Chapter 22: The Luminous Cylinder
Moonlight is like water. The breeze kept blowing towards the top of the mountain, but it didn't bring any chill, but it seemed warm.
Qiao Hua could see the red light at the foot of the mountain through the gap in the trees, but he didn't see a trace of smoke rising at all, and he couldn't smell anything burned, which meant that the light at the foot of the mountain was not due to fire at all.
And Qiao Hua gradually appeared, and the red light seemed to show a rhythmic flicker, just like the effect of the light of the fire alarm flash on the ground.
Now his interest was completely aroused. Thinking of the kind of glass he had seen in the river, Qiao Hua felt that this time there might be something that he couldn't even imagine, and his strong curiosity urged him to run in the direction of the foot of the mountain with the same degree as he was hunting.
However, the kernel hiding behind him looked even more nervous. The little squirrel couldn't understand why the big guy under him was so interested in what seemed dangerous, and even had a hint of excitement.
Of course, it wouldn't understand the complicated feelings in Qiao Hua's heart at this time. This dwarf tyrannosaurus Ba hopes to find a higher creature with intelligence in the new generation, and maybe have a chance to communicate with each other. According to Qiao Hua's thoughts, since this creature can cultivate lotus flowers with powerful translation functions, it must be able to understand what is in his heart.
If Qiao Hua was really given such an opportunity to communicate, this dwarf tyrannosaurus wanted to complain and express the grievances in his heart.
"Squeak!"
The kernel suddenly screamed, which immediately interrupted Qiao Hua's thoughts. The translation power in his brain caught the general meaning of the voice: light...... Again......
What do you mean?
Qiao Hua was confused. In many cases, what is translated in the mind can only provide Qiao Hua with some information intermittently, after all, animals like squirrels are not systematic and logically conscious, and it is really not easy to understand what they mean.
However, the kernel mentioned "light", which made Qiao Hua naturally think of the red light that he was gradually approaching. As for the meaning of "again", does it mean that this little squirrel has seen the same red light before?
While doing so, Qiao Hua had already reached the end of the dense forest, and the small river at the foot of the mountain was close at hand. When he came to the river and turned his head to look in the direction of the light, he was shocked and even frightened by the scene in front of him.
A red light appeared out of thin air in the center of the creek, and the light flickered on and off. However, even when the light was dim, it was still beyond the range that Qiao Hua's eyes could bear. He could only avoid looking at it directly, and instead used the peripheral vision of his eyes to observe the shining thing in front of him, and roughly judged that inside the red light was a cylinder about three meters high and two meters in diameter.
The eerie cylindrical object stood dryly on the side of the river, its light appearing to warn the surrounding creatures. Qiao Hua only realized at this time that except for himself and the fruit core lying quietly behind him, there was no trace of any creature around, there was no sound of insects, and even the fish in the river did not know where to hide.
The surrounding atmosphere was so quiet that Cheng Dù, combined with the thing that inexplicably appeared by the river in front of him, made Qiao Hua feel a chill on his back.
"Roar!"
Qiao Hua couldn't help but let out a high-pitched roar to strengthen his courage. The distinctive voice of the dwarf tyrannosaurus reverberated through the mountains and forests for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
Although he was full of unknown fear of the red light in front of him, how could he say that Qiao Hua had already jumped out of the woods, if he was scared to flee back, it would really damage his mighty image as a dwarf tyrannosaurus, so he could only stand there with his head on.
He wanted to see what the hell was going on with this strange thing in front of him.
But after a few minutes, the cylinder in front of him was still glowing red. Qiao Hua only appeared at this time, and the scope of the red light's influence seemed to be constantly expanding and shrinking with itself as the center, not so much an alarm, but rather a scan for something.
"Zizi Zizi ......"
A high-frequency sound suddenly came out of the position of the cylinder and immediately reached Qiao Hua's ears. The latter was stunned when he heard the voice, and could hardly believe his ears.
If you look closely, you can see that this sound is constantly changing slightly. And Qiao Hua quickly translated the meaning contained in the voice-
"The thinking information collection device is destroyed, and the kernel is missing."
, Qiao Hua can be sure that this is a message that only intelligent high-level organisms can convey!
In other words, regardless of whether the sound just came from an intelligent creature or not, the cylinder in front of him must have been manipulated by some kind of higher being, and it is unknown whether this higher creature was inside the cylinder or remotely controlled.
There was even a situation where the large red cylinder in front of him was actually a strange creature.
Qiao Hua wanted to try to communicate with this mysterious creature at this time, but he just wanted to open his mouth and roar, but suddenly closed his mouth.
Qiao Hua suddenly thought that it was a bit too reckless for him to do this. Although the other party is a sapient creature, they don't know what kind of temperament they have, and if they know that this dwarf tyrannosaurus is intelligent, it will be a big trouble to take it away and cut it for research.
Moreover, what exactly is the "thinking information collection device" and the "kernel" that this guy is talking about? It can't be the white lotus with the glass cover.
Thinking about it carefully, Qiao Hua felt that it was very possible. Although he does not understand the specific meaning of the "thinking information collection device", he can also speculate that this device can collect the mind in general and guò at face value.
The ability that the white lotus gives Qiao Hua is precisely to understand the thoughts and activities of other animals, and to convey his various perceptions of the outside world to the brain more keenly. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to say that the glass cover is covered by an anthropomorphic device, and the white lotus is the core of this device.
If the disguising mind information gathering device was destroyed by the dwarf tyrannosaurus in front of them, would this intelligent creature retaliate? Thinking of this, Qiao Hua's heart couldn't help but tremble, glad that he didn't expose himself because of a momentary impulse.
In order not to attract special attention, the dwarf tyrannosaurus suddenly took out his ability to pretend to be stupid, pretending not to pay attention to the red light not far away, but slipped to the river, lowered his head and drank water.
