Chapter 162 Let's Go
Above a small snowmelt lake in the forest, a creature in strong armor slowly climbed out of a tree root that dipped into the water. After it climbed to a certain height, its carapace began to crack with a crack , Among the cracks, four long wing membranes stretched out, and with the extension of the wings, its body slowly rose. Now its wings and body are still very soft, but after it has completely hardened in the air, It will be the terrifying Skyrim hunter.
But before that... 'crack'.
It was swallowed by a reptile from the sky, the creature flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Giant-veined dragonflies are powerful predators in the sky. They have been rampant in the sky for a long time, but they never thought that there would be such a time when the hunter became... the prey.
There are many kinds of giant-veined dragonflies, and most of them like to lay eggs in water. Lin only found one called 'scarlet giantfly' that lays eggs in the mud at the end of summer and waits for the snow to melt in spring. Hatching, their larvae begin to emerge from the water before they reach full size.
Their larvae may be able to judge the oxygen level in the air, because dragonfly larvae are very resistant to hypoxia, but they can still know that they will become dragonflies before they are fully grown.
Now that spring is halfway through, there are a large number of small arthropod pups appearing, which are much smaller than before, eating the huge corpses of the 'seniors', and constantly fleeing in the pursuit of reptiles.
If the respiratory organs hadn't changed, they might have been like this forever, but it seems that they seem to be adapting at the moment, the small body makes them faster, and there are not many reptiles. Their lives are still somewhat similar to before.
The largest arthropod Lin has found so far is only about 20 centimeters. It was a large cricket. No creature has yet exceeded this size.
However, among them, Lin did not see worms. Worms are very ancient creatures. Giant creatures such as mist worms do not know if they can survive in an oxygen-deficient environment. Their respiratory organs are very similar to arthropods, but It is possible to exercise again to inhale oxygen, but so far, Lynn has not seen them.
Life on land has undergone a dramatic change. The same is true in the sea in the canyon. With the departure of the moon, the water level begins to gradually decrease. Once it exits the canyon, the creatures still in the water must struggle to survive.
Now there are a lot of tiny organisms gathered in the canyon. They are called 'plankton' and are composed of a variety of organisms, usually microscopic multicellular organisms. They were once common in the sea and once disappeared. But now it's popping up again, because many nutrients are washed into the canyon as the snow melts. It includes a lot of soil, corpses, etc. that are decomposed by fungi, almost all of which are related to fungi, and these nutrients make them multiply wildly.
Watching it all start to slowly change,
Lin felt the need to make another decision.
Reptiles have become the largest creatures in this low-oxygen world. They will obviously evolve, but the general evolution rate is too slow. It may take a long time, but Lin doesn't want to wait that long.
After the last sleep, Lin found that it doesn't take that long, maybe only a few thousand, or even hundreds of years, the creatures will undergo great changes. This change depends on the surrounding environment, and the two are closely related. If it was a stable environment in the beginning, the creatures may not change for a long time, but now it is different, the current environment is not stable, and the creatures will rapidly evolve to change themselves.
Biological evolution can become very fast. When a species is disturbed by various factors, it may change itself beyond recognition in hundreds of years.
Maybe Lin should take a nap and wait for them to evolve?
No, this time, Lin won't do it again...
This time, Lin plans to go to a faraway place and start a journey to an unexplored new continent. In other continents, Lin does not know what new species will be, everything is brand new! Instead of waiting for it to evolve into a new one as it is now.
Now that you've decided, let's start quickly.
Lin will also go to sleep, but she will leave some of her troops to sleep on the North Continent, and then wake them up after a certain period of time. It's really boring to stare at them and watch them slowly change.
Then the problem is the part of the troops that should be taken away... The troops can bring anything, but Lin still wants to take some 'things' to leave.
What to bring? For example, some creatures in the oxygen fortress, as well as some common reptiles in the twisted jungle, such as the spar lizards, the spar lizards are currently the largest number of reptiles, and their self-regulating body temperature is really advantageous. Most reptiles rely on sun exposure to raise their body temperature.
If you take them away, if Lin travels to another continent and finds that it is a desert, she can try to create an environment there.
Even if it's not a desert, Lin can build an environment, and then see what different forms the creatures isolated from the two places will evolve into.
This is very interesting, but to remove a lot of animals and plants, Lin needs a lot of huge floating objects, but it is much easier if you don't bring mature twisted trees, because the roots of twisted trees are too long, so you have to bring them You have to dig up a lot of dirt or something.
It's really easy if it's just creatures and a bunch of seeds, so let's decide, and get some ferns and moss over there.
Originally, I just wanted a pioneer to go, but now Lin decided to bring a lot of things, so she had to start preparing quickly. Lin started to build a temporary base in the jungle, and began to combine and construct a large number of air forces. 'Transporter' for flight.
These transporters are not responsible for transporting things. They are a huge gas bag themselves. They are only responsible for increasing buoyancy, pulling heavy objects, etc. If Mingshi can still be used now, it will be much easier.
But even if the moon does not leave, it is useless. The moon should always be in the sky above the northern continent, so Lin has never discovered the existence of the moon before. If it is too far away from the northern continent, the effect of Naruto will gradually decrease. , or even disappear completely.
Can't rely on Naruto, can only rely on floating units, and requires a large amount, Lin has to create a new lighter shell material structure to carry these large numbers of creatures.
To make these things, Lin still needs a lot of nutrients. Originally, there were no large creatures in the Twisted Jungle, but now it was the growing season of the vine ferns. Lin let a large number of predators start to harvest the vine ferns and convert them into a large amount of nutrients. Build troops.
In order to prevent any danger, Lin also needs some capable troops, as well as a large number of 'art creators', usually used to blast clouds or something.
At the same time, Lin also told the head worm about this. As soon as the head worm heard it, he immediately said that it also wanted to follow.
Because the head bug is very boring to stay here, but Lin feels that even if it is the same as before, it will want to keep up. It is quite adventurous, and it will try to experience all the interesting things.
In fact, Lin found that the main reason why the headworm was unhappy was because most of the dragonflies had disappeared, and it was difficult for it to eat roasted dragonflies or anything...
Although it doesn't matter if you bring the head worm, if you bring its clan, Lin needs to create a lot of troops. The number of head worm clans is very large, and it feels a little troublesome.
After Lin talked to the head worm, it immediately said that it could take only one 'queen' and leave the other ethnic groups to be managed by Muktu.
So, the head worm quickly found Muktu.
"I, Lin, will go to a distant place, Muktu, the troops, you will keep it, here, establish a new ethnic group."
"Maya, roll over, leave, spread the group, quite valuable."
Muktu seemed very supportive of this, so Lin planned to go with the head worm. It was actually very interesting to take it, and Lin could continue to conduct various researches on its thoughts.
The production team proceeded quickly. During this period, there were also selections of creatures. Lin brought all the creatures and some reptiles in the oxygen mask. In addition, Lin dug out three mature twisted trees, and a large one. Heap of seeds.
At the same time, Lin also brought some small home trees.
There are a lot of growing home trees in the ground now. They grow very slowly. I don't know how long it will take to grow into the huge ones in the underground world, and Lin found that they will continue to crush rocks with their roots during the growth process. Deep underground.
I don't know if we can get some of these strange plants to create an underground world? The Inca Swarm did record that they planted home trees. The formation of the underground world is inseparable from the Inca Swarm, but the records of those statues are really vague. Basically, they can only let Lin know that they have done this kind of thing. That's it.
Lynn intends to take away any possibility of forming an environment.
At this time, Lin also asked the pioneers to collect a lot of nutrients in some hot springs in the sea, because I don't know how long it will take, but to create such a large army, the action will definitely be very slow, and various nutrients on the seabed Lin can remove impurities , and then processed and combined into a soft thing that can be eaten by various organisms and absorbed by plants.
In the process of preparing all the things, the spring slowly passed, and the Naruto stones in the air were almost all gone. Lin found that they did gradually decrease in height, but more suddenly fell, which is very strange. But Lin has no way to go above the 'month', and there is no way to do any research.
The construction of the expedition troops will soon be completed, and Lin will use them to cross this sea and go to an unknown continent...
But which direction should we go in? (To be continued...)
