Chapter 171 Weird Creature

This thing...is really weird.

The current earthquake has gradually stabilized. Lin's underground base has hardly encountered any problems. No matter whether it is near or far from the epicenter, it has not suffered any damage. This base can indeed perfectly resist the earthquake. earthquake,

If it weren't for this problem, it could really be called perfect.

On the wall of the room where the brain was located, and just above the brain, a bit of the carapace was cracked, not because of the earthquake, but because of the effect of the solution.

Although the carapace at Lin's base is highly resistant to pressure, it has no structure to protect the solution, and only has the general ability to resist corrosive substances in the soil. It is obvious that something deliberately dissolved part of the carapace, causing it to crack.

Moreover, after decomposing this solution, Lin found that it contained ingredients that had never been seen before, and the nearby underground organisms would not secrete this solution.

Some kind of new creature caused this, why would it come here during the earthquake and dissolve the carapace of the brain room?

Lin thought about a lot of answers. Generally speaking, before an earthquake, there are some worms living in the ground. All creatures will try to escape instead of staying here, and this creature doesn’t look like it can’t move. Lin used Some small units drilled through the cracks in the carapace and can find the traces left by this creature.

It is probably a small beetle-shaped creature with a body length of about 30 centimeters. Lin is now using the 'mud driller' to follow the traces it dug out in the soil to track it.

This creature can obviously still move slowly in the soil during an earthquake. It must be a very strange creature. Lin has recorded all the creatures around here for several years. Even the bacterial species in the soil. But no similar organisms have been found. Moreover, it secretes a large amount of solution to dissolve the room where the brain is located, which is somewhat incomprehensible.

The main reason is that there is no food in it, and it takes a lot of energy to secrete so much solution to penetrate the thick shell of the base, and it doesn't need to appear during an earthquake.

Obviously this creature did it on purpose, rather than just passing by and trying to get in. The biggest mystery is, why did it escape after melting through, instead of getting in?

What is all this about? Maybe finding this creature would solve the problem.

Muddrillers still follow its trail. This creature has a peculiar smell, which is very similar to the solution it secretes. This smell allows Lin to keep track of it.

This thing seems to be running very fast,

It wasn't long before Rongchuan and Lin dispatched troops to look for it, and Lin's mud driller was also very fast, but now they have tracked the smell in the mud for nearly a thousand seconds, and they haven't found it yet.

wait... there is...

The mud driller suddenly found a wonderful thing in front of him, it was a small yellow spherical object, and exuded the smell of solution, the mud driller quickly swallowed this thing...

Lin discovered that this thing was a secretory gland. Specially used for secreting solution.

Strange, why are secretory glands here? Could it be that the creature could still separate the secretory gland from the body and throw it in this place?

This is really amazing... Does it know that Lin is following it? So deliberately put down this gland and escape? This seems unlikely, right? Why does it know that Lin is tracking?

However, even if the gland is put down, it still has a scent on its body, and Lin can continue to track it...it can't escape.

While Lin's mud drill continued to move forward, Lin was also slowly doing post-earthquake recovery work. Although there are usually aftershocks after an earthquake, Lin knows that these aftershocks are very small and don't need to pay special attention to them at all.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that many trees in the jungle have been shaken to this side. In fact, being hit by falling things is the main reason for the death of creatures. It doesn't do any harm.

Some of the trees did not collapse, and many of them were species with strong earthquake resistance. Some of the dinosaurs who walked across the bridge have now started to go back.

The main reason is that many trees were knocked down by the earthquake, and many dinosaurs could now eat leaves and fruits that they could not eat before. After the earthquake, the creatures quickly flourished again.

Lin lowered all the green carpet trees that had been lifted into the air back to the ground, and continued to perform their previous functions. At the same time, Lin also wanted to check the looseness of the soil underground and so on.

Lin found that there are many reasons for earthquakes. Although they can be predicted every time, the time of prediction is different because of different reasons. Most of the time it is due to the cracking of underground rock formations, and occasionally there will be sudden earthquakes.

Therefore, it is necessary to be fully prepared. If the earthquake happened in the City of Emerald Dragons, they might be in trouble. The houses built by the group of Emerald Dragons are not very earthquake-resistant, probably because they have not experienced many earthquakes there. Relationship……

found it!

While Lin was dealing with these post-earthquake problems, the mud driller finally found the target—the creature that secreted the solution.

This thing looks like a beetle, and its size is about 30 centimeters long as Lin predicted, but it is not a real beetle.

In fact, Lin doesn't know what kind of creature it is. It has a streamlined carapace that covers the whole body like a beetle, but it doesn't have joints like a beetle. It stretches out the small limbs to move. It has no mouth at the head, but there is a hole at the tail that can be opened and closed. It is estimated that it uses this to release the solution, and it is estimated that it also uses this position to eat and eat at the same time. excretion……

Eating and excreting in the same place... that's only possible with fairly primitive creatures, but this thing has more advanced organs.

When Lin found this creature, it was already dead, and there were scars in its body, which seemed to be caused by forcibly getting out the gland in its body. In fact, this thing is also its gastric juice, and it will not survive sooner or later... …

What kind of creature is this thing? I have never seen it before, why did it pop up again during the earthquake? And run to the room where the brain dissolves...

Lin thought of a possibility, maybe this kind of creature is attracted by the brain?

Lin's dream brain is very large. Its current size is about 50 centimeters in diameter. When it is active, it will release some brain waves like other creatures.

Because it is relatively large, its brain waves are also stronger. Lin wonders if it is possible that this creature is attracted by brain waves. It has a sensory organ in its body that is very suitable for receiving such signals.

Lin wanted to try to see if she could attract another similar creature, so Lin specially created several units to release a larger amount of brainwaves. At the same time, Lin also created more mud drillers to patrol the nearby underground. See if you can find another one.

Lin has many ideas about this creature, but she is still unable to determine what it is. Is it a soldier of a division-type species? Or just ordinary wild species...

This can only be known by the group that discovers them...

The next step is to wait. It is not so easy to find things in the mud. Attraction is a more effective way.

While waiting, Lin can continue to read about the Emerald Dragons...

The team of Mukla and Flying Spear had already set off, both riding on the Wurm, while the other two hundred emerald dragon guards were gone.

When they walked out of the city, many emerald dragons were watching, and they were also discussing quietly among them. There was something about Susumi. The emerald dragons with the normal tier know it, and now many emerald dragons are whispering about it. Some emerald dragons think that Susumi has obtained Doluk's egg, and some guess whether they have encountered some problems ...

Looking at the situation here, Mukla is determined to find Susumi back.

But Flying Spear didn't know what he was thinking...

After they left, Lin's spies stayed in the city, observing the changes here, and Lin found that the emerald dragons of the nobles who had held the meeting before had already begun preparations, and they began to decorate themselves more 'gorgeously', and Started to win over some emerald dragons who supported me...

It seems that many emerald dragons have decided that Susumi is dead, and are planning to start fighting for the throne, but these nobles all have the same status, and they usually do the same things. really difficult.

They usually don't sleep in the house, but they try to decorate various things to compare with other nobles. Although they don't worry about food and drink, their lives are really quite boring.

Only a few emerald dragons have other hobbies, such as art and invention, but these emerald dragons are not good at fighting, and they cannot compete for the throne.

In fact, there are very few battle commanders of the Emerald Dragon, except for Mukla and the Flying Spear. However, it is also an Emerald Dragon who supports Susumi. It also believes that Susumi is still alive and has no intention of becoming the throne. .

That's it, time passed slowly, these noble people didn't do anything special, and the ordinary people were still busy. Although the rumors about Susumi were very powerful, nothing special happened in the whole city things.

After confirming that nothing would happen in the city, Lin felt that it was necessary to follow the search team to see if they could find Susumi. (To be continued..)
