Chapter 873 Exploring Team

"Now, the road is open, the first troops are ready to dispatch!"

Here is a channel that can reflect light. ●⌒,

Whether it is the ground or the walls, they are all made of mirrors. Wonderful lights flicker between the mirrors, and the words of the ground mirror are also transmitted in these lights.

"Remember your mission, you are the troops to explore, you will reach the boundary of the soft-bodied creatures through a relatively long but not too long cave system, and then...explore them!!!"

The light in the entire passage flickered quickly, expressing the intensity of the 'tone'.

"You can kill them, but you can't go deep. You mainly need to establish a base in a suitable place, and then communicate with this place. Now you are ready to go!"

"Ready!"

There are neatly arranged ground mirrors in the passage, and they together emit a golden light above their heads to express their response.

Then, they 'looked' towards the front of the passage together.

This passage didn't extend too far. More than three meters in front of it was the furthest distance the mirror passage extended. If you continue to go forward, you will enter a rock cave.

Because this place is the bottom of the city of ground mirrors, and if you go further down, you will enter a new area... an underground area composed of a large number of intricate cave environments.

The various civilizations connecting the world have various names for this underground area, and the ground mirror calls it...'labyrinth'.

It's very simple, and it's also very appropriate... The labyrinth is also the place where these ground mirrors will go to perform their mission.

Not long ago, the king of ground mirrors had already announced to the whole city, told every ground mirror the detailed information about the underground mollusk creatures, and decided to launch an assault on them in an all-round way.

The excavators of the ground mirror continued to excavate, constructing passages one after another under the city. These passages were located in different positions in the city, and they all connected to the labyrinth of the underground world at the bottom of the city.

It's not that the ground mirrors haven't explored the maze before, so they got this name. This place is complicated and easy to get lost. There are also strange creatures living in it. Because it is very dangerous and has no resources, the 'ancestors' of the ground mirror blocked the road leading to the maze. This is also to prevent strange creatures from entering the city.

A long time has passed since then. The ground mirrors have never been to the underground labyrinth. They obtain resources from the ground and live a stable life.

Until now, after the king decided to invade the soft-bodied creatures underground, he ordered to dig the road leading to the labyrinth again, and dispatched multiple exploration teams.

These teams will pass through the maze. Reaching the edge of mollusc territory, these teams are needed to explore, as direct armies may get lost inside.

Exploration teams will mark the route they have traveled along the way, and as long as one exploration team successfully arrives, the following troops can move along its route.

Even if they haven't arrived, the exploration team still has the task of drawing a map of the maze. All in all, the ground mirror has already planned to fully enter this underground world.

Now, Wang has dispatched a total of sixty teams.

Each team is composed of 17 ground mirrors, which feels like a small number, but this is just an advance exploration team. Based on the various threats they encounter, they decide how many troops to dispatch next.

Simply put, the current army is going out to seek death.

But none of the ground mirrors cared about such things. They were ready to set off with confidence, as if they thought they would definitely be able to complete the task.

Therefore, they did not notice that a creature that did not belong to the same kind had mixed into their group.

Lin's... spies.

The spy got mixed into a team, and of course there were many other spies, but they didn't take any action, this time it was just one spy.

More spies have to follow the big troops behind, so Lin is now paying attention to the only spy who is dispatched first.

"We're going! Let's go! Let's go!"

The surrounding ground mirror teammates are sending gentle light to each other to communicate.

Whenever a ground mirror is irradiated by a companion, it will immediately shine on another companion, and in a short moment, they have fully communicated with each other.

The content of their communication is almost the same. That is to go!

The ground mirrors began to move forward. The three-meter-long passage was very long for the ground mirrors, but it didn't take too long to walk through it.

Soon, the team came to the end of the passage, which was also the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

The whole team stopped here. As if hesitating, after a few seconds, the ground mirrors in this team all shone brightly at the same time.

"We must be cautious. Advance slowly. Prepare weapons and attack at any time. Request more members.  …"

Different from the previous "speech-style" communication that took turns shining, these ground mirrors light up together, and each light represents a meaning. Their ideas are different, so the light emitted is as colorful and rich as a rainbow at this moment.

However, after a few seconds, some of the light went out, and the color of the remaining light became monotonous, but it remained on.

The communication of the ground mirror is basically like this. First, various opinions are put forward together, and then they will quickly decide which opinions are the most effective, and those who are considered effective will keep their lights on.

The valid ones are not necessarily the majority. In fact, Lin has not fully understood how they decide whose opinion to adopt.

Sometimes several different opinions are adopted, as long as these opinions do not conflict, the ground mirror basically decides everything in this way.

Therefore, this team does not have a leader such as a captain, and any actions are decided by the group, but if the group is too large, they will not decide in this way, so the earth mirror civilization needs a king of earth mirrors to command them.

While Lin was thinking, the ground mirrors had already entered the cave.

This cave looks very ordinary, the surrounding stone walls and ground are blue, covered with protruding small stones, and some microorganisms are active.

Lin noticed that there were fewer microorganisms here, compared to the ground, and they were not so aggressive.

There is water vapor in the air, there should be a water source or something nearby.

The diameter of the entire cave is only ten centimeters, and the team of ground mirrors lined up and slowly moved forward, with Lin's ground mirror walking at the end in order to observe various situations.

In this way, it progressed for almost a hundred seconds.

The entrance to the passageway into the cave has long since been invisible, and all ground mirrors are now advancing in the dark cavern.

Although ground mirrors communicate with light, their perception does not necessarily require light. They perceive in a way similar to hearing, that is, they perceive the vibration of objects around them. This vibration will be received by the liquid in their bodies to judge the specific shape of the object. such information.

Under normal circumstances, the range is very small, generally no more than 30 cm in radius, but this range can be enlarged when the ground mirror is focused.

"There is movement."

Suddenly, the front ground mirror lighted up slightly, and all the ground mirrors stopped.

Although its light is fleeting, it is like lightning in the night sky, instantly illuminating the entire dark cave.

At the same time, Lin also noticed that there was a... moving thing more than one meter away in front of it.

This thing should be the living creature in this 'labyrinth'. It has a body length of two centimeters, and its body shape is like a creature called...'rat woman'.

Its skin looks like cracked rock, and it has a lot of tiny legs underneath.

It seems to be a creature suitable for living in this underground.

"Decided to attack."

While Lin was observing carefully, a ground mirror in the team suddenly lit up.

Immediately, all the ground mirrors lit up with the same light, and they stepped forward one after another, aiming at the creature with their cutting-edge weapons.

'Whoosh! '

A sharp object flew through the air, and in an instant, the creature was covered with spikes from the ground mirrors.

It also fell to the ground, motionless.

Although I heard that the ground mirrors were killed by the heroes a lot, they still look very powerful, but it feels a bit imprudent for them to attack casually like this.

The ground mirrors walked forward and came to the creature they shot, and they ignored the creature, but recovered the spikes from it.

Some of the spikes were not damaged, but were stuffed back into the head by the ground mirror.

The way the ground mirror grasps objects is mainly by using some tiny hook-like structures on the surface of the body.

These tiny hooks can extend out, and the large number of hooks can grab objects around the body, but only small things, such as the spikes they shoot.

After the spikes were collected, they continued to move forward. Only Lin's spy stopped and inspected the creature that looked like a rat woman.

This is a multicellular organism, and what kills it is the venom applied to the spikes by the ground mirror. This organism has a lot of... microbes, so it doesn't have a digestive system, and it seems to be completely dependent on microbes to help it decompose food. nutrient.

It turns out that it is a relatively...simple and easy-to-understand creature.

Lin's spies continued to follow the ground mirrors, and after tens of seconds, they stopped again.

This place called a labyrinth finally showed the characteristics of a labyrinth. There was a fork in the cave in front of it. The ground mirrors hesitated for about three seconds, and they decided to go in a random direction.

Therefore, they entered the fork on the left.

After walking in the dark for a while, more forks appeared in front of the exploration team. This time, they also chose a direction randomly as before.

The situation is the same after that, the route becomes more and more complicated, and the team does not choose a special direction but walks casually, so there are often situations where they come to a dead end and then go back.

Seems to be completely lost in the maze... (To be continued.)
