Chapter 13 The War in the Deep Sea
Is this... a volcano?
The three arks swam slowly across the gray seabed, and many huge cracks could be seen on the seabed. The booming sound was accompanied by a large amount of smoke and dust emerging from the cracks.
This phenomenon seems to be more common in the sea. When the ark swims on it, it can feel the high temperature contained in the smoke and dust. These smoke and dust are full of debris and even some creatures.
The dragons on the ark saw this phenomenon for the first time. They were surprised by the smoke on the bottom of the sea and gathered on the edge of the ark to observe.
'boom! ' Lin suddenly heard a relatively violent sound, and a larger crack suddenly burst out on the seabed, and a large amount of smoke and dust spurted out from it.
The bottom of the sea here seems to be unstable, and Lin made the ark speed up and quickly freed the place.
Lin might have done more exploration in normal times, but for now, the creatures on this need to be transported to a safe place.
After leaving what could be a volcanic area, the Ark arrived at an area that was… apparently volcanic.
The terrain of the sea area here is rather peculiar. There are cone-shaped rocks of more than ten meters standing everywhere on the seabed. There are many cracks on the rocks, and a large amount of columnar smoke is also spewing from these cracks...
But here is different from before, there are many creatures moving in the water, and there are quite rich species of creatures around the smoke column, such as worms, sea urchins, trilobites and so on.
They all feed on the smoke in the water. The smoke contains a lot of fungi, and the fungi feed on the nutrients in the smoke. This phenomenon is relatively common, but there are some things that are very strange.
Some strangely colored creatures were swimming around the ark. They... were watching the ark.
These creatures are about ten centimeters long, and they are flashing various colors around the ark in great numbers. They are the creatures that Lin is more familiar with-the ancient squid.
It turns out that these ancient squid are distributed so far in the sea? Lin found that most of them were holding some stones or some sharp objects. Some ancient squids tried to use sharp objects to pierce the transparent shell on the back of the ark, as if they wanted to make a hole and get in.
Lin found that the ancient squid did seem to be developing. Compared with the small group before, this group is now an extremely large group. There may be more than 100,000 groups in the whole group. At the same time, they are constantly changing colors. This is a way for them to communicate with each other. language'. However, their color-changing ability is equivalent to 'text'.
But their combination of tools still seems to be very simple.
They just pick up some sharper things to use as 'weapons', and Lin thinks they are probably similar to wild skeleton dragons or white skeleton dragons, and won't use overly complicated things.
But this is also a matter of course. If she has not received any special 'teaching', Lin thinks that individual creatures will stay in this period for a long time. until they take a special turn.
"Gah, what is that?" "They seem to be holding spears and trying to poke us." "It's really strange." The dragons also noticed the group of ancient squid on the back of the ark, and they looked at the discoloration with curiosity. The creatures started a discussion.
Although Lin did not understand the 'language' of the ancient squid, they were clearly discussing the ark and the dragon on it. The husk material bounced off...
"Gu..." Suddenly, Lin heard a strange sound. The ancient squid surrounding the ark suddenly changed a bright color as if they were frightened, and then they swam away from the ark, and swam to the seabed, and got into the small holes distributed on the seabed...
Seems like they live under this seabed? Maybe they built a 'city' underground, and Lin immediately wanted to take a look at them.
But for now, let's look at what's ahead.
It wasn't some other phenomenon that made the ancient squid escape, but a... creature.
Those creatures appeared in the sea in front of the ark. They looked like a salamander-like creature. There were hundreds of them, each with a body length of more than five meters.
Lin asked the ark to slow down. Watching these salamanders swimming by with the Skeleton Dragon and Emerald Dragon, Lin found that there were many folds on the skin of these salamanders, and among these folds, a small creature was crawling on it—— Ancient squid.
Are they... carrying an ancient squid?
The salamanders swam around the ark, and they seemed curious about the ark. But they seem to have other things to do. When approaching the seabed, they saw a large number of ancient squid swimming out of the salamander and rushing down with various 'weapons'.
At the same time, a large number of ancient squid emerged from the small hole on the seabed. The ancient squid on both sides fought together like this, and the salamanders also joined the battle. Group of ancient squid.
It turns out that this is a war, have they reached the level of such a war? But are those salamanders a symbiotic species? And they don't seem to be able to distinguish their targets when they swallow, and sometimes swallow their own ancient squid, but most of the time they will change a special color to let the salamander identify itself.
And those ancient squids living on the seabed don't change this color, it seems that they don't know the language...
In addition to stabbing, their fighting method is to put sharp objects on their own water nozzles and spray them out. Although it looks very simple, the fight is quite crazy. It didn't take long for a large number of corpses to float in the sea. Even the group of five-meter-long salamanders couldn't finish it.
It turns out that they have already launched such a large-scale war against the same kind? Although it is not known what their purpose is, it may be a matter of snatch food and the like, the personality creatures at this stage are also relatively simple in their thinking.
Although the corpse dragons were sitting on the back of the ark and could not see the battle near the seabed, Lin could show them through the displayers. When the huge displayers spread out under the various rocky mountains, the skeleton dragons and the emerald dragons were startled. , but they were quickly drawn to the imagery inside...
This scene surprised them again, and the reason for this surprise was different from before.
Before, it was because of seeing wonderful new things, but this time it was because of seeing something very familiar.
The war of the ancient squids made these dragons think of themselves. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.
