The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2198: The Icefield Beneath the Farm
"This place...is not normal."
The aircraft called Nautilus continued to move forward in the soft "light-eating farm".
Previously, Nuo said that the thickness of the Light Devouring Farm was only about two or three meters, but now...
We have drilled down almost three hundred meters.
There seemed to be no end, and there was an endless supply of soft matter all around. Occasionally, you could see some light flickering in the matter... and then it quickly went out.
Although Lin found these substances interesting, Nuo became more and more nervous.
Because the Nautilus cannot hold out here for long, its shell is being decomposed bit by bit. The damaged parts of the shell can be seen in the picture.
Now, the Nautilus' shell is covered with marks that look like corrosion, and these marks are getting deeper.
Therefore, No increased the speed of the Nautilus to its maximum.
There is no propulsion used for flying here, but the tentacles are constantly pushing forward, so the speed is not very fast.
As the outer shell rotted away bit by bit and was about to affect the internal cabin, the space in front... finally became wider.
The Nautilus emerged from 'underneath' the farm, which was more than five hundred meters thick.
After this journey inside, the shell of the Nautilus has been almost completely corroded, but this journey is not without reward, because...
"It's here?"
When Nuo adjusted the detection system to the maximum, he found a familiar scene below - the Antarctic continent.
"Why...are you here?"
The surface of Antarctica appeared three hundred meters below the thick farm, which surprised Nuo a little because its senses had told it before that Antarctica was not in this position.
"Something moved it." Nuo said, "but I don't know what it is... In any case, we must go down and take a look."
As it spoke, the Nautilus headed towards the surface of the continent.
"This is..." While driving, you can find many spherical objects with a diameter of more than ten centimeters around, and inside the spherical objects there is something like a 'tadpole' twisting.
"Interesting..." Nuo said, "These are solidified air... The creatures inside collected them and made them into a ball, and wrapped themselves in it."
"Why do they do that?"
"I don't know. I don't know much about them..."
Because the Nautilus's flying speed was set very slowly, Lin could carefully "observe" the surrounding situation.
The closer to the surface, the more of these spherical objects you can see, and Lin discovered that sometimes the spherical objects do not contain "tadpoles", but some... stones, ice, and insects.
Under this wonderful landscape, Lin and Nuo came to the surface of Antarctica. Nuo inserted the tentacles of the Nautilus into the ground, stopped it steadily, and then left the cabin with Lin and set foot on the Antarctic.
...actually it floated out.
"I have already started the nanomechanical repair." Nuo looked at the severely corroded shell of the Nautilus and said, "While it is repairing, let's just walk around here."
"There are a lot of... these creatures here."
Lin was paying attention to her surroundings. There were spherical objects of different sizes floating everywhere.
Lin let the ball of fluff float closer to them and examined it carefully. She found that it was indeed solidified air. The tadpole-like creatures inside made the air into a ball shape and then stayed inside it.
With normal vision, these balls appear transparent, but with solidified olfactory perception they are very obvious.
Lin also saw some "tadpoles" making spheres not far away.
It feels like a caterpillar weaving a cocoon. It keeps twisting in the air, using the tiny spines on its body to gather the surrounding air... together, and then slowly weaves it into a ball.
As she watched, Lin quickly floated over, and the ball of fluff stretched out its fur and wrapped around one of the tadpoles.
It didn't seem to have much attack ability, so Lin was able to study it carefully... and discovered that it could secrete a... ingredient from the small thorns on its body surface.
This can bind the air together so that it does not fall apart and thus form a sphere.
But when I say it's bonding, it's more like... the feeling of gravity, which draws the air together.
It seems to only work on solidified air; if it's not solidified they can't stick together.
This is a very interesting phenomenon. Lin thinks it should be studied...
But Lin also took a look at Nuo.
Nuo was now taking out a flashlight-like tool and shining it on the ground. He had no interest in these tadpole-like creatures.
"What are you doing?" Lin asked as she floated next to it.
"Investigating the traces of movement here." Nuo said, "The Antarctic continent must have been moved. I have to find out who moved it and how."
"It seems there is no way to find anything here..." Nuo's flashlight did not emit any light, but it seemed to have a detection function.
Nuo shook it toward the ground every few steps and then continued to move to the next place.
Lin also followed it and continued to move forward... After walking for a while, Lin found a relatively large creature appeared in front of her.
It was a creature called a polar bear, and it was also in a ball made of... solidified air, floating in the air.
