The sound of the wind echoed in Lin's thoughts …
Everything flashed past her eyes at an extremely fast speed. The spy was falling from a high altitude.
Although it was now night, Lin was still tracking the target in the distance — the Skeleton Dragon. It was falling at almost the same speed as the spy.
The spy couldn't fly, but neither could the target. The two maintained this distance. In addition to keeping an eye on the target, the spy was also observing the surrounding environment.
Although it had been falling for a while, it was still within the range of the sea of clouds. There were floating clouds everywhere, and some atmospheric creatures could be seen …
Bang!
The spy suddenly hit a cloud. In an instant, the spy felt a sharp pain all over his body. The spy's vision was filled with broken cloud pieces, and his whole body flipped. When he flew out of the cloud pieces, Lin found that the target was gone.
Because he had lost sight of the spy just now. However, she could wait until she reached the ground to look for him.
Now, she could see the ground.
What Lin saw was … a white desert, rolling sand dunes, and an endless sea of sand.
It seemed that this was a desert environment. The jungle of succulent plants didn't extend to this location. However, Lin felt that the humidity of the jungle should extend here. There should be a lot of plants on the ground. Why was it all sand?
She should know when she reached the ground. The spy was getting closer and closer to the ground. It seemed that the journey in the air was about to …
Bang!
The pain all over the spy's body made him lose consciousness …
However, it seemed that because he hit the sand, his body didn't directly smash. In fact, it was still very intact.
But if it was an ordinary Skeleton Dragon … It would be completely dead now.
But this was not the case for the spy. Lin realized. No matter how high the spy fell from the sky, no matter how strong the impact was, the cells in the body couldn't die in an instant. There would always be some left.
And because he fell on the sand this time, there were more cells left.
As long as there were still some alive, the spy could get up again …
Lin let some of the cells begin to transform into other forms and began to devour the dead parts, reconstructing the muscles and internal organs. There would always be some losses during the recovery process, but it was enough to restore the spy's entire body.
Time passed slowly. During the recovery process, Lin felt that the spy's body was buried under the sand. Even if there was a lack of oxygen, the spy was still recovering until his body could function again.
…
Bang!
Under the scorching sun, a hand reached out and pushed against the sand, pulling its entire body out …
The spy stood on the sand. Shielding his eyes from the sun with one hand, he observed his surroundings.
Around them. All that could be seen was the sand that shone brightly under the sun. The feeling of this desert was different from that seen at night. Because of the sunlight, the entire desert had a golden luster. The air above the sand was distorted by the high temperature. In addition to the sand, there was another scene here — floating clouds.
A cloud with a diameter of 30 centimeters slowly floated in front of the spy. The spy reached out and grabbed it.
This … was indeed a sea of clouds. After the spy pinched a small piece off and swallowed it, Lin noticed that it was very similar to the sea of clouds in the sky, but it was mixed with more impurities and microorganisms …
The sea of clouds was mainly made up of a series of microorganisms. Lin referred to them as' cloud weavers'. Although it was a general name, there were actually quite a lot of them. Some cloud weavers were responsible for making colloidal substances, some were responsible for secreting and collecting light gas inside, and some were responsible for collecting water on the outer layer of the sea of clouds. Some were responsible for moving the sea of clouds with jet movements.
These microorganisms seemed to be unrelated to each other, and some even hunted each other. They seemed to just happen to live together and create the sea of clouds. In addition to the cloud weavers, there were many other types of microorganisms mixed in, forming a special relationship. Moreover, the composition of the microorganisms in the sea of clouds in each region was different.
For example, this sea of clouds was different from the previous two.
The sand on the ground was very dry, but the heat here did not take away the moisture in the sea of clouds. Although they were different from the sea of clouds in the sky and were not as large, they still maintained their shape. This was mainly because the cloud weavers had thickened the outer layer so that the water inside would not leak out. This also allowed them to float very low.
Although it was not known where the water was originally collected, this thing was helpful for the spy.
The spy slowly ate the entire sea of clouds to replenish some of the energy lost in the recovery process.
This was not the only sea of clouds here.
Looking around, one could see that there were pieces of sea of clouds floating everywhere on the nearby sand, making this place look quite similar to the environment in the sky.
If they were a little bigger, one might be able to step on them and ascend to the sky...
The spy slowly walked forward in this desert filled with sea of clouds. The 'Skeletal Dragon' from before had fallen somewhere.
If it did not have some strange recovery ability, it would have fallen to its death. In this case, only the corpse was found...
The spy walked to a sand dune and looked at the environment in the distance.
The continuous sand dune extended out of the spy's vision. The size of this desert should be quite large, and the spy's sense of smell picked up a familiar smell.
It was over there.
The spy slid down the sand dune and came to a stone sticking out of the sand. The spy lowered his body and began to dig next to the stone.
After digging about a meter deep, Lin saw a long white tail. She grabbed the tail and pulled hard. The entire body of the Skeletal Dragon was pulled out of the sand.
This was the 'Skeletal Dragon' from before. It seemed that it had fallen not far from the spy.
Moreover, just as Lin thought, its body was basically intact, but its insides were probably completely damaged.
The spy placed some miniaturized troops on its skin and probed inside the body of the White Skeleton Dragon.
This way, he could learn some information about this creature.
… So that's how it is. This creature was indeed a type of atmospheric creature. After exploring the inside of the Skeletal Dragon, Lin understood most of its situation.
Its main purpose was to envelop the Skeletal Dragon and then slowly infiltrate its body. This creature would extend a tentacle-like structure into the Skeletal Dragon's hearing area. This tentacle would connect to the Skeletal Dragon's cranial nerves and cause it to go crazy.
At this time, this creature would completely infiltrate the Skeletal Dragon's body and parasitize it. However, this creature did not have the ability to control the Skeletal Dragon. In fact, the Skeletal Dragon's actions of jumping off the spaceship were completely its own.
This creature could only damage a part of the Skeletal Dragon's cranial nerves and make the Skeletal Dragon do this on its own.
However, it was still unclear what was going on with the Skeletal Dragons controlling the spaceship. They did not immediately jump off the spaceship after being parasitized, but were still operating it?
Moreover, the purpose of these creatures to make the Skeletal Dragon jump off the spaceship was unknown...
Just like the parasitized Skeletal Dragon, they could not withstand the impact of the fall. Moreover, they did not have strong recovery abilities to be able to come back to life under such impact...
Lin felt that this creature might not have planned to live from the beginning. It was equivalent to committing suicide with the Skeletal Dragon.
They might be a 'weapon'. Was there another creature that was using this' weapon 'to attack the Skeletal Dragon?
Lin continued to examine it, but there was no way to find any other problems with this creature.
However, she could deduce this problem from other places.
Since they had jumped off the spaceship, it might mean that there was something special in this desert. Perhaps if she waited here for a while, she would discover some creature that would come to 'retrieve' the carcass?
However, Lin did not want to wait here. Moreover, this desert looked very interesting, so Lin planned to continue exploring this place.
With that decided, the spy left an eyeball beside the Skeletal Dragon's carcass and left.
Now, she would just pick a random direction and set off!
Just like that... in the endless desert, the spy began her aimless journey.
Although this desert was hot, the sea of clouds floating everywhere could easily replenish water. Occasionally, one or two pieces of cloud could replenish the spy's nutrition for the journey.
In addition to the spy, Lin also saw many creatures that also fed on the sea of clouds.
Now, the spy was hiding behind a sand dune. Not far from this sand dune, a creature more than three meters long was strolling on the sand. This creature looked like a caterpillar, and its whole body was covered in sand-colored armor. It was eating a piece of floating cloud...
Lin had seen an introduction of this creature in some of the Skeletal Dragon's information. The Skeletal Dragon called it a 'Behemoth', but there was no detailed information.
After this' Behemoth 'ate a piece of cloud, it shrank its body into a ball and quickly spun on the sand. Soon, the creature's entire body was hidden in the sand.
This hiding method seemed quite interesting, but what was that...
The spy walked out of the sand dune and walked to the place where the creature was buried. There was a very large cave here. It seemed that the creature did not bury itself, but instead drilled into an underground cave. From here, the spy could vaguely see that the cave below seemed to be quite large, and there seemed to be a strange... skeleton on the floor of the cave. Amazing astronomy.
