This place was rather cold and dark, with countless fragments floating in the air.
However, there was a considerable number of lifeforms gathered here. Some lifeforms were as hard and cold as the fragments in the surrounding environment.
Some lifeforms were rather soft, as fragile as flesh and blood, but they lived in this environment.
And they seemed to be living quite well …
Lin was currently observing this group of creatures. They were somewhere in the ruins, and the floating objects here were mainly made of rocks.
Most of them were tens of meters in diameter, and these rocks were scattered over an area of hundreds of kilometers.
Of course, not all rocks were floating here. There were also many metals and various fragments, and at the same time, this was also … the residence of the gelatinous lifeforms.
Some of Lin's mechanical spiders had followed the meatball that flew away from the Capturer's warship to this area, and Lin found that they had all flown into the many rocks here.
After a little exploration, Lin also found that quite a number of gelatinous lifeforms lived here. They were widely distributed here, and apart from the meatballs, there were also quite a number of species.
However, they should all be the same group of lifeforms … Lin felt that she could learn more about the 'gravity sphere' and the ruins from them.
Another point was … the group of 'alien lifeforms' that traded with Atlan also lived here.
This group of lifeforms had tried to control Atlan before, but after Atlan abandoned her feelings, they did not try to do so again, but they still kept trading with Atlan.
Lin now had two mechanical spiders on a floating rock with a diameter of ten meters. They were looking at a rock with a diameter of more than thirty meters a hundred meters away.
On top of that rock. There were ten lifeforms. They appeared to be a group of lifeforms with a length of about three meters. They looked very similar to the gelatinous lifeforms, mainly because they were a bright red … piece of flesh, and their bodies appeared to be … symbiotic or parasitic lifeforms living on them.
These lifeforms were the 'alien lifeforms' that traded with Atlan. They also appeared to be a group of gelatinous lifeforms, but they were different from other gelatinous lifeforms.
Lin had read a lot of information about Atlan, and Atlan had also been paying attention to the lifeforms in the surroundings. Of course, they had also observed this group of gelatinous lifeforms living nearby.
According to Atlan's observation. The gelatinous lifeforms rarely left this stone area where they lived, and these alien lifeforms often left this area to go to other places.
Then, they came into contact with Atlan, and the two sides often interacted …
Lin first used Atlan's name to call them 'Mutants'. Lin felt that Mutants were also a member of the gels, just that their actions were a bit special.
Therefore, Lin was going to catch one to take a look.
With that in mind, Lin ordered the mechanical spiders to leave where they were. They slowly took off and flew towards the group of mutants in the distance.
The xenogeneics were all gathered on top of a rock. They looked as if they were in a daze. None of them moved … Even when the mechanical spider floated close to them, they didn't have much of a reaction.
Now. The mechanical spider was floating ten meters away from them. It looked like a piece of meat. Although it did not react, Lin noticed that the creatures on them moved.
Every xenogeneic had many small creatures. Some looked like worms, some looked like arthropods, and some looked like flowers.
These small creatures were all bright red. They looked like they were part of the xenogeneic's flesh, but they didn't grow on it. Instead, they were individual creatures that could move freely.
The closest xenogeneic to the mechanical spider, some of the worm-like creatures on its body raised part of its body and waved it towards Lin.
It felt like they were observing the situation here, but Lin didn't know what kind of method they were using. So … Lin decided to take action first.
Suddenly! A mechanical spider abruptly flew out. It opened all its limbs and instantly grabbed the closest xenogeneic before flying away.
Lin's mechanical spider was three meters in size. It was about the same size as the xenogeneic and was specially made by Lin. The xenogeneic that was being hugged immediately reacted. It kept twisting and turning, trying to escape from the spider's embrace.
But Lin was more concerned about the small creatures on the xenogeneic. Many of the worm-like creatures crawled onto the mechanical spider's limbs and … nibbled on them.
Lin noticed that their … teeth were quite powerful. They seemed to be made of some kind of extremely hard material. They could easily bite open the mechanical spider's outer shell.
Some of the worm-like creatures had already bitten through the outer shell. They drilled into the legs and began to attack from the inside. But they were attacked from the inside.
This was because these large mechanical spiders had many smaller mechanical spiders in their bodies. They were about ten centimeters in size and could move around freely inside. Lin had them gather at the legs to deal with the worm-like creatures. At the same time, she had the mechanical spider extend a sharp object from its mouth and pierce the xenogeneic it had caught.
The sharp object quickly penetrated into the xenogeneic's body and examined its internal structure … Sure enough, as Lin thought, the xenogeneic was a part of the gelatinous creatures. Their structure was the same as other gelatinous creatures.
Bang!
Just as Lin was about to probe its brain, a series of noises were simulated by Lin.
The mechanical spider that caught the xenogeneic had its abdomen blown open. This attack mainly came from the xenogeneics that were still on the rock.
They had been in a daze before, but now they seemed to have woken up.
However, only a portion of them woke up. There were nine of them, and only three of them woke up. However, the attack power of these three seemed to be quite strong. Each of them had a 30-centimeter-sized spherical object floating beside them, and this spherical object was emitting a bright light.
Beep!
A flash of light shot out from the ball-shaped object and accurately hit the mechanical spider that was flying in the distance. The mechanical spider that had most of its abdomen blown up in an instant.
Now, only a few of its metal legs were left holding the xenogeneic …
The xenogeneic that was being held twisted its body to free its remaining legs. It then turned around in the air and flew back to the rock.
It seemed that they were not like the meatballs in the Predator's battleship that could be easily caught. Although their reaction speed was relatively slow, they still managed to fight back and rescue their companion.
And when they attacked, their aim was very accurate. They did not hit their companion at all. Instead, they hit the mechanical spider. But they did not attack the xenogeneic itself, but the floating ball-shaped object next to it.
But what was even more strange was that they only attacked the mechanical spider that flew away. As for the other one that was floating here … They did not care at all.
"Test for understanding, wisdom, and communication methods. If you receive, respond."
Just as Lin was thinking about this, she suddenly received some information.
These messages were sent from the xenogeneic creatures. Because the mechanical spider was equipped with a communication device, it was able to receive them.
This communication device, Lin adjusted to be able to receive Atlan's communication at the same time. It could also receive the communication from the residents in the Predator's battleship.
And the message sent by the xenogeneic creatures belonged to the residents of the Predator's battleship. At the same time, they also used the language of the battleship.
In other words, they were using the mechanical spider as the residents of the battleship to communicate?
With that in mind, Lin replied with a "Received."
"Target received. Communication is unobstructed." At this time, all the xenogeneic creatures on the rock floated up, including the one that was caught. They all floated to the side of the mechanical spider.
"Just now, you, our companion, caused harm to one of our individuals." One of the xenogeneic creatures sent a message: "Regardless of the reason, this behavior can be forgiven."
"It can be forgiven. Be forgiven. We are not angry. You do not need to be afraid. "
These xenogeneic creatures continued to send messages over. They seemed to … have easily 'forgiven' the mechanical spider's attack?
Although they said that they would only forgive if they destroyed it, letting the mechanical spider go without attacking was indeed quite strange.
"But, there is a condition. You can't be forgiven for free. You can't eat food for free. Your life has been fixed by us. "
As soon as they finished speaking, Lin noticed that a sphere floated out from each of their bodies, aiming at the mechanical spider.
"Did you see it? Just now, when your companion was destroyed by the explosion. Without a doubt. We can also destroy you. So, you must obey us. You need to find something useful. Leave it to us. Enough of it. Obtain your freedom. "
… So that's how it is. Seems like they didn't forgive the mechanical spider for free. Instead, they wanted the mechanical spider to do something for them. It seems to be helping them find something, so now they are threatening the mechanical spider.
Seems like they're quite interesting.
"What is something useful?" Lin continued to ask.
"A kind of solid substance. Very long. Under certain circumstances, it will be even longer. Can you tell? " Saying that, another sphere suddenly flew out from behind one of the xenogeneic creatures. This sphere's surface quickly changed color, finally showing a … picture. In the picture, there was a … silver thread.
This is … silver thread?
"Where are these things?" Lin asked.
"Over there." A worm stood up from each of the xenogeneic creatures and pointed in the same direction.
"Go straight there and you'll find them. Quickly go. "
"Why don't you go by yourselves?" Lin continued to ask.
"Don't ask too many questions. You need to go. Otherwise, it's going to explode. "
