Tang Shidao floated in mid-air, watching quietly. The serpents devoured dirt and ice, and were quickly transported back to the tower. At the same time, one by one, the puppets flew out of the tower, forming a queue, and then slowly flew into the far sky to join the battlefield. It feels like a swarm of ants in action. With the tower as the base point, it spreads to the surrounding area.

After watching it for most of the day, Tang Shidao almost understood it to a certain extent.

It's the same as the auto-swiping in the game.

The tower is not a living being, it has no ideas of its own, only a prescribed code of conduct. The most obvious example is that the tower does not know how to tactics and does not know how to concentrate forces. For every batch of magic puppets produced, 10,000 were assembled, and this batch of troops was dispatched. Tang Shidao watched it for a long time, but he had never seen the '20,000' or '15,000' legions attack.

It's 10,000 each time, no more, no less one.

In addition, there is no relay station for the communication of the tower.

This is very strange.

Because.

Once a distant legion is broken up and too far apart to lose contact, the Tower will no longer send troops to help. It can be said that the communication range of the tower has always been the distance between the puppets and the puppets. As long as the puppets are too far apart to be contacted, they are disconnected from communication. No matter killed, damaged, separated, interfered with, this communication will be interrupted.

Due to this inconvenience, the tower's 'monitoring range' is very limited, probably only like the solar system of the mortal world, and it will be lost if it is too far away.

Just one day.

Tang Shidao reluctantly calculated that it would only take about a hundred days for the tower to 'gnaw' the planet. Not just the dirt and ice on the surface, but everything underground. Whatever it is, the Hydra Snake can eat them all. Even, on another nearby planet, more than a dozen multi-legged monster snakes have descended and eaten their stomachs.

Because they were too far away from the tower, they were waiting on the other side.

As soon as this planet is eaten, the next one will be eaten immediately.

Tang Shidao flew down.

I was about to enter the tower to investigate. Unexpectedly, some insect hunters suddenly popped out of the multi-legged monster snakes around him, and they all rushed towards him. Tang Shidao was also slightly surprised, these guys are different from other puppets, they 'know' themselves. Then watch the myriad snake devour dead trees and the fish in the frozen sea. Tang Shidao can also understand that these big stomach kings have eaten flesh and blood and know what flesh and blood are.

In all probability.

The Tower has Flesh Life data, but it is not copied to the Puppet.

What is the reason, Tang Shidao does not understand for the time being.

But......

"Stupid, be careful, hide." Several voices shouted almost at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of young men and women in half-armor and half-clothes flashed. Most of them raised their guns and shot to stop the insect hunters. A few people activated the device, as if calling for help. One of them jumped closer, took out a watch-like instrument, and quickly put it into Tang Shidao's hand.

The instrument was put on the sleeve, and the person came to start it with another button button.

With a slight flash of lightning, Tang Shidao entered an 'invisible' state in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful not to make a sound, don't activate your magical energy, don't crash into the rocks around you. Come with me, right away, they'll cover us. Hurry up, or more people will die. When someone spoke, it was a rough and heroic voice. Listening to his tone, he was faintly the leader of this group of people.

"Oh." Tang Shidao listened and followed.

In fact.

Are these insect hunters scary?

No!

Not to mention them, plus all the myriad snakes and towers, Tang Shidao could also be sunburned to death by a 'divine light'.

But.

As can be seen from the cosmic graveyard in space, there is no point in doing so. There is not one, nor are there trillions of them. To be able to produce so many puppet remains, the number of towers must be an unimaginable number. In addition, how much technical information about the tower is, Tang Shidao does not have extravagant expectations. After all, the puppets it creates can't even distinguish between life, only the insect hunters who defend at close range.

It can be seen that there is not much information about the tower.

Take another look at the gear of these people. It's not too strong, but daring to attack to such a point shows that the tower is not too strong.

As Tang Shidao expected.

The people fought and stopped the enemy.

Please help the spaceship and escape.

And then.

Chased by a group of flying puppets, the ship fled into deep space in disarray.

Break into the cosmic graveyard of deep space.

Thrilling shuttle.

Finally got rid of the pursuit of the magic puppets. At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The man at the head took off his helmet, and sure enough, he looked like a sturdy and heroic man. He stretched out his hand and turned on Tang Shidao's electric energy stealth meter again, and then introduced himself: "My name is Tie Peng, you have magic power cultivation, right, can you understand what I mean?" ”

"Well, the magic can sense your meaning directly." Tang Shidao nodded.

At this time, everyone's guns were not put down.

The armor is not taken off.

The fighting spirit has not faded.

"We have no hostility, and we hope you are not our enemy either." Tie Peng put down his weapon first, indicating that he was harmless: "We saved you, because we are all lives, not puppet machines." If you have other bad ideas, we're welcome. Of course, you have no ill intentions, and we want to have a friend who understands magic. ”

"I just wanted to check out the Tower." Tang Shidao was only surprised that there were people in it.

"That's not going to work, millipedes won't let you in. Even if you have the ability to fly, the millipede, in addition to the knife hunting insects and the flying hunting insects, can stop you in the sky. Tie Peng turned on the camera system and displayed some images on the back of his hand, which were the images of the Terran legion invading the tower from the sky and being blocked.

The so-called millipede must be a multi-legged monster snake.

Knife hunting insects are easy to distinguish from flying hunting insects, and there is a difference between those with bladed claws and those with flying wings.

"Can I ask a few questions?" Tang Shidao gestured.

"Yes. As long as you are a race of life, as long as you have no malice, we are friends. Tie Penghao said with a smile.

"Thank you. First of all, don't you wonder where I came from? Tang Shidao smiled.

"Ah...... Hehe, it doesn't matter. In this universe, the most indifferent thing is probably the origin. It doesn't matter which fallen planet you come from, whether you are asleep or reborn from death, as long as you are a race of life, as long as you have no malice, we are all friends. Tie Peng repeated, indicating that the Life Race was on the same front.

"I see. So, do towers make life? ”

"No, it won't. As far as our history shows, the Tower has never made life. It even said that it would not deliberately attack us, but ...... It will eat our planet. Whatever has the most energy, it eats first. In this area, for example, it eats the sun first, turning other planets into icy death stars. We can't win, we can't afford to lose, we have to evacuate. ”

"Where do you live?" Tang Shidao asked subconsciously.

"The head of the giant puppet, or the shell of the body, or the arms and feet. In short, a large enough place will do. The tower only eats planets with energy, and does not take back the remains of giant puppets that have died. So, these giant puppet shells are safe. It's just that once there is too much energy inside, the spreading and roving millipedes are discovered, they may also invade and rob. ”

"Do you have a magic spring?" Tang Shidao asked again.

"Demon Spring? Oh, that's old stuff. Yes, yes, some of the bigger forces do, we don't have that stronghold, most of them don't. It's not easy to train a mage, and besides, having a magic spring is very coveted by millipedes. If you want to borrow the Magic Spring, well, probably. However, you must join their legions and help them defend their strongholds. ”

"I see." Tang Shidao knew that Tie Peng had misunderstood, but he didn't explain: "Why don't you use magic machinery?" ”

"This ...... Firearms? Well, we do, but we don't. Because it's so energy-intensive, we can't afford it. Sometimes, defensive battles in strongholds are only used. Moreover, the magic machines are easy to spot by them, making it difficult to sneak in and steal. ”

"You guys just dived in to steal water and ......"

"Well, ice cubes and some necessary industrial elements. We need these in our stronghold, and we need these in the race of life. Let's put it bluntly, things that don't have magic are safer outside. Now, for example, even if we come across a group of puppets, they won't hurt us unless you walk under them and be trampled to death. It only around the tower, or around the millipede, that it recognizes us. If you have a magical machine, you can be dangerous here. ”

Tang Shidao understood when he heard it.

The Tower is not an intruder against the living race, it is not here for slaughter. To be precise, it's meant to be 'eaten'.

Unfortunately.

The planet is needed for the survival of the living race, and its food happens to be the planet as well.

Faintly.

Tang Shidao realized that there was a hint of oddity, and this seemed to be a very special setting scheme. It did not eradicate the race of life, but it itself continued to create calamities. It feels like a kind of 'trial'. But this is not the trial of one person, but the trial of an entire race of life.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"My name is Tang Shidao."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Tang. These are my teammates, they are ......" Tie Peng introduced the others, and everyone just nodded, obviously not fully trusting. In their world, mages are not strange beings. However, the presence of mages is peculiar. Some people have been asleep since ancient times, and they have just woken up when they are disturbed. Some people have died, activated with the help of magic, and are brought back to life.

There are some mages who like to help everyone, and there are some mages who hate everyone.

There are also those who ignore anyone.

Mages, on the other hand, are a great force to use and a source of trouble. In addition to their own free habits and misfits, attracting the attention of the puppets is also a nuisance. Some mega-strongholds also train their own mages, and they do a good job. However, according to some official notes: there is a limit to how powerful a mage is.

At a certain point, the power of mages and spells cannot be increased.

The reason for this is not yet understood.

However, in general, people still need to rely on technical strength to ensure that all staff are protected, and mages can only be regarded as special generals, or special staff. These 'humanoid weapons' are good at good, and bad at worst are disasters.

Normally, everyone is a little bit shy away.

At this time.

The stronghold has flown in. Through the screen, Tang Shidao also saw some ships that were badly damaged and were smiling in flames. These ships resemble 'hands' and 'feet' or 'torsos', and it's not hard to imagine that they were modified from the bodies of puppets. The war is not extinguished, and it is conceivable that their situation is not good.

Tie Peng and the others frowned, and when they saw the signal, they exhaled again.

Apparently, they are used to it.

"Hopefully it won't be too bad." Tie Peng muttered softly, knowing that the legion had gains, but there were also a lot of damages.

The stronghold in front of you.

It was a huge 'head', the head of a puppet.

The most astonishing.

"Captain Tiepeng, is it still alive?" Tang Shidao asked, pointing to the stronghold.

"No, because intelligence requires us to activate some functions, probably to detect whether there are puppet legions around. If there is, we have to be prepared. Of course, turn it off, or you'll be stared at. ”

"I see, you know how to use these technologies."

"It was some mages passing by who helped."

"Oh."
