"The change in the sky … that was a long, long time ago."
"Since then, we've been constantly training ourselves to obtain the essence of the sky in order to live forever …"
"…"
Actually, their 'tone' wasn't like that, but Lin felt that it was quite appropriate to translate it this way.
These creatures were the second larger type of creatures that Lin had encountered on this gaseous satellite.
They also looked like dragonfruits, but their color was the same as the one Lin had seen before.
After Lin's pom-poms left the bamboo forest, she saw many of these creatures.
Although they also attacked as soon as they saw Lin's pom-poms, they were more responsive to the pom-poms' captain's signal … as long as she sent out a signal, they would stop.
Then, Lin asked them many questions.
This blue bamboo forest … was created by them.
They mainly used a special cutting technique to cut the surface of this area into a large bamboo forest and covered it with their … secretion.
This made the bamboo forest look as blue as them, and they used this method to show that the bamboo forest belonged to them.
So, when that red thing came here last time, it was considered as invading their territory.
And the reason they created these bamboos was to obtain the … essence within.
They called it the 'essence of the sky' because this essence did indeed come from the sky. To be precise, it came from the gaseous giant.
According to the description of these blue dragonfruits, they could continuously absorb the essence to strengthen themselves.
After absorbing the essence, they would become faster, stronger, tougher, and their lifespan would also increase.
If they continued to absorb the essence, they could reach … the state of immortality.
This could be said to be a very perfect effect. And the main source of the essence was the storm on the gaseous giant.
Every once in a while, a huge storm would appear on the gaseous giant. When this storm appeared … the bamboo forest here would produce a lot of essence.
The essence was a large amount of dust-like substance … as for where this substance actually came from, the creatures here didn't know.
Although they generally believed that it came from the storm on the gaseous giant, the strangest thing was … this essence was only born from bamboo.
To be precise, it was cut into the shape of bamboo.
Almost anything that was shaved into a 'bamboo-like object' that was thirty centimeters thick, ten meters tall, and had a hollow interior … would be able to produce essence inside after the gaseous storm.
The essence wasn't necessarily produced, it was produced randomly within the bamboo.
These dragonfruit creatures all had … a lot of doubts about this phenomenon.
At first, the essence was found in the nest of a certain small creature. Their nest looked exactly like bamboo. After this discovery, all the creatures began to imitate the shape of bamboo to collect the essence.
But where did the essence come from?
After all, if it came from the sky … why would it come to these 'bamboos'? Why wasn't there anywhere else?
At the same time, the dragonfruits also said that they had tried many different shapes of containers, but they didn't have the essence.
Moreover, these bamboos weren't made of any special material. They were usually made of relatively solid rocks and the like.
Over time … no one cared about what the theory was.
In short, these creatures knew that they would obtain essence by doing so, and thus built large bamboo forests on the ground. These could be considered as … 'essence farms'.
They had a strict distribution system for essences. Usually, they would collect the essences first, and then their leader would distribute them.
But some of them also secretly tried to obtain the essence.
But not being able to obtain the essence didn't mean that they couldn't become stronger.
As long as they didn't continue to obtain the essence, they would slowly turn into … dust.
When this happened, it would be some time after they had discovered the essence.
At some point in the past, many of them suddenly turned into … dust.
Turning into dust was a … relatively slow state. At first, a lot of debris would fall from the body, and slowly, the whole body would 'collapse' over a period of time.
Not only them, but many other creatures were also like this … this made them very afraid.
However, in their fear, they found that eating the essence could cure this state, so they relied on the essence to survive.
They used to prey on many other creatures for food, but their original prey was almost extinct.
So now they completely relied on the essence to survive, and this essence could indeed replace all their original food.
So they formed an environment where everything revolved around the essence.
At first, they all competed with each other for the essence, but soon, those who got the most essence established an order, and slowly formed a social environment similar to that of the cultivation creatures.
To put it simply, the strongest person was the leader, and the rest were ranked according to their strength.
Their strength was mainly related to cultivation, because eating the essence wouldn't make them stronger immediately, and they had to do some cultivation exercises to strengthen themselves.
So these creatures began to constantly strengthen themselves … but they said that this kind of life was better than when they hunted before.
'Boom —'
While chatting with them, suddenly, there was a … fire in the sky.
A huge ball-shaped object fell from the sky, and after a streak of fire in the sky, it landed in the distance.
This was the … Resident Ball launched by Phoenix.
Because it was thirty meters in diameter, its landing caused a violent tremor, and it also smashed a huge hole in the ground.
All the blue dragon fruits didn't show any fear when they saw this, but they all rushed in the direction of the Resident Ball.
When they ran in front of the hole made by the Resident Ball, they saw the Resident Ball slowly … open.
It looked like a blooming flower, and in the open ball, there were many … troops.
Lin watched from the platform as Phoenix stuffed a pile of mud-like material into the Resident Ball.
And now, she could see … many mud-like troops crawling out of it.
They looked like they were made of mud … and there were all kinds of creatures.
And the moment they came out, they all rushed towards the dragon fruits here.
The dragon fruits also waved their blade-like leaves towards these creatures.
The dragon fruits were very warlike creatures, and this was mainly related to the essence.
Constantly absorbing the essence to become stronger made them very … confident. In fact, this was indeed the case.
They easily cut through these mud-like structures, and quickly surrounded the Resident Ball.
