Chapter 93: Avoid

“There are a lot of creatures here, but they will avoid it.”

In the dream, Ersh is moving slowly in the 'river'.

It was as if there was a transparent cover, and the liquid composed of dream energy was all separated when it approached the dream realm.

So the Ershi people on the surface watched the wonders in the sky while continuing to practice their movements on the ground.

These Ershi people have now made a new discovery. They feel that if they practice well, they will be able to relax a lot more.

Because the speed they imagine is faster than the speed of their bodies' movements.

Simply put, they can quickly think of a set of actions, and then the body will take action.

This is equivalent to 'presetting' a series of actions for yourself.

Although they are not yet very skilled at making them bump into each other frequently, the Ershi people have already seen the potential of this control method, so more and more of them are coming to practice.

While they were practicing this, Lin was mainly paying attention to... the situation outside.

Indeed, many creatures can be seen in the liquid flowing in the sky, and the shapes of these creatures look somewhat like stones.

Most of these creatures were looking this way. Although they had no eyes or anything, Lin could sense that they were staring at... the ground.

The Fragments said that they would not approach the Dreamland of Ersh, but that was not 100% certain.

Because Lin could see some creatures in the sky trying to squeeze in here.

The sky does have a layer of "protective shield", or it can be said to be a soft structure like foam.

Lin could see several cone-shaped creatures with rock-like shells twisting on the shield, as if trying to get in.

And one of them actually succeeded.

The sharp part of its bottom pierced a small hole in the shield, and then it began to drill frantically to make the hole bigger. In the end, it made a hole big enough for its entire body to fit through.

Then, the cone-shaped stone squeezed in and fell toward the ground.

What’s more interesting is that after it comes in, the hole it made heals instantly, so no more creatures can get in.

This conical stone was more than 300 meters in size. It was spinning at high speed and crashing into the ground from an altitude of more than 100,000 meters. Before it reached the ground, a series of explosions occurred around its body.

The explosions were from defensive weapons on the ground, with some of the tall trees firing into the sky.

They fired a barrage of wood-like chips from the treetops, which flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed... and exploded loudly after hitting the target.

Under the salvo of hundreds of trees, the spinning conical rocks were shattered by successive explosions before they reached the ground.

When it reached an altitude of about 10,000 meters, it turned into a cloud of drifting dust.

This is quite interesting. These trees are Dream Ersh’s automatic defense system. Unlike before, there is no need to wait for the target to reach the surface before attacking.

Since what is fired are wood chips, the shooting process is also the process of the entire tree disintegrating itself. When they are fired, you can see the tree splitting into countless pieces from the top and flying away.

However, after destroying the target, they will quickly regrow the part that was launched as wood chips.

As the trees were growing again, Lin noticed again that there were several conical stones in the sky, similar to the previous ones, with holes drilled in them.

Why do they want to come in so much?

Most of the creatures just flew through the sky and didn't seem to want to come in.

Shattered Shadow didn't know why these creatures were like this.

In fact, Shadow Broken had not carefully studied the emotions of these creatures, it just knew that they had such behavior.

Because for a long time, Fragment has seen many creatures create huge vehicles like Dreamersh to travel into the depths.

Many creatures encountered along the way will generally avoid the huge vehicle.

The same goes for this 'river'. It avoids Dream Ersh not because Dream Ersh itself really has some protective shield.

But rivers are also living things.

It has a name - the First Flow. It is not a single organism, but a collection of a large number of organisms.

It can also be said to be a large amount of initial consciousness.

Unlike the normal void, the Unforeseen Land is filled with sentient creatures.

In the normal void, many "primitive" creatures, such as fungi, have no consciousness. As for cellular organisms... generally speaking, they have to grow neural structures and brains to have their own consciousness.

The creatures in unpredictable places, even the most primitive and ancient species, are conscious.

The standard of "consciousness" mentioned here is to have self-awareness, absorb information from the surrounding environment and process it.

This kind of "river" is the convergence of a large number of original consciousnesses, and countless tiny consciousnesses are mixed in the dream energy that constitutes the river-like state.

They are very small, almost the same size as cells.

But they can also recognize and think about their surroundings. These miniature consciousnesses generated the idea of ​​moving forward where they were born.

When a large number of micro-consciousnesses move together in one direction, they form this huge river.

Although these micro-consciousnesses can think, their intelligence level is very low.

They usually sense the void and move in the direction where they think there is food.

When they gather in large numbers, they can sense considerable distances, but they have no idea what will happen along the way.

As for those large, stone-like creatures floating in the river, they are considered to be 'passing by'.

That is, the place they want to go is in the same direction as the river, so they move forward along the river.

These creatures were common to Shatter, but it had never studied them in detail, only observing their behavior in general.

When these micro-consciousnesses avoid huge vehicles, they also create a layer of "matter" to wrap around the target they want to avoid.

This is also how the 'shield' that covers the dream Ersh came about.

Most creatures will avoid huge vehicles, but there are some strange ones... like now, that want to get in.

They drilled in one after another and crashed into the ground, but most of them were blown to pieces in the air.

But they still keep trying to get in here.

The large number of invaders has almost consumed all the trees on the surface, and they will continue to launch wood chips to attack until the last small stump is left.

When the attack power weakened, a creature approached the surface.

It smashed with a huge bang, creating a large cloud of dust, but did not hit the ground.

Because it hit a giant object that came out of the ground.
