Chapter 36: The Burial

Why did they leave a shadow cube here?

It's a tough question to solve, though Lynn can confirm that it's been dead for a long time, and that there are no Inca Swarm classes around.

Moreover, the things buried under the mountain do not seem to be the main target of the scorpions, they dig them out, put them aside, and then continue to dig down.

It seems that there is something they are interested in buried in the mountains of this island, and judging by the depth they have dug recently, they should not have been digging when they first moved in.

Lynn felt the need to observe the scorpion, and the pom-pom floated slowly through the scorpion colony, flying to the side of the third digging pit, where the corpse of the dug up shadow monster was left behind, and although it looked like it was frozen, it was actually dead decades ago.

And that's not all.

In some of the nearby pits, most of the arthropod structures were arthropod structures, and Lynn found that almost all of them were related to the Inca swarm, and the arthropod legs in the first pit were sandblasters' legs, and the other pits also had these remains, but only the corpses of the shadow monsters were relatively intact.

Could it be that the Inca swarm encountered something on their journey, did they experience a battle here? Did some of the troops die here and be buried?

Then the scorpion may be looking for the reason for this.

Although there are many standing scorpions in the vicinity of the pom-pom and chatting with fish in the snow, they are talking about what is delicious and interesting, and there is no information about what they are digging for.

It's like when they fought the Emerald Dragon. There was no discussion of tactics at all.

It's a funny habit. However, Lynn also discovered the 'voice' of another creature. It was coming from an ice pyramid not far away.

The pompom quickly floated over, the pyramid is more than 30 meters high, the outer wall of the whole tower looks very irregular, there are many thorn-like pimple-like protrusions, the pom-pom also tried to go up and knock on it, and found that the outer wall of the pyramid is very hard, which seems to be made by the scorpion with water and other impurities and mucus little by little.

When the weather gets colder, they can even think of this way to make buildings. Isn't that easy......

Inside the pyramid is a relatively empty space, where a standing scorpion and a yellow-colored creature can be seen 'communicating'.

"Hand over your treasure and tell your secrets!" "Don't think!" "Then I'll have to dig out your entrails." "I'll bite you."

That's what they're talking about, but the scorpion uses a voice and the other side uses a brainwave.

It was another brain-creature that appeared to have been caught by the scorpion, its legs buried in the ground, and its fat body half-exposed to the ground.

Maybe the brain-makers in the sea have kept a lot of 'treasure'? Then they will be hunted down by the scorpion.

"Treasure." "No." "Treasure." "You turn around and look and you'll find out." "Treasure." "In the mouth, stick your head in." The Scorpion and the Brain-Maker are constantly 'arguing', but their conversation doesn't seem to lead to anything.

This 'treasure' of the brain-making monster should not have been carried with him, otherwise the scorpion would have cut it open a long time ago.

But in order to be able to figure out the situation better. Lynn joins the conversation.

"What are you digging for?" The pom-pom floated directly to the scorpion, and asked with a voice at it.

"Huh?" The scorpion was shocked. It jumped a few steps away and let out a loud shout, and the entrance around the pyramid burst into a large number of standing scorpions, looking left and right in search of their target.

The scorpions didn't find anything suspicious, but they now trusted their companions, so they didn't think the screaming scorpion was cheating them, they just thought they hadn't found it, so they all stayed here nervously.

It seems that maybe a spy should be brought out, and it would be easier to blend them in.

Just as Lin was thinking this, the brain-making monster suddenly sent out a brainwave message; "I know where it is, I'll find out, let me go, I won't bite you."

The scorpions looked at the brain-maker, and one of them said, "Kill it." ”

"No !!" Under the screams of the Brain Monster, all the Scorpions rushed forward, and they surrounded the Brain Monster, and the sharp limbs continued to scratch at it, and after tens of seconds, the Brain Monster turned into a pile of minced meat.

The Orb of Records wasn't there, but the Scorpions didn't seem to care about killing the clue creature, and they quickly ate the Brain-Maker's flesh before they all scattered and left the pyramid.

This shouldn't be the only one, though.

Lynn's pompom also flew out of the pyramid, and when she looked into the sea in the distance, she saw that some scorpions were digging holes in the ice on the sea, and some scorpions were flying into the distance, perhaps they were still chasing other brain-making monsters.

After that, the pompoms stayed here for many days and nights, watching the life of the scorpions, they usually fly around during the day, and stay in the pyramids at night, all the food is found from the sea, they don't care if they eat corpses or alive, recently they have caught a brain monster and keep asking it where the treasure is.

But this brain-maker is the same as the previous one, it won't say anything.

Lin found that most of the brain-making monsters they caught were active on the ice on the surface of the sea, and I don't know why, maybe because of the cold, they all ran to the ice, which also made them much easier to catch.

But the brain-makers are quite 'stubborn', and it's better to find them yourself than to ask where their orbs of record are hidden.

They also dug deeper and deeper down the mountain, where they had dug many holes, but now they had only dug one place, digging a long passage under the mountain.

This passage is wonderful, and the bottom is not the usual mud and rock, but it is as white as ice and snow, but this is not ice, but a strange colored rock.

Now, the pom-pom was floating slowly in this snow-white place, surrounded by snow-white rock walls, and there were no remains of the Inca swarm troops in the deeper places, and in the front, Lin could see a group of standing scorpions still digging.

This is where they dig to.

They dug out a large space here, a hole with a diameter of more than thirty meters, and the shape of a huge thing could be seen on the ground......

It looked like it had been buried in the ground, and some of it had been dug up, and at first glance it looked like a large rock, but ...... It's a creature, maybe it's ......

It has no organs or limbs on its surface, but Lynn's research on it has revealed that this thing has a very special composition, and it has most of the matter in living things.

That is, the components contained in biological cells are all contained in this thing, but the strange thing is that there is no cell structure in this thing, and it feels like this thing is a mixture that specially tears up all the cells and then mixes all the components into one.

But it's not just a mix, there are a lot of cavities and pipe-like structures in it, I don't know what it means......

Why is this wonderful thing here? However, it doesn't seem to be the target of the scorpion.

Although this thing is more than ten meters long and more than five meters wide, it seems to be very light, and a few standing scorpions lightly moved this thing to the side, and then continued to dig underneath.

Soon, they finally found what they were digging for......

Is that...... A ball of record.

When the ball was found, the scorpions cheered excitedly, congratulated each other, and took the ball out of the hole.

They dug so hard and dug up so many wonderful things, but were they really just looking for a ball?

I feel a little disappointed...... However, Lynn noticed that their orb of record was a little different, and it seemed that the color of the shell was quite special at the moment.

And I don't know what happened inside.

Pom-pom followed the scorpions, watched them come out of the hole, and then placed the ball of record in the pyramid and dug a hole in the pyramid and buried it.

They seem to be very casual with the way they handle the Orb of Record, and I remember that they also put the crystals of the main brain in the past, but this time there are some standing scorpions guarding nearby.

But they didn't notice that the discolored pom-pom floated to the place where the orb of record was buried, and the pom-pom pom-pom reached into the ground and found the orb of record.

The long sharp hairs secreted dissolved fluid and pierced into the orb of record, quickly groping for the structure inside.

Lynn found that this record ball was indeed different, it was alive, and the brain part was relatively large, the general record ball has a brain part but it is small, and this one occupies almost half of it, but it is now in a sleeping state.

This orb of record seems to be primarily recording things with the brain, rather than in other ways.

The pom-pom slightly stimulates the recording ball with the tip of its tentacle, causing it to wake up, and when it wakes up, the pom-pom quickly connects to its nerves.

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant, and it became a vast ocean.

Lynn brought it into the dream world and used a special method to make it manifest its own memories, that is, to make the ball ...... 'dream' on its own.

At this moment, an island suddenly appeared in the vast ocean, and countless plants and sand and dust also covered this island, this island is now the island where the scorpion lives, but it seems to be overgrown with plants at the beginning, and it is larger.

And on this island, there is a large group of ...... Bugs, they seem to be exploring the island, devouring the island's creatures everywhere, but there is another creature watching them. (To be continued......)
