Chapter 514 Death and Reproduction

"We will pray for it..."
"May its soul be redeemed..."
This is... rugby town.
It has been more than ten days and nights since the rugby was attacked by the mist-shaped creature in the dream, and the wall shaped by the rugby is now almost completely damaged.
Because it seems that many creatures like to eat that clay, and the rugby has no plans to repair the wall, they seem to know that there is no danger recently, so they let the wall slowly break down, and do other things in the town.
One of Lin's rock spiders is here observing some kind of ritual in the town, which seems to be related to the ooze in the volcano, because it can be said to be the 'burial' of rugby.
There have been some dead rugby balls in the town recently. They seem to have reached the end of their lifespan. Lin thinks that it is not easy for these creatures to live to the end of their lifespan in this dangerous world.
And rugby also has some more complex - excellent - excellent - small - said - updated - newest - fastest - .. - consciousness for the same kind of death.
They were in a special town square, here we could call it the 'Graveyard Square', where they gathered the dead rugby balls and prayed in a circle around them.
Lin recalled that the individual creatures in other worlds have similar rituals. They like to keep the corpse, or use some method to make the corpse disappear, such as fire or something. Few are willing to let the corpse be decomposed by natural creatures.
Voidlings have recently become popular with 'Void Funerals', which launch the dead bodies into the void, but this is only part of it, and most of them are still burned.
For rugby, it is relatively simple, just pile up and pray.
But from a dream perspective. It doesn't seem so simple...in the hazy dream world. There are many shadows where the corpses can be seen.
They are also piled up like corpses.
But these shadows... are still alive.
Although real rugby is dead. But it seems that the dream creatures are not dying so quickly, they are still slowly wriggling, as if... wanting to escape.
"Let them receive blessings!" The real rugby is still praying, but they communicate through dreams, and the messages they send need to be received in the dream world.
That is, if it is a creature that does not live in symbiosis with the dream creature, there is no way to 'hear' the information of rugby, only some meaningless sounds.
As the rugby prayer went on, Lynn noticed that the shadows moved faster and faster.
It has been about a day and a night since these corpses died. And these shadows have always stayed on the corpse, and it seems that they are not leaving until now.
Suddenly, Lin saw a shadow flying up. It broke away from the pile of corpses and flew high into the air. At the moment when it flew up, the shadows on other corpses also flew up at the same time.
These shadows gathered together and flew in one direction together.
The direction they fly is... the direction of the plains, are they really what the rugby says. Will you go to the volcano?
Lin let the rock spiders keep up with them, and these shadows flew very fast. And Lin found that they were indeed flying in the direction of the volcano, but after flying for a while, they began to turn and circled over the jungle outside the town without flying in any direction.
At the same time, Lin also found that their bodies began to become smaller and smaller as they circled, and a large number of black dots scattered from their bodies and spilled into the jungle.
I see……
It seems that this is also the reproduction process of shadows.
Finally, these swirling shadows slowly got smaller and smaller, and as the black spots scattered, they disappeared completely.
However, the black spots they spilled were all over the jungle. Lin found that they could float and move everywhere. It seems that not all dream creatures need the mud in the volcano to reproduce.
Lin speculates that these black spots will find a way to find the rugby cubs to symbiotically, and before the symbiosis, they probably won't have any special "intelligence", they will just sway around.
This one feels interesting... From the way we've seen reproduction so far, the rugby needs the death of the shadow to reproduce, but... the shadow needs the death of the rugby to reproduce.
Are these creatures really symbiotic species?
It is true that they are all trying to keep each other alive, but it is too strange that they need the death of each other to multiply their own numbers.
Lin observed them for several days and nights. Many of those black spots were preyed on by fog-shaped creatures in the jungle, but because of the large number, many survived and hid in hidden places.
Lynn didn't keep track of them, estimating that many of them would live until the next batch of rugby pups.
And in the town that was slaughtered before, those rugby cubs did not leave there. After the scavengers ate the corpse, they continued to live there. They lived in those buildings. And collect food etc. nearby.
It appears that they intend to inherit the town rather than leave...
Now that they basically figure out how they live, Lin plans to talk to these creatures and ask about the core protectors, and some other things.
At the same time, Lin is also studying the mud mass of the volcano.
The creatures living near the volcano all want to breed in the mud in the volcanic lake. Lin originally thought that was necessary, but it didn't seem to be the case, but this mud-like thing is still very important.
During preliminary research, Lynn discovered that there was a special kind of energy hidden in it.
Lin can feel the dream energy now, so she can tell the difference. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to the brain spirit for invading the pom-pom.
And this kind of energy seems to be a necessary substance for synthesizing dream creatures. Lin feels that there should be a way to extract some of it. Now Lin has made a rock spider eat a lot of mud and stored this kind of thing.
The mud here doesn't seem to be a living thing, I don't know what it is, but eating it doesn't seem to have any special effect, but if you take too much, it may affect the reproduction of the creatures here.
So, where should we go next? There seems to be no clue.
Although there are a lot of things to study now, Lin mainly wants to find a core protector...
In that case, use this thing.
In the void above this tumbling man, the Star Wanderer who had been floating there opened a device in his body.
This device is a 'Void Signal Receiver', which can receive a large amount of information at random. If you use it here, you may perceive some special information... (To be continued...) R1292
