Chapter 30 Salt, Sand, Maoyu

"Gah—"

Along with Tucker's cry, Lin felt that the pterosaur was sliding down a dark tunnel. .

A large amount of salt dust kept hitting the pterosaur's face. The tunnel was quite deep, and it wasn't until after sliding for hundreds of seconds that...'Poof! '

Lin felt the pterosaur hit the ground, and at the same time there was another sound, and Tucker seemed to fall too.

The smell of salt permeates this space...

It seems that this is an underground space. The pterosaur and Tucker fell from the collapsed salt flat together. It was completely dark here, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Ga——!!"

Tucker yelled to the top, as if he wanted the other skeletal dragons to hear it, but at the moment it yelled, there was a loud bang, bang, bang, and it stopped immediately.

It seems that the structure here is very fragile, and a slight vibration can also cause a strong collapse, but it may also be the sound from other places. Judging from the sound it made just now, it seems to be very big here.

The pterodactyl's wings glowed, illuminating its surroundings.

Tucker was startled when he saw the glow next to him, but when he saw that Lynn was glowing, he immediately became excited and made a loud "ohhh!" sound.

At the moment it made a sound, there was another sound of'Boom Boom Boom' around...it stopped immediately.

The surrounding environment is white, the ground is quite rough, covered with various small protrusions, it feels like the gravel has been solidified together, the top of the cave is more than ten meters high, covered with conical salt pillars facing downwards .

The whole cave seemed to be covered with white crystals. This place felt really beautiful, but Lin didn't see any opening of the cave. It seemed that after Lin and Tucker fell, the opening of the cave closed automatically?

This kind of thing should not happen, but this place should be quite deep, the leader and other ethnic groups don't know what happened, they should be fine.

But it might be difficult for Tucker to see them again.

Tucker stared at the roof of the cave for a while like Lynn. Its brain, which is more developed than ordinary creatures, is thinking. Presumably it also knows that the ethnic group should not be able to get down. When it fell just now, Tucker's water bag was cracked, and a lot of jerky was lost. Now it has to do The only thing is to find a way out of here quickly.

Then……

"Ga——!!!"

Tucker suddenly yelled again, and the entire cave roof trembled with his sound, especially those downward cone-shaped crystals were shaking constantly, as if they were about to fall down at any time.

"Stop!" Lin shouted immediately, does it really want to collapse this place?

Lin had taught them some brainworm vocabulary, although they couldn't learn it completely. But it also understands some of the meanings, and Tucker understands the most, and it immediately responded with an "Oh!"

'Crack...'

When it said 'oh', a pillar of salt broke from the roof of the cave and hit the ground between Lin and Tucker directly, turning into a pile of pieces with a bang.

Skeletal dragons like to respond to Lin's pterosaur with 'oh', maybe it's better not to talk to it...

Lin looked around. This area seems interesting, but Tucker should be sent up now.

Tucker is now finally beginning to understand that it is unlikely to ask its group to help, and he should find the route by himself, then he lay down on the ground and took out a stone to draw several marks on it, then smelled it, and then it Stand up and lift your forelegs to point south.

They like to use their paws to indicate directions and targets. This can be regarded as a kind of 'language'.

Tucker walked ahead, and Lynn followed it. It's interesting to observe their various skills. Although they have intelligence, they don't have the help of various arms like division-of-work creatures. What's the problem? They can only rely on their own individual cells and their own memory. Deal with all kinds of things.

Tucker and Lin walked slowly in the dark cave. There should be no living things here, and various strange shapes appeared on the 'salt walls' on both sides. It's hard to know exactly how it came to be here, maybe sea water washed in here?

Speaking of the seawater rushing in, in the canyon of the northern continent, the life of the ancient squid began to be difficult in the canyon. Ika leads the largest group of ancient squids there, but faced with resource and water problems, Ika tries to lead his group over the biggest difficulty, which is to go to the end of the canyon, where there is a passage back to the sea!

Will it succeed? I don't know yet, the headworm has been paying attention to them, but it is also relatively busy now, it has to teach the little dragon to breathe fire, and because the new army is born, it also needs to command them to hunt.

'Crack...'

Thinking of this, Lin suddenly heard some small voices.

Tucker obviously heard it too, and it stopped, drawing a sharp stone from its waist in a defensive posture.

Lin spread the light wider, and in the cave ahead, a huge black shadow appeared.

that is……

Lin bypassed Tucker and walked towards the shadow. Tucker quickly grabbed Lin's pterosaur behind him, and Lin pointed at the shadow with the pterosaur's head.

Under the light, the black figure revealed its real body, which was the shell of a giant tortoise, with its limbs and head bones beside it.

Seeing that it was empty, Tucker felt relieved. Lin and it walked to the shell of the giant tortoise. This thing is really big, and many skeletal dragons can be drilled in. This tortoise may be the same. It fell here from above.

Tucker knocked on the shell with a stone, and there was a loud noise in the shell, and a large group of white hairy jade ran out from under the turtle shell.

There is Maoyu here? Does that mean there will be water here?

Because the ground was very hard, Bai Maoyu, who was good at drilling holes, couldn't drill, so he could only run around. Lin grabbed a few with the pterosaur's long mouth and ate them... and then spit them out immediately.

This thing...is very salty.

There is a lot of salt in the fur of white-haired jade. They may do this on purpose so that other creatures cannot eat them.

But Tucker has a special method. He pinches a white hairy jade, then uses the tip of his claws to pierce a small wound on it, and then pulls out a small hollow plant root system from the skin and inserts it on the wound.

Like a mosquito, so that Tucker can suck its blood...

When Skeletal Dragon was about to set off, he brought two skin bags, one for water and the other for various small things. The Tucker who carried the things was not lost.

A small five-centimeter creature can't suck for long, and Tucker seems to want to give some to the pterosaur, so it grabs more white hairy jade, pours out the small things in the pouch, and then puts these Mao Yu stuffed everything into the pouch, and was about to fall hard to the ground.

"stop."

Lyn stopped it before it could do that.

Lin knew what it was going to do, it was going to explode these hairy jades, and wanted to use them to make more jerky... But no matter how many such creatures are, they can’t get enough of it, and it feels a bit wasteful to kill so many. The important thing is to find the water source.

Lin can now smell... the smell of water, not far from here.

"Put, find, water."

Tucker could understand the words Lin said, and then he released the group of jades, but he grabbed the last one, and then stuck a large pile of salt on the salt wall with the tip of his claws, and stretched into it. into Mao Yu's mouth.

Tucker let the Maoyu eat a lot of salt before releasing it, and Tucker immediately followed the fleeing Maoyu.

I see, is this the way to find water? Although Maoyu lives in a place where there is salt everywhere, it is inevitable that they will eat too much salt, so they must have a way to find water.

It seems that the skeleton dragon's sense of smell is not very strong, but they actually use this method to make up for their own shortcomings.

The Maoyu ran to the depths of the cave, and Lin and Tucker followed closely behind. At this time, the field of vision in front gradually became wider...

Suddenly, a spacious lake appeared in Lin and Tucker's field of vision.

The lake in this cave is crystal clear, reflecting a little bit of fluorescence under the light of the pterosaur. Around the lake, there are several shells and skulls of tortoises.

The Maoyu that escaped before jumped into the lake and swam to the depths. Seeing this, Tucker rushed over excitedly and jumped into the water.

How can there be such a lake here? Lin felt a little strange, and the remains of those giant tortoises around...

"Pfft!" A few seconds after Tucker jumped into the water, it ran out again, and spit out a lot of water from its mouth.

Seeing this, Lin walked to the lake and asked the pterosaur to drink some water to try.

Sure enough... the water is salty, and the salt content in it is much higher than that of sea water, but in the lake Lin can see many Mao Yu swimming around.

Lin stretched out the pterosaur's long mouth in an instant, bit a Maoyu swimming underwater, and swallowed it into the body for decomposition.

Speaking of which, Lin hasn't broken down this white hairy jade yet...

It turns out that this white hairy jade has a special organ in its body that can filter this extremely salty water, and their filtering ability even exceeds that of marine organisms.

It seems that they have been living here for a long time, and they have produced this structure.

But since they can filter, Lin can do it too.

Lin slowly changed some of the structures in her body to create a similar filtering structure. This structure is relatively easy to make, and she has also used this ability to filter the water in salt lakes before.

Tucker looked at Lin curiously. He didn't know what Lin was doing. Suddenly, Lin's pterosaur spread its wings and jumped into the water.

In the water, the pterosaur gulped down the salt water, and it continuously filtered the high-salinity water in its body to produce fresh water for storage.

wait... what is that?

The pterosaur swam to the bottom of the lake, where Lin saw a strange-shaped thing... This thing was about one meter long, and the whole thing seemed to be hardened like a stone. It looked like... a mushroom.

Could it be... a fossil of a fungus? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (an) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to an to read.)
