Chapter 834 Bugs in the Darkness
This is a world without light. In the completely dark environment, there are only storms composed of sand, dust and stone chips. It is accompanied by extreme cold, echoing above the earth.
"Tack..."
Under this environment, a group of creatures were moving on the barren rocky ground, they kept making small footsteps, almost fearless of the harsh environment around them.
They are three meters long and flat. They are a group of creatures called... void cockroaches, which are part of the Inca swarm.
This kind of name means that they adapt to the void environment. No matter how the surrounding pressure and gravity are, or how low the temperature is, they can adapt well. Although this dark world is not void, it is very close.
Under this extreme environment, ten void cockroaches are crawling forward rapidly, waving the tentacles on their heads to detect the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, they stopped, and they detected...something nearby.
Although everything was covered in pure darkness, the Void Cockroach could clearly feel that something was slowly approaching ten meters in front of them.
This thing looks like a very large and thin object. When it is unfolded, it has a length and width of more than ten meters, but its thickness is estimated to be only a few centimeters.
Its body fluttered with the wind, like a piece of skin.
However, the Void Cockroach thinks that it is definitely not ordinary skin that can float in this dark world. Its purpose is unknown, but this piece of skin has already ... eyed them.
'Huh...' The whirlwind containing sand and dust continued, and this piece of skin floating in the air floated in front of the Void Cockroach with the wind.
feel. The 'skin' is just blowing in the wind. But the Void Cockroach has noticed that Pi will constantly change his posture, using the wind to change the speed and direction of movement.
It... is flying around the void of the Void Cockroach, circling non-stop, as if it will pounce on it at any time.
The void cockroaches have remained motionless, and the piece of skin has been flying around without attacking. But he didn't leave either.
'despair. ’ A void cockroach took a step forward.
'call! ’Suddenly, a gust of wind blew violently, and the skin floating in the wind also rushed down, completely covering the void cockroach that was out of the group in an instant.
The covered void cockroach felt pain, a pain that pierced its whole body, and when it felt this pain, it immediately sent instructions to its companions around.
It's like a cell being eaten, informing the surrounding cells of that feeling.
All the void cockroaches rushed up at this moment, and they directly landed on the piece of skin. Using the blade-like mouth to bite the skin... skin.
This piece of skin is like real skin, no matter in terms of texture or softness, it is not very hard, although the cockroach has eaten it and it is not composed of cells.
But its softness made it unable to defend against the attack of the void cockroach, so the piece of skin struggled.
It kept flapping and shaking its body, trying to fly off the ground. Continue to ride the wind. But the Void Cockroach realized what the skin was thinking, and they flew away quickly. Several Void Cockroaches crawled to the edge of the skin, grasped the ground tightly with their legs, and bit the skin hard at the same time, preventing it from flying away. The remaining Void cockroaches kept attacking on the skin.
They're looking for the weak point of the skin, so they've tried every part, just trying to kill the skin.
Unexpectedly, they really succeeded.
I don't know where a void cockroach has bitten. The piece of skin suddenly fell to the ground without struggling anymore.
So, the Void Cockroaches carried the piece of skin and the body of the companion who was killed at first in one direction.
………………
Here, it is still the same world, still cold, and the sound of the wind can still be heard.
But it was no longer dark, because this was a certain underground cave, and a firefly more than five meters long was lying on the top of the cave, and its glowing belly illuminated the entire cave environment.
In the center of the cave, there is a huge silver creature, the Earth Breaker, lying on its stomach.
It shattered the earth and found the cave, because the outside environment was too dangerous, so they decided to build a temporary base here, so that the swarm troops could rest here.
There are some other swarm troops here, all of various kinds, and all looking at one place.
At the entrance of the cave, the Void cockroaches who went to explore came back. They were dragging a large thing that looked like the skin of some large creature, and it was covered with many fine hairs.
The Inca swarm was somewhat puzzled by the skin's lack of cellularity, but it attacked them.
There are not many troops here, and its intelligence is also limited, so it didn't think too much, so it decided to lock up this piece of skin first, and then continue to watch the skin's reaction.
But where to close it?
"Got you."
Just when the Inca swarm was hesitating, it suddenly received a signal from the entrance of the cave, and saw an aircraft made up of metal parts and three pompoms flying in from there.
"What are you doing here?"
After finally finding the Inca swarm, Lin questioned them, although she basically guessed the result.
The Inca swarm expressed a little surprise at this, so it replied to Lin's question, saying that they mainly wanted to establish a new base here.
While the cave was empty of anything, the Inca Swarm thought it could add a lot so that it would have a base from which to send troops to explore and come back to heal and rest.
Lin looked down at the ground and saw the skin-like creature.
This kind of creature is the first kind of creature Lin has encountered here. They fly with the wind. Although they are non-cellular, they seem to be very hostile to any kind of creature and will look for opportunities to attack them.
Lin and the Remembrancer's aircraft had been attacked by them before, and during the process of being attacked by them, Lin also learned some of Pi's habits.
They have a very close connection with their companions. Lin can know the location of other skins through one skin, and can also know the status, and even know if there is death.
Lin thought that the Inca swarm had also been attacked by skins, so she came here, and the location shown by these skins is not just here.
Lin can also use it to discover other places. Some places Lin finds very suspicious. There may be more creatures to be seen there. There should be more creatures in this dark world.
'Crack'.
When Lin was thinking this way, she suddenly heard some voices.
The skin on the ground that was bitten by the void cockroaches of the Inca swarm suddenly... disappeared. (To be continued.)
