Chapter 27 Underground Crystal
Crystals, this kind of special thing that absorbs light, are scattered under the glittering woodland in large quantities, and the deeper you go, the more abundant it is.
As a result, the 'engineers' formed by Lin's excavation team kept digging deep into the ground. Among the many fork roads, a huge main road leading directly to the ground appeared. This main road was about two meters in diameter and led to hundreds of deep. In the abyss of rice,
Under the dark and lightless ground, Lin would place a lantern every short distance to illuminate it, just like a street lamp. Under the ground, Lin found many creatures without sight, most of which rely on smell or touch to move, although Lin also It can be like that, but Lin is quite disgusted with losing her eyesight, and Lin herself does not know why.
Engineers are 30 centimeters long, beetle-like digging troops. Their forelimbs grow into a serrated shovel shape, which is very suitable for digging. At the same time, Lin also found that the structure of the beetle is very suitable for the use of hydraulic systems. In fact, The beetle is one of the most powerful creatures Lynn has discovered.
Lin usually digs a section of road, and then transports all the crystals of this section of road back, and then digs the next section.
And just as Lin was studying the various information received by the brain readers, these sappers dug deeper and deeper, and when they were digging in a dark night, they found some special... things.
After a sapper dug up some soil in front, it found that there was a layer of crystals blocking it, and it was like a wall blocking the front of the excavating troops.
Lin didn't care at first, because the crystals that appeared at this depth were getting bigger and bigger. In order to deal with this kind of large crystals, Lin specially prepared a special kind of soldier - the rock crusher.
In fact, it is a modified version of the previous Crusher, the same beetle shape, one meter long body, the cone angle of the head can be instantly popped under the action of the hydraulic system, used to crush various rocks and rocks encountered in the ground. large crystals.
But when she shattered the wall-like crystal in front of her eyes, an incredible scene appeared in front of Lin's eyes.
An underground cave appeared behind the shattered crystal wall...
When a few sappers entered the cave with lanterns, Lin found that the cave was huge and spacious, with a height of about five meters and a width that exceeded the lighting range of the lanterns.
But the most important thing is that the cave walls here are all composed of crystals, and there are huge rhomboid crystal pillars raised on the ground. This is a world composed of crystals!
While the work of the Brain Reader continues, Lynn has turned her attention fully to this crystallized world.
The sappers took the lantern and slowly advanced on the crystallized land. Lin didn't know whether it was created by creatures or natural.
Speaking of which, the word 'natural' seems to refer to non-biological things, but it seems to have nothing to do with heaven. Why is it called natural? Forget it, no matter how much.
This cave is quite spacious. The sappers have walked for a while, and they are already dozens of meters away. The light of the lantern still cannot shine on the surrounding cave walls.
At this time, Lin suddenly heard some small voices...
The sappers immediately turned the light to the target. Under the light, Lin found some small creatures moving here.
These creatures are similar to ice crystal monsters, and they are all covered in armor made of crystals, reminding Lin of the creatures in the crystal land in the sea before.
This creature looks like a scorpion without a tail, and its body length is only more than ten centimeters, so Lin plans to call it a 'crystal scorpion', which doesn't seem to be creative...
There are dozens of crystal scorpions here. When they sensed Lin's sappers approaching, they immediately dropped the crystals and ran away.
What are they doing? Lin found that there were many small holes on the ground composed of crystals, and there were quite a few pieces near the holes, as if the crystal scorpions were digging the crystals on the ground. They probably used pliers to dig out the crystals, and then crushed them into smaller ones. shredded,
Lin asked a few sappers to catch up with the crystal scorpions. Although they were small, they ran quite fast, but the crystal scorpions didn't seem to know how to hide behind those crystal pillars.
It won't run away in dispersal, but will only run in a straight line in a group, so it's still quite easy to chase.
After chasing for a while, Lin found that a huge black shadow appeared in front of her eyes, and the crystal scorpions instantly disappeared under the shadow.
What is this? A big monster? In the process of chasing, the sappers did not bring lanterns, but completely relied on hearing and smell to chase, so they could only see the blurred shadow of this thing through the sparse light from the lanterns placed in the distance.
Wait, as if this isn't an object...
Lin asked a sapper to bring the lantern over. Under the increasingly clear light, Lin saw this thing, no, it should be said that this pile of things... is a lot of branches!
These branches filled the crystal cave in front of Lin's eyes, and I didn't know how many there were. Could this be the reason why the ground of the Glittering Woodland is full of moss and no branches?
A large number of scattered branches can be seen on the surface of the Dark Plain, but the Shining Lin Land is full of moss. Lin has always wondered where the branches went. It turns out that they were all transported to the depths of the ground?
That is to say, is there a passage to the surface in this crystal cave, and are there creatures carrying these branches down?
Sure enough, this cave must have been dug by some kind of creature...
At this time, Lin found that all the stacked branches seemed to have been cut, the bark was cut off, and they were all cut into cylindrical shapes, which looked very neat.
In that case, there should be creatures in the ground that can digest these woods...
Just thinking of this, a huge creature suddenly rushed out of the pile of wood in front of Lin's eyes. It looked like a reptile, but the scales on its body were shining like crystals. This creature was three meters long. How long, it instantly rushed to the nearest sapper with a lantern, opened its jaws, swallowed it in one bite, and bit it into pieces.
Lynn decided to call this reptile 'Crystalscale Lizard', and now it decided to kill it.
Every time she sees a new species, Lin usually takes a wait-and-see attitude, but if the opponent attacks, Lin will definitely fight back.
After the crystal-scale lizard ate a sapper, he immediately turned his attention to the other sappers. At the same time, Lin also let all the sappers charge up. They jumped on the lizard and attacked its body with its excavated forelimbs.
But the carapace of the crystal-scale lizard seems to be very hard. Unlike ordinary crystals, it must have been reinforced. It slammed its body and threw all the sappers off, and then it opened its jaws and bit the nearest sapper. .
But just before it merged its two jaws, a sharp cone slammed into the flank of the crystal-scale lizard, and it suddenly let out a scream from its mouth, and at the same time its whole body slanted to one side, Exit a few meters away.
There was a huge wound on the right abdomen of the crystal-scale lizard. The scales on the wound shattered as if it had been hit hard, and blood flowed out of it uncontrollably.
The Crystalscale Lizard turns its attention to the beetle-type creature that deals damage to it, the Rockbreaker.
The Rock Crusher has a super strong armor-crushing ability. Although it is not made for combat, its cone angle specially designed to crush rocks can easily shatter the scales of the crystal-scale lizards.
Lin didn't wait for the injured lizard to make a move, and the rockbreaker rushed up again.
The crystal-scale lizard let out a roar, and seemed to be extremely angry, opening its jaws and rushing forward.
Lin asked the Rock Crusher to lower her head, retract the cone angle, and face the rushing lizard. When the lizard bit the Rock Crusher's head, the cone angle also pressed against the lizard's upper jaw.
'Snapped'!
The tightened cone angle popped out instantly under the action of the hydraulic system, and a blood hole was punched in the upper jaw of the crystal-scale lizard. The sound from inside told Lin that it seemed to shatter the bones in the upper jaw.
The lizard spit out the Rock Crusher immediately, and stepped back while making a miserable cry. Although its size was more than three times that of the Rock Crusher, it now looked like a weak prey.
Lin didn't stop attacking, all the engineers and crushers rushed up again. The engineers used pliers to dig out the wound of the crystal-scale lizard, and the crusher was responsible for crushing the limbs of the lizard and breaking its carapace.
The killed lizards soon became the nutrients for Lin's excavation team.
On the way to decompose the lizard, Lin didn't find any special organs. Except that the lizard's carapace is a crystalline structure, its structure is very similar to that of ordinary reptiles.
But there's something weird about it...
In this lizard's food sac, Lin found many bugs with crystalline carapaces.
