Chapter 169 Tiny Memory
'Guru...'
Small clouds floated up in the air.
This is a place deep underground, but still bright, and the most obvious scenery here is... clouds.
Various shapes of cloud sea blocks float in this cave space. Some of the cloud seas have coral-like creatures. They emit a soft light. Although they are not very bright, they are enough to illuminate the area.
The existence of the sea of clouds made the ground in the cave wet, and some creatures like fish but with thick flippers moved slowly in this wet environment.
These half-fish have a lot of small white creatures on their backs - ancient squid, they look like symbiosis, but it is still not clear that they have any cooperative relationship...
The half-fish are now gathering together in large numbers, carrying some objects like stones, they put these objects in one place, and then walk back to continue carrying.
These stones were piled up in large quantities, like a small mountain. They kept piling stones here until the piles could no longer be piled up, and then they continued to pile up in another place.
When they are hungry, they will pinch a small piece from the surrounding sea of clouds to eat, but it seems that many half-fish are in a state of 'malnutrition'. collapsed.
These creatures lived such a life for several days and nights...
During this period, they piled up several 'hills', and it seemed that they were finally piled up. After that, they did not continue to pile up, but gathered around the hill, all looking up and looking at something. .
The ancient squid on them has also been with them.
I saw some creatures appear on the piled stone hills, and these creatures have transparent bodies. Floating in mid-air, they are atmospheric creatures, much like atmospheric slimes.
These atmospheric creatures flew around the piled stone mountain, and then flew to the half-fish standing at the foot of the mountain.
The mouth of Mian Banyu who was standing at the front was moving, as if he was saying something, but Lin couldn't hear the sound.
And the ancient squid on the back of the half-fish is also constantly changing color, they are all expressing some kind of information.
After this communication continued for a while, the atmospheric creature suddenly moved, and it spewed out a large amount of gas like a thick fog, after the half-fish and the ancient squid in front of it came into contact.
He fell to the ground instantly.
At this moment, it seemed that the creatures in the whole place erupted, and all the half-fish rushed up with their mouths open, and the atmospheric creatures also fought at the same time.
When the whole scene became uncontrollable, the screen that Lin saw suddenly changed. Then it became pitch black...
It seems that it has escaped, but it is almost the same to see here...
Actually. Everything just now. It's all from Lin's memory of a beetle.
This kind of beetle is called a scarab, although it does not match the scarab originally described in the vocabulary.
It's a carnivorous beetle that cuts meat with two pairs of jaws that vibrate at high speed, as well as digs rocks and sand, but what's most interesting about them is their ability to turn into statues.
They will store some of the ingredients they eat in the rock, and then undergo some transformations in the body to form a golden shell on the body surface.
in this state. They can survive with almost no loss, which is a state similar to sleep, that is to say, the group of beetles the spy saw before is actually a group of relatively 'ancient' creatures. In short, when the place was full of creatures, they were alive.
Although they are completely blocked, they also have the ability to wake up quickly. When the spy is approaching, they are already awakened by the shock caused by the spy and try to attack the spy.
However, the spy can secrete some substances to make the attacking beetles fall into a state of paralysis. At the same time, the spy kills some bugs that stick to the body, puts micro-arms into them, and slowly decomposes them to supplement the spy as nutrients.
On the way to decompose them, Lin discovered the ability of this beetle. They have a special place to store memory, and unlike ordinary insects, they can record things for a long time.
Lin let a beetle enter a dream and let its memory come out. They have good eyesight, so they can show a very clear scene.
But because it seems that there is no hearing, there is no sound in the memory...
Many of the beetles' memories are of it burrowing around in darker and narrower places, and some of them tearing apart a lot of meat, but Lin still found the memory of a beetle that likes to stay still. , so it can perfectly see the changes in the surrounding scene...
In her memory, Lin can see the previous scene of this place. There used to be quite a lot of half-fish and ancient squids. Besides these creatures, there are some creatures like marine creatures, such as corals and so on. .
Contrary to what Lin thought, there was no water here, but there were quite a few seas of clouds. They depended on the moisture generated by the sea of clouds. As long as the gills were kept moist for a long time, ancient squid could indeed live on land.
However, their living conditions here are not very good, mainly due to the lack of food. They only eat a small amount of the sea of clouds. In fact, the sea of clouds cannot be eaten. Most of the microorganisms in it are poisonous. Maybe the half-fish cannot tolerate a lot of toxins, but But they can't stop eating.
Their main job seems to be to carry those stones, not for themselves, but for those strange atmospheric creatures.
Those atmospheric creatures are like slimes, I don't know if they have anything to do with the 'creator'.
The stones carried by Banyu should be the materials used to make those golden statues, and they also drew this on the painting, but there were no golden statues in the Beetle's memory.
Strangely, these slimes seem to have made them and have nothing to do with the 'creator'.
And when these half-fish finally piled up with stones, it seemed that there was some kind of dispute with the slime. The slime started to attack first, and then the half-fish rushed up.
As they began to fight, the beetle turned and fled into the dark, causing it to forget what happened next.
Later, Lin looked at the memories of many beetles, but they were basically hiding in the dark, and they couldn't see anything after the battle...
Maybe, the things here have nothing to do with the 'creator', but they stumbled upon the golden statues here and want to use the things here?
In other words, those slimes are the creator's "subordinates" or something.
However, Lin also found some other interesting things in the beetle's memory... (To be continued. . . )
