The light in the void … had reached the end of its flickering.
Countless embers and dust danced and drifted away under the extinguished light. They proved that there had been a war here.
It was about … a war between metal and stone.
More than 3,000 attack stones had appeared at the edge of this area. They used all kinds of weapons to attack the floating metal pieces of the Evaporator.
The attack didn't last very long because there were more Evaporators than Attack Rocks.
After a short clash, the attack stones were all shattered. But even though the battle was short, Lin had completed her mission.
That was to rescue a piece of Po Rock and the recorder inside.
While both sides were unleashing their firepower, Lin had one of the troops sneak into the floating fragments and take away a piece of Amber Rock and a few of the recorders inside.
The way to take them away was simple: dig a hole, take them out, and fly away.
Because the Evaporators were busy fighting against Lin's attack rocks, they didn't seem to notice Lin's unit sneaking in. However, Lin didn't take away the entire Po Cliff, only a part of it, as well as a few Recorder inside.
As long as a part of Po Rock was taken away, it would grow into a new Po Rock, so there was no difference between taking away a small piece and taking away a large piece.
However, after the war ended, the Evaporators seemed to have noticed this and began to send out troops to chase after Lin's soldier that saved Po Rock.
But Lin felt that they couldn't catch up.
This soldier … was in the shape of a spider. It was about 50 meters long and was currently flying in space.
The color of its body was the same as the surrounding starry sky, and inside its body were the three Recorders that Lin had captured, as well as a few pieces of Amber Rock.
This place was very far away from the floating Po Rock, so this soldier didn't use teleportation to escape. Instead, it used high-speed flight to escape.
Lin felt that the Evaporators would also chase after traces of teleportation, but flying away like this would make it harder for them to notice.
Now, Lin could take her time to study the recorder. The recorder's reaction to being taken away by Lin was just as Lin thought. They recorded it down.
"A creature took us away from here." In addition to this sentence, there was also detailed information about the internal environment of Lin's troop class. These were all recorded by them.
However, they did not have any other reaction. Other than recording, they did nothing else.
They were indeed interesting, but while studying them, Lin had to pay attention to another problem. This problem was related to the location of the Transpirators' evolution.
…
"Can't break the connection, can't roll!"
A metal spider was currently located within … a round wood-like object that might have been a living being's body.
There were countless sticky threads inside the 'log'. They stuck the metal spiders and many small pieces of amber inside. As the log moved, the number of sticky things kept increasing.
The log was now moving slowly amidst the dust and powder. Every time it moved, a large amount of the dust and powder would flow into the area and be stuck by the threads.
Unlike the amber and metal spiders, the dust powder that was stuck to the thread didn't stay on it. Instead, it slowly disappeared … It was as if it had seeped into the thread and was swallowed without a trace.
. The log's interior wasn't filled up by the dust. Although the scene inside the log was strange, the imam and Maya were more concerned about the metal spider.
After the metal spider was swallowed by the log, they wanted to break the connection with the spider and record what they saw, but …
They found that they couldn't break the connection.
This meant that their 'consciousness' was trapped inside the metal spider, and they could only watch the scene inside the log.
Although the spider had the ability to self-destruct, they didn't do so because they didn't know if self-destructing the spider would help them regain consciousness or … cause other problems.
They couldn't contact anything even though they used some communication devices inside the spider. They were now forced to watch … the strange scene.
"Then how long do we have to wait before we can roll?" Maya was impatient. "Let's use that thing to blow this place up."
"This creature can trap us, but we don't know what will happen if we blow it up," the imam said. "We have to wait and observe for a while."
"We won't be able to roll no matter how long we wait," Maya said. "It keeps moving us."
When the metal spider first came in, it was stuck to the threads near the entrance, but the threads kept moving. Finally, the threads that stuck to the metal spider moved to the center of the log.
They were still moving inwards. They might reach the end of the log. Who knew what was waiting there? At least, they couldn't see it clearly with the light.
"We'll see …" The imam wanted to say something, but he stopped.
That was because both it and Maya saw that at the entrance of the log, a white object had flown in together with the dust powder.
It was a ball of fluff.
"Lin!"
When Maya called out excitedly, the ball of fluff flew towards them.
The pompon quickly flew between the threads towards the metal spider, but before it could reach it, the pompon was stuck to the threads on the way.
However, it only lasted for a second. The threads quickly broke, and the ball of fluff continued to fly.
The ball of fluff flew in front of the metal spider. It didn't say anything, but extended a few fluff and poked the threads that stuck to the metal spider.
Slap! The threads broke. The imam and Maya wanted to say something, but the ball of fluff made a gesture to stop them from making any noise.
Then, the ball of fluff floated towards the entrance, and the metal spider followed.
Although they didn't communicate, their movements were very synchronized.
Just like before, the ball of fluff broke all the threads that might block the way. Soon, they approached the entrance where large amounts of dust kept drifting in.
The ball of fluff didn't fly out directly. Instead, it flew to the edge of the entrance and poked the 'mouth' of the log with its fluff.
Bang! At this moment, the entrance of the round log closed, but after more than ten seconds, it opened again.
"We can go out now."
