The 'Pompom Spring' was a hole with a diameter of about one kilometre.
Although it didn't feel very big … there were a lot of interesting things around it.
The first creature that Lin's Skeletal Dragon soldiers saw when they flew over was … an ant-like creature.
They were a type of creature called a 'honey ant'. They were over one metre in size and the front part of their body was like a sharp spear. They also had three to six limbs for movement.
The back part of their body was greatly inflated and looked like a balloon.
When Lin's Skeletal Dragon soldiers landed in front of them, they did not react at all and remained where they were. Some even slowly moved to the side.
So, Lin had one of her Skeletal Dragon soldiers approach one of the creatures and put its hand on its bulging part to examine it.
So that's how it is. It really is … a balloon.
Lin decided to call them 'Air Ants'. The bulging part of these creatures was filled with air.
… Air from the Pompom World.
Lin examined several of the 'Air Ants' and found that their bodies contained a large amount of air from the Pompom World. To be precise, it was … the air from the jungles of the Dinosaur Continent.
Lin could detect microbes from the inside, and even plant seeds and gnome excrement.
In other words, this' Pompom Spring 'was once connected to the Dinosaur Continent … But where was it connected to?
In truth, Lin had many soldiers all over the Pompom World to observe the development of the entire world. However, none of them had seen anything strange.
However, Lin's soldiers did not completely monitor every place. So, there might be some places that Lin … did not notice that something strange was happening.
Lin continued to examine the Air Ants. They were a type of solidified creatures. However, the solidified substance that made them up was somewhat special.
The reason they stored air was to use the air to react with the substance in their bodies.
There were some special solidified substances in their bodies. Every once in a while, they would put these substances into the air storage pouch. These substances would then … rapidly collapse into a large amount of fragments in the air environment.
Then, they would absorb these fragments.
In simple terms, they relied on the Pompom World's air to help them decompose their food. The Pompom World's air was like 'gastric juice' to them. They would collect the special solidified substances in their surroundings and collapse them in the air. Then, they would absorb these collapsed substances as nutrients.
In fact, it wasn't just cracks. The 'nature' of these substances had changed greatly as well.
Lin did not know how they became like this, but she had a feeling that they had been living like this for a long time.
Within a radius of more than ten kilometers from the pomelo spring, there were air ants everywhere … These creatures seemed to be living a very stable life, which could be seen from their lack of fear.
They didn't care about their surroundings at all.
Apart from them, there were many interesting sceneries. Lin could see many pompoms on the ground around her.
For example, plant debris, animal bone fragments, and all kinds of rocks and stones.
Lin could imagine what it would look like when the spring erupted and these substances sputtered everywhere.
Of course, they were all frozen, so they still maintained the appearance they had when they first arrived.
From the state of these substances, Lin could deduce when they came here …
Because the environment here was very interesting, Lin didn't continue flying. Instead, she let the five Skeleton Dragons slowly walk around.
Next, these soldiers walked into … a 'boneforest'.
The ground here … was filled with a large number of bones.
Most of them were leg bones, but there were also many skulls among the standing leg bones.
They all seemed to have been deliberately planted in the ground. It looked … very much like the work of dwarves.
Whoosh! Just as Lin was thinking, her Skeleton Dragons were attacked.
A large number of tiny bone needles shot out from the skulls on the ground. They hit the Skeleton Dragons' bodies and made continuous crackling sounds.
This was the sound that Lin simulated, because there was no air here.
Although the Skeleton Dragons were built according to the appearance of Skeleton Dragons, their skin was much harder than that of ordinary dragons. These tiny needles could not pierce through.
After enduring the attack for about ten seconds, Lin found that the surrounding skulls had stopped shooting bone needles.
Obviously, they had run out of ammunition.
But then, Lin found that the designer of these bone needle traps had appeared.
They were indeed … dwarves, but they were a little different from the ones Lin had seen.
These small creatures came out of the forest of leg bones. They were very large in number, and soon surrounded the Skeleton Dragons … There were more than a hundred of them.
The biggest difference between them and ordinary dwarves was that they had no flesh on their bodies.
They were complete skeletons of dwarves, without the flesh of other creatures.
However, their personalities were very similar to ordinary Gnomes. They all grabbed some relatively large bones as weapons and rushed over while yelling.
Of course … they were shouting without any sound. They just opened their mouths wide.
When they rushed over, Lin had the Skeleton Dragons leap into the air.
At the same time, when the last Skeleton Dragon jumped, it grabbed the weapon of a dwarf that had rushed to the front.
Although it wanted to immediately let go of its weapon and escape, the Skeleton Dragon quickly caught its body and … brought it into the air.
Lin then examined the skeletal dwarf. She found that these dwarves were actually … solidified creatures.
The dwarven bones were not real dwarven bones, but … synthesized from the bone fragments of various creatures here.
Moreover, the inside of these synthesized bones was filled with a solidified substance. This substance was also the reason why they could move.
In other words, a solidified creature had used the bone fragments here to synthesize the shape of a dwarf's skeleton. It had burrowed into the skeleton and lived according to the habits of a dwarf …
Why did they do this?
Lin tried to ask these creatures.
These creatures could not be directly communicated with, but they could be forced to respond …
The reason they did this seemed to be because they liked dwarves very much. It could be said that these creatures worshiped dwarves to the point of worship.
However, it was not the worship of gods. Rather, it was similar to the worship of Ershi Min's … 'idol'.
The reason they liked dwarves so much seemed to be because of the dwarves' … excrement.
