214 Journey to the Void

Ethereal, void, cold, dark...

Lin doesn't have this feeling at all now, although Lin's attention is now in the void.

To be precise, in the body of a creature in the void...

Every race on the Eastern Continent is working hard for their own affairs, but they have not had any major incidents, and it is not yet time to fight.

Standing Scorpion gathers dust devils in the desert. These dust devils seem to be scattered all over the desert. Besides them, there are some other...weird creatures.

The golden statues stayed in the sea of ​​clouds of the white dragon, they built fortifications on it, and taught the white dragon to make some new weapons.

The dean is still engaged in Monte III.

It seems that it is currently in a relatively 'peaceful' stage, so before the war starts, Lin's attention turns to a very distant void.

The 'Void Iceberg' left the meteorite group, and more than a dozen days and nights have passed. Although there is no difference between day and night in the void, after so long, Lin can no longer see this creature in the meteorite group.

Generally speaking, some new types of stargazers can see great distances, and they can also use some special light detection methods to identify those hidden objects in the starlight.

But stargazers quickly lost sight of this iceberg.

It didn't seem like it flew away, but more like it suddenly disappeared into the void.

However, Lin's 'Rock Cutter' troop didn't feel anything abnormal in its body. The creature flew very smoothly, but it would occasionally vibrate. As if shaking.

It is now impossible to return to the surface of the Void Iceberg from the same path. Have to move deeper. to make new discoveries.

Some of Lin's caterpillar-type troops have already set off, and they are all produced from the 'iceberg base'.

These caterpillars are called 'internal explorers', or 'inner probes' for short.

Introspectors use their barbed legs to grip the ground and have some jet movement ability, and they have explored multiple passages within the iceberg.

This is a very complicated tunnel system, with a large number of pipes extending around. In addition to the place where Lin's main base is located, there are many more spacious places.

These spacious spaces usually have potholes. Some moisture collects in the pit.

Some water is dissolved liquid, but some is just ordinary water, and Lin has not seen any strange alloy plates anymore. In addition, there are many succulent plants growing here, they absorb the nutrients in the water and live.

As for the purpose of existence of these areas, Lin is still very unclear. This place is a bit like a stomach, but obviously what the iceberg eats will not be sent here.

This seems to be an extra area. Is it because the body is too big, so there is room to grow these extra areas?

Lin thinks this kind of thing should be impossible.

at the same time. All the passages in this place are connected, and there are three open points in total. The others are all smaller pipes, although there are many passages, but after exploring, Lin found that none of these passages lead to new areas, and they are all repeated.

If you want to go deeper into the body of the Void Iceberg, you must make a hole in the solid wall like an ice surface here.

Therefore, Lin let all the caterpillars gather in one place.

This is the second open spot. These caterpillars gather in a pothole, and Lin intends to dig a hole here.

After some research, Lynn has discovered the properties of its 'ice layer', which is actually a crustacean, but stronger than any alloy or crustacean that Lynn has seen, except for the Trailblazer's outside.

The most important thing is that it has a strong healing ability. It is still unclear what is going on, but Lin already has a way to drill through it.

A caterpillar stretched out some tiny tentacles from its mouth, it secreted some fluid at the end, and it slowly touched the ground and began to spin.

This action has to be very careful...not good if it gets the iceberg's attention.

The fireflies and leeches that Lin had encountered before, Lin thought was an 'immune creature' on the iceberg, like the creator's sword fleas. They helped the void iceberg to clean up the debris on its body, and the fireflies could even help it mend its wounds. .

Lin's troops here are very small, and the speed of eating those fleshy plants is very slow, so there can be no losses here, and these things must be done slowly.

The caterpillar used the serrations at the ends of the tentacles to slowly disintegrate the 'ice layer' on the ground with the solution.

The 'ice layer' covering the body surface of the Void Iceberg can feel pain, and it was particularly obvious when Lin attacked it. Now it seems that the caterpillar is too small, like a parasite, so it has no response.

At present, Lin still doesn't know how it can be cracked at any time and then closed back seamlessly. Seeing that the 'ice layer' here is nothing special, the body surface may be different from the one here...

A caterpillar is slowly drilling down, and the surrounding caterpillars are paying attention to other places, paying attention to whether any creatures are approaching, but there should be no immune creatures here.

Although I saw a few small leeches last time, they were not aggressive in any way.

The whole body of the caterpillar had already burrowed into the ice layer, and after drilling a little further down, Lin reached the target area.

But Lin didn't know which part of the Void Iceberg's body that area belonged to, so it was good that it wasn't a dangerous area.

After the last layer was drilled, Lin's field of vision was suddenly covered by a brilliance...

A large number of red dots like sparks floated in the air, and they spread in front of the caterpillar. Lin noticed that these were small creatures, one centimeter long, oval and flat.

These creatures look like a kind of creature called 'planar worm' and some plankton, but they are floating in the void iceberg, because there is air here, they can swim here like water.

There are quite a few creatures in the Void Iceberg...

The caterpillar looked around and found that the wall of the cave was still like ice, and there were still a lot of spherical objects stuck on the wall.

The caterpillar came out of the hole and slowly floated to the vicinity of these spheres. Lin found that many of the spheres had been cracked, and the little spark-like creatures floated out from them.

These are supposed to be eggs, and each is larger than the body of the small creature.

Does this mean these creatures can grow big?

The caterpillars crawled slowly under the fluttering firelight, and these creatures ignored the caterpillars and continued to float there.

Lin noticed that it was a nest-like place, and there were a lot of eggs stuck all around...

This feeling is really strange. I haven't found the internal organs of the iceberg yet, but I have seen a lot of other creatures.

The caterpillars devoured some of the eggs here, and Lin found that each egg contained a large number of biological larvae, which may grow to a certain extent and glow and fly out.

As the caterpillar crawls through this short passage, a relatively open area appears ahead.

Here, it doesn't seem to be the internal organs of the iceberg. There are many red rocks growing on the ice wall here, and there are many red things growing between the rocks, which look like tentacles growing out of the ground, and there is an opening at the end. When the spark-like creatures fly nearby, the tentacles move instantly, grabbing them and swallowing them.

Appears to be predatory creatures.

The caterpillar crawled into this area, it changed its body color, and continued to move forward at a slow speed...

Even if the color was invisible, the tentacles around seemed to be able to see the caterpillar, and they all aimed their heads at the caterpillar as if they were watching it.

They looked very puzzled, and a few tentacles reached out and poked at the caterpillar's body.

They are judging what caterpillars are, which shows that they have a certain intelligence...

Suddenly, a tentacle stretched out and it bit on the caterpillar's back. Lin felt that the opening of the tentacle had a lot of serrations, and it was using these serrations to cut through the hard shell of the caterpillar's back...

After the first tentacle action, the surrounding tentacles also immediately surrounded them, and they bitten frantically on various parts of the caterpillar.

Caterpillars have a hard shell, but their bite restricts the caterpillar's movement and may be unbearable if they continue to be bitten.

Lin immediately produced a lot of small spherical particles in the caterpillar, which quickly hardened and wrapped a mass of cells inside.

The caterpillar's shell slowly cracked open, and after the tentacles tore the carapace, it began to frantically devour the flesh and blood inside the caterpillar.

Under the pain of the caterpillar, Lin felt that the caterpillar could no longer be kept. In fact, there were only fifteen caterpillars in total, and each one was very precious, but Lin could also take this opportunity to see what the insides of these creatures looked like.

Lin let the other two caterpillars drill into the cave full of eggs before. Lin has determined that there is no threat here. They can devour eggs here as nutrients and establish a second base.

Lin wants to slowly occupy the entire body of the Void Iceberg without being aware of it.

After the first caterpillar was torn apart, the tentacles quickly digested the flesh and blood they devoured, but they couldn't digest the pellets inside.

These balls have been entering a deep place, and Lin also found that the tentacle seems to be quite long, at least tens of meters. The small ball has been sent to a deep place, and then stopped.

In order to confirm where this position is, Lin let a small ball slowly open the surface, and at the same time extended a small eyeball to observe...

In Lin's field of vision, Lin saw many...floating objects.

All kinds of irregular shapes were floating around, and Lin even saw some familiar things... some gravel blocks in the meteorite area, and even some plant debris on them,

How could these things be here? Could it be that……

'Crack! ’ Just as Lin was thinking about it, the ice wall not far ahead suddenly rose up! (To be continued..)
