Chapter 162: Creatures in the Sand

The dry air was mixed with the smell of sand and dust, and on top of that, a little bit of ...... The smell of decay.

'Click. A small golden statue, split in half in the Spy's hand.

Inside the statue is a pile of dry debris, and if you smell it closely, you can smell the corpse......

This is because the detritums are made up of cracked internal organs, shells, or other pieces of biological debris.

Yes, these statues are alive, or were ever alive.

The golden statues on the ground here, as well as the statues on the walls, are all the 'masterpieces' of the statue-making device......

Before setting off to find the 'creator', Lin tried the statue-making device a little.

Since there was nothing like that in the vicinity, Lynn had the Spy create a substance similar to the shells of the surrounding statues and stuff it into it......

But after putting it in, Lynn found that it couldn't make anything.

After examining the structure inside, Lynn discovered that it was not actually used to 'make' statues, but rather to 'transform' some kind of object into a statue.

This thing is put into an object, and then a golden paint is applied to the object, and the object is hardened into a statue.

And it will only paint one object to make a statue, and that is ...... Creature.

The raw material in this device had hardened due to lack of water, but Lynn was able to test that it only reacted to the creatures it put in without paint, and all in all, it was a thing that made a creature into a statue.

Surrounding bee-shaped statues that are embedded in the walls. In fact, they are all real bee-like creatures.

Why did the 'creators' make them into statues and inlay them on the walls? And these statues were made a long time ago. But this device has recently dropped here.

Other words. They've made statues here before, and they're planning to come here more recently......

This qiē question is actually not far away.

The Spy looked up at the tunnel leading into the depths of the dark cavern, where he picked up some gravel from the ground and put it in his mouth for a moment.

In this dry gravel, there is a small amount of debris, which is some skin debris. The remains of some fungi......

As almost every multicellular organism moves, debris and parasitic remains on its skin are scattered like snow, and these debris can be retained for a long time as a trace of its movement.

Especially in such a quiet place, it may be able to stay for more than a decade.

As long as you follow this trace, you can find the 'creator' here.

Looking at the dark tunnels ahead, the Spy continued to make his way slowly on the dry ground......

The rock walls on both sides were still covered with golden bee-shaped statues, each a few centimeters apart, arranged in a neat row, if these were made from bee corpses. That means it was once inhabited by a lot of these creatures.

However, it is also possible that they captured these creatures and made them into statues......

Move along the passage ahead. The scenery of the rock walls on both sides of the spy remained unchanged, but in the sand on the ground, a lot of strange sand piles appeared......

The Spy dug up a pile of sand and found it to be made of stone, which looked like a five-centimeter-diameter disc with symbols carved into it.

There is more than one disc in this disc, and there are many of them in the sand piles here.

These are things from a long time ago, and it seems that the 'creators' who came in recently haven't touched these things, but they must have made a lot of various things when they came before.

Continuing through the sand, the spy seemed to have reached the end of the tunnel, where the environment became spacious.

The Spy turned off the light emitted from his body and used his eyes to observe with a more subtle light.

In this spacious place, the ground is still covered with gravel, and on top of the gravel, there are many stones half-buried in the sand.

The Spy didn't go directly into the area, as there were a lot of moving objects near the rocks...... They are the same color as gravel, but only a centimeter in size, and appear to be a beetle-like creature.

When the Spy took a step, the beetles were all in the sand in an instant.

The Spy walked over to a half-buried stone and could see that it had countless small cracks in it, as if it had been bitten by the beetles.

What do they do with this stone? The Spy reached out and touched the stone, and a large amount of powder stuck to the Spy's hand.

This stone ...... It looks like it has nutrients.

......The Spy felt the sand tremble under his feet as he looked at the stones, and the beetles he had seen before came out of the ground again, and they were all looking at the Spy with their compound eyes that shimmered with golden light.

Lynn felt a thought of them called hostility......

In the next moment, all of these bugs suddenly surged up! The Spy jumped from the ground almost simultaneously and instantly rolled over as he jumped, grabbing a rock at the top of the cave.

Although it is spacious, the height of the roof of the cave is still very low, only more than three meters above the ground......

The beetles on the ground didn't seem to be able to fly, and after losing their target, they dangled around in the sand, while the Spy continued to cling to the roof of the cave and slowly crawled deeper into the cavern.

The creatures seemed to be quite abundant, and as she climbed the cave top, Lin noticed that there were many cockroaches, spiders and scorpions.

Although they are all arthropods, it is really rare to find them in such a dry place.

After a few moments of climbing, the Spy noticed that there was no longer sand underneath, but a rocky ground paved with scattered gravel, and the beetles seemed to be gone.

The Spy looked underneath before jumping from the top of the cave, picking up some crumbs from the ground and putting them in his mouth......

It seems that this direction is correct, the 'creator' has been flying in this direction all along, and the detritus here is left behind by it a few days and nights ago.

If you keep going......

The cavern ahead seemed to brighten up.

The air here was different from before, and it was moist, because a pool of water appeared in front of the Spy.

The lake is not very large, about ten meters in diameter, and the water's edge is covered with a fungus that emits a white light, which gives the surroundings a bright white color.

If you walk to the lake, you can see that the water is crystal clear, and there are some shrimp-like creatures at the bottom of the lake, as well as shellfish and snails.

However, Lynn was more concerned about the white objects at the bottom of the lake, and the Spy jumped into the water and swam in front of them......

These are also the skeletons of ...... 'creators', but unlike the previous ones, which were relatively complete, this one was all scattered, but basically undamaged, and this skeleton was almost the same as the one before when he died.

It seems that more than one 'creator' died here at that time, and maybe more can be found by going in further.

The Spy emerges from the water and continues deeper into the cavern, where he soon sees another pool of water.

The water is very similar to what I saw before, with clear water and many small creatures moving in it, but the depth of this lake is different, there is a large cave at the bottom of the lake, which seems to lead to a deep place.

Sure enough, I should have gone in and had a look.

Despite this, Lynn did not go inside, and the spy left the lake and continued on his way.

Here Lin found a lot of lakes, but they were basically not deep, like the one that had a hole in the bottom before.

And there are some skeletons of 'creators' in these waterholes, which are basically small pieces one by one.

The bones of what appears to be the creator of the zào were broken apart and thrown into the lakes.

Because it's been a long time, it's hard to tell what threw these bones around.

However, the previous traces did not disappear, and the Spy tasted the sand on the ground as he walked out of the lake-filled area.

It's already close...... It's the debris it left over from the previous day and night.

After leaving the lake with fluorescent fungus, the Spy re-enters a dark space, and a rock wall stands in front of Lynn.

Strange, can't we move forward here? However, the detribs left behind by the 'creators' prove that it is moving forward.

And the walls here are quite smooth, so ...... There may be ...... here

When the Spy looked around, he noticed a bee-shaped statue on a rock wall not far away.

The Spy walked over and pulled the statue off......

'Boom! ’。

At that moment, there was a loud bang from the rock wall in front of him, and the entire wall in front of the spy was suddenly covered with countless cracks, which then crumbled and scattered, turning into a mass of debris.

Seem...... How is this the case? Lin thought there was a door opening on the wall or something.

Maybe this mechanism has been in place for too long, so it collapsed when it was activated.

In that case, let's dig up here......

This taste......

Just as the spy was preparing to act, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

Looking in the direction of the smell, I saw a creature in the area where there was a lake before, and it was floating on a pool of water.

Is that the 'creator'? No, that's not the one who created the zào......

If you look closely, you will see that the figure of this thing is ethereal, like a phantom floating on the surface of the water, and it also emits a strange light.

As the Spy walked by, it vanished in an instant, turning into a mass of light dust that drifted through the air.

The Spy grabbed a handful of light dust and discovered that it was a small glowing insect that had just gathered in large numbers to form the appearance of a 'Creator'.

Why is this happening? Does this creature have anything to do with the 'creator'? (To be continued......)
