Chapter 157 The Suffocating Winter

After the Inca Swarm left, Lynn's Behemoth flew back to the Twisted Jungle...

Everything is calm again.

In the end, Lin didn't plan to follow them. After all, it would be too interesting to watch them all the time. However, Lin still left some tiny units on their airships. They were generally in a sleeping state. Lin decided that after many years Wake them up again, and then see how the Inca swarms turn out.

It does have this feeling. If you stare at a creature slowly, no matter how it grows, you will not feel any change. Instead, if you look at another creature again after a period of time, you will feel that it has changed a lot. .

This is called the "memory refresh effect" by Lin, and it is a very special feeling, so Lin prefers to watch it for a long time now.

But now...it's boring winter again.

Behemoth released some troops to clear the snow on his body, and the twisted jungle was in front of him.

Lin placed Behemoth on the edge of the jungle and put it into a state of sleep. In winter, most of Lin's units will sleep like ordinary creatures, reducing the energy consumption, but some of them are also in a state of awakening. Watching the changes throughout the winter.

Snowball is one of them. This is a winter observation unit created by Lin Xin. It looks like a fluffy eyeball. It can flutter with the wind and fly with the snow. In this silver-covered world. , watching the entire continent.

In fact, it is a ball that has been specially treated. It is not afraid of the reflection of snow and has the ability to keep warm.

Now that the snow was flying in the sky, Lin released a large number of snowballs into the sky above the twisted jungle, and it fluttered as the cold wind spread. Record everything in the jungle.

The water in the canyon has also formed a thick layer of ice crystals. The huge home tree is covered in a layer of snow. In this cold environment, everything is close to the state of withering...

Only one kind of creature moves in the ice-blocked canyons.

Spar lizards, these creatures that can generate their own body temperature, did not fall asleep in winter. It used its claws to dig out those frozen or sleeping creatures from the thick ice layer, and enjoy these unresistable flesh and blood.

This is their season.

However, it takes a lot of energy to continuously produce heat. The ability of these lizards to insulate is not strong enough.

But there were also some who were frozen to death halfway before going back.

A flock of blizzards drifted across the canyon with the cold wind. On this frozen sea, there are many spar lizards digging holes in the ice, and there are also many frozen corpses. It seems that this winter is more energetic than before.

Some snowballs fluttering over the twisted jungle stretched out their feather-covered wings from behind and flew high into the sky.

After passing through some thin clouds, the floating islands appeared in front of Lin's eyes. The special product of the arrival of the moon is now also covered by a piece of silver. Not to the point of falling.

nothing interesting...

Just like last winter. All creatures fell into a deep sleep, and nothing happened. After Yue got close to a certain level, she never got close to Lin again, and she couldn't help but feel bored...

The Twisted Jungle was covered with large swaths of ice and snow. At the foot of the mountain, perhaps because the mud inside was draining, there was no hot spring at all this time, so no creatures were near here.

Both the head worm and Muketu fell asleep. This time the head worm fell asleep on the airship. Although it was colder at high altitude, it seemed that it was well insulated, so there was no problem. Occasionally in the sky A swirl of air appears, but does not affect it.

They were all asleep, and Lin, while looking at this silver-white world, waited for the time to pass slowly... The journey of the pioneers to explore the volcano was also suspended, and Lin wanted to wait until spring.

Ten days and nights, thirty days and nights, seventy days and nights...

Winter is too long... Lin can also fall asleep, but she always feels that she will miss something.

Indeed, ten days and nights passed after Lin thought so, and Lin discovered a strange thing...

This thing suddenly appeared silently, and Lin didn't know the reason for it at all, that is... The oxygen in the air seemed to decrease.

What I discovered at first was that during the flight of the snowball, breathing would gradually become difficult. At first, Lin only thought that it was related to the airflow. The air in various places was analyzed in detail.

The oxygen content in the air has indeed decreased a lot, which will even affect the normal acquisition of oxygen by many organisms. Although it has not been fatal, it will cause some problems.

Why is this happening? Lynn doesn't know.

This kind of situation should not happen suddenly, but it has been decreasing continuously, and now it has decreased to the extent that it will have an impact, and it was only discovered by Lin.

what is the reason? Ordinary green algae and plants can produce oxygen, and although plants are in a sleepy state in winter, this did not happen last winter.

Strange and hard to understand, could it be the case of those air swirls in the sky recently? Or is it collapsing with the underground world? Or does it have something to do with the fungus decomposing massive amounts of wood buried in the ground?

It appears to require investigation on multiple fronts.

If the oxygen level has been maintained at this level, it is fine, at most it will make the creature feel uncomfortable, but if it continues to decrease, it will have a great impact on the creature.

Lin asked a large number of snowballs and some troops to investigate multiple areas, in the air, in the jungle, under the frozen water, and in the depths of the ground.

The vortex in the sky is just the air current spinning. Although the reason is not clear, it seems that there is no problem. There is no problem in the sea and the jungle. Only the underground environment is a bit strange. Lin found that the fungus has indeed spread deep underground. I don't know how many years the wood has been accumulated here, but now there are signs of fungal infection, but now because of the cold, the fungi have stopped growing, and it is difficult to confirm whether they are directly related to oxygen.

But the oxygen is indeed decreasing. After more than ten days and nights, Lin found that the oxygen has become lower than before, and some creatures have been affected.

Speaking of which... this feeling is really interesting, once the creatures died out because of the appearance of oxygen, but now they are dying because of the lack of oxygen. (To be continued...)
