Chapter 166 The Island of Echoes

Lin doesn't have to arrive on the mainland to set up the environment, in fact, it can be in any place that is spacious enough, but the main reason is... they are more in the way.

Lin felt very troublesome with the huge sky cabin, and the creatures inside were heavy and many. Lin didn't feel troublesome at first, but now she feels more and more 'impatient', and some creatures inside began to become immune to the paralyzing venom Sex, began to wake up, and Lin had to get a new paralyzing poison to make it fall asleep. Of course, it could also cut its nerves, but in this way, the creature would be completely abolished...

This will only cause more and more trouble, so Lin plans to put them down in advance.

Of course, Lin won't throw them into the sea casually, so isn't this island just right? After putting down most of the creatures, just pick some interesting ones, such as ancient squid, and then continue to set off.

However, Lin still has to study the entire island completely.

The predators continued to search, just as Lin thought, this island is an island covered with 'green skin', and there are some eggs hidden in the rock and making noise.

Lin didn't see any creatures that lay eggs. This is normal. Most creatures lay their eggs somewhere and leave them alone, but it's strange that they make sounds. Are they communicating with each other?

To this end, it is necessary to investigate, the predator sent an egg back to Behemoth, and Behemoth released a disintegrating unit to decompose it and study the internal structure.

Lynn found a pair of hardened substances like shell matter inside the eggs when they rubbed together. It will make that gada sound, plus a vocal sac. It is used to make a high-pitched cry.

But the strange thing is not only here, there is actually no living thing in this egg, and the whole is quite strange. On the whole, it is a set of digestive organs. They digest the nutrients stored in the egg, and there are some muscles to control it to make sounds.

In other words, this is a creature that is constantly digesting itself and making sounds. It doesn't hatch anything, it only makes a sound, and then slowly digests its own nutrients and waits to die, but the nutrients in its body can last for a long time, about two years or more.

It's a very weird thing, it seems that the purpose of existence is to make a sound.

Apparently some kind of creature made them on purpose and put them here. But it's hard to guess what creature that was.

It's more likely to be a division of labor species, and they use this sound to... locate or do something special?

Lin asked the predators to suspend their exploration,

They all returned to Behemoth's place. I feel that this is not very efficient. Let's wait for the day to see, maybe the fog will disperse. This will allow you to better observe the environment of the entire island.

Yes, wait until morning...

The predators gathered below Behemoth, and Lin waited for the time to pass slowly...

When the darkness subsided and the sunlight of the day came down, the thick fog of the whole island remained. There is no plan to disperse, the sun's rays can only penetrate slightly. The environment in the entire island is shrouded in a layer of darkness, and the light inside is not as bright as under the starlight of the night.

But at least it's brighter than before, but then it's hard to tell how big the island is.

While waiting, Lin found that there would occasionally be a rattling sound on the island. It was not easy for Lin to guess when these eggs made sounds. Sometimes they made several sounds in a row, and sometimes they only made one sound for a long time, but they obviously made sounds together. Lin Now it can be confirmed that they should be some kind of positioning device. According to the distance they are placed, the order of arrangement, etc., they can instantly indicate the size and location of the island, as long as you stand by one of the eggs and listen to the sound, you can know Where are they standing on the island, but the question is to whom are they instructing?

Lin didn't see any other creatures, and they continued to make noises.

However, there is also a possibility that the creatures that made these eggs are all dead. After all, the oxygen reduction event happened not long ago, and the eggs are still placed here, making noises constantly. They have no brains and can't temporarily respond to what happened.

This is indeed more likely.

If the eggs are really spread all over the island, Lin can use it to confirm the size of the whole island, but Lin still intends to use the predator to explore better.

Lin let the predators spread out again, and began to probe the surrounding environment in this place that is not much brighter than night even in the daytime. This time, the predators searched for the location of each egg according to the sound of 'gada', so that It is much faster than the previous kind of spreading out and exploring.

At the same time, Lin let some of the bombers waiting outside the island fly into the fog. Lin wanted to try and see if she could disperse the dense fog. If the dense fog continued to cover the island, it would be a little... difficult to establish an environment.

In the next time, Lin released more predators to explore the island, and the head worm also asked to join, so Lin let it ride on the back of a predator and explore with other predators.

Based on the sound of the eggs, the predators quickly confirmed that there were a total of 1,001 eggs on the island, including the one taken by Lin, and they were placed in a regular position. There is a certain distance between each of the meters of rocks. Except for the only one rock, this one is a long stone about three meters high, less than half a meter wide, and it seems to have been knocked down by something. on the ground in the center of the island.

At the same time, when the predators searched for these eggs, they also detected the edges of these islands. The whole island is about 20 kilometers long and about 9 kilometers wide. The ground of the whole island is flat without any structure of hillsides. The edges are basically the same. Outside the green 'soil', Lin only saw some small worms less than 1 cm. They ate the ground, and the ground grew by the mist and the thin sunlight during the day.

Then there will be no creatures, those creatures that make eggs are either dead, or they are a kind of marine wandering creatures, they may come back to the island regularly and need eggs for sound positioning, as for the giant mosquito, it should just pass by Just this island.

This kind of place is really suitable for establishing an environment. If it has a mature environment in itself, it will be more difficult.

Lin will not destroy these eggs, but just build an environment on them. Lin wants to put down the creatures she is carrying, and it is very troublesome to carry them.

But at present, we have to disperse this fog first. If a huge storm is created, it should be able to easily sweep away this fog. As for what to use to disperse the fog? Of course...art!

'Gada'.

Just as Lin was preparing, suddenly the egg on the island made a sound again.

But this time there was a different feeling. Along with the sound of the egg, there was also a sound in the sea...

what is that?

The bombers waiting on the outskirts of the island saw countless creatures suddenly fly out of the sea. Lin noticed that each of these creatures was only thirty centimeters in size and had a pair of wings. Thousands of them rushed out of the sea, Fly to the island.

Not only in the direction of the bomber, the predators scattered all over the island saw a large number of such creatures pouring in from every direction of the island. All kinds of calls made the whole barren island become very lively in an instant.

Lin has never seen this kind of creature, but I can speculate that their ancestors look like a small fish, but the front and rear fins are very developed, and they can crawl on the ground, and can even beat at high speed. flight.

At this moment, a large number of 'flying fish' gathered on the island. They were not afraid of the predators on the island, but kept squeezing into the island...

Lynn thinks it might be some kind of breeding activity, but the fish don't look like they have anything to do with the eggs, and they're unlikely to build the rocks on which they lay the eggs, but they seem to be attracted by the sound of the eggs.

"roll!"

The head worm seemed to be very excited when it saw these fish. It rolled off the back of the predator and rolled towards the flying fish on the ground. The flying fish flew away and avoided it. After the head worm rolled away, they quickly flew back to the original place. position.

It took a long time for fish to evolve eggs that could survive on land after they evolved into salamanders, so Lynn wanted to see how they lay eggs on land.

Lin waited for about 7,200 seconds. These fish were just bunched together in large numbers. There seemed to be nothing else. The dense fog kept their gills moist so that they wouldn't be dried to death, but they didn't do anything, just lay on the ground Just on the ground.

But bombers flying over the island detected something strange in the thick fog...

Using their sound detection method, Lin found something wonderful moving in the thick fog, and the shape was as erratic as a cloud.

This is... 'Atmospheric Slime'!

Lin suddenly discovered that such creatures were floating everywhere in the fog over the island. They were definitely not there at first. Only after the fish appeared, did they mix into the fog...

Lin found that some slimes started to attack the fish below. They are very suitable for hiding in the thick fog. The fish can hardly perceive them. When they are close, these slimes seem to use a method of swallowing them instantly. Swallow some fish into your body and quickly fly high into the air.

These slimes are transparent, and if you look closely, you might be able to directly see how they digest these fish inside, which would be interesting.

Lin found that the number of fish they ate was only three at most, and they would vomit if they ate too much, probably because they were afraid of affecting their own weight.

Are these slimes the makers of eggs? Do they use their eggs to attract fish to prey?

But it's not quite like that either.

There are not many 'atmospheric slimes', they are more like passing by rather than deliberately waiting to catch fish.

It should be an egg made by another species, but what species is that? (To be continued...)
