The expedition of the Lin Shu detachment has finally come to an end, because of the distance, the dragon vein where Lin Shu is located is getting farther and farther away from the dragon vein of the Hope, beyond the ten-day voyage, the connection has become unstable and unreliable, the question in front of Lin Shu is whether to continue to walk along this dragon vein, or turn back to join Lin Wei and continue to move along the original dragon vein.

Lin Shu couldn't decide for a while, so he planned to walk forward a little further, and if the distance continued to increase, he would consider whether to turn back.

In fact, now that Xiaoxing is followed by a slower Rain Spirit, it is unlikely that Lin Shu wants to continue moving forward, but Lin Shu is still a little unwilling in his heart.

In order to ensure the smooth birth of the Rain Spirit Clan, the Rain Spirit cannot be too far away from Xiaoxing and Hope, so that it can get the support and guidance of Xiaoyu and Lin Shu and others at any time.

One of the original intentions of the Rain Spirit to reduce its size was to achieve deep subspace flight, if it could not carry out deep subspace flight, the Rain Spirit would be abandoned by the expedition sooner or later.

This arduous task is not only Niraya is doing her best research, but even many research institutions and Xiaoyu on the Hope are involved, and there are many proposals proposed, but the current problem is mainly stuck in the energy loss in and out of subspace.

The advantage of the Rain Spirit is that the texture is very strong, so that there is no need for additional enchantment protection to enter and exit the deep subspace, which of course solves the trouble of setting up a super huge enchantment, but. To build such a large hole in real space and subspace. It's not an easy thing to do.

In addition, in order to prevent the formation of black holes or energy eruptions when the deep subspace is connected to the real space. The spaceship's entry into the deep subspace is actually closed layer by layer, so the energy expenditure to continuously break through the space is quite large.

The original ant nest used a strong gravitational field to carry out a similar subspace voyage, but when the mass was greatly reduced, the utility of the gravitational field was lower than the critical value, this flight method was no longer possible, and if you wanted to carry out subspace flight, you need to find another way.

It was because both Lin Xiao and Nilaya understood the problems facing the Rain Spirit and the expedition team right now. So they have already made up their minds about Lin Shu's trade-offs, and they don't care about Lin Shu's slow and slow decision, they are now focusing on solving this problem, for Lin Shu, he can toss as much as he likes, anyway, he can't run far.

Xiaoying made a trip and brought back some of the nanny star ants, transformation star ants, and Mao Ling from the nest, and many researchers on the hope were waiting for the arrival of these magical species, and they would try their best to crack the abilities of these two magical star ants. It is hoped that new discoveries can be made from it to advance the existing alchemy and alchemy techniques.

As for the idea of imitating these star ants to make a similar machine. There is no market at all, according to Mao Ling, it is better to make a machine than to directly produce this kind of star ants, anyway, as long as a fixed order is given, these star ants will work honestly, all you need to do is to give it enough food, what is the difference between this and the machine?

While the entire expedition team was busy absorbing and digesting the new techniques and knowledge brought by the Star Ant Clan, Lin Shu had already turned his attention away from the Star Ant Clan, because he had discovered something more interesting.

The cause of this thing is also related to the star ant clan, in order to experiment with the improvement of the command method of the battle star ants, Lin Shu carried some battle star ants to Xiaoxing, which were used as scouts for Xiaoxing, they would carry multi-functional detectors for activities, and use larger combat star ants as spearheads, the advantage is that they can carry more functional detectors, and the power of the detector can also be larger, and the mobility is much better.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to expose their whereabouts, and at the same time, the consumption has also increased greatly, fortunately, the star ants eat everything, and the star ants planted in the body of the small star also like to eat, if they are really lazy, they can directly grab some meteorites for them to eat.

In an extreme communication chain test, two star ants mysteriously disappeared, of course, this itself is the limit distance test of the communication chain, accidentally ran out of the test range, and since then it is possible to become two cosmic meteorites, fortunately, the star ants have no wisdom, otherwise they will definitely die of sadness.

However, even if it is an accident, Lin Shu will carefully analyze the cause of the accident, after analyzing all the signals, Lin Shu confirmed that the two star ants responsible for the test at that time did exceed the maximum transmission distance of the signal, but, strangely, before this, Lin Shu had already sent a signal to return, and the two star ants did not seem to receive the signal, as for the possibility that the star ants deliberately did not execute, there is no possibility.

The problem is, since the signal from the sensor can be transmitted back, there is no reason why the two star ants cannot receive the order to return? So what is the reason why the two star ants did not obey the order to return home? Lin Shu can only think of two answers, either the two star ants are dead, or the two star ants are controlled by something else.

But there's also the problem, if there's anything close to a star ant, those detectors can't find it, but the data from many types of sensors is the same thing, and that is that nothing has come into the range that threatens the life of the star ant.

So, the problem became weird, in the vast universe, if you encounter something weird, you must be linked to danger, Lin Shu immediately gave the order to stop advancing, and at the same time sent the scout star ants out of the gang, and laid a large area of warning around it.

In order to prevent the star ants from being killed or controlled silently, Lin Shu also specially installed a soul signature sensor on the star ant's body, once the star ant's inherent soul fluctuation changes, the sensor will immediately send an alarm to the forest tree.

Then, Lin Shu sent the other two star ants to the place where the two star ants had disappeared.

In the command room, except for the staff on duty, only Jessie and Xiaoxing were there, and everyone else was busy with the affairs of the Rain Spirit Clan now. Niraya had been walking around the command room for days before disappearing.

Jessie sat nervously beside Lin Shu. Squeezing Lin Shu's shoulders and looking at the data on the projection. and images taken by two star ants watching each other.

"How far is it from where contact was last lost?"

"Zero three units, three minutes to go. ”

"Slow them down, pull them apart a little bit and be aware of the changes around them. ”

"Oh no, the soul signature sensor alerts the star ant to death. ”

"The data, all the data, is fully documented. ”

Lin Shu was a little nervous, in fact, he had been observing the changes in the data just now. In fact, there is no change in the data at all, the gravitational force is normal, the magic energy of each system is normal, the dragon vein energy escape is normal, the high-energy radiation, and the background radiation are normal, and the normal can no longer be normal! But the star ant died like this, silently and inexplicably, this strange and inexplicable situation made everyone in the command room feel a little creepy.

"Husband, is this something invisible?"

Jessie asked with some concern, and Lin Shu couldn't answer, if it was invisible. That's too invisible.

"Xiaoxing, send the second group to continue to advance towards this area. Adjust the sensor to the maximum accuracy at the expense of the detection range. ”

"Understood. ”

"In addition, according to the distance just now, it seems that the other party is approaching me, calculate the distance between the two places just now, calculate the speed of the opponent's movement, and we maintain the same speed and retreat to the side. ”

"Yes. ”

Soon after, the two star ants lost their lives again, but the data on all the sensors were still completely normal, it seemed that there was a dead area, and if you entered it, you would die, and this area was still moving in the direction of the little star, the speed was not low, and a gloomy aura gradually spread in the command room.

"What the hell is this? Is it a death zone where you will die?"

Jessie asked the question in everyone's hearts empathically, Lin Shu shook his head with a smile: "If there is such an area, it must be made of something, the strange thing is that our detector is completely unresponsive, the only possibility I can imagine is that there are some immaterial types of things there, and the density is not high." ”

"Hmm, the immaterial type, the soul, the legendary necromancy?"

Lin Shu laughed: "Necromancer is not legendary, necromancer refers to the soul of a dead life, right? It is a real thing, but the necromancer cannot exist in the material world for a long time, for the necromancy, the material world is like a violent sandstorm, the constantly moving matter will scatter the soul energy and become a free soul energy, and the necromancer will disappear without a trace after the worst time." ”

"But" Jessie's brows furrowed, as if she was stumped by something, and after thinking for a while, Jessie finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with my husband's words, but I can't think of anything wrong?"

"Hehe, you must be trying to talk about how spirits, gods, and the like exist. ”

"That's it, weren't they broken up?"

"Have you forgotten the Dragon's Lair Array? The orderly and powerful soul power can in turn interfere with the material energy and form a protection for the soul itself. In fact, our magic and magic are all soul interference with material energy, but after the death of life, those souls are not complete when they leave the body, and at the same time, they don't know how to directly use pure soul power to interfere with material energy and protect themselves, and time does not allow them to explore and study how to protect themselves, and soon, they are destroyed. There is a special example here, which is the dragon soul, but even in the dragon soul crystal, the soul can be preserved for a very limited time. ”

"What if you have studied these techniques before you are alive, and will you be able to make the soul stand on its own after death?"

"Yes!"

"Huh, haven't we been cultivating this all along?"

"Hehe, you just found out!?"

Jessie's face flushed, she just thought too straight, her mouth was a little too fast.

"So, that one, yes, soul body?"

"It's possible, this time we need a star ant with a soul energy detector, and also, Xiaoxing opens the peripheral soul consolidation array and the ten-direction soul gathering array, and is running at low power and is on standby. (To be continued......)
