Chapter 108 The Will-O'-the-Wisp in the Ribs

"Goo..." The feeling of cold is eroding its body, and its thoughts are being tortured by hunger and thirst. Although it is no longer necessary to report these messages now, the cells in the whole body are still sending all kinds of painful messages to it all the time. In his mind, this could be called the 'final torture', in which he will slowly... die in agony.

That would indeed be the case if Leviathan hadn't appeared.

Lin found Susumi in a mud hole on the ground. When Lin found this little green figure, it was already dying, and it was still uttering the note: "Save..."...

Although most of its organs are close to shutting down, and its brain will stop working due to lack of nourishment, it is still alive, which is the most important thing. No matter how much damage a creature suffers, as long as it is not dead, Lin can make it It wakes up again.

Leviathan put Susumi on the ground, stretched out his tentacles, and injected it with the ingredient Lin named 'cell revitalization liquid', which could quickly make its body obtain nutrients and restore the vitality of various organs, and at the same time put in Some units help it deal with viruses and parasites, as well as many harmful bacteria.

When creatures are weak, these things always 'take advantage of', which feels like a good word.

Susumi's weakness was mainly due to hunger and thirst, and there seemed to be no other problems. There was no injury on his body, and there were no signs of biological attacks on him.

The very 'cold' feeling that Leviathan came in before was obviously caused by some creatures. Lin always thought that it was a special trick used by predators to confuse the prey so that they could attack, but Susumi looked fine. It does not seem to be the case.

What exactly is that feeling? There are also those strange pronunciation organs, which seem to be useless, why do trees grow? This is a wasteland where nutrients are scarce, and the organs they grow consume a lot of nutrients.

"Gah..." Su Sumi seemed to have a little consciousness at this moment. It slowly opened its eyes, then closed them again.

The recovery speed is not bad, and it will probably be up in a few thousand seconds. When treating Susumi, Lin also did some research on the crystal cone tortoise she met before. This kind of creature that can spray crystal cones is quite interesting...

'Tap, tap, tap...' Just as Lin was thinking, she suddenly heard some voices around Leviathan, and a large group of creatures surrounded Leviathan and Susumi.

Are these the crystalline scorpions we saw earlier? Leviathan looked at the creatures around him strangely, remembering that they were only wandering around, why did they come here? Or are there haunts here too?

These scorpions circled around Leviathan, looking like they wanted to get close but didn't dare.

It seems to be intimidated by Leviathan's size.

Lin is quite interested in them. These scorpions have completely left their aquatic life and maintain a large size. They should be carefully observed and studied. Leviathan cut off the nutrient delivery system, and this tentacle itself has nutrients stored. You can feed Susumi by yourself, and at the same time, Leviathan sprays out a large amount of viscous liquid with another tentacle, forming a hemisphere and covering Susumi on the ground.

This liquid hardens rapidly, forming a shell to keep Susumi from being attacked.

After finishing it, Leviathan slowly floated up, looking at the surrounding crystal scorpions, Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and rushed over!

The group of scorpions seemed taken aback. It scattered in all directions in an instant, but Leviathan still easily grabbed one. It was bound by Leviathan's tentacles, and at the same time, he began to put the micro units into it for research.

It turns out that there are some changes in the respiratory system of this scorpion. Some contractile organs have grown in its body, which can suck in a large amount of air from the outside, and then mix it with water in the body, and then get the water to the gills Breathe in this.

It feels quite complicated, although I have no lungs. But this system is quite like a lung.

"Bah..." When Lin tied up a scorpion for research, the scorpions that escaped nearby surrounded them. They kept waving their pincers and tail hooks, and made a strange sound, as if they were about to attack.

Are they trying to save it? Their habits seem to have changed after they landed. Lin remembered that the Blondu scorpions in the sea often fought with each other.

"Hey!" A scorpion on the right side of Leviathan suddenly rushed over, but it was sent flying by Leviathan's tentacles in an instant, and stopped after rolling on the ground for many times...

This is the so-called 'overreaching'.

However, the scorpions here are smarter. They flinched immediately after seeing their companions being beaten into the air. Lin saw a few of them running towards Susumi's location. They tried to use their pliers to open the shell that wrapped Susumi, but No matter how you knock it, there is no crack.

That is of course not something they can knock open. After Susumi recovers, he should take it away from here. Although the journey will continue, this place is not suitable for Susumi to explore. You should find an area rich in creatures, and This place is really weird, you need to investigate carefully.

After knocking a few times, the scorpions scattered when they couldn't knock them. They quickly ran into the jungle and disappeared. Leviathan also let go of the scorpion he had caught before, and they all ran away After that, Leviathan continued to fly to Susumi and waited for it to recover.

"what--!"

Suddenly, Leviathan heard a scream from the surrounding crystal bushes

Strange, Leviathan searched for some trees here, and I remember that they only recorded Susumi's weak voice. Speaking of which, those scorpions also called just now, but no trees recorded it?

That is... what?

While Lin was thinking about it, she realized that those scorpions had come back again, and they were carrying some strange things, which looked like... Ribs of creatures.

"Ah—" Another voice sounded at this time, and Lin could hear it very clearly, it was from the ribs on the back of the scorpion!

Why do bones bark? This is an interesting question... Leviathan slowly floated up, and when it was about to charge towards the scorpions again, it suddenly found that those ribs moved.

This thing can not only scream but also move? Lynn noticed that the front half of the ribs was lifted up, and at the same time each bone was wide open. At this time, Lynn found that the top of the middle 'spine' had a structure like a cockroach's mouth, and there were several growths on top of the mouth compound eyes.

It turned out to be an arthropod? It might be a centipede, but its shape looks too much like a rib, and even its color is very similar. Maybe it should be called 'rib centipede'.

Generally speaking, this form should be a kind of camouflage, it can pretend to be a dead biological rib, but why is it lying on the scorpion? And it will..."Ah——!!!"

The rib centipede uttered an extremely sharp cry again, and the rib centipedes carried by the other scorpions also cried out together. The sound instantly resounded throughout the forest, but Leviathan remained indifferent.

Ordinary creatures can't stand this kind of sound. After all, most animals have very well-developed hearing. When they hear this kind of sound, they will feel restless because of the continuous reception of signals in their brains. Although Leviathan has a well-developed hearing, he can totally fine.

The rib centipedes yelled for a while, and after finding that Leviathan was motionless, they seemed to start using a new trick. Several centipedes stood up and began waving their rib-like arthropods continuously.

Are they dancing? At this time, Lin suddenly smelled a scent, and saw a blue-green flame suddenly ignited between the four forelimbs of a rib centipede.

……flame?

The rib centipede opened its joints, and the fire floated towards Leviathan.

... a flame that burns in the air and floats? Although the speed is relatively slow, it is indeed floating.

This feeling is really amazing... Can the flame still do it like this? Now Lin preliminarily judged that the rib centipede might have sprayed out some extremely light flammable substances, and then used the wind to blow this strangely colored flame.

But is there really such a thing? Why doesn't it spread out in the air? Why can it continue to burn for so long?

The flame slowly approached Leviathan, and Leviathan stretched out his tentacles slowly towards the flame, trying to touch it to check the temperature, but it went out before touching it.

It doesn't seem like it's been burning for a long time... But it's hard to confirm whether it's really a fire. When Leviathan stretched out his tentacles, he didn't seem to feel any temperature change.

However, the 'cold' feeling before has always affected Leviathan's perception, so the current feeling may not be accurate.

But at this time, all the surrounding rib centipedes created a ball of this kind of flame, and these flames slowly floated towards Leviathan.

Because the speed of the fire is not fast, Leviathan can easily fly up and dodge, and then it aimed at one of the rib centipedes, Lin decided to find out what the fire was about.

The rib centipede rides on the back of the scorpion, and Lin is not sure whether they have a symbiotic relationship or something else. Leviathan suddenly accelerated, stretched out his tentacles and rushed towards one of the scorpions carrying the centipede!

At the moment Leviathan rushed over, the rib centipede on the scorpion's back suddenly spread out its jointed limbs, ejecting a flame and hitting Leviathan's head armor head-on! But this didn't stop Leviathan's advance at all, and a large number of tentacles instantly bound the scorpion.

...just scorpions? What about centipedes? The eyeballs on Leviathan's back saw that the centipede actually jumped into the sky, it landed on the ground on one side, and then quickly swung its rib-like limbs to escape into the jungle.

'Boom! ’ Leviathan fired a cannon at the centipede, and the rib centipede immediately hid behind a tree. The moment the bomb hit the tree, it rushed out again and ran deep into the jungle.

Running so fast, why are you still riding on the back of the scorpion?

The same is true for other centipedes and scorpions around, they quickly scattered and escaped, will they carry some strange bugs again this time?

Or... would they flee back to their nests? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qn) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m.qn to read.)
