"Coo …"
This was … a town in the forest above the 'Core Protector'. In this town, there was a creature called 'rugby'.
Lin's Rock Spider moved quickly in the town, observing the residents.
Most of the buildings here were hemispherical, with few multi-story structures. But because of the large diameter, a single building could house many rugby balls.
There was no particular order or arrangement of the buildings. Lin felt that they were placed randomly, but each building was always some distance away from the next one, and the distance between them was used as a passageway.
It could be said that the whole town was full of 'alleys'.
Lin's Rock Spider was also running in one of the alleys, observing their lives. These creatures felt like the Emerald Dragons of the past. They had the common characteristics of individual creatures, such as the habit of exchanging things, and also the habit of conversing.
They seemed to be using sound to communicate …
In front of the Rock Spider, there were two rugby balls communicating with each other. They were constantly making 'buzzing' or 'whining' sounds.
But Lin felt that they were not actually communicating with sound. The sound was just a side effect. In fact, their way of communicating was …
Emotional.
It should be similar to how some species communicate with their pheromones. Lin believed that some of the 'glands' in the rugby balls were very rich. They could release a large amount of pheromones to let the other party know what they meant.
Lin also felt it. Although she could not fully understand their language, she could tell that … they were conveying some kind of panic.
Most of the other rugby balls here were also in a state of panic. They were flying here and there at an extremely fast speed. Occasionally, they would talk to their companions about panic.
These creatures were not even afraid of committing suicide. Why were they so panicked?
Perhaps the two rugby balls Lin saw in the wild were mentally unstable, and the ones here were normal. They were afraid of death.
But Lin still did not know what they were afraid of. She hoped that it had something to do with the creator or the Core Protector.
The creature that the Core Protector transferred to looked like a pile of debris. That might just be its dream form. It might have a different form in reality.
But if Lin encountered it, she should be able to tell that it was different.
Therefore, Lin decided to stay in this rugby town to see how they were doing. Obviously, they had to encounter some kind of situation.
Would it be some kind of disaster? Or would some kind of creature attack them? He only needed to wait for a while to see it.
The Rock Spider climbed onto a small house. She could see a large number of rugby balls flying around in the surrounding streets. Lin noticed that they were all carrying something.
The rugby ball had six limbs, and each of its limbs had a gripping function. However, it seemed that because they were floating, they could not carry heavy objects. Each rugby ball only carried a little.
And these rugby balls carrying things were all flying rapidly in one direction.
So, Lin also followed them. The Rock Spiders leaped rapidly between the houses, jumping towards the rugby gathering spot.
The gathering place of rugby was not the center of the town, but the edge of the town. Lin noticed that they were actually building … walls at the edge of the city?
The rugby ball was holding something that looked like clay. It was exactly the same as the tentacle creature Lin had seen used to make statues.
Rugby had piled up a large amount of clay at the edge of the city. Many rugby balls were bouncing back and forth, and a wall made of clay was growing taller and taller.
It seemed that they really wanted to defend against the attack of some kind of creature, but they seemed to be very nervous. Why didn't they build a wall in advance? They would only build it when they were about to be attacked.
There were also some other problems.
The Rock Spider climbed to the bottom of the wall. With the efforts of a large number of rugby balls, the clay at the edge of the town had reached a height of more than three meters. The Rock Spider poked at the bottom of the wall.
This wall … was soft.
As expected, it was made of clay and was quite fragile. Even the smallest jade could easily bite through it.
And because it was made of clay, it was very easy for most creatures to climb up. It seemed that this wall was not a 'physical' defense against enemies, but it had some special effect, such as smell or something to resist invading creatures.
"Coo coo coo!" Suddenly, Lin felt a strong emotion coming from the rugby balls building the wall above. When they expressed their emotions, they also seemed to make some sounds.
Following the emotion of one rugby ball, the other rugby balls around it were infected with the same emotion. They quickly flew towards a place.
The Rock Spider followed them. Soon, Lin found that the rugby balls were gathered in front of a gap in the wall, and the gap was mainly caused by a creature …
This creature was more than five meters tall. In front of the one meter long and less than half a meter tall rugby balls, it was a huge monster. Lin thought that it was a creature called the giant clam.
On the pom-poms, the giant clam was a large shellfish, but here, it was a creature that floated in the air.
Lin saw that it opened its' shell 'slightly and then bit the wall built by the rugby balls. This time, it could bite off a large piece of the wall. The rugby balls kept flying around this huge creature and even threw stones at it.
It seemed that the giant clam was not the creature that invaded the rugby balls. It was just passing by to eat the clay.
The rugby balls' attacks did not have any effect on the surface. Some rugby balls even brought torches. They really knew how to make flames.
However, no matter what she did, it was useless. The giant clam did not seem to have any reaction even when she placed the torch on its body. Lin felt that it might not be a multicellular organism … However, the giant clam did not eat much. It left after chewing down the wall that was about ten meters wide.
The rugby ball also quickly patched up the collapsed wall. It seemed that the damage this time wasn't too big.
After a while, Lin found that the rugby balls had finished their wall. They built a five-meter high wall of clay about fifty centimeters thick. Although it was soft to the touch, it did not seem to collapse easily.
The wall surrounded the whole town. Lin did not look in any other direction, but she thought that it should be so because the rugby balls flew in all directions.
After the wall was built, a large number of rugby balls gathered in the center of the town.
Like most small towns, there was a square in the town to facilitate the gathering of creatures. Even creatures that could fly needed a large space to move.
The Rock Spider followed the rugby balls to the square in the center of the town. Lin could see that they were circling the square.
Because they were floating, the Rock Spider could pass under them and came to the center of the square.
The rugby balls formed a small circle in the center of the square. No rugby balls floated in the circle, as if there was a special meaning to it.
But now, the rugby balls were not doing anything. They just floated in the same place. Lin could feel their anxiety.
They felt that they had done what they should do. Now, they could only wait …
Their anxiety kept echoing around. Lin thought that they should let some rugby balls keep watch to avoid any accidents before the wall appeared.
But they had all gathered here, so if something happened … they could do nothing.
… Wait.
Hundreds of seconds had passed.
These creatures were still nervous. They did not move, but they could not help but use their abdomen … an organ that looked like an eye to observe the surroundings.
How long do I have to wait?
This is …
When Lin thought about it, she suddenly felt the emotions of these creatures change rapidly.
If it was' uneasiness' before, it had now become extreme nervousness. It was as if a creature had seen a huge meteorite appear in front of its eyes.
This kind of extreme anxiety should be the arrival of intruders. But Lin did not notice any movement …
Lin had the Rock Spider quickly run to the wall at the edge of the town. After climbing to the wall, the Rock Spider … still did not see anything.
The strange forest outside the wall was still the same. No creatures appeared in the forest, but Lin saw the 'giant clam' again.
Maybe it was not the same one. Anyway, this one was also eating the wall.
But obviously, it was not the main threat. It only ate the wall, not the rugby balls.
Then … why were the rugby balls so nervous? What were they afraid of?
The Rock Spider ran back to the square again. Lin felt that the rugby balls were so nervous that they were about to go crazy. Suddenly, something strange happened.
Lin saw a rugby ball suddenly fall from the sky and fall to the ground. Then, it stopped moving.
… Dead?
The Rock Spider crawled to the rugby ball and poked it. Lin was sure … Although its cells were not all dead, its main organs, such as the brain, had stopped working.
Could it be …
Bang. Another rugby ball fell to the ground.
This phenomenon caused the surrounding rugby balls to panic to the highest level. They no longer stayed in the same place. They began to frantically flee in all directions.
But that did not seem to stop the spread of death among them.
The rugby balls that were flying around in the air fell to the ground one by one. Every rugby ball tried its best to escape from its fallen comrades, but they didn't fly out of the surrounding walls of the town. They just flew around in the town.
This phenomenon continued, and more and more dead bodies fell to the ground …
Lin felt like she should study this. Floating astronomy.
