Chapter 1309 Weird Creatures
readx(); "Is this it...?"
This is a... place that should be considered a restaurant.
A mechanical dust crocodile... is communicating with the scholar.
It is quite difficult for scholars to communicate with mechanical dust crocodiles, because the sounds made by dust crocodiles are like some malfunction sounds made by mechanical jams, as well as collision sounds, etc.
It sounded as if the mechanical Dust Crocodile's body was falling apart.
But it does use these sounds to express information to the scholars. The mechanical dust crocodile keeps making these sounds to the scholars, which clearly indicates what it is saying to the scholars.
So scholars also worked very hard to understand the sound it made. Later, scholars finally understood this, that is, using some common methods, scholars first created three-dimensional images and displayed various things, and then let Dust Crocodile Say the pronunciation of the things in the image.
So slowly understand these sounds made by dust crocodiles...that is, what 'language' means...
Then, the scholar slowly understood what the Dust Crocodile wanted to express to it... The Dust Crocodile considered the scholar to be its kind, and decided to take the scholar to a place.
But before getting there, there will be many attacks.
"Is that it?"
The scholar's hand is now spread out in front of Dust Crocodile. In the palm of the scholar's hand, a small three-dimensional image is displayed.
What appears in the image is a nearby map, which the scholar drew when he followed the Beginning Realm all the way here. It just used the map when it and the Dust Crocodile understood each other's language.
Dust Crocodile expressed the pronunciation of every building and thing shown on the map in his own language, but he expressed that he did not recognize the Dust Crocodile in the Beginning Realm.
"Gada ka ka ka..." The Dust Crocodile stretched out its forelimbs, pointed at a location on the map, and made a continuous sound, indicating that it wanted to take the scholar there.
It was a hemispherical building nearby. Because its appearance was different from other buildings, the scholar had wanted to investigate there before.
Since this Dust Crocodile also said he wanted to go there, he should go there and have a look. The scholar felt that he would definitely find something useful.
But you must be careful before going there, because there are some dangerous things coming out here. When thinking of this... the scholar looked out the window.
Outside the window of the restaurant, there was a dark object. It was about two meters tall, with a cylindrical body and three limbs as legs to move the body.
There are no structures like hands, and the whole body is completely black, except for one thing... there is a glowing point in the center of its body, which looks a bit like its eyes.
This strange thing, temporarily called the "three-legged pillar", seems to be the culprit of the previous explosion, because the Dust Crocodile uses the same pronunciation for the "three-legged pillar" and the explosion.
Scholars also think that it may not be made of three-legged pillars, because if it were them, why didn't they blow it up now?
The three-legged pillar... I'm just staring at it from the window now, and there's more than one.
There were a total of six three-legged pillars standing outside the window. They remained motionless, pointing the only luminous point of their bodies into the restaurant. They looked very much like they were staring inside.
Scholars are unsure whether they were hostile.
‘Click’
Suddenly, the scholar heard the sound of shattering.
There were large cracks in the restaurant windows.
The material of this window seemed to be very similar to those commonly used by Xu Min. When the cracks spread rapidly, the entire window exploded into countless pieces with a 'pop' sound.
The scholar saw...a three-legged pillar...jumping up from outside.
It jumped at the edge of the window and jumped onto a table in the restaurant. This table was only ten meters away from the scholar. The scholar stood motionless and looked at the three-legged column.
The Dust Crocodile stayed under the table next to the scholar without making any sound.
'Beep...' The three-legged pillar made a strange sound, and its three legs began to move, walking from one table to... the next table, and just walked towards the scholar.
The scholar felt that maybe it shouldn't stay still. It raised one hand, and while preparing the weapon in its hand, it also said to the three-legged pillar: "Stop, don't come over."
Although it doesn't think San-Leg Zhu understands it... because it still uses the language of the Beginning Realm.
The scholar would like to use the language of the Dust Crocodile, but it has just learned some nouns, and the scholar feels that it cannot use it to communicate.
But the three-legged pillar really stopped like that. It remained motionless in place, as if it understood what the scholar said.
Moreover, the scholar also noticed that the other three-legged pillars that were originally outside the window all moved away and left the window and went to unknown places.
Strange, what exactly are they...
'boom! ’ When the scholar was confused, the dust crocodile beside him suddenly moved. The dust crocodile slammed from the ground towards the three-legged pillar on the table like a bullet.
In an instant, the three-legged column was knocked out. It hit the edge of the window first, then fell down and rolled from the table to the ground.
It seemed... it caused a lot of damage, and the three-legged pillar did not move at all. The dust crocodile that successfully attacked made a few clicking noises at the scholar. The scholar felt that this probably meant that it meant that it had won something.
The scholar walked to the three-legged pillar that was knocked down, and found that the eye-like light spot in the middle of the three-legged pillar was still on, and there seemed to be no damage on the whole. Could it be that the reason why it was motionless was internal injuries caused by the collision?
The scholar knocked on the outer shell of the three-legged column and felt that it should be made of metal, so the scholar tried to find a way to... dismantle the three-legged column.
When dismantling, the scholar paid great attention to the situation outside, but there were no similar three-legged pillars coming outside. They seemed to have gone far away.
The Dust Crocodile seemed to be watching the scholar dismantle the three-legged pillar with great interest.
The disassembly process is relatively rough, that is, cut the outer shell in half using cutting methods, and then break it apart to see the inner structure.
During the process, scholars discovered that this three-legged column was not a machine. Its metal shell was something similar to armor worn on the body, and there was a... flesh and blood body inside.
This is... a cell-like organism.
The scholar came up with this result after taking some ingredients on the epidermis, but after further research, he believes that...cyborg is the most suitable name.
This... three-legged column, part of the body is cells, and the other part is machinery. The mechanical part cooperates with the body to transport blood and nutrients.
As for its appearance, it is exactly the same as the metal armor it wears outside, which is in the shape of a pillar with three legs.
And the light spot that looks like an eye is actually a square thing installed on the armor.
The scholar now holds this thing in his hand. This thing looks a bit like...a flashlight. The front end emits light and the back end...
'boom! ’
The scholar suddenly heard an explosion outside. He turned around and saw a strong fire rising from the ground, but it was far away, so it did not affect it.
Could this be caused by... this?
Thinking about it, the scholar shook the thing in his hand.
'boom! ’ An explosion sounded again on the street outside, which made the scholar fully understand.
It turns out... this is the truth about the previous explosion outside. The explosion was not an external bombing, but a mine or something buried underground.
The light-emitting device installed on the three-legged column armor has the function of detonating landmines, so the explosion just now was indeed caused by them.
And it seems to be very simple to detonate. You just need to shake it a little and you don't even need to press anything to detonate it.
I just don’t know which mine will be detonated specifically. Maybe it’s because there are no mines in the restaurant, so the three-legged pillar did not explode here.
But why they didn't attack just now is also very strange.
All in all... the scholar saved and sent back the detection data of the three-legged pillar, and now that there was no danger outside, he decided to go to the hemispherical building with Dust Crocodile to have a look.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the Dust Crocodile was still barking. In fact, it started barking just now, when the scholar detonated the mine outside.
Boom means explosion, but scholars don't know why the Dust Crocodile barks so many times here.
The scholar opened the map in front of Dust Crocodile and clicked on the location of the building. Dust Crocodile calmed down and climbed to the door of the restaurant. He glanced at the scholar and said,
It seems that it plans to take the scholar there.
The scholar followed quickly. It followed the Dust Crocodile out of the restaurant and ran quickly on the street.
Although the Dust Crocodile now has a lower body, it does not stand up, but runs on its stomach, because its lower body can be said to be glued on and does not move at all, so it is dragged along.
Even so, Dust Crocodile was still very fast, and there was no explosion this time. The scholar and Dust Crocodile crossed the street and quickly arrived in front of the hemispherical building.
The door of the building was open, and it was dark inside. Following closely behind the Dust Crocodile, the scholar stepped into the building.
"ah!"
The moment he entered the building, the scholar saw a... mummy-like monster rushing towards it. The scholar did not retreat, but subconsciously punched the monster away.
"What the hell is this?"
The scholar turned on the light in his hand and illuminated the monster. This one really looked like a mummy. The whole body was wrinkled as if it had been lying in the desert for a long time. It had six limbs like the Xumin, but it was smaller. The legs are only about 1.6 meters spread out, and there are many... fingers on each limb.
At the same time, it also has a head, a body, and a tail-like structure, which is... quite disgusting to scholars.
And there was more than one. The building was full of such things, all lying motionless. The one just attacked the scholar. (To be continued.)
