Chapter 6 Another Creature
Lin's fluff...was killed.
Killed by this creature that looked like a pile of white gravel.
Its method of attack is mainly to launch fine sand at a very fast speed.
These gravels are about the same size as the cells that Lin usually uses. When they are fired densely and at high speed, they can indeed quickly crush the fluff.
However, Lin was not completely killed.
Because Lin's fluff had released a lot of miniature soldiers not long ago, some of them flew to the "ocean" behind for testing.
The soldiers still in the water could observe that the ball of sand did not leave after killing Lin's ball of fluff.
Instead, we continue to send out some information here.
"We have discovered something that we didn't expect, and are transmitting information... The target object doesn't need to be destroyed. But there's no problem with destroying it, so let's continue."
After sending these messages, it moved away as if it was about to leave.
But it only flew for a few seconds before stopping.
"You are a target from the ancient times... Why are you here? Do you want to destroy it? Or do you want to reach that place? But both are impossible, impossible..."
After saying that, the pile of sand continued to move away. This time it did not stop, but quickly moved away from here.
“It came from that place.”
At this moment, Lin suddenly sensed... the message from the convener.
However, its information was not sent from any branch of the army, but from the original location of Baisha.
The content of this information... is quite interesting. It tells Lin the origin of this ball of white sand.
It mainly belongs to a certain creature on the other side, that is, in an unforeseen place... That creature is said to be a very large creature, which can be called the creature of the 'Doomsday Tunnel'.
This creature is a pure species from the Unforeseen Land, and it has the same ideas as the Sea of Creation.
That is to build a 'bridge' extending to the normal void.
It seems to have been doing this for a long time...but it is said that it has never succeeded.
Because the bridge it built can only extend a short distance and cannot connect to the normal void.
However, it has been using various methods to 'peek' into the normal void, so it has a certain understanding of the normal void.
And the more it peeks, the more it wants to come into contact with the normal void.
As for why it is called the 'Tunnel of Doom'... that's because the bridge it creates, or a passage it can be said to be, usually lasts for a long time.
Because it lasted for a very long time, over time creatures would often enter and live in this place.
Then, its passage will end.
If it were 'normal', this bridge would last forever, but it would always be destroyed due to many unexpected events.
For example, space collision or something like that.
In short, if such an incident occurs, it will definitely be a major event that destroys the entire bridge channel.
Of course, it also affects the creatures living inside, so it is called the "Doomsday Tunnel".
Despite its name, the Tunnel of Doom is a very kind creature.
Because every time an accident happens in the channel and it is about to face doomsday, it will send out some "troops" to rescue the creatures in the channel.
The Baisha that Lin met belonged to this kind of rescue team.
It is said that there are some very ancient creatures that have been living in the passage, and they are rescued every time the 'doomsday' comes.
Then they follow the 'Tunnel of Doom' to the next passage bridge and continue to live there.
They continued this lifestyle for a long time, and the name "Doomsday Tunnel" was given by this group of creatures.
And now 'doomsday' has come again.
At least that's what they think.
This time, the passage bridge created by the Doomsday Tunnel connects to the Sea of Creation...the Bridge of Consciousness.
This place can be said to be a very long channel formed by the mixture of the two sides.
The Sea of Creation allowed its consciousness to begin to extend, quickly moving in the direction of swallowing the Doomsday Tunnel.
You could also say it's eating up that part of the bridge in the Tunnel of Doom.
After discovering the consciousness of the Sea of Creation, the Tunnel of Doom believed that this was a doomsday phenomenon similar to the past.
Then it sent troops like Baisha here to take away the creatures that originally lived in the passage.
Initially, quite a few creatures were taken away, but some...problems also arose.
That is, the Sea of Creation also sent out some creatures.
I don’t know whether they are the creator’s species or some other creature, but in any case, many creatures appeared on the consciousness bridge of the Sea of Creation. These creatures disguised themselves as creatures living in unpredictable places and were taken away by Baisha.
Once picked up, they would carry out various...destructive actions.
Like self-destruction or something.
Using this method, they appear to have killed some of the Tunnel of Doom's troops.
The Tunnel of Doom then noticed that this incident seemed to be more serious, so it began to strictly detect any creatures that were taken away.
If it is not a species that originally lived here, it will not take it away but will kill it.
This action has been going on for a long time and seems to be very successful.
Because Baisha had later almost completely cleared out those creatures that had infiltrated the Sea of Creation.
Just now they also thought Lin was from the Sea of Creation, so they killed Lin's fluff.
And now it seems to have rescued all the creatures and is ready to leave this place.
Although they tried to deal with the growing consciousness of the Sea of Creation, they were unable to do so.
Therefore, they decided to give up this place and leave.
But the conveners now say they will not give up so easily.
Because Baisha knows the convener.
The convener said that it had come into contact with the Doomsday Tunnel a long time ago and had some communication.
It just told Baisha that the consciousness of the Sea of Creation is not a simple 'doomsday phenomenon'.
Instead, it is a channel that connects to the normal void.
As long as it reaches this passage, the Doomsday Tunnel can reach where it has always wanted to go... the normal void.
The convener believes that the Doomsday Tunnel will definitely dispatch a large force to attack the consciousness of the Sea of Creation.
If it was just an ordinary 'doomsday phenomenon', it would definitely not care and would just evacuate.
But if it could reach the normal void, it would probably act with all its strength.
This would completely resolve the threat posed by the Sea of Creation and accomplish another thing at the same time.
The convener did not tell Lin what the matter was.
However, it means it is a very good thing for Lin.
After talking to the convener, Lin did see it... a huge army seemed to appear in the darkness in the distance.
