Chapter 62 The Worshiped Brain

This world... is full of darkness, and there will never be sunlight to shine here. Living here, only the horrible fluorescence can illuminate your vision. Don't approach them. Dark monsters are hidden in the sand, and they will devour your body. Life, we shall hunt in the shadows, crawl in the abyss, be consumed by nightmares, only after that flickering light, 'it' shines on us, if you make a sacrifice to the guardian, you can get 'it' redemption...

Come, dance in the dark, awaken those who sleep in the abyss...

………………

What is this? Is this what they think?

Lin swallowed the abyssal ancient squid he caught with the "resurrectionist", and Lin prepared some special things in the resurrection body, such as the latest type of "brain reader", the information it can read More than any previous brain reader, it can extract not only electronic signals, but also various other forms of information storage inside, and if necessary, it can also extract the substances in brain cells.

The complex of these substances is called "memory substance" by Lin. The location of their storage is mainly judged by the area of ​​the brain that responds to a creature seeing something familiar. The "memory substance" is detailed by the brain reader. Analyze it accurately and convert it into words that Lin can understand...

In order to analyze this information, the brain reader is made into a structure similar to the "memory area" of the brain, 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 was created based on the ability of the brain worm, and it has been able to obtain some recent information. And the ancient squid seems to like to explain things with images. It's fairly easy to read this way.

But... this message is quite strange. Even if it could be converted into understandable words, Lin didn't understand what they were doing.

It seems...they are 'worshiping' the huge crystal in this cave...why? Seems to be the first mention of the word 'worship'.

The term seems to refer to a very... liking for something? No, it seems to be stronger than liking, which is called worship.

Lin didn't quite understand, could this thing give them food? residence? or something else? In order to get here, they even have to prepare a lot of food for the giant mantis shrimp.

For a group of ancient squids that are more than 20 centimeters in length, how difficult it is to find food to feed a six-meter-long mantis shrimp, and there is not much food here. Speaking of it, Lin didn't even know where they got such a big fish of more than one meter, but obviously it would not be easy for them to catch.

Then this group of ancient squids are here after taking away the mantis shrimp... dancing? Why do such a strange move? Lin still has no way to read more detailed information...

They really put in a lot of effort,

Even Lin took an ancient squid and they haven't found it yet.

These ancient squids are also very intelligent, so they think about these weird things, and they feel a bit similar to... Tucker. By the way, the skeletal dragon can also be regarded as 'worship' for Lin's pompoms, but Lin has at least helped them , and here... Lin really doesn't think that crystallization will help these ancient squids.

While dancing their tentacles, they changed color. It has been more than five thousand seconds now, and their color changes are very regular. The color will change every one hundred seconds, 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 ancient abyss squid caught by the brain reader to mix them in. , which should give us a better understanding of their situation...

The ancient squid controlled by Lin slowly crawled into their group. Lin found that these ancient squid looked over here, but their movements did not stop.

Then, Lin let the ancient squids under her control do it together with them. The movements of swinging the tentacles and changing colors can be realized by the brain reader. After Lin did it synchronously for a while, they stopped paying attention to Lin. up.

This feeling is amazing... wait...?

Lin suddenly felt that the brain of the ancient squid seemed to have received some kind of signal. This signal was very vague, but it could be confirmed that it was sent from the crystal. It will have a very 'attractive' effect on the brain of the ancient squid.

It's like the feeling of being attracted by the opposite sex or something exciting, but this feeling is much stronger than usual, enough to have a weird effect on the brain of the ancient squid. Lin remembered that some creatures were eating a special After hallucinating plants, their brains will also have this kind of reaction... Could it be that this group of ancient squids made such strange movements?

But there should be no signal before doing it. How did the crystal attract the ancient squid in the first place? However, what Lin is most concerned about is what is going on with this signal, could it be... from the brain in crystallization?

Lin made the ancient squid stop waving its tentacles, and the signal immediately became less obvious and began to dissipate, and soon felt that there was no such signal.

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

And the moment Lin stopped, all the ancient squids around looked over at once, but their movements never stopped, but turned around with their protruding eyeballs.

They seem to have a lot of complaints about Lin's inaction, but they didn't have any complaints when they were captured by this ancient squid before. What does that mean?

Lin purposely stayed silent to see how they reacted. At first these ancient squids just looked this way, but after a few tens of seconds, Lin felt that they were clearly angry, and their colors began to change. Transform to red è.

The ancient squids like to use red è to express 'anger', but Lin still doesn't move, watching the 'anger value' of these ancient squids slowly increase, and finally seems to have risen to a limit, these ancient squids began to stop dancing Movements, surrounded one after another.

All kinds of colors flashed all over their bodies, basically containing angry messages. They entangled Lin's ancient squid with their tentacles, and then pulled them vigorously.

The ancient squid itself was very soft, and when it was pulled by such a large group of ancient squids, its body was torn into several pieces under the strong pulling force, and its internal organs and blood gushed out from the fracture...

After Lin's ancient squid was torn apart, the other ancient squids immediately returned to their positions and continued to wave their tentacles.

This group of ancient squid... seems to have gone crazy, do they value dancing more than their companions?

Lin estimated that this was the result of being under the influence of that signal for a long time. Their brains have been occupied by a large number of such signals, and they have become very weird. Waves are somewhat similar.

At this time, Lin suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance... and saw more ancient abyssal squid coming from a distance.

They seem to be other groups nearby. These ancient squids did not have hairtails or anything like that. They directly joined this group of dancing ancient squids. After they were arranged in the same formation around the crystal, they also started dancing... …

Next, Lin found that many abyssal ancient squids appeared in all directions of the open space. They circled around the crystal. After a while, the ground around the crystal was covered with dense ancient squids. They cooperated together. It started to dance, the tentacles kept waving, and the colors kept changing, but they were very consistent, it looked really... weird.

They're supposed to be crazy, it's not doing them any good, but they like it.

Lin is hesitating whether to kill them all? Let's take a look, or... first check the brain in the middle crystal.

An assassin stretched out his claws, aiming the tip of the claws at the hole made by the mantis shrimp.

'Boom! '

Accompanied by a small sound, a small 'egg' was launched by the assassin, and the egg stuck to the crystal pit, and a worm-shaped soldier about one centimeter long came out from the egg— —'Driller'.

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

Even a driller without a brain or any sensory organs can feel the strong signal emanating from it at this time. It seems to resonate with the dance of the ancient squid, and the signal seems to become more intense because they are dancing , but this signal is very monotonous, and it seems that it is not used for 'command'.

No matter how many, the driller drilled into the depths of the crystal, and slowly moved forward... As the crystal was continuously drilled, a new space appeared in front of Lin...

This is……

Only then did Lin discover that there was a hollow inside the crystal, and the brain was not fixed in the crystal, but...was floating in the hollow, which couldn't be seen from the outside.

No, it wasn't floating, Lin found that there were some tiny threads pulling the brain, hanging it in the center of the crystal.

Drillers don't have the ability to fly, and it seems that they have to change to get close to this brain, but Lin has discovered something wonderful before she can get close to the brain.

Lin discovered that a large number of arthropods were located on the crystal wall. These creatures were very small, only about 0.5 to 1 millimeter. Lin began to think that they might be the "troops" protecting the brain, but they were not.

These tiny arthropods are in constant battle with another creature that looks like... a fungus.

These fungi look like aggregated spheres of hyphae, they move slowly on the crystal wall, spray out a solution to attack those arthropods, and the arthropods are using a relatively common method - rushing up, tearing Crack these fungal balls and eat them.

When Lin's driller first came in, he saw them fighting. The numbers on both sides were extremely large, just like two armies, constantly fighting on the crystal wall... (to be continued...)
