In such a dense jungle, there was actually such an area that did not have any plants growing. Furthermore, it was an extremely complete circle. It could not be denied that it was a little strange.
Ye Chong came out of Guardian. Returning to the real world made him feel much more comfortable. Guardian was strong, but it also had a very obvious weakness. For example, the complex terrain of the forest would increase the analysis of Guardian by many times. Besides, in the black and white vision, the grid-like objects were hard to distinguish. That was why Ye Chong came out of Guardian.
According to Mu's scan, there was no danger.
The dark hole looked bottomless. Ye Chong threw a pebble into the hole, and heard a series of crashing sounds. Hmm, it seemed that the cave was not straight.
Ye Chong thought for a moment and took out a dimension keystone from his waist pouch. The dimension keystone was in the shape of a life-like reptile. It was one of the mechs Ye Chong bought in Nine Gates of Nightless City. It was an engineering mech, mainly used for mining and mineral harvesting, suitable for traversing through caves.
The mech was named "Long Worm". The mech was shaped like a mutated reptile, with a dark brown segmented body that allowed the mech to move freely. The thirteen segments of the torso were connected from head to tail, and each segment was equipped with a miniature engine. Moreover, it was also equipped with four passive mechanical legs that mimicked tentacles, which allowed it to freely shuttle through the deep and quiet cave.
Ye Chong entered the mech's pilot cabin, sat down and activated the mech.
"Long Worm" was like a reptile, crawling into the cave nimbly. Since the mechanical legs were all passive, it saved Ye Chong the trouble of controlling the mech. The cave's terrain was more complicated than he expected. The twists and turns, and the lack of light made it difficult to see clearly with the night vision system. Fortunately, Long Worm's head was equipped with a high brightness ion lamp. However, Ye Chong, who was sitting in the mech, felt very stable, and praised the designer of this mech in his mind.
Long Worm moved faster than Ye Chong expected, but the twists and turns of the cave were also beyond his expectation. Mu had detected the location of the teardrop mineralite, which should be within 3 kilometers, but Ye Chong felt that he had advanced more than 3 kilometers.
Phew, finally the end. Ye Chong's vision widened. The bottom of the cave was a large flat ground, and he could even hear the sound of flowing water.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Chong jumped out of the cockpit.
Ye Chong sucked in a cold breath when he saw the scene before him.
The cave should have been dark, but now Ye Chong could see all sorts of lights.
It was a shallow stream, the water barely above Ye Chong's ankles. The sound of flowing water could be heard clearly in the deserted cave. What surprised Ye Chong was not the stream, but the glowing ores in the stream. The colorful ores that were immersed in the water were even more dazzling than the stars in the sky. The pitch-black cave was also colorful because of these ores.
Ye Chong had seen many ores in his life, but he had never seen an ore that glowed on its own. Now, he saw a whole field of ores in all sorts of colors and shapes. How could he not be shocked? ,
"Mutated Energy Ore!" Mu's voice was also filled with surprise.
"Mutated Energy Mine? Mu, what is this? Will it work? "Ye Chong asked blankly.
"Yes, of course it's useful!" Mu's tone was firm, "Hmm, the teardrop mineralite must be around here, no wonder they could produce energy mutation." Mu sounded more like he was talking to himself.
Ye Chong could not make sense of it. Energy mutation? What was that?
However, Mu obviously did not want to explain now, so he urged, "Ye, quick, collect these mutated energy ores, they are very useful."
"Collect them all?" Ye Chong looked at the colorful mutated energy ores, swallowing hard as he asked.
"Yes, collect them all." Mu's words became concise as usual.
Ye Chong was about to move, but Mu suddenly spoke again, "Ye, you better go look for the teardrop mineralite, it should be around here, no more than 300 meters from here. I will collect these mutated energy ores. "
"Okay." Ye Chong replied, and began to search for traces of the teardrop mineralite among the glowing ores. Mu, on the other hand, controlled Multipede to collect the so-called mutated energy ores. Fortunately, Multipede was originally designed for this, so it was quite efficient. The collected mutated energy ores were stored in Multipede's warehouse. Multipede had 13 segments, except for one which was used as a pilot cabin, the rest were used to store the ores.
Ye Chong explored along the river, but did not find any trace of teardrop mineralite.
At the end of the cave, Ye Chong finally found a few teardrop mineralite lying on the ground, glowing softly.
Phew, Ye Chong finally felt relieved. It seemed like the mission was finally fruitful.
Ye Chong was about to move forward, but suddenly, his hair stood on end, and a sense of extreme danger rose from the bottom of his heart. Almost at the same time, Mu's panicked voice rang, "Ye, don't move." It was the first time Ye Chong heard panic in Mu's voice.
What kind of danger could cause Mu to feel this way? The thought flashed across Ye Chong's mind.
Ye Chong looked around carefully, and did not find anything out of the ordinary, but the sense of extreme danger still lingered in his heart.
Ye Chong asked carefully, "Mu, what's wrong? Something doesn't feel right. "
Mu said quickly, "Ye, summon me out, look behind those teardrop mineralite."
Behind the teardrop mineralite? Ye Chong was focused on the teardrop mineralite, and did not notice what was behind it. He looked up, and there was only darkness behind the teardrop mineralite, and nothing could be seen. Ye Chong immediately felt that something was wrong. He had excellent vision, and while the teardrop mineralite was not very bright, Ye Chong could still vaguely see the surroundings. However, five meters behind the teardrop mineralite, Ye Chong could only see darkness, so dark that no light could penetrate. Since the whole cave was dark, this black area would be hard to notice if one did not pay attention.
It seemed like something was wrong, even Mu had asked to come out, which was a rare occurrence since Ye Chong left the trash planet.
"What is this?" Ye Chong asked Mu as he looked carefully.
"Don't know, calculating now," Mu replied. Mu's bionic eyes were blinking wildly, obviously calculating at high speed.
Ye Chong thought for a moment, and quickly ran towards Multipede. Multipede had finished its harvesting, and was now standing quietly not far away. Since most of the glowing marbles had been harvested, Ye Chong remembered that there was a high intensity ion lamp at the front of Multipede, and directed the ion lamp towards that direction.
Ye Chong switched on the ion lamp, and the scene before him made him gasp in surprise, "What is this?"
The ion lamp was very bright, and the entire cave was bathed in white, except for one place, which was behind the teardrop mineralite. A black circle with a diameter of about three meters floated in the air, only five meters away from the teardrop mineralite. The light from the ion lamp was completely devoured by the circle.
The circle seemed to be made with the most sophisticated drawing tools, and the blackness sent a chill down one's spine.
The scene before him was indescribably strange, and Ye Chong could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
What is this?
While the teardrop mineralite was only a few steps away from him, Ye Chong dared not approach it recklessly. The strange scene before him made him cautious.
"Spatial distortion rate 71%," Mu's voice was cold and emotionless.
"Spatial distortion rate 75%," Mu's voice wavered.
"Spatial distortion rate 78%," Mu's voice sounded anxious. Mu sounded anxious, "Ye, pick up the Teardrop Mineralite, quick! Quick! But do not get within 10 meters of the spatial distortion. "
Spatial distortion circle? Was it that bottomless circle?
But how could he harvest the teardrop mineralite without getting close? Ye Chong looked at the teardrop mineralite on the ground, and felt a headache coming on. The teardrop mineralite was too small, and the largest one was only the size of a finger. The mechanical limbs of Multipede might not be able to pick it up.
"Spatial distortion rate 82%," Mu's voice sounded even more anxious now.
"Spatial distortion rate 87%," Mu's voice sounded anxious, "Ye, quick!"
Ye Chong understood that there was no time to waste. He caught a glimpse of the boulder on the ground, and an idea came to him. Without further hesitation, he bent down and picked up a boulder the size of a fist.
"Spatial distortion rate 90%," Mu had regained his calmness and coldness.
Once the boulder was in his hand, Ye Chong did not have time to get up. He pushed with the tip of his toes and dodged to the side. Ye Chong drew a rather large arc in the air, and was now facing the black circle from the front to the side of it. From the side, the black circle looked like a thin black line, as if it had no width.
"Spatial distortion rate 93%," Mu's time was like a ghost.
Ye Chong shook his wrist, and the boulder flew towards the teardrop mineralites on the ground. He did not have time to see the result. He did not dare to stay any longer. Like a wisp of smoke, he made a wider arc in the air. He ran from one side of the black circle to the other.
"Spatial distortion rate 95%," Boom!
Ye Chong's boulder hit the spot where the teardrop mineralites were densest. Ye Chong's boulder hit the spot where the teardrop mineralites were concentrated. The teardrop mineralites were hit by the boulder and flew towards Ye Chong's position.
The teardrop mineralites flew at different altitudes, forming an irregular fan shape. Ye Chong took a deep breath and created countless shadows to catch the teardrop mineralites. None of them fell. With Ye Chong's eyesight and hands, it was not a difficult task to do so.
"Spatial distortion rate 99%," Mu's calm voice came into his ears. Ye Chong did not have time to observe the result. He turned and was already beside Mu.
He stood still, and heaved a sigh of relief. Being beside Mu always gave him a sense of security. While the scene before him looked strange, Ye Chong's confidence in Mu was deeply rooted in his heart. In Ye Chong's subconscious, Mu was undefeatable.
Ye Chong put the teardrop mineralite into his waist pouch, and lifted his eyes to look at the strange black circle.
Huh? Ye Chong suddenly noticed that one of the teardrop mineralites was just a hair's breadth away from the black circle. It seemed like his move just now did not send all the teardrop mineralites to the intended direction. However, Ye Chong did not mind. After all, in such a short time, and with the irregular stones in his hand, he only missed one teardrop mineralite. Ye Chong considered himself lucky.
"Space distortion rate of one hundred percent," Mu spat out coldly.
Ye Chong stared at the strange black circle without blinking. While he did not know what spatial distortion rate was, he knew the number 100%. The most common meaning of this quantity was that quantitative change had reached qualitative change.
Ye Chong guessed. 5 seconds passed, and the black circle was still the same.
Five seconds passed, and the black circle was still the same as usual. There was no movement.
Ten seconds passed, and there was still no movement.
Just when Ye Chong was about to ask Mu what was going on, something unexpected happened to the seemingly unchanging black circle.
A hand.
A strange hand of some unknown creature reached out from the black circle. The black skin was covered with red lines, like a mesh wrapping around the hand. It was the first time Ye Chong saw this kind of skin. It had a metallic luster, and even looked dazzling under the ionization lamp. The hand had eight fingers. The knuckles looked solid, and Ye Chong suspected that the fingertips were made of metal, sharp and gleaming coldly. The eight fingers were connected to a layer of flesh membrane. It was indescribably strange.
Ye Chong did not see the so-called elbow. The hand started to move around in an illogical way, as if it had no bones. It could move in any direction and at any angle.
Suddenly, the hand that had been groping suddenly stopped. Ye Chong took a closer look, and was surprised. Wasn't the hand holding the teardrop mineralite that he missed?
The hand had been holding on to the teardrop mineralite the moment it touched it, and the hand began to shrink into the black circle.
Ye Chong did not dare to act rashly. Who knew what it was. Mu did not say a word. He and his mech watched as the hand retracted back into the room.
It was only when the hand was completely retracted that Ye Chong asked, "Mu, what is this?"
Mu was also puzzled by the question. "I don't know. I don't have any information about this creature in my database."
"Then what is this black circle?"
Mu shook his head again. "I don't know. I only know that this space is distorted."
Ye Chong wanted to ask more, but something happened!
