings was dimming. She looked back at the square and saw that Star Condensation in the sky was becoming dimmer and dimmer. It was like a lamp that was about to run out of power.
In the end, Star Condensation completely dimmed. When the city returned to darkness, it wriggled its huge body and flew over the city, leaving this place.
All that remained was the square that was filled with holes and debris.
"Why is it like this?"
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile and the Scholar stopped running. They watched Star Condensation leave. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said in great sorrow, "This creature has always been a beautiful legend, but it suddenly attacked us. Something like this has never happened in history. Why is it clearly such a beautiful creature?"
"That's just your imagination."
Suddenly, a voice rang out. The Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile discovered that a Primordial realm expert was floating towards them.
Although most of the Primordial realm experts had been blown to smithereens, there were still quite a few who managed to escape the square like the Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. The Primordial realm expert was the same.
Moreover, it spoke the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's language, so the Mechanical Dust Crocodile could understand it.
"What are you?" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile immediately said furiously when it saw the Primordial realm expert, "You actually want to take away our Solidifying Bloom."
"We have a very deep relationship with you," the Primordial realm expert said to the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, "You are also in our world."
"You are also in our world." The Mechanical Dust Crocodile was stunned, "What does that mean?"
"Two groups of creatures that have no relationship with each other underwent the same evolution," said the Primordial realm expert. The Primordial realm expert said, "We've come to investigate the reason for this. We believe the reason lies here."
"What are you talking about?" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile was still very confused.
"In short, we are not enemies," said the Primordial realm expert, "We can cooperate. There are many benefits to this."
"You can defeat the invaders, and we can also find what we want."
