So far … she had identified a lot of creatures here.
In the connected world, in the camp of the Voidfolk.
The construction here was almost done. There were many buildings within the high metal walls. In the largest building, a ball of fluff was motionless in one of the rooms.
Although it seemed to be motionless, the ball of fluff was actually processing some … information.
The information was about the various creatures here. Lin had now confirmed some of the ecological situation here.
In general, the relationship between the creatures here was quite complicated. Almost every creature had a very complicated social structure and way of life.
For example, the 'Earth Mirror' and the 'Rift Worm' that the Scholar and the others had encountered before. These creatures had a very complicated way of life, but according to the Scholar's report, these creatures occupied a very small area.
Lin also noticed that the creatures in this area were similar. They were not as simple as the ball of fluff or the creatures in some other places.
Lin found that most of the cellular creatures here were not just made up of cells. There might be a lot of other things living in their bodies.
It could be a civilization, or a more complex group … the creatures here were basically like that.
However, this was only a phenomenon in this area. She was not too sure about places further away.
Recently, some creatures from afar had appeared here … those things.
With that in mind, Lin looked at the corner of the room. There was a large pile of transparent jars in the corner. Each of the jars had a black … fine particle.
These particles kept bumping into each other in the jars as if they wanted to get out.
They were called 'Black Scales'. Previously, they wanted to attack the Scholar and the others, but they were caught by the ball of fluff. Then, Lin put each of the particles into a separate jar.
The result was that they could not do anything but keep bumping into each other. As for the reason, Lin now knew.
Each particle had a certain 'thinking' ability, just like individual brain cells. When they were combined, they could form real thoughts. After combining, they could change their shape no matter how they wanted to.
However, if they were separated, the 'Black Scales' would not be able to think. They would only perform one action, and that was to combine.
The speed of combining was quite fast. However, during the process of combining, some methods would be used to stop them from combining. Then, they would never be able to think.
Just like now, because they were isolated by the jar, all the particles were on the way to reassemble.
Lin, on the other hand, was conducting some tests on the Black Clam Scales. The structure of the Black Clam Scales was very complicated … This made Lin very interested. Lin felt that she could try to create something similar.
For example, he could create some special units that could be used in many ways.
Lin felt that the black scales were related to Dreameaters because they possessed dreamforce similar to Dreameaters.
As soon as they appeared, they chased after the Scholar's main body. This feeling was very … suspicious. However, there was no concrete evidence yet, so they had to continue investigating.
In addition to these creatures, Lin also studied the newest creature. Now, Lin turned her attention to another Pompom.
The pompom flew high up in the sky, and in the distant sky in front of it, a huge … dark cloud could be seen.
This was it. This creature should be called … the Cloud Combo.
The place where these creatures lived seemed to be erratic. This location was about one kilometer away from the camp, which was above the Mirror Pit Plain.
Lin had never seen this creature here before. But now that it had appeared here, Lin felt that it was very interesting. It looked like a huge dark cloud, but this' dark cloud 'was actually made up of a large number of creatures.
There were many kinds of microorganisms mixed inside. There seemed to be some highly advanced microorganisms like 'gap worms' mixed in as well.
Lin was not completely sure how many microorganisms there were inside, but she had a certain understanding of how they lived.
Their biggest characteristic was their ability to 'assemble'.
The microorganisms that gathered into a huge dark cloud would assemble into a large creature. The main method of assembling was to put together a large number of microorganisms that were originally very small, and in a short amount of time, they could assemble into a large creature.
So far, Lin could only confirm that they could assemble into a single creature … this creature had four wings. Its body was olive shaped.
The dark cloud itself would not hunt. Instead, it would send out these assembled flying creatures to hunt or fight. If these assembled creatures were killed, the dark cloud would try to retrieve their corpses.
It was possible that they could also assemble into other creatures, but Lin had not seen any.
The dark cloud usually used this strange method to live, but they also had some other … characteristics. For example, they were very persistent in protecting the 'door' that led to another Star Bus.
They did not seem to want to let any creatures pass. This was something Lin knew from the Hierarch.
With that in mind, Lin paid attention to the various explorations here. So far, two teams had been dispatched. One was the Scholar and the Hero's team.
Their main purpose was to do many things. For example, they would use various methods to come into contact with the creatures in this world and conduct research.
They also wanted to see how far they could move. At the same time, they wanted to test the performance of their armor.
The other team was the Hierarch's team. His main purpose was to explore the other Star Bus, and it seemed that he had successfully entered the 'door'.
There was no telling what he would encounter there … but the Hierarch's main body was not in this place, so there would not be a situation where his main body was discovered like before.
Apart from their team, there were also other teams that were preparing to move out to explore this world.
For now, Lin was more interested in the Hierarch's exploration because the other Star Bus seemed to be a completely different place.
There might not be any cellular creatures there, but there was also a complex environment … at least that was what Lin Sanjiu thought at first. But now, the situation seemed to be a little different.
…
"There are many here …"
In an icy environment where cold winds blew, the Hierarch's metallic spider was slowly moving forward.
It had been walking here for a while. The gravity here was weaker, but the metallic spider did not move forward quickly because of that. Instead, it carefully moved … one step at a time.
It was not because the Hierarch wanted to move so slowly, but because the target it was following was moving so slowly.
Earlier, the Hierarch had discovered many creatures that seemed to be 'black scales'. They looked like shadows on the ground, but when it got closer, it realized that was not the case.
Then what were they? Of course … it was unknown what they were.
So far, the Hierarch's understanding of these … 'creatures' was that they were round flat objects with a diameter of about three meters that stuck to the ground and could slowly move forward.
They were also called 'black skins' and not 'black scales'.
The Hierarch did not let the spider do anything to them. It simply followed behind the moving 'black skins' because it believed that these creatures could lead it to a certain place.
They did have a certain goal. The Hierarch noticed that the black skins around it were all moving in a certain direction. In terms of speed, these creatures were very similar to the creatures that lived in this place of extreme coldness.
However, the Hierarch believed that they were not cellular creatures, which was why they were moving so slowly not because of the cold, but simply because they could not move fast.
Even so, they still led the Hierarch to something special. Some … remains.
In this area, there were a lot of remains on the desolate rocky ground. The remains seemed to be left behind by multicellular creatures. They were all broken skeletons, and the bones were scattered all over the place. This made the Imam think that a multicellular creature might have come through the door and died here.
However, they were not completely dead yet.
One of the Hierarch's metal spiders approached a skeleton in front of it. This skeleton should have belonged to a creature that was more than ten meters long. The Hierarch could see that the scattered bones were flickering with tiny light spots.
If one looked at it in a microscopic way, one could see that there were many holes on the bones. These holes were flickering with light.
Occasionally, some microscopic creatures could be seen crawling out of the holes and then crawling back in.
These microorganisms were wearing something like a layer of transparent film on their bodies. It seemed to be used for protection.
The Hierarch felt that these microorganisms might have lived on living creatures before. After these creatures died here, they were still trying to live here.
The Hierarch's main focus was on the direction of these remains. These remains were all pointing in the same direction as the others around it.
The Hierarch looked in that direction. In the distance, which was getting darker and darker, there seemed to be a huge cliff. Why were the remains all pointing in that direction?
These black skins crawling on the ground were also crawling in that direction.
Thinking of this, the Hierarch made the metal spiders speed up and run in the direction that all the creatures were heading towards.
The running process did not last long. The Hierarch's metal spiders stopped.
In front of them, there was indeed a huge cliff. Looking at this cliff, the Hierarch felt that he was now in a canyon.
There were also remains on this cliff. Most of them were flying creatures. Unlike the ones that had turned into bones before, these flying creatures' bodies were still relatively intact. However, they were all frozen and stuck to the cliff.
They seemed to be stuck to the cliff and would not fall down.
The Hierarch planned to climb up and take a look.
Boom! The moment the metal spiders touched the cliff, the entire cliff suddenly shook. (~^~)
