A loud noise echoed in front of Lin. It was the sound of two huge objects colliding with each other, two skeleton-like objects. Xiao ≤ say, Le Wen
These 20-meter-tall objects looked like the skeletons of a creature called an elephant. A hundred seconds ago, Lin Luoran had been watching them collide with each other.
Lin called them elephant bones. Although there were all kinds of skeleton-like machines here, these elephant bones were the most numerous.
They were also the only ones that could collide with each other. Lin Luoran still didn't know why they were colliding with each other.
While Lin was thinking, the two elephant bones in front of her collided with each other again. Several parts of one of the elephant bones fell off due to the collision, and half of the long parts pierced into the ground.
They stood on the ground and collided with each other. Lin Luoran also stood on the ground, watching them fight while examining the environment of the Land of the Dream Weaver.
The ground here felt a bit like a swamp. The ground was covered with a silt-like substance and was very soft. The soles of these huge skeleton-like machines must have a special structure, otherwise, they would sink into the ground.
The silt on the ground was also very strange. Lin Luoran noticed that it could evaporate.
Some substances on the surface of the ground would leave the ground under certain circumstances and mix with the air to become floating debris.
This seemed to be the source of the thick fog that covered this world.
There was indeed a small possibility. Perhaps the surface of this world was constantly turning into fine substances like this, causing the fog to grow larger and larger.
However. Why did it become like this?
When the silt on the surface evaporated, some of it would not change its nature. It would simply float up, but some of it would undergo a special change. There were very few special changes, but they would change, as if they had changed from a solid to a liquid.
But there were very few substances that would undergo a special transformation. And the reason for this transformation was related to the micro-machines.
The machines here weren't just the large skeleton-like machines. There were also many micro-machines in the silt on the ground.
They were like microbes that moved in the silt, but there weren't many of them. What made Lin Luoran feel strange was that these micro-machines moved in a similar way to the skeleton-like machines.
They had a main base, which was about one centimeter in size.
Its function was to continuously use the materials collected by the micro-machines to create micro-machines.
Although they had this characteristic, the design and structure of these miniature machines were the same as the ones Lin was familiar with. They were different from skeletal machines.
The skeletal machinery was not made of metal, but of some other mixed materials. There was a big gap between them and miniature machines.
The micro-machinery's mission here was to convert some of the surrounding materials.
What they did was to transform the surrounding matter. Just like what Lin had just discovered, some substances changed from solid to liquid. Or other transformations, they were all done by them.
The micro machine seemed to be doing this to make things float. This was because these things that had been converted could not float before, but after being converted, all of them floated.
It seemed that only after being converted would these substances be affected by the mysterious gravitational force, and some things would float without being converted. The miniature machine would not care about things that were already floating and would only convert things that were not floating.
Each mechanical base was about one centimeter in size and was responsible for an area with a diameter of about one hundred meters.
As for the miniature machines produced by this base, if they were gathered together, their size would not be larger than a sphere with a diameter of one centimeter.
Therefore, their number could not be considered large, but the most important thing was that these miniature machines did not have any fear energy.
They executed a fixed program like skeletal machines, and there was no fear energy to command them, so they could not think or do anything else, and of course, they would not attack Lin.
However, there was a possibility that they could be controlled by fear energy again, just like the bases hidden in the floating rocks.
But now, they were just harmless things.
The pompom was moving slowly on the ground. As it moved, it detected the environment on the ground, and at the same time, it paid attention to the large skeletal machines.
There was an elephant skeleton slowly walking in front of the pompom, completely ignoring the pompom that was right beside it.
At this time, the pompom moved its body slightly and blocked in front of the elephant skeleton. It immediately reacted, but this reaction only allowed it to bypass the pompom and did not do anything to it.
It seemed that these skeletons were the same as the ones flying above. They did not take the initiative to attack, but they might have a self-destruct function.
The pompom did not move it and continued to move forward slowly.
The surface of this world was very flat, there were no mountains or pits, perhaps because the entire world was evaporating at the same time.
Just as Lin was thinking this, a protruding object appeared on the ground in the distance, but it was not a mountain, but a huge, soft, and transparent thing.
This seems to be related to the previous group of creatures.
When the pompom was flying to the surface, it encountered a group of transparent creatures. This group of creatures was very large in number, and they were the first creatures Lin encountered here.
The composition of these creatures was very similar to a substance distributed in the fog. Lin thought that they were local creatures, and in fact, their composition was very similar to the frost-type creatures. They were creatures of the same origin.
When the pompom was about to reach the ground, they suddenly left quickly, as if they had encountered some kind of danger. They had been following the pompom all this time.
But Lin had not encountered any danger until now. Perhaps this danger was only directed at them.
What Lin saw now seemed to be their nest. It was cylindrical in shape, and in fact, it looked very similar to the stone pillars Lin saw on the surface of the fog, but it was very transparent and soft, and much smaller than the stone pillars. It was only about 30 meters tall.
Flying around it were the same kind of creatures that Lin had seen before. Because they were long, Lin temporarily called them Transparent Eels.
The Transparent Eels were only about a meter long, and they were flying around in large numbers. When the pompom approached, they all flew towards it.
The round object behind them that looked like a nest was constantly twisting, and every time it twisted, it would release a large number of Transparent Eels.
These Transparent Eels were about 30 centimeters long, which was much smaller than the one-meter long ones, but they were still mixed together with the larger ones and rushed towards the pompom.
Because she had examined their composition before, Lin knew very well what kind of attack they would use. The pompom quickly extended a large number of hairs and caught every Transparent Eel that flew over.
There were a total of 76 Transparent Eels, but that wasn't all of them, because the cylinder in the distance was still releasing more Transparent Eels.
They looked like they had split from the cylinder, and as their number increased, the pompom began to move forward. When it reached the front of the cylinder, it extended a large number of hairs to wrap around it.
The moment it was wrapped around, the pompom struggled even harder. Lin had already begun to examine the structure of this thing.
So that's how it is. This cylinder really could be considered a nest, but more accurately, it was a specialized reproduction unit, because it could split and produce a large number of Transparent Eels.
These Transparent Eels started out as 30-centimeter long babies, and would probably grow to about a meter in length after a while.
What Lin was concerned about was the organs inside its body, such as the organs for thinking.
Normally, Transparent Eels had a brain inside their body, because they were similar to frost-type creatures, Lin was able to analyze them. However, the structure of the brain was very simple, and it didn't store a lot of information.
But this cylinder had a brain inside, and it stored a lot of memories.
While Lin was thinking, she suddenly heard a noise coming from afar.
Through the dense fog, Lin could see a large elephant bone rapidly approaching her, and it was getting faster and faster. Lin's pompom grabbed the cylinder and moved a bit to the side, but the elephant bone also changed direction and continued to crash into the pompom.
It seems that its target was the pompom. For some reason, it decided to attack the pompom. Could it be because of this cylinder?
The pompom flew up from the ground with the cylinder. The elephant bone didn't have the ability to fly, so it stopped in place, but the huge skeleton still stared closely at the pompom.
Inside its skeleton, there was a glowing red object that looked a bit like an eye.
Lin hadn't studied the elephant bone before, so she wasn't too sure about its structure. In short, she decided to study this Transparent Eel cylinder first.
Its body had a lot of complicated organs, but it was still a frost-type creature, but its body had a lot less water content compared to the other frost-type creatures.
Lin first searched for its oldest layer of memories, and found that it seemed to have lived here since a very long time ago.
At the time, the surface of this place wasn't so deep, and the fog wasn't so thick.
However, these weren't its own memories, but rather the memories of its ancestors.
They had a tradition of inheriting memories, but they didn't seem to benefit from it too much. Lin, on the other hand, could benefit a lot from this.
In its oldest memories, it was possible to see through the fog and see the stars. [To be continued]
