Chapter 1049 A Thinking Skeleton

These things...are empty.

This is beneath the ground of the Dream Weaver world. In the huge underground caves, there are many... core protector crystals.

In Lin's inspection, these crystals did not have any dream energy, they were all empty...

However, Lin could detect that they had been...

‘Bang! ’ The pom-pom was suddenly hit by a force, and it immediately flew out... and hit the rock wall behind.

At the same time, Lin also saw the... creature that hit the pom-pom? It looks more like a skeletal machine.

This skeleton machine is the smallest one Lin has ever seen. It is very similar to... the skeleton of a dwarf, the dwarfs on the dinosaur continent. It has four limbs and a large 'skull', and its skull has A big hole, the attack just now came from that hole.

It uses... some kind of weapon similar to 'air bombs', which doesn't feel very powerful.

The pom-pom flew up on the rock wall. The moment the pom-pom made this move, this... skeleton dwarf suddenly seemed to be frightened and immediately turned around and ran back.

It mainly ran on its four limbs. It ran into the exit of the crystal cave in an instant, and Pompom immediately chased after it.

Lin found that it was running deeper down the underground passage.

The pom-pom immediately chased after it, and the skeleton dwarf realized that the pom-pom was following it, and it ran much faster, but the pom-pom was getting closer to it little by little.

However, Lin felt some... movement around her.

‘Bang! ’ Just when Lin was thinking this, the mud around the tunnel wall suddenly exploded, and five skeleton dwarfs rushed over from different directions. They immediately pounced on the pom-pom and used sharp objects to attack the pom-pom.

These sharp objects stretched out from their 'hands', and they were not only sharp, but also quite...high-temperature.

The sharp object pierced the outer skin of the pom-pom and penetrated into the internal organs of the pom-pom. With the cooperation of the five skeleton dwarfs, the pom-pom with a diameter of more than one meter was torn into pieces in an instant.

These things... are quite powerful. Mainly in terms of strength, it is enough to tear apart this exploration pom-pom, and they... are not like the previous skeleton machines that only perform fixed activities, they have their own... thinking.

As they shred the pom poms. The pom-poms also released a lot of micro-units that stuck to their bodies, and now these units are moving with the skeleton.

The skeletal dwarfs seemed to... live in a relatively deep place. They kept moving downward. After walking for almost sixty meters, the skeletal dwarfs stopped.

Lin found out. After arriving at this position, the surrounding temperature became higher and higher, and it was still very cold above, only slightly better than the void.

But here, it has reached a level that can almost melt the ice.

It seems that there is a high-temperature object nearby, causing the temperature in the entire passage to be very high.

Now, several skeleton dwarfs stopped here, motionless as if they were resting... So Lin started to move first. Lin let the miniature soldiers slowly get into the dwarf's 'skull'.

It seems to have a complex mechanical structure... which is very different from ordinary skeleton machinery.

General skeleton machines have a 'dream energy receptor' to receive signals from dream energy, but skeleton dwarfs do not have such a thing.

Lin's micro-units don't need to search every corner of the skull to detect whether they have receptors.

But... the finer details require more research.

Although the skeletal gnomes had shown great aggression before, they did not respond to the movement of micro-arms inside their heads, so Lin studied them carefully here.

This dwarf...

There are indeed many differences from other skeleton machines, although they are made of the same material.

However, the internal control core is something very different.

It is completely different from other skeleton machines. Their control core is a completely different structure. It cannot receive dream energy, and it is controlled by... the brain.

The skeleton gnome's control core is mainly...a ball.

This ball contains an organ. That is...the brain, the brain of cold stone creatures, looks like a liquid, protected in a ball.

There are pipes or something like that connected around the ball. It should be used to provide nutrients to the brain, and the function of the brain itself is to issue instructions to the entire body.

It seems that this skeletal dwarf does have its own thinking... because it is commanded by a biological brain. Lin decided to further investigate its brain.

But if you get in casually, it may lead to the death of this skeletal dwarf.

Their brains cannot be exposed to the air, even if there is only a small hole, so. Lin decided to enter through their nutrient system.

At the same time, Lin also looked at other structures. There was a kind of... weapon installed in their heads. This weapon was the 'air bomb' used to attack Lin before. Their power was very... weak.

Lin thought there should be other uses.

At the same time, Lin also found their 'eating' part. There was a pipe connected to their brains and the 'mouth' outside their skulls. As long as they passed through this pipe, they could enter their brains.

Lin's action encountered some obstacles. When several of Lin's micro-units drilled into the pipe leading to the brain, they discovered...micro-machines.

These micro-machines directly attacked Lin's troops, but Lin's troops were all... worm-shaped troops, so they quickly grabbed the micro-machines and devoured them.

While studying these machines, Lin discovered that these machines were almost the same as those on the surface, except that their tasks... were different.

The task of these micro-machines is to protect the skeleton dwarf, attack any incoming microorganisms, break them down... and then throw them out.

Are these skeletal gnomes still connected to fear energy? They are actually able to use micro-machines as 'guards' to protect them here.

They do need some protection, otherwise this place will be easily mixed with a lot of debris...

These skeletal dwarfs are still resting in this place, and Lin gathered all the pom-poms that had been exploring underground before and went back to the cave where the crystals were found before.

Lin asked them to stand by there, while the micro-units here continued to detect the skeleton dwarf's brain, and they had already reached the inside of the brain.

This is... a very typical cold stone creature's brain, but its nutrients are maintained by the surrounding mechanical devices, and there are also some micro-machines in it.

In addition to the task of removing foreign objects, these micromachines also have the task of protecting the brain. These tasks are very... delicate. Lin feels that if there is even the slightest mistake in these tasks, they will disintegrate the entire brain.

And there are many memories in this brain...

Lin tested her memory and found that creatures like 'skeleton gnomes'... they were indeed different from real skeleton machines.

When they are first born, they are still... normal cold stone creatures. However, after growing for a period of time, their brains will be taken out and placed in the skeleton machine, turning them into the skeleton dwarf that Lin sees now. .

The underground tunnels here were dug by them.

Of course, they are the kind of creatures that Lin was looking for before, the kind of creatures that want to prevent disasters in this world. They seem to be the only larger creatures to survive the fear energy besides the eels.

There are many of them, and they all live in one place…

There is a "city" of theirs nearby, where most of the skeleton dwarfs live, and the ones Lin met were patrollers and the like.

They are trained after birth and often lead a life of patrolling outside the city.

The reason why they come out to patrol is mainly because some... creatures have appeared recently.

It seems that since the Fear Energy Extinction Event, no creatures other than them and the Toru Eel have appeared in this world for a long time.

Until recently.

Recently, some creatures have appeared near their city. These creatures are very... cunning and dangerous. They will attack skeleton dwarfs, sometimes sneak attacks on single individuals, and sometimes they will form large groups to attack the edges of the city.

In order to deal with such creatures, they will train a lot of troops to deal with these creatures.

Because these creatures were very similar to Lin's pom-poms, they attacked the pom-poms as soon as they met...

So, it seemed like they had a very simple reason, so Lin felt that it was about time to visit their city.

These patrols don't know much about the history of their own species, they just know a little about it. They spend most of their time training.

They train mainly to better control... their 'body'.

When their brains were initially transferred to skeleton machinery, they could only perform some basic movements, and required long-term training to perform difficult movements and use various equipped weapons.

Civilians among them usually don't do this kind of training, but soldiers do...

But what Lin was more concerned about was that they had said they wanted to prevent the world from catastrophizing before they started digging holes, but now they seemed to have stopped doing so and were now living here.

Or are they continuing to do so? Is it just that the progress is much slower than before? At least these soldiers had no idea what world disaster they were preventing.

The disaster they are talking about may be fear energy, or... the process of the world's constant 'evaporation'.

Lin thinks it should be the latter. (To be continued.)
