Chapter 45: Among the Giant Trees

The head worm saw the creature rushing out of the waterfall, and immediately shouted; "Tumble!"

'boom! ’

Before the opponent bit the Leviathan, Lin fired a bomb at it at a faster speed, and the opponent just swallowed the bomb.

"Wow!"

The explosion of the bomb sounded together with the scream of the creature, and it suddenly retracted into the waterfall and hid.

Lin still remembers this mouth that once devoured the galloper, and I saw it clearly just now. It was a worm-like creature with a diameter of more than one meter when the mouth was opened. Although it was enough to swallow the galloper, it could not be used against the Leviathan. What kind of threat does it pose, but it will hide in the waterfall and sneak attack. It is quite clever. The water flow of the waterfall conceals its smell and figure.

"Anti-kill! You don't have to roll." The head worm looked at the worm retracting into the waterfall and shouted excitedly. The word 'rolling' is used by it to represent a variety of things, such as running away, hiding, dodging, running fast, etc. It's all described by the word 'tumbling', probably just trying to tell Leviathan to escape.

Lin didn't go behind the waterfall to confirm whether the worm was dead or not, but continued to fly to the top of the tree canopy.

It should be able to reach the top soon, and Lin is more interested in the things at the top of the 'home tree'.

The home tree is surrounded by a large cloud at a height of almost 100 meters, so it is impossible to see the situation higher, and when the Leviathan flew to this height and touched these clouds, they all suddenly dispersed. opened.

The 'cloud' here is not a cloud, but a large group of small and hairy creatures gathered together to form, they are only about one centimeter or so. It looks like a ball of fur, and they seem to float in the air with this fluff. Usually gathered together, with just a touch, they will fly all over the sky.

Lin carefully observed these hair balls and found that their hair seemed to be inflated and would swell up. I felt that this was quite interesting, but unfortunately it was not a new way of flying.

Pushing aside the clouds formed by the hairs, the higher layers of the tree entered Lin's field of vision along with the sunlight.

The height of the canopy finally appeared in front of Lin's eyes. This huge tree is more than 300 meters high, and the top is covered with a piece of green, with no branches branching out, and that green looks like a lot of... ferns?

Why are there ferns growing on it?

Lin asked Leviathan to speed up and fly up, on the bark at a height of about 100 to 200 meters,

Lin saw that there were a lot of tree holes, which seemed to be the nests of some kind of creature. But the tree hole is empty, there is nothing.

The waterfall is gushing out of a huge tree hole at a height of about 190 meters. It seems that the water flow comes from the inside of the tree? It's a wonderful feeling.

At a height of more than 200 meters, the bark has been covered with a layer of green, and Lin found that there is a lot of moss growing here. And there are quite a lot of species. Lin just looked at a small area and found more than ten species. In addition, there were some short ferns, which were filled with damp mist. provide them with an ideal environment.

But Lynn is weird, in general. It is impossible for the immune cells of a tree to let other plants take root on itself. Why do so many plants grow on the bark?

Leviathan flew to a height of nearly 310 meters, and finally reached the top of the tree. When she crossed the edge of the canopy covered with various clusters, Lin saw the center of the tree...

This is……

The middle of the canopy is empty. Looking down from the top, the center of this giant tree is like a huge pothole. This 'canopy pothole' is more than 50 meters deep and more than 40 meters wide, and there is a hole in the center. The lake with a width of more than 20 meters is covered with a large number of green plants around and on the inner wall, and there are also many creatures moving in it.

"Hometown, homeland, my ethnic group, live here."

The head worm moved to the edge of Leviathan's back, looked at the scene below, and made a sound of excitement.

"The ethnic group, here, lives, earthquakes, I am separated from them, I want to see them, all the time."

Lin looked at the environment below. There were many creatures moving here, but none of them looked like the ones drawn by the head bug, and Lin was also very concerned about what happened to this tree. Although the environment inside was very good, Lin Don't think the tree is alive, it feels like a giant corpse full of plants and creatures.

So, Lin asked the head worm, and sometimes Lin would not communicate by voice, but directly stretched the tentacles in front of the head worm, and the pigment cells in the tentacles' cortex began to change at a high speed. In the image of the pigment cells, two trees appeared, among which One is overgrown with leaves and very lush, while the other is cracked and withered.

The head worm instantly understood that Lin was asking whether the tree was dead or alive, and it replied: "The home tree, ten years ago, died, the cause: unknown, but it is still habitable, and will not collapse and collapse, the trunk composition, It's pretty solid, only the fungus, which destroys the tree structure, there's no fungus here."

It seems that fungi are really dangerous, and it is impossible for such a dead tree to have any immunity. If such a huge tree collapses... the consequences may be serious.

But has the tree experienced an earthquake? Lin can't see any traces yet, it may be covered by plants.

The head worm also has the concept of 'year', which is used to express the pronunciation of many days and nights. A year of the head worm has 1060 days and nights, which is quite long. According to it, it seems that their group observes the changes in the starry sky to count.

There is a star called 'Wah quala' by the head bug, and this star returns to a certain position in the sky every 1060 days and nights.

At the same time, the growth cycle of the head worm is also calculated in this way. Every thirty 1060 days and nights of its group, a new head worm will be born, and some environmental changes and other things are also recorded.

It feels very strange, but Lin still uses her own chronological recording method, which is 365 days and nights. ,

The Leviathan slowly descended into this huge hollow tree trunk. The environment inside is like a small forest, with many creatures and plants. Some taller ferns are even about two meters long, and the ground is also paved. Filled with all kinds of plants, the whole place looked prosperous and complex, but Lin didn't see any group of creatures with head bugs.

Lin asked the head worm, "Clan?"

The head worm shook his body, and then said: "Smell search, no smell was found, the group is not here, continue to search."

Maybe this is just the surface, Lin thinks that the whole tree is hollow, thinking, Lin let Leviathan land on the lake in the center, and release some small troops to dive to the bottom of the lake to explore, Lin thinks this lake may be related to waterfalls There are relationships.

At this time, the head worm suddenly said: "I found the smell of the ethnic group, move ten meters to the east, and hide in the plants." (To be continued...)
