Chapter 2558: Can't Get Away

The feeling of being on the verge of success... but being blocked again, is very uncomfortable for many creatures.

The same is true for the Pioneers, but having already waited so long, they don't really care about waiting a little longer.

They care more about...

How to get Lin and Fenghuang out of here.

Unfortunately, there is no way at the moment. Because of Lin's investigation into the little red tumbler, the Pioneer has been forced to lift a restriction and destroy the investigation team's aircraft.

Therefore, this also prolongs the time of their assimilation.

The main thing is that if this kind of lifting of restrictions is carried out multiple times in a short period of time, the extension time will increase a lot.

Generally they will not release it twice in a row. The price to pay seems to be quite huge, so they would rather say these things than release it twice.

The little red tumbler is also a very interesting thing. The main reason why it has not been eliminated by the Pioneers is because it is actually a creature.

It is a species that is good at...sleeping, and its living habits are somewhat similar to those of the 'End Memory Line'.

It will also keep a permanent record of everything it sees.

The main reason why it cannot be eliminated is... it is not foreign. This little red tumbler belongs to this channel and can be said to be a local creature.

It is said that when the earliest pioneers came here, they saw some local creatures. It is still unclear whether they were actually born here, but they definitely arrived earlier than the pioneers.

Most of the native species have long since died out, leaving only this little tumbler-like creature.

They have been almost inactive for a long time, and any object that falls on its surface will slowly... sink into its 'surface' and become a part of it.

The reason they cannot be completely eliminated may be that they have stayed in this place for too long.

The consciousness of this little red tumbler has more or less merged with this space...

When it is thinking, its thoughts will be felt by the pioneers around it.

Generally speaking, the Pioneers can know the wishes of creatures infected by the light of their thoughts, but for this little tumbler, the Pioneers can not only sense wishes, but can sense everything.

It was as if their thoughts were one and the Pioneer could directly feel what it was thinking.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the wish of this little tumbler has "priority".

This situation is very rare. Generally, when the wishes of two creatures conflict, for example, when both creatures hope that... the other party dies and they live, the Herald can execute the wish of one of them or both of them at the same time.

For most organisms, there is no priority distinction.

But when the thoughts of this little red tumbler conflict with those of other creatures... the Pioneers must give priority to realizing its ideas.

So when other creatures want to destroy it, but it wants to survive, the pioneer must give priority to helping it survive.

Although this creature does not move much, it has a rich mind. It pays attention to any surrounding environment and pays special attention to threatening creatures.

When it feels threatened, it will... desperately try to stay alive.

Then the pioneer had to help it.

There were some similar little tumblers originally, but most of them were eliminated by the pioneers using various methods, leaving only this one.

It seems to have learned this... to use the pioneers to protect it.

It noticed that the Pioneers were driven by its imagination, and because of 'priority', the Pioneers had no way to... deal with it.

But this is not a highly intelligent creature, and its use of pioneers is limited to protecting itself.

And some species in the past came across this wonderful little tumbler, and they thought that this species could help store those records.

Because it melts everything that touches its surface... without damaging it.

So those creatures stuffed a lot of recording devices into the little tumbler, which were later discovered by the investigation team.

When the investigation team discovered this little tumbler, the pioneers were actually looking forward to one thing...

That is, the little tumbler regards the investigation team as a threat, so the pioneer can "legitimately" deal with the investigation team.

But it didn't do so. Instead, it didn't take the investigation team seriously and even ignored the investigation team's digging into it.

The Pioneer didn't know why it was so abnormal, and the little tumbler didn't think about anything at that time.

So the pioneers had to trap the investigation team.

The reason for trapping them instead of killing them outright is mainly because killing them will cause the sync to drop even more.

Because killing them will inevitably lead to strong mental resistance from the members of the investigation team, because the investigation team has always been afraid.

They were afraid of how the Pioneers would kill them, and this fear continued in their emotions.

Even if the Pioneers kill them instantly without giving them a chance to react, they will still be afraid of being killed by the Pioneers for a long time, so... this will still affect the Pioneers' synchronization.

In the end the Pioneers could only trap them.

Why the Pioneers didn't want the investigation team to leave is another matter.

Because during the period when the investigation team was trapped by the Pioneers, the Pioneers discovered that the little tumbler did not swallow the investigation team's aircraft.

That means one thing, and that is that this little tumbler is ready to breed.

This is a very... rare thing. Their reproduction is completely irregular and usually takes more than tens of millions of years.

When they reproduce, they will launch a part of their body, which will fly very far... After flying for a certain period of time or hitting something, it will explode.

After the explosion, something like a gravitational vortex will be generated at the original explosion site, attracting all the surrounding objects and forming the cubs of small tumblers.

This little tumbler treated the survey team's aircraft as its... breeding bomb and was about to launch it.

It is not known why this happened, but the important thing is that although the investigation team did not know, the little tumblers had installed "breeding bombs" inside their aircraft, or more precisely, some explosive dust powder.

This is a very special kind of dust powder, which contains a large amount of...the memories of the little tumbler.

Not only that, it can also mix in the memory information of many creatures around it, of course including the members of the investigation team.

This may be because the little tumbler's consciousness is also somewhat mixed with the channel.

When the bomb is fired and explodes, the resulting offspring carries all the information captured by the blast dust.

Although the little tumbler itself is not very intelligent and will not use this information to do anything, this information will spread over a large area with the explosion.

In this way, if any creature enters the channel in the future, they may be able to sense the spread of information and learn about the pioneers from inside.

The Pioneers would certainly not allow this to happen, so they tried their best to prevent the survey team's aircraft from escaping.
