"The behavior of the creatures here will affect their DNA. Do you understand what I'm saying? You're just a lowly creature randomly spawned from who knows where. "
The scholar did not respond to the Pope's words.
For some reason, the Pope was suddenly interested. "So you're all randomly spawned. That's why you're so weak and stupid, falling down one by one after being hit by the light."
"I'll call you Random Creature from now on. What do you think?"
"…" The scholar was still silent.
As expected, they would form an interesting combination.
Although Lin was looking at them, she was also looking at the other side … What should she do with this thing? Should she seal it? Or should she just kill it?
… This Creator's cub.
Lin's Bechymos was currently floating above the ocean. Within its body was a small spherical creature.
This creature was one of the two Creators produced by the Spiral Creature. It was also the cub that Lin first saw. And now, it was still alive even after the death of the two older ones …
As expected, it was best to seal it first, using a freezing method similar to the Voidfolk.
If it was simply sealed, the Creator would know and it would do everything it could to escape. It had to be frozen completely unconscious.
It would be a pity to kill this strange and uncontrollable creature. But if it was not killed, it could only be locked up and left to see what it could do in the future …
On the other side, this was the Captain's Lost Star. Lin also saw some strange creatures here.
"They've appeared again." In the Captain's gunship. The Captain was continuously entering its findings into the records …
"Length: 2 meters. Height: 1 meter. Five limbs. Body shape is completely asymmetrical. Shell looks like rock … "
As the Captain was typing, the 3D image in front of it also showed the appearance of the creature. It looked like a … praying mantis.
But it had no head and only five limbs. Its shell looked like it was made of rock similar to the ground.
Recently, this creature had appeared several times in a row on the distant plains. And every time the Captain saw it, it would instantly run away.
However, the captain still recorded its form and did some research on it. The captain observed it for a long time and came to the conclusion that this creature might be a scavenger, which was why it only dared to wander around far away.
However, the captain was still very cautious. He was afraid that these creatures would hurt him, so he set up a few automatic towers around the base.
Lin, on the other hand, went to capture the creature.
Now, the pompom was flying over a black plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was hard to tell what kind of creature it was.
The creatures that had always appeared before were nowhere to be found. It seemed to have gone into hiding somewhere.
Next time, when I have more energy, I'll just search for more pompoms. But now, Lin found something strange … This thing stood tall on the black plain. It looked like a ball with a diameter of more than three meters, and there were many structures that looked like tree roots supporting it from below.
The pompom floated to the top of the sphere. After touching its outer shell, Lin felt that this thing seemed to contain a strange composition.
It was a composition that he had never seen before …
Lin had the pompom circle around it and found that the thing was sealed. So, the pompom began to drill a hole on the outside and put its fluff into the hole.
Is this … water?
No, it's a kind of liquid, but there seems to be nothing in it, no cells, no strange small creatures.
This kind of liquid is poisonous to pompom creatures. Although this thing looked like the structure of a living creature, Lin still couldn't find anything after probing it with her fluff for a while. There were a lot of small fragments though.
Then, Lin had the pompom drill into the bottom of the 'water ball' from the outside.
It seems that this wasn't a living creature, but it was probably created by a living creature. So, she just waited here. There would be a living creature coming back to take care of this thing.
Moreover, it seemed that water could be obtained here. Although most of it was poisonous, Lin could try to separate it from the water.
Because there was very little water found in this thing, it was very useful.
Just like that … day and night slowly passed … but Lin still didn't see any living creatures coming.
The pompom had almost absorbed all the water inside. Plus, the hole that Lin made at the beginning wasn't patched up, so there was almost no water in this thing, turning it into a completely dry state.
Now, there was only a pompom that had become fat from absorbing water and a pile of fragments left in the ball.
Perhaps this was an abandoned thing. With that thought in mind, Lin had the pompom extend its fluff and plant its own plants on the surrounding surface.
After living here for a period of time, Lin discovered a special characteristic of this place. That is … the daytime here lasted for a long time. Thus, for a long period of time, this world would be in a state of extreme heat. The air in this world would always maintain a high temperature that could cook a dinosaur egg.
Although the plants planted by the captain could maintain a normal temperature in the mini greenhouse, it consumed too much energy to maintain the temperature.
The captain originally used solar energy as its energy source. It placed many silver metal plates to absorb the sunlight, but now it couldn't maintain it anymore. It had to rely on the gunship's reserve energy.
Lin noticed that the efficiency of the metal solar plates of the Voidfolk was not as high as the crystal plates of the spiral creatures. If the structure's solar plates were used, it would be able to support the energy consumption.
However, Lin didn't help it at all. She just wanted to see how it could survive.
Under these circumstances, the captain finally decided to leave the gunship. Before this, other than checking on the crash site, it had never left the gunship's range of 100 meters …
Now, it had to ride its dune buggy again for energy.
Since driving the gunship consumed a lot of energy, it planned to ride there since the dune buggy was solar-powered.
When Lin saw it was about to leave, she had the pompom fly out from the water sphere and followed it. One person and one ball, once again roamed the wilderness of the alien planet.
However, roaming wasn't the right thing to do because the captain still had a purpose.
Previously, it had sent out some small remote control to investigate. In the east of this place, there was a strange place. Although there weren't any creatures in that place, it was very strange …
Because unlike the long daytime here, that place felt like dusk and the light wasn't as strong.
The captain thought that the temperature there might be lower, but the remote control couldn't obtain temperature data, so it had to check it out in person.
"This is …" Suddenly, the captain stopped. It saw a small green plant growing on the side of the road.
When it saw this, it was very excited. It immediately took out a round can and a small shovel from the storage box behind the dune buggy. It used the shovel to carefully dig the soil around the plant.
'Whoosh!' Suddenly, the plant shrank into the ground and disappeared.
"Huh?" The captain was stunned. Then, it desperately dug on the ground …
However, it definitely couldn't dig up anything because that plant was planted by Lin.
After digging for a long time, the captain dug a big hole but didn't find anything, so it had to give up. It climbed back into the dune buggy and drove to its original destination.
This time, it didn't find anything. It was still a wasteland, and the asymmetrical rock creatures it saw before didn't appear again …
Until … the sky slowly darkened.
The sun that had been in the sky all this time was no longer fierce. It had turned into a gentle light.
The temperature here also began to drop. Although it was still very hot on the pompom, the captain listened to the data detected by the helmet and became more and more excited.
If the temperature was lower, it could live nearby.
After driving for a while, the color of the sky became darker and darker, and it was no longer an endless plain in front of them …
Towering peaks formed a continuous mountain range that appeared in front of Lin and the captain.
It seemed that they couldn't go any further.
The captain's car drove to the foot of the mountain. Looking up, they could see a steep rock wall. Compared to a mountain, it was more like a huge city wall. Countless sharp rocks protruded like needles. It looked very difficult to climb up.
From here, they could see that the other side of the mountain seemed to be darker.
This didn't seem to be directly related to the sunlight. Instead, there were a lot of cloud-like objects in the sky. These objects became thicker as they went east, and at the same time, they blocked all the sunlight.
This also caused the temperature here to drop, but it didn't seem to be the only reason.
The captain checked the temperature here. Although it was lower than before, it was still not suitable.
He looked at the mountain, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he climbed up the steep mountain …
The top of the mountain was more than 100 meters from the ground. It was considered a relatively short mountain. Due to the lower gravity here and the climbing function of the helmet, even on the steep mountain, the captain could climb with ease.
The pompom slowly followed him while checking the composition of the air here.
The air here seems to be mixed with another substance, but why is it only here?
While Lin was thinking, the captain had almost reached the top of the mountain.
And at that moment, the pompom also saw the wonderful scenery at the top of the mountain.
So, this is the environment here?
In the direction where Lin and the captain came from, the scorching sun shone on the land. On the other side of the mountain, it was like night without any sunlight. It was a land covered in darkness.
The mountain that Lin and the captain were on was a place between day and night. It was also a place in the 'dusk' period. It could be said that it was like a dividing line that separated day and night into two halves. (To be continued …)
