Boom! The bomb in the Dense Fog Worm's body let out a dull roar. The Dense Fog Worm's abdomen suddenly swelled at this moment, and a large amount of blood spurted out from its mouth. Then, it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea where the corpses were piled up. Ke ♥ Si ♥ Lu & C Lu; Ke Lu
It was very simple. The insides of all living creatures were very fragile, except for sharks.
Lin had seen sharks spit out their own food pouches and then scrape them with their teeth to clean them. This was a very strange evolution, but it was not common.
Bechymos released a large number of collectors and had them drill into the mouths of the mist worms, where they began to recover all available nutrients.
Some collectors continued to study the corpses.
Most of the corpses here were relatively intact because there were very few single-celled organisms and almost no microorganisms. At the same time, the oxygen content of the seabed was quite low, which made it impossible for most organisms to survive here, even if they could filter out toxins.
The Fog Worm seemed to be able to store oxygen in its body, but the Fog Worm didn't eat corpses, only living ones. Lin had already noticed this when she came ashore. At the time, many corpses had been washed ashore by the tsunami, but the Fog Worm had instead preyed on the Brond scorpion and Lin's transporter.
Most importantly, there was almost no water flow here, which was why the corpses did not decompose.
Water provided nutrients for the ocean. If there was no water flow, the area would usually be relatively barren. Combining many reasons, the ocean was still not suitable for living.
Should he go deeper to take a look? Or did he go back?
The purpose of Bechymos' creation was not to explore, but to carry Lin's troops away in times of crisis. Therefore, it shouldn't have gone too far. But … Lin still wanted to take a look.
What has become of the original place?
Since he was already here. Let's go and take a look.
The collector slowly dissected the complete Mist Worm. After devouring it until only a huge empty shell was left, Bechymos recalled all the Collectors and once again set off towards the ocean. Lin's destination was the place where she used to live.
Eastern Continent.
The seabed appeared to be completely barren. Bechymos swam rapidly across the seabed. Everything in Linda's field of vision was a stretch of rocky land. Occasionally, there would be a few cracks on the rocky ground, probably left behind by the earthquake.
Bechymos swam rapidly on the desolate seabed. There were no living creatures here, only the skeletons of some creatures could be seen from time to time. Lynne remembered that she had come here riding on a tsunami. The Northern Continent was rather far from Lynne's original residence. The Leviathan seemed to have swam for more than half a year before arriving. Although Bechymos was a little faster, she didn't know how long it would take to reach there.
If it was in the air. Maybe sooner.
With that in mind, Lin decided to float Bechymos. After passing through the middle and upper layers of the ocean filled with pitch-black impurities, Bechymos floated to the surface of the ocean. Soon after, it began to replenish its gas and prepared to ascend to the sky.
The organs of Bechymos could directly filter the air to obtain floating gas. Although the process was relatively slow, the consumption was very little. It was possible that there would be no nutrient replenishment along the way.
The surface of the ocean at this location wasn't frozen, but the environment wasn't very good. At present, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds and the black ocean was swaying unsteadily. The whole place presented a strange scenery. Bechymos sped up its absorption of the air and slowly floated to the sky.
Just as Lynne was about to start flying forward, an extremely dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky with a boom. An overwhelming snowstorm fell from the sky. Together with the black ocean, the whole world instantly turned into black and white.
It was truly a rare sight to see.
Against the snowstorm, Bechymos continued to ascend to the sky. When it reached a height of over a hundred meters, Bechymos began to accelerate. But this time, it flew along the direction of the wind, making it relatively easy to fly.
Lynne had created a type of unit called 'Snowbrusher', responsible for brushing off the accumulated snow on Bechymos' back. Otherwise, Bechymos would be pressed down by the snow and fall.
In this extremely harsh environment, Bechymos would have to undertake a long journey. At this time, Lynne once again turned her attention to Leviathan at the peak of the mountain, as well as the base there.
The sky above the mountain was similarly covered in heavy snow. Thunder rumbled in the sky. The warm pools at the foot of the mountain were filled with creatures. Apart from sawflies and ash bugs, there were also some salamanders, reptiles, cockroaches and so on. Lynne had found a new term to describe these warm pools: 'hot springs'.
Hot springs were usually small pools of water with a diameter of five to seven meters and a depth of about one meter. However, there were also some that were more than ten meters deep. The sawflies would usually fold their wings and stay in the larger hot springs. They seemed to be in deep slumber here, ignoring the small creatures around them.
Lynne created some tentacles with eyeballs and stuck them into the ground around the hot springs to observe. At present, Lynne saw dozens of black salamanders gathered in one of the hot springs. These salamanders were rather ferocious towards outsiders. They would absolutely not allow any other creatures to enter the hot springs. Otherwise, they would besiege and kill even opponents larger than themselves.
These extremely xenophobic black salamanders were Lynne's test targets.
A rather large Flyer was flying above the hot springs with a Brain Reader in its arms. Lynne noticed that a salamander had climbed out of the hot springs and walked to a place a little further away to excrete.
This was a good idea. It knew not to pollute the hot springs, but this made it Lynne's target.
The Flyer quickly approached the salamander and threw the Brain Reader on its head.
This new type of Brain Reader still looked the same as before. It looked like a jellyfish, but there were many suction cups under its body. It covered the salamander's head. The salamander immediately tried to shake it off, but it was stuck and could not shake it off.
The black salamander's skin was rather thin. It was the thinnest creature Lynne had ever seen. The Brain Reader could rapidly pierce its countless tiny tentacles into the salamander's skin, find its nerves and sever them all.
If it was a shelled arthropod or a thick-skinned reptile, it would not be easy to do so. However, it was very simple for a salamander.
This action was quite fast and harmless. The salamander that was shaking its head suddenly stopped moving. At this time, the Brain Reader sent a signal to the salamander through the electrical organ in its body. The salamander's legs slowly moved.
Very good, it was a success. Now, after a period of practice, Lynne could use electrical signals to control the limbs of other creatures.
Now, Lynne controlled the salamander to crawl to the hot springs where it was originally and mixed into the group of salamanders.
The other salamanders did not respond. It seemed that this tactic was quite successful. These salamanders were quite xenophobic.
After this method was successful, Lynne could control some social creatures and mix into their group for research.
Just as Lynne was imagining this, a salamander suddenly approached. It opened its mouth and bit the Brain Reader on the salamander's head that Lynne was controlling.
Was I discovered?
Lynne immediately controlled the salamander to dodge, but the salamander pounced again.
It seemed that it was not discovered. It just wanted to eat the Brain Reader … It seemed that next time, she would have to be a better hidden Brain Reader.
Lynne was about to control the salamander to leave the hot springs, but found that it was surrounded by a circle of salamanders …
Ah, this Brain Reader was wasted.
Just as Lynne was thinking this, the hot springs suddenly lit up with an extremely bright light. What followed was a loud roar. Lynne instantly lost contact with the Brain Reader.
What happened?
The observation tentacles beside the hot springs pulled out from the ground and slowly moved to the side of the hot springs. Lynne found that the hot springs were almost gone. In the middle of the hot springs was a circle of charred salamanders … Mobile users, please go here to read.)
