Faintly discernible, empty, cold, dark …
Lin didn't feel that way at all, even though her attention was currently in the void.
To be more precise, she was inside the body of a certain creature in the void …
Every race in the Eastern Continent was working hard for their own matters, but nothing major had happened so far, so it wasn't time for war yet.
Standing Scorpion was gathering Dust Demons in the desert. These Dust Demons seemed to be scattered all over the desert, and aside from them, there were also some other … strange creatures.
The golden statues stayed on top of the White Skeleton Dragon's sea of clouds, building defensive structures on top of it and teaching the White Skeleton Dragon how to create new weapons.
The Imam was still messing with Monte III.
It seemed that they were currently in a relatively 'peaceful' phase, so before war broke out, Lin's attention was focused on a very distant part of the void.
It had been over 10 days since the Void Iceberg left the meteorites. Although the void didn't distinguish between day and night, after so long, Lin was no longer able to see the creature's figure in the meteorites.
Generally speaking, some new types of Stargazers were able to see very far away, and they were also able to use some special methods to detect targets hidden in the starry sky.
But for this iceberg, the Stargazers quickly lost sight of it.
It didn't seem to have flown away, but more like it had suddenly disappeared into the void.
However, Lin's Rock Cutters didn't sense anything unusual inside its body. The creature was flying very steadily, but it would occasionally tremble. As if it was trembling.
It was now impossible to return to the surface of the Void Iceberg. They had to move even deeper. Only then would they be able to discover something new.
Some of Lin's caterpillar-type troops had already set off. They were all produced from the iceberg base.
These caterpillars were called 'internal explorers', or 'internal explorers' for short.
The internal explorers used their barbed legs to hold on to the ground, while also possessing the ability to eject and move. They had already explored many tunnels inside the iceberg.
This was a very complicated tunnel system, with a large number of pipes extending in all directions. Aside from the place where Lin's main base was located, there were also many other relatively spacious places.
These spacious places usually had potholes on their surfaces. Some water gathered inside the potholes.
Some of the water was dissolving liquid, but some was just ordinary water. Lin also didn't see any strange alloy plates anymore. Other than that, there were also many carnivorous plants growing here, absorbing the nutrients in the water to survive.
Lin still wasn't sure about the purpose of these areas. This place looked a bit like a stomach, but obviously, the food that the iceberg ate wouldn't be sent here.
There seemed to be an extra area here. Could it be that his body was too big, so he had the free time to grow these extra areas?
Lin felt that such a thing should be impossible.
In the meantime. All the passages in this place were interconnected, and there were a total of three open points. The others were all smaller tunnels. Although there were many tunnels, after Lin finished exploring them, she discovered that none of these tunnels led to a new area, they were all repeated.
If he wanted to go deeper into the body of the Void Ice Mountain, he would have to make a hole in the ice wall.
Therefore, Lin gathered all the caterpillars in one place.
This was the second open area. These caterpillars were gathered in a pothole, and Lin planned to dig here.
After some research, Lin had discovered the characteristics of its' ice layer '. It was actually a kind of shell, but its hardness was higher than any alloy or shell Lin had ever seen, except for the Pioneers'.
Most importantly, it had a very strong healing ability. Lin still didn't know what was going on, but she already had a way to drill through it.
A caterpillar extended a few small tentacles from its mouth. It secreted some liquid at the end, then slowly touched the ground and began to rotate.
This movement required a lot of attention … It wouldn't be good if it attracted the iceberg's attention.
The fireflies and leeches that Lin encountered before were 'immune organisms' on the iceberg, like the Creator's sword fleas. They helped the Void Ice Mountain clean up the debris on its body, and the fireflies could even help it repair its wounds.
Lin had very few troops here, and the carnivorous plants multiplied very slowly, so she couldn't afford to lose anything here. Everything had to be done slowly.
The caterpillar used the sawtooth at the end of its tentacles to dissolve the 'ice layer' on the ground, but it didn't seem to have any reaction at this level.
The 'ice layer' on the surface of the Void Ice Mountain could feel pain, which was especially obvious when Lin attacked it. Now, it seemed that because the caterpillar was too small, it was like a parasite, so it didn't react.
Lin still didn't know how it could split open and then seamlessly close back together. The 'ice layer' here didn't look special, maybe it was different from the one on the surface …
A caterpillar was slowly drilling down, and the surrounding caterpillars were paying attention to other places, looking for any creatures approaching. However, there shouldn't be any immune organisms here.
Although she saw a few small leeches last time, they weren't aggressive at all.
The caterpillar's whole body had already drilled into the ice layer. Just a little bit more, and Lin would reach the target area.
But Lin still didn't know which part of the Void Ice Mountain that area belonged to, so it was fine as long as it wasn't a dangerous area.
After drilling through the last layer, Lin's field of vision was suddenly covered by a bright light …
A large number of small red sparks were floating in the air, and they spread out in front of the caterpillar. Lin noticed that these were very small creatures, one centimeter long, with an oval and flat body.
These creatures looked like a kind of creature called 'turbellarian', or some plankton, but they floated in the Void Ice Mountain because there was air here, so they could swim like water.
There were quite a lot of creatures in the Void Ice Mountain …
The caterpillar looked around and found that the cave walls here were still like ice, and there were a lot of spherical objects stuck to the walls.
The caterpillar drilled out of the hole and slowly floated near these spheres. Lin found that many of the spheres had already cracked, and the small creatures floated out like sparks.
These should be eggs, and each of them was bigger than the body of the small creatures.
Did this mean that these creatures could grow very big?
The caterpillar slowly crawled under the dancing flames, but the creatures ignored the caterpillar and continued to float around.
Lin noticed that this was a place like a nest, and there were a lot of eggs everywhere …
This was a strange feeling. She still hadn't found the innards of the Void Ice Mountain, but she saw a lot of other creatures.
The caterpillar swallowed some of the eggs here, and Lin found that each egg contained a large number of larvae of creatures. They might be able to glow and fly out when they grew to a certain size.
When the caterpillar crawled through this small section of the tunnel, a more open area appeared in front of it.
It didn't look like the innards of the Void Ice Mountain here. There were many red rocks growing on the ice walls, and there were many red things growing between the rocks. They looked like tentacles growing out of the ground, and there was an opening at the end. When the spark-like creatures flew close, the tentacles would instantly move and catch them and swallow them.
It looked like a predator.
The caterpillar crawled into this area, changed its color, and continued to move at a slow speed …
Even though the color was invisible, the surrounding tentacles seemed to be able to see the caterpillar, and they all pointed their heads at the caterpillar as if they were staring at it.
They looked very confused, and a few tentacles reached over and poked the caterpillar's body.
They were trying to determine what the caterpillar was, which showed that they had a certain level of intelligence …
Suddenly, a tentacle reached over and bit the caterpillar's back. Lin felt that the tentacle's opening had a large number of serrated teeth, and it was using these serrated teeth to cut the hard shell on the caterpillar's back …
After the first tentacle made its move, the surrounding tentacles immediately surrounded it. They bit and tore at various parts of the caterpillar's body in a frenzy.
The caterpillar's shell was very hard, but their bites limited the caterpillar's movement. If it continued to be bitten, it might not be able to withstand it.
Lin immediately produced many small spherical particles in the caterpillar's body. They quickly hardened and wrapped a cluster of cells inside.
The caterpillar's shell slowly cracked open. After the tentacles tore the shell apart, they began to crazily devour the caterpillar's flesh and blood.
Under the pain of the caterpillar, Lin felt that this caterpillar could not be saved. In fact, Lin only had a total of 15 caterpillars, and each of them was very precious. However, Lin could also take this opportunity to see what the inside of these creatures looked like.
Lin had the other two caterpillars burrow into the cave that was previously filled with eggs. Lin had already confirmed that there was no threat here. They could eat the eggs here as nutrients and build a second base here.
Lin wanted to slowly invade the Void Iceberg's entire body without it noticing.
After the first caterpillar was torn apart, the tentacles quickly digested the flesh it had devoured. However, they could not digest the small balls inside.
These balls went deep into the cave. Lin also noticed that the tentacles seemed to be quite long, at least tens of meters long. The balls were sent deep into the cave and then stopped moving.
To confirm the location, Lin had one of the balls slowly open up. At the same time, a small eyeball stretched out to observe …
In Lin's vision, Lin saw many … floating things.
All kinds of irregularly shaped things were floating around. Lin even saw some familiar things … some broken rocks in the meteorite area, and there were even some fragments of plants on them.
Why are these things here? Could it be …
"Crack!" While Lin was thinking, the ice wall in front of her suddenly rose! (To be continued …)
