"Rong Xun, the nearby volcanic insect swarm is under your supervision, you just need to look at [the bishop] to prevent any unsightly insects from crossing the line."

The voice of Yan Lin, who was in charge of the volcanic insect swarm nearby, came from his hearing organs, and he could hear the obvious impatience in the other party's words.

As fellow guardians, they don't really care much about this kind of work of taking care of the animals, they don't like this job, they feel that this kind of work should be done by the low-level fungus farmers.

Volcanic insects, a small insect that can survive in lava valleys, feed on microorganisms in lava and have a high heat tolerance, and they secrete a special ore substance that can promote the growth of bacteria on the fungus culture tank above [Yernia], so the [Sulphur Capital] has also specially set aside an area for raising them.

Volcanic insects are extremely adaptable, and the Inner World has evolved into a variety of volcanic insect swarms, with sulfur-colored eyes, black ink-like appearance, and horned bodies.

Most volcanic insects are irritable and aggressive. The danger of a single volcanic insect is low, but if a group of volcanoes forms a sea of insects, the risk factor will increase exponentially.

Therefore, the responsibility of guarding the Volcanic Worm can only be entrusted to the most combative guardians of Yernia.

At this moment, Yan Lin, who was off work, waved his six limbs with pleasure, he erected one of the limbs, two of the three fingers were torn off, and the remaining one pointed straight at the volcanic insect that was wriggling in front of him.

"That's a convenient sheep pen made by the wise men according to the knowledge on the relics cube, the sheep pen, the syllable pronunciation of this word is very strange, two scales less than the pronunciation of our Yernia, the wise people through semantic analysis, they think that the so-called sheep pen is used to drive away some kind of creature similar to a volcanic worm, the wise people through research, finally discovered the name of this creature - lamb.

Once, a wise man proposed that the sheep pen should be a worm pen, but we Yernia have always respected knowledge and civilization, so this proposal was rejected, and he is now called a sheep pen in Yernia, although all Yernia have never seen the so-called lamb. ”

Rong Xun's eyes looked at the strangely shaped instrument, the outer shell tissue near his compound eye blinked rapidly, and the electrification device that was supposed to be used to connect the portable sheep pen in front of him had somehow turned into a simple geocentric fiber rope.

"The handy stall can be used to drive volcanic bugs around the fungal lawn, but it's mostly idle at all times, and very few volcanic bugs try to cross that line. At night, drive the volcanic insects across the creek to the circle with the largest number of volcanic insects, and you will soon find that the volcanic insects will definitely stay in the circle, far away from the fence, and the fence does not even need to carry the device's own power-on function, so replace it with a rope, which is easier to move. Yan Lin explained to Rong Xun

"What about the newborn volcanic worm or the newly arrived volcanic worm?"

Rong Wei asked, tilting his head sideways, looking at Yan Lin with compound eyes with a strange luster, Yan Lin naturally understood what Rong Wei meant.

"They'll wander," Yan Lin acknowledged Rong Xun's suspicions, and he continued, "but they don't cause trouble and quickly learn to fit in." Oddly enough – and you'll be interested in this phenomenon – dissolution – oddly enough, most of these volcanic bugs never hit the fence and were electrocuted. Most of them were born after we disconnected the wires. ”

At this moment, Yan Lin was like a creator, overlooking the volcanic insects that were advancing in an orderly manner, and said in an extremely arrogant tone:

"So, it's a tradition that these volcanic insects never approach the rope - volcanic insects learn this from their elders, and they never question the judgment of their elders!"

"Luckily, the Volcanic Worm doesn't speak," Rong Xun continued, staring at the harmless rope in front of him, "Otherwise, one of them would have asked, 'Why?'" 'The Wise Volcanic Worm. ”

"One day, the volcanic insect cubs of the skeptics will touch the rope with their horns and nothing will happen, but, in silence, the entire volcanic insect breeding circle will shake its foundations as a result,"

Rong Wei said this in some inexplicable tone, and he swore that he had never spoken such oppressive Yernia in his past as he did now. As if he had returned to his younger self or in the apprentice class, he always questioned the rules of the wise men and the accuracy of the Great Code, and he was always ridiculed by other apprentices of his class, so he rarely spoke of the stupidity of disobeying the wise men later, and when he patrolled with the guide waves, he quoted the words of the wise men to refute the stupidity of the other party.

And now, he felt that he was back to his stupid self in the past, and he retorted to Yan Lin with some obsession, and he said to him very seriously:

"And after the silence, the volcanic swarm will riot over these ropes!"

"I should have told you," Yan Lin said calmly, "and a large part of the traditional power comes from the quiet animals you see over there." He pointed out a beautiful [Abyssal Moth].

It is a large moth, extremely sensitive to faint light, likes to congregate near glow moss, and has extremely strong combat power, and when it swings its two black wing membranes, it unleashes terrifying slicing wind blades that can easily tear enemies to pieces.

[Abyssal Moth] and [Yernia] are bound together by a strain called [Symbiotic Mutual Bacteria], which is the equivalent of "dogs" domesticated by Yernia.

At this moment, the abyssal moth looked at them respectfully.

"We call him the Bishop."

Yan Lin did not hurry to Rong Xun and continued:

"Bishop, again, is a strange word. What is certain, however, is that in a civilization that we do not know, there are creatures called lambs, who have been taught everything by their elders from birth, and who deeply believe in the words of their elders as the supreme law of indisobedience, even if they sometimes seem very stupid and ridiculous.

Of course, there must be wise men among the lambs, but there is a creature called the bishop who is responsible for hunting the wise or driving out the wise men, and the bishops want the lambs to be stupid forever, as for the reason, I think it may be because they are two different creatures, so the bishop hates the lamb so much, wishing that they would remain stupid for all eternity. ”

Yan Lin patted the dissolved chitin shell, and then he left here in style.

Rong Wei was silent, an inexplicable sense of absurdity pressing towards him, and his mind recalled a certain image that he had not wanted to recall before.

In the picture of memory, in a dimly lit room, he sat by a faint fungus lamp, his limbs tightly clutching a cube of knowledge used to spread the message of the wise. Through the tentacles of his hand, he quickly read the contents of the cube, which read: "The war against Tyrannox has been won, all Yernia revel!" ”

However, just now, the cube of knowledge he received on the front line was clearly and clearly printed: "The war against Tyrannox continues, destroy these disgusting creatures who try to destroy the holy relics." ”

Rong Wei was still holding the previous block in his hand, his eyes sweeping from side to side, and there was no confusion or doubt in his compound eyes.

His mind was filled with a firm conviction, as if two completely contradictory facts were true in his mind. His compound eyes moved rapidly back and forth on the square, one moment convinced that the war had been won, and the next he was completely convinced that the war was still ongoing.

The transformation was so swift and natural that it was as if these two diametrically opposed facts coexisted harmoniously in his mind, without any conflict.

There is a lot of information in the cube of knowledge, and all of this information is conclusive.

Yes, with so much information to support it, how could there be Yelnya who didn't believe it?

They contradict each other?

But there are so many of them!

You didn't see it with your own eyes, can't you see the cracks in the truth?

But these are the words of a wise man!

There was a sense of absurd repression in the air around them, as if time and logic had been distorted and become something beyond common sense.

Bishops and lambs.

Lamb and bishop.

Bishops and wise men.

The Lamb and the Yelnia.

The wise and the Yelnias.

Bishop, Wise Man, Lamb, Yelnia, Bishop, Lamb·····

Boom!!!

The loud thud pulled the dissolution out of the great sense of absurdity, his ribcage rising and falling rapidly, and his chest shell emitted a special chemical that only Yelnia would release in case of emergency.

"Oh, you're finally not in a daze, I thought you'd have to stand there for a while, but I didn't expect you to wake up before the low-radiation pulse came, it seems that your cognitive impedance coefficient is a little higher than I thought, is it because of the difference in the brain? Is Yellnia, like today's insects, without a cerebral cortex, but a simple organ made up of major nerve masses (nodes)? ”

A gentle voice passed through the sensory organs into Rong Xun's mind, he subconsciously looked ahead, and then his pupils constricted, and he didn't know when he was pulled into a very strange space.

In the dimly lit room, the dim light barely illuminates a few pieces of furniture.

A low wooden coffee table sits quietly in the center of the room, with a slightly old book and an untouched cup of black tea on it. There was a rocking chair in the corner, and it lay quietly, as if waiting for someone to come and sit down.

And in one corner, an ancient table lamp casts a faint glow.

In the dim light of the lamp, the center of the table stands out, where a chessboard is neatly placed, the black and white squares are clearly visible, and the chessboard is presented as a square divided into 64 small grids, each of which alternates in black and white, creating a striking contrast.

Eight rows and eight columns are neatly arranged, with clear boundaries and full colors.

On the first floor of the chessboard, a man dressed in fancy dress and wearing a transparent glass cover on top of his head was sitting next to a chair, his index finger rhythmically tapping on the empty table on the side of the chessboard.

"Where is this !!?"

Everything around her was so strange to this Yernia, strange furniture, strange decorations, and strange creatures.

At this moment, the flower on the top of Rong Xun's head suddenly bloomed, and the terrifying fungus began to spread outward, and at the same time, the chitin shell on his exterior also began to expand violently.

"Unlike ordinary insects, which have a fixed compound eye structure and do not change due to the insect's emotional or psychological state, such as fear and anger, Yernia's eyes are obviously different, their eyes have obvious emotional feedback, and the compound eyes are sensitive to changes in light."

The strange creature ignored him, and continued to play with the white chess pieces in his hand with great interest, talking to himself.

And this made Rong Wei even more angry, he hated this strange species that pretended to be a ghost, so he decided to use violence.

His body swelled to the extreme under the action of various strengthening bacteria, and his surroundings were also covered with toxin bacteria, his body sank slightly, and then shot out like a cannonball, and his six limbs slammed directly into the opponent's façade.

"Hum—"

A strange voice sounded, and Rong Wei only felt a stumble under his feet at this moment, and his core was unstable.

So, he quickly adjusted his limbs, and then looked up again.

"How could it be..."

The beak-like organ of the dissolved beak opened in surprise at this moment, and his compound eyes couldn't help but emerge with an inexplicable horror.

He returned to his original location.

It was as if he had gone back in time, and he had returned to the original point along the clock in the opposite direction.

"Seeing aliens, oh, we're all from Terra, so in other words, seeing an alien species, you shouldn't be curious, why did you come up and plan to crush me to ashes."

Rong Xun saw that the strange creature in front of him was tilting its head, talking to him in the authentic Yernian language.

He felt like he was going crazy.

What the hell is going on with all this inexplicable everything!

He needed someone to answer himself.

"Who are you, the bipedal species of the new Tyrannox?" Rong Xun forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked at the strange species in front of him with extreme fear and asked.

Knock knock~

The strange creature stretched out its hand, tapped the glass mask above its head, and continued to speak inexplicable words in Yernia.

"The bipedal walking species seems to be indeed the mechanical species of the [Amoni city-state], or is it a simple robot?"

"Answer me, what the hell are you!!!" Like a beast on the verge of death, Melt let out a wailing roar.

"What am I?"

Rong Xun saw the strange creature in front of him bow his head and ponder, as if the other party was thinking about how to answer his question.

"If you ask me my name now, then you may call me, Hugh Abraham; Well, if I follow the script that follows next, my name would be Mephistopheles more appropriate.

Of course, I can now provide you with another code name, which is more suitable for our current situation, and you can call me a lawyer. ”
