Chapter 53 Life Under the Ashes

Isle of Ashes. Icex-on:Fire!Chinese

Lin called this island that, and after Leviathan was swept away by the storm, Lin arrived at such an island where ashes would spew.

It appears to be a volcano, but it's not like the usual volcanoes, a cavern that spews ash intermittently and fills with a lot of dust.

It seems to be caused by some violent activity going on underground, and now Leviathan is exploring this place.

The jet of ashes is only a few times a day and night for a pom-pom. Lin believes that such a small amount of jet dust is not the reason for the accumulation of dust outside.

And the dust outside seemed to be a lot thicker than before, and now it's starting to get thinner under the influence of the storm.

The main reason why Lin came to this cave was not to find out where the dust came from, but because Lin discovered that the dust contained a lot of absorbable substances, and the temperature here was not very high.

That said, there may also be creatures here.

There are smooth rocks around here. Around the rock wall, you can see many caves of different sizes. Most of them are no more than two meters in diameter. Leviathan cannot enter. The cave is very dark. Leviathan can only emit light. Only the light can see the surrounding environment, and just now, Leviathan has illuminated some relatively spacious caves below.

The diameter of this cave is more than ten meters, and it is located on a rock wall more than fifty meters below the cave. Leviathan floated into the entrance of the cave and searched for the surrounding environment.

The walls of the caves here are all white and very spacious, and there is a lot of water in it, each pool of water is very turbid, and Leviathan is close to a pool of water. And observed it... there are... a lot of creatures in it!

Most of these are fungi, but there are a few tiny multicellular organisms in motion.

Although it is very small, this is the first time I have seen a multicellular creature on the moon, and Lin feels a little excited.

This is an arthropod-like multicellular organism, but it has a strange structure inside. It has both a skeleton and a shell, and...

'Snapped'.

Just as Lin was observing, she suddenly heard a sound, and Leviathan immediately turned the light toward the place where the sound came from. Under the light, a pile of white sand appeared in Lin's field of vision...

Gravel? Although it doesn't look anything weird.

But Lin remembered a location without these gravels...

Just when Lin thought so, these sands suddenly moved, and all the sands instantly transformed into a creature that seemed to have many feet, and rushed over here!

Does the sand actually move? When Lin was a little surprised, Leviathan immediately stepped back, and discolored and hid in the darkness. And this pile of moving sand seems to be completely unaffected. It swoops on Leviathan and wraps Leviathan with sand all over it...

This creature... just unbelievable.

Leviathan observed the grains of sand on his body, which reminded Lin of those 'creatures' in the dream world. They were completely different from ordinary creatures, but creatures composed of other ingredients...

I didn't expect that I could actually encounter such a creature. And it's just above the moon!

It seemed to be trying to break the Leviathan's shell, but no matter what it did, it couldn't hurt the Leviathan. After a while, the gravel creature gave up, slid off the Leviathan, and gathered at the Together, they climbed to the side of the pool.

And just when it threw itself on Leviathan, Leviathan had already got some of its 'gravel' and started researching it.

I see. This is a creature like this... It is still different from what Lin thought at first. It is not a creature with a different structure. Lin thought it was a creature entirely composed of sand and stone, but it was not the case.

The gravel is actually a very regular shape, each about a millimeter in size. And it's square, with a hole on each side, and this gravel inhabits a creature.

This creature has a strange shape, like a square creature with multiple limbs. Its tentacles can stick out of every hole in the gravel, and the ends of the tentacles are thick and have a long circle with barbs. tines.

That means...they can be connected to each other.

In Leviathan's body, when Lynn tried to put two gravels together, they would grab each other's tentacles to form a 'connection' and cooperate with each other to crawl.

Based on this calculation, the same is true for the pile of sand that Lin saw. It was synthesized by countless small creatures of about one millimeter, living in square gravel. This is a kind of 'combined creature' that can change its form at will.

They only need to be pulled together to form 'legs' to move, form 'claws' to attack, and then they can be dispersed at any time, turning into a pile of gravel to slowly wriggle on the ground...

Their main feeding method is to rely on the tentacles with fangs on small sand grains, and they can tear the target bit by bit.

These gravel creatures also have an instant hardening ability, which may be hardened immediately when they form legs to bear weight, and they also need to cooperate with each other to form muscle-like activities to move.

They are multicellular organisms, and they are also composed of Lin's common structures, but it is quite amazing that they can evolve into such a shape.

However, Lin thinks that they can't do complex activities with these gravels alone. Now the pile of gravel is lying on the ground, but there is a higher protrusion among them. This should be the core of them, that is Where the 'brain' is, Lin can feel that there are subtle brain waves emanating there.

It turns out that there are such large creatures on the moon... Indeed, they can be protected from storms here. Although I don't know where the water here comes from, it is obviously living a good life, although it is not the most beautiful. Expect the kind of creatures, but these are also quite interesting.

Lin put the two gravel she caught before on the ground, they immediately combined, and then crawled into the big sand pile in the distance.

It is possible that the core brain uses brain waves to control these scattered gravels. They can also be regarded as a division of labor. Although they seem to feed on the fungi in the water, according to its previous aggressive behavior, this gravel The creature may be predatory, which means... there are creatures the size of Leviathan feeding it.

Hope to discover more interesting creatures...

With this thought, Leviathan flew into the depths of the cave.

However, Lin also feels that...you may encounter familiar creatures...(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 biggest motivation. Mobile users Please go to m. to read.)
