The 'thing' in front of Lin was the same as the others. It was purely made of crystals, but compared to a house, it was more like a giant crystal pillar erected in the middle of a large number of houses. There was a square opening at the bottom of the crystal pillar that allowed creatures the size of scorpions to enter.
The spy walked into the crystal pillar, only to see that the surrounding walls and floor were all made of crystals of various colors, seemingly made with great care. It was hard to imagine that those crazy scorpions would make something like this …
However, the scorpions who made the crystal walls outside were slightly better off. Inside this residential area, they were indeed acting like they had gone mad, fighting each other, quarreling everywhere, corpses were everywhere, the stench of rotting flesh permeated the air, the germs were also spreading. None of the scorpions were responsible for cleaning up, they even used their own eggs as weapons and threw them around …
What was the secret of this crazy race? Why were they like this? Lin felt that she could find the answer here.
In front of the spy was a huge crystal that was over two meters tall and had a square shape. Several scorpions were lying on the ground, they looked up at the crystal and Lin could sense their sadness.
"Lutewa," one of the scorpions saw the spy approaching and called out softly.
"Lutewa," Lin responded. Lin also responded to it. Lin noticed that these standing scorpions weren't like the ones outside, whose emotions were mostly sadness mixed with anger, or perhaps even more anger, but these standing scorpions were filled with pure sadness, with almost no other emotions.
With that in mind, Lin looked at the crystal in front of her.
This huge crystal was not very transparent, but Lin could see that there was something white inside. What was that?
And this huge crystal … Lin felt like she had seen it somewhere before …
That's right. It was in the underwater cave. When she found the plague fungus' brain. The plague fungus' brain was also trapped inside this type of crystal, but this one was more transparent.
What was going on? Did the scorpions have something to do with the plague fungus? However, Lin didn't see anything related to the fungus on her way here …
In short, this crystal was very suspicious. Lin could even sense some brainwave-like information coming from it, but it was quite weak.
The spy raised its forelimb. The end of the scorpions' forelimb wasn't a pincer, but a claw that looked like a pincer. The spy opened a hole at the tip of the claw and shot a miniature sticky bomb into the crystal.
The spy's internal structure was simple. But Lin still equipped it with a lot of exploration tools. The sticky bomb stuck to the surface of the crystal and hatched a Drill Explorer that drilled into the crystal.
Just like the plague fungus' brain, the Drill Explorer drilled into the depths of the crystal and approached the white object inside.
Lin found that the object was soaked in water. The water felt strange, it had a special composition, so there weren't any microorganisms. Lin drilled into the object in the water and first, she did a simple inspection.
The Drill Explorer shuttled through the object at high speed. After a thorough examination … Lin discovered that this thing was indeed a brain!
. but dead..
Was it because it was dead, so it was soaked in this kind of water to prevent the growth of microorganisms? Moreover, Lin noticed that the structure of this brain was very similar to a brain Lin had seen before … It was the other brain that was glued to the plague fungus' brain.
.....
.................. Of....................... ............
But now, this brain was also dead. Lin could still sense some of the brainwaves it emitted, but they would probably dissipate soon.
It was a very strange feeling. Lin didn't find any scorpions among the remains of the Yat's army. Also, why did they pile up here, become like Skeleton Dragons, and go crazy? Or perhaps the scorpions weren't actually Yat's creatures. They simply found this brain somewhere and placed it here. Did the brain affect them and cause them to go crazy?
That was a possibility, but Lin didn't think so. They didn't show any signs of being affected …
Lin continued to inspect the brain. The size of this brain was very similar to the one attached to the plague fungus' brain. Unfortunately, this brain was already dead, so she couldn't check its memories.
However, Lin could tell when it died by looking at the changes in its cells …
This was … While checking the date of brain death, Lin discovered a shocking fact. The time of brain death was exactly when Lin cut open the two parts of the plague fungus that were stuck together.
If that's the case … what was the relationship between this brain and the attached brain? Because the brain there was dead, the brain here was also … Although it might be a coincidence, if it really was the brain of the Yat's special species, then there might be a connection between them.
Then, was it Lin's fault? Because she cut open the brain and killed the brain here, the brain here seemed to have died in an extremely short period of time. The brain here didn't suffer any external damage, so that was the only possibility.
As for the scorpions here …
Lin also thought of another possibility. The scorpions didn't go crazy because of the brain, but because they lost their brain.
Originally, under the condition that they had brains, this group of standing scorpions could be ruled by their brains, and their thoughts would be connected. They would not fight and cooperate with each other like this, but after losing their brains, they had no connection, causing their thoughts to be inconsistent. Thus, each standing scorpion had its own 'personality'. When their personalities did not match, they would argue and even fight, which led to the death of many standing scorpions. Perhaps they would clean up the corpses at first, but after a while, they would not care anymore.
Now, each scorpion lived only for themselves. After losing their brain, they didn't have a leader or anything. Their degree of unity couldn't even compare to Humerus Dragons, let alone a species with a division of labor …
This was indeed a reasonable explanation.
The other beetles might also be part of the Yat's special species, but they weren't as intelligent. They were under the command of the scorpions, but the scorpions couldn't command each other, which led to this situation.
The scorpions were quite intelligent. Lin Jie didn't know what kind of role they played as part of the Yat's special species. For example, after losing their brain, the beetles wouldn't be able to move much, but the scorpions could move on their own, which led to this situation …
While Lin was deep in thought, the Drill Explorer that was wandering around in her mind suddenly discovered something …
Something here too? Floating astronomy.
