Chapter 265: The Underground Mechanism
"Is the darkness still going on?"
This is an underground cave, with fluorescent tree roots covering the entire space. Among these rays of light, three creatures are gathering here, they are called Monkey, Monkey, and the brave. =====
The brave man looked out at the entrance of the cave, and he found that it was still dark outside, and the sound of giant creatures still echoed.
It's already hungry, and it wants to find something to eat, but it thinks it's too dangerous, so... how about going to eat munchies?
Monkey seems to be something that can be eaten. Although it is said that the hero likes to eat cooked food, its body is basically fine even if it is eaten raw.
"Wuuuuji!" Munch seemed to have noticed that the brave were paying attention to them, and they huddled together in a hurry, looking quite... scared.
They have suffered too much fear, but the brave man did not intend to let them go, but approached them step by step.
"Ah ah ah ah! Scree!" A Monkey suddenly jumped in front of the brave man and shouted. It seemed to want to say something to the brave man, but the brave man couldn't understand it at all.
The brave thinks that if a mole can eat this kind of creature, it can also eat it, so the scholar is preparing to do it...
"Don't you dare to go out?"
A voice suddenly appeared behind the hero, startling it.
"What, so it's you." The brave man turned to look and found a red pom-pom floating behind it.
"Do you know what's going on here?" said the brave man, "It's always been dark outside, you floated in from outside?"
"I already know, it will be 'day' in a while." The red pom-pom said: "After three seconds."
"Three seconds...so soon..."
Just after the hero said these words, a strong light shone in from outside the cave. The two Monkeys screamed excitedly. Then he ran out of the cave.
The brave man and the red pom-pom also left the cave. The dark environment that was full of terrifying monsters outside now seems to have returned to its original state. The sphere like a small sun hangs on the cave again, and everything looks very normal.
Only the traces left by the trees and the ground in the surrounding jungle can prove that those terrifying creatures once appeared.
"What's going on here?" The brave looked at the environment and asked, "Why are those creatures gone before?"
"This is a special operation," said the red pom-pom. "Those creatures appeared in this place to clear some things here."
"What exactly are those creatures?" said the brave man, "I have photographed them, and their actions are very strange..."
"You can continue to find information suitable for demons. You can also try to solve the mystery here yourself. It will be more interesting, right?" Pom Pom said: "I still have some things to study." Said Finish. The pom-pom disappeared from the scholar's sight.
"It's gone again." The brave man said: "Forget it, since that's the case, then I'll go and take a look at it!"
After that, the brave man ran into the jungle...
"Although that is said, where should we go to solve the problem here?" The brave man became puzzled as he ran. It looked at the traces left by the surrounding creatures, and suddenly found that it didn't know where to go.
Forget it, let's find something to eat first, thinking about it, the brave man ran in another direction.
...the other side.
The pom poms fly high in the sky. Looking at the overall environment here, currently. Lynn has been to many places and confirmed the rules here.
There is indeed day and night here. During the day, it looks peaceful, but during the night, there will be a lot of strange creatures. These creatures are very aggressive, but they only move in the dark.
And those creatures are not ordinary creatures specifically, they all belong to the world itself.
All the creatures have different shapes, but their 'tails' are connected, and the pom-pom has now flown to a place with a large hole.
This cave is where those creatures drill out. A cave can accommodate about five creatures. No matter how far they drill out and climb, their tails will definitely be connected in this kind of cave.
And when it's daylight, they retreat into the burrow, and the burrow will soon be filled, and the burrowers are... moles.
Lin saw a group of moles appear in the jungle around the cave, and they used their mouths to arch dirt and stones into the cave, completely blocking the cave.
But it is obviously useless for them to do so, and when it is dark, this creature should appear again.
But the moles do try to avoid this creature, because some of their kind...is exterminated by this creature.
Among the ruins left by Mole, Lin saw some of their previous records, there was no text, it was purely a painting record, so it was easy to understand.
Now, the pom poms have flown back to the ruins, which are relatively intact, with a large building in the center, and there are previous paintings on the walls of the building.
The painting records the process of the mole leaving the sanctuary and then coming to live here.
As you can see from the painting...these moles were actually two species originally, one was the one on all fours, like the one it is now, and the other was standing, like the Atlan .
However, the standing type disappeared, and only the current type remains.
And this type is also in a state of near extinction...
The reason for their extinction is mainly because of the terrifying creatures that appeared in the 'dark night'.
As you can see on the painting, the moles recorded their predation...
Moles in standing form may be too slow. Although they can use tools better, they have little meaning for such a large creature.
The other kind of mole can escape very quickly, so they stay, and they hide in a specific place every night to avoid the attack of the creature.
However, it is difficult for such moles to increase in number, and their numbers are gradually decreasing... At the same time, it seems that there were many other species of creatures here, but now they have disappeared.
Monkey and Mole, and several other creatures, are the remaining creatures here...
Why is there such a weird environment here? Lin thought it was some kind of 'mechanism' where the monsters regularly swept away various creatures in the jungle until they disappeared completely.
In order to find out the reason for this kind of environment, Lin decided to follow the creatures into the cave to have a look, and she should be able to know what was going on. (To be continued..)
