Chapter 2492 Snowy Border

This place... there are quite a lot of solidified creatures.

Not long ago, one of Lin's spy troops had drifted across the 'border' of the snowfield.

The snowfield is the activity range of the light-chasing creatures, and they cannot leave the border.

Because the torches they carry automatically go out when they reach the border, these species have been trapped in one area for a long time.

But this area is quite large... with a diameter of about 6,000 kilometers, so it can still accommodate many races and allow them to fight here.

After leaving the border, you can see that the environment here has changed a lot... The environment here is a bit like a dead forest, with many dead tree-shaped objects everywhere.

And among these dead trees, Lin can also see many...light-chasing creatures.

To be precise, they are frozen light-chasing creatures. Although none of them are on the snowfield, there are many of them here.

Like statues, these creatures are placed among the dead trees.

Lin tested some creatures and found that their bodies were indeed... broken.

The internal structure of these light-chasing organisms is very special. When they are solidified... the "threads" in their bodies will break.

Because the body of the light-chasing creature is actually composed of many tiny linear structures, these lines will break when solidifying.

Then unfreeze them and they'll fall apart...

These threads have an interesting property: when they solidify, they become instantly stretched tight, a bit like they shrink.

However, Lin can use the corpses of these light-chasing creatures to create some new types of soldiers.

Although Lin cannot directly control the solidified material now, she can use a variety of solidified materials to assemble a complex, mechanical structure, and then add a small "driver" inside.

This driver can be a cell, a small intelligent system, or a substance controlled by dream energy. In short, it is an object that Lin can directly operate with her consciousness, and then use it to command the entire solidified body.

Like the structure of a captain-like creature, Lin would build a small brain inside to receive signals.

Generally speaking, Lin would use cells as 'drivers'.

Therefore, Lin can use solidified substances to create many types of soldiers at will... However, using the corpses of living creatures is much more convenient than using ordinary materials, because the living creatures are already assembled.

When using these light-chasing creatures to create soldiers, Lin also paid attention to the integrity of the neural structure within these creatures.

Although the bodies of some light-chasing creatures are falling apart, their neural structures are still mostly intact. Lin can wake them up and test their memories.

Lin tested the memories of many light-chasing creatures, and their memories almost all remained at that moment.

That is, they were all at war, and then suddenly the torches went out.

They have no memory of why they were transported to the border... Although this is understandable, Lin still wants to find some clues.

And Lin did find the clue.

Among the many light-chasing creatures, Lin found the one that interested her the most...a creature called a lost ball.

Through this maze ball...Lin learned more things.

Miqiu...knew about this extinction event in advance.

When they started the war with the two-limbed creatures... they knew that if they killed the torches in large numbers, they would all go out.

But even so, there is nothing they can do to stop it.

Because all they can do is not kill the torches themselves.

However, the Mysterious Balls also had some corresponding means, that is, they had already developed a kind of... small anti-coagulation material.

This anticondensate, which they call a 'micro-sun', is actually a luminous object about one millimeter in size.

It seems to be made by extracting some of the internal organs from the torch...

This kind of micro-luminous object can provide an anti-coagulation field with a radius of about ten centimeters, which is almost useless, and there are only a few "micro-suns" they originally produced.

But this is enough.

The ball can barely be considered a solidified organism whose organs can survive independently.

It’s just that it doesn’t live as well as other solidified creatures.

The ball can remove part of its own neural structure, and this part can continue to live for a long time and will not be affected whether it solidifies or not.

But this part is incapable of thinking and can only store memories. It also has a certain perception of the surroundings and records things around it.

So in the end, the Mysterious Ball gathered some 'knowledgeable' individuals, cut off their neural structures and put them together, and added some 'micro-yang' to keep these neural structures in an unsolidified state.

These neural structures can thus continue to record what is happening around them even after all the torches have gone out.

Of course, these neural structures are not placed randomly somewhere, but are all placed inside a mysterious ball.

This is the mysterious ball that Lin has found now.

Just like the Ershimin, the internal organs of this creature are not densely packed, and there are many hollow places, so there is a place in its body where many nerve structures are placed.

Because these neural structures are stuffed into the 'micro-yang', they are not solidified and record what is happening around them.

Therefore, Lin could infer from this that... it was moved here by some creature.

After all the torches were extinguished and the light-chasing creatures were frozen, a strange creature appeared on the snowfield.

They transported all the frozen light-chasing creatures to the border area outside the snowfield or even further.

This took a long time, but during this time they were not attacked by torches.

I guess this creature has something to do with torches...but they are not torches, at least not from the outside.

"Bang!"

The moment Lin thought of this, she discovered a... big pit behind the spy.

Something that looked like a living creature appeared in the pit.

Its shape... is very similar to the surrounding scenery, that is, an object in the shape of a dead tree.

It was about two meters tall, and moved towards this side like a real dead tree.

This kind of creature is the one that carries away all the light-chasing creatures. Lin asked the spy to put the puzzle stone aside and then sent some signals to this creature.

Mainly asking who you are and so on.

The moment it received the signal, the creature seemed to be stunned for a moment, but its speed did not slow down.

It rushed directly to the spy and stabbed him with its sharp branches.

Lin's spy was instantly pierced by it.

But... the spy's tentacles also wrapped around the creature and released a large number of micro-troops to begin detecting it.

Lin discovered that this creature... might be related to the God of Xuji.
