Chapter 121: The Storeroom
Lynn asked the driller to approach the group of small worms to see what they were doing, and Lynn found that there were very few worms here, not as many as Lynn had seen in the Purgatory Worms, and that some of them had probably gone somewhere else, and that the liquid they were spitting out was a combination of things, and the shape of the liquid was ...... after hardening Creature?
Little by little, the worms spit out the mucus, then carefully glue them together, and modify the hardened mucus with their teeth, eventually forming the image of a living being.
There was a word in Lynn's mind to describe the construct; 'Statue'.
The statue of this creature is a small arthropod, and it looks like this...... Lynn had seen it in the sea, even a creature she had seen before she fell asleep.
The Inca swarm may have known about the creature from fossils, but why did they make statues here?
Lynn found that it wasn't just this one that was made, that the entire underground cavern was littered with such statues, some of them in the form of Inca swarms, and some of them were primitive or modern creatures.
The statues were stacked in a corner, and Lynn discolored the burrower's body, then quietly approached the statues in the corner, bypassing the worms that were making the statues in the middle.
Lynn found a beetle-shaped statue and asked the Driller to slowly drill it through its surface, Lynn found it to be very hard, but the Driller kept drilling for a while before breaking it away.
Upon burrowing into the interior of the statue, Lynn discovers that there is a small space in the center of the statue; It is filled with a viscous liquid.
Exploration classes such as the Driller have analytical abilities, and they can open small holes in front of the drill bit to suck in these viscous liquids. and break down its components in the body.
After carefully breaking it down. Lynn found that the liquid contained some cells. These cells are in a 'sleeping' state that is close to death.
It's like the state of the observer when Lynn finds it.
So, what are these statues used to preserve cells? Enclosed in a sturdy structure that avoids contact with all kinds of impurities from the outside world, then cells may remain for a considerable amount of time, but why do they do that? And even their own troops have their own, and their own troops should remember the production method, so why keep it here?
Then. Lynn watched for a while as the little worms made statues, and they later made statues of the Infernal Worms.
The act was so funny that Lynn decided to break them down and learn how they were made...... The kind of slime that forms the statue.
That slime is strong and hardens quickly, and should have many uses in the future, and while Lynn can now make some quick-hardening chitin, it's always good to learn more.
Lynn had a large number of predators start digging down with their claws under the homestead tree, and the burrower was only good for exploring, if digging a large hole. Still have to use claws, unless there's a giant worm.
When the predator digs to a certain depth. The worms in the underground seemed to sense something unusual and stopped making statues, and they began to devour the dirt around them, and then spit it out to the statues piled up in the corners of the caves.
Are they trying to bury the eagle? This kind of action is a bit redundant.
The worms were so fast that they quickly covered all the statues with earth and escaped by burrowing holes in the cave walls.
By this time, Lin had already dug into the underground cave.
Lynn retrieved all the statues buried in the earth and began to thoroughly analyze and study the structure of the statues, attempting to create a similarly rapidly hardening liquid.
Rather than destroying the small spaces in the statue where the cells were placed, Lynn had the predators bring them all to the ground and put them in the mobile base, which Lynn thought might be of some use in the future.
Lynn also found that the composition of this hardened liquid was relatively common, but the combination was very special, and Lynn could make something similar according to the way it was combined.
The Inca swarm seems to have a lot to learn, and Lynn wants to figure out what creatures these bugs evolved from and what their original species were.
So Lin plans to move on, and the destination is straight to the territory of the Inca swarm!
Lynn's army went out again to the territory under the desert of the Inca swarm, and on the way, Lin also observed some homestead trees, and after investigating the fungal infection, she also tried to dig some caves under the homestead trees, which were also used to bury statues,
Lin found that there were such caves under the surrounding home trees, and the statues buried in them included almost all the creatures underground and some of the creatures above ground, including the Inca swarm troops, and many of them were duplicates.
The meaning of this burial is really hard to understand.
Lynn also found living creatures in some of the statues, fat worm-like creatures, very small, only a few centimeters in size, and they were still asleep when they were found.
Lynn decomposes one of the fat worms and discovers that the fat worm has quite developed egg-laying organs, and secretes a dissolving solution that is specially made to dissolve the statues.
It seems that the Inca swarm specially made statues of the flying insects and the cells of a bunch of creatures and buried them underground?
Does it make sense for them to do that?
Lynn's speculation is that maybe the Inca swarm ...... Want to leave? So they put the cell information of the productive fat worms and organisms here, and then restore the population when the time comes?
In this case...... Why are they leaving? Does it have anything to do with the rock nests they make? Does it have anything to do with the 'moon'?
It's a really hard question to understand, but just in case, Lin also began to prepare on the ground.
Lin is going to make more large air troops, anyway, it has the ability to transport, although the head worm seems to think that the moon is not dangerous, but it is still good to be prepared.
And in the underworld, after walking for a day or so, Lynn's troops have approached the territory where the Inca swarm is located.
The ground here is full of traces of the Inca Swarm army moving, and the Predators are in front of Lynn to clear the way for Lynn's army, while exploring for traps or something, but Lin has not encountered any problems along the way, it seems that the Inca Swarm does not want war anymore.
'......Boom'
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the woodland in front of the exploratory predators, and a massive creature emerged from beneath the ground.
It's the Earthbreaker!
The moment the Earthbreaker appeared, a large number of blasters flew out of the jungle behind it, but instead of charging at Lynn's army, they flew towards the nearby homecoming tree. (To be continued......)
