Including the spy, sixteen goggles formed a circle, and they all looked at the mollusk that crawled out of the hook wheel.

No one of the ground mirrors does anything, they do n’t say anything, they just stare so ...

But Lin felt that they might launch attacks at any time. Before that, Lin carefully observed this soft creature.

As described, it looks like a moving metal liquid. The surface reflects the luster of the metal. The whole is as soft as water and moves like an amoeba.

If this group of things is rolled into a ball, the diameter is about three centimeters, but this is already a relatively large species.

Like the tiny civilizations, the molluscs are not too big, at least the description of the data seen in the king.

It is also very cautious. The mollusk does not move after drilling out of the hook wheel. It sticks out a very slender structure like a tentacle on the body. It seems to be used to observe the surrounding Probing everywhere.

This tentacle was initially probed back and forth on the mollusk, but it slowly extended longer and longer, reaching beyond the body's reach.

"Kill it."

Suddenly, a ground mirror lighted up a little.

'Wow!'Sharp objects suddenly shot from all the surrounding mirrors, they instantly filled the body of this mollusk.

But the mollusk swayed a little, and the spikes stuck on it fell to the ground, and then the mollusk immediately changed the shape of the body, and it suddenly spread out a pair of ... wings.

Its wings look very thin, but it seems to have a skeleton. It flaps its wings quickly, dragging the entire soft body off the ground and flying high in the air.

"Fight it! Kill it!"

The ground mirrors radiate light while shooting at the mollusk creatures in the air, and sharp spikes fly out.

The mollusk is constantly shaking its body in the air, which makes most of the nails stick to it. While successfully protecting the wings, it also flies farther and farther.

but....

'Wow!'A nail pierced through the protection of the body and made a hole directly in the wings of the mollusk. The body of the mollusk that was flying suddenly twisted, and it fell from the air and fell on the white grass in the distance. Above.

"Quickly harvest it!"

The ground mirrors immediately ran over there, and the mollusk that fell off quickly climbed away.

The mollusk crawled faster than the ground mirror. It quickly climbed over the white grass and reached the rock face opposite the cave.

Then it climbed up the rock wall and climbed up high. At this time, the ground mirrors chased into the white grass, as if knowing that their speed could not keep up, the ground mirrors gave up the pursuit.

The moving method of the floor mirror is to use a small 'foot' to move, which is similar to the snail creature, but the speed is much faster than the snail creature, and they can sometimes collect part of the foot and push themselves with a small amount of foot. Slide on the ground.

This is effective in cities where they are smooth everywhere, but it is not very slippery outside, so they ... it is difficult to catch up with molluscs.

However, the ground mirrors are not very concerned about whether they can catch up, and they quickly send the news back to the city.

............

"They found it! They found it!"

Within the city, the King of the Mirror, who has been waiting for news, was a little excited after receiving the news, because this time it received the first news about molluscs.

"They must be nearby! They must be nearby. Hurry up and follow!"

"Follow-up troops dispatched!" "Follow-up troops started!"

When the king gave the light as a command, the soldiers around it also gave light. They were one after another as if they were talking, and the light emitted from the hall was always passed to the entrance, and then passed by the guards of the entrance. Go to the ground mirrors in the outside corridor, and the ground mirrors in the outside corridor light up one by one, and keep sending instructions outside the building.

Finally, a large group of ground mirrors on the square outside the royal building lit up one by one, and the light they radiated together was even more dazzling than the original lighting here.

However, this disappeared after only a few seconds, and then a group of troops in the square began to move, and they quickly moved towards the entrance of the underground maze.

This was decided before. If any exploration team found a mollusk, it would immediately dispatch more troops to that location to follow up the exploration team.

As for the exploration team ... their mission will not change.

............

"Keep going."

The molluscs have climbed to an invisible place, which is completely lost, but the ground mirrors have no opinion, they directly advance on this white grass.

Lin's spies are also advancing with them, and at the same time, Lin is detecting these grass-like creatures around him.

These creatures are still very interesting. They are not white and do not emit light. The main thing is a layer of fungus.

The main reason is that this layer of fungus is glowing.

The reason for their glow seems to be to capture the surrounding small creatures. There are many flying small creatures in the grass. The size of these creatures is less than a millimeter and is very small, but the content is complicated. When walking through the grass, You can see many small flying objects.

And these creatures are also very interesting ... they don't have individuals who move alone.

Each flying object is basically composed of a large flying creature carrying many small 'passenger creatures'. When these flying creatures fly over a certain white grass, it will throw the carrying 'passenger' Go down, and then the fungus that grows on the surface of the grass will engulf the dropped creature.

They may have some wonderful relationship, but Lin did not study too much. Lin has another main purpose of observing the grassland, which is to find ...

Yes.

Lynn noticed that a soft substance appeared in the haystack not far away. It was the mollusk that had just fallen off.

Before the ground mirror shot at it, the mollusk used its body to block most attacks, but its body was not indestructible, and a small piece of 'meat' was knocked down by the ground mirror and fell into the grass.

It seems that no creature is interested in this piece of 'meat', then it should not be a cell structure. Generally, if a piece of multi-cellular creature's flesh falls on the ground connecting the world, it will disappear in a short time.

Lin's spy walked over, stretched out a tentacle from his head, picked up the piece of meat, and put it in his body for testing.

Although Lin made such strange movements within the scope of the ground mirrors, she did not suffer any suspicion. Although it is said that the ground mirrors equipped with some special tools can also do this kind of movement, but here to explore the team The floor mirror is not equipped with that kind of thing.

It ’s mainly their character, they do n’t have any doubts about their peers, but if they do something weird, they will still be doubted.

Thinking, Lin was testing the flesh of this mollusk.

As it turns out, its outer layer is an inedible toxic part for cellular organisms, and its internal structure ...

There is a cellular part.

Moreover, it has similarities with the "Pseudo-Stone" recently manufactured by Lin, mainly a structure in which non-cells and cells are mixed together. This structure can perfectly operate in harmony and has many new features.

Lin's pseudolith is mainly based on the internal structure of several other creatures-bus creatures and gel creatures.

Therefore, the flesh of this mollusk is also very close ... especially the gel creature.

This gave Lin an idea that there might be a connection between molluscs and gel organisms.

Yes ... to say that there is also an ecological connection, molluscs live on the stellar bus that is about to collapse, and then gel creatures live on the floating rocky ground after the collapse.

However, it is not yet fully confirmed.

Because their structures are not exactly the same, Lyn found many differences, and there are many in common, so it is possible ...

Mollusc organisms and gel organisms are ancestors.

What they have in common is that they do not store the life data with the usual nuclear information, but with other structures. This structure will not be attacked by the usual cellular viruses, and it is not easy to produce mutations due to various effects.

Lin has not seen a virus that can affect this storage structure. Of course, such organisms are very rare. Now there are not many parts found. If you catch a whole live, you can understand them better. .

Although it is possible to calculate how they are overall from the meat pieces found now, it is more interesting to study directly because it is 'discovery', not 'guessing'.

But is the correct path forward now ...?

The goggles had walked out of the white grassland and came under the rock wall where the molluscs climbed, but instead of climbing up the rock wall, they walked forward next to the rock wall.

"Why don't you track the target?" Lin asked them with a flash of light.

"Tracking the target will be counterattacked." "It will be attacked." "Walking around is safer."

In general, they seem to be afraid of being attacked if they pursue the target, so they go everywhere.

However, it is obviously not safe to walk around, and it will deviate from the goal. After Lin told them these ideas, these ground mirrors rarely considered for tens of seconds instead of responding immediately, and then they decided.

"Then chase the target." "Crawl towards the target and proceed quietly."

These goggles are not stubborn, they quickly accepted the idea, and then began to climb up the rock wall.

The molluscs had drilled into a small hole in the rock wall before, and Lin felt that the place might lead to their kingdom.
