Chapter 143 Discovery in the Sea
It seems that the displayer just now is really effective for them. Generally, Dengshi fish or sharks are more terrifying, but Lin speculates that creatures like Blondu scorpions more often hunt down small creatures like them that swim at the bottom. , so they are more afraid of scorpions.
Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and poked the two little ancient squid that fainted due to being overly frightened. When frightened, the internal structure of the creature would shrink sharply and release a large amount of a special ingredient called The 'fear quality' makes the creature become more responsive than usual, the heartbeat is extremely fast, and the muscle speed is stronger than before, so that the creature can escape quickly.
However, sometimes it is released too much, causing the brain to be unbearable and dizzy. If Lin is a predator, they have now become minced meat.
Lin thought that this phenomenon would gradually disappear in the evolution of creatures, but in fact it did not. It is really strange that some creatures are always 'stunned'.
Now, except for the two fainted, the other ancient squids have all escaped without a trace, but Leviathan can detect some strange shapes on the surrounding biological skeletons through sound detection. run too far.
Lin also found that the color of the ancient squid will change due to emotions, and they will involuntarily change color to indicate emotional reactions.
This little creature is quite clever, maybe they used this cleverness to hide somewhere during the cataclysm, so they survived, maybe in the deep sea?
This is the next goal of Leviathan, the main purpose of Leviathan is to find the material of chitin.
Leviathan retracted the displayer and continued to swim forward. After Leviathan left a certain distance, Lin used her sound to find that the group of ancient squids just now gathered back, and they took the two comatose away.
It seems that they are very concerned about their companions. Lin found that some creatures will eat the dead of the same kind, while some will not eat them, but instead find a place to pile or bury them, which seems to have something to do with the degree of solidarity.
There are also some ancient squid that follow Leviathan with discoloration. They seemed to care about what Leviathan wanted to do, and Lynn ignored them and moved on.
In the process of advancing on the seabed, Lin also decomposed the gravel, mud and other substances on the seabed. It seems that there is no toxin in it at all. The bones scattered here are also swallowed by a large number of microscopic creatures. It will recover soon.
Sudden. Lin found a strange stone in the center of the pile of bones in front of her. It looked like a cone standing on the ground, and there were many holes in it.
When Leviathan approached the stone, the ancient squids who followed behind suddenly had a panicked mood.
They became very restless and were shaking their tentacles constantly. And the appearance of a slight discoloration in the exchange.
They are obviously not division-type creatures. Division-type organisms don't need to communicate in such a troublesome way. Any division-type organism can instantly spread information to the entire group.
In the end, when Leviathan was too close to the stone, only about two meters away, an ancient squid rushed out among their fellows, and turned bright red to stop in front of Leviathan.
This ancient squid flashed its own color on one side. While trying to swim far away, Lin knew that it wanted to draw Leviathan away from the stone.
So what's the secret in that rock?
Leviathan ignored the ancient squid, who tried his best to change color, trying to distract it, and instead swam directly towards the stone, extending his tentacles to wrap the entire stone directly.
At this moment, the ancient squid rushed to attack Leviathan's tentacles like crazy, it didn't even take the bone fragments, but directly bit it with its mouth, but this power is really... Lin can't even feel it That bite.
Lynn found an interesting phenomenon. This ancient squid was crazy and angry, but several others of its kind turned black in the distance and hid in fear.
This feeling is really abnormal, Lin even doubts that they are not the same creature?
Forget it, leave that alone.
Leviathan twisted the tentacles with force, twisting the entire rock into two pieces, and Lin also saw what was inside the rock. It was a string of white granular objects, presumably eggs, and there were several ancient squid next to them, they were lying on the rock and turned rock-colored and remained motionless.
I see. So that ancient squid just wanted to protect this place? But what happened to those who shrank back in fear? They don't want to protect their eggs? Or unable to act because the fear is too much?
Then Lin covered the stone back, and then went to catch a terrified ancient squid to disassemble it, and found that they are indeed the same species, but the 'fear quality' component in their bodies is indeed very high, and these components are too high hinder their actions. ,
However, the high amount of fear quality has little to do with the secretory organs, but has something to do with the brain. Lin believes that they keep thinking about terrible things in their brains, which leads to the excessive secretion of fear quality and affects their normal thinking.
The frenzied and angry ancient squid suddenly relaxed after Lin covered the stone back, and it slumped weakly into the water.
This is an interesting subject for research, but then Lynn ignored them and moved on. Leviathan's main task was to find a... ocean trench.
Thinking of this, a trench appeared in front of Leviathan.
This trench... seems to have never been seen before. Maybe it was newly cracked due to the sea earthquake or the moon?
The trench is very narrow, only about two meters long, and it is about 100 meters long. It extends beyond the range of light. Leviathan can't squeeze in, so Lin released a kind of troops to explore it.
Deep diver, a warhead type arm, only ten centimeters long, can resist high pressure, Leviathan released ten deep diver to dive into the trench to detect the inside.
Lin mainly finds the area where lava occurs, looks at the rock structure here, and maybe finds the material related to the purgatory worm shell material.
Under the dark trench, the deep diver moved while groping the trench wall, and they kept putting the rock debris above into their mouths to chew and decompose, exploring the ingredients.
It seems that there are components of solidified lava, and some fungi live here.
So there's lava flowing through here?
In this way, there is likely to be...
this is……
Suddenly, a deep diver discovered a special substance inside the rock composition, which was quite similar to the carapace composition of a purgatory worm. (To be continued.
