So, where should she start her investigation? Should she dig up the entire underwater cave? However, she didn't care whether Monte II had really gone through all this or if there was something else. Let's see how these ancient squids react first …
After Monte II finished talking about his experience, Lin still didn't release him from the dream. But at least she told the brain bug to stop tormenting him. This was simple. As long as she stopped giving the brain bug the ability to control him, he would remain the same size in the dream. The brain bug and Monte II were now separately wandering around in the dream. Lin was observing the ancient squids' reactions.
The ancient squids were surrounding Monte II. They looked curiously at the wrapped Monte II. Although they hadn't done anything yet, Lin wanted to see what they would do if Monte II died. Would it be possible to throw him out?
Lin didn't really want to kill Monte II, but the Dream Link holding Monte II's head had some other functions.
Thinking of this, Lin began to let the Dream Link release a rotten smell. This smell was originally used by the Dream Link to disguise itself. It smelled like the remains of a corpse in the sea.
Of course, even if it really died, the corpse wouldn't release the smell so quickly. However, Lin thought that the ancient squids wouldn't consider this problem …
As expected, when the smell was released, the ancient squids seemed to panic. Their bodies changed into various colors, basically expressing that they didn't know what to do.
After a while, an ancient squid crawled over and began to use its tentacles to grab Monte II's body. The surrounding ancient squids also crawled over. They all grabbed Monte II and slowly moved together.
Generally speaking. They would probably clean up the remains of the corpse here. If things went well, they might throw Monte II out … but Lin hoped for a different result.
As expected, the ancient squids didn't drag Monte II towards the exit. Instead, they dragged him deeper into the cave. In the end, they dragged Monte II in front of a large rock under the cave wall.
Then, an ancient squid crawled to the side of the puddle where the Mantis Shrimp was and spat a large amount of black liquid into the puddle. The Mantis Shrimp immediately woke up.
So this was how they woke it up …
At this moment, the Mantis Shrimp crawled out of the puddle and pushed the stone away with its forelimbs. Behind the stone, a secret passage appeared.
There was actually a passageway here. Could it be that Monte II was right? Was there something hidden in the depths of the cave commanding these ancient squids?
Because Dream Link was hugging Monte II's head, Lin had a clear view of the surroundings. It was a narrow cave that the Mantis Shrimp could not enter. There was a lot of water on the ground. What caught Lin's attention were the many split-brains on the ground. They were all wriggling slowly. It seemed like they were all alive. The environment here was very dark, but there were still some luminous creatures illuminating the place.
In the depths of the cave, the surroundings slowly became spacious. In the end, it became as big as the underwater cave from before. As soon as Lin arrived, she saw a creature lying there.
This was … a brain-creating monster. As expected, there were so many crystallized brains here. There had to be one of them here.
There were many other passageways in this cave. Some of them were big enough for the Brain-Making Monsters to pass through. Furthermore, there were many Ancient Squids here. They seemed to only be living here and did not do anything special. At this moment, the Ancient Squids placed Monte II on the ground and crawled away.
Why did they put it on the ground?
Lin waited for a while. She saw the surrounding Ancient Squids surround it. The brain-creating monster was still lying there, as if it was sleeping.
The brain-creating monster had underwater breathing organs, so it was not strange that it could live in the water. However, she did not know if it was also being raised by these Ancient Squids.
The Ancient Squids surrounded Monte II and started waving their tentacles.
Were they going to dance here? It seemed like … that was indeed the case. Lin had seen these Ancient Squids dance in the plague fungus' brain before. They were dancing the same dance here …
What was the use of dancing? Could they 'revive' Monte II?
Perhaps they thought it was possible … These Ancient Squids were arranged in a very orderly manner. Their movements were also exactly the same. It felt like they were very used to dancing like this.
These Ancient Squids indeed worshipped something, but she could not tell what they were worshipping. Was it Monte II? If that was the case, it would not refuse to let them out, right? Moreover, they did not have any reason to worship Monte II.
Although they danced well, it did not have any effect. In the dream, Monte II did not do anything special. If it was affected by brain waves, even Lin's Dreamer would be affected.
Just like that, the Ancient Squids danced for a few thousand seconds. They did not seem to be tired, but Lin felt like there was no point in observing them. Perhaps she should look elsewhere in the cave to see if there was anything special …
"Gu …" At that moment, Lin suddenly heard a sound. The brain-creating monster sleeping in the corner of the cave had woken up.
Moreover, it was wobbling towards Monte II. The Ancient Squids continued dancing, completely ignoring the brain-creating monster. The brain-creating monster's slender limbs allowed it to walk between the Ancient Squids without stepping on them.
The brain-created monster slowly approached Monte II. It opened its mouth, which had two rows of sawtooth, to decapitate the monster …
It seemed like there was no other way …
… …
"Come and chase me, you stupid thing!"
On a white beach, the brain-creating monster was rolling at high speed. Monte II was flying at high speed behind it. It shouted, "Now, it's your end, Maya!"
Monte II sped up, but just as it was about to catch the brain-creating monster, the scene in front of it suddenly disappeared. What appeared in front of it was a huge and smelly mouth.
Monte II was shocked, but its brain was big enough, so it had enough speed to react. It spread its wings and flew up, dodging the head-chopping attack.
When the Ancient Squids saw Monte II's' resurrection, 'they all happily turned into colorful colors to show their joy. Meanwhile, the brain-creating monster stared at Monte II in the air. It slowly bent its legs, then suddenly jumped up to bite Monte II!
However, Monte II easily dodged it. After the brain-creating monster missed and fell to the ground, it immediately prepared to jump again, as if it wanted to eat it.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Squids were still cheering, completely ignoring the brain-creating monster's attack on Monte II.
They were really … strange.
Monte II looked around anxiously and suspiciously. Suddenly, it saw that there were many caves on the cave wall nearby. It immediately flew into one of them.
The brain-made monster jumped again, but it hit the wall of the cave. Its fat body couldn't enter Monte II's cave.
Monte II did not look back at all. It kept crawling forward nervously. The cave was quite narrow, about a meter in diameter. Monte II did not have enough space to fly, so it could only crawl slowly.
A noise came from behind it. Monte II turned around and saw that the brain-creating monster had already left. However, the group of Ancient Squids rushed in. They did not want to let Monte II escape.
Monte II quickly increased its crawling speed. Fortunately, it was faster than the Ancient Squids. The boneless creatures were not very fast. Monte II slowly increased its speed to shake them off, crawling deeper and deeper into the cave.
After crawling for a while, it could no longer see the Ancient Squids behind it. However, before Monte II could relax, a new obstacle appeared in front of it.
This was a dead end. A black cave wall blocked Monte II's path.
What should it do? Monte II did not hesitate. It immediately slashed at the cave wall, but the wall did not move at all. It seemed that the wall was too hard for Monte II to break open.
The Ancient Squids behind it were getting closer and closer. Lin could even hear the slimy sound of them moving on the ground. Monte II was panicking. It kept attacking the cave wall in front of it. It seemed that it had lost its ability to judge …
No …
Crack. Under Monte II's fierce attacks, a small crack appeared on the cave wall. A bit of light could be seen from the crack.
So it led outside! When Monte II saw the crack, it attacked even harder. However, when its front limb hit the cave wall again, it suddenly made a crack. It seemed that its joint had broken.
It was attacking with all its strength … Normally, creatures would not use all their strength because it would hurt themselves. However, Monte II did not seem to want to be caught.
Now, the Ancient Squids were very close. The Ancient Squid at the front was holding a glowing starfish to light up the cave. It also saw Monte II here. The Ancient Squids immediately sped up!
Monte II had no other choice. Its two front limbs had already been broken.
Since that was the case, Lin Sanjiu might as well help it.
"Back off." Dream Link suddenly floated down from Monte II's head. Monte II was stunned. It seemed that it had only just realized that it was still wearing this thing on its head.
"You want to go out? Then back off. " Lin Sanjiu repeated. Although Monte II did not seem to understand, it still obediently backed off.
At this time, Dream Link stuck its body to the crack on the cave wall. It began to slowly expand.
Monte II seemed to realize something. It backed off even further.
"Boom!!" Everyone was shocked.
