Chapter 56 In the Volcano

After the fog dissipated, this was the first sight Lin saw. It was like an incomparably gigantic rock, with a height of more than 1,000 meters. Leviathan's field of vision was completely occupied by this huge object.

In Lin's mind, there is a word to describe this object.

'mountain peak'.

In the sea, Lin had also seen mountains, but this mountain on land surpassed all the mountains that Lin had seen in the sea. Lin never thought that such a scene would exist on land.

This mountain is quite spectacular, but it seems a little out of tune with life.

The overall appearance of the mountain was gray and black. Lin thought it was a rock-like structure with no plants growing on it. What Lin paid most attention to was the surrounding of the mountain.

The entire area around the mountain was black as if it had been grilled by flames, just like where the Leviathan is now, filled with white poisonous mist and charred plants.

Lin and a few creatures can filter these poisonous gases, but obviously most creatures can't, so the surrounding of the mountain appears to be barren.

Maybe that mountain is the culprit that destroyed the head bug group, and the surrounding jungle was also destroyed by it.

Lin planned to fly to the mountain to have a look, but before that, Lin wanted to catch a small arthropod swimming in the scalding black water. Lin planned to call this arthropod an 'ash worm', which was quite fun.

Ash worms are super fast, but Leviathan is not difficult to catch them, just need a simple method - traps, you can catch them.

Just dig a hole and drive them into that hole. This trick is also learned by Lin when she observes the hunting of the head worm. The head worm is better at observing the surrounding environment. Instead of relying almost entirely on the abilities of the troops like Lin.

Catching an ash bug, Lin quickly decomposed it.

The cells of the ashworm seem to be quite special. Although it is small in size, it has a set of extremely complex organs that allow it to maintain its internal temperature. At the same time, with a certain thickness of heat-resistant carapace, this creature can live in boiling water.

This is really interesting and worth learning.

Although Lin can make heat resistant armor. But they can't stay in the heat for too long, otherwise the cells inside will be roasted, and the ash worms seem to be able to ignore this problem, they can switch a certain mechanism in the body to make the cells heat-resistant, and in the When it leaves the boiling water, it adjusts the mechanism back again. So that cells do not die due to sudden changes in temperature.

This mechanism is somewhat similar to the circulatory system of some fishes that switch between seawater and freshwater, but the ash worm is quite complicated, and there are many cells inside that Lin has never seen before, and it may take a long time to learn.

But if she can learn it completely, Lin may be able to create a class that advances in fire, as long as the strong shell can withstand the damage of the fire. In fact, the internal temperature is not very high, it only needs to be adjusted...

If Lin once had this ability, there would be no need to escape from the sea.

But no matter what, you must keep discovering new things so that evolution will not stop.

Well now. Go to the mountain and have a look.

Leviathan spread his wings and flew towards the towering mountain. Lin might be able to discover the reason for the destruction of the head bug swarm.

When Leviathan approached the mountain, Lin found that the hillside was covered with black stones, some of which were large and long, much like something Lin had seen in the sea...solidified lava.

Will the ground also erupt lava?

Leviathan continued to fly to the top of the mountain. Lin found a few plants and some arthropods in the process of flying up, but they were all too few to form a spectacular environment.

When she saw the environment here, Lin couldn't help but have an idea, maybe she could try to change the appearance of the whole environment? create an ecology?

Lin has indeed been trying to do this all the time. She has achieved some success in shaping the ecological environment on the other side of the salt lake. Lin's 'lord' has successfully created some umbrella-shaped green blankets in the salt lake. These green blankets will filter the toxins in the salt water. , turning it into clear water, which successfully attracted many creatures. If Lin filtered the water in the entire salt lake, the salt lake should soon be covered by forests.

Creating an environment is a great thing, much more useful than just raising a few creatures to eat, or just laying out a green carpet or something.

At this time, Leviathan was close to the top of the mountain. When flying to the top of the mountain, Lin found that the environment on the top of the mountain was completely different from the slope and foot of the mountain. It was actually a large lake with a diameter of about 500 meters, and the lake water looked quite clear. look.

Leviathan landed on the lake to pick up some water. Lin felt that the water was just like ordinary water, clear, without toxins, and mixed with a large number of single-celled organisms.

At the lake, Leviathan looked around, Lin suddenly found some larger figures swimming in the water, Leviathan immediately dived into the water to observe the appearance of these creatures.

Is it a salamander? Some black salamanders were active in the water. In addition, Lin also saw some worms and even fish and other creatures.

How did they get here? It is quite far from the sea!

It seems to be different from the bottom of the mountain. There is a quite rich environment, but looking at these creatures, Lin can't understand them at all. The worms are okay, and the salamanders have already begun to speak out. The salamanders cannot leave the water for too long, otherwise they will die. The skin would dry up and die, how did they get to the top of this mountain? And fish is even more incredible.

Did they evolve on their own from single cells that floated to the top of a mountain? This is even more impossible.

But anyway, this is a rich environment, and the mountain is so desolate, it is really strange.

Leviathan put away his wings and dived underwater. The deeper he went, the more turbid the water became, and the creatures inside were quite rich. Lin was surprised to find a large number of fish here, including some he had never seen before. There are many kinds of creatures, such as strange fish with a bunch of tentacles on their mouths, and some like a leaf. These creatures have different shapes and varieties. Lin thinks it is unlikely that they have evolved so many in such a small place. species, there should be other creatures that brought them here.

When diving to a depth of about 100 meters, Leviathan's field of vision was surrounded by turbid water. The water here is mixed with a lot of impurities, but these are not poisonous substances. When it dived to 200 meters, Leviathan The bottom of the lake has been touched.

It feels pretty deep.

The bottom of the lake was full of impurities. Lin released the collectors to study these impurities. Lin found that most of the ingredients in it were composed of the corpses of living things, and there were a large number of single-celled organisms on it. They were constantly decomposing these impurities, but due to the bottom of the lake. Oxygen levels are low, so they move fairly slowly.

Lin also showed this peculiar environment to the head worm through the displayer. The head worm said that it had never seen such an environment, but their group did live near this mountain a long time ago.

"The flames are like water, gushing, dying, and running away." The head bug's description of the disaster is vague, but Lin probably speculated that the mountain may have erupted with lava and destroyed the environment below, but why is there a lake on the top of the mountain, and And so many creatures?

If it is a lake that appears after the outbreak, there should be no such rich creatures in a short period of time. After all, the woodland below is still barren and there is no sign of recovery. Although there is poisonous gas below, the actual range is not very large. Organisms have evolved over a long period of time, so why haven't they been affected by lava eruptions?

What a wonderful, incomprehensible feeling.

Lin continued to explore at the bottom of the lake, Leviathan turned on the lantern, and in the light ahead, Lin suddenly saw a familiar figure dangling through the water.

That figure seems to have been seen in the sea...

Leviathan slammed open the air vent and rushed over, approaching the creature in an instant, and grabbed it with tentacles...

Is this... a shark? Are there sharks here?

This is a small bottom-dwelling shark with a body length of just over one meter. Lin has seen it in the sea. Unlike the common large sharks, they only like to lie on the seabed in search of shellfish and slow-crawling trilobites, etc. But why is it in this place? Did it fly in from the sea?

Lin tore the shark in half with its tentacles and let the collectors devour its flesh and disintegrate it.

There is nothing special about the internal structure of this shark. Lin thought it had something special to move on land, but in fact it was exactly the same as the shark in the sea.

This made Lin even more puzzled. Since it was impossible for the shark to come here by itself, how did it come? No matter what kind of tsunami, it can't be thrown over a thousand-meter mountain, right?

After decomposing the shark, Lin continued to explore. Leviathan released some collectors to assist in the exploration. They mainly opened up a lot of debris at the bottom of the lake to search for the material components here.

Based on the degree of decay of the debris and the rate of bacterial decomposition here, you can tell when these things appeared.

While Leviathan continued to move forward, suddenly, Lin saw a very strange thing appear in the light of the lantern.

It's like a stone. This stone is very large and round, about ten meters wide. Generally speaking, it is not surprising that a stone appears, but in fact, Lin has never seen any stone in this lake. I have never seen such a big round stone before. It appeared in front of Lin so suddenly, and there was no similar object around. It felt really weird...

When Leviathan was about to approach this stone, Lin suddenly felt a burst of water coming from above, Lin immediately made Leviathan speed up and leave its original position, while Leviathan swam away, its original location came' There was a bang, as if it was hit by something, and countless debris was splashed.

This is……

When the debris slowly sank, Lin saw the figure of a creature appearing in it. This creature seemed to be a fish. Its body was long and flat, about six meters long, which was quite large, and its body actually flashed silver like countless stars. of brilliance. (To be continued.
