"what is that……"
When the Void Folk raised their heads in disbelief that the sky was darkening, they saw something... weird.
The darkened sky has no stars, but moves slowly.
It felt like a giant...cloth.
Yes... like a huge, black cloth, it suddenly appeared and covered the sky, so it made the surroundings become like night.
However, as the 'cloth' moved slowly, bright light appeared on its edge, and the sky began to slowly recover a little light.
When the darkness of the sky is completely removed, the surroundings will return to the previous day.
"That seems to be some kind of creature..." Looking at the blackness removed from the sky, the scholar asked the blaster, "Do you know its information?"
"That thing is called a 'partial shadow'." Blower said. "Except for knowing that it occasionally darkens an area, everything is a mystery."
"Okay..." The scholar turned his head and said to the Void People behind him, "We... move on!"
Then, the scholar and his team members moved slowly, maintaining full vigilance, and they walked out of the place where the ground was covered with blue.
And what appeared in front of them was... a vast wasteland.
But it is not a pure wasteland, because there are many potholes on the ground, and there are shining lights in the potholes, as if there is a mirror inside.
"Don't get close to those pits." Bumblebee said: "That's a big creature, it's buried under the ground, when it senses something in the pit, it will conduct high temperature into the pit and give the things there to... cooked."
"It seems that this place is a little dangerous..." The scholar said: "Then let's go around it. How far is it... from the target camp?"
"Pause here for a moment." Bumblebee said, "This position is relatively safe, and it's not sure whether we can move forward."
"Not sure..." asked the scholar, "What does this mean?"
"The behavior of the creatures here has changed." The popper said: "They have not changed much before. But since I came here just now, I found that they have changed a lot, so the previously scheduled 'safe place' may It will become unsafe, so we need to re-establish the safe point, and stop here first."
"……so be it."
According to the opinion of Blower, the scholar asked the team members to set up tents here. This is just the gap between the 'blue zone' and the 'mirror zone'. The ground is just ordinary rocky ground, without any strange things, and it feels very safe.
After the tent was set up, the team members in charge of the research carried out various investigations around, and the soldiers guarded the surrounding area.
And the scholar has been looking at the potholed plain ahead...
The mirrors in the potholes on the plain continue to reflect dazzling light. Although this light is very dazzling, it has an inexplicable sense of attraction, making scholars want to get close to the potholes to have a look.
Scholars restrained such sentiments. However, scholars noticed that a small creature flew down from the sky and landed next to a pothole.
This creature has four black wings. Its body is cylindrical, about one meter long and covered with fine black hairs. Climb into the pit.
'hiss--! '
There was a scream. Scholars found traces of black smoke coming out of the potholes.
The scholar couldn't help but stood up and walked closer to the pothole to have a look. It was found that the four-winged creature in the pothole was scorched as if it had been hit by lightning.
Its fine hair was emitting scorched smoke.
"This is really powerful..." The scholar wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but the voice of the blaster sounded: "Don't get any closer."
"Okay." The scholar stopped, and just stood by the pit to observe. Only then did it notice that the light on the pit seemed not so bright, and it didn't feel dazzling even if it was so close.
At the same time the scholar saw... the charred body in the pit slowly... sinking in.
It's like sinking into a swamp. The entire corpse was sinking into the mirror bit by bit... the body, wings, and the last remaining fine hairs also disappeared without a trace.
The mirror surface was back to its original smoothness and brightness, spotless, as if nothing had ever fallen on it.
"What kind of creature is this..." The scholar became more and more fascinated the more he looked at it. It asked Bumblebee, "Can you... test test?"
"I don't have a complete understanding of this creature." Blower said: "Doing so may lead to unpredictable consequences, but you can give it a go. Curiosity may cause a person to die tragically, or it may cause the entire Civilization achieves great things, and doesn't the saying go, how can a great adventure unfold without dying?"
"I just said you don't always talk about the words in the movie..." The scholar said: "Forget it, let's try it anyway."
As he spoke, the scholar picked up a stone and threw it on the mirror.
After the stone was thrown up, the same thing as before did not happen... It would be better if nothing happened, it just lay there quietly, without sinking into it, and it didn't look like it was burnt.
"It seems that it can identify food and non-food..." The scholar said suspiciously: "That's strange, why is the mirror so clean? There should be a lot of small gravel and dust on it, or it will regularly To clean up..."
"Be careful! Roll over!"
The sound of the blower suddenly sounded, and the scholar also noticed a huge black shadow rushing towards the sky at the same time.
The scholar immediately rolled on the ground, and the black shadow fell on its place. The scholar found that the black shadow was a sharp object, somewhat like... a spear.
The scholar subconsciously wondered if something was throwing spears here from a distance, and the guards next to the camp also noticed the situation here, and they rushed over immediately.
"Who is attacking here?" A guard raised his weapon and looked towards the sky, but although the 'spear' flew from the sky, he couldn't see anything there.
'Crack! ’ Just as they were staring at the sky, the spear on the ground suddenly flew up. Under the surprised eyes of the Void People, the spear moved slowly in the air, and flew to the stone thrown by the scholar. on that pothole.
Then the spear stuck to the rock that the scholar had thrown in, and then it swish... and flew back into the sky faster than it had come before, and then disappeared.
"Then... what is it?"
The scholars and soldiers all stared blankly, completely confused about what was going on.
However, after this time, the scholar didn't casually go around those potholes in the mirror...
In this way, a period of time passed, probably the day and night time of a few Void People. During this period, the Burger decided to let the scholars set up camp here instead of looking for new places.
The scholars basically agreed, and other researchers also said that it didn't matter, and then the scholars contacted the general.
After the general knew about it, he decided to send more troops here and build a large camp at this location, so that he could observe this place through this camp for a long time.
Now scholars and this group of researchers did not go back so quickly, but continued to study here for a while.
Even so, they basically dare not go far, but have been conducting research near the camp, and scholars have been observing the potholes.
After observing for a period of time, it basically knew what it was that threw the spear last time.
It seems to be an...invisible creature, at least there is no way to detect it or see it directly. It may be hidden in the air at a height of tens of meters, and it will drop something like a spear.
The back of this spear is connected by something like a transparent thread, so it can be retracted, and it has three purposes for throwing the spear.
The first is to snatch food. Scholars later saw a few times when creatures fell on the mirror and were scorched. At this time, spears would occasionally drop down and stick the scorched creatures away.
The second is to clean up the mirror surface. From the point of view of predation, the spear-throwing creature seems to be hostile to the mirror surface, but it will help the mirror surface to clean up the things that fall on it, such as stones. Scholars also found that small The dust on the mirror will sink in and disappear directly, while the big stones need to be cleaned with a spear...
The third is that the spear will also attack creatures that wander within the pitted mirror area, even if it doesn't fall into the pit.
Recording the attack pattern and habits of this creature, as well as the power and speed of the attack, the scholar felt that he could pass through this potholed area without being attacked.
However, the blaster let it stay here for a while, and don't run around, so the scholars continued to study here.
In fact, scholars are more interested in mirrors than spear-throwing creatures. How does this creature work? How does it eat?
Just when the scholars were wondering about this, the general's first troops arrived. These troops included a group of soldiers, some construction workers, and remote-controlled machinery for construction.
Here they plan to build a metal fence with a diameter of about 100 meters, and then build buildings in the fence.
This is also just right for the size of this safe area.
But this army brought not only the things that the Void People used to build the camp, but also some... other things.
These are small alloy spiders that are mainly used for more subtle research.
They can let the scholar understand what is going on with the mirror. At the same time, some... companions of the scholar also came, and these companions expressed that they would go on an adventure with the scholar in this world. (to be continued...)
