242. Underground Kingdom 1

However, Lao K is not a biologist. What he is more concerned about now is that it is not easy to understand what the other party will do, and it is not easy to control. This made him a little worried inexplicably. After all, the opponent's combat effectiveness can be inferred just by thinking about Prisace, and Prisace is still just one, but the other party does not know the specific number.

But finally, the other party should not seem to be a barbaric nation. At least after discovering them, they will come to see the situation and ask who they are, instead of attacking them directly. Moreover, after listening to Gu Li explain the identity of the people on the Merry, he gathered around and held a meeting.

"They are... discussing how to deal with us?"

Old K felt that he was about to be depressed in the face of these big mantis. He could see what they were discussing, but for some reason, he just couldn't sort out their specific ideas from the other party's thoughts. With sympathy next to him, he came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't care. This is a difference in structure, not a matter of your ability."

Old K squint at him: "Then do you understand?"

Shake his head: "You can't even feel it clearly. How can I do it?"

"Then you talk nonsense."

"No, no, this is not nonsense. I'm kindly reminding you not to get into the horns."

Not long after the two quarreled, the other discussed the result. The guy who seemed to be the leader who asked them before turned to the direction of the Merry again: "Well, please come with us first."

His tone sounded light, but it was not rude. But in fact, no one followed him. Prisace stood in front of everyone: "Are you Ticotes? Your home planet is not here. As far as we know, this is an undeveloped planet, and no one can be its owner.

The other party tilted his head slightly, as if trying to understand Puliss' words. After a while, he replied, "I think you may have misunderstood. We don't act as the owner here. We just hope to talk to you before you start your activities.

He thought for a moment and added, "There is something wrong here. If you are going to the center of the earth, I think you should follow us."

Although you can't fully perceive the other party's thoughts, there is nothing wrong with the other party's attitude. Perhaps it should be said that the other party's attitude is still very sincere - according to Prisace' past experience - so, is there anything wrong with Porta?

It is very strange that an abandoned scientific research institution that has been closed for five years still retains a lot of equipment and even the energy system is still complete. After all, it is not a small laboratory on the roadside. No matter how rich the sacred court is, it should not let so many valuable equipment be wasted here.

Before today, everyone subconsciously felt that it was purely because the later clean-up work was not in place, so it gave them a good opportunity. And Matisse exists because of Porta. Without the supergravity generator placed by Porta in Matisse's heart, Matisse would not have developed like this. Therefore, it may be because of Matisse's own situation, the Porta has been temporarily preserved.

But it seems that you can't think so. It sounds like something really happened in Porta.

"Can you tell us roughly why?"

After all, Prisace is more careful and insists that he can't go with the other party without any explanation. The mantis on the opposite gathered around and discussed for a while, and then reluctantly agreed to say something:

"In fact, as you can see, we are Tikot, and we don't live here, but our home planet is not far from here. A few months ago, we caught irregular ultrasound here, and out of curiosity, we were sent to investigate. Then, I found that."

He tilted his head again and seemed to be thinking hard about how to explain it, but the final thinking result was obviously not very positive. Although it was a mantis face, everyone could see the depression on that face: "Sorry, I really can't describe it. Please come with us. It's not very safe here now, as in advance. After arriving here for several months, we should be able to provide you with some security.

For this reason, it really doesn't look like they are going to arrest Lao K. And to be honest, everyone's curiosity was also aroused by these mantis, but the other party couldn't explain it clearly, which was really appetizing. So in the end, the Merry still ran away behind the Ticotes.

In the fifth universe, there is a galaxy Rafis, which is very aggressive, but the galaxy where Matisse is located is not very close to Rafis; the Ticotes are good hunters, but they are not a murderous race. These two points make everyone feel more at ease.

But it's still a little strange to feel at ease. Ticote is not such a developed race. Why did he react to the situation on Matisse, which is still a little far away from their home planet? While thinking, Gu Li began to analyze the data just collected, but found that the data were very ordinary. Usually, it was completely impossible to see a large building complex like the ground like the Porta.

"What blocks the signal?"

Gu Li feels a little incredible, but he doesn't have time to think about it now. Matisse was too small. Although the Ticotes did not fly very fast, they soon arrived at their destination: an obviously artificially cleaned forest open space.

The open space is not large, and the most striking space in the middle is the two spacecraft side by side. Around the spacecraft, there are some green figures moving on the ground and mid-air. The arrival of the Merry was undoubtedly very eye-catching. As soon as they approached, all the Ticotes near the spacecraft stopped their work and looked at their positions.

Everyone on the Merry was full of face. Although they were stared at by so many big double eyes, no one felt embarrassed. However, they soon realized that these Tikot people stared at them not because of themselves, but because the forest space was not large and could not let go of the third spaceship, even if the size of the Merry was really small.

Fortunately, it's not in space at this time. The Merry hatch opened, and Prisace stood by the hatch and rushed out and shouted, "Is there no place here?" They can let the Merry stop in mid-air, but it is very energy-consuming, and if something special happens here, it will greatly increase the probability of losing the spacecraft.

The Ticote people gathered again to discuss. After a while, a Ticote entered a spaceship and came out with a ring of silvery rope on his forearms, and one end of the rope remained in the spaceship. The Ticote named Scissor Wings, who first talked to old K and others, took the rope and flew directly to Prisace, signaling, "You can use this to tie your spaceship to us."

“......”

Pliss stared at the circle of rope for a long time, and finally took it over and tied the other end directly to the armrest on the inside of the second-layer decompression door. This is really stupid. If he doesn't do it so calmly, Plrace feels that he will jump from the spaceship and commit suicide in shame if he doesn't do it the next second. However, he is not the only one who can't understand his thoughts about the Ticote. Everyone can understand his mood at this moment, and no one laughs at him unkindly.

That kind of rope is very magical. Originally, everyone thought that the hatch could not be closed in this way, but what they didn't expect was that the hatch could still be closed. The material used in this rope seems to be arbitrarily stretched to be thin enough that even a spacecraft with such a high degree of sealing will not be a problem.

was amazed at this material. Ticote finally finished today's first meeting, and looking at the posture, he finally wanted to talk to Lao K and others about business.

"We discussed it," the scissors still spoke on behalf of all the Ticotes. "I'll take you down and have a look right away."

“......”

Well, after all, it is not easy for insects to evolve intelligence, and it is not easy to travel in space. You can't be too demanding, right?

Pliss and Sa subconsciously took a look at their private terminals. It has been almost 30 minutes since these Tikotes found them, but in fact, they can actually take the Merry directly to their destination at the beginning, right?

However, in any case, it is finally a formal action, and not long after the action began, everyone forgot to complain about those big mantis and was completely shocked by the scene in front of them.

The hole deep into the surface of the Ticoats was temporarily dug by themselves, not far from the ship's berthing place - well, no matter where it goes on Matisse, the distance is "not far" - the hole is very deep, but not very wide. Fortunately, except for the white hair and Puli equipped with their own mantis armor on the Meri Except for Seth, no one else is big. At this time, Prisace was still the same, and Bai Mao looked at the hole and consciously stayed on the ground to take care of it, so the speed of everyone entering the cave was not slow.

The feeling of drilling a hole is not very good, especially at the beginning. At that time, the cave was still a pure cave, and the soil exuded a unique smell. Occasionally, insects and oozing groundwater appeared under everyone's feet. But after walking about a few hundred meters, the light outside was difficult to shine in, and everyone found the problem.

According to the distance they have advanced, they should have arrived near Porta by now. In fact, the current situation also proves this somewhat: their current position, the upper and lower feelings are completely different from before. At their feet, there is a huge space except for the rough earth steps previously excavated by the Ticotes.

Relying on the light of the lighting, everyone stood on the steps and looked down. On the lowest step was the cutting wings of the leader, ready to fly at any time: "We have arrived, their city."

To be honest, the quality of the Ticote lighting is not good, and it is basically difficult to see what is in the space underneath. Old K and others thought that the scissor wings were talking about Porta. It was not until they carefully went down and turned on the lighting equipment they were carrying that they found that the scene in front of them was very surprising. Originally, it should have been the location of Porta, but now there is only a huge mud ball!

"What is that?"

When everyone was still in a daze, Lao K took the lead in sensing another kind of thinking fluctuation that did not belong to anyone in their team. It's very small, and it's easy to ignore if you don't pay attention to it, but if you feel it carefully, you will find that the thought wave is not just one, but countless, filling the whole space. This made Lao K suddenly feel like suddenly seeing a large area of ants crawling in front of him, and he couldn't help trembling all over.
