Why? There was a living fish in the fat worm's body?
Lin let her eyeball get closer to the fat worm. She took a closer look and realized that it was a fossilized fish. Had they been resurrected? However, it was not exactly the same. Normally, such fish only had two pairs of pectoral fins. The fish in this fat worm's body had three pectoral fins, and the extra limbs made it difficult for it to swim.
"Gu gu …"
The fat worm made a sound and spat out the fish from its stomach. The fish struggled on the ground for a while and died.
Lin tried to understand their behavior. First, the little bug extracted something from the fossil and fed it to the fat worm. The fat worm grew a fish in its body, but it did not imitate the fish perfectly, so it spat it out.
Did this mean that … the Inca bugs had the ability to imitate other creatures? Perhaps there were still some undead cells in the fossil, and the Inca bugs used those cells to create a complete fish? That would be very powerful.
If that was the case, it might explain why they had the Earth Splitter.
The room was very spacious, with a diameter of about 30 meters. The ground was filled with the fat worms and the fish they spat out, as well as some other creatures. They all seemed to be fossilized creatures, but they were all very … deformed. Most of them had extra limbs, and some even had two heads. Many black bees were moving back and forth between them, dragging these deformed creatures out.
They seemed to be continuously experimenting, trying to create complete creatures. Lin Jin's eyeball looked around the room, but she did not see any of the fat worms that could create complete creatures …
As the room was very spacious and there were no flying worms, they did not notice Lin's eyeball. It was also very bright here. There were small glowing creatures stuck to the walls of the tree. Lin felt that the Inca bugs did not need light, but these glowing creatures just happened to be there.
In a corner of the room, Lin found a passage leading upwards.
This passage was about the size of ten black bees squeezed together, and it led directly to the room above. This room was as big as the one below, but there were no living creatures.
It was more like a place for dead creatures.
There were all sorts of skeletons, shells, and so on. The Inca bugs had glued the broken skeletons together. A complete skeleton was restored. These fossils were arranged neatly from large to small, and they were also divided into different types. Each fossil only had one type, and there were no duplicates. Lin also saw many fossils of ammonites and shellfish. In this' fossil room ', there were no Inca insects, only bones and shells.
Lin had seen these fossilized creatures in the sea before.
What are they doing with these bones here? Record the past creatures? What a strange habit.
Lin didn't find any other passageways here. It seemed like there were only two levels in the Hometree. The first level belonged to the fat worms. The second floor was where the bones were placed.
The behavior of the Inca bugs was hard to understand, but if they could really 'resurrect' other creatures, then this ability was pretty good.
Lin continued to observe the Hometree for a while. After confirming that they were only doing one thing, Lin left.
Perhaps each Hometree was used for different purposes. For example, the first Hometree was used to store various types of soldiers, while the second Hometree was used to revive living fossils.
Then, what were the other Hometrees for? Could it be an ordinary place to live? The two Hometrees that Lin saw weren't ordinary.
There were more than a dozen Hometrees underground. They supported the ceiling and the ground, but they all had Inca bugs inside them. It was a huge bug nest.
Lin might spend a long time studying them, but now she wanted to experiment with something else.
Outside the Hometree, the Brain Hunter slowly ascended and flew above the fern forest.
At this time, the Leviathan in the lake at the center of the mountain began to move.
There was a cave in the center of the lake. Because it was blocked by a lot of rocks, Lin didn't bother digging it out because it was too troublesome. But now, Lin felt that it was necessary to dig it out.
The Leviathan swam into the cave at the bottom of the lake. After swimming for a short distance, Lin once again saw the place blocked by rocks.
The Leviathan released a large number of Disintegrators. Lin had always used this type of troop that released strong acid to excavate. Now, Lin ordered them to quickly remove the rocks blocking the way. Lin had already removed a lot of the rocks and dug quite deep. There shouldn't be many left by now … …
Even so, Lin was still unable to complete the task even after half a day. Many of the stones had been dissolved by the Disintegrator, but there was still a large pile of them behind. At this moment, the Brain Hunter in the underground cave suddenly noticed something strange.
It was now night time on the surface. Originally, Lin thought that the underground world would be illuminated because of the luminous creatures, but she didn't expect that when night fell on the surface, so did the underground world.
It seemed like the glowing creatures had slowly stopped their light organs, causing the entire place to darken. Lin noticed that the Inca bugs had all returned to the Hometree before the place turned completely dark. Could it be that they were afraid of the dark? Lin remembered that the cave in the desert pit was very dark.
In the end, the underground cave became completely dark like the surface. But because the starlight couldn't reach here, the underground cave was dark. Lin couldn't see anything here. No matter how good her eyesight was, it was still built on the condition that there was light.
Even the glowing creatures in the Hometrees slowly dimmed. They seemed to have received a unified signal and stopped their light organs at the same time.
This phenomenon was really strange … …
In the endless darkness, countless strange cries resounded in the fern forest. This included the sound of running creatures, the sound of flying wings, the screams of being killed, and the roars of hunters. It felt like the forest, which had fewer creatures during the day, was suddenly filled with a large number of creatures. Although the Brain Hunter could emit light, in this endless darkness, if it was the only one emitting light, it might be targeted by these creatures. So, Lin decided not to emit light for the time being. She mainly focused on the Leviathan's digging.
When the night was almost over, the glowing creatures in the underground cave slowly lit up again, illuminating the entire cave. The black bees of the Inca bugs also walked out of the Hometrees and continued digging.
