"Guru …"
"Guru guru guru!"
"Guru guru guru …"
They … were communicating.
However, they were not using the 'guru' sound to communicate. Instead, they were using another method. Lin could not be certain if the 'tar' could hear them.
However, she could be certain that they were communicating by transferring substances.
Before the Rock Spider's eyes, two of the 'tar' were connected to each other. There was a very thin line between them. Through Lin's probing, she found that there were many substances flowing through the line.
The 'tar' would transfer some small substances to each other. Lin speculated that this was their method of communication. It was common to see two or even three 'tar' connected to each other. They would stop communicating at any moment.
This was the main reason why there were so many 'tar' gathered together …
This car-like machine … was over 30 metres long. Despite its massive size, it looked exactly the same as the other six-metre-long machines around it.
There were also many cracks and openings on its body. Many of the 'tar's' moved through the cracks and openings to grab something from within.
At present, one of the 'tar's' was holding onto a metal rod and waving it around in front of the Rock Spider. The other 'tar's were also holding onto something similar. However, some of the' tar's' were holding onto something more special. One of them was the 'tar' that Lin had been following earlier. Lin noticed that the 'tar' was currently spitting out something large from its body.
That thing … looked like a cannon. It had a cannon barrel with a diameter of 30 centimetres. Behind the cannon barrel was a complex mechanical structure. Lin felt that the 'tar' might not have been the one attacking earlier. Rather, it was the one using that thing to attack.
The other 'tar's'. There were also some with similar weapons. It would appear that they would spit them out to 'display' them before quickly swallowing them back in.
These weapons were likely obtained from this very large vehicle.
Thus, Lin decided to go in and check it out.
Like the 'tar', the Rock Spider entered through a hole on the side of the vehicle. After entering, the Rock Spider shone with light to illuminate the darkness inside.
Lin could see … this appeared to be a very complicated place. There were a large number of complex mechanical structures on the walls of the vehicle. It looked somewhat like the control room of a Voidman warship …
The tar was destroying these structures. It seemed to have a lot of power. It was able to tear or pull something from the mechanical structure and then swallow it.
There was already a lot of tar in here. Lin speculated that each pompon would weigh at least a ton. They were considered large creatures, but because they could transform at will, they were able to drill through the complex machinery to find what they were looking for.
These vehicles were clearly made by other creatures. But what kind of creature was it? It could be those crystal lizards, because the small crystal lizards he had seen before were very good at making machines.
Although these big ones only had two limbs. But perhaps he also had this talent.
The Rock Spider examined the interior of the car for a while. Lin felt that the tar would probably disintegrate the whole car before Lin could understand how the machinery worked.
However, watching the tar was as interesting as the car itself, so Lin didn't stop them. She decided to observe their behavior and see how much information she could gather before they dismantled the car.
This seemed to be … something useful.
A few seconds after the exploration began, Lin found a special item in the car. It was a small square with a lot of metal pieces inside.
Each metal piece was covered with a large number of … words.
They were the same kind of words Lin saw in the passage before. Of course, they might not necessarily be words. They might be something else. Anyway, let's call them words for now. Because there were so many of them here, the words on the metal pieces might be records.
"Gulp." Suddenly, Lin noticed a tar crawling over. Although she didn't know where its eyes were, Lin felt that it was looking at the small square obtained by the Rock Spider.
A second later, the tar pounced over as if it wanted to swallow the Rock Spider and the small square together. But before that, the Rock Spider climbed up the wall and quickly crawled out …
While running, Lin noticed that the Tar Spiders, who were originally ignoring the Rock Spiders, were now paying attention to the Rock Spiders. The Tar Spiders, who were carrying spare parts, threw them at the Rock Spiders, which hit the inner wall of the car with a continuous sound.
But the Rock Spider still managed to escape. After jumping out of the car, it quickly crawled in a direction without tar …
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion next to the Rock Spider. The tar with long-range weapons opened fire at the Rock Spider. As the ground trembled, the Rock Spider threw the small square it was holding aside, and the metal pieces inside spilled all over the ground.
The Rock Spider didn't quickly pick it up. Instead, it looked at the tar in the distance, and their attack … stopped.
And they continued to crawl back into the car as if nothing had happened. Lin only saw one tar crawling over, and its target wasn't the Rock Spider, but the small square.
Could it be …
They might not notice … the Rock Spider that didn't touch the metal.
This seemed to be the case before. Perhaps the tar's perception limited them from seeing the Rock Spider, but they would only notice when the Rock Spider touched some metal objects or touched them.
In that case, if the Rock Spider swallowed the metal, would they notice it? But the Rock Spider didn't have this ability at the moment, so it was better to run first.
The Rock Spider quickly collected all the metal pieces and the small square before the tar crawled over, and then quickly ran in a direction.
Sure enough, when the Rock Spider touched these things, they all noticed, but the tar couldn't catch up because it was too far away.
As the Rock Spider ran, it realized that there were no more tar around, and there were no more broken parts or car wreckage. It seemed to have become … quite deserted.
"Boom …"
But Lin could feel the ground trembling.
It seemed that there was something huge moving here. She didn't know if it was moving or hitting, but it was definitely huge … She should go take a look.
The Rock Spider took off one of its forelimbs. This forelimb would continue to crawl back to observe the tar and the cars, and now the Rock Spider was going to see the source of the tremors.
It seemed to be that thing.
After running about a hundred meters, the Rock Spider saw a … flesh and blood creature in front of it. (To be continued …) i1292
