4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
775 Golden Army
The glory of the flame is beating,
The flames illuminated the place covered by sand and dust, and the golden armor reflected the dazzling light. A pure golden scorpion-shaped object stood in front of the spy.
This scorpion is six meters long, with a serrated forelimb, and a thick tail hook on the curved tail. On both sides of the scorpion, two torches are standing on the ground, and the fire they emit makes the golden scorpion shell blink. .
It's almost identical to the scorpion that Lin had seen before, the only difference is ... it won't move.
The scorpion stood on a stone platform, and it was in a posture ready for battle, like a statue.
If you examine it, you will find that the structure of the scorpion body is the same as before, but it does not have the atmospheric creature, that is, there is no controller, and it will not act.
However, if there is such a creature, it may be able to move it at any time.
Moreover, there is more than this scorpion here.
If you look to the right of the scorpion, you can see another scorpion that is the same except for the different poses ...
On the right side of this scorpion, there is another scorpion with different postures. They are arranged in this way. It is estimated that there are hundreds of scorpions all the way to the depths of the cave.
Moreover, there is more than one such arrangement.
At the moment when the cave lit up, Lin had already seen it. Actually ... the whole space here is filled with these things. There are ten rows in total, and there are sand-lined aisles between the rows and the rows. , And the sides are lined with golden 'statues' in various poses.
Around these statues, there is a torch, which makes the area brighter.
They look like a huge army, lined up here to prepare for battle.
Although only a few were checked, Lin felt that they should not be able to move. They have been here for a long time.
The torch standing next to it was recently plugged in. This is obviously done by the 'creator'. There is some kind of trigger device in the torch that will automatically ignite under certain circumstances.
And there should be more than one "creator", because there are probably hundreds of torches, and their burning even makes Lin feel that oxygen is quickly dissipating.
However, it should still be able to maintain for a while. There is quite a lot of oxygen here, although it does not matter if it is not.
The spy is now walking in the aisle between the golden statues. Most of the scorpion-shaped golden objects are near the wall. However, if you go down the aisle, you can see some statues that are not scorpion-shaped.
Because it is still not certain what these things should be called, so for the time being, call them statues.
Now, the spy looks at a moth-shaped statue in front of him. It has golden wings, and the huge compound eyes on his face seem to be looking at the spy.
This moth is really very real, even the fluff on its face is made, although it feels that it will hinder movement ...
It has wings, but Lin estimates that it can't fly, because the wings and other parts of the body are made of the same heavy material. This thing may not be used for combat. There are probably special uses. Its wings have There are a lot of fine holes, and there are many pipes inside. It can probably learn to spray poison powder like a real moth.
But the next statue should be used for combat.
Next, the spy saw a large statue, more than seven meters long, with a pair of golden jaws in front. This statue was made according to a worm-like creature called stag beetle.
It seems that the "creator" quite likes to make these things according to insect-type creatures, but they live in the air, and there should not be many opportunities to see these creatures. Why don't they make statues based on atmospheric creatures or other creatures?
If you continue to look down, Lin can see more arthropod statues.
Like mantises and cockroaches, there are many, but the scorpion type is the most. These statues are all made of the same material and have the same control method. They need the atmospheric creatures to start.
But no creatures have been seen here, and these things are quite old ...
No, wait, this one is new.
After walking past a statue of a cockroach, Lin saw a golden ... white skeleton dragon statue.
The statue is more than three meters tall and poses in a weird posture with both hands holding the head. Like the previous one, it is also pure gold.
And its shell is not as dusty or cracked as any other. This white-skeleton dragon statue is quite new, and its reflected light is several times brighter than the surrounding statues.
This is definitely worth the shell, for the white skeleton dragon.
The spy checked the internal structure of this thing a little bit, and found that it was not new except for the other statues, and there were no atmospheric creatures in it. It was also immobile.
This statue does not know what it is used for, it should not be used for combat. In fact, the form of the skeletal dragon is very unsuitable for combat, and it is easy to fall, because standing up almost exposes all the weaknesses.
There may be special uses.
However, since this white-skeleton dragon statue is new, the statue-making device may be found nearby?
But why is this new statue placed in the middle of a pile of old ones?No matter how much, first find out if there is any installation.
Thinking, the spy climbed over the head of the white skeleton dragon and looked around the cave.
All you can see here is the neatly arranged arthropod statues, and the torches here can not illuminate the whole place. There is no torches in the deeper part of the cave, where it is completely dark, and the statues are arranged until the darkness Deep inside ...
'Creator' is in this dark depth.
From just now to now, it has moved a little, and it is now about a hundred meters away from the spy.
It may be making these statues?It probably has that kind of device over there.
And it should be noticed when it suddenly lights up here, but why doesn't it escape?
In short, let's go over and take a look.
The spy jumped from the statue and walked towards the creator.
But after two steps, the spy stopped again and turned to look at the side of the aisle ... I saw a sharp object protruding from the gravel full of aisles.
What is this?
The spy reached out and grabbed the protrusion, then pulled hard ...
'Boom!'
The previous voice rang again.
