Chapter 114 Chase for No Reason

This is... a crystal!

There are crystals everywhere, but Lin's micro-driller found a special crystal in this dead brain, just like the one found in the brain of the fungus, this is also a crystal of vision...

It wasn't embedded in any cells, it just lay quietly among a pile of dead structures.

It's really strange, do subtype brains also have this kind of crystallization? what does that mean? This is really hard to figure out...

Anyway, if you find it, collect it, maybe other creatures have brains too? But there are definitely no brain worms... Lin originally thought that these crystals would be extremely small and would be difficult to find, but now it seems that Lin may already know how to find them.

Although I don't know what the purpose of collecting it is, this thing is indeed unusual.

After swallowing the tiny crystals, the driller was ready to retreat back to where he came from, back to the spy.

The spy has been staying in front of this dead head, Susumi jumps on the ground and looks around this strange crystalline room, it will not go far, and Lin is thinking about something.

The subgroup may have hid in this place to avoid being exterminated by the plague fungus. They are not aggressive. Although we haven't seen what the standing scorpion eats yet, they don't seem to pose a great threat to the surrounding creatures. .

Before the brain died, I don't know how long they lived here. Most of the various crystalline structures here should have been established at that time. Although this group of standing scorpions is still continuing to build, it is estimated that their entire group will be destroyed soon. collapse.

"Guru, quack, quack!" The sound of standing scorpions fighting with each other was heard from outside. From here, one could see a group of standing scorpions fighting around a standing scorpion. They smashed its carapace with crystals and were besieged. The viscera of the standing scorpion spilled all over the floor.

And after the group of standing scorpions finished fighting, one of the standing scorpions said something that he didn't know. They also fought each other.

They are now on the verge of destruction, and it may have started after the brain died, but what Lin is more curious about is that if they were originally creatures with a unified mind, why would they have so many different personalities after losing brain control? After observing for a long time, Lin also gradually understood the reason why they fought each other.

Some just get into fights over little things. For example, one standing scorpion bumped into the other, or they were walking in a narrow path at the same time, and neither of them would give way to the other... Then they fought.

They can't be called 'different personalities' in this situation,

It's almost like two different species meeting each other, usually one-on-one, both of them will be wounded, and then both will die due to lack of treatment. However, it is also very common to fight one more, and they always seem to be arguing about something...

Of course, not every standing scorpion will fight because of a small problem, otherwise Lin will only see corpses here, and the main reason they fight is because of... food.

The spy looked out and saw a standing scorpion running with a chubby caterpillar in its hand, followed by a large group of standing scorpions. The standing scorpion holding the caterpillar suddenly tripped over a piece of crystal on the ground, and the standing scorpion chasing it instantly surrounded it and beat it violently in various ways, and the standing scorpion was also struggling continuously, at this moment One day, a standing scorpion accidentally stepped on the caterpillar, and the caterpillar's bodily fluids exploded all over the floor.

These standing scorpions immediately stopped fighting, and each of them lay on the ground trying to lick the liquid.

How hungry are they? The strange thing is that they don't eat the carcasses of their own kind. The huge pile of corpses were all rotten and they didn't care about it. Although the standing scorpions don't have a 'tongue' organ, they used their fine teeth to eat up the liquid on the ground almost in an instant, and then... beat the caterpillar just now. The standing scorpion who ran.

Speaking of which, the outside situation is a little better. The standing scorpions that Lin saw before will cooperate in the construction, and they are not very good at grabbing food. Why does this happen when this is the center?

Lin felt that there was a possibility that Lixie might not be responsible for delivering food to each other...

Those standing scorpions outside can catch some other creatures to eat. So their situation is better, but there is no standing scorpion to take the food back to share, so the standing scorpion can only compete with each other for the little food left.

Why doesn't the standing scorpion inside run out? Don't know yet.

There is another troublesome place for standing scorpions to eat. They seem to break up the food, and then let a caterpillar-like creature eat it and digest it. Then eat the nutrient solution spit out by caterpillars, because there are not many caterpillars, so they need to compete.

Lin is still not sure who gave birth to these caterpillars, or even how the standing scorpion was produced. Usually, division-of-labor species have a queen to be responsible for production, but the standing scorpion does not seem to need a queen to give birth, and those small caterpillars just Don't know where it came from.

Maybe look into it?

The spy picked up the driller that climbed out, and now that the crystal has been recovered, Lin felt that it was necessary to take this thing back. If the investigation continues here, what happened to the spy? This crystal is easy to lose, such a small thing It is very difficult to find it again.

Lin greeted Susumi, and it immediately ran over and climbed onto the spy. Lin didn't know how Susumi would feel about seeing this here, after all, Lin didn't say anything to it.

At this time, Lin noticed several standing scorpions beside the brain. They had been staying next to the huge crystal that covered the brain, and they were in an extremely sad mood.

Lin felt that they might be missing this brain, just like the skeletal dragons, if a member died, they would stay beside the corpse and become very sad.

Sadness is a very special emotion, and it is generally an emotion that occurs when "the situation cannot be accepted", which will cause the creature to become a situation where it does not want to do anything.

But only a few standing scorpions are sad here, most of the others are fighting outside.

In short, let's go back to Leviathan now, thinking, the spy was about to walk out of the area where the brain crystals were placed, but the moment he turned around, it stopped.

I saw a large group of standing scorpions surrounded here outside. They all contained angry emotions. I don't know what made them want to attack this place, but this is definitely not a good thing for Lin.

And the sad standing scorpions beside Lin who had been staying there suddenly became angry. They ran to the entrance and yelled at the standing scorpions surrounding here.

Lin understood a little bit what they were saying, maybe they were saying something like 'leave, die'.

The surrounded Lixie also started to fight back with the same words, and the two sides quarreled like this. The quarrel lasted for about ten seconds, but the Lixie on Lin's side rushed forward first!

The other party also reacted at the same time, the two sides fought each other, and there were two spies who were standing on the scorpion towards Lin and rushed over.

The spy immediately leaned over to avoid the claws of the two standing scorpions, and slammed their abdomens at the same time, and the two standing scorpions were immediately sent flying along with this force.

Lin has long thought of this situation, so the spy's muscle is much stronger than that of the general standing scorpion. Although the standing scorpion has not been completely disassembled, it can be seen from their usual activities how their muscles are.

After flying two standing scorpions, Lin ignored those standing scorpions who were still fighting each other, and the spy rushed out quickly, leading Susumi back to the original route.

"Ah wow!" At this moment, there was a shout from behind the spy, and a group of standing scorpions actually chased them up from behind.

Why are they chasing spies? Lin found that they all had extremely angry emotions. These standing scorpions seemed to get angry easily. Does this have anything to do with the depressive life here? Or did they discover that the spy force was abnormal?

Standing scorpions have ten jointed limbs like ordinary scorpions. They only use four jointed limbs to walk. The upper body stands upright, and the six limbs are free. Although this is convenient for holding things, the speed becomes much slower.

The spy lay on the ground like a scorpion and moved quickly with all its joints, easily leaving the group of standing scorpions behind. Passing through the trail full of corpses, Lin quickly arrived at the entrance of the crystallization passage that she had come in before. .

this is……

Lin found that the crystal channel was blocked by a huge creature. It looked like a huge worm, more than three meters tall and maybe six meters in length. Its body completely blocked the entrance of the channel, and there were a group of people around it. Li scorpion surrounded it, seeming to be cheering non-stop, as if very excited.

What kind of creature is this? Lin looked behind, and those standing scorpions had already caught up, so they had to change direction and run away.

There are many crystallization passages on the cave wall here, but they don't know where they all lead, so the spy randomly chooses the nearest passage to enter.

The spy quickly ran to the depths along the passage. There are many standing scorpions in this passage. They looked at the spy curiously, but they did not do anything special. Soon, Lin saw the exit of the passage.

A spacious space appeared in front of Lin's eyes. There were some large red crystals standing on the ground here. Many standing scorpions were lying beside these crystals. They all looked listless, as if they were about to die.

These red crystals are an eyesore, and the spies can't see if there is any way out here. When Lin was about to go in and have a look, the group of standing scorpions lying listlessly on the ground suddenly stood up. They shouted and took out a piece of crystal. The red spar was thrown over here.

The spy stood up and slapped the thrown crystals away, and at the same time stepped back. It seemed that this place was also impassable...

And just when the spy was about to retreat into the crystal channel, there was a "crack" sound from his back, and Susumi was hit by a piece of red crystal, which had some sharp thorns on the surface, and Susumi was hit The place has been drawn with blood.

"Quack quack!" Susumi suddenly jumped off the spy's back as if going crazy, and ran into the depths of the cave. (to be continued...)
