Chapter 98: Chapter 98
Each of these insects was only about two centimeters long, but there were many of them. They were obviously a type of Inca insect. They were slender and had a sharp needle-like object on their tails. It seemed that they had no intention of letting the Leviathan go.
Bang!
Before the flying insects could reach them, Lin had already fired an explosive grenade at them. Countless flying insects instantly fell to the ground under the impact of the explosion and the corrosive liquid. Almost all of the insects' bodies had been corroded and festered, their original appearance was unrecognizable.
However, the unaffected insects continued to charge forward fearlessly. They tried to surround the Leviathan. Lin noticed that a small insect had approached the Leviathan's wing and pricked it with its tail.
At that moment, Lin felt that the insect had injected something into the Leviathan's wing with its needle. As Lin had small eyeballs swimming in her blood vessels, she quickly saw what it was.
It was a round object. It suddenly split open, and a white insect with sharp fangs crawled out and began to gnaw at the cells around Lin.
So, it was an egg? It seemed that the insect's method of attack was to lay eggs in the opponent's body. It was a unique feeling.
Now, a large number of flying insects were surrounding them. The Leviathan flapped its wings, creating a strong airflow that blew them away. Lin immediately flew to a higher altitude, and all the little flying insects chased after her again.
The Leviathan was much faster than the insects. After flying for a while, Lin could no longer see their shadows. It was easy to shake them off.
As for the insect in the Leviathan's wing, it had long been sealed by Lin.
Lin's immune system was different from that of other creatures. Most creatures would use their immune cells to surround and kill the invading enemy. If they couldn't defeat the invading enemy, they would be doomed. However, Lin's immune system was to transport the chitosan to the target location through her blood vessels. Then, the cells around the invader would begin to secrete the chitosan, forming a hard ball to seal the invader inside.
As for how to deal with the hard ball, it was up to her. She could expel it out of the body or dissolve it.
Lin used the same method to deal with the virus. Before the virus could divide, she would seal the infected cells with chitosan.
Because the virus had to enter the cells to reproduce, it would never be able to reproduce in Lin's body.
This immune system was very efficient, so Lin's insects did not have any parasites or viruses in their bodies. These organisms looked very simple and small, but they could cause incalculable damage to multicellular organisms.
What should he do now?
Although Lin wanted to continue her research on the Incan insects, she couldn't seem to get close to them. Since that was the case, she decided to continue her search for the Skyjellyfish, but she still had to continue her research.
Lin created a new type of unit called the 'Infiltrator'. Not only could this unit change color, it could also hide its scent, and most importantly, it could transform.
This was created by Lin according to her memories of a creature called a slime … no, a slime.
The infiltrator itself was made up of cells, and each cell was protected by a kind of colloid to prevent leakage. When the cells were combined, they could connect the colloid together. Because it did not have a fixed structure or organ, it could change into any shape and pass through any gap. It did not matter even if it was cut into pieces. However, it did not have any offensive power and was only used for research.
Lin tossed an Infiltrator down from the sky. When the Infiltrator was first created, it was a small sphere with a diameter of 10 cm, but when it transformed, it no longer had a fixed size.
The Infiltrator fell from the sky into the pool of water in the giant pit below. In an instant, it became transparent and used a small eyeball to observe its surroundings.
The water was still filled with worms and dragonfly larvae, so this Infiltrator was in charge of observing the water. Leviathan tossed down another two Infiltrators, and they landed right next to a staircase. Additionally, Lin also released a few dozen Flyers that could change color. These Flyers would be able to observe and record the movements of the Inca insect swarm.
The Flyers were only used to observe the changes in the giant pit, while the two Infiltrators were sent to observe the interior of the cave. Of course, these two were only the preliminary investigation, and when Lin returned, they would be done.
At that time, Lin would most likely bring a large number of units here for research, but for now, Lin had other things to do.
Because of the rain and the giant pit, Leviathan had wasted a lot of time, so it needed to fly towards the ocean again to continue its search for the Skyjellyfish.
Spreading its wings, Leviathan welcomed the hot wind of the desert and continued its journey.
Not long after Leviathan left, the Flyers and Infiltrators in the giant pit observed the movements of the Incan insects. Their units once again surged out of the hole and dragged all the dragonflies back into the cave.
Lin's two Infiltrators also entered one of the staircase caves. It was almost completely dark inside, which was very troublesome. It wasn't that the Infiltrators couldn't emit light, but if they did, they would definitely be discovered. So, Lin ordered them to move deeper into the cave to see if there was anything that could emit light.
In the next few days, Lin noticed that the Black Wasps were the most common unit of the Incan insects. They were responsible for transporting food and cleaning up the sand in the pit. They were probably similar to 'engineers'. They were able to secrete a sticky substance that could bind the sand into a ball and then move it out of the pit. Lin didn't see any other Incan insects appear. Occasionally, she would see the one with the large eyeball come out, but it would observe its surroundings for a while before running back inside.
On the seventh day, Lin saw the same Incan insects that spat silk to Leviathan reappear. As soon as they came out of the hole, they spat out a large amount of silk. The silk seemed different from before, it didn't seem sticky. The Black Wasps then combined the silk together and weaved a large amount of silk into a large net.
The Incan insects threw the net into the water, then left it there for a while before dragging it out. They used this method to catch a large number of worms and dragonfly larvae. Why did they only catch them now? Probably because the larvae had only just grown.
However, this technique was quite amazing. They actually thought of using the rain, the giant pit, and the dragonflies in this way?
This level of intelligence was quite impressive.
How did they evolve? Lin didn't find it strange that they worked together. This was because there were many types of single-celled organisms that also worked together. Only then could they evolve into multi-celled organisms.
Therefore, it wasn't strange for multi-celled organisms to work together like single-celled organisms. However, this situation was quite rare. Most multi-celled organisms only gathered together. Only a few higher-leveled organisms would evolve into different individuals to work together.
What Lin cared about was their intelligence. Lin didn't think that they were the same type of organism as herself. Judging from how they could summon their companions through sound, these organisms couldn't communicate with each other over an infinite distance. They should have brains.
So … what made them have this kind of intelligence?
This was what Lin wanted to investigate. However, that would have to wait until she found the Incan Jellyfish.
Lin had never considered what she would do if she encountered another organism that was close to her intelligence. She still treated them the same way she treated other organisms.
Study them, learn their strengths …
After flying for several days and nights, Leviathan finally arrived at the ocean.
Lin now had a rough idea of the overall layout of the Northern Continent. To the south was the ocean, in the middle was the desert, and further north was the Twisted Jungle.
The size of the entire continent was still unknown. Leviathan didn't fly at full speed. Instead, it used a more leisurely gliding method. The place where Lin came ashore just happened to encounter the forest of sharp pillars. Now, Lin flew directly south from the giant pit. There was no forest of sharp pillars on this side of the beach, only a cliff made of rocks. Below that was the ocean.
Leviathan flew above the cliff. Lin saw many fish carcasses. Their bodies seemed to be uneaten by other organisms. Their flesh was still intact, but they were all dried up.
There were also many scorpions and trilobites' dried corpses. Looking from above, these corpses were scattered all over the cliff. This reminded Lin of the disaster.
It seemed that there was also a tsunami here that sent these fish and scorpions to land, but in the end, they died because there was no water.
The ocean was right next to them. How could there be no water? Even if it was warm water, they could still drink a little, right?
The answer was in the ocean …
The Leviathan flew down the cliff and saw a sea dyed black …
