Season 1: The Islands Are Quietly Extinct Chapter 60: Earth's Past 5
The black vortex expanded rapidly, and dozens of warships were swallowed up without a trace in the blink of an eye.
In order to escape the huge suction of the black vortex, the remaining battleships fled frantically and violently collided with each other.
"Boom...Boom..."
As soon as the battleships broke free from the huge suction of the black vortex, they collided with each other and disintegrated in the air with a huge explosion, sending some battleships back into the control range of the black vortex.
Mutsu looked at the explosion flames that had just risen in front of him and were instantly swallowed up by the black vortex without a trace, and he also accelerated to escape to the outside.
Because the command ship Mutsu was on was larger, when it rushed out, it crushed the surrounding battleships. Each battleship was smashed into pieces, but they did not dare to make any complaint.
At this time, only Mutsu himself remained calm. As he retreated, he kept staring at the black vortex, always feeling that something was wrong.
After the command ship escaped a certain distance, Mutsu finally discovered the reason. If the space collapsed, it would be impossible for them to escape from the suction force.
In other words, the black vortex in front of you is actually the entrance to another hidden space, but it was disguised as a black vortex by Faral.
"boom!!!"
"Damn it, damn Farrar."
How could Mutsu not know that he fell into Farrar's hands again and punched the cockpit glass hard?
"Order all battleships to stop action immediately, maintain their original positions, and do not struggle even if they are sucked into the black vortex. It is just a space entrance."
As Mutsu's order was conveyed, tranquility returned to the space again, and the black vortex seemed to have heard the sound of the wind, hovering steadily there and no longer expanding.
Glancing through the glass of the cockpit, the scene in front of you can be described as tragic. Because of the escape just now, at least one-third of the battleships were damaged, and nearly one-sixth of the battleships were directly disintegrated.
"Faral!!!"
Mutsu's angry voice roared throughout the entire earth space, but received no response.
Although Mutsu discovered it not too late, the damage caused was still unacceptable.
On the other hand, Farrar and the others also became solemn at this time. Although the levels on this level basically achieved the expected results, they still could not feel at ease.
The next magical forest is where the real showdown will take place, and Mutsu has become more cautious with his previous experience.
After entering the Magic Forest, Mutsu directly ordered the construction of a temporary base camp at the entrance to isolate it from the Magic Forest, and then sent a small number of Zulu warriors with recorders to explore in various directions.
Unfortunately, those soldiers who went out to explore did not have any good luck. They soon encountered unexpected events, and the pictures sent back were so weird that it was difficult to understand.
Some were directly sucked dry by mosquitoes, some were suddenly crushed by a big foot that covered the sky, and some suddenly committed suicide after killing their companions as if they had changed into different persons...
Faced with such a weird magical forest, Mutsu did not continue to send Zulu warriors to explore, but instead sent a team of robot reconnaissance teams.
The robot team with independent intelligence marched cautiously into the depths of the forest. Drones hovered in front of the team, providing various dangerous information in advance.
As they continued to deepen, the robot team gradually discovered some very lethal small animals in the video data.
.
However, the small animals that showed astonishing lethality in the previous video materials did not seem to be interested in the robots, and almost ignored their existence.
After deliberately getting closer several times, the robot team confirmed this fact. The attitude of those small animals towards them was completely different from that of the Zulu stars. It seemed that there was nothing in them that could attract small animals.
But for the time being, they were still unable to determine the specific reason for this difference.
In order to get relevant information faster, Mutsu ordered the robot to try to capture some small animals, hoping to find some reasons for them.
The small animal closest to the robot team is a fierce bird that appeared in the previous video.
The robot team had a clear division of labor. When they were not sure of the opponent's reaction, they deployed sophisticated mechanisms, and after they all moved away, they started the mechanism's automatic hunting program.
What is surprising is that the hunting operation went extremely smoothly, and the little animal did not resist at all, making people even suspect that it was just an ordinary bird.
However, based on data analysis, it was determined that it was indeed the bird that had killed three Zulu warriors before.
Even so, the robot team was extra careful and locked the bird in a mechanical cage to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The subsequent hunting operation also went extremely smoothly. The captured small animals were completely different from the fierce ones in the previous videos, and even looked like two different creatures.
Soon the robot team retreated and returned to the vicinity of the base camp with six or seven small animals.
Mutsu did not let them take the small animals directly back to the base camp. After all, they had shown amazing fighting power in the previous video data.
If they were allowed to attack once or twice in the base camp, they would cause considerable damage.
Outside the base camp, a temporary laboratory was quickly set up, and the robot team began to conduct various tests on small animals.
However, the test results confirmed that Mutsu and the others were shocked. Both the body structure and genes completely matched those in the database, and no abnormalities could be found in these small animals.
After repeated tests with no results, Mutsu had a bold guess in his mind.
That is, these small animals were researched by Farrar specifically to target the Zulu people, which means that only when they encounter the Zulu people will they show unusually ferocious attack capabilities.
The emergence of this idea made Mutsu couldn't help but feel nervous. If this is really the case, then Farrar is simply too crazy and wants to break with the entire Zulu galaxy.
After calming down, Mutsu decided to send a team of soldiers to test his conjecture.
He pretended to send a patrol team to pick up a small animal back to the base camp, but this patrol team was lucky, he had a very well-behaved hound.
"Woof! Woof! Woof..."
When they arrived at the temporary laboratory, the hound smelled danger immediately and kept roaring.
And before the master could give any orders, he rushed out first and pounced on a little mouse chained by a light chain.
Facing a hound that was dozens of times bigger than itself, the little mouse showed no fear at all, but a hint of joy filled his brows.
Less than two meters away from the little mouse, the hound suddenly stopped, sensing a strange danger from the little mouse.
"Woof! Woof! Woof..."
The hound roared ferociously while retreating slowly.
But unfortunately, it has already entered the attack range of the little mouse. How could the little mouse let it go so easily?
The surprising scene in the video reappeared. The little mouse ignored the restraints of the light chain and dodged directly to the head of the hound.
The body, which was originally only a dozen centimeters, suddenly opened a mouth that was six or seven meters wide. Compared with it, the hound instantly became tiny.
Although he had long been aware of the danger, the hound still could not escape the disaster. When the little mouse returned to its original size, it also disappeared with the giant mouth.
"belch!"
The little mouse made a sound that was completely inconsistent with its own body, then returned to its previous position with satisfaction, and put on the light chain again.
The members of the patrol team were left standing there stupidly, some of them unable to believe their eyes.
Although this accident caused them to lose the hound that had been accompanying them for a long time, it also saved their own lives. If it were any one of them, they would also be buried in the mouth of the little mouse.
When this scene reached the eyes of Mutsu who was commanding the ship, what he felt was exactly the same.
At this moment, Mutsu didn't have the slightest fear or worry, but instead felt a little excited about trying.
Of course, this eagerness to try is not really to compete with that mouse, but to use more means to test the reasons for these little animals to go crazy.
Because of this accident, Mutsu has been able to basically confirm that these small animals in the Magic Forest are not just targeting Zulu people, but are probably very aggressive towards all living objects.
Mutsu immediately recalled the patrol team. Unnecessary sacrifices were not what he wanted to see.
In the next few days, Mutsu asked the robot to lock several small animals in different rooms, and then successively placed different mechanical beasts and captive animals inside.
The result was basically the same as Mutsu expected. The small animals had no reaction to the mechanical beast, even if the mechanical beast was disguised as close to a living thing, it would be the same.
But for animals in captivity, those small animals show strong aggression or appetite, and they always attack immediately.
However, there are still some things that make Mutsu a little confused, that is, small animals rarely attack continuously. I don't know whether it is because they are full or because of their ability limitations.
In order to clarify the situation, Mutsu released highly aggressive animals into the room where the small animals were after they attacked. As a result, those animals were all mercilessly devoured by the small animals without exception.
Although various signs indicate that small animals will not take the initiative to attack after a meal unless they are in danger.
But Mutsu still felt that it was not that simple. This was an intuition formed from the training of so many years of war.
In order to confirm his intuition, Mutsu increased the intensity of the experiment, sending highly aggressive animals into the room one after another, and even used small robot beasts to attack.
In the end, these little animals lost their ability to attack after repeated transformation attacks, and turned back into ordinary little animals. Although they were full of unwillingness, they could only be slaughtered by others.
This result made Mutsu extremely excited. Their robot reserves were enough to counteract the huge amount of transformation attacks, so the exploration of the magical forest seemed to become easier.
