This world ...... Filled with darkness, there is never any sunlight to shine here, live here, only the terrifying fluorescent light your vision, do not approach them, dark monsters hide in the sand, they will devour your life, we will hunt in the shadows, crawl in the abyss, be swallowed by nightmares, only after that flickering light, 'it' is shining on us, if you sacrifice to the Guardians, you can get 'it' salvation......

Come, dance in the darkness and awaken the ...... who sleep in the abyss

………………

What is this? Is that what they're thinking?

Lin swallowed the abyssal ancient squid she caught with the 'resurrectant', and prepared some special things in the resurrected person's body, such as the latest 'brain reader', which can read more information than any previous brain reader, and it can extract not only electronic signals, but also various other forms of information storage inside, and if necessary, it can also extract substances from brain cells.

The synthesis of these substances is what Lynn calls 'memory matter', and their storage location is mainly judged by the area of the organism's brain that reacts to something familiar when it sees something, and the 'memory matter' is parsed in detail by the brain reader and converted into words that Lynn can understand......

In order to parse this information, the brain reader is made into a structure that resembles the brain's 'memory zone', and it can even display memories like the brains of other creatures!

However, this is only a preliminary completion, and it is far from being able to obtain such detailed information like the brain worm, but this brain reader is created according to the ability of the brain worm, and can already obtain some recent information. And Gu Squid seems to like to explain things with images. It's fairly easy to read this way.

But...... This information is quite strange. Even if they could be converted into words of understanding, Lynn didn't understand what they were doing.

Seemingly...... They are 'worshipping' the giant crystallization in this cave...... Why? It seems that the word 'worship' is mentioned for the first time.

The word seems to refer to something very ...... Like? No, it seems to be stronger than liking, and that's called worship.

Lin doesn't quite understand, this thing can give them food? Residence? Or something else? In order to get here, they even had to prepare a lot of food for the giant mantis shrimp to eat.

In the case of a group of ancient squid in their twenties, how difficult it is to find food to feed the mantis shrimp that is up to six meters long, and there is not much food in itself. Speaking of which, Lynn doesn't know where they get their big fish that are more than a meter in length, but obviously they won't be easy to catch.

And then the group of ancient squid got the mantis shrimp and was here...... Galloping? Why do you do this weird thing? Lynn doesn't have access to more detailed information right now......

They were so involved in what they did that they didn't even notice that Lynn had captured an ancient squid.

These ancient squid are also highly intelligent, so they will think about these weird things, feelings and ...... Tucker and they are a bit similar, and by the way, the dragon is also a 'worship' of Lyn's pom-poms, but Lynn at least helped them, and here...... Lin really didn't think that crystallization would help these ancient squid.

They change color as they dance their tentacles. It's been more than 5,000 seconds now, and their color changes are very regular. Every hundred seconds it changes, it changes color, which makes Lin think that they have the concept of 'seconds', but I don't know if they actually have it, but now Lin uses the Brain Reader to control the Abyssal Ancient Squid that she caught to blend in with their group, so she should be able to understand their situation better......

The ancient squid of Lin Kongzhì slowly crawled into their group, and Lin noticed that the ancient squid were looking this way, but their own movements did not stop.

Then, Lin asked the ancient squid to do it with them, and the movement of wiggling the tentacles and changing colors could be achieved by the brain reader, and after Lin did it synchronously for a while, they stopped paying attention to Lin.

It's an amazing feeling...... Wait a minute......?

Lin suddenly felt that the ancient squid's brain seemed to have received some kind of signal, this signal was very vague, but it was able to confirm that it was coming from the crystal, this feeling was quite strange, this signal fluctuation seemed to change with the swing of the tentacles, and it would have a very 'attracting' effect on the ancient squid's brain.

It was like being attracted to the opposite sex or something exciting, but the feeling was much stronger than usual, enough to have a strange effect on the ancient squid's brain, and Lynn remembered that some creatures had this reaction after eating a special hallucinatory plant...... Could it be that this is what made these ancient squid do such strange things?

But before doing it, you shouldn't receive a signal, how did the crystals attract ancient squid in the first place? However, Lynn is most concerned about what is going on with this signal, is it ...... Crystallized in the brain?

Lin made Gu Squid stop waving his tentacles, and suddenly the signal began to become inconspicuous and began to dissipate, and soon it felt that there was no such signal.

Sure enough, it has something to do with this kind of action.

And at the moment when Lin stopped, all the ancient squid around him suddenly looked over, but their movements never stopped, but turned around with their bulging eyeballs to look.

They seem to have a big problem with Lynn not making a move, and they didn't have any opinion about being captured by this ancient squid before, what does that mean?

Lin deliberately kept not moving to see how they reacted, and at first the ancient squid just looked this way, but after a few tens of seconds, Lin felt that they were visibly angry, and the color of their bodies began to change to red.

The ancient squid likes to use red to indicate 'anger', but Lin still did not move, watching the group of ancient squid's 'anger value' slowly increase, and finally seemed to rise to a limit, these ancient squid began to stop dancing and surrounded one after another.

Their bodies flashed with a variety of colors, mostly containing angry messages, and they wrapped their tentacles around Lynn's ancient squid, then pulled them up vigorously.

The ancient squid itself is very soft, and when it is pulled by such a large group of ancient squid, its body is torn into several pieces under the strong pull, and internal organs and blood gush out of the section......

After Lynn's ancient squid was torn apart, the other ancient squid immediately returned to their positions and began to continue waving their tentacles.

This group of ancient squid...... They seem to have gone crazy, they value dancing more than their peers, or do they?

Lynn reckoned that this was the result of a long-term influence under that kind of signal, and their brains had become very strange because of the large amount of this signal, which was something similar to an electrical signal, somewhat similar to the brain waves emitted by the brain worm.

At this moment, Lin suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance...... I saw more Abyssal Ancient Squid coming from a distance.

They seemed to be other groups of people in the vicinity, and these ancient squid didn't have fish or anything like that, and they directly joined the group of dancing ancient squid, and after they lined up in the same queue around the crystallization, they also started dancing......

Next, Lin found that there were a lot of abyssal ancient squid in all directions of the clearing, they were surrounding the crystal, and after a while, the ground around the crystal was surrounded by dense ancient squid, and they began to dance together, their tentacles kept waving, and the colors kept changing, but they were very consistent, and it looked and felt really ...... Uncanny.

They're supposed to be crazy, and it's not good for them to do this kind of thing, but they just like to do it.

Is Lynn hesitant to kill them all? Or take a look, or rather...... Let's check the brain in the middle crystal.

An assassin stretched out his claws and aimed the tip of his claw at the pit that the mantis shrimp had smashed into it.

'Bang! ’

With a small sound, a small 'egg' was launched by the assassin, and the egg stuck to the crystallized pit, and from the egg, a worm-type unit about a centimeter long - 'Driller' came out.

They began to drill holes in the crystals with their drill-like heads, little by little, approaching the brains inside.

Even the driller, who has no brain and no sensory organs, can feel the strong signal emitted from it at this time, and it seems to resonate with the ancient squid's dance, the signal seems to become stronger because they are dancing, but this signal is very monotonous, and it does not seem to be used to 'command'.

No matter how much, the driller drilled into the depths of the crystallization and slowly advanced...... As the crystals continued to be drilled open, a new space appeared in front of Lin's eyes......

This is......

Lin realized that there was a hollow inside the crystal, and the brain was not fixed in the crystal, but ...... Floating in this hollow, you can't see it from the outside.

No, it wasn't floating, and Lynn noticed that there were tiny threads pulling at the brain, hanging it in the center of the crystal.

The driller has no ability to fly, and it seems that he will have to change a bit to get close to the brain, but Lynn has not yet reached the brain when she discovers something wonderful.

Lynn discovered a species of arthropod creature that was very tiny, only about 0.5 to a millimeter, and Lynn began to think that they might be the 'troops' protecting the brain, but this was not the case.

These tiny arthropods are constantly fighting with another creature that looks like a ...... Fungi.

The fungi looked like polymeric spheres of mycelium, and they slowly moved over the crystal walls, spewing a dissolving solution to attack the arthropods, which were doing the more common way of rushing up, tearing the balls and eating them.

When Lynn's drillers first entered, they saw them fighting, and both sides were extremely numerous, like two armies, constantly fighting on the crystal wall...... (To be continued......)
