So that's how it is …
Lin now understood the situation here. In short, the Ershi Order was attacked by a certain creature.
They originally thought that there were no other creatures in this world other than microbes, but in fact, there was a rather large creature living here.
At first, this creature only appeared sporadically around the town, but then slowly began to attack the town's residents.
After the Seneschal caught one, he found that it was reading the diary of a resident in a house. The Seneschal believed that they weren't just randomly reading it, they … could understand the diary.
Later, the Seneschal discovered more and believed that the creature was indeed learning their technology.
Following that, the town began to suffer constant attacks. Perhaps there were a lot of casualties at this time. Although Lin didn't see any signs of battle here, she could tell that many creatures here had been injured by examining the fine substances inside the houses and around the edges.
Because of the constant attacks, the town's residents couldn't leave. Then, they predicted a sandstorm, but missed the time to avoid it.
Then, the Seneschal decided to abandon the buildings and escape. In order to prevent those creatures from learning their technology, they specifically took all the information with them.
Not only that, they had also used up all the energy in the buildings and factories. Most likely, they had been adjusted to their most energy-consuming state before leaving, so they would automatically stop when they ran out of energy. That was why Lin had seen so many Ersh Rollers in the factories. Most likely, they had been produced at this stage.
The main reason for this problem seemed to be …
The speed of these buildings was too slow.
Lin discovered that these buildings were moving using something similar to a tank's' belly belt '. But their speed was quite slow. It wasn't even as fast as their running speed.
Why was it so slow? Lin still didn't understand the reason behind it. However, they had always predicted the climate change in advance, so there wasn't any problem.
Another reason why they ran away on their own seemed to be that the creatures didn't attack them and were more interested in the buildings.
If they ran away with the buildings, they would continue to be attacked, but if they ran away without the buildings, they wouldn't …
Since that was the case, the residents who ran away should still be alive, but where were they now?
But for now, it was better to be concerned about the situation here.
"These creatures … I've heard many legends about them before. I didn't expect them to be true … "The Seneschal looked at the image in his hand with a serious expression, showing a very detailed information.
It was the information about the creatures that attacked the town. They were called … 'Stoneskin'. It felt like a rather simple name.
According to the pictures of the creatures, they were about 1.6 meters long. They had the same hands and feet as Atlan. The most unique thing about them was their skin. It felt like they were made of stone. They were grayish-black in color. If they did not move, they would be mistaken for stone statues.
The creature in the painting was lying on the ground. Lin noticed that their hands and feet had curved claws, which were very suitable for crawling in this kind of terrain.
It looked like a wild creature. These creatures were actually able to cause damage to this small town, which was filled with weapons. It felt quite powerful.
The creatures in the video had their backs facing him, so he couldn't see what their faces looked like. However, there was a very detailed introduction below, such as their size, approximate numbers, how fast they ran, and what weapons could be used to injure them.
One thing that was worth noting was that these creatures were very intelligent. They could set up all kinds of traps and use all kinds of tactics, so that those who read the information would not think that they had no intelligence.
And at the bottom of the information, there were some … speculations.
"These creatures … could be the result of some kind of plan?" When he saw the next part, the captain could not help but read it aloud.
"A long time ago, Ershi came up with such a plan. They planned to send some special 'ability users' to this place to live. These 'ability users' have been modified to adapt to life here. In fact, the flying team that came here had one goal, which was to find these 'ability users' or find the traces they left behind.
"This plan is quite secretive. However, because my ancestor was one of the participants in the plan, I happened to come across … some of the information that was left behind. I think these 'Stoneskin' might be the ability users from the previous plan."
This was written down by the manager. After the captain read it out, his face was once again filled with shock.
It seemed like he had been shocked many times today …
"What do we do now? Captain? " The team members beside him had the same expression. However, one of them was the first to react. "Shouldn't we inform the leader?"
"Of course!" The captain also reacted. "Hurry up and inform the leader! I didn't think there would be something so dangerous here … "
"Have you finished reading? Give that back to me! " Seeing the captain turn off the screen, Atlan immediately stepped forward and pulled out the statue that was inserted into the panel. Then, he grabbed the head from the captain's hand and put it back together.
"Thank goodness it can be fixed … That's great …"
Looking at Atlan's happy face, Lin felt like he had completely 'fallen in love' with these things … as if nothing else mattered anymore.
Before this, he still wanted to find the ancestral land. Now, he did not care anymore. Who knew that Atlan had such a strange personality.
The captain did not pay much attention to him. After all, he had finished reading the content. He quickly ordered the team members to move and sent the information to the leader.
The information also included the location of the 'Stoneskin's' nest. However, the captain would not go there so quickly. After all, it was quite dangerous.
So … he would let the pompom go take a look first.
"I'll go take a look first." After telling the captain, the pompom floated away.
"Wait! That place is very dangerous! Eh …? What should I do! Come back! "
Ignoring the captain and Atlan's cries, the pompom quickly floated into the sky and flew out of their sight.
That place was not far from here. They would be there soon.
The pompom flew over the desert for a while. Lin noticed a sharp rock in the distance. It grew out from the sand like a tall tower.
It lived in such a conspicuous place, yet the residents of the city did not notice it?
Lin thought as she flew closer to the sharp rock. Suddenly, Lin saw something moving on the sand below.
