Chapter 106 Crystallization of Screaming
Crystals are a wonderful thing. Ever since Lin used crystals to gain vision, she has always had such an idea.
There are quite a few types of crystals, some can make carapaces, some can absorb light energy, and a very small number of them can even allow creatures to gain vision. Some crystals are also related to the creature called "crystal fungus". For hundreds of millions of years, these fungi have nothing special In fact, most organisms grow crystalline carapaces and crystal bacteria have a certain relationship.
And now under Leviathan's body, a group of crystalline creatures appeared again. They seemed to be the size of a Blondu scorpion, and their body shape was exactly the same. They were about one meter long, and maybe two meters long including the hook tail. Covered in shiny carapace, even the tip of the tailhook is crystallized.
Lin had never seen this kind of creature before. These 'Crystal Scorpions' wandered among the crystal trees, as if they had no purpose. When Leviathan approached, they all raised their crystal pincers to threaten them.
Could it be that they are the evolution of Blondu scorpion? Lin is somewhat interested in them. This is the largest arthropod that can be seen so far. They should have some special breathing methods. The Jade Dragon's studio has not recorded these creatures, but Lin thinks Jade Dragon has been to this place, because the nearby They have records for other creatures.
As for now, let's find Susumi first... Where will Susumi be? After so many days and nights, it might be dead, so it would be difficult to find its body.
Leviathan flew into the crystalline forest. The wonder of this place is not only the crystalline creatures, but the other jungle floors are covered with dead leaves and many dwarf plants, but the ground here is full of everything. No, there are only rocks and some gravel, and the crystalline scorpions only hang around the edge of the woods. Didn't see it in the depths.
These trees just stand in this dry place. These crystallized trees are not very dense, and each tree is at least six meters away from the other tree. There is a feeling of 'incongruity'. Know what's going on in this area.
Leviathan works by controlling the gas content in the body. Slowly lowering the height, now it is only about a meter above the ground, and the surrounding crystalline trees block Leviathan's view.
At this time, Lin felt the same feeling as before, as if the surroundings had become colder, but Lin could judge that the temperature had not changed through the normal cell activity.
It's just that the sensory organs have received this 'cold' signal.
... very strange. This strange feeling echoed in the crystallized trees, and Lin felt as if she was being targeted by some creature.
right there!
Suddenly Leviathan turned around,
A explosive bomb was fired at a crystal tree next to it!
'boom! ’ Under the crackling sound, crystallized debris splashed everywhere, exposing the internal structure of the tree...but there was no other movement.
Is there any creature that can hide from Leviathan's sensory organs? Although it's true that it hasn't been updated for a long time, Lin did notice a voice coming from there just now.
Leviathan flew next to the blasted tree. Stretch out the tentacles, scrape the inner structure of some trees and swallow them in. The inside of these trees is no different from ordinary trees. It should not be made by them. There must be other creatures hidden here.
This 'cold' feeling can also affect the sense of smell, so it seems that other organs have to be used to detect it.
Do you use voice? No, there are some new ways. Lin has done a lot of research on electricity, and one of the discoveries is that it can be used to detect the environment.
Although there are very few actual discharge creatures, almost all of them have the ability to perceive the environment by electricity, including electric gnomes. Lin has been observing them. In addition to smell, they also use electricity to detect, so Jade Dragon often takes them For hunting, their ability to find prey is quite powerful.
The Leviathan extends a special tentacle, the end of which can expand. Then the discharge organs in the tentacles start to work, emitting energy from the ends, and using this to detect the surroundings.
……no response?
After the 'electrical detection tentacles' started to work, Lin didn't receive any signal at all...
Strange, is there a mistake? I thought I could receive a lot of images like echoes.
never mind. If this is the case, then use this one. Leviathan stretches out another tentacle and sticks it on the ground. The function of this tentacle is "subtle perception". Loud noises, sensing the movement of any creature.
Speaking of Mao Yu, Mao Yu appeared.
Before Lin put her tentacles on the ground, some small creatures ran out under the crystal tree in front of her. They were only three centimeters long, and the fluff all over their bodies exuded crystal-like brilliance...
This is the legendary crystallized hair jade! Leviathan flew over immediately, and the Maoyu immediately dispersed and ran behind the tree.
Lin found that they had bitten a hole in the tree and lived in it. They might feed on the sap. Anyway, it seems that there are not only these trees here, but if there are other creatures, the strange feeling before It's not that heavy anymore...
The word "weird" seems to be quite suitable for this situation.
Leviathan continued to advance into the depths of the crystalline forest, and soon Lin saw something protruding from the ground in front of him.
This is where the pompom died last time. There are many sharp cone-shaped protrusions on the ground, which look like protruding crystals, but they are actually a kind of trap, with dangerous creatures hidden inside.
Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and knocked hard on the protrusion, but nothing happened around...
……no response? Does this thing know that Leviathan is too big to eat, so it can't come out?
Leviathan wrapped around the cone with his tentacles and broke it off forcefully, but the thing hidden in the ground still didn't respond. Leviathan swallowed the thing and decomposed it.
It seemed nothing special, it was just a piece of crystallization, and then Leviathan released some earth-boring worms to search the ground, but they didn't find any creatures hidden in the ground, but they found the pompon that was not digested at that time. small ball.
That creature seems to have gone to another place. Maybe it should attach some adhesive structure to these small balls, or directly produce troops in it, but Lin still prefers to use Leviathan to come here to explore, and at the same time, it can Draw a map on the road.
Leviathan looked at the crystalline jungle in front of him, and seemed to have lost his target. Susumi was unlikely to find it. That wonderful 'cold' feeling was still coming, but he didn't know where it came from. .
Perhaps it would be better to let more troops come to explore. Lin also thought about it at first, but she thought that would be less interesting, so she didn't do that.
'Boom! '
Suddenly, Lin heard some kind of loud noise.
Leviathan immediately flew towards the direction of the sound, and after passing through a large jungle, what appeared in front of Leviathan was a huge creature.
This creature is about 20 meters long, its body is like a turtle, its whole body is covered with crystals, and there are several huge crystal cones growing on its back. A sharp blade-like structure grew on the lips...
It looks like a large turtle-like creature, but Lynn recognizes it...
Because there are records of this kind of creature in the studio of the emerald dragon, and at the same time, Lin also discovered some things about them when observing the emerald dragon. Just like many intelligent creatures on this continent, they also have their own objects of worship. That's... those giant pebbles.
They worship egg stones and live near egg stones, but for emerald dragons, they don't think this egg stone is formed of rocks, but think 'since it is an egg, it must be born of some kind of creature', However, they don't imagine out of thin air like the skeletal dragon, but draw a living creature that does exist, and think that it is an egg born by that creature...
And that creature is the 'Crystal Turtle' in front of Leviathan, which is exactly the same as the creature that gave birth to the egg in the painting.
Although this turtle is very big, it is much smaller than the egg stone. I don’t know why the emerald dragon thinks that the egg stone was born by it. Lin thinks that even the plague dragon can’t lay eggs that big, if it can. ...
Although this creature looks scary, it eats plants. The reason why this kind of big tortoise does not eat meat is that it is difficult for them to catch up with the prey. At this time, it is biting a crystal tree next to it, together with the leaves and crystals. The hardened twigs were crushed together and swallowed. Lin felt that this creature worshiped by the emerald dragon should have a decent name... just call it 'Crystal Cone Tortoise'.
Leviathan seemed to hear a special...scream as the tortoise crushed the crystalline tree.
scream? Why is there screaming? Does the tree scream?
The tortoise swallowed its mouth again, and this time Lin could hear it very clearly. When the tortoise's jaws crushed the branch, the tree made a sound of "Ah..."
The sound is very small, but it can still be heard clearly. It must be explored clearly.
The crystal cone tortoise didn't take it seriously, and continued to bite the trees, but when it saw Leviathan floating over, it turned its head and let out a strong growl, telling Leviathan not to approach.
Leviathan didn't care, and continued to approach slowly. After the tortoise found that the roaring threat was ineffective, it lowered its head and forelegs, pointed the crystal cone on its back at Leviathan, and took a defensive posture.
Lin just wanted it to pose like this, so that she could study the tree without hindrance...
'Boom! '
Suddenly Lin heard a loud noise, and saw the crystal cone on the tortoise's back burst out at an extremely fast speed, hitting Leviathan's head hard, the powerful impact made Leviathan retreat a lot, and the carapace There are also some cracks.
There is such a trick? Where the tortoise's carapace used to have a crystal cone, now there is only a hole that is emitting scorched smoke, and it seems to use some kind of pressure to eject the crystal cone.
In this case, this tortoise will also have to join Leviathan's research project. (To be continued.
