"Maybe … maybe … it's dead?"
She had been wandering on Bian Wushi's land for about two days and nights.
Lin's pom-poms and flower had been moving forward at a speed of about 50 meters per second.
Along the way, Lin had seen many … similar scenes.
No matter where she had drifted, there were similar muddy lands everywhere. Occasionally, there would be some interesting scenes, but they were few and far between.
More importantly … there was no sign of decay.
The flower had said that after staying here for a day and night, the body would start to rot. This sort of decay would affect all the creatures it knew.
Moreover, it was unable to find out how Bian Wushi had caused it to rot.
At the same time, if Bian Wushi had felt fear and confusion when the decay occurred, Bian Wushi would have told the creature why it had died here.
But after so long … there was still no sign of decay. Moreover, the flower had not received any signal from Bian Wushi.
It believed that Bian Wushi had died. This should be Bian Wushi's … corpse. Perhaps it had encountered some sort of disaster while drifting in the void and died here.
Lin felt that this creature … would not die so easily.
However, it had indeed lost its' vitality 'for some reason. So, Lin decided to investigate why it had done so.
Of course, she also wanted to find out … why it had stopped the sand model.
Because of that, Lin had many miniaturized soldiers drill into the muddy land.
When they entered the depths of the muddy land, Lin discovered that there were many creatures living here. They all relied on the nutrients in the muddy land to survive.
After Lin told this to the flower, the flower was very … surprised.
Originally, no matter what creature it was, as long as it stayed here for a long time, it would rot. Therefore, no creature could continue living here.
But since so many creatures had appeared here, Bian Wushi must have died. That was why the ecosystem here was so rich.
However, after Lin's careful investigation, she discovered that this ecosystem was actually … on the verge of collapse.
Although there were a lot of creatures here, they were all in a 'half-dead' state.
And the reason they were in this state was because … the decay had stopped here.
Lin had studied many of the creatures here and found that their body structure was very interesting.
They could be said to be a group of creatures that 'lived day and night'. These creatures had a kind of … ability to rapidly grow.
They could grow from the infant stage to the adult stage within a day and night, and then produce many new offspring in their bodies.
Then, it would wait for its body to rot. After its body rotted, the new generation would rapidly grow and undergo a new cycle.
To put it simply, these creatures had miraculously adapted to the rapidly decaying environment and had corresponding abilities.
However, because they wouldn't rot now, these creatures couldn't go through the cycle of life.
This was because Lin discovered that they were all creatures with sturdy shells.
It was still unknown why they were so sturdy, but if they didn't rot … then the young inside their bodies wouldn't be able to grow outside their bodies.
Moreover, if they didn't rot quickly, these creatures would continue to give birth to more young in their bodies. As a result, they would be squeezed to death by the large number of young in their bodies.
In the end, the hatchlings would not be able to drill out of its shell and would die inside.
Lin discovered that there were many corpses of creatures that had been squeezed to death by their young.
However, there were still many living creatures. These living creatures had a certain degree of control. They could stop the growth of the young in their bodies.
In this way, they could still live for a while.
However, because these creatures had a lifespan, because they couldn't reproduce, they would eventually die.
The creatures that Lin saw now were in this state of slow death.
In fact, the flower didn't know much about these creatures, so it didn't know the details of these creatures. It originally thought that the strong rotting effect here wouldn't allow any creature to survive for long … but it didn't expect them to rely on rotting to survive.
In any case, it seemed to mean that the Erosion had indeed lost its' vitality 'and the rotting effect had disappeared. If this continued, all creatures that relied on it for survival would die.
Even so, the flower still wanted to confirm … whether it was dead or not.
So, it and Lin came to a rather special place.
It was said that this place was the place where the signal of the Erosion was strongest. The flower believed that the Erosion's signal organ or something was located here.
After floating for a while, Lin's ball of fur and the flower arrived at this place.
The scenery here was a bit special. It was a large … golden lake.
It was very different from the rusty lake from before. The entire lake was about 300 meters in diameter and shone with a golden color. It looked very beautiful.
The flower didn't think so. It wasn't a species that used color to identify the world.
However, it said that it could sense the strongest signal here.
The Erosion's signal wasn't 'automatically' sent to creatures. Instead, it required the creatures to be suspicious of this place.
Only then would the Erosion send the signal to these creatures, telling them why they were here and why … they died here.
It was said that the signal at this place was the clearest, and it could be sensed with even the slightest bit of suspicion.
The flower slowly floated to the center of the golden lake. Then … it emitted a strong feeling of suspicion.
It was wondering why this place became like this, why it didn't rot and so on.
Obviously …
There was no reaction.
Lin had the ball of fur investigate, but it didn't sense anything.
So, Lin had the ball of fur scatter some miniature soldiers. They floated into the golden lake to be examined.
This golden liquid … didn't seem to be anything special.
But when Lin floated to the bottom of the lake and tried to dig down, she suddenly found something special.
There were many small creatures that were one to two millimeters in size moving around at the bottom of the lake.
These small creatures were different from the ones Lin saw before … they were very active, unlike the other half-dead creatures.
But there was another important thing. These creatures …
They looked very similar to Exploding Swallows.
To be precise, they were miniature Exploding Swallows, which were similar to sharks.
These creatures … were they related to Exploding Swallows?
'Boom!!!'
