Chapter 46 The Painting in the Wood

Leviathan folded his wings and swam to the position that the head worm said, which happened to be the edge of the lake and was covered by a pile of ferns. m

Leviathan used his tentacles to poke the fern away, and countless small flying insects flew from the fern. This was a small golden beetle that shimmered under the sunlight.

"Clan?" Leviathan stretched out his tentacles, grabbed a small golden beetle with the suction cups on his tentacles, and reached out to the head bug and asked.

"Polkat worm, bright, reflective, food, not a group." The head worm bit the small beetle on the tentacle sucker, chewing it and eating it.

"The smell of the ethnic group, there are residues, continue to search."

After eating, the head worm rolled over, rolled off the Leviathan, and fell into the ferns.

"Dangerous, don't act without authorization." Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and pulled the headworm out of the fern. Lin had already noticed that although the headworm knew what danger was, it didn't seem to have any sense of crisis itself. , it has almost no self-defense ability, the only trick is to roll, so it is easy to be attacked.

The caught head worm moved its body and seemed to want to continue rolling down. Lin felt the excited mood of the head worm and said, "Find the group passage, three meters ahead, on the ground, under the fern."

Clan channel?

In confusion, Lin walked to the position mentioned by the head worm, and opened the ferns there. Lin found that a tree hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared there.

"The settlement of the ethnic group, the home tree, inside, roll!" The head worm rolled down the Leviathan's back again excitedly, and rolled into the tree hole.

Inside the home tree? Sure enough, as Lin thought, the middle of this tree is also empty, but it should not be all empty, otherwise it is unlikely to support such a huge body.

The hole is too small for Leviathan to get in. Lin was thinking about whether to blow up the hole bigger, or release a few small units when she heard the sound of a head worm...

"Lin-"

Now the head worm will use the name 'Lin' for any of Lin's troops, instead of looking for the biggest leader like before.

It seems to have something wrong with it. Lin still planned not to blow up the hole first, but let Leviathan release several flyers into the cave.

The cave feels very narrow,

It is a small space less than one meter wide and three meters long. And the head worm was lying on the ground at the bottom of the cave, as if looking at something.

It found Lynn's flyer flying in, and said, "Clan drawing, Lynn. Take a look."

Lin found that there was an obvious circle-shaped drawing mark where the head worm was lying, but there was nothing else.

"Painting?" The flier with the vocal sac questioned the head worm.

"Painting, traces of ethnic groups. The smell remains. Start searching." The head worm started to roll as she spoke. Lin watched it roll against the wall of the cave, rolled back to its original position, and rolled to the entrance of the cave, but found that it couldn't get up. Rolling back to the bottom of the cave, this action only lasted for a while before it stopped rolling and said, "The cave is too small. The rolling search method cannot be used, and the clues are interrupted."

Lynn sometimes really wonders if 98% of its brain cells are useless.

The head worm is now staying on the painting, as if thinking about something. After a while, it suddenly said: "Find new clues, use the second search method, shake."

"Gah!" The head worm suddenly made a very sharp sound. This sharp sound made Lin feel a rapid vibration in her hearing. Under this vibration, the ground under the head worm and the There were cracks in the surrounding walls.

The original sound has this effect? Worth researching...

I saw more and more cracks around, covering the whole cave like a net, but the head worm continued to speak, and finally, the whole cave was cracked. Lin found that after the cracked cave wall, appeared a wider space.

The head worm fell down because of the cracking of the ground, and only heard a 'boom', and Lin found it fell into a lake.

This lake is exactly the same size as the one above, with a width of about 20 meters. This should be the center layer of the tree. It is a fairly large space, about 30 meters from the bottom to the top, because the light outside cannot shine here. The overall appearance is relatively dark, but there is a strange blue light in the lake in the center, which illuminates the entire space.

The head worm floated in the lake and rolled desperately, and screamed: "close to death, close to death, dangerous, roll quickly, escape from death, don't want to die, refuse to die, Lin——"

Lin immediately let the flyer fly, grabbed the head worm and dragged it to the lake. The head worm was very light and could float, otherwise it might be quite dangerous to sink to the bottom of the lake.

Lin's breathing system is generally amphibious, but it seems that most creatures have abandoned the ability to breathe in water.

The head worm rolled ashore: "Get out of death, safe environment, tired and need to rest."

Seeing the head bug resting on the ground, Lin looked around. There were only a few plants growing on the ground and inner walls here. They were all moss, no ferns. In the center of the lake, there was a huge wooden column directly and the top Connected, Lin believes that the lake water above may flow here through this column, forming a new lake.

But are they connected to the waterfall below? Lin felt that according to the flow rate of the waterfall, the two lakes would soon be drained.

"The rest is over, the search begins, and the smell of the ethnic group remains." At this time, the head worm began to roll again. It rolled about ten meters and stopped, and began to wriggle and rub against the moss pile, while the moss After the dust was wiped away, a picture appeared under it.

Lin saw that it seemed to be a mark carved with a sharp object, but she couldn't understand what it meant.

When Lin was about to ask the head worm, it suddenly said first: "The picture of the ethnic group is incomprehensible."

"Unintelligible?" Lin was surprised by the reaction of the head worm. Isn't this from its group?

"The ethnic group doesn't know how to draw pictures. It is possible that during my absence, I will learn new abilities."

That is to say, its group did not know how to draw pictures, but did they only learn it within the time that the head worm was captured by Qibucha?

This is also normal. Lin remembered that the head worm only knew how to draw after seeing the changes in Lin's pigment cells. It can be seen that it does not know how to draw.

Next, the head worm turned out many pictures on the ground. Except for a few that felt like doodles, most of them were still understandable. The most important thing was to draw the appearance of some creatures of the head worm group, and they were in the picture. Hunting, eating scenes and more.

However, why is there no swarm creature of a head worm here?

Lin's flyer followed the head worm that kept pulling out pictures on the ground. Lin suddenly found that a new picture it pulled out had a creature exactly like it.

"Muketu, the new head worm, replaced me when I left." The head worm looked at the picture and said, "The tribe already has a new head, a new mind."

"How do you know?" Lin looked at the picture and only drew a head worm, and nothing else. How could it know so much information?

The head worm said: "The smell, like the painting, is engraved here."

It turns out that Lin has also seen many creatures communicate with scents. Smell can carry extremely complex information. It may be quite troublesome to interpret. Generally, this kind of information can only be understood by the same family. Lin then asked: "Replaced?"

"Yes, there is no head, no thinking, no hunting, no eating, only death, the tribe needs a head, and the queen gave birth to a new head." The head worm said with a somewhat 'lost' emotion, the feeling of this emotion It's like the good food escaped.

'Queen' is the word for the species that are produced by the head bug pair in the group. I think this word is quite interesting.

"Continue to track the traces of the ethnic group." The head worm continued to roll on the ground, and found more paintings on the ground. Lin found that all the paintings were drawn around the central lake, and most of the paintings were It's recording some life history, and it doesn't seem to be particularly interesting.

But after the head worm made a full circle, it finally stopped, and said very tiredly: "The exploration continues, the lake bottom has a special smell and cannot be explored."

Bottom of the lake?

Lin looked at the blue lake, and Lin also thought it was necessary to study it.

Thinking about it, Lin directly let the pilots enter the lake. Although pilots are generally flying, they can also move in the water.

Lin found that the water was filled with a kind of small luminous creatures, and the number was quite large. The flyers slowly approached the bottom of the lake. Lin found that the bottom of the lake was full of various impurities and debris, most of which were corpses. Nothing special could be found at all, there may be paintings buried in the debris.

However, there is no way for the pilot to dig, and the Leviathan must come down.

Wait, what is that?

Lin saw a group of huge creatures coiled together in the pile of debris. If it was stretched out, it might be about ten meters in length, and it looked... like a worm.

The flyer got a little closer, and Lin noticed that it was indeed... a mist worm. This one is much smaller than the ones on the other side of the Spire Forest, but the carapace and appearance are exactly the same.

It seems to be in a sleeping state, motionless, how could this creature be here? Link had never seen a mist worm in the Twisted Jungle.

"The exploration of the painting, the storage of gas has been completed, start rolling, with Lin." Lin suddenly heard the sound of falling into the water, the flyer looked up and could see the head bug rolling on the water.

With this sound, the mist worm slowly raised its head, and as soon as it woke up, it saw the head worm rolling on the water...
