The ground was filled with smoke and dust.
"Most of it has been cleared."
This smoke and dust was formed by countless fragments, and these fragments originally belonged to some very large objects … … objects synthesized by micro-machines.
Previously, the micro-machines wanted to use this method to attack, but they had all been reduced to dust.
"But we still need to continue clearing them."
What blew these machines to dust was the large pieces of flesh in the sky. Not long ago … … the gel's army arrived here.
The moment they appeared, they bombarded all the objects on the surface of this world that contained fear energy. They were completely different from Lin. They had no intention of studying this place, they only wanted to clear the fear here.
However, under Lin's … … request, they appeared a little later. Originally, they would have arrived earlier and cleared everything here.
If they had arrived earlier, Lin might not have been able to obtain the transmission organ for fear energy, and the fear energy and machines here might have escaped.
However, Lin was still not sure if the one they obtained was the only thing they could use to transmit energy.
Now, the gel's army had spread out in the sky. They would fly to every corner of this world and blow up all the fear on the surface.
Because the micro-machines here were not very … … powerful, Lin probably did not need to join them. Therefore, the matter of fighting was left to the gel's army. Lin only needed some troops to follow them and observe.
Lin's attack stone was still left next to the mountain. This mountain had been destroyed earlier, but the missiles inside were all taken out by Lin.
They were all taken out together. And the … … country bumpkins inside.
Although she did not completely save them. She had saved quite a few. Lin wanted to know if they could re-establish civilization in this world if the fear in this world disappeared. So, she needed more individuals to survive.
Because Lin still did not know how to create these creatures, there were some … … details that she did not fully understand.
However, Lin's understanding of these 'cold stone creatures' was almost at the level of cellular creatures.
Now that these country bumpkins were taken out, they still maintained their previous attitude and fearlessly attacked Lin. So, she first made a … … prison to trap them.
After that, what Lin needed to do was to examine this collapsed mountain. Lin was very curious about how the micro-machines attacked this mountain. Because she could not sense any fear energy in the surroundings, they might have snuck in somehow, or … …
In short, there were many possibilities. Therefore, Lin had already sent many … worm-type troops into the collapsed mountain.
They quickly moved through the cracks between the rocks and had already reached the depths of the mountain.
Here it is. Lin found traces of the explosion, as well as … some small tunnels.
They were indeed very small. These tunnels were only a few centimeters in diameter, and the largest was ten centimeters. However, they led deep into the ground, as if something had deliberately dug them out.
These narrow tunnels were also suitable for Lin's worm troops to move forward, so Lin had the worms move deeper into the tunnel.
The tunnel could have been dug by micro-machines. They only needed to dig a very thin path and then assemble explosives or something when they were close to the foot of the mountain.
Perhaps this was how they ambushed them, but … Lin didn't find any traces of micro-machines in the tunnel. Instead, she found many traces of … frost-type creatures.
This is what they excrete, a fine grainy substance that is abundant in every tunnel.
It seemed that there were many miniature frost-type creatures living here … But there were only traces of them, and no living individuals.
After drilling for about a hundred meters, the fastest worm found a … special place.
At this place … there was … a crystal.
It was the kind of crystal that the Core Protector found here. However, there was no Core Protector among these crystals. It was a kind of mineral that was originally here.
As the worms moved forward, Lin found that this place contained a large number of these crystals. The worms that came from other tunnels also found the same thing when they reached the same depth.
There seemed to be a lot of this substance here. Lin had a feeling that this substance might not be … 'natural'.
After some examination, Lin had a feeling that they were created by something … Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, when she came into contact with these crystals and entered the dreamscape, she would find that they were neatly arranged spaces inside.
Lin had a feeling that this should be related to the Core Protector as well.
Therefore, Lin sent more … larger worms underground. Lin decided to fully understand the structure of the underground crystal, such as how big it was and how it was formed.
Apart from the angry worms and country bumpkins, there was another … civilization here, or rather, something special that created these Core Protectors.
From the historical description of the angry worms … the angry worms originally worshiped these crystals, but they didn't specifically worship any creature.
But according to their records, Lin could find that the crystals were a very special thing. They often appeared on the surface in a special form. This was the reason why the angry worms worshiped them in the first place.
Another point was that the angry worms could use the crystals to heal some of their mental problems … This made the crystals very useful for the angry worms.
But at some point, they suddenly found a … creature inside the crystals. They felt that this creature had a bad influence on the crystals, so they had been studying how to expel it.
The angry worms did succeed in expelling the creature inside the crystals. After that, the fear energy came. Lin felt that … there was something wrong with this.
While Lin was thinking, one of Lin's worms discovered something new.
The worm drilled into a relatively open cave. The entire cave was 30 meters in diameter, and the walls were completely made of crystals.
If there was light inside, the entire cave would be very dazzling. But Lin was more concerned about something inside the cave. The ground of this cave was covered in … silk threads.
They were very small, but they were densely packed here. It felt like … fungi. But the environment here was obviously not suitable for fungi.
So, Lin had the worm examine these silk threads. Lin found that the inside of the silk threads … was hollow, and there were micro-machines inside.
These were micro-machines that hadn't been activated. They were squeezed inside these silk threads, which were only one millimeter thick … Lin felt that they would move because of the fear energy.
But they didn't seem to be a threat at the moment. So, Lin first released some of the micro-machines to … dissect them.
Lin dissected the micro-machines. Lin also had the micro-machines move along the silk threads. Lin soon found that all the silk threads had a 'gathering point' under this crystal cave.
At this gathering point, all the silk threads were coiled together. A large number of silk threads were coiled into a ball of thread with a diameter of more than one meter.
Many of the silk threads extended from other places and didn't grow above the crystal cave. But they were all gathered in one place. At the same time, there was a large number of micro-machines in this place.
All the micro-machines were in an inactive state. And these micro-machines were a little … strange.
Although they weren't moving, most of them were in a certain posture. It was not the usual resting posture.
To put it simply, these micro-machines appeared to be in the middle of a fierce battle. Then, they suddenly froze. This was a phenomenon that Lin … had seen before.
In fact, after removing the fear energy from the micro-machines, they would suddenly stop moving like this. It would appear as if they had been frozen.
The micro-machines here should have suddenly had their fear removed. And the thing that removed their fear was at the center of this ball of silk threads.
It was a Core Protector.
At the center of the ball of silk threads was a small piece of crystal. And inside the crystal, Lin found a Core Protector … it was almost the same as the one she found before. It was a Core Protector that didn't affect the thoughts of other creatures.
However, it was slightly different from the other Core Protectors. Mainly … its personality.
"What? You are something that can be protected? "
When Lin entered the dream and saw it, it said … something that Lin was familiar with. Lin didn't answer that question. Instead, she asked it what had happened here.
"This place used to be filled with things that couldn't be protected," the Core Protector replied. The Core Protector replied, "But now, everything here can be guarded, so I will guard this place for a very, very long time … Forever."
Lin asked: "Then, do you want to leave this place and go to another place that can be protected?"
"Another place that can be protected?" the Core Protector immediately said: "I want to go!"
Then, Lin took it away. If she saw this kind of Core Protector, Lin would definitely take them away. That way, it would be easier to study them.
Furthermore, she could use them to do other things, such as healing or something.
After Lin had some worms dig it away, she continued to explore this place. Lin used many micro-machines to follow the threads in different directions.
These threads extended to many places, and they were all filled with micro-machines.
Lin sensed that the micro-machines had invaded this place before. However, because their fear energy had been removed, they remained motionless.
Because there were so many of them, Lin felt that there should be more Core Protectors here. At the same time, they should be able to discover … the reason why they invaded this place.
Normally, fear energy would ignore all kinds of local creatures. Unless … it felt threatened by a creature, it would send out troops to attack the target. There must be something underground … that the fear energy was concerned about. (To be continued.)
