Could this be … a radish?
This was … on the Star Bus.
Lin was paying attention to the exploration of various creatures, including … the Scholar.
Recently, the Scholar had sent her some information about a creature called the Three-Legged Pillar. It was just some cell information. Lin then realized that the nuclear information of this Three-Legged Pillar was very similar to the radish that Lin knew.
It was the creature with three genders that Lin had found on the moon and then raised in the meteorite area.
They were still living in the meteorite area and continued to jump from meteorite to meteorite. The meteorite area was quite far from the abandoned pipeline of the Transpirator project. Even if one flew for 108,000 years, one might not be able to reach it.
However, the nuclear information of these two creatures was similar enough to allow them to reproduce. Although they were not of the same species, they were very "close" to each other.
Just like the relationship between the Humerus Dragon and the Emerald Dragon, the Three-Legged Pillar could be considered a subspecies of radish. Lin felt that there were many reasons why there were radishes in the pipeline.
Lin did not keep an eye on every radish in the meteorite area. They might have gone to the abandoned pipeline for some reason. Another reason was that … the radish creatures that Lin knew came from the abandoned pipeline.
This was not impossible. Radishes were originally on the moon where the creators gathered. They might be creations of the creators, and the nuclear information of the creators' creations came from various species in the Void.
However, they were so far away, and if they had been isolated for too long, their nuclear information would not be so similar. Therefore, Lin felt that this was still worth investigating …
Moreover, these radishes were doing strange things. The Three-Legged Pillar had a device that could detonate landmines, and it attacked the Scholar and the Dustcrocodile. This was also very strange.
They were not wild creatures, but creatures with combat abilities. Were they … subordinates of some creature? Or were they highly intelligent and could fight on their own?
The Scholar did not dissect the Three-Legged Pillar. She felt that if she went too far, it might attract other Three-Legged Pillars to attack … After all, although she did not know the reason, the other Three-Legged Pillars had all left, and the Scholar decided not to attract them back.
This was a good opportunity, and the Scholar took advantage of it. She also wanted to see the building, so she left with the Dustcrocodile.
After entering the building, the Scholar encountered many more strange things, such as … some strange creatures.
The Scholar was now dealing with these creatures.
…
Bang! With a loud noise, a creature was sent flying, slamming into the wall, and then falling to the ground.
"This is the tenth one." The Scholar looked at the mummified creature and breathed a sigh of relief.
There were too many of them. These things … The scholars temporarily called these creatures' sand bones'. They looked like dried corpses, but they were also dried corpses.
At the very least, the scholars did not know what they were. The name mainly represented their characteristics. The 'Sand Bones' appeared to be a layer of dry material, but it was actually a layer of sand stuck together. Inside the sand was a skeleton with six limbs.
The skeleton was not made of metal, nor was it the skeleton of a cellular organism. It was a relatively soft material. There was no electric current and no control system that the scholars could identify. Therefore, the scholars had no idea how it moved.
Although the Sand Bone looked like it had a head, its head was actually made up of sand. There was nothing inside. This thing was much weirder than the three-legged pillar from before.
He could be considered a scholar. It was common knowledge that the creatures in the periphery were not living creatures, but it was hard to say whether they were living creatures or not. When he saw them move, the scholar felt as if he was watching a toy move without any control system.
This could trigger the scholar's fear.
Coupled with their actions, the scholars were even more fearful of them.
Because the Sand Bones would not attack directly, they would usually lie on the ground without moving. When the scholar was about two meters away from them, they would suddenly scream and jump at the scholar.
Although they were relatively weak and did not have any attack power that could harm the scholar, this strange sound and their strange structure could scare the scholar.
To put it simply, it was like watching a horror movie. You knew the things in the movie could not hurt you, but you were still scared.
Therefore, the scholar kept following behind the Dust Crocodile.
The Dust Crocodile was much calmer. It completely ignored the Sand Bones. Even if a Sand Bone would jump at it, it would just slam into it and send it flying.
As long as it was hit harder, it would not get up again. Therefore, the scholar believed that this thing must have a life system similar to that of a common creature. It was just that they could not detect it yet.
Following the Dust Crocodile, the scholar walked deeper into the building. Other than the Sand Bones that littered the ground, there was also … a white metal floor, a collapsed table, and some mechanical wreckage.
The scholar believed that these mechanical wreckage were all parts of the Dust Crocodile. However, they were so badly damaged that they could no longer identify what parts they were.
The strangest thing was the Sand Bones. Why were they here? Why were they lying on the ground without moving? Why did they attack?
The scholar thought that this was too strange …
The Dust Crocodile seemed to be used to all this. It did not look anywhere else. It led the scholar to a room in the building.
This room looked like a … herbarium or something.
There were transparent jars everywhere. The jars were filled with liquid. Some things that looked like the organs of cellular creatures floated in them.
This was quite similar to the specimen room of the Voidfolk. It was almost the same.
Usually, specimens were very valuable things. However, the Dust Crocodile did not respect them at all. As it led the scholar through the room, it kept slamming into the jars, spilling the liquid and organs all over the floor.
Then, the Dust Crocodile would observe the spilled organs for a while before moving on.
The scholar also inspected the organs. Some of them were real organs, and some of them looked like models.
Although the room was full of organs, the scholar thought it was better because there were no Sand Bones that could make strange noises.
In the end, the Dust Crocodile broke dozens of jars of specimens. It seemed that the Dust Crocodile finally found … an organ that it was satisfied with.
It swallowed the innards in one gulp and swallowed them into its mechanical chest cavity.
