"We … may not have many survivors left …"
"Not being able to protect you … is our dereliction of duty … but … if you continue to live here … you will not be able to rebuild our … civilization …"
"So … if something like this happens … prepare … to return … you can use this … to return and join the 'Sea Dwelling Project' …"
"I am currently being chased by a creature … so I cannot stay here for too long … if you hear this … use it …"
…
This crystal can actually record sounds?
Lin felt that these wondrous things might not be completely 'real'. Perhaps Ershi had specially placed them in here for the entire trip to proceed smoothly.
However, it did not matter. As long as the creatures here were real, Lin had indeed seen a lot of information about the creatures that could be found here on Mars.
Lin had just distributed a crystal in the wooden house. This crystal recorded the voice of an elite. It seemed to have come here while being chased by a creature, then ran away after recording its voice.
The current situation was almost 'total annihilation'. However, the elites were prepared to face this situation. This preparation was for Lin to return to the Atlan Kingdom and join the 'Sea Dwelling Project'. Because there might be a lot of people in the 'Sea Dwelling Project', Lin might be able to continue rebuilding her civilization there.
There was no point in continuing to stay here.
Lin felt that this decision was too quick. After all, they had not even confirmed the survival of the other elites. But at that time, it was also on the verge of death. That was why it said that.
Then, other than the crystal that recorded the voice, Lin also found a few other things. She had seen these things before, but they had always been kept in a box. Lin did not know what was in the box before, nor did she ask about it.
And this elite who was on the verge of death came back and opened the box. Then, Lin saw a bottle of … water inside.
This bottle was made of crystal, and there were some words engraved on it.
"My child, if you encounter any danger over there, if you find that you can't continue living outside, then drink it. Be careful to drink it at the seaside. This bottle of water can allow you to return to the arms of the Sea God. You may have heard of some problems with this kind of medicine before. But you must know that you have the purest royal blood, so there will be no problems … "
"Drink it in the sea, and you will know where you should go. There should be people who participated in the sea dwelling project waiting there."
On the back of the bottle, there was some information about the sea dwelling project. This was the same as what Lin knew.
It seemed that the king had prepared this bottle for Lin in advance. It wanted to use the sea dwelling project as a … 'backup plan' for the role that Lin was playing.
The king must have ordered the elites beforehand. If the first plan, which was to migrate to another place to establish a civilization, failed, then they would proceed with the sea dwelling plan.
But before this, he didn't mention this to Lin at all …
So, what should he do now?
Lin was currently inside the wooden house. She looked outside and saw that night was about to fall again. The bonfire was burning brighter and brighter, but the smoke that rose from it was becoming increasingly blurry in the darkening sky.
Elites … Perhaps something had really happened to them, because Lin had been raising her 'signal smoke' for a long time, but no elites had shown up.
Under normal circumstances, they should have returned even if they did not see the smoke. In that case, Lin decided to wait and see.
Because now was not the time to rush into the next plan. After all, she did not know what would happen after drinking that bottle of medicine. She might even die.
So, she decided to live here for a while first. There were houses and enough things here, and …
Rumble.
As she was thinking, Lin heard a sound.
On the grassland in front of her, a huge creature appeared. When it walked, it was like a mammoth that could shake the earth.
But this was not a mammoth. It was three meters tall, almost seven meters long, and had a two-meter long horn on its head. Lin knew that this creature was called a 'plate-tooth rhinoceros.'
Because she could not see its teeth, she did not know if this name fit. The appearance of this creature here made Lin feel a little … strange.
Lin had seen information on Mars before. Most of the creatures she met here … although some were from different eras, they all lived in the same place or a similar place.
And this' plate-tooth rhinoceros' Lin had also seen its information. It lived in … a 'state' that was relatively far away.
Perhaps the information on the residents of Mars was wrong, or perhaps creatures from more than one area would appear here?
Just as Lin was thinking this, the plate-tooth rhinoceros walked over. It easily crushed the wooden thorns surrounding the house.
This creature was a herbivore, so its target was not Lin, but Lin's … bonfire. It ran directly to the bonfire, stomped it out, and left.
It seemed to … specialize in putting out fires?
But this situation seemed normal. Lin had seen in the information that some 'rhinoceros' creatures had the habit of putting out fires. If they saw a small fire that did not spread, they would immediately put it out.
Although this was not a direct threat to Lin, it would lead to some other problems.
Lin noticed some movement in the grass in the distance. In fact, Lin was too conspicuous here. There were often creatures lying in ambush nearby.
It was just that because of the bonfire, they did not dare to come close. But if the bonfire was gone …
"Oh, oh, oh!" Suddenly, a sound came from the bushes. Lin saw a few tall figures stand up from the bushes and rush over.
They were … trolls.
It felt like they were here for revenge, although it was a little late. One of the trolls rushed over the wooden thorns that the plate-tooth rhinoceros had stomped on. It was holding a tree trunk as a weapon. Seeing this, Lin picked up the crossbow and pulled the trigger at its forehead.
Whoosh! The arrow caused the monster to fall to the ground, screaming in pain. But it had four companions beside it. When they saw one of their kind fall, they seemed to become angrier.
Lin turned around and ran. She ran to the back of the house, stepped on the wooden thorns, and jumped. Lin felt cold all over her body. She had already jumped into the lake.
The trolls ran to the edge of the water, and Lin swam into the lake. The trolls did not seem to dare to come down. They looked around the lake, but none of them jumped down to chase her.
But they did not seem to want to let Lin go. When they saw Lin swimming in the lake, they went around the edge of the lake, as if they wanted to stop Lin on the shore.
In that case … she should not continue to stay here.
Lin felt that this situation was a little … special.
But forget it. In that case, she obviously could not continue to live here, even if the trolls had left. Lin did not know how long it would take for them to attack again.
In that case, she could only use that potion … probably.
Although this lake was not the sea, Lin felt that this place might lead to the sea. It was very deep, and Lin had seen some seawater fish here, so Lin felt that there was a path down there.
She thought. Lin picked up the bottle. Then she drank the water inside.
The potion had no taste. Usually, it would be better to drink it in a safe place on the shore, but there was no safe place right now, so she drank it here.
After drinking it, Lin's character suddenly felt a special sense of fatigue and sleepiness. When this feeling accumulated to its strongest point, Lin … entered the white space from before.
In this space, the Ershi ball was floating there, and it said to Lin, "You've completed half of the historical observation."
While the ball was moving. Lin woke up slightly and looked at the internal changes of the Record Crystal. Lin found that she could confirm what parts were moving this white space and the Ershi ball responsible for the explanation.
But there was no need to analyze those parts yet, so Lin went back to see what the Ershi ball was saying.
"The history here is a bit different from the real situation, but they are generally the same. The king dispatched two armies, one of them crossed the sea to establish a civilization, while the other directly dived into the sea to establish a civilization."
"These two armies were originally unrelated, and they did not meet in any way … although the king did prepare that potion in advance, it did not succeed."
"However, in this special situation, you can see the entire history, so you will experience the history of the sea …"
After saying that, the Ershi ball disappeared.
Then, Lin found that the space around her slowly returned to normal.
So that's how it was. Originally, there was no such thing. Lin being able to participate in the sea dwelling project was mainly because of the Ershi's special arrangement?
This was not bad, Lin also wanted to see how they lived in the sea …
Lin opened her eyes. She could now feel that she was deep in the water, and when she looked up, she could see the surface of the lake sparkling with sunlight.
Lin seemed to have sunk into the lake, and was lying on top of a rock protruding from the cliff.
Although she was in the water, she did not feel like drowning, as if her respiratory system could absorb the oxygen in the water. At the same time, Lin also noticed some strange changes in her body.
The biggest change was in her legs. When Lin looked down, she found that her legs were no longer there. Instead, they had turned into something that resembled a whale's tail, and her upper body did not seem to have changed at all.
So that's how it was. She had turned into one of the Ershi's legendary sea dwellers, and this form felt … strange.
It was like a 'synthetic creature' that was half-Atlan and half-whale. Lin felt that the Atlans who participated in the sea dwelling project would not have turned into this form, so this form might have been specially created by the Ershi.
However, it did not seem like there was any difficulty in moving, so there was no need to think too much about it. (To be continued.)
