"This seems to be the place. Following the guidance of power, we are here."

"It seems to be ... a very special place."

The stars are shining in the sky.

But that's not the real starry sky, just the image reflected on the roof.

Under this starry sky, the pace of scholars and scorpions stopped, because a small town appeared in front of them.

To be precise, it's the ruins of the town. It's also a very ... pompom place, where green plants climb on cracked buildings, as can be seen from the collapsed door and broken windows There are no living creatures.

Scholars have not seen this kind of scene before, because all the towns they encounter are inhabited by a group of quiet-loving creatures. This is the first time they have seen such ruins.

"That's right ... the power that made the idiot like to be calm came from here!" Scorpion said, pointing to a larger building in the ruins: "Go check it out, we are going to uncover the secret of this world ! "

"But ..." Scholars are also hesitant: "If there are installations that ... cause tranquility, then there must be a starter guarding here ..."

"Don't worry about that much, we have to move forward!" The scorpion jumped from the scholar's head and ran to the ruined town, and the scholar immediately followed him when he saw this: "Wait!"

"Can't wait any longer, the great mission is calling me!" Scorpion ran to the largest building it just referred to. This building looked like a warehouse-like building. Two heavy metal doors opened slightly, revealing A gap, looking inward, it was dark inside.

"Sad mirror, your secret will be revealed by me!" Scorpion yelled and drilled through the door slit.

"this is……"

When the scholar followed the scorpion close to this building, it suddenly felt a very strong feeling, this feeling ... let it produce a very weird emotion, it felt that it did not want to go into this building at all, but just thought Lying on the ground like this, into Enron's dream.

However, the intellect of the scholar told it that it must resist this feeling and must not compromise, so its hands were shaking, two ideas kept antagonizing in its brain, and one left it alone, calmly going Life is enough, the other is to let it continue to explore in this way, to catch up with the secret of the beginning of the scorpion solution ...

"Start ... completely closed system ..."

When the emotions in the brain were tumbling, the scholar said a word ... Suddenly, it felt that the surrounding "power" that made it quiet was much smaller.

"Hoo ..." The scholar breathed a sigh of relief, though it said he didn't need to breathe now.

This completely closed system allows scholars to close all contact with the outside world except vision and hearing, such as smell, touch, and receiving signals. All functions are closed.

This prevents scholars from receiving any signals from outside. It has no way to use multiple detection functions. It can only see and listen to the sound through the eyes.

It seems that the quiet power will be much weaker in this situation, which allows scholars to move on.

"Speaking of that, the scorpion seems to be fine, why is it not affected?"

Confused, the scholar opened the door of the building in front of him and walked into the building ...

As soon as he went in and turned on the light, he found that the scorpion was lying on the ground in front of it, and the scholar was shocked: "This is ..."

It soon saw that the scorpion was still moving, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It didn't die, but why did you lie here? Is it ... asleep?"

Then the scholar walked over to the scorpion, and it can be seen that the scorpion's eyes were still open, but this compound eye structure had no closing function.

The scholar first poked the scorpion, and then shook it. The scorpion's body rolled a bit. After confirming that the scorpion was indeed asleep, the scholar knocked hard on its back.

"What? Sneak attacked!" The scorpion bounced violently. It first looked around and then looked at the scholar. It seemed to suddenly think of something and said quickly: "I'm not asleep, I'm just testing the soil Ingredients! "

"There is no dirt on the ground here," the scholar said.

"..." The scorpion looked at the ground and found that the ground was stony, so he said: "I'm just testing the composition of the stone. Well, let's move on."

As the scorpion continued to walk deep into the building, the scholar followed up and said, "Why do you fall asleep? Is it okay now?"

"I said I didn't fall asleep!" Scorpion said: "But the kind of power here is too strong. I had a fierce confrontation with it. Because the confrontation was too tired, I took a break, but now I have activated the protection ability. , So no problem! "

"Protection ability ... Does your protective clothing also have the function of closing information?" The scholar asked.

"The same can be said."

Scorpions and scholars talked and came to the end of the building. They saw a wall and a large hole under the wall, which seemed to lead to a deep place.

"The secret is here!" Scorpion said: "The skeleton of this little dinosaur can prove this!"

There was a skeleton lying beside the hole ... The skeleton of the Emerald Dragon, the scholar squatted down, picked up a bone and put it in a small slot on the armor to test it a little: "This bone is still relatively new, maybe a few Dead before day and night ... And there are a lot of fungi on it. "

"It must want to enter here." Scorpion said: "But lying on this place forever, we will witness what it wants to see!"

With that said, the scorpion ran into the cave, and the scholar took a look at the skeleton and followed in ...

Scholars find it strange that how did this emerald dragon get here?The newcomer is not so calm, so strolling around here?Or……

Walking into the cave and moving all the way to the depths of darkness, the more than ten meters of the front part of the cave is still a rock structure, and at the position of twenty meters, the scholar found that the surrounding cave wall was suddenly replaced by a reflective crystal, and it saw it again ……skeleton.

This time the skeleton is not as complete as the previous one, only some small bone pieces are left, and under the examination of scholars, it is found that it belongs to another type of multicellular organism, and it is also one of the residents here.

But the creature died after reaching this position ... and its corpse was almost devoured.

There is a kind of fungus, there are usually many scavenger fungi on the corpse, but there is only one kind of debris found here, and the decomposition ability of this fungus is quite powerful, scholars believe that it can swallow a corpse, Including bones, most fungi originally known by scholars cannot do this.

"Don't care about these things." And the scorpion is not very interested in the scholar's discovery of these fungi, it has been constantly going deep into the cave.

Soon they found that the place became more and more spacious, and there were more and more bones on the ground. Most of the bones are ... incomplete, that is, half eaten by fungi.

The number of them is very large, many can be described as 'covering the ground', and scholars will crush each step.

However, there are still some of these bones ... alive.

"This one……"

The pace of the scholar stopped. It looked at the one in front of it ... The Emerald Dragon was lying on the ground. This Emerald Dragon had a smile on his face, and his eyes were closed. He seemed to sleep comfortably, but his figure was thin, looking It's been a long time since I went to eat.

And there is more than one of them. The scholar looked around, and soon found that some creatures were lying in the pile of bones, and they were all sleeping like this.

"Why are there so many creatures here ..." The scholar said: "Aren't they ...

"It's really weird here." The scorpion crawled to the emerald dragon lying on the ground and pinched it, and it woke up with a scream.

"Gah!" It saw the scholar and the scorpion at the moment it opened its eyes, so it screamed louder, and it stepped back continuously.

"It doesn't look calm at all." The scorpion shouted at the Emerald Dragon: "Hey! What are you? Why do you lie here and sleep?"

The Emerald Dragon was surprised, and it looked at the scorpion and said, "You ... can you speak?"

"At first I didn't want to learn your stupid language." Scorpion said: "Hurry and tell us why you lie here, otherwise I will let you continue lying here!"

"I ..." The Emerald Dragon froze for a few seconds, then cried out: "This is a crazy place! Everything here is a trap, I ..."

Although it is incoherent, it still said a lot of useful words. After it was finished, the scholar said: "... that is to say, you were originally a resident of a small town. Suddenly one day you think it is strange here, and then I started running around ... I finally found the ruins, found the cave in the building, and finally came here, and I have been sleeping here. "

"Yes ... yes!" Said the Emerald Dragon: "I ... I found it! There is a weird power here. This power occasionally ..." bursts ", and at the moment it bursts, I will fall asleep, and It will take a long time to wake up! "

"But I didn't run away when I woke up ... I have to go to the deepest to unlock the secret here!" Said the Emerald Dragon: "But when I walked here, it broke out again and made me fall asleep. It ’s not that you wake me up, maybe I will sleep to death ... I ’m so thankful for you, but I have to continue ... ”

With that, the Emerald Dragon stood up, shaking his thin body, and went on to the depths.

"... Let's go too." The scholar and the scorpion glanced at each other, and then walked into the cave with the emerald dragon.
