Chapter 120 The Mayfly King?
"Leyu, didn't you say that the mayflies had set a trap here to catch us all? Then why—"
'
Behind a rock in a shallow area, Liu Bai furtively peered through his binoculars.
Five hundred meters ahead of them, countless circular robots floated in mid-air.
Behind the robot was a wall.
In the middle of the wall was a towering gate, through which various people with different abilities were going in and out.
"My guess is probably right." Le Yu withdrew his protruding head, his expression grave. "Perhaps they want to wipe us all out?"
"Brother Liu, how about I use my abilities to test them on them?" Puff suggested, looking at the robot with curiosity.
"No need, let's go in and see what's going on."
Liu Bai put away his binoculars and then looked at the towering wall: "Let's go in first and gather some information to see if there's a chance to leave directly from the singularity."
He didn't know anything about the information inside, so the best thing to do now was to go in and, if he encountered any danger, he could always revert to a previous state.
"Going in like this—what if we get surrounded?" Puff's voice was soft and hesitant.
Based on what Leyu had just said, she realized that these robots might be controlled by spirits.
"Let's go inside first. We can't beat them if we fight them directly," Le Yu advised.
As the fish and the bubble exchanged their thoughts, Liu Bai's mind stirred, and a progress bar slowly appeared in his mind.
After he entered the singularity, the white progress bar, which was almost full, inexplicably reset.
This means that the earliest time he can rewind is right after he steps out of the portal.
Based on the current information, the singularity may be a node.
Each time he enters the portal, the earliest time of the rollback is reset.
"Let's go in and check it out first. I can bail you out if anything goes wrong."
Liu Bai took the lead and walked towards the densely packed robots outside the wall.
He still doesn't quite believe it's a trap, since other ability users can come and go as they please.
I just don't understand why the Ephemeral Civilization didn't leave, even though they said they didn't want help.
"Hello, esteemed guest."
As soon as the three arrived in front of the wall, a group of round robots slowly flew forward, their electronic eyes rotating like electric fans.
Liu Bai nodded and said, "My friend and I are going to go into the Singularity and leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, the five robots immediately stepped aside, one of them respectfully saying, "Guests, our king is dealing with spirits near the spirit tablet. To prevent spirits from disguising themselves as other creatures and escaping, please wait for a few hours."
"Once the King has dealt with the spirit, you will be able to enter the singularity and leave."
"As for the waiting time, you can go and notify the other ability users to come and gather here."
"Alternatively, you may choose to enter the walled area; the king has prepared a rest area for you."
"Let's go in then." Liu Bai thought for a moment and made a decision immediately. He didn't know if the mayfly king was really dealing with spirits.
But according to the robot, all the ability users will gather here later.
With so many people with special abilities gathered together, these robots are clearly unlikely to be controlled by spirits.
After all, it's meaningless for those with abilities to band together.
However, there is another possibility: that Ling wants to wipe them all out!
But it would be more practical to take them down one by one. After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai suppressed the thought and slowly walked through the gate.
Behind the gate was a magnificent white building with large openings on its exterior, just large enough for two people to pass through.
"Guests, if you wish to rest, please enter any of the caves."
A round robot leads the way.
Entering the large cave, you'll find yourself in a large hall.
There were dozens of creatures inside, gathered in small groups. When they saw Liu Bai enter, some glanced at him and then left.
However, several strangely shaped creatures kept their gazes fixed on Liu Bai, their eyes filled with a hint of awe.
Liu Bai looked around and frowned, but before he could speak, Le Yu asked the robot leading the way, "Where is our team leader?"
"They're dealing with the spirits with the King," the robot replied instantly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai and the other two were all taken aback. They exchanged glances and then pretended to remain calm.
The team leader won't intervene; how could he possibly help them deal with the spirit?
The mayfly civilization here really has some problems!
After the robot led Liu Bai and the other two into the hall, it turned and left.
"What do we do now?" Le Yu spoke first. "Have the three team leaders been detained?"
"It's possible." Le Yu's face turned serious. "The spirits, or their king, might be dealing with our leader."
"Then what do they want to do by gathering us here?" Liu Bai looked around at the creatures in confusion.
Isn't it easier to take them down one by one than to gather all the ability users together?
"Maybe they want to—" Le Yu hesitated, then thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
Just then, from among the creatures that looked at Liu Bai with awe, a pink starfish walked over and came to Liu Bai.
"Hello, I've seen you on Weapon Street," the starfish's hoarse voice rang out.
Liu Bai tilted his head slightly, glanced at the starfish, and said, "I remember you. What's wrong?"
When he finished dealing with the six spirit insects, the starfish came up to him.
"Brother, let's talk over over there." Haixing glanced at the robots surrounding them and quickly pulled Liu Bai to a corner to explain.
A moment later, Liu Bai realized what was happening.
It turns out that the ability users who came in had already noticed something was wrong.
The earliest group of people with special abilities even attacked the robots.
However, when faced with the mayflies, whose perceived time was different, the first ability user to attack was instantly defeated. After that, these ability users became docile and waited for the robots to support them in gathering their own ability users. So, they left behind a group of the strongest ability users to stick together.
The rest, who weren't very combat-capable, were sent out to find the remaining ability users.
"So you plan to wait until all the ability users gather before attacking the Singularity together?"
After learning the whole story, Liu Bai looked at the starfish with great interest.
"That's right." The starfish nodded. "I've witnessed your combat abilities firsthand. We hope you can join the other fighters as a main force later."
"That's how we have a glimmer of hope."
"Let's talk about it later. I can't agree to that right now." Liu Bai shook his head and added, "However, I have a teammate whose combat ability is much higher than mine. If I don't take action later, I'll ask her to help you."
He planned to stay in the rear and see what the Ephemeral Civilization was up to before making a move; if a fight broke out, he would let Puff take the lead.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Although Haixing hesitated, wondering if Liu Bai had other skilled teammates, he could only suppress his doubts when he recalled Liu Bai's feat of taking on six opponents single-handedly.
After saying goodbye to Haixing, Liu Bai returned to Leyu and briefly explained the situation of the other ability users. Leyu's eyes lit up: "Brother Liu, should we go and gather some information beforehand?"
"How do we find out?" Liu Bai frowned. "Our movements are like slow motion to mayflies; we can't hide them at all."
"Hehe, they just have a fast sense of speed." Leyu smiled mysteriously, groping around his crotch with his tentacles.
"You know, I'm not very capable, so I can only rely on external forces to save my life. Luckily, I brought something good with me when I came in."
After saying that, Leyu reached under his crotch and pulled out a small bottle, then tossed it to Liu Bai.
Liu Bai took the bottle and looked at the words on it.
