"Bug, come here and hand me that thing."

A black worker worm looked at the gardener Long, received the translated instructions from her, and followed the execution. A pair of slender feet picked up a shiny stone from the ground, raised it over his head, and placed it on the table in front of Zhao's father.

Since the afternoon project, Zworm has maintained extremely high work efficiency. By dusk, the old mine road had been cleaned up, and the rest of the work was sorting. Zhao Mai pinched a stone table for his father, equipped with chairs, eternal lights and other tools to give him a place to check the miscellaneous things. For the rest of the time, Zhao Mai sat by his father, watching him concentrate on his work without saying a word.

The reading glasses were hanging loosely on the bridge of the nose, shaking but they would not fall off; a pair of gloves that would always carry with them, even if they forgot to bring the key, their wallet and mobile phone had never forgotten it; a magnifying glass, although not very useful in the work in front of them, would allow Zhao Mai's father to enter the work state as long as it was within sight. He did not care about his son's gaze at all, and the movements on his hands were quick and accurate, and he could see at a glance what everything was doing before.

Most of the equipment in the mine was turned into pieces during earthquakes, landslides and burials. The five missing people found four of them in the stone ball, but the stone ball was far deeper below the mine, and there was no passage in the middle, which was already very strange. But the even stranger was the fifth missing person. The entire mine was dug all over, but his wreckage could not be found.

How can the stone ball come from? How does the last person end up affect Zhao's mood more, and the current result obviously makes him unable to satisfy him. "Continue to dig down until you take out the position of the stone ball. Can your bugs complete such a job?"

"Of course, but after digging there, no matter what we find, we will leave." Zhao Mai said.

"Well... strange." My father did not agree to Zhao Mai's words, but said: "Do you remember the crystal you took from the cabinet? I remember when I went down the mine, I saw more than that, it should be at least dozens of kilograms. I just picked a very small piece of it that happened to be in my pocket. That kind of thing won't disappear, it's just crushing the fragments? Your bug..."

"They won't miss anything. The original mines have been cleaned up, and there are terrain tomography on the car, and possible cracks have been searched. Now they are digging in the direction of the stone ball, and there are no crystals along the way."

Dad Zhao shook his head slightly and fell into deep thought. He wanted to go down the well, but Zhao Mai firmly stopped him. "I can provide as many stone samples as I want. Let the people from relevant ministries and commissions strengthen the place. If they go down, you can just look at the report. If you don't agree, I would rather destroy the place completely and cut off your thoughts."

"Are you a firecracker to destroy this and that?" Although Zhao Mai was slapped in the head, he felt it was worth it.

As the excavation continued to deepen, some strange things were sent up by Z-worms. First of all, some thin and long bones, which should be human bones in terms of composition, but who can have three-meter-long calf bones? Z-worms cleared out about sixty bones in various parts along the way, all of which were longitudinally elongated. Zhao Mai made a puzzle in the mine open space, roughly making a super-long human skeleton with a height of fifteen meters but still less than one meter wide on the shoulders.

"Look at the old scar on his ulnar bone, it must have been caused by a fracture. The wound was also lengthened." Analysis of Shi Tou Father is a master, and analysis of biological remains is Zhao Mai's world. "There is a callus that is two fingers wide. If there were such a big crack at the time, his arms would have been in two pieces. The only explanation for this phenomenon is that the power of space is working, pulling his body long like pulling ramen."

Dad Zhao shook his head and said helplessly: "The current situation is no longer explained by my knowledge, so let's listen to what you say first."

"Actually, there is nothing to say. This is the fifth missing person." Zhao Mai said: "The five people are ordinary miners, and their range of activities can only be mines. The stone ball is deeper underground. It must use some method to suck people into the interior, and space transmission is the best. Five people, sucked in four, and lost one on the road, which is the bone we saw. All of his things were lengthened longitudinally, and that's how it came about."

"It sounds impeccable at the moment, but where has the crystal gone?" Zhao Dad was still worried about this. Zhao Mai was also helpless about this. His father who entered this state would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find the answer. He would always think, think about it, and don't want to do anything else. His meditation of entering a daze state (if it was not for the immortal constitution, he would die) was inherited from here.

The z-worm dig deeper and deeper, gradually digging out more strange things. Various bone fragments quickly piled up the table. It was too long and the damage was too serious, so Zhao Mai could not classify and repair it. It seemed that Nai Kuos in the stone ball still needed to eat to supplement itself, and at this time it used some spatial ability to suck the target in, but this ability was not always successful.

However, this kind of eating action is obviously very important to it, even higher than its main purpose of hiding itself. In this way, "eating" should be at a very high position in the demand ranking of Nai Kuos. From the plasticine inside the stone shell to the incredible existence with a size greater than the galaxy, Nai Kuos is "eating".

Zhao Mai eats to supplement the body's material and energy consumption. But think about it carefully, Nai Kuos has always been in a low-energy state, and all the free energy around it is gathering towards it and swallowing it. Why do you still eat? Moreover, it eats all living things, and does not eat soil or rocks and other things that are full of stuff. At this point, Zhao Mai's Z worms are completely different from Nai Kuos. Z worms do not need to swallow other organisms into their stomachs. They only need a basic material environment, and then they can reproduce on their own and build a suitable ecological environment. If Z worms are the builders, Nai Kuos is the destroyer.

'But in this way, wouldn't Naigus prey on zworms?' Zhao Mai looked at the corpse and thought, 'It's not right. Naigus eats all kinds of creatures, not just zworms....non-organisms...can't Naigus eat the soul or vitality? I remember that in Graleon, Naigus's temple also tried to kidnap mangrove druid Wadsworth! Did he have a crush on his ability to split the soul?'

The answer to this question is now unknown, but another answer has surfaced. As the excavation is approaching, the Zworm finally found the remains of the crystal. The number of excavations is quite amazing, with a total of seven tons. Together with the crystal, there are also a large number of pieces similar to eggshells, in various colors, almost filling the entire color spectrum. Zhao Mai picked up a piece, looked at the texture, and then took a bite on it with an incredible expression, clenched it and ate it.
