The fall is not too long.

Yin Zeriel only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he was already taken underground in a trance.

"No ambush?"

He didn't know how Zuo Yin let him land smoothly, but now he was more curious about why there was nothing next to him, a shell human race didn't see it, only crystals all over the ground.

Judging from his previous experience with the Shell Race, the other party must have some kind of way to connect with each other.

And the one that Caterina killed just now, it's hard to say that there is no information back.

"There are no signs of life in the vicinity."

Yin Zereel looked at the detection transmitted by the magic sonar on the screen in his hand, and his face became even more strange.

The underneath the crystal mark was nothing like he had imagined.

In his earliest thoughts, there should be a lot of juvenile shell people below, and of course there will be more adult individuals.

No matter what, it won't be as silent as death like it is now...

There is no breath of living creatures, and there is not even the trajectory of the lives of living creatures.

Except for the crystals that still glowed colorlessly, the area felt as if it was dead.

"It's kind of weird..."

Yin Zeriel looked around, but he was not as optimistic as Zuo Yin, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He always felt that this crystal mark was like the open mouth of an abyss beast, and these multicolored crystals were like its teeth, ready to devour him.

"Are you scared?"

"Afraid!? How could I be afraid? ”

Hearing Caterina's voice next to her, Yin Zereel blushed and said without hesitation.

Turning her head to look, at this moment Caterina also went down to the ground, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Seeing that the other party was also serious, Yin Zereel felt a lot more relieved.

At least he's not the only one who finds it weird.

......

At the same time, the Immortal Fortress, the Floating Fortress.

"Your Majesty, this is data analysis from General Katerina."

Orianna frowned and passed a copy of the data to Ryan, who was reading, through Britz.

Feeling the information in his head, Ryan put down the book in his hand:

"The land is very active and contains a lot of life energy, but no life grows on it."

"It's... So I have some guesses. ”

Orianna nodded slightly, and said her guess:

"The underground is the place where life is most diverse, and countless tiny creatures, small animals and plants inhabit it. And there are only two reasons why a place that is very suitable for growing life but there is no life. ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

"One is that there are higher creatures there, and they dare not inhabit it because of their intimidation. This is consistent with the fact that the Shell Terrans live there, and without the Empire's interference, dozens of adult Shell Terran individuals plus 2 Chieftain-level individuals would be enough for the rest of the creatures to avoid. ”

"If it was just this speculation, you wouldn't be so serious." Ryan laughed.

"Yes," Orianna nodded, "the above speculation is only a possibility, but it contradicts a fact we have discovered. ”

"There are no tiny creatures," Ryan replied for her with a smile.

"That's right!" Orianna looked serious, "Based on your invention of rune magic, micro-detection, and Victor's invention of mechanical detection technology, we are enough to observe creatures that are invisible to the naked eye. ”

"Up to now, through our observation and research, only a very small number of pure individuals will not survive at all, otherwise even if they are as strong as Vice Council Speaker Delyus, there will be many tiny creatures attached to their bodies."

Speaking of 'pure individuals', Oriana couldn't help but glance at Ryan and Sindra not far away.

In fact, all the individuals they observed today, those with no tiny creatures attached to their bodies were all demigods on the magic side.

Only Sindra and Ryan seemed to be as pure as a piece of white paper, and no tiny creatures were beneficial or harmful.

On the contrary, beside the star spirits and demons, there are many tiny creatures with auras close to them.

Creatures that are only the size of cells, invisible to the naked eye, have also been named species by the Empire.

One is called the Star Blossom, and the other is called the Magic Cup.

There are many creatures in every species.

And now, according to the detection of Yin Zereel and others, there is no shadow of a tiny creature in the crystal trace, which is obviously not so simple.

"At first I thought it was the crystals that affected the growth of the creatures, but I quickly denied it."

Hearing the conjecture that was denied by Oriana, Ryan nodded slightly:

"Magic can't remove tiny creatures, there are a lot of tiny creatures that feed on magic, and those crystals can't stop these tiny creatures."

"It's... So according to my guess, there is only one possibility left..."

When Orianna said this, her metallic face showed surprise at the moment:

"Crystal Traces... It's a living thing! ”

Hearing this speculation, Ryan instead brought a light smile:

"Not exactly, a dead living thing."

Dead and alive, two opposite words, should not appear in a group of descriptions.

But for Ryan's statement, Oriana nodded seriously and in agreement:

"Its body is long dead, but its will is still there... Perhaps, that area was its former body, and its will was lodged in those crystals. ”

"It's close to the final answer, but there's one thing you've overlooked."

Syndra's calm voice came from the side, and then she said a word casually:

"Skarna!"

"Skarna?"

Orianna was a little puzzled.

"Do you remember what I put in the CIA about 'Skarna'?" Ryan reminded.

"It is used to refer to the whole shell people, and it is recorded in Naizur's Desert Scorpion that Skarna is also their name for their strongest individual and most potential individual." Orianna replied.

As she spoke, she also understood:

"The whole shell people..."

The information stored in the Central Intelligence Repository apparently contained information from Ryan's records, as well as information from Shurima's records.

And the first half of the sentence should be Ryan's annotation, otherwise it won't conflict with the rest of the sentence.

But the two conflicted, and Orianna wondered why they existed together in the database.

"Do you have any doubts?" Ryan laughed.

"Two into one!"

Unlike Ryan's step-by-step, Sindra directly named him.

"Do the two mean the same thing..."

Sindra's words, which made Oryanna understand at once, were equivalent to not only confirming her conjecture, but also revealing a fact.

Oriana's expression gradually became serious, and she said word by word:

"Skarna... It's the name of that ancient will. And it is using the Shell Race to complete the resurrection step by step! ”
