Chapter 35 The Land of Crystallization

The joy of victory...

Looking at the ice crystal monster sinking into the darkness, Lin's mind was filled with this wonderful feeling.

Lin finally knew now that she could only feel this way by defeating such a formidable opponent.

In this battle, Leviathan suffered great losses. All bite tentacles were killed by ultraviolet rays, and even himself was greatly injured. Only by winning in this situation can we feel happy and joyful.

Although she was happy, Lin hoped that the battle was not in vain, and hoped that the monster that looked like a living crystal could bring something interesting to it.

Leviathan took off the dead tentacles, and released the collectors to eat them, recycling the nutrients that were not left at all, and Lin would soon be able to grow new tentacles.

After recovering, Leviathan swam in the direction where the ice crystal monster sank.

Because this area has a thick layer of ice, even in the daytime, the light in the deep water is similar to the night, so Lin had to turn on a lantern to see her surroundings.

There is.

The dark seabed was a white sandy beach. The ice crystal monster lay quietly in a sand pit. The crystalline armor on its huge body was still shining, but its life was long gone.

The explosive ball that climbed into the wound probably exploded to the brain, so it died very fast, and Lin was looking forward to seeing it struggling.

Leviathan swam close to the ice monster's corpse, unleashing a multitude of micro-exploration eyeballs that burrowed through every crevice in the ice monster's corpse to observe the creature's mysteries.

During this time, Lynn slowly regenerated Leviathan's tentacles.

The internal organs of the ice crystal monster are very similar to most arthropods, but there are also many special places.

For example, its last two limbs have the ability to absorb water and spray water at the same time, and can move at high speed and perform collisions. In addition, Lin did not find its gills. How did this creature absorb oxygen?

The most important thing is its brain. The ice crystal monster's brain is the largest brain Lin has ever seen. Even in proportion, it is bigger than the brain of any living creature, even a flat fish can't compare to it.

Lin has already understood that the main function of a biological brain is to direct its own cells. To get rid of the part that directs its own cells, the remaining part can be used to think about various things for herself. Only this 'self-thinking' part The bigger it is, the smarter the creature will be.

That's why the ice crystal monster thought of that strange tactic to knock other creatures into the ice.

The shell of the ice crystal monster is also quite peculiar. Lin found that it is indeed not composed of any kind of shell material it knows, but a material similar to crystal. The ice crystal monster has a large number of very special skins, like a small ice crystal. gland cells that secrete these substances.

Lynn had seen such cells a long time ago...

That's right, this is... Crystal Fungus! A long time ago, in the single-cell era, Lin fought a war with them,

Why are they mixed in the body of the ice crystal monster? Or is the ice crystal monster just a combination of them? But then they should be on the cortex as basal cells, not as glandular cells...

Lin also found that the brain of the ice crystal monster is not connected to the crystal fungus. Are they not controlled by the brain? It's peculiar.

In addition, the hardness of this crystal shell is comparable to the hardest shell material that Lin can produce so far. Although it is still a little worse, it is much lighter, which is why the ice crystal monster is so flexible.

The ice crystal shell is divided into three layers. The outermost layer has the highest thickness and is transparent. The middle thickness is medium, but it is white. This layer is estimated to be used to block ultraviolet rays, while the innermost layer is very thin, almost the same as none. Above There are also many cracks and small holes, and those crystal bacteria are basically crowded in these positions.

Its arthropods are also formed of this crystalline shell, especially the curved blade structure of the forelimbs is quite sharp, which can easily scratch a crack on Leviathan's armor.

It feels like a very good shell, but it has a disadvantage. There is no anti-corrosion coating on it, so Lin's bombs can easily corrode it.

In general, this is a very intelligent creature that can move both on water and land, and this strange armor.

Next, let's start recycling. Lin wants to make a set of crystal armor, but the size of the ice crystal monster is too big, so Lin needs to increase the size of Leviathan first.

If Leviathan wants to increase its size, it must first dissolve its own shell from the inside. Lin found that other creatures first take off the shell of the whole body, and then discard the old shell and cover it with a new layer.

That method feels wasteful and time-consuming, but Lin's method can retain the shell material. Although the solution is consumed, the shell is much more difficult to obtain than the solution.

But either method will take a long time, so take your time.

While melting the carapace, Lin let Leviathan slowly grow in size, modify some structures in the body, and at the same time grow tentacles and release collectors to eat ice crystal monsters.

It's a slow and uninteresting process, but as the collectors nibble on the ice crystal monster's brain, Lynn finds something interesting.

Most of the ice crystal monster's brain cells died, but Lin found a small tentacle-like structure at the back of the brain, and this structure was not dead, and was still slowly wriggling.

There is a small black stone embedded in the end of this tentacle-like structure. Lin was just curious at first and didn't think about it too much, but when the collector dragged it out, she suddenly found that the tentacle end with the small stone would always be facing a direction, even if Lin twisted it over, it would twist back.

Why is this thing like this?

Lin doesn't know yet, but it will definitely go to the place it is facing, and maybe find the lair of the ice crystal monster or something.

Need to get things done now.

……………………

The day slowly passed, and the night followed. The Leviathan finally completed its transformation, but its appearance did not change much. The number of bite tentacles increased to ten, and its size was 200% larger than before, and it is now about the same length as the ice crystal monster. , but the width is far greater than the ice crystal monster, and the corpse has been completely decomposed and stored.

Lin tried to combine the ice crystal monster's carapace. It can also be swallowed into the body to dissolve, and then composed, but there is no such substance in ordinary food and common environment. If you want to get it, you must find more Organisms with these crystal shells, or directly find the origin of such crystals.

Maybe the crystals Lin had seen before could also be used to make crystal shells, but Lin never thought of it at that time.

Well, it's time to go and see... what exactly is that little rock pointing to?

Leviathan released some eyeballs and lanterns, and then swam in the target direction.

That is……

A flash of light appeared in front of the Leviathan.

crystallization?

In the dark waters, these are the only things that can respond to the light of the lantern, but this is also...

...too much?

Lin let the lanterns spread out. Wherever their rays of light reached, they were all covered with dense crystal fragments. Occasionally, one or two larger crystals would appear standing in them. These crystals were very similar to the ice crystal monster's carapace. It seems that this is indeed the lair of the ice crystal monster.

There are quite a few single-celled organisms on the crystal, and they are all crystal bacteria without exception.

There is no other food here. Are the crystal bacteria eating crystals?

It's peculiar...

In any case, there must be a base seed here, and if you collect the crystals here, you will be able to produce such a shining and powerful army.

At this time, Lin also noticed that the direction pointed by the small stone in the ice crystal monster's brain did not seem to have reached it. It pointed to a farther direction...
