Chapter 2617: Dependence on Rotten Things

"It might...could...be dead?"

The wandering in the land without erosion lasted for about two fluffball days and nights.

Lin's pompoms and flowers have been moving at a speed of about fifty meters per second.

Along the way, Lin saw many... identical scenes.

No matter where you drift to, you'll see similar muddy ground everywhere. Occasionally, there will be some interesting landscapes, but they are rare.

And the point is...there was no rotting.

The flower said that if one stayed here for a day and a night, his body would begin to rot, and this rotting phenomenon would affect all living things it knew.

And there is no way to find out what method the erosion is using to cause them to rot.

Also, if there is fear and confusion when decay occurs, the Eclipse will tell the creature why it is dying here.

But now so much time has passed... and there is still no rotting, and the flowers have not received any signals from the Eclipse.

It thought that Eclipse might have died. This...corpse of Eclipse might have encountered some disaster during its long wandering in the void and died here.

Lin felt that this creature...was not so easy to kill.

But it did lose its 'activity' for some reason, so Lin decided to investigate why.

Of course, we also need to investigate...why it caused the model sand sea to stop.

Therefore, Lin has ordered many miniature soldiers to move into the mud.

When going deep into the mud, Lin found that there were many creatures moving around in it, all of which relied on the nutrients in the mud for survival.

After Lin told Huaduo about these discoveries, Huaduo was very...surprised.

Because no matter what kind of creature it is, it will rot if it stays here for too long, so no creature can survive here sustainably.

But since so many organisms have proliferated here, the eroded land must have died, so the ecology has become so rich.

However, after a careful investigation, Lin discovered that this ecosystem was actually...on the verge of collapse.

Although there are a lot of creatures here, they are all in a half-dead state.

And the reason they are in this state is precisely because... the decay here has stopped.

Lin studied many of the creatures here and found their body structures very interesting.

They can be said to be a group of creatures that are born and die in the evening. These creatures have an ability to grow rapidly.

They can grow from a pup to an adult within one fluffy day and night, and then produce many new offspring in their bodies.

Then it waits to rot. After its body rots, these new generations will grow rapidly and begin a new cycle.

Simply put, this group of creatures have adapted wonderfully to the rapidly decaying environment here and have the abilities to cope with it.

However, because they will not rot now, these creatures cannot continue their life cycle.

Because Lin discovered that they were all creatures with hard shells.

It is not known why they grow so strong, but if they don't rot... the young inside them won't be able to grow outside them.

And if they do not decay quickly, these creatures will continue to produce more offspring in their bodies, resulting in them being crushed to death by the large number of offspring produced in their bodies.

In the end, these cubs have no way to break through the shell and get outside, and will die inside.

Lin discovered many such...corpses of creatures that were crushed to death by their young inside their bodies.

But there are still many living creatures that have a certain degree of control and can stop the growth of the young in their bodies.

In this state, they can still survive for a while.

However, since these creatures have a lifespan, they will eventually die because they cannot reproduce.

The creatures that Lin saw now were in a state of chronic death.

The flower actually doesn't know very much about these creatures, so it doesn't know the details of these creatures. It originally thought that the strong decay effect here would make it impossible for any creature to survive here for long... but it didn't expect that they relied on decay to survive.

In any case, it seems to mean that this erosion area has indeed lost its "activity" and the decay effect has disappeared. If this continues, all the creatures that depend on it for survival will perish.

Despite this, the flower still wanted to confirm... whether it was dead or not.

So it and Lin came to a rather special place.

It is said that this place is where the strongest eclipse signals can be received. Huaduo believes that the eclipse signal organ may be located at this location.

After floating for a while, Lin's pompoms and flowers arrived at this place.

The scenery here is also a little special. It is a large...golden lake.

It is quite different from the previous rusty lake. The entire lake with a diameter of about 300 meters is sparkling with golden colors, which looks very gorgeous.

Flowers don't think so, as they are not species that use colors to identify the world.

However, it said that it could feel the strongest signal after coming here before.

The signal of the eclipse is not sent to living things 'automatically', but requires the living things to have doubts about this place.

The eclipse will send signals to these creatures and tell them why they are here and why they are... dying here.

The signal at this location is said to be the clearest, and can be felt with just a little bit of doubt.

The flower slowly floated to the center of the golden lake, and then it... emitted a strong feeling of doubt.

It was wondering why the place had become like this and why it wasn't rotting.

Apparently...

There was no response.

Lin also asked Rongqiu about some doubts, and he really didn't feel anything.

So, Lin let the ball of fluff scatter some miniature soldiers, and they floated into the golden lake for testing.

This golden liquid substance... doesn't seem to have anything special in itself.

However, when Lin floated to the bottom of the lake and tried to dig down, she suddenly discovered something special.

There are many small creatures of one to two millimeters moving around at the bottom of the lake.

These little creatures are different from the ones Lin had seen before... They seem very active, unlike the others that are half-dead.

But there is another main point that these creatures...

Looks very similar to Baotun.

To be precise, it is a miniature Exploder, which is similar in shape to a shark.

These creatures...are they related to Explosion?

'boom!!!'

When Lin thought of this, the entire lake suddenly shook.
