"We'll pray for it …"
"May its soul be redeemed …"
This was … a rugby town. ¥f
It had been more than ten days since the rugby ball was attacked by the misty creatures in the dream. The walls formed by the rugby ball were almost completely destroyed.
Many creatures seemed to like to eat the clay, and the rugby ball had no intention of repairing the walls. They seemed to know that there was no danger recently, so they let the walls slowly deteriorate and did other things in the town.
One of Lin's Rock Spiders was observing a ritual in the town. This ritual seemed to be related to the soft mud in the volcano. It could be said that this was the 'funeral' of the rugby ball.
Recently, some dead rugby balls had appeared in the town. They seemed to have reached the end of their lives. Lin felt that these creatures were not simple to live to the end of their lives in this dangerous world.
The rugby ball also had some more complicated consciousness about the dead.
They were in a special town square, which could be called the 'cemetery square'. They gathered the dead rugby balls here and then formed a circle around them to pray.
Lin remembered that the creatures in other worlds had similar rituals. They liked to keep the corpses, or use some method to make the corpses disappear, such as fire. Few were willing to let the corpses be decomposed by natural creatures.
The 'void funeral' was popular among the Voidfolk recently. They launched the dead bodies into the void, but this was only a part of it. Most of them were burned.
The rugby ball's ritual was simpler. They just gathered together to pray.
But from the perspective of the dream. It was not simple … in the hazy dream world. There were many shadows where the corpses were piled up.
They were also piled up together like corpses.
But these shadows … were still alive.
Although the rugby ball in the real world was dead. But it seemed that the creatures in the dream did not die so quickly. They were still slowly wriggling, as if … they wanted to escape.
"Let them receive the blessings!" The rugby ball in the real world was still praying, but they communicated through the dream world. The messages they sent could only be received in the dream world.
If the creatures did not have a symbiotic relationship with the creatures in the dream world, there was no way to 'hear' the rugby ball's message. They could only hear some meaningless sounds.
As the rugby ball prayed, Lin noticed that the movements of the shadows were getting faster.
These corpses had been dead for about a day and night. These shadows had been on the corpse all this time, and it seemed that they were only going to leave now.
Suddenly, Lin saw a shadow fly up. It separated itself from the pile of corpses and flew high into the air. The moment it flew up, the shadows on the other corpses also flew up at the same time.
These shadows gathered together and flew in the same direction.
The direction they were flying in was … the direction of the plains. Could they really be like what the rugby ball said? Would he go to the volcano?
Lin ordered the Rock Spiders to keep up with them. These shadows were flying very fast. Lin noticed that they were indeed flying towards the volcano, but after flying for a short while, they began to turn around and circled above the forest outside the town instead of flying in any other direction.
At the same time, Lin also noticed that as they circled around, their bodies began to shrink. A large number of black dots scattered from their bodies and scattered into the forest.
So that's how it was …
It seemed that this was also the reproduction process of the shadow.
In the end, these spinning shadows slowly became smaller and smaller, and as the black dots scattered, they also disappeared completely.
However, the black dots scattered all over the forest. Lin noticed that they could float and move around. It seemed that not all dream creatures needed the mud in the volcano to reproduce.
Lin speculated that these black dots would find a way to live together with the rugby ball cubs. Before that, they would not have any special 'intelligence' and would only move around.
This feeling was very interesting … According to the current reproduction method, the rugby ball required the death of the shadows to reproduce, but … the shadows required the death of the rugby ball to reproduce.
Were these creatures really a symbiotic species?
Indeed, they were trying their best to keep each other alive, but they needed each other's death to multiply their numbers. This feeling was too strange.
Lin observed them for several days and nights. Many of the black dots were preyed on by the fog creatures in the forest, but because there were so many of them, many survived and hid in a hidden place.
Lin did not keep track of them. She estimated that many of them would survive until the next batch of rugby ball cubs were born.
The rugby ball cubs did not leave the town that was previously massacred. After the scavengers ate most of the corpses, they continued to live there. They lived in the buildings and collected food nearby.
It seemed that they planned to inherit the town and not leave.
Now that she had basically figured out how they lived, Lin planned to communicate with these creatures and ask them about the Core Protector and some other things.
At the same time, Lin also studied the mud in the volcano.
Creatures that lived near the volcano would have to go to the mud in the volcanic lake to reproduce. Lin originally thought that it was necessary, but it did not seem to be the case. However, this mud-like thing was still very important.
In preliminary research, Lin found that it hid a special kind of energy.
Lin could now sense the energy of the dream, so she could distinguish it. Speaking of which, this was' thanks' to the brain spirit invading the pompoms.
This kind of energy seemed to be a necessary substance for the synthesis of dream creatures. Lin felt that there should be a way to extract some of it. Now, Lin had a rock spider eat a lot of mud and store it.
The mud here did not seem to be a living thing. Lin Sanjiu did not know what it was, but eating it did not seem to have any special effect. However, if too much of it was taken away, it might affect the reproduction of the creatures here.
So, where should she go next? There seemed to be no clues.
Although there were many things to study now, Lin mainly wanted to find the Core Protector.
In that case, she would use it.
In the void above the Tumbler, the Star Wanderer that had been floating there turned on a device in its body.
