Chapter 164 Dialogue

Under the 3.0 burst skill, the Pluto mecha's strength and divinity were stimulated to the extreme, and the divine edge of the armor-piercing sword in its hand continued to sharpen, as thin as a cicada's wing, but extremely hard.

Then, the blade slashed forward! Swoosh!!! A terrifying sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the air was torn apart in both directions, splitting apart like a sea tide. The blade drew a circle at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and under Li Yi's precise control, it just hit the huge black ball as it rushed over.

In an instant, the black ball seemed to sense something was wrong. Its shadow-like skin suddenly shrank, then suddenly expanded, changing its direction slightly, as if it was preparing to avoid the sharp edge and continue the impact.

But the blade suddenly changed speed, first slow and then fast, and before the black ball bounced off completely, it suddenly cut it! It was the application of the fast and slow boxing technique! This cut was sharp and oblique, like peeling a melon.

Swoosh! The black ball flattened a part of itself as if its scalp had been cut open, and bounced to the ground.

The other part seemed to still be able to move. It fell to the ground and merged into the shadow on the ground, like a big fish swimming in the shadow, and suddenly merged into the surrounding black fog.

Seeing this, Mu Tianlei shouted: "That's right, just fight like this. As long as we keep cutting the black ball, the separated black shadows will escape his control and split into the black mist!"

"These black mists do not have any controlling consciousness, so they appear to be safe."

Lin Wendong asked: "What will happen if we intercept this black shadow?"

Mu Tianlei said: "It would be better if you can stop it. If you have the freezing property, you can try to see if you can freeze it."

As they were talking, several other divine mechas also joined in the encirclement and suppression of the black ball.

Due to the interception by a group of experts, the black ball was severely cut by Li Yi and its strength was greatly reduced.

After a few moves, it was hit by the freezing wave of the Ice Soul Mecha, and its elasticity suddenly dropped.

It seems that the total amount of divinity in this black ball is no longer enough to resist conventional divine skills.

After a while, the black ball was cut to more than 30 meters, and finally it stopped resisting and collapsed to the ground as if it had accepted its fate, ready to let you do whatever you want with it.

Everyone was very surprised.

Moreover, the black ball seemed to be vibrating the black shadow membrane slightly, making a strange sound, as if it was speaking the words of some alien civilization.

But this language is too obscure and difficult to understand, and it is not any common language known to everyone.

Therefore, everyone couldn't figure out what the black ball was saying.

At this time, Lin Wendong asked Li Yi on the public channel: "I heard from Liang Zhishen that you are a senior decryption expert. Can you decipher the language of this black ball?"

Li Yi shook his head: "There is no reference material, I can only try. But before that, I think we should go back to the outer area first, in case the mysterious thoughts send A-class mecha to attack us."

Exactly 11 minutes have passed since we set out. If we hurry back, we should be able to make it to the previously specified time.

Lin Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, we can postpone exploring this area later."

All the mechas immediately took off and returned quickly.

This special space within the illusion may still contain many secrets, but now we can only wait and explore it later.

Halfway through, Lin Wendong said, "Old Mu, tell me what happened after you entered the passage."

Mu Tianlei said:

"After I controlled the Speed ​​Thunder Mech to enter the previous passage and fired a divine light bomb, I was actually hit by three divine light bombs in a row. The load was quite stressful. In the end, I found the so-called location of the divine light bomb launcher and destroyed it with one shot."

"Although the divine light bomb is of great value, the situation was urgent at the time and there was nothing we could do."

"Later, I couldn't contact you, so I went to explore the passage and encountered the black ball. When I first encountered it, it was a little taller than me, and it attacked me fiercely as soon as we met."

“Although this thing is not slow and the load force after contact is high enough, in my opinion, it is not tricky, just a little troublesome.”

"We then fought all the way to the depths of the tunnel and chased for several kilometers. We discovered that all the black shadows that were cut off would automatically return to the illusionary space just now. So we followed them in and wanted to confirm whether that thing was related to the mysterious idea."

"Then, it's the state you see now."

Everyone was very curious about the situation in the illusion space, and they all vaguely felt that there was probably some important secret hidden in the illusion space.

But time is limited and I can't explore in detail.

Lin Wendong nodded and said, "It seems that you have been safe along the way."

Mu Tianlei sighed and said, "Although it was a close call, the quality of the divine light bullet was quite high, and it is a pity that I destroyed it."

Hearing this, Zhou Fuli smiled and said:

"Commander Mu, don't worry. Even if you save it, it will be useless because Captain Lin will use his planet-destroying cannon to overturn the dome of the top layer of the ruins in one breath. With the huge aftermath, I believe that even the divine light bomb launcher will not be intact."

Among the crowd, only Zhou Fuli had the confidence to speak to the two Heavenly Rank Powerful Men in this way.

As for the others, of course, they are still a long way behind.

Mu Tianlei smacked his lips when he heard this and said, “Is it because of the channel that blocks the signal? What a big deal!”

Lin Wendong shook his head and said:

"Who knows what happened to you in there? He had mysterious thoughts interjecting into our public channel conversation, imitating your tone and luring us in."

"If he really entered without any precautions, I'm afraid that mysterious idea might have some tricks up its sleeve."

At this time Li Yi said:

"My two sirs, I think that mysterious thought at that time was deliberately leaving a flaw for us to see."

"Think about it carefully. The divine mecha group underground has clearly not yet been successfully activated. Even if Captain Lin overturns the dome and destroys some potential threats, the strongest combat force still cannot be launched."

"In this state, maybe he deliberately exposed himself to us, so that we would notice the abnormality of the information shielding channel. Out of fear, we dare not rush to rescue Chief Mu, thus successfully delaying time."

"However, he didn't expect that Commander Lin would be so decisive. He directly launched a massive bombing, making his plan ineffective."

After hearing what Li Yi said, everyone felt that it made sense.

Zhou Fuli said:

"Indeed, what Li Yi said is right. I also heard some disharmony at the time, but at first I thought it was a problem of signal blocking in the ruins."

“Once you think about the fact that even a master of Chief Mu’s level was dealt with, you will definitely feel a little entangled, or even scared off.”

"It's just that the mysterious thoughts underestimated the importance of Chief Mu to us. We are more worried than we are afraid of him."

Mu Tianlei nodded slightly: "It's good to overturn it. Facing such a mysterious and unknown existence, instead of repeatedly guessing, it's better to believe that great force can create miracles."

…

Soon, everyone rushed back to the outer area in just the 20th minute.

Fortunately, the mysterious idea has not sent troops to kill us.

At this time, the team had completed the transportation of the spoils and sent Tan Haode to break through the spire.

Fortunately, the starship has already moved here, otherwise it would take much more time just for transportation.

After returning to the area, Li Yi began the decryption work.

now.

The Pluto mecha walked forward and began to carefully observe the characteristic frequency of the black ball's vibration. It simply imitated some of the repetitive short sentences and responded to the black ball with the Pluto mecha's sound device.

In response to the sound, the black ball seemed to become excited, constantly agitating the black shadow membrane and speaking more sentences of different frequencies.

Li Yi controlled the Pluto mecha and began to gesture, using both his hands and feet. When he could not describe something specific, he used the divinity out-of-body control technique he had learned in the Puppet Tower to stimulate the divinity out of the Pluto mecha.

Then, activate the colors of various characteristics to interpret the outline of the object's shape or the essence of its movement.

Since Li Yi possesses enough characteristics, including dark blue, purple, fiery red, bluish-white, and all the major categories of basic colors.

In addition to the basic skills of divine out-of-body control that he had already mastered, as well as the painting skills he already possessed.

This time, I was able to quickly understand some basic vocabulary from Black Ball by using this method of explaining through pictures.

Those who were watching the Pluto mecha's fancy divine out-of-body skills were also amazed.

Xu Weilu was also a challenger in the Puppet Spire, so she was naturally even more surprised.

Because she had clearly absorbed several steel seal fragments and digested a lot of insights, but in terms of specific control performance, she was actually not as good as Li Yi who relied purely on his own understanding.

…

In the blink of an eye, two or three hours passed.

The mysterious thought did not send any more A-class mechas over.

I don’t know if he already knew that they had reunited, so he didn’t dare to come over.

Or it was not arranged at the beginning.

Everyone judged that it was most likely the former.

On Li Yi's side, the collection of basic vocabulary has also been completed.

On this basis, after trying a few more times, you will basically understand the different meanings represented by different word orders.

This is a language system with confusing logic but clear pictographic expression.

The so-called logical confusion is the lack of temporality and causality.

For example, there is a lack of concepts such as before, after, cause, result, yesterday, and today.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When translating it, Li Yi once suspected that this black ball was essentially a four-dimensional creature.

Of course, although such concepts are lacking, basic conversations can be achieved.

Soon, Li Yi asked what he wanted to know and called everyone over.

Zhou Fuli was a little surprised: "We can talk so quickly? From nothing to something in just two or three hours?"

Liang Zhishen smiled and said, "Li Yi was able to decipher the language of the Ant-Fly Man before, and it took him a few hours to basically communicate. This is nothing, it's just basic operation."

Li Yi introduced:

"I got a rough idea of ​​the situation from this black ball."

"In short, it should have nothing to do with mysterious thoughts."

"Based on its description, I judge that it is either a guardian creature arranged by the ruins themselves, or a new species that was gradually bred and evolved due to certain special conditions after the disappearance of the main body of the divine civilization."

"This thing is neither alive nor dead. It is closely connected to the black fog in the illusion space."

"It is said that it has been absorbing nutrients from the black fog in the illusion space. The more it absorbs, the bigger its body becomes, the clearer its mind becomes, and the more it understands many principles."

"We reduced it to a size of thirty meters, and it said it had forgotten a lot of things. This shows that these shadows also contain a lot of memories."

"I even suspect that the black mist is actually the knowledge and insights possessed by the various inheritance spires."

"It's just that this place was invaded by a mysterious thought, which took over the nest, transferred and extracted things, and formed such a special illusion space."

"Of course, this is just a guess based on the vague expression of the black area. It may not be accurate and is only for reference."

Mu Tianlei said thoughtfully:

"Then why did this thing take the initiative to attack me? Is it because it is a guardian creature of the ruins and wants to protect the ruins?"

Li Yi said: "That may be the case. According to the black ball, it sensed the strong hostile aura from the Speed ​​Thunder Mech, which aroused its instincts, so it rushed over regardless of the consequences. Otherwise, it would definitely find a corner to hide and sleep quietly."

"Hostile aura?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that this word was crucial.

Liang Zhishen pondered: "Could it be that this black ball itself is a creature from the enemy camp of the ancient divine civilization? Or is it that this thing is just sensitive to killing intent?"

Li Yi said: "I think it is the former. I asked carefully. It sensed the hostile aura from all our divine mechas, so it wanted to beat us up uncontrollably."

"It was not until it was weakened to thirty meters that it was able to break away from that special state and regain its autonomy."

"Therefore, there is another possibility, that is, the black fog is the enemy of the divine civilization, and the black ball just happens to be able to absorb the black fog."

Lin Wendong pondered:

"It seems that there are great mysteries to be discovered inside this heritage site."

“This black ball alone is a living repository of historical knowledge.”

"Li Yi, what else did you ask? For example, what is the origin of that mysterious thought? Is it a divine civilized person who has lived from ancient times to the present, or another species? Or even the intelligent AI of the ruins themselves?"

Li Yi pondered and said, "I have also tried to ask Black Ball about that mysterious thought."

"It told me that the mysterious idea came later than it did. It has no idea of ​​the exact time, but it is said that at the beginning, the outside world of this planet was full of light."

"Until the planet lost its light and became dark, it felt a huge, deep, and almost infinite terrifying thought descending into the ruins."

"The point where the thought lands is the tallest spire in the center."

"It hid itself, and was very afraid of the idea. It had an instinctive fear."

"Therefore, it usually hides in the illusion space. It didn't dare to come out until this thought left not long ago, and then it ran into Chief Mu."

After listening to Li Yi's description, everyone felt vaguely heavy.

The inherent strength of this black ball is not weak. It can at least fight with an A-level strongman for more than ten minutes.

Even someone with this much strength was frightened by a thought and dared not move.

It can be seen how terrifying the true nature of this mysterious thought is.

Mu Tianlei asked: "Li Yi, is there anything else?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No more. This is basically the only information that the black ball can provide. For the rest, perhaps we can only find out by helping him find the black shadows that were cut out."

Lin Wenshu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's take turns to rest and be on guard while we wait for Xiaozhuang to bring the Dream Realm Virtual Mother Machine over."

"Since the northern ruins are extremely dangerous, we should not rush to attack the fortress. Let's just waste time fighting that mysterious idea."

"We have taken down all his new recruits. In the future, I believe time will be our friend."

Since Lin Wendong made this decision, no one had any objections.

At this moment, the team was divided into three groups, taking turns to be on guard and waiting for Tan Haode to break into the tower.

Li Yi simply continued reading the information provided by Xiaozhuang in the cockpit.

Enter the Dream Plain once every 20 minutes and try your best to acquire knowledge related to virtual reality.

…

About 15 minutes later, Tan Haode popped out from a spire and rolled to the ground in good condition.

It seems that he is doing well in this tower test.

Everyone gathered there and heard Tan Haode report, "The knowledge passed down in this spire is mainly about the transformation of divine energy, which is quite profound."

"Fortunately, the previous levels are relatively simple and not that difficult."

"Also, I found that the first three levels of the spire here have no thought stamps!"

"The Thought Stamp only appears at the fourth level, but its strength is slightly weaker than the previous northern ruins."

"I even suspect that even if there are mysterious thoughts hidden in it, its strength is limited."

In this regard, everyone remained cautious and asked many questions to confirm whether Tan Haode had been secretly eroded by mysterious thoughts.

The result is gratifying, Tan Haode is in good condition.

Mu Tianlei also said: "No problem. If it is really eroded, the soul will definitely change. Although we, the celestial beings, have not yet touched the mystery of the soul, we can feel it more or less."

Since the Heavenly Rank powerhouse said so, then there is basically no problem.

Everyone immediately felt relieved and began to try to let more people enter the tower.
