Standing in front of the pompom was a mountain over a thousand meters tall, with a surging river constantly flowing out from a huge cave at the foot of the mountain.
So the river flowed out from this mountain? Or maybe the river just flowed through this mountain, but Lin hoped that the secret of the split brain was inside this mountain, so she didn't have to go too far.
Looking at the huge cave at the foot of the mountain, the pompom slowly floated inside.
The cave was quite spacious. It was not completely shrouded in darkness. At the top of the cave, there was a galaxy of light. Countless small worms were weaving glowing sticky threads on the top of the cave. They were used to hunt other insects that flew into the cave. They could even capture some small pterosaurs.
Lin had seen this before in the Northern Continent's underground world, but she didn't expect there to be such a similar species here. The pompom slowly floated, observing as it moved forward.
The river in the cave was very rapid, occasionally large shadows could be seen swimming in the water. Below the walls of the cave on both sides was a relatively spacious flat rocky shore, on which many crocodiles of different sizes were lying. This seemed to be a crocodile's nest.
So far, she hadn't found anything. As the pompom floated upstream, the surroundings became darker and darker. Many small holes appeared on both sides of the cave, seemingly connected to other places.
This was … … a brainwave signal.
Sure enough, she found it here as well. The pompom floated to the right side of the cave, and on the wet rocky shore, Lin saw a red object.
The pompom reached out with its tentacles, grabbed the object and crushed it into pieces. Then, Lin looked at a two-meter-wide cave in the wall in front of her.
Could it be here?
The pompom floated into the cave. No light could be seen here. The pompom reached out with two glowing tentacles. Observing the surroundings, she found many small reptiles in this damp cave. At the same time, Lin also found a new type of hairy jade here.
Let's call it Black Hairy Jade, it looked like a mass of black. Lin now had a new understanding of hairy jades, although they were relatively small. They could be found all over the continent, because they were omnivorous and had a fast reproduction rate, they weren't at a disadvantage in life.
Not long after flying in the cave, Lin found another crystal, which was also crushed into pieces by Lin.
Lin had decided to completely destroy these crystals and the split brains within them, not leaving a single one behind. These things didn't have any special value, they would only cause trouble, and instead of calling them brains, they were more like shellfish. The crystal is their shell, and then some tentacles will extend out to search for food. It also had a complete set of vital organs, and the part that could release brainwave signals was actually not that big.
As they flew deeper into the cave, the pompom shattered quite a few crystals. This number felt a bit too much. Lin wondered if there was some kind of creature producing these things. Something like a queen left behind by the Atte Tribe? The split-brain did not have the ability to reproduce.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of the pompom. She seemed to have reached the exit of the cave. After the pompom passed through the exit, a blue sky and dense forest appeared before her eyes. There was also a group of Turkey Dragons grazing on the ground.
Is this … outside? The pompom turned around and saw the mountain. It seemed that the cave led to somewhere at the foot of the mountain. This seemed to be the end of the trail.
Should he fly back? Or …
The Turkey Dragons that were grazing in front of the pompom suddenly raised their heads and looked around nervously. Then, with a whoosh, a wooden spear flew over and stabbed into the middle of the dragons.
The Turkey Dragons were instantly frightened and fled in all directions, quickly disappearing into the forest. After a while, a Skeleton Dragon walked out of the forest, panting.
It disappointedly pulled out the spear that had not stabbed into anything on the ground. Just as it was about to turn around and leave, it suddenly noticed the pompom floating beside it.
"Gah?" The Skeleton Dragon tilted its head and stared at the pompom. It had never seen such a creature before. The two tentacles of the pompom were also looking at it. Lin thought that the Skeleton Dragon seemed to be quite normal and didn't seem to be affected at all. It seemed that there was no split-brain here.
Suddenly, the Skeleton Dragon's expression changed. It raised its wooden spear and threw it at the pompom! But the pompom easily dodged it.
So it was normal. It should have left.
Just as Lin was about to fly back into the cave, the Skeleton Dragon suddenly roared and pounced. It used its claws to grab the pompom's fur tightly and tried to press it to the ground.
The pompom quickly stretched out its tentacles and slapped the Skeleton Dragon's face. The Skeleton Dragon was immediately sent flying with a scream and rolled on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Gah!" The Skeleton Dragon got up and roared at the pompom, then turned around and fled into the forest …
Why did the attack just now feel a little abnormal? Lin thought for a moment, then followed the Skeleton Dragon. The Skeleton Dragon ran quickly in the forest. After the pompom changed its color, it followed for about a kilometer and arrived at the Skeleton Dragon's colony.
There were twenty huts in the colony. It looked quite normal, but … something abnormal appeared in front of Lin's eyes.
Among the huts, there were more than ten Skeleton Dragons lying on the ground. They were all dead, and the strangest thing was … their heads were missing.
The Skeleton Dragon that Lin followed was very surprised to see so many of its companions' corpses. For a moment, it stood there in a daze. It seemed that this happened while it was away from hunting.
There were many broken spears on the ground, and corpses were scattered everywhere. A few of the huts were also destroyed. There were obvious signs of a fight everywhere. Then, looking at the wounds on the necks, it seemed that some creature with a large mouth had bitten off their heads …
Which creature would be so wasteful? Only eating the heads and not the corpses?
But even though this matter seemed interesting, it had nothing to do with Lin's search for the split-brain. These skeletal dragons didn't seem to have built any strange structures, which meant that they weren't affected by the split-brain. In that case, it was time for Lin to leave and continue her search elsewhere.
With that in mind, the pompom left the village and flew back to the cave it came out from. Lin planned to return to the river and continue upstream … What was that?
Suddenly, Lin saw a strange creature lying in front of the cave the pompom came out from. It opened its mouth and spat some red crystal fragments into the cave. Floating astronomy.
