"Veronica, are we going back now?"
Lin and Bilu … were walking through a large graveyard.
Neatly arranged stone steles could be seen everywhere. The stone steles were also engraved with what appeared to be words.
Lin also noticed that there were more than just a large number of stone steles here.
If they were to dig up the stone steles, they would be able to see … skeletons.
The skeletons of the Ershi Min. However, only a part of it remained. It might be a leg bone or a skull.
Clearly, the graveyard they created was not perfect. But why would there be such a graveyard here?
Lin believed that it had something to do with the miners who were captured.
Ever since … that creature began to discuss matters related to civilization with them, a large number of buildings began to emerge from the surroundings.
Although there were already some buildings, they were very few in number. The large number of stone buildings formed a village after the discussion about civilization.
Lin believed that it was not just a village. There might be more things related to the Ershi Min here. For example, the graveyard here and the … forest of stone pillars filled with skulls.
This was likely an environment created by the creatures here after understanding the Ershi Min's civilization. Moreover, they had created … an environment that was very frightening for the Ershi Min.
It was likely to make them feel fear. Or perhaps … to study fear.
There were many types of creatures that studied the Ershi Min. Lin believed that rats and undead bugs were among them. However, the most important one … the creature that discussed civilization with the Ershi Min was unknown.
In the memories of the Ershi Min, the parts related to it were very vague … regardless of what was discussed, or what the creature's figure was, they were all unclear. They only knew that it was discussing the Ershi Min's civilization.
There were still many unknowns here. Lin intended to fully understand them. And so … she left this place together with Bilu.
Lin believed that as long as they were in this environment, there might be creatures like the rats from before. So, they needed to leave this place first. The next one … seemed to have arrived.
Lin and Bilu walked out of the graveyard. After stepping out of the edge of the graveyard, Lin saw a vast wasteland of broken stones. This place appeared to be quite normal.
"Wow, we finally left those gloomy places!" Bilu said. "This place looks much better than the previous one!"
This place indeed … seemed to be separated from the previous one.
Moreover, the light mosquitoes did not appear here anymore.
Previously, whether it was in the village or in the graveyard, there were always many light mosquitoes flying around.
According to Ershi Min's memories, the light mosquito was originally their detection machine, which was quite interesting.
He didn't know who or why … modified the light mosquitoes to make them look like local creatures.
"…" Lin placed the Ershi Min, which she had been using to examine her memories, beside her. Then … she began to observe the situation in the distance.
Earlier, when they were walking over, Lin had used some of her cells to make small pompoms. She had those pompoms … … float to the 'prison' where the Ershi Min were kept.
Here, he could still see … the corpses that littered the floor of the prison.
There were also a large number of rats here. They were not only in the building, but also on the surrounding streets and houses. There were quite a number of these creatures.
Moreover, they had no intention of cleaning up the corpses.
Lin wanted to use these corpses as nutrients because there were no cellular organisms here, so she had to collect these nutrients.
Otherwise, they would need some other … slower methods to create more troops.
However, Lin did not act quickly. Instead, she paid attention to the rats.
These creatures appeared to be … … just strolling around. However, Lin noticed that a few of them were doing something special.
Lin noticed that some of the rats were shoveling away … … the pile of rocks in front of the stone house.
After shoveling away the rocks, the Ershi Min's face was still there. Next, they would cut the face into pieces.
Then … … they would move on to the other piles of rocks.
Lin Sanjiu did not know why they were doing that.
Lin was curious to see … … if the creature that was discussing civilization with the Ershi Min would come here again.
According to her memories, it would come here once in a while. Now, it was about time.
Although it was possible that the rats had given the order to kill off all the Ershi Min miners, Lin felt that there was still a possibility that it would appear here.
That … … was it it?
Lin noticed a creature that was slightly different from the rats on one of the streets.
The only difference was its size. It was more than two meters tall. Because it stood upright, it was taller than most of the Ershi Min.
As for its appearance, it was also a two-limbed rat. It appeared that it could also extend a blade from its head. Like the smaller rats, its head had a large opening, which should be used to eject weapons.
It did not appear to be able to speak the Ershi Min's language. However, Lin still paid attention to it.
As the large rat moved, the surrounding rats followed behind it. They all moved towards the building filled with corpses.
They slowly walked to the entrance of the building. The large rat used its head to slowly push open the outer door. Then, it walked in with the smaller rats, closed the door, and slowly pushed open the second floor.
They all paid close attention to the opening and closing of the door to prevent air from leaking out.
Because the building was now transparent, Lin was able to see the situation inside from the outside.
After the large rat entered, all the smaller rats began to do one thing. That was … … digging.
They used the vibrating blades from their heads to begin sawing on the ground. Although this shape was suitable for cutting and not drilling, they still worked together to dig holes in the ground.
It would appear that the ground was not solid.
However, the Ershi Min that was trapped here had no intention of digging out.
Suddenly, Lin noticed … … a cloud of smoke drifting over.
Lin's pom-poms were observing from a position of over 30 meters above the building. Lin suddenly noticed that a cloud of smoke had drifted over.
And it was still drifting over … …
This type of smoke appeared to be produced by the local creatures … … even the collapse of the building. Lin had not carefully studied what it was. Now, she could carefully study it.
As the cloud of smoke slowly approached, Lin felt … … cold.
The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped even lower, even though it was already very low.
