White Paste was a very strange thing. Lin now knew that it was a type of nutrient structure that contained the energy needed by many creatures. Lin used to rely on consuming this kind of food to grow up, and there seemed to be quite a lot of it in the water. However, as the number of creatures increased, the amount of White Paste also decreased, to the point where it could no longer be found in the ocean.
Later on, the creatures also changed to consuming other creatures in the vicinity, no longer relying on White Paste to survive.
But why would it be inside the creator's nutrient storage room? Could it be?
Lin immediately ordered Red Pompom to search the surroundings. Very soon, Lin found an olive-shaped organ about a meter tall in the middle of the White Paste pile. This organ had many small holes on it, and from these small holes, bits of White Paste were constantly ejecting. These bits of White Paste were collected by a type of microorganism nearby, and after accumulating enough, they formed the White Paste that Lin saw around her.
And this organ wasn't just here, Lin also discovered that this organ was everywhere. After Lin had the red pompoms drill into it to conduct a preliminary investigation, Lin guessed that this organ should be some sort of energy converter.
Lin believed that after the tree trunk absorbed land creatures, all the nutrients would be transferred to a deeper part of the ground, where they would be crushed, compressed, decomposed, and transformed. After going through multiple steps, these nutrients would be turned into white paste.
She didn't know why the creator did this. Perhaps it wasn't only for its own consumption, but also to feed other symbiotic creatures. This was because symbiotic creatures had a very high absorption rate of White Paste. Generally speaking, a symbiotic creature would only be able to digest a portion of the food it ate, while the rest would be released as excrement. However, if it ate White Paste, it would be able to absorb a large portion of it without producing any waste. This energy efficiency was especially good. For example, eating 1 kg of White Paste was the same as eating 10 kg of meat.
However, it was quite strange that the creator would create something like this. Lin felt that she should carefully study how it was created.
But the current situation was a bit strange. The creator was constantly creating White Paste, while a large number of Sword Fleas were continuously transporting White Paste. This wasn't a normal situation.
Furthermore, while Lin was searching, she also discovered a few other strange things on the ground. There were a large number of microorganisms living on the ground here. And Lin had seen some of these microorganisms before.
But what she saw weren't living, but fossils.
Lin had seen these microorganisms in fossils before. At first, Lin wasn't sure if they were living creatures or not, but after seeing a real living creature, she was certain.
And this fossil came from a meteorite.
It was rare to see a fossil inside a meteorite, but Lin had seen it before. But why was there a living microorganism in this place? Could it be that the fossil inside the meteorite wasn't a real fossil, but something that was petrified by the creator?
But that meteorite, it was a meteorite that fell from the sky.
Not only that, Lin noticed that the structure at the base of the tree and the structure of the room where the white paste was stored were not common materials. In fact, it was similar to the composition of some meteorites.
In that case, Lin could almost guess what kind of creature its creator was. As expected, it wasn't an ordinary creature. Its origin might be very special, and if she studied its structure, she might be able to find its origin.
But where should he start his research?
Currently, these microorganisms of the meteorite of the meteorite of the meteorite of the meteorite of the meteorite. , to be, to cleanly, to clean, to clean to clean to be used to clean to clean to be used to clean.
Let's take a look at how it produces the white paste first.
Lin had the smaller red velvet balls drill into the organ that made the white paste, then followed the tubes inside to observe the structure and study it.
Sure enough, this was a huge organ, the structure that released the white paste outside was only a small part of it, and there was an even more complex structure deeper inside.
Even deeper inside, this organ was constantly transporting a large amount of nutrients, Lin discovered. These nutrients seemed to be raw materials made from the remains of various living creatures. They were compressed inside a huge sac-like structure and decomposed by a large number of microorganisms.
Lin discovered that these microorganisms were the same as the meteorite microorganisms outside, but they had a different function here. They seemed to be the key organism to synthesize the white paste, devouring the raw materials. And then reorganizing the raw materials.
This process was quite interesting, and she needed to study it carefully to understand its process.
There were also some red velvet balls that continued to swim deeper. Lin wanted to see the complete appearance of this organ. The organ was quite large, Lin discovered that it was at least a few dozen meters long, and there were many of them. The red velvet balls in the middle found that this organ also had the function of absorbing raw materials. Most of the raw materials were absorbed by this organ, leaving only a small portion to be made into white paste.
This white paste seemed to be specifically for the symbiotic organisms, while the creator directly consumed the raw materials. Indeed, the creator's digestive ability was much better than the symbiotic organisms'.
Aside from the Sword Flea, there were many other symbiotic organisms inside the creator's body, some of them were hard to distinguish, but they had many uses.
However, what Lin was most concerned about was the absorption rate of this organ. It was constantly transporting raw materials from the bottom and was absorbing them at an insane rate. Lin believed that the 'creator' itself shouldn't need so many nutrients, as it had already consumed enough nutrients when it first awakened, and these raw materials should be stored for later use.
But why was it still absorbing the nutrients? Lin had some red pompom balls track these nutrients that were being absorbed. Finally, she saw that these nutrients were being transported to the nearby roots underground. Through absorbing these nutrients, these roots began to grow even further, the number of cells in their bodies was constantly increasing, forming more and more muscle-like structures while also growing as a whole.
They continued to grow by absorbing these stored nutrients, and there might be hundreds or even thousands of these nutrient absorbing organs underground!
Could it be?
Seeing this, Lin thought of a possibility. So the destruction that the Sword Flea's brain mentioned was referring to this? Because Lin destroyed the brain, for some reason, the creator began to absorb its own stored nutrients without restraint, and then its body began to grow rapidly.
If this continued, the entire continent would collapse.
