"Gulp …"
Small clouds floated in the air.
Although this was a place deep underground, it was still bright. The most obvious scenery here was … clouds.
Clouds of various shapes floated in this cave space. Some of the clouds had coral-like creatures. They emitted a soft light. Although it was not very bright, it was enough to illuminate this area.
The existence of the sea of clouds caused the ground in the cave to become moist. Some creatures that looked like fish but had thick flippers slowly moved forward in this moist environment.
These half-fish had many small white creatures on their backs — ancient squids. They looked like they were living in symbiosis, but there was still no sign of cooperation between them …
The half-fish were now gathered together in large numbers, moving some stone-like objects. They placed these objects in one place and then walked back to continue moving.
These stones were piled up in large numbers, like a small mountain. They kept piling stones here until they could no longer pile them up. Then, they moved to another place to pile them up.
When they were hungry, they would pinch a small piece from the surrounding clouds to eat. However, it seemed that many of the half-fish were in a state of "malnutrition." They were thin and weak, and some fell during the process of moving.
These creatures lived like this for several days and nights …
During this period of time, they had piled up several 'hills'. It seemed that they had finally finished piling up. After that, they did not continue piling up. Instead, they gathered around the hills and raised their heads to look at something.
The ancient squids on their backs were also with them.
On top of the small mountain of rocks, some creatures appeared. These creatures had transparent bodies. They floated in the air. They were atmospheric creatures, very much like atmospheric slimes.
These atmospheric creatures flew around the stacked hills and then flew in front of the half-fish standing at the foot of the hill.
The mouth of the half-fish standing at the front was moving, as if it was saying something, but Lin could not hear it.
The ancient squids on the half-fish's back were also changing colors. They were all expressing some kind of message.
After this communication continued for a while, the atmospheric creature suddenly moved. It spewed out a large amount of fog-like gas. When the ancient squids in front of it came into contact with the gas, they fell down. In an instant, they fell to the ground.
At this moment, it seemed that all the creatures in the area had erupted. All the half-fish rushed up with their mouths wide open, and the atmospheric creatures also fought back at the same time.
Just as the situation became uncontrollable, the scene that Lin saw suddenly changed. Then, it became pitch-black …
It seemed that it had escaped, but it was about time to see this …
In fact. Everything that happened just now. Lin saw it from the memories of a beetle.
This type of beetle was called the Sacred Beetle, although it was completely different from the original description of the Sacred Beetle.
This was a kind of carnivorous beetle. They used two pairs of jaws that could vibrate at high speed to cut meat. At the same time, they could also dig up rocks and sand. But the most interesting thing about them was their ability to turn into statues.
They would store some of the ingredients they ate in the rocks, and after some conversion in their bodies, they would form a layer of golden shell on the surface of their bodies.
In this state. They were able to keep themselves alive with almost no loss, which was a state similar to hibernation. In other words, the group of beetles that the spy saw earlier was actually a group of relatively 'ancient' creatures. In short, when this place was full of creatures, they were still alive.
Although they had completely sealed themselves, they also had the ability to wake up quickly. When the spy approached, they had already been awakened by the vibrations caused by the spy and tried to attack the spy.
However, the spy could secrete some substances that would make the attacking beetles fall into a state of paralysis. At the same time, the spy killed some of the beetles attached to his body and put miniature troops into their bodies, slowly decomposing them as nutrients for the spy.
In the process of decomposing them, Lin discovered the ability of this kind of beetle. They had a special place to store their memories, and unlike ordinary insects, they could record things for a long time.
Lin let a beetle enter a dream and let its memory appear. They had very good eyesight, so they could show very clear scenes.
But because they didn't seem to have any sense of hearing, there was no sound in their memory …
Many of the beetles' memories were of them crawling around in relatively dark and narrow places, and some of them tearing up large amounts of meat. But Lin still found a beetle's memory. This beetle liked to stay still, so it could perfectly see the changes in the surrounding scenery …
In its memory, Lin could see the previous scene of this place. There were a lot of half-fish and ancient squid living here. In addition to these creatures, there were also some creatures that looked like sea creatures, such as corals and the like.
Unlike what Lin thought, there was no water here, but there was a considerable amount of cloud sea. They relied on the moisture generated by the cloud sea to move around. As long as their gills were kept moist for a long time, ancient squid could indeed live on land.
However, their living conditions here were not very good, mainly because of the lack of food. They only ate a small amount of cloud sea. In fact, they couldn't eat too much cloud sea. Most of the microorganisms in it were toxic. Perhaps the half-fish couldn't tolerate a large amount of toxins, but they couldn't not eat it.
Their main job seemed to be to carry those stones, and not for themselves, but for the strange atmospheric creatures.
Those atmospheric creatures looked like slimes. Lin Huang didn't know if they had anything to do with the 'creator'.
The stones carried by the half-fish should be the materials used to make the golden statues. They also drew this in the painting, but Lin Huang didn't see any golden statues in the beetle's memory.
Strangely, the slimes seemed to have asked them to make the statues, and it had nothing to do with the 'creator'.
When the half-fish finally piled up the stones, they seemed to have some kind of dispute with the slimes. The slimes attacked first, and then the half-fish rushed up.
When they started fighting, the beetle turned and fled into a dark place, so it didn't remember what happened later.
Lin later saw many beetles' memories, but they were basically hiding in the dark, so she couldn't see anything about what happened after the battle …
Maybe the things here had nothing to do with the 'creator', but they accidentally found the golden statues here and wanted to use them?
Or maybe the slimes were the 'subordinates' of the 'creator' or something.
