'Guru ...'
A small cloud floated in the air.
This is a place that is still bright despite being located deep underground, and the most obvious view here is ... clouds.
Clouds of various shapes float in this cave space. Some clouds grow like coral-like creatures. They exude soft light. Although not very bright, they are enough to illuminate this area.
The presence of the cloud sea makes the ground in the cave wet, some creatures like fish, but with thick fins, slowly move forward in this humid environment.
There are many small white creatures on the back of these half fishes-ancient squid. They look like a symbiosis, but they still don't see any cooperative relationship ...
Half-fish are now gathering in large numbers, carrying some objects like stones, they put these objects in a place, and then went back to continue to carry.
These stones are piled up in large quantities, just like a hill. They pile up stones here until they can no longer be piled up, and then they continue to pile up in another place.
When they are hungry, they pinch a small piece from the surrounding sea of clouds to eat, but it seems that many half fish are in a state of 'nourishment', they are relatively thin, and some are in the process of handling collapsed.
These creatures lived like this for several days and nights ...
During this period, they piled up several 'hills', which seemed to be finally piled up. After that, they did not continue to pile up, but all gathered around the hill, all looked up at what they looked like. .
The ancient squid on them has always been with them.
I saw some creatures appearing on the piled stone hills. These creatures have transparent bodies and float in mid-air. They are atmospheric creatures, much like atmospheric slimes.
These atmospheric creatures flew around the accumulated stone mountain, and then flew in front of the half fish standing under the mountain.
Half of the fish standing in the front face was moving, as if to say something, but Lin could not hear the sound.
The ancient squid on the back of the half fish is also constantly changing color, they are all expressing some kind of information.
After this communication lasted for a while, the atmospheric creature suddenly moved. It ejected a large amount of gas like dense fog. After contacting the half fish and ancient squid in front of it, it immediately fell to the ground.
At this moment, it seemed that the creatures of the whole place exploded, all the half-fishes rushed up with their mouths open, and the atmospheric creatures also fought at the same time.
When the whole scene became uncontrollable, the picture that Lin saw suddenly changed, and then became dark ...
It seems that it escaped, but it's almost the same as seeing here ...
In fact, all the scenes just now were seen by Lin from the memory of a beetle.
This beetle is called a scarab beetle, although it is completely inconsistent with the scarab originally described in the vocabulary.
This is a carnivorous beetle. They cut meat with two pairs of jaws that can vibrate at high speed. They can also dig rocks and sand. But the most interesting thing about them is the ability to turn into a statue.
They store some of the ingredients eaten in the rock, and then undergo some conversion in the body to form a golden shell on the body surface.
In this state, they can allow themselves to live with little loss, which is a state similar to sleep, that is to say, the group of beetles that the spy saw before is actually a group of relatively 'old' creatures In short, when the creatures are full here, they are still alive.
Although they completely block themselves, they also have the ability to wake up quickly. When the spy approaches, they have already awakened due to the shock caused by the spy and tried to attack the spy.
However, the spy can secrete some substances to make the attacking beetle fall into a paralyzed state. At the same time, the spy kills some bugs attached to the body, puts miniature arms into them, and slowly decomposes them to supplement the spy as nutrients.
On the way to decompose them, Lin discovered the ability of this beetle. They have a special place to store memory, and unlike ordinary insects, they can record things for a long time.
Lynn put a beetle into a dream, and let its memory appear. They have good eyesight, so they can show a very clear scene.
But because there seems to be no hearing, there is no sound in memory ...
Many of the beetle's memories are that it is drilling in darker and narrower places, and some of them are tearing a lot of meat, but Lynn still found the memory of a beetle. This beetle likes to stay still. , So it can perfectly see the surrounding scene changes ...
In her memory, Lin can see the previous scene of this place. There were quite a lot of half fish and ancient squid. In addition to these creatures, there are some creatures like marine creatures, such as corals. .
Unlike Lin's idea, there is no water here, but there are quite a lot of clouds. They rely on the moisture generated by the clouds. As long as the gills are kept moist for a long time, the ancient squid can indeed live on land.
However, the state of their life here is not very good, mainly because of the lack of food. They only eat a small amount of Yunhai. In fact, the Yunhai can not eat more. Most of the microorganisms in it are toxic. Perhaps half of the fish can not bear a lot of toxins, They cannot but eat it.
Their main job seems to be to move the stones, not for themselves, but for the strange atmospheric creatures.
The atmospheric creatures are like slimes, I don't know if they have anything to do with the creator.
The stones carried by the half fish should be the materials used to make those golden statues. They also show this on the paintings, but no golden statues were seen in the beetle's memory.
Strangely, it seems that these slimes let them manufacture, and have nothing to do with the "creator".
When these half-fishes were finally filled with stones, it seemed that there was some kind of dispute with Slime. Slime first attacked, and then the half-fishes also rushed up.
When they started fighting, the beetle turned around and fled into a dark place, causing it to fail to remember what happened later.
Later, Lin saw a lot of beetle memories, but they are basically hiding in the dark, and they can't see anything about the battle ...
Perhaps, everything here has nothing to do with the "creator", but they stumbled upon the golden statue here, want to use the stuff here?
Or perhaps, those slimes are the "subordinates" of the creator.
However, Lin also found some other interesting things in the beetle's memory ...
