Chapter 976 Underground Environment

Dark, cold, with all kinds of floating debris.

This place is like the environment on the surface, except that the wreckage here... is not stable.

They are shaking, just like bubbles in water. They have no fixed position, they are always moving, and then... colliding.

What appeared before Lin's eyes was such an environment. Now, Lin's mechanical spider team has arrived inside the gravity ball, which is indeed quite similar to the surface, whether it is the objects floating in the air or the material components on the ground.

Lin felt as if this place was still on the surface, not an underground environment.

Of course, there are still some differences here. In addition to the floating and colliding wreckage in the air, there are also many strange things growing on the ground.

These things looked like...mushrooms. They were one to two meters high and were densely packed around like a forest. Lin did some testing on the nearest 'mushroom' and found that its composition was similar to The composition of the ground is almost identical.

In other words, they should not be living things, but someone who deliberately used the 'soil' on the ground to pile up these mushroom-shaped things here.

However, this is not the point. The point is that Lin wants to investigate where the organs of the Stellar Bus are.

The small piece of organ in the cave was dragged back by the light chasers, yes... dragged back, not floated back, because those light chasers only move on the ground and they don't float much, so When they bring something back, they will drag it along the ground.

therefore. Lin could detect the traces they left behind.

The Lightseeker Cave has an exit to the surface and an exit underground. The exit of the tunnel dug by Lin's mechanical spider happened to be near the underground exit of the Light Chaser. It was a circular hole with a diameter of more than two meters.

Lin asked the mechanical spider to detect some residues near the entrance of the cave... These residues are evidence that the organs of the Stellar Bus passed here.

Because they were dragged all the way back, the organs would wear out and leave traces on the ground... Lin only had to follow these traces to find the place where they dragged the organs back.

Thinking about it, Lin asked the mechanical spider team to take action while they were detecting the traces on the ground. While moving quickly in this 'mushroom jungle'.

Lin noticed that among the ‘mushrooms’,

There are some... huge things, but they don't seem to be interested in the mechanical spiders.

It seems that the disguise of the mechanical spider is also very useful in this place.

Although she didn't encounter any danger, the search process was not easy. After walking more than a hundred meters, Lin had to stop.

Because the clues on the ground were interrupted, the traces that had been continuing suddenly disappeared... and disappeared in front of a wonderful place.

In front of the mechanical spider, a vast... lake appeared.

certainly. It's not a real lake, but there is an area of ​​several hundred meters in diameter in front of the mechanical spider, which is covered by a soft material like water.

However, when the mechanical spider pokes it with its forelimbs, it will not pierce the soft material. Instead, it will poke a small pit like stepping on elastic jelly.

When lifting the forelimbs. The pit will bounce back again. Make this piece of soft material intact.

It is estimated that the light chaser dragged the organ across this soft material, but this soft material may be 'renewed', so it will not leave any traces.

Lin felt that the material was made of some kind of organism, and that it might regularly sweep the surface of the material to keep it clean.

But even if there are no traces, it should be no problem, because along the way, Lin discovered that the light chasers walked in a straight line, so as long as they walked straight from here to the opposite side of this 'soft lake', they would be able to find traces of organs again.

Thinking about it, Lin asked a mechanical spider to start running on the soft lake, while the others stood by the lake and watched.

The first mechanical spider ran for a while. After finding that there was no problem, the rest continued to follow.

This place was quite a large area, and mainly because of the loss of contact with the ground, Lin felt that the spider's camouflage might be ineffective.

Take advantage of the fact that there are no dangerous creatures nearby and run over quickly.

While running through the soft lake, Lin also noticed that... there were a lot of things moving around in the lake.

They look a bit like fish, and they also seem to be swimming in the water, swinging their bodies forward. They are all different types. Lin thinks... maybe this soft lake belongs to this group of species. environment of.

As Lin watched the environment below, the 'opposite shore' in the distance became closer and closer. Lin also discovered that there were no longer the mushrooms on the opposite side of the ground, but a vast... piled with debris. area.

The mechanical spiders stepped ashore from the Lake of Softness, and Lin was ready to continue to detect traces of the officer here...

‘Bang——’

Suddenly, something happened behind the spider team. The soft surface of the lake suddenly exploded, and a huge fish-shaped object rushed out, biting a spider instantly and dragging it back.

This attack process took less than a second, and a mechanical spider was dragged into the soft lake.

It seems that the creatures here not only look like fish, but also attack like fish. Lin thought as she let the remaining nine mechanical spiders continue to move forward. They had just detected traces of organs, and Lin felt that the target was very far away. Not far away.

And the mechanical spider that was dragged into the soft lake is about to start a new round of exploration.

Because it was not dead, the fish-like thing that dragged it in, although huge, did not bite the mechanical spider to pieces. Instead, it spit out the spider in the soft lake and swam away on its own.

So Lin just wanted to let the mechanical spider test the environment here, because in the lake, Lin also found some familiar things...

No, it should be said to be a feeling. This feeling seems to be...

Thinking about it, Lin asked the mechanical spider to swim to the bottom of the lake.

Surging here feels like moving through jelly, a bit difficult, but also... fun.

The bottom of the lake here is very deep, and the mechanical spider has been swimming for a long time without seeing the bottom. Just when Lin was wondering if the bottom of the lake would go straight to the surface, she suddenly discovered something.

This thing is completely white, it seems to be solidified in the jelly-like substance of the soft lake, and this thing is... the organ of the Stellar Bus.

It was about the same size as the one dragged back by Light Chaser, and Lin noticed that it was slowly...

become smaller. (To be continued ~^~)
