"What … are these things?"
The Scholar, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, and … the Primordial realm.
They were currently in the great hall of the research facility. There were originally many chests filled with weapons here, but those chests had all disappeared.
Instead … there were large amounts of rotten flesh and bones.
The rotten flesh and bones were similar to the ones the Primordial realm had attacked at the entrance. They were all … remains. They were scattered all over the ground.
It was indeed possible for the rotten flesh and bones to be here. Since the Scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had dug out a tunnel earlier, it was possible for them to follow the tunnel to this place.
However, who had reduced them to this state? And where had the chests gone?
There did not seem to be any answers here. Although there were many clues, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile did not seem to be interested in them. It only looked around casually and said to the Scholar, "Let's go to the main control room!"
"… Alright." The Scholar did not plan on staying here for too long. They moved off in another direction very soon.
Although they did not have the multi-hole ball this time, they had the Mechanical Dust Crocodile with them. It could be used to open the various paths of the research facility.
The path to the main control room of the research facility had to pass through a thick door. Under the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's orders, the door slowly rose up.
When the door slowly rose to the highest point, the path inside appeared before the three of them. At the same time, a voice rang out.
"… Who are you, intruders?"
In the path behind the door, a … creature suddenly leapt up. The Scholar immediately took a step back when she saw this. The creature's weapon struck the ground where the Scholar originally stood, directly creating a crack in the metallic surface.
"You're …" The Scholar was very familiar with this creature because it was the … cultivation creature on the Star Bus.
The Scholar knew that some cultivation creatures had been placed in this world to explore, but they should be very far away. Why had this one appeared here?
"It's you!" The cultivation creature ignored the Scholar. Instead, it looked at the Primordial realm to the side and immediately called out, "You golden monster! You destroyed my home and killed my compatriots. How dare you come here? "
With that, it turned around and slashed at the Primordial realm's … defence.
The protective light constantly surged, but it did not affect the Primordial realm expert at all. The Primordial realm expert retreated slightly, and soon afterwards, a thump rang out from the cultivation creature's stomach.
The cultivation creature was sent flying. It rolled across the ground several times before coming to a stop. The greatsword in its hand fell to the side.
However, a second later, it immediately leapt up and pointed at the Primordial realm expert as it called out, "Revenge is a dish best served cold!" Afterwards, it quickly picked up its weapon and ran off into the depths of the tunnel.
"Who is that?" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile was the most confused about the current situation, so it immediately asked the Scholar, "Do you know him?"
"…" The Scholar didn't know how to explain it, so she decided not to. Instead, she said, "Don't worry about it. Let's go to the main control room first."
"How can we not care? This strange thing … That's right! We have to go and see if there are any problems there! "The Mechanical Dust Crocodile reacted immediately and quickly ran into the depths of the tunnel.
The Scholar followed him. At this moment, the Primordial realm arrived behind the Scholar and said, "It came from there."
"Where?" The scholar asked, "Where is that?"
"Another … civilization," the Primordial realm said, "It's very far from here."
"How do you know?"
"We've been to that place before. We've searched for the energy of the modifiers there … So, we know some things," the Primordial realm said, "If you want to know, we can tell you."
"What are you talking about?" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile turned around and asked.
"Do you know about the Convenient Skeleton Production Company?" the Primordial realm said to the Mechanical Dust Crocodile.
"Of course!" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said, "But why are you talking about that company now?"
"Because it has something to do with the current situation … I think we've arrived." The Primordial realm stopped. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile and the Scholar did the same.
This was because they had reached the end of the tunnel, and what appeared before them was a thick door.
"Strange … Where is it?" The Scholar looked around. She was very confused because there was only one path in this tunnel. The cultivation creature had also run this way, but they hadn't seen it even after running to the end.
"Anyway, let's open the door first. Hurry up and open the door!" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile shouted to the mini Mechanical Dust Crocodile that it had been carrying. The moment he said that, the door rumbled and slowly rose.
What appeared behind the door was a complicated scene. A large number of metal structures were assembled together. It looked like the interior of a huge machine, but there was no trace of the cultivation creature inside.
The three creatures walked in. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile was the fastest. It quickly ran to a porous ball in the room and asked the mini Mechanical Dust Crocodile in its hand, "Is this the main control?"
"Yes. You can control most of the systems here through it," the mini Mechanical Dust Crocodile said. "Do you want to gain control authority?"
"Yes!" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said. "Quickly give me control authority. That way, I can confirm the exact situation of the research institute."
"Very good. Please place your hand or anything connected to the nerve device in your body on the ball … Confirm that it has been placed. Transferring authority now … Transfer complete … 10% … 30% … 31% …"
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile placed its hand on the porous ball without moving. The mini Mechanical Dust Crocodile kept talking about the progress of the transfer process. However, the progress seemed very slow. Although it reached 30% very quickly in the beginning, it only increased by 1% every time.
The Scholar did not try to get the authority. Instead, she looked around. Although this place was very complicated, with various mechanical structures everywhere, the space between them was very small. The cultivation creature could not hide here.
In other words … The cultivation creature that had run in this direction had completely disappeared. Did it use some method to hide? Or did it run into some secret tunnels?
The Scholar believed that there might be many secret tunnels because she had seen them in the room where the blooming solidified. However, they did not seem easy to find.
"Then, let's continue." The Scholar decided to continue listening to the previous topic. She asked Shi Jing, "What's the matter with the company you mentioned earlier?"
"That company …" Shi Jing said, "It was not created by the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, although it was built here."
"Hahahaha!"
A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the conversation between the Scholar and Shi Jing. The Scholar discovered that standing at the open door was … the cultivation creature.
Following behind the cultivators were large amounts of … rotten flesh and bones.
"How did you …" The Scholar noticed that the carrion bones seemed to be … listening to the cultivation creature's orders. The cultivation creature was making all kinds of postures, and under its postures, the carrion bones around it were slowly walking over.
"My cultivation has already reached a higher level, and I have obtained a mysterious power of inheritance. I now control an army!"
The cultivation creature yelled at the Scholar and Shi Jing, "You were lucky that my army was not by my side earlier, but now my army has returned! I will have them crush you! Go! "
The moment he said that, all the rotten bones immediately shrieked and lunged towards the Scholar and the Primordial realm. At this moment, the Primordial realm drifted before the Scholar.
"What? How is this possible? "
Under the cultivation creature's shocked gaze, all the rotten bones collapsed one after another. Because the Scholar had already seen this before, she was not too surprised.
It didn't take long for all of the rotten flesh and bones to fall apart. The only cultivator left said in disbelief, "Why? Why can you destroy my army? If that's the case, I can only use that! "
"What is that?"
As soon as the scholar asked this question, the ground around them suddenly shook violently. It was as if something big was moving.
Very soon, the Scholar saw the moving thing. It was slowly walking over from behind the cultivation creature.
When the Scholar first saw it, she felt that it was … very large. At the very least, it was the largest rotten bone she had ever seen.
Although it was not particularly large, it was still over six meters tall. It crawled on the ground with six limbs, and there were many pieces of red flesh hanging from its body.
"This is one of my most powerful subordinates!" The cultivation creature said, "Its strength can defeat at least three extraordinary individuals. How are you going to deal with it now? Go! Get rid of it! "
The colossal rotten bone produced a strange growl. It lunged at the Primordial realm and raised its front limb to smash it heavily.
Bang!
With a series of sounds, the arm that had struck the Primordial realm expert completely snapped, falling heavily to the ground to one side.
"No! Why is this happening? Why is this monster so powerful? "The cultivation creature began to shriek when she saw this," Quick, destroy it! Ahhhh! "
As she shrieked, the rotten bone attacked again. It struck the ground heavily time and time again. The Primordial realm did not use any defenses to block. Instead, it dodged all the attacks and floated towards the cultivation creature.
"What? Don't come over! "
The cultivation creature was shocked when she saw this. She retreated in a hurry, but the Primordial realm floated much faster than her. Very soon, the Primordial realm … pressed the cultivation creature to the ground. Afterwards, the Primordial realm said … something very strange to her.
