Chapter 36 Buried Objects
Why did they leave a shadow monster here?
This is a difficult problem to solve, but Lin can confirm that it has been dead for a long time, and there are no Inca swarm related troops around.
Moreover, these things buried under the mountain do not seem to be the main targets of the scorpions. After they dug out these creatures, they put them aside, and then continued to dig down.
It seems that there is something they are interested in buried in the mountains of this island, and they have only recently started to dig at the depth of their digging. They should not have been digging when they first moved here.
Lin felt that it was necessary to observe and observe here. The pompom floated slowly in the group of standing scorpions, and flew to the side of the third excavation pit. The body of the shadow monster dug up was thrown there, although it seemed to be frozen. That, but actually died decades ago.
And more than that.
Most of the things dug by the neutral scorpion in some nearby pits are arthropod structures. Lin found that they are almost all related to the Inca swarm. The arthropod legs in the first pit are sand-spraying insects. Legs, and other pits also have these wreckage to some extent, but only the corpse of the shadow monster is relatively complete.
Maybe what happened to the Inca swarms on their journey, did they experience a battle here? Caused some troops to die here and be buried?
Then Li Scorpion may be looking for the reason for this.
Although there are many scorpions near the pom-pom eating fish and chatting on the snow, they are talking about delicious and interesting topics. There is absolutely no information about what they are mining.
Just like when they fought the Emerald Dragon, they didn't discuss any tactics at all.
Their habit is quite interesting. However, Lin also discovered the 'voice' of another creature, which came from an ice pyramid not far away.
The pom-pom floated over quickly. The pyramid was more than 30 meters high. The outer wall of the whole tower looked very irregular, with many thorn-like bump-like protrusions. The outer wall is very hard, which seems to be made by sticking the scorpion with water and other impurities and mucus little by little.
After the weather gets colder. They can still think of this method to make buildings, it's really not easy...
Inside the pyramid is a relatively empty space, where a standing scorpion and a yellow creature can be seen 'communicating'.
"Hand over your treasure and tell your secrets!" "Don't think about it!" "Then I'll have to dig out your guts.
""I'll bite and kill you. "
This is the content of their dialogue, but Li Scorpion uses voice, and the other side uses brain waves.
This is another brain-building monster, it appears to be caught by the scorpion, and its legs are buried in the ground. Only a fat body was left half exposed on the ground.
Maybe the brain-creators in the sea have kept a lot of 'treasures'? Then they will be chased and killed by the scorpion.
"Treasure." "No." "Treasure." "You turn your head and look and you'll find it." "Treasure." , but their conversation seems to be fruitless.
The 'treasure' of this brain-creating monster should not have been brought with him, otherwise Li Scorpion should have cut it open long ago.
But in order to be able to understand the situation more clearly, Lin joined the conversation.
"What are you digging for?" The pompom floated directly to Li Scorpion's side and asked with a sound.
"Gu ah?" The Li Scorpion was suddenly shocked. It jumped a few steps and let out a loud cry, and a large number of standing scorpions rushed into the entrance around the pyramid, and they looked left and right looking for their target.
The scorpions didn't find anything suspicious, but they were trusting their companions now, so they didn't think the screaming scorpion was deceiving them. They just thought they couldn't find it, so they all kept a nervous attitude and stayed here.
It seems that maybe a spy should be brought out. It's easier to mix them in.
Just when Lin thought so, the brain-creator suddenly sent out a brainwave message; "I know where it is, I will find it, let me go, and I will not bite and kill you."
The scorpions looked at the brain-creator, and one scorpion said, "Kill it."
"No!!!" Under the screams of the brain-building monster, all the scorpions rushed up, they surrounded the brain-building monster, and the sharp arthropods kept grabbing it, and within tens of seconds After that, the brain-creator turned into a pile of minced meat.
The record ball is indeed not inside, but the scorpions don't seem to care about killing this clueless creature, and then they quickly ate the meat of the brain-creator, and then they all dispersed and left the pyramid .
However, this should not be the only one.
Lin's pom poms also flew out of the pyramid. Looking at the sea in the distance, I saw that some scorpions were digging holes in the ice on the sea surface, and some scorpions were flying away. Maybe they were still there. Hunt down other brain-creators.
Next, the pompoms stayed here for many days and nights, watching the lives of the scorpions. They usually fly around during the day, and stay in the pyramid at night. All the food is found in the sea, and they don't care at all. Whether they eat corpses or live, they recently caught another brain-building monster and kept asking where the treasure was.
However, this brain-creator is the same as the previous one, it refuses to say anything.
Lin found that most of the brain-building monsters they caught were active on the ice on the sea surface. I don't know why, maybe because of the cold, they all came to the ice, which also made them better. Caught a lot.
But the brain-creators are quite "stubborn". It is better to find them yourself instead of asking them where the recording balls are hidden.
They are also digging deeper and deeper down the mountain. Before, they dug a lot of holes, but now they have only dug one place and dug a long channel under the mountain.
This passage is very strange. The bottom is not the usual mud and stone, but a place as white as ice and snow, but this is not ice, but a strange color of rock.
Now, the pom-pom is slowly floating in this snow-white place, surrounded by snow-white rock walls, and there is no wreckage of the Inca swarm in the deeper position, and in the front, Lin can see a group of standing The scorpion continued to dig.
Here is where they dig.
They dug a large space here, a hole with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and on the ground you can see the shape of a huge thing...
It seems to be buried in the ground, and a part of it has been dug out. At first glance, it looks like a big rock, but... this is a creature, maybe...
There are no organs or limbs on its surface, but Lin's research on it found that the composition of this thing is very special, and it contains most of the substances in living things.
That is, the components contained in biological cells are all contained in this piece, but the strange thing is that there is no cell structure in this piece. It feels like this piece of material is specially torn up all the cells, and then all the components are mixed into one piece. mixture of.
But it's more than just a mix, there are a lot of holes and pipe-like structures in it, don't know what it means...
Why is this wonderful thing here? But Li Scorpion's goal doesn't seem to be this thing.
Although this piece is more than ten meters long and five meters wide, it seems to be very light. A few standing scorpions easily moved this piece to the side, and then continued to dig below.
Soon, they finally found what they were going to dig...
That's... a record ball.
When they found the ball, the scorpions cheered excitedly. They congratulated each other and took the ball out of the hole.
They dig so hard and dig out so many wonderful things, but are they really just looking for a ball?
This feels a bit disappointing... But Lin found that their record ball is a bit different, and the color of the outer shell seems to be quite special at present.
And I don't know what's going on inside.
Pom Pom followed the scorpions and watched them come out of the hole, then put the ball of record in the pyramid, and dug a hole in the pyramid and buried it.
They seem to deal with the recording ball very casually. I remember that they also placed the crystal of the main brain in the past, but this time there are some standing scorpions guarding it.
But they didn't notice that the discolored pom-pom floated to the place where the ball of record was buried. The pom-pom stretched its fur into the ground and found the ball of record.
The sharp long hairs secreted the solution and pierced into the recording sphere, quickly groping for the structure inside.
Lin found that this record ball is indeed different. It is alive, and the brain part is relatively large. Generally, the record ball has a brain part but it is very small, and this one occupies almost half of it, but it is sleeping now. state.
This recording sphere seems to record things primarily with the brain, and not the other way around.
The pom-pom slightly stimulated the recording ball with the tip of its tentacles, causing it to wake up, and when it woke up, the pom-pom quickly tapped into its nerve cords.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed instantly and became a vast ocean.
Lin brought it into the dream world, and used a special method to make it manifest her own memory, that is to say, let the ball... 'dream' by itself.
At this time, an island suddenly appeared in the vast ocean, and countless plants and dust also covered the island. This island is the island where the scorpion lives now, but it seems to have been overgrown with plants at the beginning, and even more bigger.
On this island, there are a large group of... bugs, they seem to be exploring the island, devouring the creatures on the island, but another creature is watching them. (To be continued.
