"Coo …"
They were spheres with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
They were making strange noises and floating in front of Lin's mechanical octopus. The source of these noises was none other than the piece of meat that Lin had seen growing on the ground earlier … transformed into.
Looking at them, Lin also knew where the Swollen Monsters came from.
These creatures seemed to be gelatinous creatures … or at least, they were of the same species. Lin Sanjiu was not sure if they were related to the gelatinous creatures floating on the rocky ground.
They were now flying around in circles, but this only lasted for about ten seconds. Then, Lin saw them all fly towards the moving point.
Then, they all flew into the moving point and disappeared.
The moving point was still active, so these small meatballs had all entered the scholar's room.
This was a strange phenomenon. Did they know that the moving point could move, or were they just attracted by the light of the moving point?
The light of the moving point had nothing to do with the teleportation itself. It was just that when it was connected, it would turn on its light. If they were just attracted, then there was nothing special about these meatballs.
But if they knew that the moving point could move … Lin felt that they were not simply 'captured' here, but came here with a purpose. That was why they knew about the facilities here.
Thinking about this, Lin also entered the moving point.
After returning to the room, Lin found that the meatballs were all on the sofa. Lin also saw that a few of them were on the food placed on the sofa. They seemed to be using their skin to suck some soft food.
They secreted some kind of dissolving liquid to dissolve the food and then absorb it into their skin.
At the same time, Lin also noticed that they were unable to fly in the gravitational environment of the room. They had changed to moving by moving.
Lin's mechanical octopus crawled towards the sofa. The group of meatballs immediately rolled down from the sofa and scattered into various parts of the room.
They purposely hid in very narrow places to avoid Lin's attacks, but Lin still managed to catch one. It had no ability to defend itself and was placed into the tentacle of the mechanical octopus.
As for the rest, she would not care about them.
With that in mind, Lin returned to the excavation site while inspecting the one she caught. She continued to collect materials that could store dream energy under the rock wall.
This meatball was indeed a gelatinous creature, but there were more cells inside.
So, it needed to eat the kind of food that cellular creatures ate, but it did not need to eat a lot. Its structure was also very simple and it had the ability to eject. However, it could not fly in the presence of gravity, so it could only roll on the ground using a muscle-like structure.
Although its structure was simple, it could be detected from its brain cells that it had a purpose.
It wanted to go to a certain place on the battleship. That place could be called … 'reservoir'.
It was the water storage room in the battleship... The water was mainly for the residents, but there were many other creatures besides water..
In addition to the creatures with higher intelligence, the captors also captured many other creatures, including those with no intelligence at all.
Observing their lives was something that the captors had always done, and Lin felt that she should go there and take a look.
Although this meatball wanted to go there, it did not know how to get there. So, it was, of course, of it.
Lin felt that she should wait for a while before going there to take a look. Right now, she needed to gather enough materials.
....
While Lin was thinking that, she noticed that the teleportation point's light had disappeared.
.. Could this be caused by the meatballs in the room?
If they adjusted the entrance to another place, then the movement point here would lose its effect. In that case, the mechanical octopus would be trapped in the excavation site forever. That was impossible.
Lin had the mechanical octopus take out a disk and poked it. The light of the movement point lit up again.
In fact, the entrance to the room could be controlled from the outside, so there was no need to worry about being trapped. But without the disk, it would definitely be trapped.
Then, Lin continued to collect. The collection lasted for more than six thousand seconds. During that time, Lin kept looking at the movement point, but the light did not disappear.
After collecting, Lin returned to the room.
The meatballs here were all gone. It seemed that they had indeed changed the connection point of this room and ran away at that time.
But how did they do it? Did they imitate the Scholar's hand to control the entrance?
Lin thought as she turned on the armor crafting device to create a new … unit.
This unit had a dream energy storage device as a control core. The core would then be used to command the entire body. There were not many materials left. So, she created a smaller unit first.
Originally, Lin wanted to connect the brains of more units from the camp and then control them. But after thinking about it, it did not seem necessary.
All the mechanical units created here could be directly controlled by a single brain connected to Susumi's pom-poms.
Now, Lin first created some ten centimeter-sized … spider-shaped mechanical soldiers.
Lin made ten of them. Then, she sent five to the excavation site and the other five to the corridor outside to collect various armors.
Right now, she needed a large amount of materials to create more units. The armor crafting equipment in the room was not suitable for creating large units. So, Lin planned to first create a lot of small units here. When the time came, she would let them go to other places and … fuse them into large units.
Or, she could use a large number of smaller units to capture the baby Void Bus. After all, once they became larger, they would not be able to enter and leave this room.
So, while the spider units were collecting resources, Lin had the mechanical octopus continue to explore. Now, she would go to the meatballs' target to take a look.
Lin adjusted the movement point of the room to the 'reservoir' and entered the entrance.
After passing through the entrance, the mechanical octopus entered a dark but very clear body of water. Lin had been here before.
But she had only been here for a short while. Now, she was going to start her official exploration.
The water here was very … clean. At least, with Atlan's eyesight, she could hardly see any impurities in the water. At the same time, it was a very vast place. The entire area was underwater. There was no part that could be called 'land'.
This place seemed to have suffered less damage. Lin swam to the bottom of the water and saw that although there were cracks on the ground, they were not big. But there were some strange things on the cracks.
They looked like … seedlings of plants. But they were blood-red in color. They were over one centimeter tall and grew densely on the cracks at the bottom of the water.
The mechanical octopus reached out with its tentacles. Sharp needles extended from the ends of the tentacles. After examining these seedlings, Lin found that they were also … creatures similar to gelatinous creatures.
They were probably related to the meatballs.
Swimming underwater, through the light shining out from her head, she could see that these 'seedlings' were growing everywhere. Some of them had even grown over one meter tall.
Why would they multiply here? Could it be related to the mutation caused by the water ball?
Still, Lin believed that these gelatinous creatures did not mutate from anything here. Instead, they came from the outside.
After swimming for a while, Lin found that apart from the seedlings, there were also many armor plates. There were even whole armor plates that had been taken off.
However, there were no corpses. It was not because they had rotted in the water. Instead, it was because they had all been absorbed by the seedlings.
These seedlings were basically like this. They could grow by absorbing multicellular organisms. Those that grew the largest also absorbed the most. They looked harmless, but they were actually very aggressive.
Although they could not extend their bodies, they could release a poisonous substance. This substance could damage the nervous system of many of the residents here, causing them to sink to the bottom of the water and be slowly dissolved and absorbed.
Lin believed that there were originally many residents here who had gone mad and mutated, but they were all eaten by the seedlings …
As she was thinking, Lin sensed movement not far ahead.
Following this' movement ', the meatball trapped inside the mechanical octopus suddenly became restless. It kept struggling as if it wanted to escape.
It also sensed something.
After moving forward a little, Lin also saw a relatively large object floating in the water ahead.
This object also looked like a piece of meat. It had a diameter of more than three meters. Its shape was not complete, like a piece of meat that was cut off from a huge creature.
And it was surrounded by many meatballs. These meatballs were the ones Lin saw before.
They were swimming in circles around the piece of meat. Lin Huang did not know what they were doing.
The meat was also constantly wriggling. It looked a bit like the swimming method of a creature called a sea hare. This prevented it from sinking to the bottom of the water where the seedlings grew.
But Lin felt that they were of the same species. So, this piece of meat was not trying to prevent itself from sinking. Instead, it was wriggling there for some other purpose.
Looking at them, Lin felt strange …
Originally, she thought that the assassinated Void Bus baby and the group of mutated residents were strange enough. She did not expect an even stranger group of gelatinous creatures to appear.
This was really … interesting.
This meant that they were of great research value. They had completely ignored Lin's mechanical octopus, so Lin should be able to take advantage of this opportunity … to launch a surprise attack on them.
The moment she had this thought, Lin's mechanical octopus rushed forward.
The meatballs in front of her immediately reacted. They all scattered … (~ ^ ~)
