This was … their travel plan?
This was the dinosaur continent. The imam took his own aircraft to this place. In order to solve the mystery of the brain-made monster's departure … the imam arrived at a special place. ∈/w.
This was once the country of the Emerald Dragons, but there was no trace of the past. The dense jungle covered their ruins, and everything was covered by vegetation.
Of course, it also included the culprit of the country's destruction — the creator.
The creator released an explosion a long time ago and blew up this place. The imam also knew about this from historical data.
"It's here."
The imam climbed to the edge of his ship-shaped aircraft. He rode a new alloy spider and looked down at the dense and complicated jungle. The imam knew that the response from before came from here.
There were some special signals here. After the brain-made monster said that it had successfully launched the attack, the imam sent out another signal to detect and see if he could detect any strange reactions.
In the end, the imam sensed a strange reaction here. Looking at the dense forest, the imam's spider leaped from the sky and jumped onto a tree in the forest. Following this tree, it quickly crawled to the ground and walked into the forest.
Following the source of the signal, the imam came to a … cave in the jungle.
This cave was on the ground and had a diameter of more than ten meters. It seemed to lead to a very deep place. However, the imam thought that he was fully prepared, so he climbed into the cave.
"I found it …" The moment he entered the cave, the imam had already seen the source of the signal.
The source of the signal was on the wall. And there were a lot of them … They looked like mycelium.
"What are these things?" The imam was very curious about this type of mycelium. His alloy spider continued to climb down. He could see that the number of mycelium was getting denser.
"This place should be the original location of the creator. Could it be …"
The imam used the alloy spider's forelimbs to analyze these mycelium. He found that these mycelium had a brain-like structure. They could send out a lot of signals, but the imam thought that these mycelium should not be part of the creator. Perhaps it was related to the creator.
If he wanted to figure it out, the imam thought that he could study the signals sent out by these mycelium and find out where they were sent to …
He thought. The imam immediately took action. First, it used some special system on the alloy spider to 'track' the signal.
These systems would coordinate with the imam's brainwaves to find out where the mycelium was sending the signal.
"I think … I was teleported to somewhere very far away."
The Hierophant realized that these signals were sent to a place very far away. That place was so far away that he could not even feel it …
However, the imam roughly knew where that place was. That direction might be …
…
"It's getting closer." In the void, Maya was still looking at the stars above her. The starry sky was constantly changing. However, they were all changes that it was familiar with.
Maya could now confirm that this month was flying back … It seemed to be trying to fly back to the pompom. Why did this happen?
Maya's forces dug deep beneath the Creator's torso and found something that might be the answer.
Under the Creator's torso, Maya had dug out a cavern with a diameter of 10 meters and a depth of 30 meters. Below the cavern, the infantry were climbing up the walls of the cavern.
On the walls of the cave, there were many protruding structures. These structures felt like …
… Tree roots.
To be precise, they were intertwined tree roots. These tree roots that protruded from the walls of the cavern were all entangled together and formed into clumps.
Each clump had about five tree roots entangled together, but only one of them was white. This white root was also full of mycelium that could send signals.
The other roots were the same color as the trees, but they were not surrounded by mycelium. These ordinary colored tree roots were mainly white and wrapped around the white tree roots.
These strange structures made Maya feel very strange, so while Maya let the infantry study them, she let a special type of troop – the 'Melting Larvae' dig deeper.
These larvae were like their name. They were a few meters long larvae. They did not undergo 'emergence', but they could melt the solid rock layer here.
In this solid rock layer, there were these strange entangled tree root structures everywhere, but Maya was still not sure where these tree roots extended to.
However, she already knew that these tree roots might be the cause of the previous tremors, and also the reason why the moon suddenly flew back.
This was because … Maya remembered that Lin had once said … that this month, there might be something alive.
Or rather, the 'brain' of the moon was dead, but some structures in its body continued to operate, maintaining the moon's repeated movement between the pompom and the Red Tumbler.
The mycelium's signal, for some reason, stimulated the moon's internal structure, causing its repeated movement to change, causing the moon to return to the pompom in advance before reaching the Red Tumbler.
But, what structure was controlling the moon's behavior?
The deeper they dug, the more likely they would find the answer … But Maya did not only dig deeper, she also explored the sky. Maya found that the mycelium did not send signals on its own, but it received signals from afar, causing it to activate.
Now, there were still signals from afar, and the direction of the signal was … the pompom.
Maybe it was because the pompom sent some kind of signal, causing the moon to return … Although Maya thought that it should not be a big problem to return, she had some doubts.
What would happen after the moon returned? Would it still do as before, circling around the Northern Continent for a period of time, and then fly away?
Or, what unexpected situation would happen?
Maya did not know, because the moon's behavior had changed. Maya knew that if the moon was too close to the pompom, it would have a huge impact on that world.
In order to prevent that from happening, Maya must quickly find the underground structure that controlled the moon's behavior.
But, she did not know where that structure was, and … she found that the moon's speed of returning seemed to be much faster than the speed of leaving.
Time … She did not know if it was enough.
At the same time, Maya also found another problem. It seemed that the signal received here was not only from the pompom, but also from another place. That place … Where was it?
…
So it was like that, these things had been sending signals in that direction.
This was the Edge Star, the place where the Inca insects were frozen. Lin went deep underground and found a lot of things that looked like mycelium.
These mycelium grew crazily underground. Although most of them had entered a state of hibernation, or it could be called a state of stagnation, because there were no nutrients nearby for them to consume.
However, there should have been a lot of nutrients underground, but they were all absorbed by these mycelium.
Although they entered a state of stagnation, they would occasionally wake up and send out signals. After sending out signals, they would almost die.
Because they used up the last of their nutrients.
However, not all of the mycelium were in this state. Lin found a kind of mycelium that was still very active in a cave deep underground.
This depth underground … seemed to be quite warm for some reason, it could be considered a normal temperature for water to flow.
Some of Lin's minions followed the mycelium to this location. There was a large cave here, about a hundred meters in diameter. Lin speculated that this might be the main 'base' of the insect swarm.
However, Lin did not find any way to get out of here. It seemed that other than following the mycelium, they could only dig their way in. However, there were a lot of insects here. They might have dug their way in, but the tunnel they dug was sealed for some reason. It looked like a wall, so there was no way to find a way out.
More importantly, these insects had turned into … corpses.
Because the temperature here was high enough, there shouldn't be any insects that were frozen, but they were all dead. Moreover, their bodies were covered in mycelium.
However, Lin found that these mycelium did not seem to be the cause of death.
They only crawled on the shells of the insects and absorbed a small amount of nutrients. They did not drill into the insects' bodies, nor did they kill them directly.
But how did these insects die?
After studying them, Lin found that … they were also frozen, but not to the extent that they were about to shatter. It was just enough that they couldn't maintain their normal body temperature.
Lin felt that this place might have been normal temperature, so the insects established their main base here. But later on, it changed to low temperature, and after they died, the temperature returned to normal again. This way, the mycelium could grow on their corpses.
Something was controlling the temperature here, causing the temperature to change in order to deal with the insects.
Lin felt that she was about to find that thing … As long as she continued to dig, she should be able to find out.
At the same time, Lin had a feeling.
There might be a special creature inside this Tumbler. It could be the main body of these mycelium, and … it had the ability to connect to many different worlds. Floating astronomy.
