There seemed to be a bigger... organ here.
While the Earth Mirror was attacking the limb cultivators, Lin's exploration team had already reached the depths of the underground. However, as they moved deeper, both the miniature troops and the spy drill suffered a lot of attacks.
The troops were mainly attacked by various kinds of microorganisms, while the ones attacking the drill were soft-bodied creatures.
These soft-bodied creatures found that the spy didn't leave after giving it the Movie Stone, so they were very dissatisfied with it and kept attacking.
So Lin didn't let the spy drill continue to move down. Instead, she created a new type of stone that had the same ability as the soft-bodied creatures.
This type of troop moved completely by changing its shape underground. It didn't drill into the soil at all, but moved through various cracks in the soil, so it didn't cause any vibration, and the soft-bodied creatures didn't seem to notice it.
And when it was still, it could also disguise itself as a stone, so it was still called a stone.
Using this new stone, Lin dived into the depths of the underground … The 'soil' here was very similar to the soil on the pompoms. It was basically made up of biological remains, stone fragments and other things. The only difference was that the soil here was more densely packed with living creatures. Many parts that looked like soil were actually made up of living creatures, and they would be attacked if they tried to drill into it.
However, the stone wouldn't be attacked because it wouldn't push away any soil.
Based on the activity of the soft-bodied creatures around her, Lin understood their general way of life.
At first, the soft-bodied creatures felt like they were moving around randomly, but their movements actually followed a pattern. Almost all soft-bodied creatures would gather in one place …
That was the place Lin was about to see.
After drilling through a crack, the stone's eyes lit up. This was another spacious cave. It was a dark cave, but a luminous object illuminated the entire cave.
It was a huge white 'pillar' more than six meters in diameter in the center of the room.
Many soft-bodied creatures could be seen gathering under the pillar. They were crawling around. It seemed like they were preparing for something.
Lin watched the development of the situation here from the wall. This pillar should be part of the Star Bus's organ, but it was still intact and didn't seem to have been bitten …
It seemed like it would soon become incomplete …
Lin noticed a group of soft-bodied creatures climbing on top of the pillar. Then, at a height of thirty centimeters, it began to … squirm.
As they moved, they slowly dug a hole in the pillar and then went in.
The other soft-bodied creatures also drilled into the pillar one by one, causing a large number of small holes to appear on the pillar. Lin discovered that … a total of a hundred soft-bodied creatures had drilled into the pillar. There were still many soft-bodied creatures under the pillars, but they did not climb up.
Lin had a feeling they were up to something in the pillar, and she had to go and take a look if she wanted to fully understand.
With that in mind, Lin had the pseudo-stone completely come out of the cave wall. Then, she expanded her body and floated into the air.
While doing this, the soft-bodied creature under the pillar in the distance did not notice at all.
This was because Lin had recently discovered that soft-bodied creatures had a way of sensing things. They were not very sensitive to floating objects in the air, and could only sense them if they were in contact with the ground.
However, if he attacked them from the air, he would be able to kill them. Of course, Lin would definitely not attack them now.
Slowly, Lin floated to a height of one meter above the pillar. Seeing that there were still no soft-bodied creatures below, Lin had the mimicry climb down to a height of 30 centimeters above the pillar.
Lin randomly found a hole and went in.
The hole that the soft-bodied creatures drilled out from was quite … smooth. There were no protrusions or gaps in the walls, as though they had been deliberately polished.
As Lin moved deeper in, she examined the structure of this place. This should be the Star Bus's sensory organ.
The Star Bus used this organ to detect the environment inside its body. At the same time, it also had the ability to emit light. Since the Star Bus also had a similar ability to see, it needed light to see clearly.
This organ was quite similar to a nervous organ, but it was not a nervous organ. A sensory organ was not a place for thinking.
After moving forward for about sixty centimeters, Lin discovered that an open area had appeared before her.
This place … appeared to be a cave dug out from the inside. The cave was thirty centimeters wide and over ten centimeters high. A large number of silver threads could be seen hanging down from the ceiling, and the ground appeared to have hardened like a crystal. Moreover, it was shining brightly.
A soft-bodied creature was wriggling on the crystallized ground. Lin noticed that it seemed to be … softening the structure of the ground.
Under the soft-bodied creature's body, the hardened crystallized ground slowly softened and dissolved … as though the soft-bodied creature was changing the nature of this place.
After dissolving the crystallized ground in one place, it would crawl to the next crystallized ground and continue dissolving. Seeing that it still hadn't noticed her, Lin had the mimicry stone extend one of its tentacles and lightly touch the ground.
This crystallized ground … Lin had never seen this kind of structure on her Star Bus. However, this could also be considered a part of the Star Bus. It seemed to be a reaction change.
With that in mind, Lin had the mimicry stone extend one of its sharp tentacles and poked at the crystallized ground.
Instantly, the part that was poked by Lin rapidly hardened. From the outside, it looked like a crystallized ground. Lin felt that this was … a mechanism similar to hardening after being attacked.
Although the Star Bus could no longer think, these mechanisms would naturally continue to operate.
This organ was actually much more complicated than the one Lin had. Although she could still identify the type, it had many functions that Lin had never seen before. Although it felt like a rather simple mechanism, the soft-bodied creature seemed to have a way to dispel this defense mechanism.
How did it dispel it? Did it use something to dissolve it?
The mimicry stone extended its tentacles again and slowly approached the soft-bodied creature that was wriggling its body on the ground. Then, it slightly touched the crystallized ground that was melting under its body …
This seemed to be somewhat … special.
The soft-bodied creature did not use dissolving liquid to dissolve the crystallized ground. Instead, it secreted a special … pheromone. And when the ground structure received this pheromone, it would automatically dispel the hardened ground and begin to rapidly transform itself into a soft-bodied creature.
