Chapter 15 Strange Crystals and Shallows

Is that... a dark bug?

Lin found that chasing the little arthropod was another dark worm, a little smaller than the one Lin just killed.

The little arthropod quickly ran to Lin's position, and led the dark worm chasing it to Lin's face.

The giant hammer of the aircraft carrier rose and fell instantly, and the dark worm was directly hit by Lin on the head, killing it with one hit.

The little arthropod escaped, but Lynn got more food.

This is really interesting.

Lin looked at the direction that the arthropod escaped, and suddenly thought, maybe I can use it to catch more dark bugs?

...Forget it, it seems difficult to actually operate.

But...I didn't expect that there would be so many surprises in the dark night.

Lin let the devourer start to decompose the dark worms. These creatures are real worms without hard shells. The devourer can easily tear off large pieces of cell structure on them. The two dark worms are quickly devoured. The nutrients previously consumed in the water flow, jellyfish and lantern making have been replenished, and there are many more.

After eating, Lin continued to move forward, and finally Lin found the guardian in a sand pit, and finally successfully converged.

So now, where to go?

Continue to catch dark bugs? Or……

Lin already has quite a lot of fat reserves, and it doesn't seem to be of great significance to search for food now. Maybe she should look around in this dark night, and there may be more interesting discoveries.

The easy victory over the Dark Worm made Lin become complacent, and the sense of crisis in her mind was replaced by curiosity and excitement. Even though the lantern only illuminated the range of two aircraft carriers, Lin still started this dark journey.

Lin found a random direction and started to move. The light of the lantern flickered in the darkness, and the tiny creatures were now hidden at the edge of the light. Some of them were single-celled, some were multicellular, but it was difficult to see.

Lin found that she had arrived in an unfamiliar area. There were no leafworms here, and there was no familiar scenery. Even the gravel under her body gradually became so huge that it could be called a 'stone'.

I've never been to this place before.

Lynn had walked out of the beach, where coarse rocks had replaced the gravel, and many single-celled organisms, as well as a small jellyfish, had gathered in the cracks of the rocks.

The little jellyfish was about the same size as the Devourer, and Lin could easily let the guards insert their limbs into the cracks to clamp them.

However, Lin just looked at it and then threw it away. Jellyfish are very uneconomical creatures. Although their bodies look bulging and big, they actually only have a few layers of thin skin, and they have to risk being stabbed by poisonous stingers. The danger of this is a creature that is totally not worth eating.

Lin continued to move forward, and it found that the rocks here were getting bigger and bigger, and there was even a row of very high boulders in front.

Lin swims past the boulder, and suddenly, its lantern illuminates a strange thing.

This object is about the size of an aircraft carrier, its surface is as transparent and bright as ice crystals, and there are many diamond-shaped protrusions.

This thing is not ice, because it is not cold to the touch, and then Lin knocked it, and found that its hardness is far greater than that of ice, which is probably something that can be described by the word 'crystal'.

Lynn was pretty sure it had seen something similar before.

long, long ago……

That's right... the observer.

The only single cell with vision, although Lin did not use it after she was able to synthesize the eyeball, it still remained in Lin's aircraft carrier, and there was an identical crystal in the observer's body.

The crystals in the observer's body are quite small, but if you look closely, you can see the similarities between the two.

It is this crystallization that allows the observer to gain vision.

But what's so special about this thing? Why allow the observer to have vision?

Lin swung the hammer again, hitting the crystal surface continuously, and some small debris scattered under the blow,

Lin asked the Devourer to catch the debris and bring it back to the aircraft carrier.

Lin asked the devourer to crush the debris into smaller pieces, small enough for a single cell to swallow. Lin planned to let the basal cells eat the debris, and then repeated the command at the time: "Get the light, see everything around you. ." Let's see if they can gain sight.

...it didn't work, the basic cells that devoured the crystals didn't respond at all.

Why?

Although it has been a long time, Lin still remembers the original situation, and it is still very clear.

It does exactly what it was supposed to do, but why doesn't it work? The only explanation is that although this crystal looks similar, it is actually not the same kind as the one swallowed by the observer.

Lin was a little disappointed, but it wasn't a big deal. It quickly ignored the matter and moved on around the crystal.

Lin found a lot of these crystals around. Most of them were standing in rocks and had different sizes, but it seemed that they were no different from the surrounding rocks, and they were not valued by nearby creatures.

At this time, the surrounding darkness has slowly faded, and the light of the lanterns is no longer obvious, which means that the day is coming.

The duration of the night seems to be slightly shorter than that of the day... Lin wrote down the duration of the night and day this time, and will be prepared for the next time.

As the surroundings became brighter, Lin could clearly feel that the water temperature was slowly starting to warm up. She put the lantern into the aircraft carrier and released the 'rearing circle' for cultivating green cells. At the same time, various creatures on the surrounding rocks They began to hide in the crevices of the rocks, and it seemed that they only acted and preyed in the dark.

Just then, some small creatures did the opposite, burrowing massively from the rock crevices and swimming in the brightened waters.

Lin found that these creatures were small but strange in appearance. They were shaped like leafworms, but they could swing their flat bodies to swim in the water.

Lin called them 'flatworms', and released the devourers to catch a few to eat. The structure of these creatures is very similar to that of dark worms, but above their esophagus, there is a connecting head and tail, which is hard and round. structure, I don't know what it is used for.

In addition, there is a crack on each side of their body, and the crack is filled with many soft tentacles. These tentacles can intercept the floating oxygen bubbles and absorb them. It seems to be very useful. Lin considered whether she wanted to get a similar one.

When the day completely came, the surrounding crystals seemed to absorb the light and began to become quite dazzling. I saw the flatworms swimming out of the stone crevices gathered to these crystals one after another, and stuck their flat bodies on the crystals.

what are they doing?

Lin swam over curiously, touched the surface of the crystals with her tentacles, and found that these crystals became very warm, and the flatworms were sticking to them. Is it to increase the temperature of the body?

Is it interesting?

Lin has experienced many icy relationships, and she is not afraid of the cold. She can move quickly even in extreme cold, but these flatworms should have stayed in the dark for a long time. Once warmed, they move fairly quickly.

They will attack Lin's cage, but not to eat Lin's cage, but to attack the green cells inside, but the flatworms don't have teeth in their mouths, and they can't bite through the transparent outer skin of the cage.

Lin immediately released a large number of devourers and started to hunt and kill those flatworms that were still attached to the crystals and whose bodies were not fully heated, and let some devourers guard the breeding circle from being attacked.

Flatworms are about the same size as Devourers, but they swim faster than Devourers when fully warmed, and they also have eyes, which Lyn must catch before they're fully heated.

After the hunt went on for a while, Lynn had eaten hundreds of flatworms, but there were still many around, and they were almost warmed up, and it seemed like it was getting harder to catch them.

Lin planned to dispatch the injectors, but these flatworms suddenly made a strange move. They swam quickly in one direction, as if they were escaping from something, and they all disappeared after a while.

The direction the flatworm fled was the direction Lin came from. When Lin was wondering, a strange pain suddenly came from her mind.

This feeling can be felt on the cortex of the aircraft carrier and the surrounding phagocytic cortex. Lin still remembers this feeling, which is very similar to the feeling of excessive temperature and cell damage.

The guardian has no feeling, there must be a hard-shell relationship.

This pain came from above, Lin looked up, and through the water, she saw the endless brilliance that belonged to the gas field.

It turned out that it was so bright on the water in the daytime... Unlike the starry sky at night, it was a pure shredded light, bright...it scared Lin.

……water surface?

When did the water surface get so close to the seabed?

It was only at this moment that Lin realized that the water surface was so close to the aircraft carrier, so the ultraviolet rays seemed to penetrate the water surface and hurt Lin's cortex.

However, in front of Lin, a huge boulder suddenly appeared blocking its way.

Is this... the boulder you encountered when you came? Lin didn't care at that time, but now these stones are actually higher than the water! ………………………………………………………………………………Thanks~Queen sm~I am a big one~reward~
