Bam!
The sound of an underwater explosion was always rather … muffled.
Lin had just launched a sneak attack on a group of underwater gelatinous creatures. This group of creatures included a three-meter-long piece of meat and a large group of … ten-centimeter-long meatballs.
The moment Lin launched her sneak attack, the meatballs all scattered and escaped. Meanwhile, the piece of meat charged straight at her and collided with the mechanical octopus.
Then, it exploded.
The impact of the explosion caused the mechanical octopus to retreat. Although there were cracks on its shell, it was not seriously damaged.
The exploded piece of meat, on the other hand, broke into pieces and sank to the bottom of the water. Interestingly, Lin noticed that these pieces were not absorbed by the seedlings underwater. Instead, they stuck to the ground and changed shape into new … seedlings.
They had mixed together with the seedlings underwater. As expected, they were the same kind of creatures.
But Lin mainly wanted to know what they were doing here. Lin now felt that they were not simply wild creatures from the outside world. Instead, they had some strange purpose.
More importantly, the moment the group of meatballs scattered, Lin's octopus caught two more.
When Lin put the three meatballs together, she noticed that something special had happened to them. Their … brains had grown some kind of structure.
The brains of the meatballs were cellular, but it was not the cellular structure that controlled their growth.
Simply put, they did not use the 'nucleus' of normal cellular creatures to grow and adjust their bodies. They mainly used other things as a source of information for their growth.
The structure of their cells used other special sources of information to assemble their bodies. This was the main way these 'gelatinous creatures' grew.
The reason they were called gelatinous creatures was that they were not exactly the same as gelatinous creatures, but they were very close.
And this special source of information was scattered in some special parts of their bodies. Although there were many of them, they were not like the nucleus that almost all cells had.
Due to the fact that it was made up of a completely non-cellular structure, Lin had no idea how it worked. However … when Lin placed the three meatballs together, she noticed that the information source in their bodies was sending out some new … commands.
These commands caused their brains to rapidly grow.
One of them stopped growing due to lack of nutrients, but the other two grew a new part of their brain.
This part had memories when it was first constructed. These memories contained a lot of information. Mainly some … missions.
Some of these missions she saw earlier … were to circle around the meatball.
The main purpose of circling was to decompose the meatball. Although it was not obvious on the surface, it was spinning at high speed to create a whirlpool. The surface of the meatball would peel off bit by bit until it broke completely.
Why would they use such a troublesome method to decompose the meatball? And because of Lin's ambush, the mission was blown up, so the mission should not be considered a success.
The memories did not mention this, they only said that after decomposing the meatball, they had to go to another place.
Which was also in this water area. And that was the direction Lin was heading towards …
"… delicious!"
Lin suddenly, Lin heard a voice
"This is too! I will eat all of you! "
This voice came from the communicator, and it was very vague, as if it was speaking underwater.
And the creator of the voice was indeed underwater, right in front of the mechanical octopus.
Twenty meters ahead, Lin saw a creature. It was huge, like a crab. Its shell was two and a half meters wide. It didn't have any armor on its body, but it had a helmet on its head.
Because of its head … or rather, it did not have a head at all. That was why it could not be put on. But the helmet seemed to be working, and the voice was coming from the helmet.
The creature was currently using its forelimbs to pull out the 'seedlings' from the ground. There were many small barbs on its forelimbs. With a sweep of its forelimbs, it could pull out a large number of seedlings from the ground. Then, it would put its forelimbs full of seedlings to its mouth and eat them all.
Lin Lin recognized it. It was the … bug she met in the library earlier.
But now that it had mutated and become so large, it looked more like a crab. And it seemed to be able to live in water.
It was still eating the thing it thought was delicious before, the gelatinous creature.
But the thing it ate before was a meatball. This time, it was eating seedlings that grew underwater. Because the composition was similar, it also thought it was delicious.
"What is this?"
At this moment. It looked at Lin. Lin Lin also heard its voice.
It did not actually make a sound. Some creatures did not have vocal organs and did not use sound to communicate. But since they lived in a place where sound was the main source of communication, these creatures had invented a way to use sound.
Its helmet had such a function. It could directly receive its … thoughts. And then make a sound.
Usually, these creatures knew how to control this function so that other creatures would not be able to hear their 'inner thoughts'. But now … this mutated bug did not know how to control it, so Lin could directly hear what it was thinking.
As long as the helmet was still attached to its head, it would transmit its thoughts through the communicator.
The communicator's sound transmission range was very short, about the same as the transmission range of a normal voice. It was to imitate normal speech, so Lin Lin did not hear it when she was far away. Only when she got closer … and was seen by it, did she hear it.
"Is it delicious? It doesn't look delicious … but I have to try it. No, I have to continue eating these things, eat … "
It seemed to be hesitating whether to attack the mechanical octopus or continue eating the seedlings.
It seemed that it did not have the ability to think and did not remember the mechanical octopus.
"It still tastes bad. I'm not eating."
In the end, it decided to continue eating the seedlings and ignore the mechanical octopus.
But … Lin Lin did not want to ignore it.
Lin's mechanical octopus rushed over and stretched out its tentacles to wrap around the creature's body.
"I'm going to die … I'm going to …" As it struggled, its helmet slipped off and the communicator stopped.
Lin had her tentacles pierce into its shell and used a small probe to examine its brain. Lin Lin felt that it should have some special memories. Although it no longer had any intelligence, it still retained its memories.
… So that's why …
After examining it, Lin Lin discovered something.
