Chapter 889 Advance

"Here...is there."

Lin's 'soil clod' is moving forward in the soil, and through the neural structure of the soft-bodied creature trapped in the soil clod, Lin can feel...

Not far ahead, there is an area where all mollusk creatures are connected. That area is called the 'main consciousness area' by Lin.

But where is that actually?

Lin is about to meet... If you figure out what's going on here before the war starts, it will be easier.

When Lin was thinking about these things, she had already reached the 'Zone of Consciousness'.

After digging through the pile of dirt ahead, Lin saw a gray... rock wall.

The consciousness area is just behind this rock wall, and there may be something like a brain in it, which is continuously sending... signals to most mollusks.

However, not all mollusk creatures, Lin thinks there should be only a part, no matter what, go in and have a look first.

This rock face is quite strong, because it can be regarded as a kind of bone...the bone of a star bus.

But there is nothing in the body of the star bus that can be regarded as a skeleton function. This kind of solid structure is generally used in some special areas, not to protect organs, but to stabilize the underground environment, and sometimes to... imprison creatures .

These structures are usually completely sealed, and it is difficult for even the smallest microorganisms to pass through, but Lin knows that this place is not as sealed.

Lin let the soil block dig more than 20 centimeters to the right, and an opening appeared on the solid bone wall.

The opening was just about the size of the soil clod, so Lin let the soil clod drill in, and after entering the hole, the passage inside was also about the same size as the soil clod, with a diameter of about 60 centimeters.

Lin here can already feel the...'consciousness' around her.

They are constantly transmitting information to the soft-bodied creatures inside the soil block, and these trapped soft-bodied creatures are also struggling more violently.

However, Lin finds it strange that there seems to be no mollusc creatures guarding this passage... Even so, Lin can also feel that there are quite a lot of mollusc creatures coming here in the mud outside.

In fact, when Lin's soil clod came here, a large number of surrounding soft-bodied creatures gathered here. It's just that Lin arrived here faster than them.

Lin thinks that they may have other more powerful arms,

Might be dispatched because Lynn arrives at this place, so check out the... secrets here before they arrive.

Walking between the passages, Lin has already detected the surrounding walls...

The walls here are made of a softer substance. It is completely different from the structure outside, and the amount of microorganisms is much less than outside.

Generally speaking, if there is no microorganisms in this place, but a hole suddenly rots, there will definitely be a large number of organisms pouring in here.

But there are very few microbes here, and they seem to have been expelled. Compared with the outside world, there are probably only less than 10%.

This also seems to be because of the 'consciousness' here.

On the walls of the passage, there are exposed nerve structures that look like tree roots. These nerve structures are not from stars, but more like... multicellular organisms.

It's like the brain structure of a normal creature, except that Lin found that the cells on the nerve structure are quite 'fierce', they will quickly swallow the surrounding microorganisms and grow slowly.

And these neural structures do not have the ability of thinking, they are used to send information, Lin can feel that they continue to send signals to mollusk creatures, if they are close. This feeling is clearer...

Just research this...

'Gululu...'

While Lin was testing, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the depths of the passage ahead, and that sound was approaching here at a fairly high speed...

Is that... a large mass of molluscs?

Each of these soft-bodied creatures is only a few centimeters in size, but they gathered together to form a sixty centimeter mass that just blocked the entire passage, and rushed towards Lin.

However, instead of hitting the clod directly, they stopped before it.

Lin looked at the group of mollusk creatures with some doubts, they were constantly wriggling. As if preparing to do something...

After about ten seconds, Lin suddenly felt that they were sending a lot of signals to this side.

These signals are similar to brain wave signals, but have no special meaning, but when they initiate the signal. Lin felt the neural structures on the walls around her begin to move.

They wriggled and broke free from the wall, and then stabbed towards the soil block like a spear. In an instant, the soil block was pierced by several spears composed of these neural structures.

It seems that this is very powerful. Previously, soft-bodied organisms have been unable to penetrate the shell of the soil block, but these nerve structures like tree roots can penetrate directly...they have a function of accelerating ejection inside.

Then. The group of mollusks in front also moved, and the gathered molluscs quickly dispersed, and one by one climbed up the pierced soil block, and burrowed in through the cracks in the soil block.

Do they want to go in and rescue their companions?

Lin ignored them, and the clod remained still, because Lin had already sensed... something from the neural structures that penetrated the clod.

These neural structures are all connected to each other, and they are also connected to a rather huge structure behind the wall, which should be called a 'neural network'.

They are like spider webs all over the surrounding area with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, but the most important thing is...they are all concentrated and connected to some kind of huge structure below.

That gigantic structure is where consciousness originates, so let's go and have a look.

A tiny needle protruded from the body of the soil clod, and this needle pierced into a nerve structure penetrating inside the soil clod.

At the moment of piercing in, the needle inserted a large number of micro-arms into the nerve structure, and these micro-arms were attacked by the cells inside the nerve structure the moment they entered.

Therefore, Lin let the miniature arms devour them, as her own nutrients, began to grow and move along the nerve structure.

They will reach the location of the huge thing below through this nerve structure, and Lin feels that this will not be very smooth.

But so far so good, Lynn's miniature units have been combined to transform themselves into the shape of a worm, which is suitable for continuous advancement and devouring in many places.

The cells in the nerve structure were constantly attacking and becoming Lin's nourishment, and soon Lin's troops moved a long distance.

The soft-bodied creatures that were attacking the clod didn't seem to notice that a certain nerve structure had been attacked. They dragged out the mollusk creatures that were caught inside the clod one by one, and at the same time tried to dissolve the body of the clod. every part of .

While they were doing these things, Lin's arms had advanced more than ten meters in the nerve structure, and as its size increased, its speed became faster and faster.

The huge thing underground is about 60 meters away, and it will soon reach the target.

While advancing, Lin could also feel a large amount of information 'echoing' in the neural structure, which indicated... They were very nervous about Lin's worm unit.

When the worm advanced to a position of more than 20 meters, many new types of troops had already been deployed in the neural structure, such as multicellular troops, but they would still be swallowed and decomposed by the worm.

And those soft-bodied creatures also sensed that Lin had invaded a neural structure, and they all looked very nervous, but...it seemed like they couldn't do anything.

Lin's worm continued to move forward, and now it has grown to about ten centimeters long. The cells swallowed by Lin in the nerve structure are almost directly used as part of the body growth, and there is no need for any 'digestion process', their structure itself is very Suit.

When Lin advanced to more than 30 meters, Lin suddenly found that the front... was disconnected.

It seems that this neural structure broke itself in order to prevent Lin from moving forward, which is similar to the survival method of creatures like octopuses breaking off their tentacles.

But this didn't make much sense to Lin. Lin let the worms drill directly from the nerve structure into the soil, and then continued to drill into the front section from the soil, continuing to move forward along the nerve structure.

After discovering that this method didn't work, Lin felt that the surrounding information surged even more violently, and it was constantly sending a large number of 'interference waves' to the worm.

Lin thinks that this kind of name can be chosen. It should be used to drive other creatures away and keep them away from here. Therefore, the microorganisms outside are extremely dense, but the number in the will area is very small, because they send these signals. Enough to cause damage to the internal activity system of those microorganisms.

Even so, there are still some microbes living here, so the cells on the neural structure are full of aggressiveness, and are used to deal with those stubborn targets.

But Lin, the worm, is already too stubborn. In fact, even if their cells are all made of metal, like micro-machines, it is... hard to stop Lin.

Now, Lin has almost reached the position at a depth of 60 meters. Along the way, they have begun to adopt... a last resort. The surrounding cells no longer attack, but start to dissolve themselves, in order to Lin's continued growth was restricted, and at the same time, a large number of... non-cellular arms began to attack Lin's worms.

These non-cellular species are molluscs, these species are smaller, and somewhat different from the outside, it seems to be only located in the end part.

But it's also difficult for them to stop the powerful worms that have grown up, of course...they won't care about this, but will only attack crazily.

And Lin didn't keep going. When the worm was surrounded by more and more soft-bodied creatures, it finally couldn't move forward and exploded with a 'snap'. (To be continued.)
