Chapter 440: Chapter 116 – Trap!_1
Link had been observing all along.
Since the moment he arrived at the rear camp.
He observed people, their demeanor, how they think, and how they work.
He observed objects, what high-end items he had heard of but never seen, and what unknown items he hadn’t even heard of.
Since he began the mission, Link had been watching Sandra’s decisions and commands attentively.
He noticed that Sandra had a mystifying confidence.
She believed that the mini legion she leads, with only 12 people, with the highest being a Senior Second-Level Wizard and four First Level Wizards “dragging their feet”, can flatten this Insect World, a world with an upper limit of Level 3 Extraordinary Life.
The civilizations of all heavens and realms are divided into four levels:
Low Civilization World, with a limit of Level 3 Extraordinary Life;
Medium Civilization World, with a limit of Level 6 Extraordinary Life;
High Civilization World, with a limit of Level 9 Extraordinary Life;
Super Civilization World, without any limit.
But in the standards of the Wizard World, there are slight differences.
That is, the distinction between Fairy Worlds with a limit of Level 5 Extraordinary Life and the Treant World with a limit of Level 5 Sage in Medium Civilization Worlds.
If Level 5 Sage in the Wizard World is also Level 5 Extraordinary Life in all heavens and realms, why do they seem so special?
Because Level 5 Extraordinary Life has only undergone two Life Essence Transitions.
While a Level 5 sage, in addition to the two Life Essence Transitions, has also perceived rules and resonated with the World Spirit.
The difference between them is the difference between “Way” and “Technique”.
But in Low Civilization Worlds, there is little difference between Level 1 to 3 Extraordinary Life and Tier 1 to 3 wizards.
Sandra is merely a Senior Second-Level Wizard. Regardless of how powerful her background, how abundant her wealth or how plentiful her Magic Tools are, to bulldoze a Level 3 insect world with only 11 people is not a feat that can be accomplished with superficial strength alone.
Even if the Insect Race has declined, their ancestors were once wide-ranging.
In the Low Civilization World, this world’s Insect Race can be considered a dominant force.
They still have some power, and aren’t a weak race that can be easily suppressed.
The Insect Race relies on quantity. They could easily overrun this miniature Wizard army.
So, Link was sure that Sandra must have some other form of reliance.
When he thought about it, it seemed pretty normal.
Wouldn’t the great-granddaughters of two Great Sages who are venturing outside for adventure and experience have one or a couple of guardians behind them?
Perhaps, every move of the mini legion is being remotely monitored by those bigwigs who care about Sandra.
No matter which possibility it is, Link firmly believes that there will be no real danger on this trip.
At most, they need to ensure personal protection and be ready for possible emergency tests.
“Rest.”
Sandra ordered in the “spiritual link”.
No matter how robust a wizard’s physical strength is or how firm their willpower is, they can’t withstand a long period of high-speed travel.
A balance between work and rest, appropriate rest to recover physical strength, is actually conducive to reaching the destination quickly.
After several rounds of travel, research, and transfers, the mini legion has developed a certain level of tacit understanding.
The seven children of the major families in the academy headquarters naturally took on the task of vigilance.
Link and Tiffany’s research groups, using the rest time proactively, worked overtime to analyze the data from the previous two experiments.
This data all comes from the previous two reconnaissance locations.
This mission has three original targets and three additional targets.
The Supreme Council that issued the mission specified two mandatory reconnaissance locations.
There must be a certain connection between the three original targets and the two reconnaissance locations.
The answers to the three original targets of investigating the ecological structure, abnormal changes, and the cause of the changes are all in the data held by Link and Tiffany.
If they lack anything, they can search for it elsewhere as a supplement.
Link took out his smart brain and started writing the report.
The main content is the assertion that no obvious changes have occurred in the ecological structure of the Insect Race through the detection and testing results of various samples such as soil, water, air, and humus, which is consistent with the routine monitoring results of institutions under the Supreme Council;
Afterward, starting from various details and arguments, he hypothesized the idea that one or several exogenous factors have influenced the Insect Race, promoting individual evolution;
Finally, based on the findings of the dissection, the results of the physical examination, and the test results of the dead insect eggs, he inferred that the unknown exogenous factor in his hypothesis is a kind of “light radiation”.
Yes, Link had initially found the truth about the abnormal changes and the causes of the mutations in the Insect Race.
He didn’t even activate the “Multi-Threading Thinking” state.
The moment he set foot in this Tier 3 Insect World, both Franda and the “Small World” gave Link a prompt.
The “Small World’s” prompt was a vague palpitation.
Franda, on the other hand, kept exclaiming, “Master, master, the light here is so strange. The ‘Small World’ has a contradictory feeling of wanting to eat but not daring to eat.”
With this clue, Link began to seriously perceive the “strange” light that Franda mentioned.
After sensing it, Link found that there was an extremely subtle special “radiation” in the light.
This radiation was very weak and had been isolated by the protective biochemical suit, so no one else had noticed it.
After that, Link was always trying to observe the effects of this radiation while on the move.
It was only after dissecting four Insect Race corpses and examining the dead insect eggs near the breeding pools, that Link finally identified the purpose of this radiation:
