"It's been caught!" "Should we go save it?" "What the hell is that?"
They were in a cavern on the surface of a planet.
This cavern seemed to lead to the nervous system.
However, not long ago, the leader of the Ershi Min, Norm, had been dragged into the depths of the cavern by something that looked like a claw.
The Ershi Min here had all fallen into a state of … hesitation.
Fear and panic had taken over their minds, and they couldn't decide what to do.
Fortunately, this hesitation only lasted for a few seconds.
They all understood that in a situation like this … they could only survive by following the leader. Thus, they began to move.
"We … should chase after it!"
Under the lead of an Ershi Min, all the Ershi Min gripped their weapons tightly and advanced into the depths of the cavern.
Not far from them, the leader was being dragged down by the 'claw'.
This claw was much bigger than the Ershi Min's hand. It looked like the claws of monsters in movies, and it was very long. It grabbed the leader's waist tightly and quickly retracted into the depths of the cavern.
The leader's protective suit kept rubbing against the ground because it was being dragged. All kinds of gravel and small objects kept hitting it, but even so, it was still in a very calm state. It pulled out a … dagger from its waist and stabbed the claws on its waist.
The claw didn't let go, but the leader quickly moved the dagger and cut off a 'finger' from the claw.
A green liquid gushed out from the cut off finger and rolled to the side.
The leader stabbed the claw again and cut off another finger. Like the Ershi Min, the claw had five fingers … so now there were only three left.
The claw didn't seem like it would just sit there and watch the leader cut off its fingers. It began to move left and right, knocking the leader's head into some large rocks nearby.
The helmet of the protective suit was very hard, so it wasn't damaged. Instead, it smashed a few rocks into pieces … but the tremors from the impact made it impossible for the leader to cut it. When there weren't any more rocks, the leader steadied himself and cut at the claw again.
But this time, the claw suddenly slammed down, and the dagger in the leader's hand fell out.
Lin noticed that the cave had become vertical, and the claws were dragging the team leader deeper into the cave.
This only lasted for a little more than ten seconds. Soon, the leader was dragged to a spacious place. It was quite spacious here.
It had a diameter of about 300 meters and a height of about 60 meters. In this huge underground cave, there was a huge monster standing in the center.
It looked like a … pillar.
The diameter of the pillar was more than ten meters. From the ground to the top of the cave, it was covered in brown fur. However, the most conspicuous thing was that there were more than ten 'claws' at the bottom of the pillar. They were like a bunch of tentacles coiled around the base of the pillar.
The claw that caught the leader was one of these claws.
"My guess is correct …"
The leader was thrown in front of the huge pillar by the claw and released.
The leader remained calm and stood up from the ground. He turned on the loudspeaker in his helmet and spoke to the pillar in front of him. "You're here, but you're a little late. Everything is over."
"It's not over …" the pillar also spoke in the Ershi Min's language. "There's one more."
Because there was air in this spacious cave, they were able to communicate with each other.
"What is it?" Lin floated to the leader's side and asked.
"It's a 'special species'." the leader replied. "As I told you before, our meeting is to discuss the creators."
"As the subject of our discussion, they might also pay attention to this place." The leader continued. "Although I don't think that's necessarily the case, one of them has made it here … but, as I said, it's too late."
"Then, what do you plan to do now?" Lin asked the leader.
The leader then spoke to the pillar. "You're the one who blocked my communication, right?"
The pillar was silent for a few seconds before replying. "I have a feeling this place will break again."
"Leader!" "Are you here?" "Are you down there? If you're alive, say something. "
At that moment, a voice came from the leader's helmet. It was the group of Ershi Min.
They were at the entrance of the cave above, but they didn't jump down. Because they had to go through a narrow and dark cave to reach this spacious place, they didn't seem to have the courage to jump down.
"What other weapons do you have?" the leader spoke from inside the helmet. "Heavy weapons? “
"We don't have any weapons, just some rifles and a few small grenades … Oh! There are two portable grenades, they haven't been used yet! "
"Is that so?" the leader said. "Then fire them here."
"What?" the Ershi Min replied. "Leader, you're still down there, right? Why do you want to fire them here? "
"Run away immediately after firing." the leader said. "This is my … last conversation with you as your world."
"But …" "Fire them now!" "But …" "It's Ershi, it knows what it's doing!"
The Ershi Min above seemed to be hesitating, but the leader didn't say anything else.
It took off its helmet and stood in front of the pillar, mumbling, "Let's give it a try …"
"… It will shatter again very soon." The pillar was still repeating the words with unknown meaning.
However, Lin had a feeling that something was about to happen.
The wind started to blow.
The air in the vast cave seemed to be agitated all of a sudden. It kept swirling, blowing up countless stones and gravel in the cave. It also blew the long hair of the leader in all directions.
"If I'm not here anymore, please tell it."
The leader stood in front of the pillar and said, "But if I succeed, it won't be necessary anymore."
"…" Lin now had a rough idea of what it was trying to do.
It was probably trying to … send out a message.
The message that Ershi gave to the leader, Ershi Min 'Ershi Min', was actually very special. It was like a ball of 'energy' was stuck to Ershi Min's body.
Lin had a feeling that it was trying to … attach this ball of information to some other creature.
That was why it was acting like it wanted to commit suicide. If it successfully attached itself to another creature, then Lin wouldn't have to do anything.
But if it didn't succeed, then it probably wanted Lin to … tell the things that happened on the bus.
The success rate might not be high.
However, Lin still didn't understand why it wanted to do that when it saw the pillar.
And what did the pillar mean by 'shattering'?
