Chapter 36 The Burning Forest of Flash

The sound from outside... There was indeed something huge falling to the ground. Lin could see from the eye-catching cannons on the green carpet outside, and a huge twisted tree trunk fell to the ground across the river.

On the trunk of the tree, there is also a layer of brilliance that is constantly beating. This brilliance keeps exuding extremely high temperature, and Lin can clearly feel it.

It was... 'flame'... 'burning'.

Lin remembered those boulders that she had seen in the disaster before, and they were also wrapped in high-temperature flames.

Did another disaster happen?

"Water, move, Farr, death."

The headworm repeated these words beside Leviathan, and Lin could feel it was in a very anxious state.

Leviathan walked to the entrance of the cave, Lin asked the door plasticizer to dissolve the sealed opening, and Lin planned to let Leviathan go directly to investigate.

Outside the base, it seems to be another world. The sky is constantly reverberating with violent thunder, and endless raindrops keep falling on everything in the field of vision, forming a never-ending noise.

The twisted tree trunk fell on a clearing in the Glittering Woodland, not far from the river, and its whole body was burning with high-temperature flames, and Leviathan could feel the heat wave when he got closer.

What's the cause...how could such a huge tree just break down and fall?

The Leviathan approached the burning tree trunk step by step, and Lin released a small flier with powerful sensory organs. It approached the burning tree trunk to detect the temperature of the flame.

The feeling of this temperature... is very similar to lava, but it seems to be different from the relatively fixed temperature of lava. The temperature of the flame fluctuates, some areas are quite high temperature, and some areas are cooler.

But now, Lynn is more concerned about the reason for its burning.

Looking up here, you can see that in the dense and complex twisted trees, a tree trunk is broken, and the section is also burning with flames.

Lin remembered that after the boulders that burned the flames fell into the water, the flames disappeared, but now with such a heavy rain, the flames did not seem to weaken in the slightest.

'boom! ’

A bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, and at the same time, Lin clearly heard a sound like an explosion, and saw that the trees above suddenly burst into flames, and the huge tree trunk broke under the sound of the explosion and fell down...

A large number of broken burning giant trees fell from the upper layer of the forest and smashed into various parts of the glittering woodland. The forest once again lit up with dazzling brilliance, but unlike the previous light that symbolized life, the high temperature of the flame only symbolized death. Small creatures surrounded by flames are forced to burrow from the ground or among the trees, they try to escape towards the place where there is no flame, or they are swallowed by the flame when there is no way to escape.

Leviathan stood among the burning wood, Lin calculated the location they hit in advance, so there was no need to dodge, but... what was that just now?

Seems like lightning? Did lightning cause the wood to burn? But the Twisted Jungle has had dozens of torrential rains before, and almost all of them were accompanied by strong lightning and thunder. The lightning this time was actually not very strong. Lin had seen it much stronger than this.

But none of those lightnings could cause the Twisted Jungle to burn. The Twisted Jungle seemed to be able to resist lightning itself. Why did it burn this time?

"Water, moving, cracked wood, Farr, death."

Lin remembered the words of the head bug...it seemed to know something...

Although Lin has lived for a long time, she doesn't know much about land. Many things that happen on land are completely different from those in the sea, just like this flame.

The flames continued to spread on the tree trunks, as if trying to extend the high temperature light to the entire jungle,

In water, only lava is similar, but lava cannot spread in water, and they will quickly cool and solidify.

Now, the key to solving the problem is the word of the headworm.

By the way, the water, the moving, the cracked wood means that when the water is removed, the tree dries up?

Thinking about it, Lin asked Leviathan to approach the nearest twisted tree that was not affected by the flames. Lin just used her tentacles to suck at the bark of the tree and tore off a large piece of the bark.

The twisted tree really caused a problem. The bark of these trees was originally quite hard and could not be easily torn off at all, but now...

Lin found a lot of white silk under the torn bark.

Is this... a fungus? Could it all be caused by fungi?

By the way, the fungus destroys the internal structure of the wood, this organism... can decompose the wood...

Originally, there was no fungus at all in this twisted jungle, but since then, since the Chibcha bugs were wiped out, the moss began to disappear, and then even affected these giant twisted trees.

Why do they have such a powerful destructive power? Can the immune cells of the twisted tree be beaten? It is actually incredible that fungi can affect so many trees. Logically speaking, even if it can affect one or two trees, it is impossible to affect so many... Twisted trees should have evolved corresponding resistances. With such a huge size and sufficient nutrients, if it infects a small creature, the fungus can quickly spread and kill it, but the huge twisted tree should have enough time to react and make immune cells, why can't it fight the fungus?

The fungus destroyed the inner structure of the twisted tree, making the tree unable to resist lightning, and although Lynn didn't know how they resisted lightning in the first place, it happened anyway.

Lin seemed to suddenly understand something.

'Compassion', Lin's mood when a species is extinct.

At first, Lin just thought that this mood was in the way and would prevent it from making normal judgments and fighting. Lin thought it was just telling herself about the enemy's situation.

But it seems, compassion is not so simple, it also illustrates the consequences of extinction of a species.

Is that so? But now it seems too late.

The sound of the giant tree breaking and falling was constantly heard around, and the flames beating on the wood exuded waves of heat, which surrounded the Leviathan. Now, the Leviathan can see a burning scene everywhere.

In Lin's thoughts, the word 'regret' appeared. This disaster seemed to be caused by itself.

No, I won't regret it, since it's self-inflicted, then stop it by yourself.

The Darkness was unaffected, and it seemed that the fungus did not spread there, because the burrows of the Chibcha were mainly located in the underground of the Glitter Woods, and the flames did not burn there.

Well, there is still a chance...

Leviathan carefully looked at a burning piece of wood next to him, and saw that when some larger raindrops fell on the flames of the wood, the dripped flames would disappear instantly, but soon ignited again.

Sure enough, water can make the flames go away.

But the droplets of raindrops are too scattered, and one drop is too small, is that the reason why the flame cannot be extinguished? So what if there is a lot of water?

Leviathan splits the carapace on its back, and a large amount of rainwater collects and is sucked into the body by Leviathan, and this moisture finally gathers at the muzzle of its front section.

'boom! ’ A huge water balloon was shot from the muzzle, and it hit the burning wood in front of the Leviathan. The flames hit by the water balloon dissipated in an instant, leaving only wisps of blue smoke.

It turns out that water really works.

Leviathan used a water cannon attack to blast a channel in the flames, and returned to the base in this way.

Lin didn't intend to extinguish the flames of the entire Glittering Woodland. It was too much. Lin's current unit cannot absorb water and put out the fire like Leviathan. If it needs to be transformed, I don't know how long it will take.

Crossing the river and returning to the base, Lin found that the head worm was staying at the entrance of the base. As soon as it saw Lin, it made an anxious and happy cry.

"Fal, cracked wood, dead, chief, alive, cave."

Lin now knows that 'Fal' seems to refer to fire, and the meaning of the head worm should be: "Flame burns on cracked wood, causing death, but Leviathan, the 'leader', survived and returned to the cave. middle.

It seems that it will be happy for Leviathan to survive.

Interesting, what kind of weird idea is this? But Lynn had to study something else first.

those fungi.

Leviathan returned to one of the caves dedicated to decomposition and research, and began researching fungi.

From the twisted tree trunk, Lin got a lot of fungi. In the process of decomposition and research, although this creature produces toxins and has powerful lethality, it is still very simple for Lin to kill them.

However, it doesn't make sense for Lin to kill them. Lin wants the twisted tree or moss to also have the ability to kill fungi, because it is impossible for Lin to help every twisted tree or moss kill this fungus.

Therefore, Lin wants to 'train' them. Lin still has some moss collected from outside. The fungi inside have been killed by Lin, but this moss does not have the immune cells to defeat fungi.

Lin had to find a way to make it produce immune cells. She only needed to put a small amount of fungi into the moss. They were not harmful, but they could still cause the moss's immune system to react and get rid of them.

In this case, the moss may be able to evolve, and if the moss is allowed to multiply with other moss, a new moss that is not afraid of fungi will be produced. When it falls, maybe the glittering woodland can be covered with moss again. After success , Lin can also use the twisted tree as a test.

Big evolutions are piled up by countless small evolutions.

In addition, Lin has to study a special thing: flame.

The flame is quite special. Lin thinks it was born from lightning, but after the lightning disappears, it will continue to burn and spread.

That is to say, although lightning provides it with initial energy, it can use wood as energy to continue to grow, which is very different from other substances.

Lin has a feeling that if she studies 'flame', she seems to gain a very special power.
