Tang Shidao deliberately let the Source Iron Beasts snatch some crystal Source Iron Beasts for one purpose: to enter the Source Iron Planet and take a look inside!
Although Cang Zhu said that both the Exploration Party and the War Party had occupied some planets and the inside could be visited.
However.
Tang Shidao didn't quite believe that the inside really looked like a beast's nest.
The formation of the Source Iron Planet had always been a mystery. It was not like the Source Crystal Planet, where the almost transparent Source Crystal could be seen through, but the Source Iron Planet was opaque. It was also impossible to use magic to sense it. Both the Source Iron Planet and the Source Crystal Planet had Energy Absorption Arrays, so using magic to sense it was equivalent to sending energy. Although everyone estimated that the Source Iron Planet should be the same model as the Source Crystal Planet, an estimate was an estimate, not a certainty.
Even if the core of the Source Crystal Planet was the bone, it was not necessarily correct without touching it personally.
After seizing the Source Iron Planet.
The Source Iron Planet would stop growing. Even if ancient artifacts were used to dig to the core area, there would be nothing inside. What made people speechless was that once the Source Iron Beasts seized it back, the planet would grow again and return to its previous growth rate. If they seized it again, it would stop growing again.
It could be said that.
Even the Exploration Party and the War Party understood that the Source Iron Planet must have some secrets that they did not know.
The Crystal Source Iron Beasts were captured.
The leader of the Source Iron Beasts who came to receive it was also very careful, for fear that the Crystal Source Iron Beasts who betrayed their camp would do something unfavorable. It could be said that for the first one or two months, they were all in a state of detention. Completely isolated, completely monitored, and only started research after confirming that they were 'harmless'. Even in the beginning, it was not a comprehensive study, only a few Source Iron Beasts were sent to study.
After three months, they were finally brought out of the cage and brought to a new array cage, where the research officially began.
"Is it safe?" The Source Iron Beast General was still not at ease.
"After testing with 417 types of artifacts and exploring and monitoring with 83 types of spells, we can now guarantee that they are completely cut off from the outside world. So, we can start the research now. "
"There are no more problems?"
"We added 8 artifacts and 64 types of spells and seals to the new array to absolutely guarantee that they can't contact anyone and can't escape. If you don't mind, we can even destroy their cores after the experiment. Not kill them, but destroy their brains and only keep their bodies alive. "There were also scholars among the Source Iron Beasts, smart but not too strong.
"Okay. But, give us a reason why they can't be saved? "
"This is a bit long. Leaders, please take a seat. We will slowly explain the relevant matters. These days, we've found some clues.. "
"Alright, please go ahead." The leader of the Primordial Iron Beasts was also very polite to the scholar.
After it.
The intelligent Origin Iron Beast began to activate the magic screen to display its recent harvest. "Please take a look at the positioning of the Crystal Origin Iron Beast … We define it as a puppet! Leaders, this is not a joke. Their current lives are not considered lives. They are similar to artificial intelligence in the technological world. "
".....
"........... But this is a new model. The Crystal Beasts are combined with the Source Iron Beasts. Maybe Mr. Long hasn't perfected it yet, or maybe Mr. Long did it on purpose. In short, their current state is not like a normal life. Leaders, why don't we introduce the good and bad first, and then think about the meaning? "
"Okay." The leaders were also puzzled. Did Mr. Long really not succeed?
"Let's talk about the bad first. This kind of Crystal Source Iron Beast doesn't know how to learn, nor does it know how to cultivate. In other words, they are like magic puppets. They don't know how to do anything on their own. The good thing is that they can gain experience in battle. The more they fight, the higher their level. In addition, they seem to be able to share experience with each other. When one of them fights, the others can also gain some experience. "
"Like soldiers in the army?"
"Yes. They are like pure soldiers. They don't think, only obey, and always grow in battle. Also, the controller can order them to enter some kind of cultivation. It has to be an order. We also noticed something important: Mr. Long can summon them back with magic. "The Source Iron Beastman said something shocking.
"What do you mean?" The leaders were shocked. They vaguely understood the consequences.
"It means what it means. They have some kind of magic mark similar to a 'serial number.' When Mr. Long needs it, he can summon the Crystal Source Iron Beasts back like an anti-summon. However, this is not an effect of summoning, because they do exist. Just imagine, when Mr. Long needs them to fight, they fight. When Mr. Long needs them back, they are recalled like a stack of cards or a handful of sand. "
"Life can't be so obedient."
"That's why we said that they should be defined as puppets. They are more like magic puppets. They can be summoned and recalled, but they don't know how to resist. In terms of life, a life that has fallen into this state is worse than a slave. However, in battle, they are as brave and fearless as undead skeletons. They only fight according to their master's will. "The Source Iron Beastman finished speaking and looked at the leaders quietly.
At this moment, the leaders were also stunned.
They finally understood why the scholar said that he wasn't sure if Mr. Long's technique had failed.
This mode … was very likely intentional.
Mr. Long's actions were disrespectful to life itself and had interfered with the life of the community. However, he had obtained the strongest army of soldiers. It was possible that Mr. Long could have let the Source Iron Beasts live freely, but he had deliberately chosen this mode of puppets. Anyway, he didn't need to sympathize with the Source Iron Beasts.
They were all enemies.
Should they talk about human rights first before fighting?
In terms of tactics, it was much easier to control the enemy by turning them into their own puppet soldiers than by turning them into their own captives. Mr. Long didn't need a kingdom of Source Iron Beasts. He only needed a group of materials for research and a group of soldiers for battle. Mr. Long was a lone ranger. He didn't need to govern for any race, nor did he need to pity any kind of life.
A scholar like him would do whatever was convenient for him.
"What's the use to us?" The first thing the leaders thought of was to kill them all to prevent Mr. Long from summoning them back.
"Very useful. They are a pile of materials, a perfect combination of materials. Perhaps you don't know, but they have been very calm after being captured, like undead skeleton soldiers who have lost their commander. They didn't react much even when we tortured them. "
"So they still have a reaction?"
"Yes, that's the most peculiar thing. They are puppets, but they have the senses of a living being, such as seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting. Because they are crystal beings, they don't need to eat. When we studied them, they were very calm, as easy as studying corpses. We don't have a clue about the combination of crystal and Source Iron for now. However, give us some time, and I believe we will find a way. "
"Prioritize finding a way to prevent this invasion. If nothing unexpected happens, those people outside will also find a way to 'poison' us. "
"Yes."
"Last time, are they safe?"
"They are. After many tests and perfect surveillance, everything is laid out in front of us. Even if they cause trouble, hehe, we can easily kill them without the support of the Source Iron Planet. "The Source Iron Beastmen were very confident. After all, they had taken action when they received them and had already perfectly controlled them.
The leaders nodded and dispersed.
At this time.
What everyone didn't know was that the real eyes weren't on the Crystal Source Iron Beasts!
When they were hit, captured, and dragged away, the Source Iron Beasts that defeated and dragged them away were stained with something: crystal dust! To be precise, some of the crystal beings' "dust crystal pieces" drifted into the air, following the successful Source Iron Beasts into the crypt. They were really dust. After the crystal beings were damaged, they scattered, shattered, and drifted everywhere.
Like blood.
After magical beasts and humans were injured, it was normal for there to be blood drifting into the air.
Crystal beings had no blood.
Only debris.
After drifting into the crypt, these "dust mirrors" were not driven by magic. Because any magic fluctuation would be monitored by the Inner Star Array, even the faintest ripple would be detected. The dust mirrors drifted naturally, just like dust in the air. Unless a Source Iron Beast passed by and stirred up a breeze, they would float. Otherwise, they would stay quietly on the ground, without the slightest movement.
The Source Iron Beasts also checked many times, strictly checking everything with magic.
In their minds.
If there was magic, there was the possibility of communication, and if there was magic, there was the possibility of spying. On the contrary, if there was no magic, then it wasn't worth paying attention to. In the void, things without magic were equivalent to not being alive, who would care about some dust? On the Source Iron Planet, there were more iron shavings here than anywhere else. Even when two Source Iron Beasts were training, there were countless dust swirling around.
The ground position.
Tang Shidao had been waiting patiently, waiting for those "dust mirrors" to appear. Tang Shidao couldn't drive those dust mirrors, but there was a way to see them.
This was a method that no one would have expected.
Bystander!
The name of this skill beyond Great Perfection was very strange. It sounded like a voyeuristic function. However, in fact, it couldn't peek at a corner of the void at will. It had to be "bystander" looking at things related to itself. At first, it could only look at the human race, familiar people, and related people. Later, some human-faced beasts were added, and later on, crystal beings.
Strictly speaking.
Tang Shidao couldn't see the scenery around these "dust mirrors," because the dust mirrors used to belong to crystal beings, so Tang Shidao could see their corpses.
What was more interesting was that these corpse fragments were mirrors.
Therefore.
In Tang Shidao's vision … there was a dark unknown world in front of him. Countless dust mirror fragments fell quietly or drifted with the wind. He couldn't see any scenery in the dark world, but these lights and shadows would be reflected in the dust mirrors. Seeing the contents of the dust mirrors, he could naturally analyze what was around him and what the landscape was.
Dust mirrors were different from real mirrors. They were corpse fragments, and they could absorb a little light and take the initiative to enter the landscape.
Of course, if they were really corpse fragments, they would automatically disintegrate over a period of time.
The more they broke, the smaller they became, and eventually they would be melted by the energy in the air.
During this period, Tang Shidao had to be lucky to see what he wanted to see. Otherwise, the dust mirrors would be set aside quietly, and all the means would be in vain. On the other hand, from the perspective of a bystander, nothing could be seen on the Crystal Source Iron Beasts. At most, he could only see the faces of those scholars and leading beasts. It was impossible to see the landscape outside the cell.
The further and wider the dust mirrors drifted, the more things Tang Shidao could "see."
Because they were only drifting naturally.
Therefore, everything depended on his face.
What was more pleasing was that Tang Shidao's face seemed to have always been very good … The interior of the Source Iron Planet was impressively a city!
