The sand and dust of the desert no longer extended here.
This was the edge of the desert, the inner part of the Eastern Continent. A strange plant with spherical leaves grew on the edge of the desert. They were like a border, drawing a line between the desert and the land.
The 50-meter-long stone arrow slowly flew down from the sky and landed on a sand dune.
Dong — —! The moment the stone arrow landed, a sound came from the distance. A crystal-like object fell on the ground, splashing up sand and dust.
Lin called that thing … 'Explosive Crystal Bomb Carrier'.
Just like its name, it was used to store Crystal Bombs. During the time Lin set out to search for Heaven, she encountered many similar things. These things surprised Lin, mainly because of their quantity.
There were really a lot of them … just like the thousands of Crystal Bombs buried under the sand that Lin encountered before, these 'Explosive Crystal Bomb Carriers' were also in the air, scattered all over the sea of clouds.
They were usually hidden in the sea of clouds, and when Lin's troops approached, they would attack.
Their structure was quite simple, consisting of several crystal bombs placed inside a large crystal. However, some of the carriers contained special defensive units, which Lin called 'Crystal Saws'.
Just like a saw, they used their sharp edges to cut their targets and rotated.
Unlike the Crystal Bombs in the sand that couldn't resist, these things would attack as soon as Lin approached. This caused the stone arrow to suffer a lot of damage. Part of the stone arrow's carapace was shattered, and it also lost a lot of blood.
That was why the stone arrow landed here, intending to restore itself first.
Lin rarely came to this place, so she could see some novel things here. Moreover, these novel things were also helpful to Lin.
A group of strange creatures. They appeared in Lin's sight.
These creatures were more than a meter long, and their bodies were similar to skeletons. However, they didn't have tails, their heads were round, and their spines protruded from their backs. Their bodies looked like shriveled corpses that could crawl.
That was why Lin called them 'Shriveled Monsters', a type of creature that was between a jade and a reptile.
These creatures could only be seen at the edge of the desert. And those plants that looked like a border line were also planted by them …
At the edge of the desert, Lin called them Blood Orb Trees. They were usually about two meters tall and had no green structures on them. Instead, red orbs grew out of their branches.
It looked like a blood ball. In fact, they were real blood cells. They had formed a strange relationship with the shriveled monster.
In reality, the Shriveled Monsters were not that shriveled, but when they were young, they would be parasitized by the seeds of the Blood Ball Tree. These trees would grow directly from the skin of the young, absorbing blood and forming Blood Balls. These blood cells were actually swollen leaves, but they were no longer green.
When the shriveled monsters reached adulthood, part of their blood would be sucked dry, and their bodies would become like dried corpses. However, they would still be able to survive. At this time, they would pull down the grown trees from their bodies and plant them on the ground. Then, they would feed on the blood cells produced by the trees.
Adult shriveled monsters would not be parasitized. However, young blood cells that ate the hybrid seed could be parasitized, and the process would repeat itself.
The shriveled monsters would also capture other creatures, kill them and bury them under the Blood Ball Tree to 'feed' the tree. This allowed the Blood Ball Tree to continue to grow without the parasitism, and the shriveled monsters would have continuous Blood Balls to eat.
In this strange way, they formed a symbiotic relationship.
Therefore, they wanted to attack Lin's arrowstone, no matter how big the target was. They would all try.
A large group of shriveled monsters climbed up the sand dune and surrounded the arrowstone's head. They seemed to be thinking about how to attack this target and drag it back. The arrowstone looked injured, so they thought it could be dealt with.
However, the arrowstone moved first. A tentacle instantly shot out from the arrowstone's mouth, stuck to a shriveled monster, and dragged it into its mouth.
The shriveled monsters around were shocked. They screamed and ran away.
The shriveled monster in the arrowstone's mouth had its brain pierced by a small tentacle and slowly connected to its brain.
This creature had a good memory, so this was one of the reasons why the arrowstone landed here. Lin could use them to do some observation …
In fact, the arrowstone's current location was the area where the 'creator's' heaven was located.
From the various information of the Kingdom of Heaven that he had seen in the imam's dream, such as the climate, microorganisms, temperature, and so on, the only place that matched the description was this location at the border of the desert. It could be said that this was the only place …
However, Lin did not find anything. Now, there were many small units flying in the air. In their vision, there were only countless floating clouds, each cloud was only a few dozen meters in diameter at most.
And underground, Lin was also searching, but there was only sand and mud. Large-scale detection using brainwaves or sound did not show any response.
There was only smell. The air was full of suspicious smells, like the smell of alloy and so on.
However, there was no specific place where it was emitted. It was just floating in this place, and no specific target could be found.
There were several possibilities. One was that the position of heaven had changed. If it was a floating object, it could change its position at will. Another possibility was that they were hiding.
However, even if they were hiding now, they should not have been hiding in the past.
Therefore, a creature that had lived here for a long time should have seen something.
However, the shriveled monster that Lin caught had only lived for a few years. There was nothing in its memory that Lin wanted to see. But in its memory, Lin saw something useful.
If she wanted to see the long-term situation of this area, she had to find the creature with the longest lifespan among them.
The arrowstone spat it out. Then, it slowly floated up from the ground and flew towards the blood cluster in front of it.
When the shriveled monsters below saw the arrowstone flying towards them, they screamed while grabbing some gravel and sand to throw at it. But when the arrowstone approached, they scattered in panic.
Among them, there were also some fat and shriveled monster babies with two small trees growing on their backs.
However, Lin was not looking for these monsters. Instead, she was looking for a gigantic creature inside the forest …
Now that Lin had seen it, it was twice the size of the other shriveled monsters. It could be called the 'Shriveled Elder'.
This shriveled monster had lived for a very long time. Like some reptiles, they did not have a lifespan. As long as they were alive, they could continue to grow.
The moment the elder saw the arrowstone, it immediately retreated. But the arrowstone shot out a tentacle at an even faster speed and wrapped around the elder's head in an instant.
The arrowstone retracted its tentacle and pulled the elder up.
'Bang!' At the same time, a sound was heard …
In that instant, the elder's body was instantly covered with countless cracks. Then, its body burst open and blood sprayed out like a fountain.
In less than a second, the elder's body had disappeared and turned into a pile of minced meat on the ground.
This was … In the distant sky, there was a shining reflection.
The arrowstone changed its telescopic eyeball slightly and could see that the reflection was actually a crystalline structure. The attack just now was obviously done by it.
The structure stayed in the air for a few seconds, then turned around and quickly flew away.
It was obvious that its attack was not targeted at the arrowstone, but specifically at the elder. Could it be that the 'creator' did this on purpose? But it seemed to have … made a mistake.
Because it only shattered the elder's body. The elder's head was still in the arrowstone's tentacle.
The moment it shattered, the arrowstone protected it. First, it stopped the bleeding, then quickly reconnected and provided nutrients. This way, even if the creature only had a head left, it would still be able to survive …
The shriveled elder had lived for more than fifty years. During its time here, it must have seen a lot of things.
And judging from the structure's attack just now, it must have seen something important.
Then, let's take a look at its memories.
Lin entered the dreamscape once again.
This desert seemed to have not changed at all since a few decades ago … Although the scenery was a bit blurry, for this creature to be able to remember things from so long ago was already very rare.
Lin quickly observed the entire dream. Lin saw the creature's growth, hunting, eating and so on. At the same time, she also saw the scene in the sky.
About thirty years ago, a huge object appeared in the sky.
It seemed to have appeared there suddenly. Because the shriveled monster did not often look up at the sky, thirty years ago, Lin saw this thing when it looked up occasionally.
It was bigger than any cloud island Lin had ever seen … It could be said to be a continent in the sky.
But as for how big it was, she could not see it in this dream … Presumably, this was the Kingdom of Heaven.
Lin sped up the dream to the most recent time and found that every time the shriveled monster looked up, it could see the Kingdom of Heaven.
Until recently, that is, several hundred days ago, this floating thing suddenly disappeared.
There were no traces of movement, nor was there any sound. Because it was the most recent memory, this part was relatively clear …
But Lin at least knew that it was not hiding because of Lin's attack, but because of some other reason.
Where exactly are they hiding?
Lin felt that it should be in that direction …
