When you open your eyes, you can see an extremely wide and extremely bright silver-white metal hall.

In this huge space with a length of more than 400 meters and a height of more than 100 meters, except for the streamlined rune light on the ceiling and four walls, there is nothing, nothing can be seen, everything is blank, and there is no air in the entire hall, it is an extremely thin vacuum.

The scale of the hall is really huge. This is a proportion and structure that ordinary humans cannot accept at all. The sense of incongruity and instincts can make everyone in the hall feel as uncomfortable as entering the giant country.

The bright light released from the runes around is a special torture. The light waves containing special energy fluctuations stimulate all the irradiated biological nerves, making them absolutely unable to sleep and fall into crazy fatigue - not to mention vacuum, unable to breathe, is a death torture that most creatures cannot tolerate.

And just in the center of this vacuum hall that seems wide and bright, but is actually a special prison, there are five translucent crystal pillars standing. On the five crystal pillars, five human-shaped metal cans are hung in the air by some sealing array and cannot move.

“…Where is this?”

Knight Clark opened his eyes blankly. He had just woken up from the impact after the failed teleportation, but when he opened his eyes, the Knight saw not the desolate land of another world (which was the case most of the time), but a hall that was obviously a civilization creation.

Soon, the knight discovered that he was now bound by a magic circle, tied to a crystal pillar that was obviously sealed.

"You woke up, and sure enough, your spiritual quality is the worst of the five of us."

The priest suddenly heard the sound with a little electronic sound from the messenger on the inside of the helmet: "Don't do anything, keep your original posture, and pretend you are still in a coma."

Although the Knight is said to be the worst quality, he quickly realized that the situation was wrong only compared to his teammates of the casters. Then, as the priest said, he kept his body still and pretended to be in a coma.

At this time, the five people were wearing the "Extraordinary Exploration Magic Armor" specially made by the Moldavian Collar. This is a fully sealed and fully covered special full-body armor. The outer armor is forged by "active metal alloy". It has a certain self-repair and strong world adaptability. It will not melt due to overheating, nor will it become brittle due to excessive cooling. The inner armor is made of the special "self-repair material" obtained by analyzing the body of the legendary demon king. It also has unparalleled suitability. It can even temporarily assimilate with the wearer's skin, provide nerve sensing, and become a part of the wearer's body.

For some reason, the magic armor of the five of them was not removed. It is precisely because of this that they can live in a vacuum environment for so long. The self-circulation system provided by the armor can allow the team members to survive in the void for a period of time. A mere vacuum is really nothing.

"What's going on?"

The Cavalier felt a little bad. He knew that he and others must have been involved in something bad again, so he quickly asked his teammates: "Captain, we are..."

"You'd better take a break, I'll ask first."

However, the mage decisively interrupted a certain crow's mouth, and he interrupted directly, and said to the other side, the magic armor that was also motionless and unconscious: "Captain, what do you mean is that we are now being captured by a group of intelligent lives in the higher world, and now they are planning to torture us through various tortures and ask some questions that we actually don't know the answer at all?"

"That's right."

The mage's tone was full of resentment, but the questions were well organized, so Priest, who had been thinking calmly, immediately replied: "That's how it is."

"At the last moment of our teleportation, an inexplicable attraction sucked us to a strange steel altar. At that time, you were basically all unconscious. Although I was awake, I was also dizzy... And at that time, I saw a very strange life in another world...come to us."

When he said it was very strange, Prest's tone was a bit strange. He sent images of creatures from other worlds to the other four people through the communication function provided by the magic armor.

This is a crustacean creature with a strange shape and a relatively spider-like appearance - but it is definitely not a real crustacean creature.

They have gray-black carapaces, sharp eight legs, and obvious "visual organs" and crab-like forelimbs on their disc-like bodies... In this case, no matter how you look at it, they are just some kind of strange big crab, but the most important thing is not this body, but an object that "breaks out of the shell" from the center of the disc's body, similar to mushrooms.

Is that a creature? Or a plant? Or is it really a fungus? No one can confirm this without touching it with his own hands. Unlike the huge body, the fungal body looks relatively thin. If you have to compare it, it is probably like a finger and the entire palm. Its oval umbrella cover is filled with extremely magical light, and the light shines regularly, proving that this is indeed a kind of intelligent life.

“…it looks a bit like a parasitic fungus.”

The knowledgeable alchemist expressed his opinion. He had been dealing with various strange plant organisms and fungi all year round, so he could see the special features of this life form at a glance: "I don't know if you have seen it. There is a kind of fungus that can parasitize insects, control insect movements, and finally eat them all up... This thing looks like something similar. The crab below is probably just a parasitized body."

"Indeed, when they interrogated me, they did have the same thing as the above bacteria column as the main body."

Priest took over the conversation and continued: "This kind of life in another world has extremely powerful spiritual power. It tries to peek into our spiritual world when we are in a coma. But because the species gap is too big and the thinking logic is completely different, it cannot do this. Then, when it forced me torture "how to find them" through spiritual transmission, I deliberately cut off my brain to supply oxygen and fell into a coma."

When he said this, Prest seemed to think of something fun. He smiled in the communicator: "These alien lives seem to think that the 'magic armor' is also part of our body. In addition, the active metal alloys do have some biological characteristics, so they have been tortureing the armor, whipping and cutting them, and cutting off several of my 'fingers', but they didn't expect to peel off the armor - they seemed to think that we are such a species with strong bodies and strong self-regeneration ability."

In this regard, even in such a serious environment, everyone couldn't help laughing - sometimes, the gap between species and civilization is so big that it is indeed enough to cause such a misunderstanding.

But soon, the topic returned to seriousness.

"These alien lives seem to call themselves 'fleet'. They should be sailing in the void, just in time to attract our failed teleportation."

Prest concluded: "Based on the known information, I can roughly infer that they should be doing something secret action, so we are very nervous about the sudden appearance and have been interrogating how we found them."

"What should we do next?"

The priests are concise and concise.

"Wait for the opportunity, collect information, and roughly understand the situation, use the 'regression beacon' to leave directly."

Priest didn't say nonsense, he said seriously: "These creatures in other worlds think that armor is our body, and it is impossible to analyze whether the things in the inner layer of our armor are any necessary life-saving organs - as long as we don't pay attention to these things, we can return through beacons at any time."

"Although it's a pity that you have to leave without completing anything, knowing that such a special kind of intelligent life in another world is not a rewarding thing."

The mission of the Foreign Exploration Department is ultimately about finding a colonizable alien world and a valuable resource world. At the same time, finding a foreign civilization is also an important task. Whether it is a primitive civilization with great potential but weakness like the Dragon Man in the Colonos world, or a huge and advanced alien civilization like the Star Sea World.

Although Captain Kita repeatedly reiterated that the value of the return beacon may be greater than that of the five of their Exploration team members - this is just a kind of joke of kindness, and it should be used. Thinking of this, Prest couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, they happened to bring this thing this time, otherwise they would have been trapped in this weird place all the time.

However, just as Priest asked the team members to remain silent.

Buzz.

A dull buzzing sounded from one side of the hall.

A round ‘door’ was opened.

A large amount of air was injected rapidly, and the turbid gas was mixed with gray-yellow spores, releasing extremely obvious magic fluctuations. In just a dozen seconds, the originally empty and pale hall was filled with air obviously from another world.

A team of eight-legged fungi walked out of the circular gate and came to the five people bound by the crystal pillar by magic circles.

The team of eight-legged fungi had an arc-like magic shield around them. They did not come here for interrogation, but for other purposes. When everyone in the exploration team held their breath and paid close attention to what these alien lives were planning to do, accompanied by a wave of magic fluctuations, five crystal pillars rose up and floated in the air.

A magical glow flashed from the umbrella cover of an eight-legged fungus head, which seemed to be a "gesture" of some kind of spell casting. Then, five translucent energy wires were connected to the crystal pillar, and it pulled the floating crystal pillar, and five people above it began to walk.

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

The conversation between the eight-legged fungi relies on some strange and sharp hissing sound, or even some ultrasonic vibration. What the human ears can hear is only a part of the one-sided part, but at this time, neither Priest nor others heard any roar. All the eight-legged fungi moved forward silently and left the hall.

‘You might be dealing with us, are they?!’

Through the communicator provided by the magic armor, the Knight sent a message in a group. Judging from the punctuation marks, he could tell that he was very nervous at this time: "Drop us a lot and throw us into the garbage pile, and even the heart of the magic engine furnace... I heard that the Lord of the Lord threw a lot of monsters in it at the beginning, and the death was miserable, extremely miserable, and extremely miserable!"

‘Shut up!’ ‘Shut up!’ ‘Shut up!’ ‘God beast!’ Everyone, including Prest, was almost bleak: ‘You crow mouth, if you talk, I won’t let you go even if I die!’

The Eight-Lead Fungus did not know the communication within the Exploration Team, but they did not need to know either.

After leaving the vacuum enclosed hall that seemed to be a "quarantine and imprisonment", the five people who had been proven to be free of infectious viruses and were brought into a real alien civilization environment by this team of gray-black eight-legged fungi.

Suddenly, all the members of the exploration team forgot to communicate, shocked and immersed in the scenes they saw.

The huge imprisonment hall is a rectangular metal cabin suspended in the air. Prest originally thought it was big enough and it was a giant building that humans could hardly adapt to, but what he did not expect was that outside this hall, such buildings were not worth mentioning at all.

——What a vast world is this?

Above the hall, there is a rumble and trembling, constantly reorganizing and reorganizing the "metal sky". Below the hall, there is a vast and boundless layer, and at first glance, the endless "biological continent".

This is an artificial environment with a round sky. The semi-metal and semi-life "sky" is constantly wriggling. The material of fungal columns forms the main structure of the semi-circular dome. At the top of this dome, a huge magic sun lamp releases bright orange light, shining on the flat earth.

The earth itself is also a living, wriggling fungus column. Above the earth is full of towering biological buildings, with structures like honeycombs everywhere, and tens of thousands of eight-legged fungi are in and out of the honeycombs, transporting materials and carrying out work.

The prison hall is a high-altitude extension facility located in the center of this world, a super giant central honeycomb. This team of eight-legged fungi took the crystal column of the sealed exploration team and sat on a cable car that looked very similar to nepenthes, and then continued to lead them forward.

There was no time to think, react or sigh, and everyone present subconsciously turned on the photography function of the magic armor and began to record the surrounding image data crazily.

Prest felt that his eyes were not enough at all. At this time, the group had been taken into the giant central hive. The eight-legged fungi seemed to have no sense of confidentiality and casually asked them to observe the surrounding environment. They sat in the cable car and entered an entrance of the hive vertically to the center of it.

And in such a short time, Prest observed countless valuable intelligence information while moving the cable car.

By filling all kinds of organic matter and outputting a large amount of magic, it should be a funnel-shaped white organ of the "energy engine".

With magic, it cuts, loads, and separates, and has dozens of processing chambers with eight-legged fungi.

A production base for planting certain plants, or semi-plant and semi-biological and bizarre things.

A translucent enclosed cabin soaked in light golden liquid can be vaguely seen with several eight-legged embryos floating in the cabin.

Priest even subconsciously forgot that he should hide his actions. He turned his head slightly, looked around, and looked around the moving cable car, which was a unique scene of biological civilization in another world.

As the cable car deepened, he saw that the structure inside the hive became stronger and stronger, similar to metal. He saw countless prisms made of crystal-like transparent materials inserted into the bacterial column, as if they were controlling its growth and movement through magic flow. Prest discovered that the deeper the inside of the hive, the brighter the light became. The self-luminous phenomenon brought by high concentration of magic allowed us to clearly see everything around us without any light source.

Not only Prest, but all five people in the exploration team saw that around the cable car, white bacteria ves floating in the air began to appear. The surface and interior of these bacteria vesicles were covered with extremely special runes. The bacteria vesicles collided and merged with each other, and from time to time, an extremely huge bacteria vesicles formed. Then the large bacteria vesicles quickly split and turned into thousands of small bacteria vesicles again. They seemed to be undergoing some kind of calculation and information exchange. Every time the bacteria vesicles fusion and split, it was equivalent to a spark of thought and inspiration, and a magical sound would sound in the air.

Too huge.

If the giant hive is the size of a person, then the imprisonment hall that is hundreds of meters long and wide and hundreds of meters high is just as big as a human fingernail. Deep into the center of the central hive, Prest felt that he seemed to have entered an extremely huge biological center.

In this creature's body, countless eight-legged fungi are moving back and forth, just like bees and ants, traveling between one huge fungal structure after another, working hard and exhausting.

At the center of the hive, which was so bright that it was comparable to the midday glow, the destination of the Eight-Lead Fungus and Prest and his group had already appeared. A giant hexagonal prism ‘palace’ located at the bottom of the central hive.

‘The Shepherd’s King’.
