"Help! Don't abandon me! "
Lin's spy drill slowly advanced underground. Now, it had arrived at a small underground cave with a diameter of more than ten centimeters. "…"
Lin saw a group of … Earth Mirrors here.
There were ten of them, and they were piled up together. They couldn't move because their bodies were stuck by something on the ground that looked like … mucus.
They were struggling non-stop, and they were also constantly emitting light for help.
These Earth Mirrors … seemed to have been captured.
When the Earth Mirrors were ambushed by Minced Meat, many soft-bodied creatures approached the Earth Mirrors and devoured them.
Normally, the Earth Mirrors that were devoured by soft-bodied creatures would be crushed. However, it seemed that some of them survived and were brought here by the soft-bodied creatures.
Why would the soft-bodied creatures do that?
"Monster! There's a monster! "" Help! Don't come near me! "
When they noticed Lin's spy drill, they began to struggle even more frantically. The closest Earth Mirrors kept twisting their bodies as if they were going crazy.
It seemed that this form was indeed terrifying to them. However, it was difficult to understand this fear without their way of thinking.
Even so, Lin still made the spy drill glow and asked the Earth Mirrors, "Why are you here?"
The moment he asked this question, the Earth Mirrors seemed to be stunned. The light on their bodies also dimmed at this moment.
However, a second later, they emitted a strong light again.
"It can actually communicate with us!" "This is too scary! Someone save me! Hurry! "" No! "" Why do you ask? "
Lin noticed that one of the Earth Mirrors seemed to have overcome its fear, so she asked it a question.
"Did they say anything when they captured you and brought you here?"
"They stuck us here and we can't move! What are you? What are you doing here? "Lin could feel that the Earth Mirror was resisting its fear to communicate with her.
Then, Lin continued to ask it a few more questions. The Earth Mirror said that the soft-bodied creatures didn't do anything to them. They didn't communicate with them. They just stayed here.
So, Lin didn't continue to stay here to scare them. She retracted the spy drill and blocked the hole.
However … Lin also left a few miniaturized soldiers in the cave to continue observing the captured Earth Mirror. Since the spy drill had returned, they were no longer as afraid as before, but they also didn't call for help like before.
Maybe they thought that the spy drill came out because of their call for help?
"What was that thing just now … It was too scary … I want to go home!"
A few of the Earth Mirrors lit up again, but this time it was much dimmer than the previous call for help. They were only communicating with their companions.
While watching them communicate, Lin also kept the spy drill stationary near the cave.
After a while, Lin could feel that the soft-bodied creatures in the surrounding ground were slowly starting to move.
So that's how it is … The soft-bodied creature knows the location of the spy drill by sensing the vibrations in the ground. Therefore, after Lin stopped moving, they might not be able to sense it …
They should have realized that the spy drill was still in that position, but they seemed to ignore the problem and resumed their usual movements.
This was good too. He could observe how the soft-bodied creatures usually moved.
Just like that, Lin waited here slowly.
One of the soft-bodied creatures came this way. They approached the spy drill. However, they didn't touch the drill. Instead, they turned and went into the cave where the Earth Mirror captives were.
"They're back!"
The miniaturized soldiers in the cave saw a large amount of soft material being squeezed out from the cracks in the rock wall. When all the soft material was squeezed out, the soft-bodied creatures that were more than three centimeters long appeared in front of the Earth Mirror captives.
The Earth Mirrors kept flashing, making the entire cave very bright. Lin watched as the soft-bodied creatures slowly approached them, and then one of the Earth Mirrors … lit up.
The soft-bodied creatures … were communicating with the Earth Mirror?
The meaning of the light was: "Why did you come here? Why did you attack this place? "
The soft-bodied creatures were asking the Earth Mirror … They seemed to understand the Earth Mirror's language.
"We came here to attack you!" "We will attack you!" "We will kill you all!" The Earth Mirrors immediately responded, but the content of their responses didn't seem to match their captives' identities.
"Why did you attack this place?" Therefore, the soft-bodied creatures repeated their question.
"We will kill you all!" "We will take your resources!" "You will soon fail, you will soon be destroyed!"
The Earth Mirrors kept shaking and sending out strong messages, but at least they answered the question of why they attacked this place.
The Earth Mirrors seemed to be creatures that were difficult to communicate with, but Lin felt that it would be difficult for normal creatures to understand their language.
Next. The soft-bodied creatures didn't ask any more questions. Instead, they suddenly opened up and enveloped one of the Earth Mirrors in front of them.
"It's going to kill us!" "Help!"
Seeing this, the remaining Earth Mirrors started calling for help. At the same time, the sound of something shattering could be heard from inside the soft-bodied creatures' body.
The Earth Mirror that was enveloped by the soft-bodied creatures was crushed. The rest of the Earth Mirrors stopped glowing. They seemed to be in a state of fear.
However, the soft-bodied creatures didn't shatter any of the other Earth Mirrors. They slowly crawled to the wall and squeezed through the crack in the wall that they had just come in from.
Did it shatter one Earth Mirror just to scare off the other Earth Mirrors? Lin didn't think that was the case. The soft-bodied creatures might have other motives.
Since they didn't spit out the fragments of the Earth Mirrors and just left, Lin decided to … follow them.
With that in mind, Lin had the minions in the cave fly into the crack that the soft-bodied creatures left through. They moved along with the soft-bodied creatures.
The soft-bodied creatures maintained their flat forms and moved slowly underground. They obviously didn't notice Lin's minions following them. After following them for about three thousand seconds, Lin found that they had arrived at another underground cave.
It seemed that there were many such caves underground. Perhaps these were the soft-bodied creatures' … cities.
This cave was much larger than the previous one. It was more than one meter in diameter. There were also many soft-bodied creatures gathered here. In the center of the cave, there was something that looked like a white piece of wood.
This' piece of wood 'was thirty centimeters in diameter. The moment Lin saw it, she knew … that it was also part of the Star Bus's organ.
It stood in the center of the cave like a pillar propping up the cave, but in fact, it seemed to have the status of … 'food'.
Around the organ were many soft-bodied creatures. Just as Lin thought, they hardened a part of their body and scraped off small pieces of the organ … then ate them.
The soft-bodied creature that Lin was pursuing also crawled to the organ. Then, it did something strange. It spat out the broken pieces of the Earth Mirror from its body, picked them up, and stuck them to the organ.
What is it doing?
The other soft-bodied creatures didn't have Lin's doubts. In fact, they didn't care what their companion was doing. They continued to scrape off small pieces of the organ and eat.
Lin watched them eat the organ bit by bit. Suddenly, the fragments of the Earth Mirror that were stuck to the organ slowly sank in.
As if they were being swallowed, they sank into the Star Bus's organ and disappeared.
The other soft-bodied creatures still didn't react. They continued to eat until the cylindrical organ became smaller and smaller. In the end, only a small piece of it was left on the ground.
The soft-bodied creatures originally wanted to continue eating this small piece, but suddenly, they all turned around and crawled away into the crevices of the rock wall.
This was mainly because Lin's spy drill had begun to move in this direction. The moment they sensed it, they ran away and left the small piece of the organ behind without taking it with them.
Then, Lin's drill came here and examined the small piece of the organ.
This organ … was a small part of the Star Bus's digestive organ.
The one that Lin discovered last time was a part of the 'geologic adjustment organ', and this one was a digestive organ. Lin felt that the various organs of the Star Bus might have been divided into many small pieces and then eaten bit by bit.
Could it be that they were eating so casually because of the collapse?
This seemed … possible. But Lin felt that the soft-bodied creatures wouldn't do this because Lin believed that they were 'native' to this place.
If she could find the nervous system of the Star Bus, Lin would definitely be able to find more …
They were coming.
Lin suddenly felt that the soft-bodied creatures underground were rapidly gathering here. This time, they seemed to want to attack Lin's spy drill, which was the complete opposite of what they had been trying to do before.
In that case, Lin felt that she could try to communicate with them. Perhaps …
Bang!
The rock wall beside her suddenly exploded. A huge soft-bodied creature pounced over and wrapped around the spy drill, squeezing it hard.
They … didn't seem to want to communicate.
With this thought in mind, Lin made the spy drill start to spin.
As it drilled, the soft-bodied creatures around it also began to distort and then were shredded by the sharp edges of the drill. At this time, the drill sped up and drilled out of the soft-bodied creature's tight embrace.
Lin looked at the soft-bodied creature that had a hole drilled out of it. It seemed to be severely injured as it kept trembling on the spot. However, more soft-bodied creatures were drilling their way in from the surrounding walls of the cave …
