"Quick, it's running to that direction!"
In the dark tunnel, the battle was still raging.
On one side was an octopus-shaped aircraft piloted by the Scholar and the Hero. On the other side was a gigantic creature called Star Cluster.
This creature was now moving on the ground at a very fast speed.
Not long ago, it had been hit by the smoke shot by the octopus. The smoke was actually made up of countless tiny bombs. These bombs would burrow into the cracks of the target's surface and detonate.
The explosion seemed to be very effective. After the explosion, Star Cluster was no longer flying. Instead, it slithered across the ground like a snake.
Under that huge body, everything in the surroundings, whether it was rocks, plants, or anything else, were all squashed.
Despite its imposing manner, Star Cluster did not attack the octopus in the sky.
"Quick, attack it now!" The octopus was flying above the wriggling Star Cluster. All of its tentacles were extended, and from the suction cups on its tentacles, a large number of sharp objects fell like raindrops.
They landed on Star Cluster's back with a series of loud bangs. Star Cluster did not slow down. It continued to wriggle its body forward, crushing all the plants in its path.
"That's strange …" The Scholar controlled the octopus to continue its pursuit. While it was attacking, it was also carefully observing its target. Although Stellar Condensation had many different reactions due to their attacks, there was one reaction that the Scholar did not notice.
That was … a scar.
Until now, none of the attacks had left any visible wounds on Xing Ju's body. Even though Xing Ju had fallen from the sky and was crawling away as if it could not fight back, the Scholar did not see any wounds on Xing Ju.
Was it using some method to hide its scars? Or … Forget it. Let's continue attacking and see what happens.
Boom! The octopus fired another flying bomb. When the light of the explosion bloomed on Star Cluster's body, it began to writhe as if it was struggling.
Its one-kilometer-long body began to struggle, causing the entire blue-purple forest to tremble. Countless plants were crushed and blown away, scattering dust and smoke into the air.
"These plants look like …" The Scholar realized that once the blue-purple plants were crushed, they would turn into … dust.
Very quickly, the thick smoke formed by the dust covered everything that could be seen, including Xing Ju's gigantic body.
However, the Scholar and Hero could still see Xing Ju's body twisting and turning as if it hadn't left its original position.
"Aim at it and continue attacking. Use that thing!" The hero immediately stepped forward and poked the screen. The octopus opened its tentacles again, and this time, the light from the attack gathered in the middle of the tentacles … where the mouth was.
"I told you not to use miniaturized disintegration bombs here!" The Scholar quickly canceled the attack and fired a large number of flying explosives instead.
These explosives flew into the thick smoke, and through the detector, the Scholar could see that they were quickly approaching Xing Ju's body.
However …
"Why is there no sound?"
On the screen, the Scholar noticed that the bomb had hit the target, but there was no sound of explosion.
In fact, from the very beginning, it had not heard … the sound of the stars twisting, although it could still see them twisting on the screen.
"That's strange …" The Scholar said. "What happened to it?"
"There's nothing strange about it!" The hero said. "Continue to … give it … What is going on?"
The smoke in the sky started to disperse, and the Scholar and Hero saw a strange scene.
Below the octopus, Star Conglomerate had disappeared, leaving behind countless dust, rocks, and broken plant leaves and stems. All of these things … were maintained in the same position, not moving at all.
They stopped in midair, and the dust formed a large, snake-like shape. This shape was the same length and size as Xing Ju.
Theoretically speaking, these pieces should have stuck to Xing Ju's body, but now that Xing Ju had disappeared, these pieces still maintained the shape of Xing Ju's body.
"Could this be … solidification?" The Scholar looked at the pieces that maintained the same shape, and an answer immediately appeared in its mind.
The hero pointed at a spot, and the Scholar also noticed that the bombs they had fired earlier had mixed with the large number of pieces … and they were still in a still state.
Moreover, he was also in a motionless state. Such a state could indeed be described as' frozen '.
Boom!
All of a sudden, an intense rumbling sound echoed out.
The bombs suddenly exploded, and at the same time, the motionless fragments that formed the shape of the star scattered and slowly drifted to the ground.
It was as if … everything had returned to normal. All that was left before the Scholar's eyes was a flattened forest.
Inside the pilot's cabin, the Scholar was stunned for a few seconds before speaking. "Now, let's sort out the general situation. When it kept twisting here and stirring up a large cloud of dust … it solidified the things around it and then used some method to escape. The solidification didn't last long, and now it's back to normal."
"That's possible …" the hero said. "Where did it escape to?"
"I don't know …" The Scholar looked at the image sent by the mini Scholar. The image had been black since the beginning.
"Looks like we'll have to use a new method to track it," the Scholar said. "But … I don't know how to find it. Plus, we don't have enough research on solidification …"
"Then, let's go find it."
"Find it?" The Scholar glanced at the hero, but the hero said, "That's not what I said.
"Then, who said it?"
"Of course, it's us, you stupid thing!" Suddenly, the voice spoke again. It was then that the Scholar realized … who had said it.
"Where are you?" the Scholar asked. "How did you contact this place?"
"We've learned a lot about the situation. We know what kind of traitor you're after! That traitor is also trying to capture us, so he is our common target! But they don't taste good. Yes, they don't taste good at all. "
"… And then?" The Scholar realized that the voice had gone silent, and it couldn't help but ask.
"Then, you have to follow our guidance to find that thing. It will guide you! Yes, that very old thing, something older than us! "
After the voice finished speaking, the Scholar saw a map appear on the screen. It appeared to be a map of this place, and on it … there was a red dot marking a certain location.
"Just go there, right?" the Scholar said.
"Of course, hurry up and get over there, or we won't be able to kill it!"
"… Then, we'll go there," the Scholar said. "And …"
"Wait!" the hero suddenly said. "Who are you people? How did you interfere with the system? "
"…" However, there was no answer to his question.
"They are not interfering with the system," the Scholar said. "They should be using … a communicator to contact this place."
"Communicator?" the hero asked. "Where did they get a communicator from?"
"In the past … I gave them a communicator," the Scholar said. "No matter what, let's just fly over and take a look."
"Okay, if you say so …"
While they were talking, the octopus slowly turned its body and flew into the distance with a boom … (~ ^ ~)
