The Lake of the Earth's Eye.
Green jungles grew in the dry desert, and fresh air spread throughout this hot world.
This place was called the resting station of life, the flower of the desert.
This was all because of the huge lake in the center of the oasis. Looking down from above, the lake was like the eye of the earth. It continued to provide the surrounding plants with water called life.
But now, the greenery in the desert was covered by darkness …
Boom … There was a roar in the air. Sand swirled and scattered in the air. A large number of plants were blown away by the wind. A five-kilometer long giant ship almost touched the ground as it flew over the oasis and crashed into the Lake of the Earth's Eye.
At this moment, the entire lake surged with monstrous waves. A huge tsunami splashed in the lake and rushed to the oasis on both sides. The roaring lake water swallowed all the creatures around it. The tall plants were instantly uprooted. The creatures living in the oasis were also swept into the surging water.
The oasis that had existed for who knows how many years was destroyed in an instant.
The giant ship that caused all this also stopped because of the buffer of the water. It sank into the bottomless lake.
No matter when, when something big fell, it was always a spectacular sight …
A silver worm lay on a sand dune a hundred meters away from the oasis. It was chewing on crystal fragments in its mouth while looking at the tsunami-like scene in the distance.
After looking for a while, the worm spat out the crystal fragments in its mouth and burrowed into the sand.
This worm was one of Lin's soldiers. It was the type of pioneer. But it was slightly smaller. It was only about twenty meters long, but it was thicker than before. It had a catapult function that it did not have before, and there was a considerable number of them.
Lin's troops were not all involved in the war. Instead, they spread out in the desert. This worm was one of the troops that Lin sent out to find the Creator's crystal bomb launch point.
But later, Lin let it catch up to the falling ship in the sky and let it rush out of the sand at the last moment. It caught Moketu and the pompom that fell out and crushed the crystal spider while it was at it.
At the same time, Lin also had many troops around. Even if those pompoms were all wiped out, there were still many ways to deal with them.
Although the alloy spiders seemed to be working very hard, it was impossible for them to win. However, Lin doubted where they came from.
The worm poked its head out of the sand and looked around. Now that Moketu was in the worm's abdomen, he was in a very safe state.
And there didn't seem to be any 'creator's' troops chasing after them. Could it be that they had admitted defeat?
Lin looked at the flooded oasis. Now that the 'tsunami' had slowly subsided, a large amount of water had seeped into the sand. Or perhaps it had retreated back into the lake, revealing a tragic scene. All kinds of plants were in disarray, and some creatures were struggling in the receding water.
However, he should be able to recover soon.
The worm slowly crawled towards the oasis, wriggling on the soaked ground. There were fleshy plant fragments everywhere. Just like the forest around the Silver-Shelled Dragon, the plants here were all succulent.
And Lin wanted to find something special in this pile of wreckage.
Yes, there it is.
Seeing a gray figure in the distance, the worm immediately crawled towards it.
The creature was lying on the ground. Although its eyes were closed, it still looked alive.
This was the Skeletal Dragon that Lin saw on the ship. Although its chest was pierced, it was not dead. In fact, it would take hundreds of seconds for its brain to completely die. At that time, Lin had enough time to save it.
Now, there was a pile of fluff growing on the part of its body that was pierced.
The pompom had entered its wound and replaced the role of its heart. This was the fastest way to save its life, and also allowed it to survive the impact of the crash. The pompom's heart could not only transmit blood, but also purify all harmful substances in the blood, making its body stronger than before. This was an ability that a normal heart could not provide.
Therefore, it was now a Skeletal Dragon with a pompoms' heart!
However, after this, the pompoms would slowly recover their original heart structure and then break away.
Lin believed that this Skeletal Dragon's interesting experience would be of great help to the race.
The worm swallowed the Skeletal Dragon and then burrowed back into the sand. After leaving the oasis for some distance, the worm burrowed out of the sand again.
In front of them was an endless desert. There were no plants, but there were countless shadows.
Large groups of flying troops swept across the sky. They were flying in the direction of the oasis.
Most of these troops were from the previous battle. Now, they had finished their battle and were preparing to go to some places to check the results of the battle …
Dong —!! A loud noise came from the sand in the distance. Large amounts of sand splashed up like a fountain and slowly drifted to the ground.
That was the place that Lin called the "Explosion Zone."
Under the seemingly calm sand, there were a large number of crystal bombs buried. These crystal bombs were ready to hit any target at any time, anywhere.
And now, Lin was destroying them …
Dong! A large number of worms were rampaging underground. They kept spinning and advancing underground. When they found any crystals, they would instantly drill them into pieces.
Occasionally, they would detonate the crystals, so the desert was always filled with the sound of explosions.
When the ship crashed, the "creator" tried to destroy the ship with a large number of crystals. It was these worms that stopped many of the crystals from being launched. Otherwise, the ship would have been destroyed long ago.
Lin also had a question. If the "creator" wanted to destroy the ship, why didn't he add a self-destruct structure in the ship? Instead, he tried to use the crystals to destroy the ship.
Dong! Large amounts of sand flew up again. Many crystals exploded under the attack of the worms.
The number of crystals surprised Lin. Moreover, their range was quite far. They could hit another continent.
In other words, the "creator" could use these bombs to bombard anywhere except the bottom of the sea.
However, despite such a large number of bombs, the "creator" didn't seem to care much about them.
Most of the bombs had a simple structure. They were placed in a jar under the sand. The outer shell of the jar was the color of sand. Normally, it wouldn't be noticed.
When the bombs were needed, the jar would open. The controller of the bombs would control the bombs to drill out of the sand and shoot into the sky.
The amazing thing was that the bombs were self-determined and fired on their own. They didn't receive any instructions. Instead, they were activated after some kind of event.
But after that incident, even when the worms blew them up, they didn't react at all.
There was no bomb manufacturing base under the sand. At least, Lin hadn't found it yet. It was all just bombs.
The controller of the crystals was always in a state of hibernation. It only moved at critical times, so there was almost no consumption.
However, after seeing the large number of crystals underground, Lin thought of a possibility. Maybe the "creator's" kingdom wasn't in the sky, but underground. It just looked like it was in the sky.
If that was the case, it would explain why she couldn't find it. Usually, Lin would also explore the underground, but she wouldn't go too deep.
But this was just a guess …
The worms were quickly destroying the crystal bombs in this area. The worm with Moketu was also sending him to a safe place.
After Moketu recovered slightly, he would be able to use it to observe the dream.
At the same time, something happened on the other side.
… …
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on."
They were in a dark underground cavern. An alloy spider was standing among a pile of experimental devices. Before it was a floating pom-poms.
"Why are there so many identical alloy spiders there?"
The pom-poms asked the Imam. This was not the first time. And for the first time, the Imam didn't answer directly.
"I don't know the situation. I didn't go there and didn't see the scene," the Imam said. "The reason for their activity is probably because they've been activated."
The pom-poms asked, "Activated?"
"Hiding inside and waiting for the right time to activate it." The imam then went on to say a lot about these things.
He said that this was a special device. They were originally in a state of hibernation, waiting for the ship to be damaged or something to happen. Then, they would protect Moketu and bring him away safely.
However, Lin didn't think they were there to protect him. They were there purely to snatch Moketu.
"That's not the question," the pom-poms said. The pompom said, "They are exactly the same as the spiders you use, and the inside is also the same. And, what is this?"
The surface of the pom-poms began to change color. A pattern of a soft creature appeared on its body.
This creature was discovered after the giant crystal spider was bitten into pieces by the worm. It was a creature that controlled the crystal spider, but it was different from the usual manipulators. Instead, it was exactly the same as the creature that the imam had recently created with the extract of the synthetic body.
"Why is this creature controlling the crystal spiders?"
"I don't know. I can't confirm. I can't identify it," the Imam said many similar words in a row. A strange reaction appeared in its mind.
It didn't have the emotion of 'deceit' like other creatures. Instead, it had the emotion of rejection. It didn't think of any way to deceive Lin. Instead, it tried to refuse to answer.
However, this could be easily solved.
"Let's have a dream."
