Chapter 2391 Lost in the Bamboo Forest

This blue bamboo forest... is quite big.

As the gas giant slowly drifted towards Phoenix's star, Lin was also on one of its satellites... continuing her exploration journey.

The ball of fluff dangled in a blue bamboo forest for a long time.

Here, there are bamboos everywhere, which are 30 centimeters thick and 10 meters high.

Their shapes are almost exactly the same as a kind of bamboo in Ershi, but they do not have branches and leaves.

It's just pure...bamboo pole.

They are also hollow in the center.

At present, Lin has only found... microorganisms here. Whether it is on the ground or on these "bamboo poles", there are many cellular microorganisms.

There is no oxygen in the air and the temperature is very low, but these microorganisms have adapted perfectly to the environment here.

Therefore, Lin can also use them to create... more pure cell soldiers for exploration.

Lin wanted to explore this world at a faster speed, and then explore the other two, because she didn't know when... the gas giant would reach Phoenix.

And no one knows when those phoenixes will take action. No matter what they do... Lin feels that there is a high possibility that it will harm the environment here.

That is...

As Lin was moving forward, she suddenly noticed a special scene in front of her.

There was a clearing in the forest not far ahead, where all the bamboos were leaning down, and among the fallen bamboos, stood a... creature.

This should be a living thing.

It also looks a lot like... a fruit from a plant called 'dragon fruit', which is about two meters tall.

In addition to the red fruit-like body, its entire body is covered with a large number of "leaves" that are more than one meter long.

That's why Lin thought it was like... dragon fruit.

However, the leaves growing around its body seem to be a weapon. They are quite sharp and seem to be used for cutting.

Because Lin now saw... this creature that looked like a dragon fruit slowly moved under a bamboo.

Then it used the 'leaves' on its body to instantly cut through the bamboo, and the bamboo was cut at this moment and fell to the ground.

It seems that all the bamboos on the ground were cut by it.

Then Lin watched it cut several bamboos in a row. Lin found that when some bamboos were cut, a large amount of dust-like substance would flow out of the hollows between the bamboos.

When dust appears, the 'dragon fruit' immediately uses its top... where there is a mouth-like structure, to desperately suck in all the dust, and then goes on to cut other bamboos.

It looks like it's eating.

After watching for a while, Lin asked the ball to send some... greeting signals to it.

It seemed to respond to the captain's signals. The moment it received the signal, the dragon fruit immediately turned around.

Although Lin felt that the front and back looked the same, it did have a front and a back.

The moment it turned around... it seemed to have discovered the ball of fluff with some sensory organ that Lin didn't know about, and then it rushed towards this direction.

While sprinting, it also danced the "leaves" on its body like blades.

All the bamboos in its path were cut down in an instant, and it chopped down the ball of fluff with unstoppable force.

"stop."

But it stopped in front of the ball of fluff.

Because Lin tried to send it a captain-like creature's...compulsion signal.

This made the dragon fruit dazed for a moment, but the next second it chopped down again.

But by this time the ball of fluff had already climbed up a bamboo to a high place.

And the dragon fruit... of course wanted to chop down the bamboo immediately, but it stopped before moving.

Because Lin sent a signal asking it 'why are you attacking'.

It seemed to be very confused by Lin's signal, so it stood there for about ten seconds... before it reacted.

"Aren't you on patrol?"

Lin discovered that it communicated through sound, making sounds by rubbing its "leaves" against each other.

And its language... Lin actually doesn't understand it, but Lin's fluff can detect its emotional activities through the structure of the captain-like creatures and understand what it wants to express.

It would be much simpler if they could communicate... So Lin continued to try to discuss more things with it.

In fact, it was not very willing to communicate with Lin, but after Lin tried to strengthen the command signal, it slowly obeyed... the command.

After communicating with this creature, Lin felt that it was quite similar to Lin's...cultivating creatures.

It said that the reason it was moving here was mainly to absorb the "essence" in the bamboo, to stabilize its body and strengthen itself.

It means that as long as you do this to the extreme, you can live as long as the sky, but if you don't practice to absorb the essence... then there is a possibility that you will be reduced to ashes.

The 'sky' it refers to is not the clouds floating in the sky, but the gas giant.

The emerald green storm surging on the giant star can be clearly seen here.

What Lin was more concerned about was the words 'reduced to ashes'.

Because this is not a metaphor, it will really turn into ashes.

In fact, they must constantly absorb the "essence" of bamboo, otherwise they will turn into ashes.

However, this bamboo forest is the territory of some other creature, and the dragon fruit came here secretly to cut bamboo.

So when it first encountered Lin's ball of fluff, it thought that the ball of fluff was some kind of creature sent on patrol, so it wanted to kill the ball of fluff immediately.

But it doesn't know much else.

Because this kind of dragon fruit can be regarded as a creature still in the "primitive tribe".

There is no way to get more information from it, we can only know that they all like... to improve themselves through various practices.

In the end, Lin tested it and found that this organism was not a cellular organism, but a type that Lin had never seen before.

But it is also within the control of captain-like creatures.

In that case, let’s go find out the other creatures mentioned by the dragon fruit.

The creatures it was talking about seemed to have a higher...civilization, but were also similar to cultivating creatures.

In other words, they all like to enhance individual strength rather than use tools.

However... when Lin was taking action, she found that the phoenixes were also taking action.

Phoenix, from the platform of the resident sphere, launched all the resident spheres towards the gas giant at once.

And it's not just a simple resident ball.

They also put a lot of strange things into the residential balls... Although Lin called all the fluff balls back to the residential area, there were still many miniature soldiers left on various platforms, so Lin could see their movements.

But I don’t know what these phoenixes are releasing…

Judging from the performance of these phoenixes, it seems that they are substances with great lethality.
