Suddenly, gloomy but calm mental fluctuations came from the eight-legged fungus headed by it: "This is the residence of the Great Khan, a metal can in another world, just continue to maintain silent humility, the generous Great Khan said Maybe we will leave you a way to survive instead of throwing you into the 'Fusion Energy Network' to be used as a biological battery."
It seemed to have known for a long time that everyone in the exploration team was awake. This weird alien creature even stretched out its forelimbs and pointed at the location of the magic armor's camera, seeming to say that it had discovered everyone's Eye'.
After completing these actions, it took the other eight-legged fungi and left decisively and without hesitation, leaving the five people still tied to the crystal pillars where they were, in front of the giant hexagonal prism 'palace'.
The Court of the Star Shepherds.
This is what the eight-legged fungus calls this palace.
Priest and his teammates raised their heads and looked at this giant building that exceeded ordinary human imagination.
The appearance of the royal court is a pure white regular hexagonal prism, about 1,200 meters high, and each side is also 1,200 meters long. It is bathed in the light golden magic light, and its white shell seems to be covered with a layer of magic. With layers of golden gauze, you can see that there are layers of grooves on the pure white shell, in which translucent magic veins are flowing, just like the blood vessels of living things.
The huge white hexagonal prism is pulsing, like the heart of the entire beehive. This "building" that is larger than the mountains, regular and orderly, stands in front of Priest and others, carrying unparalleled majesty. Boundless pressure came over, as if all air and material activities around them were blocked, making it difficult for everyone in the exploration team to breathe, think, and move even a little finger.
What is the concept of a building more than one thousand meters high
How does it feel when humans stand in front of a building more than a thousand meters high
It felt as if everything around me was rapidly enlarging, enlarging, and enlarging again, while I was rapidly shrinking, shrinking, until I was like an ant. The feeling of vulnerability called insignificance came from the deepest part of my heart, because there was something in front of me. It's a 'huge' that seems ready to topple over at any moment, crushing everything and even the world.
Priest heard his own heavy breathing, and he heard the restless heartbeats of his teammates. The eight-legged fungi threw them here without any other follow-up action. They just let them stay in front of the royal court and watch. all of these.
White walls show no boundaries.
The top of the hive shimmered with a golden light.
The solid biological ground is trembling—as if there is a huge heart beneath it.
How insignificant human beings are…
Priest felt that all his spirit, all his sight, all his will would be destroyed, occupied, and eventually lost by this huge, weird 'building' - if he were not Joshua's disciple, all of this would All are extremely possible.
"call-"
Taking a deep breath, Priest quickly recovered from the inexplicable mental shock. His pupils dilated and then focused. He looked at the huge white building in front of him with fear, and whispered: "This building It can corrode the human spirit! And..."
Moreover, it seems to be an unconscious behavior!
Priest couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he followed Joshua to the multi-dimensional sealing circle that imprisoned the black mist some time ago. There, he saw a building structure that was even larger than the giant central honeycomb. And he had personally witnessed the pressure of the warrior's neutron star combat body - if it hadn't been for these preparations in advance, he might have really lost himself in front of this weird hexagonal prism.
At the same time, after hearing Priest's prompt, and because they also often met and communicated with a certain legendary powerhouse, and also witnessed the legendary battle that took place in World No. 1, everyone in the exploration team also Wake up from the pressure that appears out of nowhere.
"This is a 'spiritual' attack!" The caster looked serious.
"Seven gods are above..." the cleric said subconsciously.
"Dizziness, my God, something was eroding my brain just now... Take one first." The alchemist activated the magic armor and injected himself with a sobriety potion that he had prepared long ago.
"What happened?" The knight looked confused.
"… Huh."
After noticing that all five members of the exploration team were freed from mental erosion, a sound of confusion came from the grand and majestic will.
Then, with a surge of undetectable magic power, an eight-legged fungus with a pure white shell appeared in front of everyone.
Since Priest and others are not eight-legged fungi, they cannot tell whether this fungus is different from other fungi, whether it is majestic or luxurious. However, in any case, the way this eight-legged fungus appears is different from ordinary people. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on this strange eight-legged fungus.
"Otherworldly beings that can resist 'spiritual influence'... are interesting."
There is no interesting emotion or even any fluctuation of spirit. It comes overwhelmingly from this eight-legged fungus and is forcefully poured into everyone's brain. It uses a strange, strange and slow rhythmic tone. Said: "You have a solid body, a tough will, and technology that is sufficient for time and space teleportation... You are not ordinary 'food', and you are qualified to talk to the 'Shepherd'."
Priest did not understand what the other party was saying, because although it was spiritual communication and could ignore language for information transmission, the other party's arrogant attitude did not try to make them understand at all, as if they were throwing a compressed data package. , it takes Priest and others a long period of decoding to know what it says.
The young warrior did not decode it immediately. He stared at the white eight-legged fungus and recalled the metal altar where they were when the teleportation error occurred at the beginning, and the group of eight-legged fungi that first appeared in front of him. Foot fungus.
And in the center of the group of eight-legged fungi, there seemed to be a distinctive, white eight-legged fungus.
Great Khan.
Is it the Great Khan
The supreme leader of this alien civilization
wrong. Priest noticed something was wrong - he was Joshua's disciple, and he often visited the Lord's Mansion some time ago. He had met Yingying, Rin and No. 3 several times, so he was very familiar with it. The white eight-legged fungus in front of him was not It's an entity, just a magic projection!
From the start, it was a magical projection! A simple avatar used to talk to visitors from other worlds like them.
At this time, the white eight-legged fungus was still asking questions in that strange and slow tone.
"How did you find the Shepherds?"
"How do you bypass the outer layers of space-time anchors and directly enter the 'Wangting Flagship'?"
"Where are you from? The Shepherds have traveled all over the world and have never seen such strange beings as you."
The white eight-legged fungus asked Priest and others in the mental space in a calm and indifferent tone. Although it seemed indifferent, everyone sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
-If you don't answer... there is no doubt that they will be completely wiped out!
Together with the body and soul, they were completely wiped out! Even the Soul Abyss Ball and the Repairing Light Pillar cannot save him, he is completely dead!
But what greeted the white eight-legged fungus was silence.
No one spoke.
Priest closed his eyes.
Rule 13 of the External Exploration Team: If captured by an alien civilization, no information about Mycroft's world shall be revealed.
When necessary, commit suicide.
Simple but normal rules, Priest felt that he and others might not be able to set an example right away—according to the eight-legged fungi’s superb achievements in spirituality and magic, he didn’t think there was any possibility of lying in front of these guys. At that time, it will definitely be thrown into some kind of energy network and used as a biological battery.
However, it was not the time to commit suicide. After all, the question asked by the 'Great Khan' in front of him had nothing to do with Mycroft's world. If it didn't work, he would run away through the return beacon.
The first question, the answer to the transmission failed, I don’t know, the second question is the same, and the third question, what’s the point of telling it from Mycroft’s world? Anyway, people like them don't know the space-time coordinates of Mycroft's world at all. It's just a name. It's no big deal.
Thinking of this, Priest and several teammates looked at each other.
The white eight-legged fungus listened silently to the five people who delivered roughly the same mental information. It did not make any movements or show any dissatisfaction. After it was sure that everyone was not lying, it continued to ask a few other questions. question. For example, where was their original transmission location, what was their purpose, and what level of civilization they had reached.
Priest's brain was running rapidly. He basically answered all the questions he could answer. If he couldn't answer, he directly deleted that memory by himself - most of the others did the same. This was not difficult for the specially trained members of the exploration team. .
The strange thing is that the white eight-legged fungus does not seem to be as cruel as it appeared at the beginning. It does not directly kill Priest and others because they do not answer questions or even delete their memories. Instead, it often stays silent thoughtfully. for a long time.
During the long question-and-answer process, Priest and others also discovered a strange problem.
The white eight-legged fungus in front of me seems to be the 'Great Khan'. In fact, it is not that it uses a special slow tone, but that its thinking speed is indeed very slow.
Sometimes, it will even get distracted and ask several same questions repeatedly - this is naturally not a questioning technique, but it seems that it has really forgotten that it has asked this question before.
Although it has immense spiritual power and incredible pressure, this white eight-legged fungus is a bit like a temporary, rough and crude temporary carrier, just a simple incarnation of inquiry, and the Great Khan's body, But dealing with other things.
And this weird questioning and answering was soon over.
The incarnation of the white eight-legged fungus suddenly dissipated - and in the next moment, a huge will that was ten times or a hundred times more powerful than before came down.
In an instant, the sealing circle that originally blocked the five members of the exploration team disintegrated. Before the five people could experience the feeling of regaining their freedom, this substantial will carried everyone's bodies, directly Submerged into the white hexagonal prism.
Hum, there is no feeling of contact with the entity.
With a simple whisper of magic power, Priest felt as if he had entered a layer of liquid magic power like water - and this was the truth about the 'Pastoral Court', a place completely made of semi-entities. A building of extraordinary power made of magic!
The overly bright golden light gradually subsided, and Priest and the others passed through the magic barrier. He felt that the huge materialized spirit was silently surging beside him, just like the most magnificent undercurrent in the depths of the ocean - and when When everything gradually calmed down, he and others were already in the center of the white prism.
In a dark void.
No, it's not nothingness... it's emptiness.
The interior of the white prism, like a 360-degree observation lens, reflects the void scenery of the surrounding world!
Priest could see that in the chaotic flow of time and space, there were extremely faint starlights flickering, which were the glory of the world, and these starlights were thin and weak. It was obvious that the failed transmission of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site was not actually It didn't deviate too much, and it indeed sent them to the edge of the world's galaxy.
But now is not the time to care about needles.
The knight, mage, alchemist, cleric and Priest all took a breath.
Now, they finally understand, why their transmission went wrong, and why they suddenly appeared in the habitat of the eight-legged fungus.
It's all because of this scene in front of me.
In the vast, dark, and silent void, there are some errors in the structure of the space. It can be seen that the starlight is shifted, time and space are distorted, and the weird magical rainbow light replaces the light of the stars, making the entire void filled with abnormal but strange things. And conspicuous light golden light.
What emits these light golden lights are semicircular 'star worlds' one after another.
The stars are naturally not real stars, and the world is not a real world. The largest of these semicircular star worlds is only as big as a province in an ordinary continental empire, although for normal-sized creatures, this is already a large amount. It's incredible, but compared to the boundless void and the stars of the real world, they seem small.
But even so, this scene is spectacular enough - more than twenty semi-circular star worlds are suspended in the void. The huge mass is mixed with magic fluctuations, forming an extremely huge abnormal space-time area. They are slowly moving in the void. Moving forward in the void, just like a fleet.
What drives this fleet's actions are terrifying creatures one after another that are so huge that they exceed human imagination.
It was an extremely huge void beast with eight legs, just like the lower body of an eight-legged fungus. It was so huge that it was difficult to describe it in words - only a void beast could describe this creature, even if it Actually not, but the moment it broke away from its mother world and could survive in the void with its body, it had already become a new behemoth of the void.
One after another, small, semicircular star worlds are like fungi, 'rooted' on the flat backs of these giant void lifeforms, like hermit crabs and their shells, in the ocean called the void. Slowly advancing, they disturb time and space, distort the trajectory of the real world, and move forward with a brilliant momentum.
Priest felt as if his sight could penetrate the shells of those star worlds. He could see that billions of eight-legged fungi lived in these worlds, living on the backs of those giant beasts!
The eight-legged fungi host their bodies in eight-legged arthropods, and they root their world on the same eight-legged giant void beast. Priest does not know, what exactly is the eight-legged fungus that has cultivated such a giant void beast? Huge giant void beasts, or rather they have been parasitic on the bodies of these giant beasts since their birth.
But all these questions are meaningless.
This is the 'Shepherd'.
This is the world fleet of the 'Shepherd'.
-This news must be reported to the Department of External Exploration... No, the Mycroft civilization must be informed!
In just a moment, Priest made up his mind to pass this information back!
"...life from another world."
The huge will that led the exploration team into the King's Court of the Shepherds is condensing. It is the true will of the Great Khan. It is taking back its spiritual tentacles that it did not know where to place before. It is condensing into a real will entity. Prepare to turn your attention to the five people who have been taken into your 'body', and really start to interrogate and search the souls of these little people.
But it was shocked to find that a series of blue space-time ripples were flashing rapidly.
It came from the legendary time and space mage, created by Nostradamus by connecting the sacrificial sites of all realms, and was the highest priority one-time teleportation circle.
The materialized spiritual tentacles suddenly stretched out, trying to interrupt this time and space transmission, but how could the time and space circle prepared by Nostradamus be interrupted so easily? It was a solid structure that could not be affected by the 150 million-degree high temperature of the black mist mother body and the distortion of time and space. In a hurry, even the power of the 'Great Khan' slowed down the speed of the time and space teleportation and could not really stop it.
After a moment, the shocked Great Khan could only look at the empty interior of the royal court, in a daze.
After a long time, a gray-black eight-legged fungus entered the palace.
"The Great Khan."
It respectfully faced the nothingness, which contained only a layer of lightly distorted nothingness, and said, "We have not found a path for these alien creatures to travel through time and space... Their teleportation magic is far superior to ours."
"… nothing."
A calm mental wave came from nowhere: "They... are not the beings of our galaxy."
"It's not your fault, I was wrong from the beginning. They are not speculators who followed our secret route... but the aborigines of this 'Lost Galaxy'. The teleportation props they use are also There are props made by myself at the same level as me, but I was careless and couldn't stop them."
"The Great Khan."
The gray-black eight-legged fungus slightly twisted its fungus column. It bent its splayed legs and made a weird 'bending' action. It used weird sound waves mixed with mental fluctuations and said extremely sincerely: "Although This goes against your teachings, but I must say that this 'Lost Galaxy' is really too dangerous!"
"Sealed for twelve thousand years, it only exists in the legendary Fallen Place, the absolutely taboo Jedi in the multiverse, the place where the 'World Eaters' and the 'Endless Abyss' fell... We have just entered, and we encountered such a strange thing. Life from other worlds, and creations that exist at the same level as you... This place is really too mysterious and full of unknowns. It’s still too late for us to turn back now!”
"Kumozinda...the First King of Sky Realm. I know why you are afraid."
The twisted spiritual void seems to be distracted, or is doing something. It can be seen that a total of twenty-seven giant void beasts and the starry world on its back are all flashing a little light, like the current flashing of nerve nodes. That way.
After waiting for a moment, it belatedly replied: "We all know that this 'Lost Galaxy' enclosed outside the normal multiverse definitely contains infinite dangers and unknowns. It took us three hundred years to finally From ancient ruins and legends to find the passage to this closed galaxy, we spent one hundred and fifty years preparing resources and crossing the 'matter vacuum layer' between galaxies before arriving at this place. .”
"There are endless mysteries in this lost galaxy... It was once the center of the multiverse, home to the most prosperous civilization and the most powerful experts, as well as countless ancient ruins and relics of prehistoric civilizations."
"Legend has it that there is even a secret here that can resist the 'World Eaters'."
The twisted spiritual void, the 'Great Khan' said: "And we have no retreat, we can only move forward."
"Returning to the original galaxy, what greets us is only fire and destruction."
