Chapter 1155: Chapter 683: Strange Encounter_2 Chapter 1155: Chapter 683: Strange Encounter_2 Elite fighters who participated in the Third chanical Forest Battle had t their end in this area.
Everyone feared that Nico Ross would head straight in, but to their surprise, as he approached within thirty kiloters, he suddenly adjusted the flow of ti and returned to normal speed.
At the sa ti, the rolling camouflage sphere also stopped with a bang.
Clearly, Nico sensed the danger.
This was already the core area of the chanical Forest Star.
Beyond the layers of huge cones, there was suddenly a “city” atmosphere.
Several kiloters ahead of them, debris began to appear on the bare tal surface.
It was a clear contrast between the sides: one side had a smooth, flat tal surface, while the other was covered with stone-like grass.
Large or small insect-like chanical units road the ground and the sky.
Although this area was already on the dark side and it was nightti, the main body of the cone and the glowing exterior of these small chanical creatures made it feel like daylight.
In order to enhance the ecological breeding capacity of the chanical Forest Star, the Compound-Eyed Observer not only transford the Ancestor’s core but also created an entire artificial ecosystem.
In this tallic composition and almost atmosphere-less vacuum planet, chanical life flourished, each performing its functions, cooperating with each other, forming an eerie and beautiful ecological circle.
What truly threatened the Flying Tiger Team now were those seemingly harmless miniature chanical creatures ahead.
The original taskforces had hesitated when approaching the ecological circle.
They knew that the Ancestor’s core must be in the inner layer, but no one knew the characteristics of the tal creature’s ecological circle ahead.
After much hesitation, the special forces employed different thods to advance: so tried to change shape and fly directly over from the sky, so continued to use the previous mode and sneak close to the ground, and so simply went all-out and charged forward at full speed.
However, without exception, these warriors quickly revealed their locations and fell into the vast surround created by the entire chanical Forest Star.
After considering for a mont, Nico decided to lead the team to continue rolling forward.
The onlookers quietly sighed and lanted.
Nico made a mistake, he should have charged directly, at least getting closer after being exposed.
If he charged fast enough and executed good evasive maneuvers, he might even have a chance to see the silver Ancestor’s cone which, though not tall, had a different shell color than the other cones.
Just three minutes later, the Flying Tiger Team arrived near the grass.
Sophie Lee, in charge of bioanalysis, carefully used optical instrunts to collect information and relayed it to Nico.
“Compared to the organic plants we’re familiar with, the growth pattern of the tal grass in front is very peculiar. They grow very slowly, with electrochemistry as their main thod, and through weak magnetism, they slowly transfer atoms and gradually aggregate new substances. Normally, this reaction should take a long ti, at least hundreds of thousands of years to grow a half-human-high tal grass. As for those chanical animals like beetles, it would take at least billions of years to evolve these things.”
Nico pondered, “But according to the history of the void, this chanical Forest Star didn’t originally exist. So the Compound-Eyed Observer must have matured it in just a few hundred years.”
Sophie nodded, “Yes.”
Edgar: “So there must be another unnatural external force involved, a factory?”
Morrison: “Exactly!”
“You all shut up and let think.” Nico’s spherical form rolled in place.
He suddenly rembered an age-old joke: when in doubt, quantum chanics.
Assuming there was another layer of rules operating quietly under the magnetic field, regularly enhancing the weak magnetism, constantly breaking chemical bonds, and even the strong interaction between nucleons, it seed entirely possible to accelerate the growth process. The chanism of these rules could only be placed at the quantum or actual energy level.
As much as he thought about it, he had to move forward and investigate.
After a brief discussion, Nico decided to venture ahead on his own.
He severed all contact with the others and made arrangents for the “worst case scenario.”
“If I fail, Mata will be in command. Your task is to charge forward with all your power, as far as you can. Also, Edgar’s ability to escape is second only to mine, so protect him when the ti cos. Our score is determined by the distance we get to our destination.”
After giving his orders, Nico rolled forward and entered the chanical creature’s ecological circle.
The next mont, Nico’s rolling body suddenly stopped and remained motionless.
“Ah, it’s over.”
Lion, who always took pleasure in belittling Nico, decisively comnted.
Despite the other spectators remaining silent, they all shared this thought in their minds.
According to past experience, Nico was already a “dead man” at this point.
It wasn’t just his remotely controlled camouflage sphere that had “died.” In the simulation system, his actual body hidden on a nearby planet would also be declared brain-dead.
The majority of previous special agents had failed in the sa way.
Nico’s biggest mistake was that, as team leader, he shouldn’t have gone first; he should have let the reserves test the waters.
If he had done so, he could have learned enough to then lead a more successful charge, getting closer and earning more points.
