"I … heard it! The voice of the creator! "
The moment the brainwaves were emitted, the Prophet said the same thing almost at the same time. Lin was now sure of what was going on.
For the past few days, Lin had been observing the lives of these skeletal dragons in the mine. There were exactly one hundred skeletal dragons living here. There were originally 105 skeletal dragons, but the other five had been killed because they were 'out of sync'.
These skeletal dragons had always lived in the mine, but sometimes some of them would leave the mine and go into the city to buy things they needed, such as fuel to keep the braziers burning, food, and so on.
At the same time, they would also sell some things, such as brown jade and some special stones found in the mine, as well as the seeds of trees that could record, in exchange for more shells.
So far, there was nothing special about them except that they did not live in the city, but they would do many more strange things …
Every two days and nights, they would hold a ceremony called a 'prayer ceremony'. It was different from the one Lin had seen before. This ceremony was simpler, and mainly consisted of them gathering together and chanting some strange words …
Lin found that the language they were chanting could be called 'Ancient Skeletal Dragon Language', which was the language they used in their early days. The language of the skeletal dragons had undergone many generations of changes and was not quite the same as before, but if one listened carefully, one could still understand some of the meaning.
When the spy first came here, the ceremony they held was called the 'Resurrection Ceremony'. It was held to revive the creator, and it was said that it could only be held at special times. However, it was interrupted by 'out of sync'. It was said that it would take dozens of days and nights before it could be held again.
Obviously. These skeletal dragons also worshipped the creator, but their way of worship was a little different. For example, they used wood. Other than the wooden stick with strange carvings that the Prophet was holding, they also used some other wooden objects.
These skeletal dragons, especially the Prophet, believed that they should not worship anything other than the creator. They believed that they were the skeletal dragons favored by the creator.
"Those stupid things living in the city have been abandoned by the creator. It has long been abandoned by its creator. Only a small number of dragons like us who have been summoned can truly hear the voice of its creator! "The Prophet had said this many times.
Lin discovered that the way they heard 'sound' was mainly through the brainwaves of the split-brains. It wasn't that the split-brains didn't release brainwaves, but they would release them occasionally, and every time they did, the Prophet would be able to sense some kind of information.
The common split-brains with crystal shells could affect the White Skeleton Dragon with their brainwaves, but the brainwaves released by the split-brains could only be sensed by the Prophet. It seemed like … the split-brains were communicating with the Prophet in this way.
Some of the White Skeleton Dragons in the area seemed to be able to sense it as well. However, it was not as clear as the Prophet's. That was why the White Skeleton Dragons gathered here were like that. That was why they had gathered here.
Lin also dissected a few of these brains for further investigation. They weren't too different from the ones she had seen before, but the muscles on their tentacles were more developed and their bodies were slightly larger. This meant that they were more active, capable of moving and eating on their own.
However, it was more troublesome to feed these brains. Just as Lin had thought before, the Prophet had 'fed' them ordinary Skeletal Dragons.
At some point, some of the split-brains would begin to crystallize, forming a layer of crystalline shell on the surface of their bodies to envelop themselves. At that time, they would enter another state and begin to release brainwaves.
The brainwaves did not affect a large area, only about thirty meters in radius. At that time, a White Skeleton Dragon would take it out. Some of the White Skeleton Dragons digging in the quarry would be attracted by the brainwaves and brought into the abandoned mine.
The White Skeleton Dragons brought in would first be tested to see if they were 'qualified to be inspired by the creator'. Lin had seen a group of White Skeleton Dragons brought in by the Prophet. There were more than ten of them, but all of them were deemed 'unqualified', so they were all killed and fed to the split-brains …
The way to determine if they were 'qualified' was to see how they reacted after being exposed to the brainwaves. The White Skeleton Dragons in the mine did not have any special reaction at all. They did not seem to be affected, but the ordinary White Skeleton Dragons would enter a state similar to 'drunkenness'.
The White Skeleton Dragons would occasionally eat some drinks made from plant juices and would also enter this state. However, after being influenced by the split-brains and entering this state, they would involuntarily walk into the mine and be captured by the Prophet and the White Skeleton Dragons inside …
The Prophet and the Prophet believed that the easily influenced White Skeleton Dragons' minds were not strong enough to be inspired by the creator.
It was the same for the White Skeleton Dragons that occasionally got lost in the mine. That was why it was called the 'mine of no return'.
However, if the Prophet and the Prophet often brought the White Skeleton Dragons in, they would easily attract attention. The split-brains seemed to know this too, so these split-brains did not constantly need food. In fact, they would often enter a state of deep sleep to reduce their consumption. In this state, they could stay awake for a long time without eating.
The Prophet also had another ability. By communicating with the split-brains, it could sense the White Skeleton Dragons that were 'qualified to be inspired by the creator'. They could even use the split-brains to determine the location of the target.
Back then, some of the White Skeleton Dragons brought the split-brains to the mainland and found the black pepper that was bitten by the brain-creating monster. These White Skeleton Dragons were obviously part of this place.
But how did they reach the mainland? They shouldn't have come with the Jing Kuang …
Lin's thoughts about these White Skeleton Dragons were that they were only controlled by the split-brains of the Atte race. The split-brains controlled the Prophet and used their worship of the creator to do all kinds of things for themselves.
Sending a message to their brains and making them believe the message … This was a very simple task.
A large number of split-brains gathered together, and they might have formed some kind of connection. Lin believed that the Atte race could not be the 'creator'. The creator should be a more primitive … powerful creature.
The resurrection ritual of the creator was also very suspicious. They should be 'resurrecting' something, but it shouldn't be the real creator. Also, where did these split-brains come from?
Lin decided to have the spy create a structure that could accept the split-brains' messages. At the same time, she wanted to dig them up. Perhaps there was something hidden underneath.
Speaking of digging … Lin dug up something interesting at the salt flats. Floating astronomy.
