Chapter 173 An Island with only Skeletons

This island seems to be a very strange island.

Lin first discovered tall mosses and 'leafworms' that lived in symbiosis with algae, and then discovered a 'explosive spike ball' that could prey.

The inside of this pointed ball is hollow, and there is a group of small bee-shaped creatures living there. Lin calls them 'rolling bees'. They will crawl inside the pointed ball and make the whole pointed ball roll.

As for the spiky ball, it is a kind of plant. There is a mechanism in its body that allows the thorns to pop out instantly, which can assassinate the target that is close to it. At the same time, the green thorns can also absorb light energy, and can be used to roll more stably and faster. Really A convenience that kills three birds with one stone.

They provide nutrients to kill prey or light energy to the bee colony inside, and this relationship feels really special.

After the predators bypassed the pile of thorn balls, they arrived at a vast plain with flat ground, basically a mixture of dry and cracked rocks and soil, completely different from the green ground covered with moss before. On the plain, occasionally a large tree stands up. The bark of this kind of tree is piled up one by one like scales. Here, Lin didn't see any animals, except for the bees that lived in symbiosis with the thorn balls and Apart from leafworms, Lin has not seen any other animals.

However, Lynn's predators found some caves on the ground on the plain, which are traces of large creature nests, and there are their footprints nearby, which should be some kind of large reptiles.

In fact, on the mossy green field, Lin can also find traces of many large creatures, some of which are relatively new, estimated to have flowed down more than a dozen days and nights ago.

But where did these creatures go? Did they all jump into the sea?

Lin didn't feel that there would be an earthquake or tsunami here. Why do creatures leave?

Lin let the predator continue to go deeper into the island, after crossing the dry plain. Predators see a swath of green...

A jungle!

The predator observed the trees close to the jungle, and Lin found that these plants were very similar to ferns. In short, they were a huge fern with a height of more than 20 meters. The bark was quite hard, not as fragile as ferns.

This jungle seems to be basically composed of this kind of plants, and there are a lot of moss growing on the ground.

Seems like a nice jungle, but the problem is...it's too quiet.

Although the oxygen level here is also very low, it is estimated that the large arthropods have died. But it shouldn't be so quiet, Lin didn't see any animals at all,

Whether it is a small arthropod or a reptile.

why?

There were no corpses, no traces, only some remaining nests, and fragments of egg shells. Some creatures will eat their own eggs because it is difficult to carry them away.

Almost all the animals seem to have left, why leave this nice jungle?

There is no earthquake here, and Lin asked the pioneers to check the seabed along the way, and there is no tsunami that is going to hit here...

The protozoa here is escaping from something... escaping from something Lin doesn't know.

Lin let the predators run through the entire jungle, which is so quiet compared to the Twisted Jungle. The only thing that can shake the auditory nerves of the predators is the sound of their own movement and the sound of the wind.

This jungle seems to be more than strange, it can be called 'weird', just like a normal animal has only lungs and skeleton, but no heart and internal organs. It still feels like running alive.

Although Lin doesn't know which is weirder, weird or weird...

The deeper the Predator goes into the jungle, the heavier this feeling becomes. Suddenly, a predator heard a voice in the forest...'Gada'.

Is that the sound of an echo egg?

The predators in the surrounding forest immediately gathered in the direction of the sound, and after passing through a large forest, a clearing appeared in front of Lin's eyes.

This clearing in the forest is only about 30 meters wide. The ground is covered with moss but no trees grow. The predators did not rush directly into the open space, but hid in the bushes to observe.

Lin didn't see the egg-laying stone, but a strange creature... a lizard.

So there are still animals here? This is also a creature that Lin has never seen before, but it looks very ordinary, very similar to the common lizards in the Twisted Forest. It is about two meters long and green all over. The strange thing is its behavior. Lin saw that this lizard was grabbing A small stone, hitting another stone, makes a sound like an echo egg.

Although the sound is similar, it is very small and cannot be transmitted as far as the Echo Egg, and why does it do this?

Lin let several predators come out of the forest, trying to get close to this strange lizard.

"Crack!"

As soon as the lizard saw Lin's predator, it immediately let out a scream. It backed up again and again, but it was unwilling to drop the stone in its claws.

Lin's predator didn't show any attacking appearance, but slowly approached it, but it was quite frightened, kept yelling and retreating, and finally it chose to throw away the stones and quickly fled into the jungle among.

Lin immediately asked a predator to chase after it. Some predators have the ability to change color and are not easy to be found, while the rest are studying its stone.

The Predator picked up the stone with its claws and tapped it. It didn't look like anything special... Why did it use this kind of stone to make the sound of an echo egg? But it may not be imitating the echo egg, it's just a coincidence that the sound resembles it...

And the most important question has not yet been resolved, why is the animal here... just this lizard? Why did it stay here when all the other animals escaped?

At this time, the predator following the lizard found that the lizard ran under a tree in the forest, and there was a big hole at the bottom of the tree that just let it drill into it.

The Predator is not easy to follow, but the Exploring Predator usually has some small units prepared, and it spits out a tiny eyeball and rolls into the lizard's burrow.

This is……

Lin saw a litter of seven small lizards in the lizard's lair, as well as another adult lizard, which seemed to be its spouse... and cubs?

Is that why it doesn't leave? Lin also thought that most creatures would probably eat their young if they couldn't take them away, which they don't seem to be.

Although the reason why it didn't leave was figured out, Lin wanted to know the reason why other animals left.

At this time, the lizard that escaped turned over in the nest, and saw that it turned over another stone similar to the one before, and it ran out of the nest with this stone.

The predator followed all the way, and Lin found that the lizard found another stone in another part of the jungle, and just like before, it knocked the two stones together...

'Gada'. (to be continued...)
