Chapter 1183 City?
"This is... the city of crystallization. Tomato Novel Network☆ -``-`"
The mechanical water strider stopped, and its color slowly changed, blending with all the crystal-colored objects around it. The creatures inside observed the situation outside through the image screen.
Looking outside, you can see a scene like this - countless buildings made of crystal structures are standing on the ground with the same crystal luster, and many flying objects of different shapes are flying in the sky. This is this city. main appearance.
"I have to say... this is very similar to our city, but there is no ground transportation." The scholar looked at the picture and said: "There is also something very strange. I did not see the Beginning Realm here."
In the streets of the Crystal City, there is no sign of the Beginning Realm, but many... other creatures can be seen.
Crystalline creatures of different shapes are moving in this city. There are many of them and they are rich in variety, but no matter what kind of creatures they are, their actions are consistent.
"These should be the beginning." Blasting Bug said: "Maybe these in the city imitated the appearance of various creatures. Anyway, we have to test whether our disguise is useful here."
As he said that, the Howling Bug poked at the scene in front of him. Immediately, the Water Strider shook a few times, and a ball of soft material came out from the bottom of the Water Strider.
"Is this...a disguise?"
"This is disguised as the original Beginning Realm. Let's see if it can succeed. Now let's start exploring with it..."
The blaster poked the screen again, and the soft material moved like an amoeba, and it began to crawl away. ☆ Tomato Novel Network ---``--`---
The water strider is now located next to a building on the edge of the city in the beginning. This group of amoeba bypassed the building and walked into the 'streets' of the city.
"many……"
The 'streets' of the city are quite crowded, with countless crystalline creatures of different shapes coming and going, which reminds scholars once again of the virtual people who are constantly working in the city.
Although it was born on the Wanderer and has never experienced it. However, he has seen the information of his own world countless times, so this world gives him a... 'sense of déjà vu'.
The camouflaged amoeba moved along the edge of the street, and no crystalline creature stopped to pay attention to it. This seemed to mean that the camouflage... was successful?
“It’s changing color now.
Explosive Roaring Bug said: "Wait a minute while I remove the discoloration and see how they react." "
"Wait a minute! Didn't you notice?" This sentence was... said by Scorpion: "This place and these idiots are very strange!"
Scorpion, who had been calling to kill Xue Wu's head and go back, suddenly became interested in what was going on here, which made the scholar curiously ask: "What's so strange?"
"They look like they are very busy. Tomato Novel Network ```-``-`-`Actually they are not busy at all." Scorpion poked the screen and said: "Look, this one looks like a frog The same idiot, it just walked far away and then came back..."
"It seems really..."
According to what it said, the scholar did see a crystalline creature like a frog. It walked for a while among the busy crystalline creatures, then returned to its original place, and then continued walking.
To put it simply, it is just walking over and over again.
"This phenomenon is worth studying." The Blasters continued to let the soft-bodied creatures penetrate deep into the city and move along the streets. A large number of crystalline creatures could be seen walking around everywhere.
After seeing too much. It can already be seen that the crystalline creatures here are very different from the cities of the virtual people... although they seem to be very similar at first.
But the creatures here are very strange.
In the busy Xumin city, the Xumin people on the streets almost only have two purposes - to walk to take transportation, or to enter a certain building.
The creatures here did not do these two things... Although most of them did not move repeatedly within a small distance like the previous ones, they did not enter any buildings, did not take any transportation, and were not even seen stopping. Come down to communicate or do other things.
Although there were many flying objects in the sky, they never came down and I never saw which building they were going to land on. Tomato☆Novel Network `-`
"Then. Just... don't eliminate the discoloration for the time being and continue researching."
The blastworms continue to move the amoeba around the city. As time goes by, the sky slowly becomes darker... There are no stars in the night sky of this world. Looking up at the sky, you can only see a layer of white mist covering the sky.
And the ground was... extremely shiny.
All the crystalline buildings in the city emit light of different colors, and some are still flashing. This once again reminded scholars of the colorful advertising boards in Xumin City, but these buildings just glowed. There's nothing in the light...at least they can't see it.
And the crystalline creatures in the city are still walking back and forth, like a river that will never stop.
"Many results have been obtained now." Blasting Bug said: "After a day of observation, I found that almost all of these creatures are...moving repeatedly, but the range of movement is different."
"Gah...are these things crazy?" Xue Wu's head said, "They keep walking like that. Aren't they tired?"
"Idiot! I said they were just pretending!" Scorpion: "These things have many secrets to hide from us!"
"They must have some reason." The scholar said: "Maybe moving around like this can have some special effect. In short, these crystalline creatures are not residents of the city. They are like... machinery in a factory, always running. , but I don’t know what they are doing.□ ○ ◇Tomato Novel Network-`---`-``--``”
"That is to say, this is not a city, it's just a factory..." Blasters said: "It's a little difficult to blend in with them now. All the buildings are quite solid and have no visible entrances, and those flying things never landing……"
"Catch one and investigate it." Scorpion shouted: "Kill it and dig it up, you will definitely find something! Act quickly, don't be slow! You don't know anything if you stay here! "
"Stop screaming!" Xue Wu said: "They will definitely find you if you do this, and then kill you! We are in their world now!"
"You really should give it a try." Boomer said, "Then let's give it a try first."
The moment he finished speaking, the howling bug poked the screen again. The amoeba on the edge of the street suddenly stretched out a cylindrical object from its body, and then aimed at a crystalline creature that was walking over...
'boom! ’ With a burst of sound, more than half of the body of this crystalline creature was broken into pieces, and it fell to the ground.
In an instant, all the surrounding crystalline creatures scattered around the exploded crystalline creature, like a herd of beasts fleeing.
However, they quickly gathered back. A crystalline creature first touched the blasted half of the same kind that had half of its body left. Then it tore off some pieces from this half of the body, and then...put it into its mouth. .
There were sounds from its mouth, as if it was chewing.
The surrounding creatures also gathered around, and they also did the same thing... ate the remaining half of the body.
"Eat...they ate it?"
None of the creatures present expected this ending.
The amoeba casually blew up a crystalline creature. As a result, the surrounding crystalline creatures were first frightened away, and then gathered back to eat the corpse. This weird behavior was something they didn't expect at all, and... they didn't even think about it. Forget about the amoeba that kills them.
Maybe it's because the amoeba is still changing color.
"They really look like... cockroaches." Xue Wu's head said: "The behavior is almost exactly the same."
"Is that so?" the scholar asked.
"Yes, because I rarely... clean up the environment at home, so I have seen a lot." Xue Wu said: "They will immediately eat the bodies of the same kind that died nearby, and will not care about the reason why the same kind was killed. of."
"Yes, they are quite stupid." Scorpion said, "Just like you."
Blood Mist ignored Scorpion and continued: "But why...why do this group of crystalline creatures in this world show similar behavior?"
"In that case, let's do the next experiment." The Blaster said: "Remove the disguise and see what happens..."
After the words of the Explosive Worm fell, the color change of the amoeba slowly disappeared, and its figure appeared in front of the dense crystalline creatures.
The next second, this group of crystalline creatures moved. They all rushed towards the amoeba, and then tore it to pieces in an instant.
"...It seems that the color-changing camouflage can be successful." Blasting Bug said: "But even if the amoeba cancels the color change, it can still disguise itself as a creature that is almost the same as the Beginning Realm. This camouflage seems to have no effect."
"They are not necessarily the Beginning Realm..." the scholar said: "Xue Mist is right, they are like those bugs on the pom-poms, they eat whatever they see. No matter what, this... is not the city of the Beginning Realm. "
"Maybe we should go to the building and take a look." Boomer said, "We need to make some big moves."
"You don't want to blow up this place, do you?" the scholar said, "Are there any powerful weapons in this machine?"
"It's not like using this machine to explode..."
When the blaster was talking, the water strider also started to move. It quickly climbed up the wall of the building and soon reached the top of the building.
Looking at the dense group of crystalline creatures below, the Blasters continued: "We want to use that ship to blow up..."
‘Whoosh——’
Following the blaster's words, the creatures in the cockpit also saw a... crossbow arrow appear in the sky.
The crossbow bolt rushed into the street at high speed... and landed in the dense swarm of crystalline creatures. (To be continued.)
