"Click …"
A creature with a sparkling crystal body was curled up in the corner of a room. Its body was constantly emitting strange clicking sounds. This creature was the first one that Lin found here that was not a fungus.
This is the internal space of the 'subspecies civilization platform', a room in the tunnel.
Lin saw a creature here … that looks like a crystal lizard.
This creature is more than three meters long. Like the crystal lizard, it has a hole in its head, but it only has two limbs. Its body is also composed of a crystal structure similar to the crystal lizard.
Is it also a subspecies? A large subspecies of crystal lizard. It seems that the crystal lizard has a very complicated relationship with the civilization platform … Although the crystal lizards and the civilization platform are not compatible.
Because they can't live in the environment inside the platform.
And this large crystal lizard seems to be able to live inside the subspecies platform, although Lin doesn't think it's very good.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, the crystal lizard moved. It supported its body with its two limbs, then ran out of the room at a very fast speed.
The Rock Spider was right next to it, but it didn't seem to notice it at all.
However, the Rock Spider didn't do anything and just followed the big crystal lizard out. Although it only has two limbs, not to mention losing its balance, its speed is quite fast. This is also because the gravity here is very low.
The Rock Spider followed it for a while in the tunnel. When it almost reached the fork that Lin went to before, it suddenly stopped. Lin found that the crystal lizard was hitting the wall with its head.
Is there something on the wall?
However, it doesn't seem to be able to break it, no matter how hard it tried. The metal wall didn't react at all, but some cracks appeared on its head.
Maybe I should help it …
After hitting the wall many times in a row, the crystal lizard seemed to be tired or in pain. It lay down on the side. The Rock Spider saw this and walked forward. It raised its forelimbs and aimed at the wall it just hit …
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the entire wall caved in. The Rock Spider poked at the caved in wall, and the caved in part fell off, revealing a vast space behind it.
There is really something behind here, and it seems to be different from the place Lin saw before.
The crystal lizard was very excited when it found that Lin broke the wall. It immediately burrowed inside, and the Rock Spider followed suit.
The space inside was quite big, and he couldn't even see where the edge was. It was like … an underground plain.
Here, Lin could see many things. For example, there was a huge mechanical structure lying in front of the Rock Spider.
This thing was more than six meters tall and had a streamlined body. It looked like a 'car' of the Voidfolk. There should be a space inside to accommodate creatures because when he knocked on it, he could hear that it was hollow.
However, there were no entrances or windows. It seemed to be a completely sealed thing. Of course, there were no wheels or anything like that.
And there were many more around this thing, as if they had been abandoned and thrown everywhere.
Ever since the crystal lizard entered this place. Its speed was not fast, but it was still crawling in a certain direction. The Rock Spider followed it. He looked around to see where it could go.
The floor here was made of the same material as the wall outside. It was made of solid, smooth metal and looked very clean.
But aside from the floor, this place looked like a junkyard … there were abandoned things like cars everywhere. Lin also saw many broken parts scattered on the ground.
Walking here, she would occasionally see some pillars made of metal. They were emitting a dim light. It illuminated the surroundings.
Following the crystal lizard deeper, Lin could see that the 'cars' here were even more damaged. There was such a car in front of the Rock Spider. Half of its body had been broken. A lot of broken parts were scattered around.
From the broken part, she could see that the inside was indeed hollow, and there seemed to be some kind of operating system.
There were many 'cars' nearby that were similarly damaged. Some of them looked like they had been split open by something, some were completely broken, and some looked like they had been hit by something, with a large part of the side caved in.
It felt like they had gone through an unusually fierce battle here.
… Indeed, there should have been a battle. Looking at their position and their injuries, it didn't look like they were attacked while running away. Instead, it looked like they had been fighting here for a long time.
But despite their fierce battle, there was not a single trace left on the ground …
"Clack." Suddenly, the crystal lizard let out a cry. It stopped in front of the Rock Spider and slowly retreated.
That thing was …
Lin suddenly noticed that there was a wriggling thing more than ten meters in front of the crystal lizard. Its color was exactly the same as its surroundings. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it.
The Rock Spider's current ability was based on its vision. If it used other senses, it would be able to sense that there was a large thing there.
It seemed that this thing's shape was not fixed. It looked very much like a slime. The crystal lizard also noticed this creature. It seemed a little scared and retreated.
Lin thought that it would ignore everything and keep walking like it ignored the Rock Spider, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"Gulp …" Suddenly, the slime-like creature showed color. It turned from transparent to grayish-black in an instant.
And it was still wriggling. It looked like a mass of moving tar, so Lin just called it tar.
This' tar 'seemed to be paying attention to the crystal lizard. Could it be that they were predator and prey? Lin noticed that tar suddenly and rapidly bulged. It seemed to be increasing in size. Lin also saw a round hole with a diameter of thirty centimeters on its surface …
"Boom —!!!"
At that moment, Lin saw that the round hole lit up. Then there was a violent roar behind her. It seemed that the whole place shook.
Looking back, he saw that 80% of the 'car' behind him had been blown up, and the remaining wreckage was still smoking.
This power … was quite strong. But how could this wriggling thing 'tar' make such a powerful attack?
Its attack was aimed at the crystal lizard. But before it attacked, the crystal lizard moved to the side. So it hit the 'car' behind it.
At that moment, tar aimed at the crystal lizard again.
"Boom!" Another explosion rang out. This time, the crystal lizard managed to dodge it. Tar's attack hit a pillar in the distance, blowing up a piece of it.
It seemed that the pillar was much harder than the 'car.' After it was blown up, they continued to face each other. Lin noticed that they completely ignored the Rock Spider next to them. No matter what the Rock Spider did, they didn't care.
So Lin decided to do something special … For example, she wanted to find out where tar's weapon came from.
With that in mind, Lin let the Rock Spider run to tar and poked it. Tar suddenly reacted. It turned its' head 'and aimed at the Rock Spider.
At that moment, the crystal lizard suddenly turned and ran into the distance. Tar immediately turned back and attacked the crystal lizard several times. But it missed every time. Instead, it left charred marks on the ground one after another.
The crystal lizard quickly ran into the darkness beyond the light and disappeared.
It seemed that the crystal lizard knew how to take advantage of opportunities. Tar seemed to be blaming the Rock Spider for distracting it. It now aimed its weapon at the Rock Spider.
But at such a close distance, it would also be affected.
So the two sides confronted each other for about a hundred seconds. Then, as if it suddenly lost interest in the Rock Spider, it turned and moved into the distance.
The Rock Spider followed behind it. Lin felt that this creature was more interesting than the Crystal Lizard, but she couldn't afford to lose sight of the Crystal Lizard, so while the Crystal Lizard was running, the Rock Spider launched some of its minions at it and stuck them to the Crystal Lizard.
This way, it could observe both sides at the same time.
Tar moved very slowly, just like a slime. After following it for a while, Lin found that the 'cars' around them were getting fewer and fewer.
And the number of broken parts on the ground was increasing.
Could it be that the cars were all broken down at this location?
"Gulp!" Suddenly, Lin saw another … tar in front of her.
This time, the new tar did not change in colour. The two tars brushed past each other without any special reaction. However, Lin noticed that there was something that looked like a metal tube sticking out of the new tar's' head '.
Lin thought it picked it up from the pile of parts around them.
Then, following the tar's' pace ', Lin saw a lot more tar. There seemed to be a lot of these creatures here …
They were all crawling around in the pile of parts. Most of them had various parts stuck on their bodies. Lin saw a few of them picking up the parts on the ground and placing them on various parts of their bodies …
Could it be that they obtained energy in this way?
The Rock Spider would occasionally poke at the tar. At first, it was very dissatisfied, but after a while, it stopped responding. Lin took the opportunity to study it.
The tar's body was made up of a highly viscous mixture. There was also water in it. So, they should only be able to move around in this warm place. If they went to the surface, they would be frozen.
But Lin still didn't know how it changed color or how it used such a powerful weapon.
That thing was …
Lin noticed that there was a large object in front of her. There was a large group of tar gathered around it. They seemed to be eating that thing.
As for the appearance of that thing … Lin thought it looked like a car, but much bigger. It also seemed to have a lot of weapons. (To be continued)
