Chapter 163: The Dark Waterway
Memory moth.
If I had to give them a name, it would be this one.
In the caves under the desert, they may be the most amazing creatures Lynn has found. These moths usually feed on the glowing fungi here, so they can emit light and can control the intensity of the light.
These creatures have a wonderful behavior, they will remember the appearance of some large creatures passing by, and then gather in large numbers to form the appearance of this creature...
The purpose of their behavior seems to be for reproduction, because only the males will gather in this way, and they use this mass gathering to attract the opposite sex...
They will not only imitate the appearance, but also make the action of the creature. Lin also saw a group of memory moths imitating the appearance of a spy. They gathered into the form of a spy, and made a spy walk on the ground, and also imitated running away. The action of going to the wall and pulling the statue.
The better it seemed, the more females would gather around the moths.
Lin didn't know how long they would remember a creature, but Lin also saw them imitating the appearance and behavior of the 'creator'.
At first the spies frightened them away, but then they gathered again, imitating the creator.
Now, Lynn is watching their behavior.
I saw the 'creator' formed by a large number of memory moths floating in the air. It flew over each water pool to observe, as if looking for something.
Moreover, it kept waving its arms, not knowing what it meant...
And in the end, it flew to a lake. Then it just stopped there. no more moving...
until hundreds of seconds have passed. This group of memory moths imitating the "creator" gathered around a considerable number of opposite sexes, and they slowly spread out, ending the imitation behavior and starting the next step of breeding activities.
It seems that the last step made by the 'creator' that can be seen here is to stare blankly on the lake.
When the spy walked to this lake, he could see that this lake was the one he had seen before, the only lake with a big hole in the bottom of the lake.
in this hole. Is there really something?
Because I don't know how deep,
So Lin plans to remodel the spy a bit before going in... The spy is now starting to dissolve the structures on both sides of the face and split the skin to form 'gills' on the skin.
Originally, the spies had a similar structure to be able to move in the water at any time, so now it is easy to change.
Soon, the spy was transformed into a form that could move through the water, essentially adding a pair of gills to the sides of its face.
‘Boom! ' When the cold feeling spread through the spy's body, the surroundings also became dark.
Spy, swam into a cave at the bottom of the lake...
There are quite a few shrimp creatures living in the cave. When they saw the spy come in, they spit bubbles and bounced to the sides. The spy was more concerned about a soft piece of shrimp in the swarm.
...is this the sea of clouds?
The spy stretched out his hand and grabbed the soft object and ate it for a little while. The spy found that it was mixed with a familiar creature... 'Cloud Weaver'.
It turns out that they also create the gelatinous substance of the sea of clouds in the water? This feels quite interesting.
And there are many similar cloud sea blocks floating here, but because there is no fog in the water, they don't look like clouds, more like floating blocks... fudge.
Gummy is a food made by Jade Dragon and is said to be very sweet.
This cave has been going into a deep place, and it is relatively narrow. Lin thinks that the figure of the 'creator' cannot enter unless they have some way of compressing their bodies, after all, they have very few bones.
But even then it was quite uncomfortable to have to be constantly crowded when coming in.
Lin thought they wouldn't come in, but it might have dropped something into it, so she floated on the lake and stared at the water in a daze...
this is……
The spy swam to a wonderful place, where the cave walls on both sides became much smoother, and some patterns were carved on the cave walls here.
These patterns... draw some creatures that look like fish, and the fish on the paintings are gathered together in large numbers, and they all look in one direction.
There was nothing in the direction they were looking at, because there was a missing piece of the painting, and the cave wall seemed to have been dug by something.
And these paintings seem to be things that existed a long time ago. The spies touched the traces of the paintings and felt that they seemed to be things that existed before the ice age.
Was this also drawn by the 'creator'? But it doesn't feel like it. Although Lin has not seen the creator draw things, she has seen their words.
The text written by the 'creator' should have been drawn with some kind of alloy object, and it can feel obviously smooth and neat to the touch, while the painting here is more like carved with stone or something.
Could there be another creature painting here?
The spy continued to swim deep into the cave, where he seemed to find a lot of interesting things.
With the advance of the spy, the cave ahead has begun to become narrower and narrower. There are various paintings on the cave wall here. It seems that there are many other creatures besides those fish-shaped creatures.
It includes some plants, sharks, and some creatures that Lin has not seen before. They are strange in shape and may be atmospheric creatures.
Everything here is carved out of stone, and it feels like a sea creature came here and painted these things.
But what exactly is this creature?
After swimming through this narrow cave with paintings, the spy's field of vision suddenly became wider, and the cave began to open upwards.
After swimming for a while, the spy found a bright light coming from the front, and at the same time, the spy also swam to the water.
This is... another cave?
Looking at the surrounding dark environment, the waterway I swam before seems to lead to another area, and this place is wider than the previous place. The ground is still covered with white gravel, but the roof and walls of the cave are all spies. out of sight.
What a vast place under this desert. It may be similar to the underground salt caves I have seen before. Maybe this desert has a large underground environment.
In this open environment, the most attractive thing for spies is the thing by the lake.
These things looked like olive-shaped objects one centimeter long, densely packed around the lake.
Is this... the egg of some kind of creature?
'Crack. ’ Suddenly, an olive-shaped object in front of the spy suddenly cracked. (To be continued..)
