It was as if … something had happened in a distant place. It was as if something had happened on the pompom, and it was connected to some other places, such as … the moon.
However, Lin believed that the creatures there should be able to solve those problems.
Lin was in the process of exploring the stars. She had been exploring the fifth and fourth spheres for a while now, but she had not found anything in those two worlds.
Although the fourth sphere had a normal temperature and water, she did not find any creatures …
Then, what was on the third sphere? Based on its position, the third sphere was in a very suitable position. Moreover, its rotational speed and circling speed were close to the pompom, but it was slightly smaller in size.
Now, the pompom landed on the third sphere with a rumbling sound.
Although this place seemed to be in a better position, the temperature was not as stable as the fourth sphere because the air here was much thinner.
In a situation where the air resistance was weaker, the sun's light burned the ground, causing the temperature here to be very high … At the same time, Lin believed that this place would be very cold at night.
However, this place … Lin believed that there might be creatures here.
Looking around, this was a desert, but there were many protrusions in the desert. They looked like stone towers that were several meters tall.
These stone towers did not seem to be naturally formed … because there were many small holes on these towers. They were arranged neatly, so they should have been built by some kind of creature.
Just as she was thinking this, Lin noticed a group of moving creatures crawling out of the tower.
As expected … there were resources here. However. Their numbers … might not be enough. But first, she had to examine these creatures and see what they were.
Rumble. The pompom moved its body slightly, and the moment it made a sound, the creatures that had just crawled out all ran back into their stone towers.
They seemed to be very sensitive creatures, and their personalities were very similar to those of other creatures …
However, their 'alert period' seemed to have passed very quickly, after a few dozen seconds. After a few seconds, Lin saw the creatures crawling out of the stone towers again. Even though the pompom was still there, they completely ignored it.
Maybe they only react to things that move?
Lin carefully observed these small creatures. They were about ten centimeters in size, almost the same size, but their shapes were not very regular, like stones.
Their backs were flat, and they emitted a bright light. Their lower bodies were irregular like rocks, and they had five to seven insect-like legs that allowed them to move.
Lin felt that their characteristics … were very similar to rock creatures.
Rock creatures were not commonly seen. Lin had only seen a few of them, but there were many in Brain Soul's prison.
These creatures swayed their shiny bodies under the light of the stars. At the same time, a large number of them surged out of the stone tower and quickly occupied the ground near the pompom.
When the entire ground was filled with these creatures, the dazzling light made the pompom feel a little uncomfortable.
And when the creatures piled up on the ground, they began to do the next thing … they began to attack each other.
A large group of small stones collided with each other on the ground, constantly making 'da da' sounds. The pompom carefully observed their fight and found that these stones were not randomly hitting each other. Instead, they were in a certain group.
The stones that lived in a stone tower would gather together and cooperate with each other to deal with the other stones nearby. They would use their bodies to push the stones in other towers away.
What were they fighting for? Lin felt that they seemed to be fighting for a place with a special light.
Although there was no cover here, there were still some cloud-like objects in the sky … These stones were fighting for the light under the clouds.
Lin noticed that after the light from the stars passed through the clouds, there would be a slight change, as if there was a 'component' added to the light, and these stones were fighting for that component. Only when they were properly under the clouds would they receive the greatest amount of light.
This might be able to provide them with some kind of nutrition, but Lin felt that they would use up more energy when they collided with each other.
But they liked to collide so much. The strongest group would get a chance, while the other groups would be pushed to a place without clouds. But no matter what, they had to be under the strong light, and none of them would be in the shadow of the stone tower or the pompom.
Lin named them 'da da da stones' because once they started fighting, the whole place would constantly make 'da da da da' sounds.
Now that she could confirm that they were light-eating creatures, Lin felt that she should capture one of them to study their composition, then confirm their numbers and see if they could be used as resources for the Star Bus.
Lin needed several resources. One of them was' cell resources' to produce a large number of pompom, and the other was' bus resources' to reconstruct some of the Star Bus's organs.
These organs were not made up of many cells, but their composition could be found in creatures like the Void Bus or Frost Stone, so Lin believed that there should be useful materials on the 'da da stones'.
And the moment the pompom extended its tentacles, all the da da stones that were fighting fiercely suddenly fled back into their stone towers.
It seemed that they were quite sensitive, but if that was the case … perhaps there was a creature that hunted them that caused them to behave this way.
All in all, she had to use another method to study it, and at the same time, investigate other areas on this Tumbler …
…
Just like that, several days and nights passed. This time, Lin did not quickly explore the next Tumbler like before. Instead, she stayed here for a while and used a type of rapid flying troop to determine the size and overall structure of this world.
Sphere 3 had no water, at least not on the surface, but it had a wonderful structure. Most of this world was desert, and pure sand and gravel occupied about 70% of this world.
Lin felt that this place could be called a sea of sand, followed by 'land'.
Land was usually higher than the sea of sand, and they were basically made of rocks. Apart from a large number of 'islands', there were only three large 'continents'. While circling around the Tumbler, Lin did not find any creatures on the continents or sea of sand.
But occasionally, she would find … some strange things, like stone towers made of 'da da stones'.
Lin also studied the da da stones. These things were extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the air, but Lin did not find any creatures that hunted them. The internal structure of the da da stones was also very strange. They could absorb light and move their bodies. The absorption efficiency was quite high, and Lin felt that they were useful. Apart from that, they would also devour gravel to repair the damaged parts of their bodies.
As for why they wanted to live under the clouds, Lin did not find any special reason. That was because a da da stone could absorb the same amount of energy whether it was under the clouds or not.
Perhaps there was some unknown part of them …
Many of the components in their bodies could also be used as nutrients for the Star Bus, restoring the connection between digestive organs and other organs.
But the problem was … there were too few of them.
After circling around the entire Tumbler, Lin only found the da da stones here. They were located in the center of the sea of sand, and they had built a large number of stone towers in an area of only a few dozen meters in diameter.
There were only about a hundred da da stones in each of the stone towers, and their numbers were very small …
Although they absorbed the local nutrients, Lin did not know how these non-multicellular creatures transformed resources, so there was only one way …
That was to let them reproduce and increase their numbers.
However, this method was also difficult. It required more observation and research. These da da stones did not seem to reproduce here. There was probably something wrong with the surrounding environment.
In addition to these things, Lin also discovered something special.
Outside the sea of sand, more than a thousand kilometers away from the da da stones … the pompom was now at this location. At this location, Lin found a lot of … rubble.
As the pompom flew through the air, Lin could see a lot of 'rubble' on the sand below. In fact, they were not rubble, they just looked like rubble.
These rubble were quite big, each one was several dozen meters in size, and there were hundreds of them scattered across the desert.
The pompom flew in the air and looked at the rubble on the ground, waiting for time to slowly pass …
The color of the sky slowly darkened, and the world also entered a state of night. During the night, Lin could feel the surroundings getting colder and colder.
The day and night of this world was similar to the pompom's, it was a very normal range.
As soon as night fell, Lin could see strange movements on the ground. Things that looked like rubble began to move on the ground.
They slowly gathered together at a speed of one meter per ten seconds, and then moved in a direction.
They were clearly a kind of creature … and although they seemed to move slowly, they were very difficult to catch.
The pompom immediately flew down, and the rubble all hid in the sand in an instant, burying them.
In addition to these rubble like creatures, Lin also found some similar creatures nearby. These creatures were like da da stones, extremely sensitive to vibrations in the air, they would instantly hide.
It was a very special feeling …
Lin continued to observe them and did not find any creatures that hunted them. Why were they so good at hiding?
Moreover, these creatures were also like da da stones, they were distributed in small areas, only in the center of the sea of sand …
