Chapter 12 Green Terminal
Facing the vast desert, and losing the 'guide' of the worm, Lin has completely lost her sense of direction.
But the worm has to be killed, otherwise it will keep secreting acid until it can melt the Leviathan.
But Lin didn't want to stay in this lake. It never liked small places, and the water here didn't know when it would run out, so everything would disappear in an instant.
The worm's destination is definitely not here. Lin doesn't think that such a big creature will live in this small lake that may disappear at any time. It should have a more ambitious goal.
Lin didn't know how the worm was positioned, because it didn't have anything like a magnet in its head. If it hadn't been there before, or had a strong perception ability, Lin found that the worm's perception ability was not that strong, so it must have gone. past memory.
But where to go? Just came by feeling.
Lin combined a special kind of tentacles on Leviathan's back, mainly composed of a sensitive olfactory system, which is used to smell those tiny water droplets in the air, so that she can know in which direction the nearest moisture will be.
Leviathan swayed his tentacles and walked around the worm, and Lynn felt the moisture in the air.
... there seems to be a lot of smell here.
Leviathan followed the smell and walked to the northwest. Suddenly, Lin felt like she had hit something under her feet. When she stretched out her eye tentacles, she realized that it was just the fragments of the scorpion spit out by the worm.
... a scorpion? Speaking of which, scorpions should not be desert creatures, but wandering in the desert in search of water and prey, right? These creatures should also have some positioning methods...
Maybe find something?
Lin rummaged through the debris pile of scorpions, but the desert scorpion was too damaged to find anything useful.
Hmm... do you still have to rely on yourself?
Leviathan looked at the last piece of scorpion carapace with his tentacles. Just when Lin wanted to throw it away, he suddenly found something stuck to the back of the piece.
Lin put the fragments on the sand and found that they were more than a dozen small white spheres, each of which was only three centimeters in diameter. These things were not melted by the worm's solution.
These are obviously desert scorpion eggs. Although they look fine, they are probably all dead.
Just as Lin was thinking about it, the shell of an egg cracked open, and a small scorpion that looked exactly like a large desert scorpion emerged from the inside.
Are you still alive? Lin was a little surprised, seeing that these egg shells were actually cracking open one after another, and a large group of small scorpions emerged from them.
After they were born, they did not run anywhere else, but climbed up Leviathan's legs, and all climbed onto Leviathan's body.
What does this do? Did you mistake the Leviathan for the big scorpion?
This is quite interesting. Maybe the big scorpion usually carries the little scorpion like this. Maybe these little scorpions will have some way to find the water source?
...It doesn't seem to be, they just lie on the Leviathan's carapace and do nothing, and Lin still has to find it by herself.
Waving the tentacles again, Lin felt the breath in the air.
As a hot desert wind blew, Lin finally smelled a scent, which was not water, but a plant-like smell.
Not sure what kind of plant it was, but in that direction... there was clearly life.
Then let's go, the worm shells here are kept as the base of this small lake, and the Leviathan goes to the direction of the smell to find a real place to live!
Thinking about it, Leviathan turned his body to the target, a crack opened in the carapace on both sides of its body, and two pairs of huge wings protruded from the crack.
This is a dragonfly-like membrane wing specially made by Lin for Leviathan. The wingspan can reach 8.6 meters. Each wing is equivalent to the length of Leviathan.
When stretched into the air, it will slowly harden and become giant wings that can drive Leviathan to fly!
Lin waved these two pairs of wings. Under the flapping of the giant wings, the dust filled the air, the wind gusted, and the little scorpions hugged together on Leviathan's back, as if they knew what would happen next.
However, nothing happened...
Lin's wing flapping posture is now very correct, exactly like a dragonfly, but she can't fly at all.
Lin didn't find it strange that the result was too heavy. Or are the wings too small? But Lin thinks it's big enough, and how big should it be? Wings that are too large can be quite a hindrance on land.
Lin now has words to describe weight, mainly 'kg' and 'ton'. Leviathan is about a ton now, a dragonfly may only be one kilogram, and a thousand kilograms is one ton. The largest flying creature that arrived was too heavy.
So how about trying it harder? Thinking about it, Lin opened the air vent at the Leviathan's tail and slammed out the compressed gas. At the same time, her legs quickly swayed and ran. With the flapping wings, the Leviathan rushed out like a fly.
This feels really good!
Leviathan was galloping across the desert, but despite being very fast, he couldn't escape the shackles of the ground. No matter how hard Lin flapped her wings, no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't get up.
Forget it, that's it, it's much faster than before, and it feels very relaxing.
Lin continued to move in the desert in this 'flying' way, which was many times faster than those worms that burrowed into the sand, and it also consumed much less physical strength than normal running.
The little scorpions on their backs were still lying there. Lin found that not only were they not thrown off, but they also started to crawl around on the carapace a little boldly. Their toes seemed to have strong barbs, which could prevent them from falling down. .
Lin didn't pay much attention to them, but continued to run faster. Under Lin's calculation, she could reach her destination before night.
All the scenery kept receding while Lin was running. With strong muscles and perfect nutrient supply, Lin couldn't feel tired at all. The farthest point of view.
arrive!
Lin had to sigh at her current speed. If she continued to stay in the worm, she didn't know how many days and nights it would take to arrive.
As the Leviathan approached, what Lin saw became bigger and clearer, and finally, a green line that spread for countless kilometers was formed.
The green plants are like thick tentacles reaching out to the sky. They are entangled and intertwined, extending upwards, exceeding the height of hundreds of meters, even larger than the pointed pillars of Jianzhulin. At their tops, there are A considerable number of small branches were separated, and the branches were covered with green leaves. These huge plants stood in front of Lin like a huge wall, occupying all her vision.
This area is called 'forest'. Although it seems that the word has been mentioned, Lin only now understands its meaning better, and these thick, tentacle-like twisted and intertwined plants seem to have the term 'trees'.
'Trees? It seems that these are creatures, not just stones covered with a layer of moss like the Spire Forest. Those moss are still Aztec species, and this area is very large, just by visual inspection, it should be far more than the Spire Forest.
Lin planned to name these trees "Twisted Trees" because they were coiled together like tentacles, and Lin didn't know whether the two trees that were coiled together were one creature or two creatures.
The creatures here seem to be quite rich. Lin can hear all kinds of strange sounds coming from the forest. A large number of dragonflies fly around the top of the tree. Occasionally, a huge arthropod can be seen in a thick and twisted body. Climbing over the tree poles, the forest floor is also covered with a layer of hairy moss, in which many small arthropods are active.
Absorbing the clear oxygen wafting from the forest, Leviathan put away his wings and walked into the twisted giant trees. The hot feeling in the desert seemed to have completely disappeared, replaced by a cool feeling. The whole desert is really worth it.
In the woods, looking up, the fading light of the day shines in through the gaps between the leaves, shining like a starry sky in the dark night. They sway with the swing of the branches and leaves. Among these fine light spots, they gnawed at the moss on the surface, and some other small arthropods also tried to join, but they did not notice a dragonfly swooping down in the air at all, and the rapid attack easily captured a response A slower reptile, but when the dragonfly was grabbing its prey and flying over the tree canopy, it accidentally bumped into a layer of fine white mesh wire, and could not escape no matter how hard it struggled. At this time, an eight-legged The giant arthropod slowly approached it...
This place is full of vitality and abundant creatures. It is no longer the impoverished and narrow pinnacle forest sown by the Aztecs, but a new world.
Here, there will be a new beginning...
