Chapter 169: Tiny Memory
'Gollum ......'
Small clouds, floating in the air.
It's a place that's deep underground, but it's still bright, and the most obvious view here is ...... Cloud.
Blocks of clouds of various shapes float in this cave space, and some of them are coral-like creatures growing in the sea of clouds, and they emit a soft light, although not very bright, but enough to illuminate the area.
The existence of the sea of clouds made the ground in the cave damp, and some creatures that looked like fish, but with thick flippers, slowly moved forward in this humid environment.
These half-fish have a number of small white creatures on their backs, ancient squid, which appear to be symbiotic, but it is still not clear that they have any partnership......
The half-fishes are now congregating in large numbers, carrying rock-like objects, placing them in one place, and then walking back to continue carrying them.
The stones were piled up in large quantities, like a hill, and they kept piling them up until they could no longer be piled up, and then they continued to pile them in another place.
When they are hungry, they pinch a small piece from the surrounding sea of clouds to eat, but it seems that many of the half-fish are in a state of 'malnutrition', they are all relatively thin, and some of them have collapsed in the process of transporting.
These creatures lived like this for days and nights......
During this time, they were piled up with several 'hills', and they seemed to have been piled up, and after that, they did not continue to pile up, but gathered around the hill, all looking up at something.
The ancient squid on their bodies has always been with them.
I saw that on the hill of piled stones, some creatures appeared, and these creatures had transparent bodies. Floating in mid-air, they are atmospheric creatures, much like atmospheric slimes.
These atmospheric creatures flew around the mountain of piled up rocks, and then flew in front of the half-fish standing at the bottom of the mountain.
The mouth of the half-fish standing at the front moved, as if saying something, but Lynn couldn't hear it.
And the ancient squid on the back of the half-fish is also constantly changing color, and they are all expressing some kind of message.
After this exchange lasted for a while, the atmospheric creature suddenly moved, and it spewed out a large amount of gas like a thick fog, after the half-fish ancient squid in front of it came into contact with it. He fell to the ground in an instant.
At this moment, it seemed that the creatures of the entire place had exploded, and all the half-fish rushed forward with their mouths wide open, and the atmospheric creatures also met at the same time.
As the whole scene became uncontrollable, the picture that Lin saw suddenly changed. Then it went dark......
It looks like it escaped, but it's pretty much the same......
As a matter of fact. A qiē scene just now. It was all Lynn had seen from a beetle's memory.
This kind of beetle is called a scarab beetle, although it is completely inconsistent with the original description of the scarab beetle in the vocabulary.
It's a carnivorous beetle that uses two pairs of jaws around its mouth that vibrate at high speeds to cut through pieces of flesh, as well as digging through rocks and sand, but the most interesting thing about them is their ability to turn into statues.
They store some of the ingredients they eat in the rocks, and then undergo some transformations in their bodies to form a golden shell on the surface of their bodies.
In this state. The fact that they were able to keep themselves alive with little to no wear and tear was something like a slumber, meaning that the beetles that the Spy had seen earlier were actually a group of 'old' creatures. In short, they are alive when this place is full of creatures.
Although they lock themselves off completely, they also have the ability to quickly wake up, and when the Spy gets close, they wake up from the shock caused by the Spy and attempt to attack the Spy.
However, the Spy can secrete substances that paralyze the attacking beetles, while the Spy kills some of the worms attached to his body, puts miniature units into them, and slowly breaks them down as nutrients to replenish the Spy.
On the way to dismantle them, Lynn discovers the ability of this beetle, they have a special place to store memories, and unlike ordinary insects, they can record events for quite a long time.
Lynn puts a beetle into a dream and makes its memories come through, and they have good eyesight, so they can see very clearly.
However, because I don't seem to have hearing, I don't have any sound in my memory......
Many of the beetle's memories are of it burrowing around in dark, narrow places, and some of them tearing flesh in large quantities, but Lynn found a memory of a beetle that liked to stay still so that it could see the changes around it perfectly......
In her memory, Lynn could see the old sights of this place, which was originally inhabited by quite a few half-fish and ancient squid, and in addition to these creatures, there were also some creatures that were like sea creatures, such as corals and the like.
Unlike Lin thought, there was no water here, but there was quite a sea of clouds, and they relied on the moisture generated by the sea of clouds, and as long as the gills were kept moist for a long time, it was true that ancient squid could also live on land.
However, the state of their life here is not very good, the main reason is that the food is very scarce, they only eat a small amount of the sea of clouds, in fact, the sea of clouds can not eat more, most of the microorganisms in it are toxic, and the half fish may not be able to tolerate a large amount of toxins, but they can not help but eat.
Their main job seems to be to carry the rocks, not for themselves, but for the strange atmospheric creatures.
Those atmospheric creatures are like slimes, and I don't know if they have anything to do with the 'creators'.
The stones that the half-fish carried were supposed to be the materials used to make the golden statues, and they also depicted this on the paintings, but there were no golden statues in the beetle's memory.
Strangely, it seems that these slimes made them made, and have nothing to do with the 'creators'.
The half-fish, when they finally piled up with rocks, seemed to have some kind of argument with the slimes, with the slimes attacking first, and then the half-fishes rushing forward.
As they began to fight, the beetle turned around and fled into the darkness, not taking note of what was happening.
Later, Lynn read the memories of many beetles, but most of them hid in the shadows, and they didn't see much about the aftermath of the battle......
Perhaps, nothing here has anything to do with the 'creators', but they stumbled upon the golden statues here and wanted to take advantage of them?
Or rather, those slimes are the 'subordinates' of the one who created the zào or something.
However, Lynn also found something else interesting in the beetle's memory...... (To be continued......)
