Chapter 216 Multi-Stop Journey

Cold Stone.

This is the first time Lin has seen this kind of creature, and it does not belong to any biological system that Lin has seen so far. This kind of creature lives on a tumbler that Lin calls Iceberg Type 1.

The name of this place is because Lin felt that the Void Iceberg might reach a similar place in the future.

And this creature called 'cold stone', the substance in its body is different from ordinary creatures.

At present, Lin has not yet figured out what material it is made of. What can be determined at present is that its internal structure is very similar to that of ordinary creatures. The outside is wrapped in a solid rock-like shell, and there is a lot of liquid inside.

However, this liquid can maintain its state at a temperature far lower than the freezing temperature of water, and there are quite a few tiny structures in the liquid, perhaps some structures like cells.

Sure enough, just as Lin thought, there are creatures that are completely different from ordinary creatures in the void.

Froststones are distributed in large numbers in Iceberg 1 underground caverns, they move relatively slowly and feed on debris from the rocks here.

Lin has not yet observed how they decompose food, and it is difficult to observe them in their low temperature bodies.

Most importantly...they can't be eaten.

Lin's balls can't get nutrients from these creatures, and the balls on this tumbler can't multiply...

In this case, it will be difficult for Lin to continue to observe them. It is quite cold here, and there is no light yet, but Lin's balls will survive here, and they need to change into some more 'primitive' forms.

The spheroids slowly transform cells in the body, forming them into a very fine-grained form.

This change will alter most structures in the body. and remove some cellular components. Turn them into a more primitive type of fungus.

Lin is usually unable to obtain nutrients in the void. The troops will be 'sealed', but there is no need for this now, Lin has been able to construct some new types of fungi.

This kind of fungus can live in an extremely low temperature environment, and can also decompose the debris of rocks to grow, but it is impossible to construct structures such as eyes, and it is impossible to observe the surroundings, because the shape is very simple, but very endurance……

It may be possible to observe if there are those tiny crystal eyes.

But apparently not here.

But their numbers will slowly increase here, as long as there is rock and ice.

Lin turned almost all the small balls into this primitive fungus, and only one was 'sealed', waiting for the opportunity to come.

Although there is no way to continue to observe these creatures, Lin feels that it is not a pity.

Because...maybe the Void Iceberg will go to more of these places.

After fixing the units on this tumbler, Lin continued to pay attention to the internal activities of the Void Iceberg.

Lin feels that the Void Iceberg may also be a brand-new creature that Lin has never seen before. Although all the multicellular organisms seen in its body are currently, the Void Iceberg itself is very strange just by looking at its behavior... …

The caterpillars inside the iceberg have made a second base, and they are multiplying in the tunnel full of eggs. Lin has created many small units to collect eggs around, and the 'sparks' floating around seem to have no opinion on this matter...

Lin felt that some larger creature should have laid the eggs. Because she didn't know when they would come back, after Lin collected the nutrients of these eggs, she quickly started to create more troops.

This time, Lin started to make some combat units.

This is a spider-shaped unit with a body length of two meters. Each foot has a pair of sharp blades, which can be used to cut targets. At the same time, the feet can rotate at will, and can attack many opponents.

Lin called it the 'Scythe Dancer', and it was mainly used to cut tentacles.

After the first "Scythe Dancer" was built, it quickly walked out of the egg-filled cave and came to the place where the caterpillars were eaten before...

There are many red stones on the ground in this place, and there are many tentacles between the stones.

These tentacles are basically more than two meters long, of course, the exposed part. The part buried in the ground should be dozens of meters, but they will not stick out that long here.

The sickle dancer slowly approached these tentacles, and the tentacles also turned their heads and 'looked' this way as if they had noticed the sickle dancer.

But it's totally dark here, and they're definitely not using something like vision.

The sickle dancer approached the nearest tentacle. This tentacle did not hesitate as before when it encountered the caterpillar. It opened its mouth and tried to bite in an instant.

But the moment it bit, the Scythe Dancer's forelimbs slid across its center.

The tentacle was instantly broken into two pieces, and the broken part was still twisting.

The severed tentacles retracted into the ground in an instant, and other tentacles in the surrounding rushed towards this side at the same time!

But the moment the scythe dancer started to move the limbs, all the tentacles were cut off in an instant...

Then, the scythe dancer rushed over, waving the blade around its body, cutting off all the tentacles in this area, and the remaining tentacles seemed to be aware of the danger, and they all quickly shrank in.

However, Lin had already cut off dozens of tentacles.

Lin just wanted to see if attacking these tentacles would cause the Void Iceberg to react. Lin didn't know if these tentacles were the internal organs of the Void Iceberg. What she knew now was that the tentacles were directly connected to the iceberg's waste disposal point.

So the tentacles are more likely to be internal organs...

Although Lin thought so, nothing special happened after the scythe dancer cut off these tentacles.

Lin felt that there might be some immune creatures attacking Lin, but in fact there was nothing. The sickle dancer collected some tentacles and decomposed them.

These tentacles are very common. They use their teeth to tear the target and devour it. It seems nothing special, and their digestive tract should be buried under the ground. These tentacles are a complex system in the body. Even if the tentacles here do not prey, don't The tentacles in the place also pass on nutrients to them.

Lin felt that there were such tentacles everywhere in the body of the iceberg in the void. They should have a symbiotic relationship with the iceberg and used it to prey on some of the creatures inside.

Lin gave these tentacles as nutrients to the base. After the sickle dancer left, some tentacles that were hidden before stretched out again, as if nothing had happened to them.

After a few days and nights, the tentacles that were cut off before grew new 'heads', and this time they seemed to know the danger of the scythe dancer, and they would hide whenever the scythe dancer approached. go in.

It seems that these tentacles are just some parasites? But why are they connected to where the Void Iceberg Ruins are placed?

Anyway, after that, Lin took them as a 'shortcut' to get out.

By feeding these tentacles with indigestible pellets, they will send these pellets to the Void Iceberg's waste dump, which will be expelled by the Void Iceberg every once in a while.

Lin found that the Void Iceberg seemed to be eating often, because there was often a lot of waste in the place where the waste was piled up, but it was not excrement, just some gravel, and it had almost no nutrients.

Lin slowly expanded the base in the Void Iceberg, and the base grew attached tubes on the cave wall to transmit nutrients. When the eggs near the base were not enough to eat, she changed to eat tentacles, because they would grow again. grow out.

At the same time, Lin made more and more troops, and the pipes of the base slowly covered the cave where the tentacles were located. The base stretched out tentacles from the pipes, and tied the tentacles of the tentacle caves, directly extracting nutrients from their bodies .

Even so, Lin didn't realize that she was attacked, at most, the immune system in the tentacles was fighting against it.

It seems that these tentacles are no problem to eat. At this time, Lin crossed the tentacle cave and began to explore deeper places.

At the same time, the small balls placed in the waste storage area saw the rise of the ice wall again, and these small balls and a large amount of waste were sucked out by the strong airflow.

In Lin's field of vision, a tumbler appeared again...

Sure enough, the Void Iceberg has the ability to quickly find the next tumbler, and this tumbler is named 'Iceberg Type 2'.

Although these tumblers are not very large, the diameter of the Type 1 is about 100 kilometers, and the Type 2 is only half the size, and it is also a rock-covered terrain.

Just like before, the flying ball landed on the tumbler and began to explore.

But this time, Lin did not encounter any cold stones or other creatures, there was nothing here.

And the iceberg only made a short stay, and did not leave a few tentacles like last time.

More than ten days and nights passed after this...

The Void Iceberg reaches the next tumbler, what Lynn calls 'Iceberg Type 3'.

This place seems to be covered by ice, but it is also dozens of kilometers, which is not a big place. Void Iceberg ate some ice cubes with tentacles here, and then left.

Just like that, every time the pellet was sucked out of the waste discharge, Lynn could see a new tumbler.

It seems to keep finding these new tumblers, although they are not very large, they are basically about ten kilometers to a hundred kilometers in size, and almost all of them are rock surfaces.

In some places it will make more stops, and in others it will leave without stopping. Except for Type 1, no creatures have been found on other tumblers.

But this one is really interesting, finding more tumblers in such a short period of time than Lynn has seen in hundreds of years.

Not to mention finding...

So, Lin needs to know how exactly it found these places. (To be continued..)

ps: Thanks for the reward of the ~tiny imprint~

Thank you ~Dragon Ghost~ for the monthly pass~
