Chapter 2921 Painful Creatures
“It’s totally unusable…!”
"We have been discovered! We don't know how we were discovered, but we shouldn't stay here any longer."
"Maybe……"
...These creatures are discussing something.
On this 'land of pain', Lin observed this group of creatures.
These creatures are a group of metal creatures. Although they look very similar to the crawling Ershi people, they have nothing to do with the Ershi people.
The language they spoke... Lin didn't understand, but Lin found that she could sense their thoughts from the energy of pain.
Each of these creatures has a tiny crystal of pain placed next to their brain.
The crystal is less than half a millimeter in size, but it is tightly attached to their brains.
This allows them to feel pain continuously. Although it is not clear why they do this, Lin can sense some of their current thoughts through this small piece of crystal.
Because Lin already has micro-troops that have drilled into their bodies, detected their internal environment, and come into contact with the crystals near their brains.
Lin found that their bodies were very interesting. They were basically made up of a large number of tiny pipes, and there were also "energy furnaces" inside their bodies, which were the main source of energy for their bodies.
Most of the pipes are hollow and soft, so Lin's micro-troops can move easily in them.
What's special is... they don't have the usual immune system, or rather a micro-army to defend against microbial invasion.
They basically... use pain energy as an immune system.
Lin noticed that the "energy furnaces" in their bodies mainly obtained energy through liquid pain crystals.
Next to the energy furnace there is something that can be considered a 'decomposition organ', which can... liquefy the crystals of pain.
Then "separate" the painful energy from the crystallization itself.
The liquefied crystals will be injected into the energy furnace for power, and the painful energy will be transmitted to their 'skin'.
Any creature that tries to burrow into them will feel the painful energy on their skin.
And what’s special about this is that this energy can also have an effect on creatures without emotions…it can directly interfere with various systems within the organism.
They seem to rely mainly on this for defense, and it is indeed quite effective... If it weren't for Lin... they can use the painful energy attached to their 'skin' to prevent many types of microorganisms from invading the body.
But the pain that the skin's surface protects against does not reach the brain.
Their brains would only be exposed to the pain brought by a tiny crystal of pain, and Lin was very curious why they did this.
But regardless, this creature is very good at taking advantage of pain.
But now... they can't seem to make good use of the pain.
This is what they have been discussing just now.
Lin used the micro-troops to sense their current thoughts.
What they are doing now is the same as what Lin saw, digging out the crystals of pain.
To be precise, they were digging before.
They dug out large amounts of pain crystals and transported them to somewhere.
Then they discovered... there were some problems with these crystals of pain.
The main thing is that there are some strange things about the pain energy inside, that is, the pain energy will be filled with liquefied crystals.
Although the painful energy will continue to replenish, it only applies to normal crystals.
As long as they liquefy the crystals and separate the painful energy, the liquefied crystals will be "pure"... In this state, the painful energy will no longer be replenished.
But recently...even if they liquefy the crystals, the liquefied crystals will automatically replenish the pain energy.
This kind of question makes them weird.
And it will threaten their... lives.
So they began to extract large amounts of painful energy from this place to investigate the cause of the problem.
But they found that they couldn't seem to find out anything, so they just sat here... looking very distressed.
It seems that these creatures themselves rely entirely on pain crystals to survive...which is quite interesting.
But they do not live on this 'land of pain', they just come here once in a long time.
They live far away from here.
"No, we can't wait any longer."
These creatures communicate through signal transmission. Lin discovered that as long as they use some imagination, their peers around them will know.
"Where exactly is it... is it the direction of the dust?"
"No, there was nothing after the fight just now..."
These creatures are currently mainly discussing something about Lin's...pompom.
Because Lin's fluff ball was in 'invisible' state when it approached them, they couldn't see it directly, but they still noticed something, so they tried to attack everywhere.
They also detected the micro-troops that Lin had scattered, but they didn't care.
In other words, they were unable to carefully observe the falling micro-troops running around, but could only detect a large amount of...'dust' falling from above.
"We should retreat. We can't stay here for long."
After a creature said this, Lin found that they all gathered towards... the location of the huge 'nail' that was stuck in the ground.
As soon as they touch the surface of the nail, their entire bodies will merge into the nail, leaving not a single one outside.
Then the whole nail began to shake.
It slowly pulled itself out of the ground and slowly floated to a high place.
Then it accelerated suddenly, and the whole nail quickly rushed into the depths of the void.
Not long after Lin's ball of fluff flew out...it also suddenly accelerated.
Lin wanted to follow it and see where it would go.
Although there are already micro-troops following these organisms, it is still better to follow them directly.
But flying at high speed might make the ball of fluff easily discovered, but Lin didn't care.
While following it, Lin found that its speed was getting faster and faster... as if it had already discovered and wanted to get rid of the ball of fluff.
But in fact, it still can't get rid of the fluff.
Lin has been maintaining a speed similar to it, following it at a distance of 10,000 kilometers.
After flying for thousands of seconds, the 'nail' finally began to slow down.
But Lin also found that its body was becoming more and more...transparent.
This is true not only in vision, but also in other perceptual systems.
It seemed as if it had been completely 'erased'.
But it's not teleporting or anything, it's just a special way of hiding.
Very similar to pom poms.
But Lin was still able to follow it because some of her perception abilities had not been 'erased'.
This allowed Lin to follow it and see the 'cue ball' it was heading towards.
