Chapter 1319 Past
'Buzzing...'
Accompanied by bursts of noise, a huge machine was moving.
Its body shape is like a...snake, which allows it to move quickly in underground passages.
And it was also an excavator assembled by scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles in an assembly plant not long ago.
Although they had discovered the elite's escape route before, they did not pursue it. Instead, they decided to quickly complete the excavator and then dig the passage.
Because... it is not easy to chase the elite. Its location is in a place called a 'sewer' near the factory. The environment there is very complex, and there are many three-legged pillars protecting it.
Therefore, the scholars and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile decided to ignore it for the time being. Opening the passage was the most important thing. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile also believed that... it must reach the 'Condensation Bloom' before the Three-Legged Pillar and the traitor elite. It depends on where the switch is.
Now they have reached the blocked passage.
The huge snake-like mechanical digging method is very simple. It first opens its mouth, extends its tongue with a grasping function from the mouth, and then pulls a stone out of the rubble and puts it in its mouth. It shattered into pieces with a "bang" bite, and then the pieces were swallowed and expelled from the back.
"...feeling a little..."
There was no cockpit, so the scholar and the mechanical dust crocodile stood next to this big snake that was more than 20 meters long and watched the excavation process. This process was very much like... the snake was eating stones one by one.
It looks strange, and the mining efficiency seems... less than ideal.
The Mechanical Dust Crocodile didn't look anything special. It seemed that its digging method was very normal, so the scholar didn't say anything.
They are waiting here... The excavator eats the stones piece by piece and breaks them into pieces. This process takes a long time, so the scholar did a little inspection of the elite room during this period.
The cans in the elite room are what the scholar pays more attention to, and he discovered that a few of them are indeed... the meat of three-legged pillars.
However, the meat in most cans is not the meat of the three-legged pillar, but the meat of another creature that has nothing to do with the three-legged pillar. There are even... seasonings in it.
What exactly are these fleshy creatures? Are they also creatures that live here?
…Except for cans,
There are also balls and weapons that can play images, but no images are recorded in the balls, and the weapons cannot be used. They are either out of ammunition or damaged.
It seems there is nothing special about this room... What is it?
When the scholar was about to leave, he suddenly heard a very small "click..." sound. The scholar turned his head and saw something strange on a weapon on the ground.
The weapon's casing... cracked.
The scholar walked over doubtfully and picked up the weapon...
And the moment he picked up the weapon, the entire weapon... fell apart.
It turned into a large number of fragments in the scholar's hands and scattered on the ground, and among this pile of fragments... the scholar saw a small spherical object.
This spherical object is only a few centimeters in size, but scholars have found that its style is exactly the same as those spheres that play images, which means that it should be a small... playback device.
But why was it in the weapon, and why did the weapon break?
The scholar had checked this weapon before, but it was fine at that time, but now it suddenly broke...
Maybe it's just a coincidence? The scholar tested it and found that the weapon was indeed very fragile. The inside of the metal shell seemed to have been... eaten away, with many small holes inside.
It is these holes that make the weapon itself very fragile. The scholar broke it after touching it twice...
Anyway, let's check the ball first.
The scholar climbed out of the elite room with the ball and went outside to find the Mechanical Dust Crocodile who was monitoring the excavation process. The Mechanical Dust Crocodile said that the sphere was indeed a small... video playback device, and that some videos were recorded inside.
So, the scholar and the Mechanical Dust Crocodile took advantage of the digging time to look at this... image.
This can be regarded as a... diary-type image, which records some things about that elite.
However, this is different from the diaries of other elites that scholars have seen before. The images of other elites usually record their exploration process in this city.
The only picture shown in this image is the scene in his room. In the picture, this... traitor elite is huddled in the corner and keeps saying some words.
These words... are about the three-legged pillar.
………………
Just like... what Jingli said before, the Three-Legged Pillar met Jingli at some point, and then used canned meat as... reward, and kept Jingli working for them.
Jingrui recorded all these work contents in his diary... and described the entire process in detail.
The first task is to make it do a very weird thing... tear off several pieces of advertising paper in one building, and then take it to another building to paste it up.
This mission... was weird, but Elite did it for the sake of the can. After completing it, it did receive the three-legged can.
Then from here on, it keeps doing tasks... The three-legged pillar will give it some cans for each task. The number is related to the difficulty, but in fact there is no difficulty. It is just the weight of the things being carried.
It has moved everything from weapons to vehicles, as well as some wreckage. It has always wanted to figure out why the three-legged pillar gave it these tasks, but it has never been able to investigate.
I can only keep repeating the work according to the orders of the three-legged pillar until... a certain time.
The three-legged pillar gave it a special task, which was... to kill other elites. At first, it was unwilling to do this kind of task, but if it didn't do the task, there would be no cans. In the end, driven by hunger, it completed the task. this task.
In fact, the elite it killed had not yet woken up. It was an elite scheduled to wake up soon, so it was quite easy to kill.
After completing the mission, Sanleguzhu not only gave the elite cans, but also told it some... things... about why they invaded them.
The reason for this group of invaders has always been a mystery. As far as scholars know, they suddenly appeared and started frantically attacking Dust Crocodiles and nearby creatures.
The Three-Legged Pillar mentioned here that the reason for their invasion was to end the... role of the Dust Crocodile and the creatures here.
They all know the development of Dust Crocodile and the history of Dust Crocodile, but Dust Crocodile is no longer useful, so Dust Crocodile must be discarded like... garbage.
However, this place still needs to be preserved, so they did not choose weapons of mass destruction. Instead, they killed the Dust Crocodiles one by one with single targets or small-scale weapons in order to preserve the appearance of this place to the greatest extent.
The three-legged pillar told the elite.
Jingli was extremely puzzled by these words at the time. It didn't know what the three-legged pillar meant. It wanted to ask the three-legged pillar more, but the three-legged pillar did not continue to explain and gave it the next task.
The next task is to transport some historical materials from a place similar to a 'library' and move them to another place.
During the process of this task, Jingli remembered what Three-legged Pillar had said before, so it paid attention to the history of Dust Crocodile.
In fact, it has not learned much before and does not know much about the history of its own species.
Now...it understands.
The history of the Dust Crocodile is... quite interesting.
Scholars thought so when they saw the description in the diary.
Unlike other creatures that live on ordinary tumblers, dust crocodiles lived in this huge engineering pipeline when they had the idea of recording history.
Their sky has never had stars or sunlight, regardless of day or night, but has stable temperature and air. The original dust crocodiles lived in huge, grotesque building ruins. They shuttled among these ruins, capturing Small creatures also travel here.
Many life forms similar to plants and fungi emit light in this place that should have been extremely dark, illuminating the path in front of Dust Crocodile.
This life lasted for a long time. At that time, dust crocodiles used various methods to convey the history and knowledge of their own species. The more common one was...oral transmission.
That era can be said to be the 'primitive era'. Like many individual creatures, the Dust Crocodile showed faith or fear in unknown things.
But they also grew slowly. During this period, there were wars and various things, and finally they grew stronger and stronger...
They initially relied on bioluminescence in the wild to make their own light sources, from hunting everywhere to raising food, but most importantly...
They start exploring their surroundings.
During their exploration, they also encountered many other species, some of which were warlike, while others were able to communicate peacefully.
Parts of these species also grew up alongside the Dust Crocodile, and became its... neighbors.
Some species continue to use force to plunder other organisms during the development process, and are finally defeated by the organisms.
Finally, a group of relatively powerful species lived in this world, and formed multiple countries, which have developed until now. From the perspective of the entire history, the time taken by this whole process is somewhat similar to the situation in the Mirror World, that is, there are many Civilized creatures developed together, but there were no abnormalities during this period, such as the emergence of a Beginning Realm organization.
There were quite a lot of wars at first, but then the balance gradually stabilized, leaving several powerful races including Dust Crocodile. They each established their own countries and did not invade each other, maintaining a long period of peace.
It seems that there is no connection between this period of history... and the three-legged column invaders.
However, when Elite received the next assassination mission, the three-legged pillar told it more things... (To be continued.) Activate a new website
