"What is this … it's so unpleasant! Your cries … are so unpleasant, do you know that?! "
Following Beeru's angry shout, a shriveled … head flew up.
"All of you, shut up!"
Beeru slashed one of the shriveled creatures in half before moving on to the other creatures.
Seeing this, the other creatures seemed … terrified and they screamed even louder.
Lin knew that this was a type of brainwave attack. They sent a signal directly to the brain, creating a 'sound' of screams.
However, the effect was not very good for Beeru.
Beeru slashed the shriveled creatures one by one. When they saw their companions being slashed in half, they no longer screamed and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, Beeru chased after them. However, an even larger … shriveled creature blocked its path.
This creature … had the body of an adult Ershi Min, but it was actually a shriveled Ershi Min.
It held a stone-like weapon in its hand, which blocked Beeru's slash.
"Hmph, do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you're pretending to be a moving corpse?" Beeru kicked the shriveled creature between its legs. The creature seemed to be in pain as it knelt on the ground. Then, Beeru chopped off its head.
When the other shriveled creatures saw this, they fell into a state of panic. They all fled in an instant, not a single one of them remaining.
Lin walked over to the shriveled creatures that Beeru had slashed … and examined their body structure.
This … was quite interesting.
They were indeed Ershi Min. To be precise, they were Ershi Min that had been turned into shriveled corpses. The reason they could move was because their original … bones had been replaced.
They had been replaced with a different material, but they still had joints and could move.
Because of this, they were able to move. Lin then checked the manual, but did not find any records of these creatures.
It was hard to say where these shriveled creatures had come from. Lin felt that they might be the creations of other creatures.
Or perhaps they were dreamscape creatures.
There was some dreamland energy here, which had affected Bilu earlier. These shriveled creatures also had it … Furthermore, there were structures in their bodies that should be able to store dreamland energy.
However, there was no way to do a detailed examination with Veronica's cells. Lin could only take some small pieces and put them into the protective suit for examination. She couldn't release the cells to examine the whole body.
"Are we still going to continue? Veronica? "
"… Let's contact the exhibition hall first." Lin glanced at the car parked not far away and used the communication device in the protective suit to try to contact the exhibition hall.
Lin wanted to ask them if they had any flying devices … It would be much easier if they could fly. Previously, they had only moved on the ground because they wanted to see the various creatures here.
But right now, Lin felt that safety was more important.
"… I can't contact him."
It seemed that the communication system and the car's AI system were both malfunctioning.
"It seems that we can't contact him." Bi Lu said, "If that's the case, let's continue driving."
And so, Lin and Bilu got back into the car and continued moving forward …
The valley filled with dreamland energy was still filled with sharp stone pillars, but Lin managed to avoid them … But as the car moved forward, they found that the surrounding rock walls were getting higher and higher.
The car slowly drove deeper and deeper into the valley.
At the same time, they could also see something strange on both sides of the valley …
"What is this?!"
Following Bilu's shout, Lin stopped the car … because they could see that under one of the rock walls, there was something that looked like … a wooden pillar.
There were some … bubbles stuck on the pillar.
Because it was very strange, Lin got out of the car and walked up to the pillar. After inspecting it, Lin found that it was not made of wood. It was just a substance that looked like wood.
As for the bubbles stuck on it … they really were bubbles.
To be precise, it was a layer of transparent substance that contained air.
Although it appeared very weak and transparent, it was in fact very tough. Even if one were to poke it with force, it would not burst.
It felt like it was made with a very high level of technology … but it should be possible to pierce through it with a sharp object.
"Student Veronica, they have appeared again!"
Following Bilu's shout, Lin noticed that a large group of … shriveled creatures had appeared before them.
This group of shriveled creatures stood about 30 metres away from the car. They stood there and kept dancing, but … none of them ran over.
It felt as though they were trying to lure Lin and Bilu over.
"Are they dancing over there?" Bilu asked. "Student Veronica, should we go deal with them?"
"… … …" Lin did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the group of shriveled creatures before them.
Lin noticed that one of them was not dancing. Instead, it was using … sign language.
Because Lin had investigated it before, she knew that it was the sign language of the Ershi Min.
It meant 'follow us, our companions are here'.
Lin felt that they might have been the ones who attacked the research station. Then, they captured some of the Ershi Min there.
However, it might be dangerous to follow them …
Even though it was dangerous to stay here, it was still very dangerous.
There were many cracks of different sizes on the surrounding rock walls. A large number of shriveled creatures had appeared from these cracks.
Most of them were small in size. However, there were also some that were as tall as an adult Ershi Min.
They slowly surrounded the car … this caused Bilu to raise her blade once more.
However, this time, Lin stopped her.
"Let's follow them and have a look."
Lin drove the car forward. At the same time, she made some sign language responses to the shriveled creature …
After seeing Lin's sign language, it seemed to have agreed. The shriveled creatures did not attack them. Instead, they surrounded them and … escorted Lin and Bilu forward.
"The temperature here seems to be … getting higher."
As they moved forward, the surrounding temperature slowly rose to a point where even water could no longer freeze them. This could be seen from the notifications in their protective suits.
Additionally, Lin also noticed that this place had become darker. The walls on both sides had closed up, making it so that the starlight could no longer reach this place … however, some lights had lit up around them.
Something that looked like lanterns had appeared below the walls on both sides. Additionally, there were many bones piled up around the lanterns.
Many of them were Ershi Min bones. However, there were also some other creatures …
