Maria shook her head, her tone a little sighing.

But Helatia was not happy about this.

Instead, she looked at the other person warily.

"Maria?"

She called carefully.

And Maria also knew what the other party was worried about.

After a few moments of silence, she turned around so that everyone present could see her back.

"I'm not being controlled..."

"That's it..."

After seeing the results, Helatia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But she didn't have time to say anything.

In the distance, the big blue tree began to tremble slightly.

On the surrounding walls, in a place no one noticed, blue light gradually lit up, and creatures that they had never seen or heard of began to wake up, growling and crawling!

"This is?!"

When Helatia saw this scene, her expression suddenly changed.

She suddenly realized what Maria had just said.

"You shouldn't be here."

Maria said, her brows slightly lowered.

After hunting those monsters, Maria originally thought about directly retrieving the main force.

But after thinking about it for a while, she gave up the idea.

It’s not that she thinks it’s not possible, but she simply feels that it’s not appropriate now.

This is a rare opportunity, and she wants to touch this so-called pre-civilization tree.

After all, from the first time they met, Maria could always feel that the other party was helping her.

So Maria also cares about this giant tree.

After coming here and officially coming into contact with the other party, Maria also discovered that this thing actually has no ability to think for itself.

Or rather, so far, it has no ability to think.

Maria found it difficult to describe what it was made of.

It acts according to a set of predetermined logic, but it is a living being, not a machine.

It is somewhat similar to Hai Si's concentrated thinking brain, but this brain is set in advance.

And its creator only gave it one command.

"Live..."

Then it keeps executing this command.

Even though the world has changed dramatically, even though the civilization that created it has been destroyed and its successors are few and far between, it still lives.

Always and always, executing this command...

Until it sent out results many times without receiving any instructions, it chose to sleep.

Contrary to what Maria thought, it was not so much that the Agor people activated the machine, but rather that it was Maria's arrival that awakened this existence that had been sleeping for who knows how many years.

It sensed the human breath, reactivated itself, and began to carry out orders.

The previous release of Hai Si was just to find Maria.

In essence, it has no malicious intent to attack people.

Even if it transformed into a creature and attacked other Agor people, it was only in its cognition that these people were not considered human...

They are like beasts and food such as fish and seaweed.

It is an existence that can be preyed on at will.

If they were just outside, it might not have much of a reaction.

But when these people entered this area, they were decisively identified as invaders.

And the invaders...

It should be eliminated!

"Gu——!"

The invisible message instantly spread throughout the entire underground cave, and all the sea creatures rushed out!

Maria also sighed slightly.

She actually had some things she wanted to know from the other party, but it was obvious that if she didn't help now, these Agor people would die here.

"You don't have much time... run."

Maria said as she began to lead the way.

"this?!"

Everyone was stunned, but then, looking at the densely packed monsters, they also became panicked.

"retreat!"

Following Helatia's command, everyone began to run back in a hurry.

But fortunately, Maria had already investigated the surrounding environment when she came, and in just a few steps, she led everyone to find a safe area.

Everyone hid inside, and this time, Maria did not choose to stand at the door alone, but followed the crowd into the room.

Outside the door, Hai Si was moving back and forth quickly.

After everyone took a breath, the look in their eyes when they looked at Maria became increasingly strange.

If her previous high martial arts prowess was just an unexpected skill, then the knowledge Maria displayed at this moment far exceeded their cognition.

They realized that Maria was hiding many secrets, but no one dared to ask.

They just hid in the room and remained silent.

Maria put Helatia, who had a complicated expression on her face, aside, then turned slightly to observe the movement of the sea creatures outside for a while and exhaled.

"Are we going to be trapped here?"

Helatia asked.

But Maria shook her head.

She glanced at all the members present, and finally stopped at Maritus for a moment before shaking her head slightly.

"No...it's just that if you want to evacuate, you'll probably have to wait for a while."

"That's it..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Maria's assurance.

Maybe they don't even realize it.

Now they have also become convinced of Mary's words.

After making sure it was safe, everyone found a place to rest for a while.

Only Helatia was there. She silently held Maria and whispered.

"Maritus...what are you going to do?"

403

Chapter 403 No one survives!

The ocean is quiet at night...

Because Maria said they had to wait one night before leaving, and everyone didn't understand why, they could only follow Maria's idea.

When the time for rest really came, most scholars fell into a deep sleep.

Only one person seemed particularly uneasy.

It's Maritus.

He curled up in the corner, like a baby longing for a hug, curling himself into a ball as much as possible.

But even so, he still couldn't feel any warmth.

A chill ran down his body, eroding his sanity.

In a trance, he saw a series of terrifying scenes.

The collapsed city, the wailing crowd, the raging fire falling from the sky, the damaged silver buildings, and the people around who could have been trusted were twisted into hateful monsters!

They screamed and emitted their strong, indiscriminate malice towards everyone!

Blood, flesh, and internal organs were smeared all over the ground.

Maritus found that he seemed to have become one of them.

That should be an area in the sky, where something called clouds was rolling and collapsing towards the ground.

An invisible giant hand pinched it!

Then...

Snapped……

He was crushed.

"Woo!"

With his eyes suddenly wide open, Maritus woke up.

He gasped, his pupils trembling.

The fear emanating from his flesh and blood made him feel very bad.

He even couldn't breathe!

He turned around suddenly like a cat whose nerves were touched, and then stopped moving.

He looked at the people around him.

But he found that no one seemed to have nightmares except him.

At most, everyone frowned and felt uncomfortable because the rest environment was too bad.

He was the only one who was tortured to death by this nightmare.

"What's going on……"

He stretched out his hand and supported his forehead.

But just when he was confused, a faint call echoed in his ears.

"Who?"

Maritus lowered his voice and stared at his surroundings with trembling eyes.

But the sound did not disappear when he came to his senses. Instead, it became clearer as time passed.

Finally, Maritus understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"This way..."

"This way..."

Confused, Maritus stood up.

He looked towards the door hesitantly.

He could feel that the sound came from the door.

As a scholar, his strong desire for knowledge and fear of the unknown began to torture his brain.
