"Is it going to explode?"
The Scholar only returned to his senses when he heard the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's cry. He wanted to run in a hurry, but he soon realized that it probably wouldn't explode.
The Primordial Realm had said that it wanted to stop the explosion, so it probably wouldn't let the Mechanical Dust Crocodile detonate the missile.
What was the Mechanical Dust Crocodile testing earlier?
The Scholar looked towards the square again and discovered that … the missile the Mechanical Dust Crocodile had adjusted was flying.
The missile was like … a balloon as it slowly floated to a height of over ten meters. Then, with a boom, flames surged out of its tail. It flew past the buildings of the city and into the distance. Very soon, it disappeared from the Scholar's vision.
What a strange missile …
In other words, they were activating the missile to make it fly away, not to detonate it. But what would happen if the missile flew away? Would it detonate somewhere else or land safely?
The Scholar felt that the missile might actually land safely after seeing it slowly float up.
No matter what, their actions had already been noticed by the three-legged pillars. A few of them began to run over.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile was already testing the second missile. Very soon, the missile floated into the air like before and flew off into the distance.
However, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile's body was bound by the three-legged pillars' ropes again. These three-legged pillars should be different from the ones the Scholar had seen before. At the very least, the ones the Scholar had seen before didn't carry ropes like this.
This time, the Mechanical Dust Crocodile wasn't caught so easily. The ropes snapped, and the Primordial Realm floated to the side of the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. Then, it extended a hand to grab the Mechanical Dust Crocodile and … floated up from the square.
They seemed to suddenly … cooperate seamlessly. However, the three-legged pillars didn't plan on letting them go. They flew up from the ground as well.
They used their legs as … propellers. They spun on the ground and chased after the Mechanical Dust Crocodile in the air. The Scholar felt that the legs of the three-legged pillars shouldn't be able to spin. As a result, they might have pulled their legs back to their bodies before they spun.
Moreover, they flew rather quickly. The three-legged pillars seemed to plan on capturing the Primordial Realm and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile alive. They didn't use any long-range attacks. Instead, they directly charged up and shot ropes at them.
Bang! The ropes were knocked away along with the pillar. They were unable to approach the Primordial realm expert at all.
However, even more three-legged pillars caught up very soon. The three-legged pillars on the streets had dealt with most of the skeletons as well. As the pressure lessened, they noticed the situation in the air and began to chase after the Primordial realm experts one by one.
The Primordial realm expert sped up when he saw this. He flew off in a single direction as quickly as he could, which was the rooftop where the Scholar resided.
"I've actually lured them over …" When the Scholar saw the large group of three-legged pillars that the Primordial Realm expert had brought over, it immediately turned around and jumped away from the edge of the building. However, the Scholar heard the Primordial Realm expert's voice, "Quick! Enter the teleportation device! "
"The teleportation device …" The Scholar turned around and looked at the ring-shaped device on the ground. It hesitated for a moment, but it did not choose to run away. Instead, it turned around and ran towards the teleportation device.
At the same time, the Primordial realm arrived at the teleportation device with the Mechanical Dust Crocodile. They both vanished at the same time.
"Wait a minute!" The cultivator at the side exclaimed, "Take me away! Don't leave me behind, ahhhhh! "
However, its cries were completely meaningless. Very soon, it was surrounded by a large number of three-legged pillars …
As for … the Scholar, they had already returned to where they originally were.
"We're back again …"
The Scholar looked around. The ground was covered in metal fragments, and the surroundings were white walls. This was clearly the main control room of the research facility.
However, there were no three-legged pillars here. All that remained were the fragments of the system that the three-legged pillars had destroyed.
"We're finally safe …" The Mechanical Dust Crocodile let out a sigh of relief, "I never thought we'd be able to escape. Fortunately … the three-legged pillars have all retreated. They probably don't know that we've returned."
"I'm not sure," said the Primordial realm expert, "They probably don't know. If they did, we wouldn't be able to escape."
"Shouldn't you explain …" The Scholar asked the Primordial realm expert, "What were you doing earlier? Why did you let the two missiles fly away? "
"That's because …" said the Mechanical Dust Crocodile, "We wanted to activate some things …"
"Activate some things?"
"Let me explain," said the Primordial realm expert. Said the Primordial realm expert, "The three-legged pillars wanted to blow up the weapons mainly because they didn't want … these weapons to be used."
"Of course, they didn't want to use these weapons to attack like you think. Instead, they wanted to use these weapons to do some special things," said the Primordial realm expert.
"Special things?" The Scholar asked, "How do you know so much?"
"This is the information we've just gathered," said the Primordial realm expert. The Primordial realm expert said, "I've always maintained contact with my companions. While you and I were here … exploring, they were exploring elsewhere."
"Really?" The Scholar asked, "Then what's the special things?"
"It's a form of communication," said the Primordial realm expert. "You know that the Dust Crocodiles have many beliefs … Most of their beliefs are just their imagination."
"I know that," said the Scholar. "The Dust Crocodiles often imagine themselves as an extremely powerful … god. Then, they use this' god 'as a goal to chase after, trying to obtain the same power as them."
"That's right. These are all their imaginations. They've set it up themselves. However, some beliefs are … real," said the Primordial realm expert, "A god once responded to the Dust Crocodiles."
"Responded?"
"It's said that when a group of Dust Crocodiles were exploring far away, they received instructions from this god. The god showed them some kind of great power, allowing the lost exploration group to return safely. Afterwards, it contacted the exploration group again and showed them even more wondrous powers."
"Afterwards, the Dust Crocodiles began to spread the legends of this god. As a result, this god gained many … believers. It might be the only god that the Dust Crocodiles didn't chase after," said the Primordial realm expert, "This is the information we've discovered recently."
"Really? Then this god is indeed very special. I think it might be some other race here and not a true god. However, what does that have to do with the current situation? "asked the Scholar.
"This god gradually stopped contacting the Dust Crocodiles because it expressed that it wanted to enter a 'slumber' … However, it wasn't completely forgotten," said the Primordial realm expert, "It gave … the Dust Crocodiles a way to contact it."
