4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
410 The Monster Attacking the Ship
When the skeletal dragons on the continent developed, this chubby thing that was rolling in the waves was not behind. The group of head worms had completely occupied the island. There are also criss-cross passages between the rocks and mountains, and various troops shuttle inside.
Despite occupying the island, the head-headed worms did not over-crowd the living space of the island ’s original creatures, and they reached a perfect balance.
"It's like rolling over a grass field without overwhelming any grass. This is an art." Head worms commented on their ethnic group in this way.
Speaking of which, the head bug slowly understood the thing of "art" from Lin.
After Lin created her dream, head worms also like to come in this place. Lin did not limit the entry time of head worms, because unexpectedly, head worms will not be very "addicted" here, perhaps because of its rich thinking ability Let it not be like the skeletal dragon. After a long time, it will be impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality. Some skeletal dragons will become a bit strange after a long time, so they cannot be allowed to come in for too long.
When the head bug comes in, it usually likes to roll in some soft places, and sometimes it will deliberately go here to talk to Lin to say something, for example, this is now the case.
Headworms have expanded to the peak on the island, but an isolated island can only hold a certain number of creatures. If you want to continue to develop the community, you need a larger area.
Brain worms have also thought about returning to the mainland, but it prefers the island and the sea views here.
In fact, Lin didn't want it to return to the mainland, otherwise there might be a conflict with the skeletal dragons, then there would be some troubles.
Fortunately, the island's restrictions are obviously not a problem for headworms. Headworms use the collected wood, stones, and some mucus to create huge ships.
The ship has a total length of more than 50 meters and can lay down a considerable number of arms, but the strength has not been tested, and the headworm has not been tested, but it is intended to be used directly.
While headworms are going out to sea, they also want to create a new headworm for their own ethnic group to use as a commander. It has already figured out its name and is called Amon.
In general, the headworm community will only produce a headworm every 30 years, but there are exceptions when the colony is too large but there is only one headworm.
However, before this, the head worm planned to try how its own ship was, so it took a bunch of troops to catch the ship, and it still used the previously used sails to advance on the sea.
However, the idea of headworms did not last long. Just a few hundred meters away from the island, the headworm ’s ship was attacked. It is said that it was hit by some giant creature from the sea, causing the bottom of the ship to leak. The entire hull was also connected one after another. The attack was smashed, and then the ship and a large number of troops sank into the sea.
Because the head worm is riding on the flying dragon, there is no danger, but the head worm still feels very ... angry!But it has no choice, because there are no aquatic arms, so it can only be done.
Here, Lin does not feel very strange. There are some very large marine life in the sea near this continent. Lin feels that they may not have been affected by the last disaster. Otherwise, they will hide in some way. In short, these huge monsters It's not difficult to destroy a headworm easily.
However, after this, the head worm built several ships and strengthened it more, but every time it went out to sea, it was almost attacked at that location. It is more suspicious here. It seems that some creatures deliberately ambush in The attack in the sea.
According to the head worm, every time its troops fell into the sea, there were no creatures to eat them, and many of them successfully swam back to the island, indicating that the creature attacking it was not for food.
This is even more suspicious.
So, Lin also wanted to see what exactly was attacking the headworm ship in the sea.
After waking up from the dream, Lin quickly sent a soldier, Behemoth, to the place where the headworm sank the ship to investigate, and the headworm also came out of the dream and mounted its dragon to meet at the destination.
"That is, the sinking point."
Behemoth and the flying dragon flew above the sea. The flying dragon was frightened when he first saw Behemoth, but he quickly calmed down under the word of the head worm. Now, the head worm is instructing Lynn The ship sank in the water, and there were some floating debris on the sea. The latest ship of the head was sunk the day and night.
In other words, the creature may not have left nearby ...
Thinking, Behemoth immediately dived under the sea water, and the moment Lin felt cold, Lin saw a behemoth under water.
It was a shark, just below Behemoth. Lynn remembered seeing this kind of shark. Last time in the river in the mainland, it was like this, then it seems that the river is actually swimming from the sea. of.
Although it is a behemoth, it is still much smaller than Behemoth. The sudden appearance of Behemoth scared the shark, and it quickly wobbled and disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea.
Behemoth did not pay attention to the sharks, but released a large number of flying people. This sea and air scouting class Lin has always liked it. They scattered in the water and searched for any creatures that might attack nearby.
And Behemoth stayed in place to see if something would be attacked ...
In this way, Lin had been waiting until the night, and the head worms had been riding the flying dragon around in the sky, but ... Lin had not waited for any attack.
And the detection of the pilots has also achieved great results. Speaking of which, the ocean here is really rich in creatures. There are a large number of benthic organisms on the seabed, like corals and the like, and there are huge amounts of water on the sea surface. Plankton.
At the same time, Lin also recorded many giant creatures. Generally speaking, a body length of more than ten meters can be considered as a giant. Except for one kind of shark, others are relatively "primitive" creatures. Creatures that may attack ships.
Oceanic horseshoe crab, a scorpion-like arthropod with a length of more than 10 meters, may weigh more than ten tons, and can use the tail's jet tube to charge.
Crazy worms, large worms with a length of more than 20 meters, like to cruise on the sea, devouring any fish and other creatures, even the giant shark will not let go ...
Sea-air jellyfish, a giant jellyfish with a length of more than 50 meters, Lin thinks that it may be the same kind of air jellyfish she has seen before. It can live in the sea or in the air and is a very interesting creature.
Obviously, the jellyfish is more likely to attack, but it usually eats plankton. This jellyfish likes to fly over the sea and uses its tentacles to capture a large number of small creatures on the sea surface. They should not try to attack the headworm ship.
In other words, did you find anything?That's not true. On the seabed under the sunken ship, a Lynn flier found something that had also been seen on the mainland ... split brain.
This wonderful thing is the same as the appearance of the brain-creating monsters on the mainland, surrounded by red crystals and containing a white thing.
Lin asked the pilot to decompose this crystal and found that the brain inside was dead and would not release brain waves. This split brain can live in water, so it will not be drowned. The main reason for the death is because Invaded by a worm.
The worm has drilled through small holes in its crystal surface and eaten a portion of its brain. This is a common parasitic sea worm that is also good at attacking shellfish.
However, after discovering this split brain, the suspicious parts have been increasing. Lin has always suspected that there are strange things left in the Att ethnic group. Maybe some of the left arms attacked the headworm, maybe it was a certain The arms affected the giant jellyfish nearby, letting it attack the headworm.
This arm may be deliberately hidden, and it is impossible to find it intentionally. To find this target, there is only one way ... it is to let it attack again.
Lin asked the head bug to ride back on the flying dragon, and then let Behemoth float to the surface of the sea. At this time, Behemoth released a class of soldiers called the "sheller". The sheller secreted a lot of mucus. The thin shell formed by the external body of Simmos made Behemoth look exactly like the ship's head. The size of Behemoth was also very similar.
Lin quickly finished the shell painting work in the night, and when the day came again, Behemoth waited so quietly on the sea ...
The sea looked quite quiet, as if nothing would happen ... But under the sea, Lin had already felt something moving.
The word stupid seems to be interesting, does it mean that what is moving is stupid?
However, this creature was a bit stupid. It didn't find out that it was a shell disguised by Behemoth. It was getting faster and faster in the sea, and then ... rushed out of the water!
The powerful impact instantly smashed the disguised film of Behemoth, and Lin also saw the true face of the offensive. This is ... Praying Mantis Shrimp?
This mantis shrimp is nearly ten meters long. It seems that Lynn has forgotten this creature. This creature has a very strong attack power. Even if the body is not very large, it may break the ship of the head worm.
And this body is big enough, but Lin did n’t find it when she probed before. Is it hidden somewhere?But Lin not only used eyes to detect, but also used many methods such as sound ...
Wait, where does this mantis Shrimp seem to have seen ... yeah!When Lin traced the brain of the plague fungus, there was such a crystal of the mantis shrimp guarding the brain ...
