Chapter 111 The Underground Group
These creatures... are communicating.
This is a large underground cave, the ground is covered with crystals, and there are many small creatures crawling around in it, but the most conspicuous thing inside is a group of scorpion-shaped creatures...
Lin called them 'standing scorpions', which are scorpions that stand and move around. They gather here in groups and use crystals to build nests. Besides them, there are many common crystallized Brundu scorpions living with them. Together, and some other creatures, some are like huge beetles, some are like caterpillars, the standing scorpion grabs a kind of caterpillar and squeezes them lightly, and uses the mucus they spit out to spit out pieces of flesh Crystals are glued on.
Those beetles scooped up the crystals with their heads, and then piled them together. They used the crystals to shape one side after another in the cave, like a structure of crystal walls. It seemed that they were very much like the division of labor of multiple organisms. Species, Lynn thought so when she first saw them, but there was a problem...
Lin often sees two scorpios communicating with each other there, and speaking a series of complex words.
If it is a division of labor creature, it will definitely not communicate like this, let alone speak complex language.
Perhaps they are not division-of-labor organisms? But how come there are so many types mixed together? Lin even saw a caterpillar-shaped creature with a large abdomen, which was probably used for food storage. Occasionally, a standing scorpion would pick up the things they spit out from its mouth. No matter how you look at a creature with this shape Is it a division of labor species...
However, this group of standing scorpions often communicate with each other. When building crystals, they occasionally have disputes due to disagreement.
then. Lin thought of a way. Can better confirm what species they are. Because Leviathan is too big and won't change color, it is difficult to enter, so Lin started to assemble a special 'arms' in Leviathan.
This unit Lin is made exactly like a standing scorpion, but it's just a shell. Lin doesn't know what's going on inside her, but she can move like a normal standing scorpion. Of course, it must include the ability to emit light.
During this period, Lin asked Susumi to come back first, after Lin brought a 'filter' to it. Susumi is almost like an aquatic creature, watching it swim happily around Leviathan, it seems that it is no problem to let it live directly in the water...
Because the internal structure is very simple, Lin made it very fast. After the internal shaping was completed, Leviathan's carapace slowly split, and a creature that was exactly the same as the standing scorpion slowly rose out of it... …
"Gah..." Susumi, who was chasing the little fish beside him, was surprised to see this "standing scorpion" rising from the Leviathan's back, just like a creature born from a cocoon.
After coming out completely, Lin tried to move the standing scorpion's body. Familiarize yourself with the action.
Although the creature's body shape is strange, it is quite easy to move around. This unit is called...'Spies' Well, this word is newly discovered by Lin, I think it's very interesting, and just when Lin was about to swim into the passage, Susumi suddenly grabbed the tail of this 'Standing Scorpion' .
Lin looked at Susumi, and it showed an emotion of wanting to go with it.
Lin thought about it for about half a second, then pulled Susumi and swam into the passage together with him...
Swimming through the passage, the 'spy' walked directly onto the shore, walking on the ground with the same movements as other standing scorpions, and Susumi followed behind. Lin thinks that there will be no problem with Susumi, if they are not of the division of labor type In terms of species...
This also happened to allow Susumi to see more things. If something really went wrong, Lin would have a way to let Susumi escape.
Lin walked towards a group of standing scorpions who were building crystals not far away, and those standing scorpions also saw Lin's 'spy'.
"Oh?" A standing scorpion came over. It looked up and down carefully at the 'spy' suspiciously. The carapace on the spy's body was glowing, and its shape was exactly the same as the real standing scorpion, so it didn't attack immediately, Susumi He quietly hid behind him without making any sound...
"Root dig!" The spy suddenly raised his forelegs and uttered a word. Lin didn't know what it meant, but when observing standing scorpions, he often found that they would say this word when they met each other. Although Lin hadn't seen standing scorpions The vocal sacs of scorpions, but perfectly imitate their distinctive voice.
The standing scorpion, who was inspecting the spies, immediately raised his forelegs and said, "Lutwa!" Afterwards, it went back to continue sticking crystals, without doubting Lin anymore...
These creatures are indeed not division-of-work species. How could this ‘spy’ who just put together the same appearance be able to communicate with them? It seems that they are a species with dú lì personality like the skeleton dragon, and the ability of this species to recognize the same kind is not very strong.
But how do they work with so many different types of creatures? Are they all symbiotic? Lin has never seen so many multicellular organisms living together.
The spy took Susumi to the depths of the cave, where standing scorpions were building crystals everywhere. They glued the crystals into the shape of walls, and then connected these walls to make a tunnel-like structure.
There are many crystalline tunnels in the wall at the end of the cave, which may lead to other caves. Lyn believes that this is a huge underground cave network system.
"Gu..." At this time, a huge beetle walked by the spy's side. This kind of beetle was two meters long and about one meter high. It used the small flat horns on its head to scoop up the crystals on the ground.
Because of this beetle and some other creatures, this makes the standing scorpion very much like a division of labor species, and these creatures seem to breathe with gills. From the transparent carapace of the beetle, it can be seen that there is a lot of water in the inner layer of the carapace , and there are gill-like structures on both sides of the head. Could it be that they were all aquatic creatures?
"Oh?" At this time, another Liscorpion approached Lin's spy. Most of the Liscorpions around were working, but there would always be one or two who would look at this side with doubts, but this Liscorpion didn't think the spy was strange, it Note the following behind the spy... Susumi.
"Macadi? Huh?" Li Scorpion uttered a bunch of words that Lin couldn't understand, but Lin could probably guess that it was asking: 'What is this thing? '
Lin said directly, "Susumi."
"Su Sumi?" The standing scorpion seemed to be stunned, and then Lin immediately left here with Su Sumi.
Lin turned the spy's body to see that the standing scorpion did not catch up. It seems that they have regarded the spy as their own kind, so it doesn't matter if the spy brings something in...
Then let's continue to look at what is going on with this group of creatures that seem to be a division of labor but not a division of labor. Lin thinks that this is just a construction site, and their main nest...maybe they can find something interesting. (to be continued...)
