Chapter 875 Chase

Including the spy, sixteen ground mirrors formed a circle, and they looked at the mollusc creature crawling out of the hook wheel together.

None of the ground mirrors made any movements, and they didn't 'say' anything, they just stared like this...

But Lin felt that they might launch an attack at any time. Before that, Lin carefully observed this mollusc creature.

It is as described, it looks like a group of moving metal liquid, the surface reflects the luster of metal, the whole is as soft as water, and it moves like an amoeba.

If this ball is rolled into a ball, it will be about three centimeters in diameter, but this is considered a relatively large type.

Like the creatures of tiny civilizations, the size of mollusk creatures is not too big, at least that's how it is described in the information read by Wang.

It also behaved very cautiously, the mollusc creature didn't move after getting out of the hook wheel, and it protruded a very slender, tentacle-like structure from its body, it seemed to be used to observe the surroundings Generally probing everywhere.

The tentacle initially probed back and forth on the soft-bodied creature, but it slowly grew longer and longer, extending beyond the range of the body.

"Kill it."

Suddenly, a ground mirror lighted up slightly.

'Whoosh! ’ The sharp objects shot out from all the ground mirrors around, and they immediately covered the body of this soft-bodied creature.

But the soft-bodied creature shook slightly, and the spikes on its body fell to the ground, and then the soft-bodied creature immediately changed its body shape, and it suddenly spread a pair of... wings from its body.

Its wings looked thin, but they seemed to have a skeleton. It flapped its wings quickly, dragged its soft body off the ground, and flew high in the air.

"Hit it! Kill it!"

While emitting bright light, the ground mirrors kept shooting at the soft-bodied creatures in the air, and sharp spikes flew out one by one.

The soft-bodied creature kept shaking its body in the air, causing most of the thorns to stick on its body, while successfully protecting its wings. It also flies farther and farther.

but……

'Whoosh! ’ A spike pierced through the protection of the body, directly punching a hole in the wing of the mollusc creature, and the flying mollusc creature tilted its body and fell from the air while spinning. It landed on the white grass in the distance.

"Go and harvest it!"

Seeing this, the ground mirrors immediately ran over there, and the fallen mollusc creature quickly crawled to the distance.

The mollusk crawled faster than the ground mirror, and it quickly crawled across the white grass and reached the opposite rock wall of the cave.

Then it climbed up the rock wall and climbed to the higher place. At this time, the ground mirrors chased into the white grass, as if they knew that their speed could not keep up, so the ground mirrors gave up chasing.

The movement method of the ground mirror is to use small 'legs' to move, which is somewhat similar to the snails, but the speed is much faster than that of the snails, and they can sometimes retract part of their feet and push themselves with a small amount of feet Slide on the ground.

This works well inside their city, which is slippery everywhere, but not so slippery outside, so they... have a hard time chasing soft-bodied creatures.

However, the ground mirrors were not very concerned about whether they could catch up or not, and they quickly sent the news back to the city.

………………

"They found it! They found it!"

within the city. The king of earth mirrors who had been waiting for the news was a little excited after receiving the news, because this is the first time it has received news about mollusk creatures.

"They must be nearby! They must be nearby, hurry up and follow up!"

"Follow up troops dispatched!" "Follow up troops start!"

When the king issued the light as an instruction, the soldiers around him also emitted light, one after another, as if they were sending messages, and the light emitted was transmitted from the hall to the entrance, and then passed on by the guards at the entrance. To the ground mirrors in the outer corridors, and the ground mirrors in the outer corridors also lit up one by one, sending instructions all the way to the outside of the building.

Finally, a large group of ground mirrors in the square outside the royal buildings. They also lit up one after another, and the light they emitted together was even more dazzling than the original lighting here.

But it only lasted a few seconds before disappearing, and then, a group of troops in the square started their operations. They quickly moved towards the entrance of the underground labyrinth.

This was decided before. If any exploration team discovers the mollusk, more troops will be dispatched to that location immediately to follow up the exploration team.

As for the exploration team...their tasks will not change.

………………

"Continue to dispatch."

The soft-bodied creature has crawled to an invisible place, and it is completely lost, but the ground mirrors have no objection. They marched directly on the white grass.

Lin's spies are also advancing with them, and at the same time, Lin detects these grass-like creatures around her.

These creatures are quite interesting. They are not white and do not emit light. The main reason is that there is a layer of fungus-like things attached to their bodies.

Mainly this layer of fungus is glowing.

The reason why they glow seems to be to capture the small creatures around them. There are many small flying creatures in the grass. The size of these creatures is less than one millimeter, very small, but the content is complicated. When walking through the grass, You can see many small flying objects.

And the creatures are interesting too...they don't have solitary individuals.

Each flying object is basically composed of a larger flying creature carrying many small "passenger creatures". When these flying creatures fly over a certain white grass, it will throw the "passengers" it carries down, and the fungus that grows on the surface of the grass will eat the dropped creature.

They may have some kind of strange relationship, but Lin didn't study too much. Lin's main purpose of observing the grass is to find...

There is.

Lin found a piece of soft material appeared in the grass not far away, which fell from the soft-bodied creature just now.

Before the ground mirror shot at it together, the soft-bodied creature blocked most of the attacks with its body, but its body was not indestructible, and a small piece of 'meat' was knocked off by the ground mirror and fell into the grass.

It seems that no creature is interested in this piece of 'meat', so it should not have a cellular structure. Generally, if a piece of multicellular creature meat falls on the ground connecting the world, it will disappear within a short time.

Lin's spy walked over, stretched out a tentacle from the head, picked up the piece of meat, and put it into the body for testing.

Although Lin made such strange movements within the perception range of the ground mirrors, she did not suffer any suspicion. Although the ground mirrors equipped with some special tools can also do this kind of movement, the exploration team here Ground mirrors are not equipped with that kind of thing.

The main thing is their character, they don't have any doubts about their companions, but if they do something really weird, they will still be suspected.

While thinking, Lin tested the flesh of this soft-bodied creature.

It turns out that its outer layer is an inedible poisonous part for cellular organisms, while the inner structure...

has a cellular part.

Moreover, it has similarities with Lin's recently created 'pseudolith', mainly a structure in which non-cellular and cellular structures are mixed together. This structure can operate in perfect harmony and has many new features.

Lin's pseudo-stone is mainly constructed based on the internal structures of several other organisms - bus-like organisms, as well as gel organisms.

So, the flesh of this soft-bodied creature is also very close... especially the gel creature.

This gave Lin an idea that there might be some connection between the soft-bodied creatures and the gel creatures here.

Yes... there's an ecological connection as well, with mollusks living on the collapsing star bus, and then gel beings living on the pumice after the collapse.

However, it is not yet fully confirmed.

Because their structures are not exactly the same, Lin found many differences, and there are still many commonalities, so it is so possible...

Mollusc organisms and gel organisms are ancestral relations.

What they have in common is that they don't use the usual nucleus information to store life data, but use other structures to store them. This kind of structure will not be attacked by ordinary cell viruses, and it is not easy to cause mutations due to various influences.

Lin has not seen a virus that can affect this kind of storage structure so far. Of course, this kind of creature itself is rare, and there are not many parts that have been discovered so far. If you catch a whole live one, you will be able to understand them better. .

Although it is possible to calculate what they are like in general from the pieces of meat found now, it is more interesting to study directly because it is a 'discovery' rather than a 'guess'.

But is the way forward right now...?

The ground mirrors have already walked out of the white grassland, and came under the rock wall that the mollusk creatures climbed up, but they didn't climb up the rock wall, but walked forward next to the rock wall.

"Why don't you track the targets?" Lynn asked, flashing a flash of light at them.

"Track the target, you will be counterattacked." "You will be attacked." "Walking around is safer."

Generally speaking, they seem to be afraid that they will be attacked if they pursue the target, so they walk around.

But walking around is obviously not safe, and it will deviate from the target. After Lin told them these thoughts, these ground mirrors rarely considered for tens of seconds instead of responding immediately, and then they made a decision.

"Then chase the target." "Crawl towards the target, quietly."

These ground mirrors are not stubborn, they quickly accepted the idea, and then began to climb the rock wall.

The mollusk had drilled into a small hole in the rock wall, and Lin thought that place might lead to their kingdom. (To be continued.)
