The probe was thrown into the crack.
Then there was no response again.
After the signal connection with the probe was interrupted for ten seconds, the data terminal finally couldn't help but speak: "Partner, the situation is wrong—the signal has completely disappeared, and all backup connections are invalid!"
"Did the signal disappear or the probe itself disappeared..." Hao Ren frowned deeply, looking at the dark and deep crack, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, "Could it be that something below destroyed it?" Got a probe?"
The data terminal seemed to have forgotten the quarrel with Hao Ren just now, and floated to the side of the latter's head to observe the movement in the big crack: "This is not normal, although the probe is an inconspicuous gadget, but no matter what Made by the Empire, its signal transmission module is very powerful, almost no mortal civilization has the ability to interfere with its operation, and if it is destroyed... the core of the probe should also have a chance to send back the last-minute attack information!"
"But the fact is that it just disappeared without a sound, just like the stone thrown by Leah during the day." Vivienne also frowned, "Hao Ren, do you still have the probe?"
"Ah, there are so many in the space," Hao Ren said while taking out a new probe, "Try throwing another one?"
"Let the probe fly in slowly this time," Vivienne nodded and said, "Track the terminal and see where it flew and lost contact."
Hao Ren released a probe again, and this diamond-shaped machine, smaller than a little finger, slowly flew towards the crack under the precise control of the data terminal. When it was about to enter the darkness, its speed even dropped to only to the extent of a few millimeters.
Both Hao Ren and Vivian stared nervously at the probe gradually lowering its height, while the data terminal transferred the images observed by the probe to its own holographic projection. There is no trick at all outside the darkness and chaos.
The probe touched the dark "horizon" in the crack, and disappeared without a sound as if submerged in a layer of thick ink. Because of the extremely slow speed, it took a few seconds for this little thing to completely pass through the "horizon". At the same time as the last silvery white on the surface disappeared into the darkness, the data terminal also said, "The signal is lost."
"It disappeared after completely crossing the dividing line." Hao Ren immediately turned to the terminal. "Before it disappeared, part of it entered the 'opposite'. Did you get any pictures?"
At this time, the data terminal is checking the last image data sent back before the probe disappears frame by frame: "It looks like there is only darkness..."
Hao Ren's eyes widened and he stared at the screen. The data terminal had already drawn to the last few frames, but there was still only a piece of darkness on it, and a chaotic vortex indistinct in shape and meaning.
But the data terminal stopped on the last picture, and it seemed to find something: "Partner, there seems to be something on it!"
The content of the last frame of image seems to be no different from the previous ones, it is dark and chaotic intertwined, but the terminal found something hidden in the darkness through the comparison of the underlying data, and it immediately began to process the image, After hundreds of enhancements and filters, Hao Ren finally saw the shadows of some things from the hazy shadows.
"What the hell is this..." He couldn't help muttering, "It doesn't look like a cave or a canyon..."
"It seems to be a very, very empty space." Vivienne also brought her head closer, "Is there an open cave under the rift?"
"Hiss - scare!!"
"There seems to be something floating in the cave? Does this fly past the probe lens look like a pillar?"
"Puff—biubiubiu! Clap!"
"I also feel like a pillar, but why is it floating in the sky? Is there no gravity in the big tunnel?"
"Hiss..."
"When did this little thing get out?!"
Hao Ren finally saw the little weakling who was standing on Vivienne's head dancing and trying to emphasize his presence, and was shocked: He was completely immersed in the image sent back by the research probe just now, and he didn't notice it at all. This little guy!
Even Vivienne was shocked, she didn't notice when the little weak chicken ran out of her body, at this moment, she quickly reached out to grab the little guy: "Don't move around! This place is dangerous!"
"Scared!" Facing the sudden reaction of the two people, the little thing immediately waved his arms and let out a threatening cry, then staggered and fluttered in the air to avoid Vivienne's grabbing hand, and threw the Shadow Arrow vigorously while flying , "biubiu!"
The little thing was flying in the air so clumsily, plus it had to dodge back and forth, and it rushed towards the direction of the big crack. Hao Ren saw this situation and quickly reached out to stop him: "Dangerous! Come back!" !!"
However, the movement of his reaching out was still a step slow. The Brownian motion of the little weak chicken was impossible to judge. And plunged headlong straight into the rift.
At this moment, Hao Ren felt that his cold sweat was breaking out: "I'll go!!"
"Ah!" Vivian was also taken aback. Although the little weak chicken is just an evil thought body, and she doesn't do anything but make trouble at home, the damage she caused is so small, and after getting along with her so much For a long time, Vivienne seemed to treat the little thing as a member of the family. At this time, seeing this reckless little guy plunged into the big tunnel like this, she almost felt that her heart was about to beat, " Weak chicken!!"
The two were about to rush towards the crack almost subconsciously, but stopped abruptly at the last step. Neither of them was impulsive and blind. At this moment, they thought clearly of one thing: they haven't figured out the nature of the crack yet. , can rushing in like this really save the little weak chicken
Hao Ren released a self-discipline machine from the portable space: Considering that the probe lost its signal after it completely entered the dark "horizon", this may mean that the object without life reaction and magic reaction fell into the big tunnel before It is even possible that the probe has not been destroyed until now, it just lost its connection for some reason, and the self-discipline machine has higher intelligence than the probe, and it can also be autonomous when it is completely lost. Judging the action, so maybe try to get it to salvage a bit.
I just hope that the little weak chicken can last a little longer in the big tunnel.
However, just when Hao Ren was about to release the self-discipline machine, an inconspicuous black energy arrow flew out from the surging darkness in the crack, accompanied by the signature voice of the little weak chicken: "biu!"
Hao Ren & Vivian: "..."
The next second, the little weak chicken that should have been swallowed by the big tunnel flew out of it like nothing happened. She didn't seem to be injured at all, and she even tilted her head when she saw Hao Ren : It seems to be very curious what the other party is planning to do when they suddenly release an autonomous machine.
"It's... all right?" Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
Vivian immediately waved to the little weak chicken: "Come back!"
This time, the little one flew back very obediently, and bounced around in Vivienne's palm energetically.
Vivienne checked the condition of the little weak chicken nervously and carefully, and looked up at Hao Ren with surprise after a while: "There is really nothing wrong with her—she seems to be completely unaffected by the Great Tunnel."
"Is this big tunnel just to scare people?" Hao Ren felt unbelievable, "Or, in fact, it only works for the locals in the world of Laherien, and it doesn't really affect us 'smugglers' from other places? "
Vivian's tone was a little uncertain: "But we lost two probes..."
Hao Ren thought for a while, gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I'll test it a bit, and you will protect me next to me."
As he said that, he lowered his body beside the rift, stretched out a hand towards the "horizon" filled with endless darkness, and Vivienne was startled when she looked at the side: "What are you doing? !"
"Don't worry, I'll just reach out and try it," Hao Ren explained, "What if this thing is really just a fake to us?"
Although it was easy to say, he still put on 120,000 points of energy, and carefully approached the horizon with his hands while paying attention to whether there was any abnormal energy reaction in the induction rift.
However, just before his hands touched the boundary, he suddenly felt an abnormal coldness coming from his fingertips, and quickly spread throughout his whole body.
After the chill, there was intense weightlessness and dizziness—at that moment, he felt as if he was suddenly thrown into the sky, and then fell into a bottomless endless abyss. Various strong hallucinations came one after another, and the reality The five senses of the world instantly became confused. He even felt that Vivienne standing beside him had turned into an illusory shadow, and the originally solid ground under his body began to slide towards the direction of the big tunnel like soft mud. …
"Hao Ren! Quickly pull your hand back!"
Vivienne's misty shout came from the side, and Hao Ren tried to concentrate, trying to withdraw his hand while resisting all kinds of chaotic hallucinations.
He was panting heavily, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and the arm that was once close to the big tunnel now showed an almost transparent texture like a phantom.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the arm gradually returned to its original shape.
"Damn it... I thought my hand was really gone..." Hao Ren watched his arm gradually recovering, and his various perceptions gradually returned to normal from the chaotic and crazy state before, and then he choked out, "Sure enough, you can't just do it casually. Die."
Vivian also let out a long breath: "Your hand has gradually disappeared just now, but you didn't move at all, so I called you out."
"Just now I felt like my soul was out of my body," Hao Ren said frankly, and then he saw the little weak chicken who had climbed onto Vivian's shoulder and was lowering his head to play with Vivian's lock of hair. I can't bear it... So what's going on with this little guy?"
