"Everyone, before officially setting off, I think there are some things that I need to tell you."

Xiuer glanced at the forest spirit who woke him up in the morning. The deer was chewing a few leaves that he had found from some unknown places, looking like he had nothing to do with him.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you these things last night, but I ignored your feelings and did not communicate with you in time. As the captain, this is my mistake. I apologize to you here. Fortunately, someone reminded me that I did not go further and further on the wrong path."

"It's breakfast time now, you eat, listen, I'll say."

Now is the second day of entering the Frogman ruins, and it is also the day to start formally exploring the ruins.

Everyone was not sleeping well last night. Before going to bed, they suddenly discovered an abnormal situation. The captain did not make a reasonable explanation. Everyone's heart was actually hanging, just pretending to be calm. Of course, it is impossible to rest in this state.

However, the team members were not dissatisfied with this. Everyone knew very well. It is understandable that leading a team to project deep into another world. The captain was under great psychological pressure and used the best choice when encountering problems, so he ignored everyone's feelings. This is understandable.

Therefore, everyone is mentally prepared and continues to spend today in doubt until Shuer figures out everything and is sure to solve the problem. Let me explain the details to you.

No one expected that as soon as he got up, he saw the steaming breakfast as soon as he got out of the dormitory. The necromancer sitting beside him with a blank look on his face, the forest spirit eating grass, and of course, there was also the Shuer who was writing on paper every minute.

"Boss, are you okay? You are a pastor. If you fall ill first, everyone will be in trouble." The half-ling wanted to go forward and touch Shuer's forehead, but looking at the mace on his waist, he still gave up this idea.

"Idiot halfling, it has nothing to do with being sick. The captain must be too stressed and mentally collapsed... Hey, captain, don't take my plate away, my breakfast..."

"You know what you are interested." The cold elf mage snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Hehe, it's great." The shy female swordsman was the happiest one. She was the one who was most worried last night. Of course, she was not worried about the possible dangers, but was concerned about the person she cared about the most. Seeing that Shure had recovered from his calmness, Saf smiled sweetly and handed a grateful look at Ms. Lin Jing. However, what she had returned was Moria's confused and innocent expression, which was stuffed with leaves, and was filled with her mouth.

"Although I pretended to be relaxed last night, everyone should have seen that we are in a very troublesome state now because we were accidentally involved in a war, a war that has lasted for decades and has been unilaterally terminated."

"It doesn't matter whether this building is a civilian facility, military, or other strange uses now, because in the last days, it only had one purpose, which is the fortress of these frogmen fighting against plants in the outside world."

"I don't know how large the world is occupied by those weird plants, but it's obvious that the projection world we are in now must be controlled by those plants, and this ruin is the only territory within their sphere of influence, perhaps not under control."

"According to the rules of the projection world, of course, the people in the ruins have died, but those plants probably don't know this. Over the years, they have been trying to attack the ruins, but none of them have succeeded."

"But now, they succeeded, and those few mushrooms proved that they successfully attacked the last rebel's position."

"You mean, they are wise?" Militi frowned. Attacking foreign enemies with hostility may not necessarily mean they are wise, or they can be driven by instinct. But if an organized war can be carried out, it can only mean that they have a certain basic intelligence. If that is true, these plants should be classified from the field of botany that Moria is good at to the field of life science that Militi is good at.

"I don't know how high it is, but they have certain wisdom." Shul paused and said in a low voice, "because they know how to find a way to come in with us."

"Hmm?" several people exclaimed in surprise at the same time. Militi couldn't wait to ask, "I can think of them coming in with us, but can you explain what you mean by thinking about a solution?"

"This is just my guess. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I would rather think more than encounter unnecessary trouble because of poor consideration."

"During the time of catching up, you won't think too much, no matter how complicated you think, you're afraid of thinking too little." Mia said gloomyly, "Just just say it."

"Yesterday, they didn't want to kill us, to be precise, they didn't want to kill us immediately. They were actually just putting pressure on us to break into here."

"We all ignored a problem yesterday. They turned this area into a dead land and killed all creatures. That should have rich experience in how to kill animals and humans. Indeed, our physique may be very different from the creatures here, but there is no difference in nature. They are all physical creatures. The way to kill local creatures should also be applicable to us, and at least it can make us feel uncomfortable."

"But, we don't have this discomfort, which means they did nothing."

"Captain, that's because you have taken timely response measures. Your breathing and contact have been cut off. Even if they want to use any means, there is no way." The dwarf's unique rough voice was particularly loud.

"I forgot how you felt when you almost cut off your head?" Shuer glared at Mobak, "At that time, everyone was affected, which means that they at least have a way to directly affect our emotions and expand negative emotions. If they really want to kill us on the spot, they will definitely not have to delay that long before using it. I'm afraid they will use it only to put pressure on us."

"Hey, Shul, I don't understand two problems." The beautiful Lin Jing held up a few butter-slapped leaves, and it was hard to imagine how to eat them. "First, how do they know we will come here? This is our own choice. It should be a complete coincidence to find this ruin."

"They don't know, nor do they need to know." Shure sighed. "I don't think they even know that we are not the same kind of frogmen and have no connection with each other."

"You mean, in their eyes, we are in the same group as those frogs?" The sharp voice of the halfling made him speak normally and sounded like screaming, "So they think we always have to come back here?"

"I think so. Our performance also affirmed their judgment. The fact is that we did come in."

"Okay, this question can be explained like this, but there is a second question." Lin Jingyouyou said, "Can they really have such complex thinking?"

"Unsure." Shur shook his head, "Militi, you have to judge this."

"In life science, the complexity of thinking is determined by the soul and the brain. Without the support of higher souls, no matter how developed the brain is, it is impossible to think too complexly. At most, just like those smarter monsters. Similarly, without a developed brain, higher souls will lose a lot of abilities, such as memory loss, confusion in thinking, loss of logical analysis ability, etc. By the way, the above content should be excluded, and the undead is another system."

"So what? I want to hear the conclusion." Shur knocked on the table.

"This is the conclusion." Militi shook her hair charmingly and said dissatisfiedly, "They don't have a developed brain and cannot have complex souls. In theory, they cannot carry out such complex thinking activities. I think you think too humane. They are still a group of plants."

"Hey? Then so do I..."

"Eat grass by your side, don't mess up, you tree." The attitude towards Moria, Militi and Mia were surprisingly consistent, well, consistent and subtle.

"No, no, no, no, it's wrong, Shuer, Shuer." The girl who blushed and tried to defend Shuer must be the girl Suff.

No one teased her, and no one laughed at her. Instead, everyone looked at her solemnly.

Everyone knows each other's personalities very well, and knows that this archivist in the big library has always been respected by many people as the writer and inheritor of knowledge. The knowledge in their minds is absolutely rich, and what they say must be based on. They will never talk nonsense to protect someone.

really.

"I once read a book, written by Carol." Savre looked straight at Militi, and even forgot about being shy.

Militi's face suddenly became ugly, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead: "Master Carol... Could it be that clustered life really exists?"

"Explanation." Shuer knocked on the table again. He searched his memory carefully and confirmed that he had never seen this name. It seemed that the book was not within his reading range.

"Carol was a master of life science seven hundred years ago, focusing on insect research." Militi said with a gloomy expression, "She proposed a hypothesis, which is cluster life."

"She found that insects' brains are small and even negligible, and their souls are weak and pitiful, but some insects that live in groups often show a reaction that is far beyond their mindset."

"So she proposed the hypothesis of clustered life. The core content is that these insect groups connect each other's brains and souls in some unknown way to think together. Only in this way can they explain their abnormalities."

"She even believes that if the whole world..., for example, ants, and ants from all over the world gather together, they can show a thinking ability that is far higher than that of humans, even if their souls are still low, their brains will be pitiful."

"Even she doesn't like this hypothesis, and there is no argument to support it. At most, it can only be considered a fantasy." Militi shook her head in surprise, "Is there really such a life in a certain world?"

"It seems that this second question is possible to explain it." Shur sighed at Moria, "so I think they are very clever to force us to 'return' here and come in with us. I'm even worried that they are spying on us at any time now."
