Chapter 1180 The Long Swamp
Strange-colored light shines down from high in the sky, making the entire water surface shine with dazzling light.
On this piece of water, there is a huge machine that is moving slowly.
This machine resembles a creature called a 'water strider'. It has six limbs and is up to six meters long. In its cockpit, three different creatures are waiting.
They are watching the outside environment while controlling the machinery to move forward.
Although the mechanical prototype 'Water Strider' is a creature that can slide on water, this machine does not have this ability at all. Instead, it uses its limbs to move on the bottom of the water, so its speed is not so...ideal.
"This thing is quite powerful." The scholar stayed at the front of the cockpit and said to the blaster behind: "That ship can actually build so many things..."
"Of course, because there is a dream extractor, it can be made as long as there are enough materials." Blasting Bug said: "But there are almost no materials now. The materials used to repair you and build this machine are almost exhausted. If you still want to Whatever you build must be made with local materials.”
"Collecting materials... Speaking of which, we seem to have never found anything." The upper part of the cockpit is transparent, so the scholar can look around and see this pink swamp extending far away. , they have been walking here for more than a thousand seconds, and they still can't see the end. All they can see is light pink water and crystal stones everywhere.
‘Bang bang——’ The water strider stopped in front of a stone, stretched out its forelimbs and knocked it. The scholar said inside: “This seems to be a very brittle material.”
"Danger! Get away quickly!" The Howling Bug suddenly shouted, and the Water Strider Machine instantly retracted all its limbs and rolled quickly to one side on the water.
After rolling almost thirty meters away, the machine stopped and stretched out its limbs again. Scorpion, who was sitting at the back, suddenly shouted: "Ahhh! Why are you rolling away! Don't you know it will bump into each other?" "
"Because there is that thing." The Explosive Roaring Bug pointed to the place just now, and the crystal stone that was knocked just shook. With the shaking, it slowly rose from the water.
With it rises. As well as the body at the bottom, scholars found that it seemed to be a... very long object, with a long and smooth structure connected to the back of the stone, in general. It's like a... worm.
The crystallized stone that was knocked just now is its head. It is now shaking left and right on the water, as if it is looking for what it was that knocked it just now.
But it quickly shrank back,
Then it was back to normal.
"It seems that this is... a wild creature from the Beginning World." The scholar said, "Its head looks like a stone, maybe it's a disguise."
"Maybe it's not a head, but it's not necessarily a tail. Maybe it's not a creature, but it's not necessarily a tentacle of a huge creature." Blasters said: "Maybe it's a bomb. Don't knock these things casually. "
"In this case, you can control it." The scholar said: "If I also have control over the machine, I will definitely want to check it everywhere."
"Yes... you have to do a test first, like this." When the Explosive Roaring Bug said, the water strider also quickly ran to the nearby crystal stone, and then with a beep, the front section of the water strider machine radiated light There was a tiny ray of light.
Then the scholar discovered that a screen popped up in front of his eyes, which displayed the detailed structure and composition of the crystallized stone.
"It turns out there is such a function." The scholar said, "I didn't know it before..."
"It must have such a function." Blasting Bug said: "Anyway, let's move on."
With that said, the Water Strider Machine began to move forward on this swamp...as time slowly passed. The distances they travel are also getting farther and farther.
However, this swamp is still so vast.
"We have traveled almost more than a hundred kilometers." The water strider stopped, and the blaster said to the scholar: "We still haven't seen anything useful."
"Yes." The scholar said: "There are very few creatures here. I have only seen two kinds so far. One is the one disguised as a stone, and the other is... a plant?"
The scholar said and looked to the left. Twenty meters away from the water strider, there was a tree-like thing. It was more than three meters high, with a shining trunk covered with curled chips. Although it looked It's like something carved from a meticulously crafted creature. But here scholars are more willing to believe that this is a wild creature.
It can be seen everywhere here. Because this kind of thing has never been seen moving, scholars first called it a plant.
"I feel it now!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the cockpit. Both the Blaster and the Scholar looked over... and saw the Scorpion, who had been quite quiet during the exploration process and had not spoken at all, shouting: "Don't you feel it? It's nearby, I found it!"
"What did you say?" said the scholar. "What did you feel?"
"That's the head!" said the scorpion: "That head is nearby! I can already feel its fear, it knows that death is coming!"
"That head?" the scholar asked, "Didn't you say you have no head?"
"It should be talking about that head." Blasters said: "The commander of the Emerald Dragon has a... head."
"What?" The scholar was stunned and asked, "What does having a head mean?"
"That's something related to the dream." Boomer said: "There are many special rewards in the dream that lead to this result. Let's not talk about those complicated things. I want to ask you..."
Boomstick looked at Scorpion and said, "Why do you know that head is here? Why is it here?"
"Of course I know!" Scorpion said, "Because I once put some tracking things on its... body."
"Then why are you doing this?" Blasting Bug continued to ask.
"Because I want to make sure it can't survive!" Scorpion said: "I didn't kill it before because it was useful. But now the effect has ended, so I want to kill it!"
"So, where is it?" Blasting Bug said, "Take us to find it."
"No problem, it's right there..."
‘Beep beep beep—! ’ When Scorpion was about to say something, the scholar’s detector made another sound.
"Is it that thing?" The scholar looked at the signal carefully. It was exactly the same as what it had detected on the ship before. (To be continued.)
