What's more mysterious is that the tardigrade has taken the bighead carp as its little brother.
The place where it stays under the big crack is also very special.
Not only are there large fan-shaped slabs and tridents, but there is also a strange place in between.
Just now, when we crossed the place where the trident and the fan-shaped stone slab meet.
Qiao Shan discovered that at the intersection of these two things, which were not sure whether they were weapons or some other type of things, there was something like a hole.
Qiao Shan guessed that there would be something even more mysterious after entering the cave.
The unique tardigrade has no reaction to attacks from its own enemies.
Not only did their attack fail to cause any harm to it, the tardigrade also didn't seem to have any intention of attacking Qiao Shan and the others.
Qiao Shan was very surprised by this.
He felt that what he should do now was to go back home and think carefully.
He needs to analyze and judge carefully what to do next.
The tardigrade under the big crack is obviously a very unique creature, and he has a lot to think about.
There are not only tardigrades, but also the magical trident and broken fan-shaped slabs inside the crater, as well as the mysterious cave between the two.
What he had encountered before and all his experiences were completely different from what he encountered this time.
Qiao Shan needs more information and more thinking.
“Whoosh!”
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, the hair flew away with a whoosh, and it swam quickly towards the side of the crater, where it had just come from.
Wei Yang and Alice also supported Qiao Shan in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them began to slowly retreat.
Tardigrades are very special, Qiao Shan needs to think about them carefully.
Wei Yang and Alice also felt that this matter needed to be discussed carefully.
Currently, it seems that Water Bear Chong is immune to all attacks from all of them.
Not to be underestimated.
“I’ll go!”
The hair had already penetrated into the big crack, and Qiao Shan and the other two had only retreated more than a hundred meters.
Suddenly they discovered that the bighead carp was flapping its little tail, and swam over with the bighead carp sitting on its head, following the three people.
This made Qiao Shan extremely surprised.
What's going on?
I hit you just now and you didn't react.
We were about to retreat at this moment, but you merged with the fathead fish and followed us.
What's the situation?
Qiao Shan didn't understand, and the fathead fish followed him.
Does it mean tardigrade or water bear?
He guessed that it was most likely caused by tardigrades.
"Fuck you!"
Qiao Shan, with Alice and Wei Yang on his left and right, moved to another position.
He didn't expect that the bighead carp would also follow them, flapping its tail, and move in exactly the same path as the three people.
Qiao Shan was speechless.
What's going on?
Qiao Shan was stunned.
Won't let me go?
"Hurry up! Go straight up!"
He changed his moving path several times, but saw that the bighead carp was still following him relentlessly.
Qiao Shan thought about it and decided to ignore it.
First, lead everyone to swim quickly, at least to the surface of the water.
Just get to the surface.
Even if they follow me, I'm not afraid.
He believed that there should be many tower ships waiting on the water at this moment.
Because before going into the water, he gave Ali instructions to make some preparations.
Although it seems that even if he has a large number of tower ships, they will not cause any harm to the tardigrades.
But once it reaches the surface, there is no longer any suppression of water sources within the special large cracks.
The power of the elemental forces they released on the water must have been enhanced.
The battle on the water is definitely more advantageous to Qiao Shan.
Moreover, they can float on the water surface. Qiao Shan doesn't think that the tardigrades and water bears can jump thousands of meters into the air to chase him.
If that's the case, there's nothing to fight about.
Crash~
Crash~
When Qiao Shan and the other two were swimming faster, the fathead fish caught up with them, wagging its tail. It was obvious that the fathead fish was much faster than Qiao Shan and the other two.
But for some reason, it did not speed up and rush to Qiao Shan and others, but moved at the same speed as the three of them.
The two sides maintained a constant distance of several hundred meters.
When Qiao Shan and his two companions swam fast, the bighead fish also swam fast. When Qiao Shan and his two companions swam slowly, the bighead fish also swam slowly.
Qiao Shan and the other two were stuck...
The fathead fish stared with its small eyes and quickly followed Qiao Shan and the other two.
And on its head.
Sitting there is a pink, more than one meter long tardigrade, and no one knows what it wants to do.
Like the tardigrade, the tardigrade has an expressionless face and a pair of small eyes staring at you.
There is no other expression.
Qiao Shan couldn't guess what was going on...
All Qiao Shan could do was swim quickly while guarding against sudden attacks from tardigrades and bighead carps.
“Wow~”
Soon, the group swam quickly, and Qiao Shan and the other two got out of the big crack and entered Nia and the riverbed.
After entering the bottom of the Nia River, Qiao Shan and the other two were moving much faster.
The hair that was at the front had already disappeared.
When he saw the tardigrade following him just now, Hair instinctively panicked and made it leave quickly.
Seeing this, Alice did not force the hair to follow the three of them.
I have just tested it, and hair can at most compete with bighead carp.
It also does not cause any harm to tardigrades.
Instead, you might be scared to death by tardigrades, so it is better to keep your hair away from them.
As long as you don't hold back.
“Speed ​​up!”
Qiao Shan looked back and saw that the bighead carp was also carrying a tardigrade. With a "whoosh", it crawled out of the big crack and followed them out.
While giving new instructions to Alice and Wei Yang, he quickly relayed through Alice's instructions to Ali to command the tower ship and the prepared squid war pigs to retreat.
Looking at the bighead carp and tardigrades chasing him closely below, Qiao Shan knew that leaving these things on top would only cause damage.
It’s better to put it away early .
It can be seen that the water bear intends to follow him all the way to the surface of the water.
After thinking about it, I recalled the situation I had just encountered with the tardigrades, and judged that the combat power of the bighead carp was similar to that of the hair, so I decided to avoid causing additional damage to my own troops.
Qiao Shan directly asked the tower ships that were prepared to move away.
I originally wanted to keep one last trick in case I encountered some unexpected situation in the big rift, so I could use the tower ship prepared on the river to wait for the opportunity.
But I have seen a bighead carp whose fighting power is almost the same as that of hair.
Meet the tardigrades that seem to be immune to any attack.
Qiao Shan did not plan to attack his ambush team.
Waste of effort!
It may also cause casualties to one's own units.
Retreat quickly!
"Um!"
After quickly contacting Ali, Alice nodded to Qiao Shan.
At the same time, she quickly told Ahri about what happened underwater just now.
"Let's see how long you can keep following me?!"
Seeing that the three of them were less than 200 meters away from the surface of the Nia River, but the bighead carp and tardigrades were still following them, Qiao Shan muttered something to himself.
He was very confused. Why didn't the tardigrade attack him at this moment?
Why not a hint of aggression?
And in the end, it swam up with me.
But no matter what, Qiao Shan understood that as long as he reached the surface of the water, his safety would immediately increase.
Qiao Shan didn't believe that the bighead carp and the tardigrade could follow him ashore.
Even tardigrades can come ashore and don’t need to breathe, and their defense is still invincible after they come ashore.
But there was no bighead carp to assist its movement.
Qiao Shan felt that he still had some means to deal with water bears.
Even if it cannot be killed, once it reaches the shore, the tardigrade will no longer have the help of the tardigrade to move.
Qiao Shan felt that even if he had to control him again.
It's also much more convenient than underwater.
Crash~
Quickly breaking through the water surface, Qiao Shan and the other two were soon standing on the warship that Ali had sent to pick them up.
"Fly, fly high, I'll see how long it can catch up to me!"
After boarding the warship, Qiao Shan gave direct orders.
He wanted to see what would happen to the tardigrades and water bears if all of his men flew into the air.
He didn't believe at all that the bighead carp could grow wings between its sides and fly directly into the sky.
If that was the case, he would have just teleported away.
No more playing in this place...
.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, Alice, Ali, and Wei Yang instantly spread their wings behind them and flew directly into the sky.
And Qiao Shan was also pulled by the three people and floated in the air.
Alice and Ahri have the ability to fly, and Wei Yang also has a seventh-level high-end flying prop to assist her in flying.
They alone might not be able to take Qiao Shan to great heights.
But there were three people who could completely pull Qiao Shan into the air and keep him stable away from the water.
Crash~
As Qiao Shan was pulled into the air by the three men, the bighead carp under them suddenly pushed away the water surface with a splash and floated on the water.
A bighead carp over a hundred meters long floated on the water, as big as a battleship.
There is a pink|tender pig-like tardigrade sitting on the head of the fathead fish, which looks very strange.
"What do you want?"
Qiao Shan, who was being pulled by three people and floating in the air, looked at the tardigrades and bighead carps below and couldn't help muttering to himself.
Tardigrades are not simple.
Not only does it guard the meteorite basin at the end of the big rift, but it also guards the fan-shaped stone slabs and trident in the basin.
It even guards the entrance to the cave beneath the trident and the fan-shaped slabs.
And the defense is invincible.
The bighead carp is its younger brother.
Just now, Qiao Shan and others attacked the tardigrade so much, but it didn't show any intention of fighting back.
And at this moment, it followed Qiao Shan directly to the water surface.
Qiao Shan was confused and couldn't understand what the water bear's purpose was.
But he was very curious.
Before, the tardigrade was not afraid of the attacks from its own people, so it did not resist.
It felt that the attacks from Qiao Shan and others were of no importance to it, so it did not fight back, which was understandable.
But at this moment, the tardigrade was sitting on the bighead carp and followed Qiao Shan and the other two directly to the surface of the water.
Qiao Shan still found this very strange.
Many of the behaviors of tardigrades simply don’t make sense…
.
"Do you want me to use the power of my soul to sense it?"
It floated in the air for a while and confronted the tardigrades below for a while.
After staring at each other for a few minutes, Ali, who was next to Qiao Shan, suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Through the soul communication with Alice.
Ahri already knew everything that had just happened underwater.
The water surface was empty at this moment because she had received information from Alice in advance asking others to retreat.
Ahri already knew that underwater, Qiao Shan's elemental power, Wei Yang's elemental power, and Alice's elemental power were all useless against water bears.
At this moment, she wanted to use the power of her soul to sense it.
After all, the soul power she possesses is a very special kind of elemental power.
Ahri even wanted to compete with the tardigrade.
See who is strong and who is weak.
The life force that Alice possesses is still more towards logistics.
The charm possessed by the Sheep can mostly have a great effect on humans or highly intelligent creatures.
These two have no obvious effects on tardigrades.
Ahri knew all the effects of everyone using their elemental powers underwater just now.
Generally speaking, in the big crack filled with star power, the elemental power of the people does not have much effect.
At this moment, the tardigrade was bold enough to come out from the big crack.
And it was floating on the water. Ahri wanted to sense it carefully with her soul power.
Others don't work.
At this moment, he has left the special environment of the Big Rift, and his own soul power is already very special.
Ahri felt that her ability might be useful.
It is possible that the power of one's own soul will work.
As long as the tardigrade has intelligence, even as long as it has consciousness, as long as it has a little bit, a trace of soul power.
Ahri felt that she could sense it all.
The special soul power can even kill some water plants with self-awareness.
The tardigrade was obviously intelligent, so she thought she should have a chance to try it out.
"Okay, you try it."
Hearing Ali's request, Qiao Shan nodded.
The soul power possessed by Ahri is still very special.
As long as you have wisdom and soul, you can basically do anything with Ahri.
Just now when confronting the tardigrade underwater, Qiao Shan chose to retreat.
He had thought of luring the tardigrade up and letting Ahri use the power of his soul to attack it.
If the tardigrades don't come out, then you can just go home safely and think carefully about what to do next, and at the same time collect more information about tardigrades.
If the tardigrade follows, then you can let Ahri take action and give it a try.
Wow~
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, Ahri's eyes focused and she pointed with her little hand.
A purple-red soul power directly hit the water bear.
On the water surface, facing Ahri's purple-red soul power attack.
The tardigrade seemed to be indifferent and had no intention of avoiding it at all.
Continue to stay steady on the water...
In an instant, Ahri's red soul power enveloped the water bear that was only one meter in size.
A purple-red band appeared between Ahri and the tardigrade.
The two are linked together.
The water bear was wrapped in the power of soul, and the bighead carp under it seemed to be stunned as well.
But Qiao Shan knew that the bighead carp was not affected by the power of the soul at all.
When I saw the bighead carp, it was so well-behaved that it didn't move at all and just stayed on the water surface.
Qiao Shan felt something extremely strange.
What magical creatures these are!
However, although it was strange, he did not speculate too much.
Or influence what Ahri does!
He just stared at the tardigrades below.
Seeing the strange movements of the tardigrades without dodging or avoiding.
The doubts in his heart became even greater!
He watched silently as Ahri used the power of his soul to test everything about the tardigrade.
Qiao Shan watched Ahri quickly output her soul power while nodding to Alice beside her.
Seeing Ahri's reminder, Alice quickly pursed her lips, frowned, and began to release her power.
Qiao Shan knew that this was Ali reminding Alice to help.
The soul power of the two girls combined into one, making their attacking power even stronger.
.
"No, I can't get in!"
After a while, Qiao Shan saw Ahri's wings tremble several times, and at the same time he heard Ahri's quick response.
I saw Ahri trying her best and heard her report.
Qiao Shan was not too surprised.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
Qiao Shan nodded, wanting to hear what Ali had to say.
"There's something wrong with its skin. My soul power can't get through it. And its eight little legs seem to be able to cut through my soul power wrapping. Its skin is also very special. It can actually block the penetration of soul power."
Seeing Qiao Shan listening carefully, Ahri quickly reported her feelings after using the power of soul.
What kind of god is this?
Hearing Ali's feedback, Qiao Shan frowned.
Ahri's soul power couldn't even break the water bear's defense.
Tardigrades are not only immune to physical attacks and elemental forces, but they are also immune to Ahri's soul power attacks.
Moreover, its immunity has nothing to do with the so-called starlight power under the big rift.
The tardigrade's defenses did not weaken in the slightest after leaving the big rift.
"withdraw!"
After confirming that the tardigrades could be blocked even by Ahri's soul power, Qiao Shan planned to retreat.
There's no need to stay any longer.
If you do it again, you will only bring shame upon yourself!
Qiao Shan already understood the details of the situation .
I know that I have no way to deal with tardigrades at the moment.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
Following the instructions on the bridge, Alice, Ahri, and Wei Yang quickly flapped their wings and flew towards the birthplace platform.
Just like Qiao Shan’s surprise.
At this moment, the three of them were also very surprised.
“I’ll go!”
Just after Alice and the other two flew forward a few hundred meters, Qiao Shan suddenly discovered that the water bears on the water surface had followed them.
The bighead carp fanned its little tail and slowly moved with the tardigrade on its back.
The direction it was moving in was the direction that Qiao Shan and his group were moving in.
"What the hell? What are you trying to do?"
When Qiao Shan saw the state of the tardigrade, he was completely stunned.
What?
It’s not enough to come to the surface with me.
Do you want to follow me home?
"Call Qin Dalong over!"
After thinking for a while, Qiao Shan gave an order and summoned Qin Dalong over.
soon,
He then switched to Qin Dalong's two-headed flying dragon.
"Go away!"
Alice and the other two had their hands freed up without having to catch Qiao Shan, so Qiao Shan gave the order directly.
He wants to see.
If they separate and run away, which one will the tardigrade and the water bear chase?
Wow~
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, Wei Yang flapped its white wings and flew away.
The direction she was heading was the east bank of the Niah River, the Shurima Desert.
whoosh!
whoosh!
Alice and Ahri also flapped their wings quickly and flew directly towards the navy barracks.
Qiao Shan was not worried that Fatty would follow him to the navy barracks.
Because the navy barracks is in a shallow water area, where the water is only three or four meters deep.
Obviously, the bighead carp can't get into that place.
Although tardigrades can get in, their small bodies make it difficult for them to move.
Qiao Shan wasn't too worried.
Besides, his water barracks had encountered danger before, so he would not be afraid if it happened again.
The last time Hair rushed into the water barracks, he was prepared for the barracks to be destroyed.
If the tardigrades could break in this time and the water barracks were destroyed, he wouldn't feel much.
Because I had experienced this emotion last time.
As the three people flew away, Qiao Shan saw that the water bear's eyes moved after the three people flew away.
Unfortunately, he only moved his head.
The bighead carp under it did not move.
Nor did he chase after any of the three.
"Sure enough, follow me!"
Seeing the other three people flew away, the fathead fish did not move at all.
Qiao Shan understood that this was directed at him.
"With wisdom?"
Qiao Shan didn't know why the bighead carp followed him.
He didn't understand whether this was a coincidence or whether the tardigrades were intelligent and knew that they were the leader.
"Go! Make a big circle!"
Wanting to test how the bighead carp and tardigrade would follow him, Qiao Shan gave Qin Dalong the order to go around in a circle.
Wow~
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, the two-headed flying dragon under him, commanded by Qin Dalong, moved quickly.
"really!"
As the two-headed flying dragon moved, Qiao Shan saw the bighead fish on the water surface and it really followed.
He was sure that he was the target of the fathead fish.
"What do you want to do?"
After confirming that the bighead carp and tardigrade were targeting him, Qiao Shan wanted to confirm something next.
Why are they following me?
What do you want to do by following me?
"Let's go, fly to the shore!"
After strolling around in the deep water with the bighead carp and tardigrades for a while, Qiao Shan gave Qin Dalong new instructions.
Soon, the two-headed flying dragon flapped its huge wings and flew from the deep water to the shallow water.
Crash~
On the water surface, the bighead carp flapped its tail and continued to follow.
“It is indeed so!”
I saw the bighead carp rush out of the deep water area, cross the middle water area, and swim towards the shallow water area.
Qiao Shan confirmed once again that their target was him.
"continue!"
From the deep water area of ​​several hundred meters, it flew through the middle water area of ​​one or two hundred meters, and entered the shallow water area of ​​only tens of meters, or even more than ten meters, with only a few meters deep at the edge.
Seeing that the bighead carp was still following him, Qiao Shan focused his eyes and prepared to go ashore.
He just didn't believe that the bighead carp would dare to enter the shallow water.
Even dare to swim to the shore.
As long as the bighead carp dares to go deep into the diving area, it will be stranded immediately.
Qiao Shan was already prepared. As soon as the bighead carp ran aground, he would launch the giant net tower of the coastal defense.
Catch the bighead carp.
As for the other tardigrade, he would also simply freeze the entire shallow water area.
"snort!"
Dozens of seconds later, Qiao Shan landed on the shore and saw that the bighead carp finally stopped in the shallow water of only a dozen meters. It did not dare to go deeper, so Qiao Shan snorted softly.
At this moment, the position of the fathead fish has actually entered the range of the coastal defense tower.
Seeing that the tardigrade did not move, Qiao Shan, the tardigrade and the water bear on its body stared at each other for a long time.
However, in the end he did not order the defense tower on the shore to open fire.
Don't be in a hurry, take it easy.
Qiao Shan, who still didn't know why the bighead carp and the tardigrade chased him out, wanted to take another look.
"I still don't believe you can stay here forever!"
Ten minutes later, seeing that the bighead carp and the tardigrade were still staring at him, Qiao Shan muttered something silently.
He himself had too much information to collect and understand.
So he had no choice but to stay here and stare at the bighead carp, wasting time.
But he believed that the bighead carp and tardigrade would not keep wasting time on him like this.
That doesn't make sense.
There is no logic either.
It shouldn't.
.
Crash~
After more than ten minutes, Qiao Shan heard the sound of water rippling.
The bighead carp flapped its tail and began to turn.
Just as Qiao Shan guessed, it was impossible for the bighead carp and tardigrades to just sit there and waste time like this.
Qiao Shan saw that after the bighead carp turned around, the tardigrade behind it turned its head left and right, carefully examining the environment around Qiao Shan's body.
It seemed as if he wanted to memorize Qiao Shan's location.
Qiao Shan could clearly see the wisdom and thought in the water bear's eyes.
"Let them go!"
Seeing Qin Dalong's hesitant expression beside him, Qiao Shan made a suggestion in a serious tone.
He knew what Qin Dalong meant, which was whether to attack the tardigrades and the bighead carp.
don't want!
Although at this moment the defense tower on the shore can already attack the bighead carp and tardigrades that enter the shallow water area.
And because of the depth of the diving area, the bighead carp can only float on the water surface and cannot dive underwater.
Therefore, Qin Dalong's air force dragon-catching spearmen can also attack the bighead carp in the water from the air.
But Qiao Shan didn't want to do that.
He was full of doubts at the moment.
There is no desire to attack.
What's more.
He knew that his attack could not kill the tardigrades, or even break their defense.
Neither his own nor Wei Yang's attack power could cause any harm to the tardigrade.
He believed in defense towers and dragon lancers, no less.
He had just witnessed the ability of tardigrades to instantly recover from damage caused by bighead carp.
It would be unnecessary to attack the bighead carp and tardigrades in the diving area at this moment.
It's totally useless.
On the contrary, it is possible that it will make the tardigrades that seem to be exploring the way become irritable.
The tardigrades didn't fight back at all just now.
Qiao Shan was not sure, because all of the tardigrade's abilities had evolved into defense.
So there is no attack power.
Or maybe the tardigrade doesn't want to fight itself.
But no matter what the reason was, Qiao Shan felt that what he should do at this moment was not to fight.
But to learn more information.
If it were a tardigrade, it would have evolved all its abilities into defense and would have no attacking power at all, so he would be completely invulnerable.
A creature without any offensive power.
No matter how strong the defense is.
For him, that was it.
If it is the second reason, it is that the tardigrade does not want to fight with itself.
That's a lot to understand.
Qiao Shan thought that since the bighead carp and tardigrades had retreated at this moment.
You'd better not add unnecessary details.
He stood silently on the shore, watching the bighead carp carrying the tardigrades slowly swim into the deep water.
After that, he lurked directly in the deep water area...
.
"Hey! Lord."
A few minutes later, Qiao Shan, who was standing on the shore thinking, heard Ali's cheerful voice.
Ahri knew all the details of what happened underwater through communication with Alice.
But she did not actually participate in the battle.
Therefore, Ahri cannot understand the specific danger and tension.
When the bighead carp was small, she came over happily.
"Well, what did it feel like when you used your soul power just now?"
Looking back, he saw Alice had also landed beside him. Qiao Shan nodded to Ali and asked slowly.
Ahri's soul power attacks have always been effective.
This time, it was impossible to break through the tardigrade's defense.
Qiao Shan was still quite surprised.
He wanted to hear a more detailed description from Ali.
"Well, it feels like breaking through an iron ball. There is no feedback that a living body should have. It seems that thing is just an inorganic substance and has no soul at all..."
After thinking for a while, Ali told Qiao Shan about how she felt just now.
"Inorganic?"
Qiao Shan repeated doubtfully.
"Yes, inorganic matter." Ahri nodded. "As long as it is a living thing, my soul power can penetrate it. The water bear just now didn't even feel alive..."
Ahri explained quickly.
"The outer part of the tardigrade is dead? No blood or metabolism?"
While Ali was answering, Qiao Shan was also asking a question in return.
"Not really, it just feels like there's a thick layer of armor on the outside. For example, when I use my soul power to sense Wei Yang, there's an obvious biological energy shield around her body, which will affect the invasion of my soul power. But when I faced the tardigrade just now, I didn't feel any biological energy shield, but only a cold obstruction..."
Ahri didn't know how to explain it, so she started to use Weiyang as an example.
"Um…"
Ali's answer made Qiao Shan fall into deep thought.
It can be seen at present that the water bear's defense is indeed invincible.
It not only defends against physical attacks, but also against elemental force attacks and special soul force attacks.
Although the state of its defensive soul power is different from what Ahri has encountered before.
But no matter which method you use, if you can defend, you can defend .
There's not much to say about this.
"What did Alice say?"
After hearing Ali's answer, Qiao Shan wanted to hear Alice's opinion.
Unlike Ahri who only fought the tardigrade for a short while, Alice just went down to the bottom of the crater with him.
I had a good "battle" with tardigrades.
"I feel like it looks down on us..."
Hearing Qiao Shan's question, Alice next to him slowly uttered a word.
"Um?"
Alice's answer made Qiao Shan frown.
"It ignored all our attacks. I don't believe it has no attack power. I also don't believe our attacks didn't cause any damage to it. I think either it is really indifferent to our attacks, or it has other wishes!"
Alice, who has weaker combat ability but unrivaled logistical ability, quickly tells Qiao Shan her views.
Just now, Alice was standing at the back, mostly controlling plants to fight.
She had the most time to observe and analyze the battlefield.
At the same time, judge the state and attitude of the tardigrade...
