Not long after Leo hid himself in the sand below, a roaring mechanical sound came from behind a sand dune, and thick smoke could be seen coming out, followed by a tower more than ten meters high.

The giant mechanical spider slowly climbed up the sand dune.

This mechanical spider looks like it is pieced together from various metal fragments. Various metals of different materials are forcibly shaped into different shapes, and then spliced ​​together through some gears, levers, cylinders and other parts. This

This kind of mechanical device that was forcibly pieced together would make various noisy creaking sounds with every step it took, and every part would vibrate and shake violently, making it feel like it would fall apart at any time.

However, even such a shabby-looking mechanical device has a very advanced engine furnace. This engine furnace should belong to a certain spacecraft. Just like other mechanical devices and metal parts, it is also forcibly fixed on the

The middle part of the mechanical spider was activated normally without a central control system, and became the power source of the entire mechanical spider.

However, according to normal physical logic, let alone using a spacecraft engine as a power source, even if the earth's core is used as a power source, it is absolutely impossible for such a randomly assembled mechanical device to move. However, the mechanical spider in front of you is not just a spider.

Mechanical device, it is even more of a wonder.

I saw energy rails like vines derived from the engine furnace, all over the surface of the mechanical spider. These energy rails are what controls the movement of the mechanical spider.

Because the energy group in this engine furnace is actually an energy life form, he uses the energy generated by the engine power as the basis to pour his energy tentacles into the entire spider machine, driving the spider machine to move.

However, this energy life form does not seem to have very high intelligence. It can only perform some basic movements, and it needs to be controlled by a person to move correctly. As for the creature that controls this mechanical spider, it cannot be said to be a human, because

In addition to having a human head, their bodies and limbs resemble insects.

These human-headed worms crawl all over the surface of the mechanical spider. They have normal intelligence no less than that of humans. They can judge the surrounding situation and guide the mechanical spider to move quickly on the sand by touching the energy rail nodes at different locations with their limbs.

Movement, and these human-headed bugs seem to have some kind of spiritual connection and can coordinate perfectly without the need for words or gestures.

Although it seems that the mechanical spider moves very hard, and it shakes every step, it actually moves very fast. It has moved from a distant sand dune to a piece of sand not far from Leo in more than ten seconds.

In front of the ground.

Under the control of the human-headed bugs, the mechanical spiders suddenly listened. Then they saw the human-headed bugs controlling the mechanical spiders, opening a hatch in the abdomen, and then ejecting more than a dozen tentacles equipped with hooks from inside, piercing

He reached the sand below and kept drilling downwards.

Not long after, the hook stopped rotating downward, and then slowly pulled upward. However, at this time, the chain connected to the hook was stretched straight by a force, and a dull mechanical sound also came from the abdomen of the mechanical spider. It felt like

It was the hook and claw that caught the big guy hiding in the sand and tried to pull the big guy out of the ground, but the big guy was struggling hard.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and the mechanical spider's joints sank into the sand due to the force of the pull. However, after sinking to a certain extent, a halo of light suddenly shone at the joints of the mechanical spider's joints, and then the mechanical spider seemed to have lost weight.

Float slowly.

At the same time, some visible electric lights appeared on the hook chains. It seemed that the mechanical spider was using electric shock to attack the big guys in the sand.

The electric shock soon took effect. Although the pulling force still did not disappear, the hook chain no longer stayed in a stalemate, but slowly rolled upwards.

After about a few minutes, I saw that the sand under the mechanical spider began to roll, and a huge sandworm with a stone skin and a skin covered with various crystals was pulled up by the hook.

At the moment when the sandworm was pulled out of the surface, the sandworm seemed to have lost its resistance as if it was imprisoned by some kind of force. The body that was struggling violently also became quiet. Only the slight undulations and squirming body still showed that the sandworm was still alive.

alive.

After the sandworms emerged from the ground, the human-headed bugs on the mechanical spiders seemed to have known that the sandworms had given up resistance. They put metal baskets on their backs one by one, then jumped on the sandworms' backs, using their pincers to quickly dig out the sand.

Pick up the crystals on the insect's skin and put them into the basket.

Soon the crystals on the back of the sandworm were cleared away, and the human-headed worm controlled the sandworm to turn over and dug out all the crystals on the other side until all the crystals were cleared.

After clearing all the crystals, the human-headed worm loosened the hook on the sandworm, controlled the mechanical spider to retract the hook, then walked away from the sandworm and walked back along the same path. The sandworm was also on the mechanical spider.

After the spider left, it slowly dived into the sand, leaving only a piece of rolling sand.

After everything returned to calm, Leo, a bystander, also floated up from the sand, walked to the pile of rolling sand, and picked up a red crystal left on the ground.

"Energy crystal?" After feeling the stable energy transmitted from the crystal, Leo couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

Energy crystals are no stranger to Leo. When he was a cyborg, many energy weapon ammunition were made of energy crystals. However, all the energy crystals he came into contact with were unstable and therefore

That is to say, the energy contained inside the crystal is in a semi-activated state. If you are not careful, it will be activated, triggering various energy explosions or energy shock waves, etc. Therefore, this type of energy crystal requires a stabilizer to limit its energy activity. Only

Catalysts are used to activate energy when used.

However, now the energy contained in the energy crystal in Leo's hand is indeed in a stable state, and can even be said to be in an inert state. Even if Leo uses spiritual energy to stimulate the energy in the crystal, that energy has not been activated.

There has never been a record of such inert energy crystals being naturally formed in the universe. Without exception, they are all artificially synthesized energy blocks. This kind of inert energy block plays a very important role and can be said to be the cornerstone of the universe at all levels.

, ranging from ordinary energy tools to the energy guide rails of spaceships, all without exception need to use this type of inert energy block.

Now there are living things that can produce this kind of inert energy block on their own. If this happened in the universe, it would definitely be a major event that shocked the entire civilization of the universe. Even advanced civilizations would be alarmed, because the higher the development of energy technology, the more energy technology develops.

The more civilization knows the importance of inert energy blocks, if it can breed inert energy blocks like livestock, it will definitely play an important role in rewriting the history of the development of cosmic civilization.

Because of this, Leo also became interested in the sandworm just now. Just when he was about to see if he could catch the sandworm that had just returned to the ground and study it, he felt something coming from under his feet.

There was a faint movement, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the sandworm that had escaped before suddenly emerge from the sand not far from Leo, and opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth at the front, and rushed towards Leo. Obviously

It regarded Leo as a lone prey and planned to vent its suffering.

However, when it rushed to a place more than ten meters away from Leo, its rapidly squirming body suddenly became stiff as if it had turned to stone. However, the momentum of its movement did not disappear because of this, but it carried its stiff body with it.

It slid forward a certain distance and stopped just in front of Leo. At the same time, the open mouth was closed at the same time, and the whole body curled up into a ball, as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

It’s no wonder that the sandworm had this reaction, because the moment the sandworm appeared just now, Leo imitated the breath of Sylvia’s abyss dragon bloodline, although this breath did not allow him to use

It does not have any abilities of the Abyss Demonic Dragon, but it allows him to transform into an existence equivalent to the Abyss Demonic Dragon in front of some creatures with keen senses, which is a very strong deterrent to any creature.

Leo's body looked so small in front of the huge sandworm, but when he put his hand on the sandworm, the sandworm did not dare to move like a completely frightened animal.

It was completely stiff and stiff.

Leo did not harm the sandworm, but used spiritual energy to circulate inside the sandworm's body. At the same time, he cooperated with the spiritual network to check the structure of the sandworm's body.

"Man-made?" Leo murmured to himself in slight surprise after receiving feedback from the psychic energy and mental network.

As he said, this sandworm looks like it grew naturally on the surface, but in fact it has a lot of artificial traces in its body, and many of these artificial traces are related to the tower wizard's transformation witchcraft that Leo knows.

There are some similarities. Although he is not sure who is the source of the two, he is sure that the two must be connected.

In addition, Leo also found the reason why this sandworm can produce stable energy crystals. This is mainly because this sandworm has a large number of tumor-like energy collection organs in its body. It seems to be able to collect stable energy absorbed through food, and then

It condenses in the tumor in the form of stones, and until it is cultivated to a certain extent, it will directly penetrate the tumor, pierce the skin, and move to the surface of the skin.

In a way, the human headworm on the mechanical spider just now is actually helping the sandworm solve its pain, because these energy crystals are rooted in the skin, and the roots are connected to the nerves in the body, so every time the sandworm moves, these energy crystals

Energy crystals will cause the sandworm to feel severe pain, even the pain is strong enough to be comparable to death by a thousand cuts. This is also the reason why the sandworm stopped struggling after it surfaced. Obviously, this is not the first time that this sandworm has suffered

This kind of lens extraction surgery

However, the entire process of pulling out the crystal is still a painful thing for the sandworms, because the human-headed worms dig out the crystals directly and forcefully, and the digging process also makes the sandworms feel extremely painful.

After understanding the situation of the sandworm, Leo did not just let the sandworm go. Instead, he jumped onto the sandworm's back, found a suitable skin fold and made it, and then stepped on the sandworm's stones a few times.

skin.

Then, I saw the sandworm squirming again, but this time it no longer burrowed into the ground, but turned into Leo's mount and squirmed on the ground, quickly moving in the direction where the mechanical spider left.

, and this direction is also the direction where the psychic mark that Leo sensed is located.

The sandworm moved very fast, and it didn't take long before it saw the mechanical spider from before. The human-headed worm on the same mechanical spider also saw the huge sandworm, but they did not see the sandworm sitting on it.

Leo on his back.

At this time, Leo controlled the sandworm to slow down and follow behind at a speed close to that of the mechanical spider. At the same time, Leo's mental web also spread over, sensing the situation on the mechanical spider.

The human-headed worms were also surprised by the fact that the sandworms were following behind. They did not need to communicate through words, but connected through their hearts. They exchanged views with each other and decided not to go as long as the sandworms did not attack the mechanical spiders.

Pay attention to sandworms.

Although there was strong energy interference in the surrounding environment and on the mechanical spider, Leo deliberately narrowed the perception range of the mental web and at the same time increased the perception intensity of the mental web, which allowed him to still deliberately and clearly scan out the energy on the mechanical spider.

All situations.

At this time, Leo also discovered that besides the human-headed insects on the mechanical spiders, there was another person, and this person should be the owner of these human-headed insects and mechanical spiders. However, it is not accurate to say that he is a human, because although he looks long

It has a human-like body, but its head is a huge gem, and the gem is constantly flashing with light of various colors.

The combination of a group of bugs with human heads and a humanoid creature with a gem head was put together, but there was an inexplicable sense of harmony. However, Leo valued this creature more than the gem head of this humanoid creature.

The clothes he was wearing, because he could tell that the clothes should be the basic armor suit of the Earth Federation.

Leo remembers that this basic armor suit is a new equipment distributed by the Earth Federation. It uses module pendants to assemble corresponding weapon equipment modules on the basic armor suit according to your own needs. Because it is expensive, it is only distributed

Assemble the most elite troops.

Leo was originally qualified to wear such an armored suit, but unfortunately he died in battle before it was issued to him. The reason why he was able to recognize it was that he had mastered this armored suit through learning the chip.

All functions can be directly equipped and used just waiting for the armored suit to be delivered to your hands.

Although just a set of armored suits does not mean anything, judging from the fact that this gem-headed humanoid can wear the armored suit correctly, the other party must have mastered a certain amount of Earth Federation technology, and may even have a complete set of armored suits from an elite
