Hao Ren once thought that the guardian giants like Muru and Lemendusa, who had participated in the final battle, would know enough about the secrets of the goddess of creation. But it turned out that the goddess, who had been eroded for a long time and wavered between kindness and madness, had kept more secrets than anyone could imagine. The goddess of creation had done many "secret projects" in the process of her gradual splitting of will, and many of these projects were probably not something Muru and the other two could understand.
For example, everything in Star Cluster X.
Muru and Lemendusa did not even know that there was a group of compatriots in Star Cluster X carrying out an ancient mission left behind by the goddess of creation. These hidden guardian giants and the Denizens of the Stars were guarding some kind of line of defense. They had even built a huge planetary battleship, and there was more than one of these planetary battleship. And on the planetary battleship, there were some strange, chattering sprites that the goddess of creation had created.
Yes, the name of these little creatures was really "fairies".
All of this was something that Hao Ren had never thought of before he came here.
"The goddess of creation created us!" "Yes, yes, the goddess of creation is so nice!" "The goddess gave us a mission …" "But we can't say it!"
When asked about their origin, the sprites answered in their usual messy way. Hao Ren was first surprised that the goddess of creation had created such a wonderful life without anyone knowing, and then he was curious about the "mission" they were talking about.
"Why can't we say it?" Hao Ren looked at one of the sprites standing in front of him. It was a short-haired smart-ass, and judging from his clothes, it should be a boy. "Is it because the mission needs to be kept secret?"
"Because we are not sure what the mission is!" The sprite said excitedly, and his companions around him echoed in a rapping way. "The goddess created the sprites from lightning and stones!" "Then she gave the sprites a mission, a very great mission!" "But only the queen knows what the mission is …" "So the sprites can't tell you!"
"The queen?" Hao Ren and Vivian frowned at the same time. Vivian could not help but ask, "Where is your queen? Can we see her? "
All the fairies looked at each other and cried in unison, "But we don't have a queen!"
Hao Ren: "…"
He suddenly felt that it was impossible to understand the logic of this race before he became familiar with them. He was afraid that he would die of a nervous breakdown sooner or later if he forced himself to be entangled in these questions. This was the first time he saw a guy with more leaps and bounds than Lily, and there were so many of them at once!
Could it be that when the goddess of creation created these sprites, she only had time to make a draft before she was stabbed …
More and more sprites came from all directions. Hao Ren was sure that these strange creatures had a special way of moving. They might be able to travel quickly on this continent because many sprites appeared out of thin air and stones. Hao Ren felt like he was surrounded by countless chaotic waves of noise. He realized that it was not a good time to talk while he was being "watched" by the fairies.
"Can you take us to where you live?" He tried to put on a kind smile as he squatted in front of the three representatives of the sprites. "And … can you provide a slightly quieter environment? We can't communicate with you in such a chaotic situation. "
He thought that it would take a little more persuasion to get the sprites to understand and agree to his request, but the sprites understood immediately. "Ah, I know, I know! We have to go to a serious place to talk! " "The guardian giants also said that we are too noisy …" "But we don't understand what they mean at all!" "But even though we don't understand what they mean, it still makes sense." "We will bring you to where we live!"
It sounded like even the guardian giant could not stand the personality of these sprites.
As Hao Ren speculated, these sprites lived in the city and temple left behind by the guardian giant. They did not have their own buildings.
They were more like a symbiotic creature, coexisting with the guardian giant, or rather … coexisting with the planetary battleship.
In an ancient but well-preserved pyramid-shaped temple, Hao Ren was brought to their settlement by the three representatives of the sprites, which was one of the main living areas of the sprites. The settlement consisted of three interconnected halls. On the walls of each hall, Hao Ren saw neatly arranged crystal lattices. Those were the "houses" where the sprites lived.
This surprised Hao Ren, Vivian, and even Lil Pea.
Even the little mermaid thought that a group of creatures living in crystal lattices was too strange.
"You live in … this kind of thing?" Hao Ren looked curiously at the crystals embedded in the wall. They had a regular equilateral triangular structure, like prisms arranged densely on the wall in a crisscross pattern. The cross-section size of these crystals was about the size of an ordinary car wheel. Around each crystal, there were thin lines that looked like energy pipelines extending all the way into the depths of the building.
A sprite in a long dress with short hair hopped happily in front of Hao Ren. "Yes, yes! This doesn't look big, but it's spacious inside! We usually rest here, just like this — "
As the sprite's voice trailed off, she had already dived into the crystal. The process was as easy as a ghost passing through a wall. As the sprite entered the crystal, the crystal and the energy lines around it brightened.
It was as if the one who jumped in was not a sprite but a Nanfu …
Lil Pea slapped her tail and let out a long cry of surprise. "Wow —"
A few seconds later, the sprite's head emerged from the surface of the crystal. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked quite happy. "You can come in too! It's spacious in here! "
The other two sprites who came with her also chirped, "Yes, yes! You are a friend, and friends can come in! "" It's very spacious inside. "" Oh, I can't seem to find my psionic regulator again … "
Hao Ren scratched his head awkwardly. "Err … In theory, creatures like us can't get into the crystal like you guys …"
"Ah, it sounds so regrettable …" The sprite jumped out of the crystal and said, shaking her head. Her two companions also said, "Ah, it sounds so regrettable …"
But Hao Ren no longer paid attention to the sprite's words and behavior. His attention was attracted by the crystals embedded in the wall.
The blue-white color, the unique surface texture, the shimmer after being filled with energy, and most importantly …
There were obvious electric arcs jumping between the crystals, and the way the electric arcs jumped seemed to be constantly resonating.
He pushed the PDA that was lying on his shoulder, pretending to be an epaulet. "MDT."
The MDT's voice rang in his head. "That's right, buddy. I have confirmed the energy sample. It is indeed the resonant crystal."
Hao Ren noticed that Vivian's eyes had also changed. Obviously, she had also figured out the origin of the crystals.
"These crystals … What's their relationship with you guys?" Vivian looked at the long-haired sprite and asked in a very flat tone.
But in fact, she did not have to care about the tone and the way she asked the question. The sprite would take the initiative to spill the beans. "Sprites were originally born from stones!" "Of course, the guardian giants also call these stones' crystals'." "The goddess used the power of lightning to 'transform' the sprites!"
These sprites were energy creatures born from the resonant crystals!
No matter how imaginative Hao Ren was, he had not thought of this before. The goddess of creation not only carried out a major project on the mysterious crystal planet, but also used the crystals to create a new strange race?
What was she trying to do? What were these sprites for?
After knowing the origin of the sprites, Hao Ren also figured out something else. "That is to say, there are a lot of resonant crystals on this wreckage. That's why you guys received our resonant signal, and our resonant signal broke the silent state of communication?"
The long-haired sprite was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted. "Ah! Ah! So it was you guys who sent the signal! "
"The signal you sent resonated with our crystals!" "And the signal power was so high that the usual shielding methods were ineffective!" "We almost died! Those bad guys followed the signal directly to find us! "
Hearing the three sprites chattering and exasperated, Hao Ren suddenly felt a headache coming on. Did they only know about this now? He had asked Nolan to send him a document, and that document mentioned this matter …
He had no choice but to appease the agitated sprites first. He roughly explained that he had to activate the resonant antenna because he was looking for clues about the goddess of creation, and he did not know at that time that it would put the sprites in danger. He also promised to make up for this mistake, and before the threat of the festered monsters was completely resolved, he would always send the drone army to protect the sprites' homeland.
The sprites' emotions came and went quickly. In fact, they seemed to be so happy that they were almost crazy. After Hao Ren comforted them, the three little sprites calmed down and even became more enthusiastic than before.
Perhaps they had wisely judged that the protection of the drone army was more reliable than relying on the silent communication to hide?
Hao Ren felt that these sprites did not have such logical thinking ability …
"Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we should talk about more important things." Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. The process of dealing with the sprites was more tiring than practicing boxing with Lily. "As you know, we are looking for the crystal planet, which is the place where you were born. There was a war there, right? The Naqdal Planetary Fortress was destroyed on the battlefield over there, wasn't it? So do you know where the battlefield is? Can you take us there? "
The three sprites said in unison, "I don't know!"
