"I see. You were born a little late."
In a huge canyon, the Scholar was listening to a Dust Crocodile that had just hatched from an egg.
The Dust Crocodile told the Scholar that it was going to the Dust Crocodile's city to tell the other Dust Crocodiles that they were about to be destroyed and that a large army would invade their country.
However, it was too late because the Dust Crocodile's country was almost destroyed.
"I have no audience?" The Dust Crocodile looked at the Scholar in shock. "I have no value. I need to sleep."
"Wait," the Scholar shouted. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The Scholar had heard the Dust Crocodile talk before. Generally speaking, it was set to wake up before the Dust Crocodile's civilization was attacked by the Midgard Pipeline's civilization cycle. It would tell the other Dust Crocodiles to be prepared.
However, there was a mistake in the time it was set to wake up. It woke up when the Dust Crocodile was almost destroyed.
The Scholar was confused. Why was it in an egg? And why did it come out after the three-legged pillar injected something into the egg?
"Who, who am I?" The Dust Crocodile looked confused. "I don't know. If I can't complete my mission, I have no meaning."
After saying that, it lay on the ground and stopped moving.
The Scholar didn't ask any more questions. Instead, it examined the Dust Crocodile. The Scholar found that this Dust Crocodile was different from other Dust Crocodiles. It had strong adaptability, so it could survive in the canyon. Normal Dust Crocodiles would die if they took off their armor.
However, even though it was adaptable, there was no way to know why it was in an egg waiting to hatch and then telling the other Dust Crocodiles about the destruction.
The Scholar was hesitant. Should it continue its investigation here or continue its journey in the canyon?
The group of Dust Crocodiles had run off to somewhere unknown, but it could still catch up with them. However, the Scholar was a little concerned.
Just as the Scholar was thinking about this, it heard a sound. It turned its head and saw a three-legged pillar running past it.
The Scholar Walker pondered for a second before following the three-legged pillar.
The three-legged pillar did not seem to care that the scholar was following it. It was still crawling at a slower speed.
The Scholar felt that the three-legged pillar might know something, and it seemed to want to crawl somewhere. The Scholar followed it into a cave under the cliff of the canyon.
After entering the cave, the scholar found that there were eggs everywhere. They were the same size as the eggs outside, about two meters tall.
Moreover, most of them were cracked. Beside these eggs, there was often a dried corpse.
This time, the Scholar was not frightened, because these were not the corpses of Voidfolk, but Dust Crocodiles. They were about the same size as normal Dust Crocodiles, but they seemed to have just hatched from their eggs. The Scholar even saw a corpse with half of its body inside the egg, and the other half outside. Its hands were clutching the ground tightly, as if it was struggling to climb out.
This scene looked really strange.
The three-legged pillar ran faster and faster among the corpses and broken eggs. The Scholar could not help but quicken her pace. However, after a few seconds, the Scholar's attention was drawn to something nearby.
It was a spherical object with many holes. It was a tool that Dust Crocodiles often used to record things.
The Scholar decided to check it out first. Then, the Scholar walked over and picked up the ball, trying to see if she could open it.
It seemed to work.
After the Scholar poked it a few times, an image popped up. It showed a lot of complicated information, but the Scholar could understand it.
The information was describing it. So this was it.
The Scholar looked through the information and found that the Dust Crocodiles that hatched from their eggs were a group of very famous Dust Crocodiles.
To be precise, they were all people of high status. For example, the corpse at the Scholar's feet was a great Dust Crocodile inventor, and the other corpse was a very famous explorer.
The corpses in the surroundings were more or less the same. They were all famous characters, especially in the field of exploration. They were all experts.
The newly hatched Dust Crocodile outside was also a famous person. The Scholar saw its name in the information. It was a very famous ancient civilization researcher.
It was said that this researcher investigated the ancient civilization ruins to find out the phenomenon and operation cycle of the pipeline. Because it was very accurate, it was very famous.
Now, why were all these famous Dust Crocodiles in their eggs?
The Scholar continued to look through the information. It found that it was written by the last Dust Crocodile that came here. It recorded the general situation here and recognized the faces of most of the corpses, so it knew that they were famous people.
In the Scholar's eyes, every Dust Crocodile looked the same.
The Dust Crocodile that came here was very surprised. It seemed to have encountered some danger, but fortunately, it wrote down enough information.
The Scholar found that the famous people seemed to have all disappeared in the end.
According to the information, all the Dust Crocodiles disappeared in the end when they were out exploring or doing research.
That meant that the Dust Crocodiles here might have been caught by someone and stuffed into their eggs.
Was this made by a three-legged pillar? They looked very suspicious.
Just as the Scholar was thinking about this, it received a new message. The message said that this might be related to them.
"They."
At the same time, in another place far away.
"Where are they?"
It was a corridor.
The ground was dazzling and smooth white, as if it was made of some kind of metal. The walls on both sides were golden, the same color as the creatures floating in the corridor.
Primordial realm. They flickered with golden light and were filled with doubt as they floated in the corridor.
This corridor belonged to the modified person, or more accurately, it was a part of the modified person's warship.
Earlier, the Primordial realm had left the pipeline and chased after the modified person's warship. Now, they had finally caught up because the warship had stopped halfway.
As a result, the Primordial realm parked their flying device beside the warship and found an entrance to fly in. However, after entering, they were not sure what to do.
Their main goal was to find the modified person, but after floating for a while, they did not see anything.
The Primordial realm believed that they had already flown over ten kilometers. This was far longer than the length of the warship, but they still could not see the end of the corridor.
They did not see any passageways that led anywhere else.
It was like they were moving in an illusion. They could not leave, nor could they find their target.
