Bab 64: Chapter 64
This was Lin's' army '. Each of them was about ten centimeters long and their bodies were shaped like warheads. They could use the last pair of limbs to spray water while the second pair of limbs were flat to assist in movement. The first pair of limbs were mostly blade-shaped for attack, while some were nozzle-shaped for firing explosive projectiles.
This' army 'was made up of thousands of them. Before Lin went into hibernation, she had dug holes in some large crystals and started making them. However, she stopped after a certain number of them were made. Their main purpose was to explore this new world while hunting and decomposing interesting things.
The warhead shaped structures swam quickly in the water and swam towards a direction as fast as they could. The surface of the Land of Crystal had always been covered by a layer of ice, which had not changed even after so many years. In the cold and dark waters, the warhead's lantern found a large number of strange creatures floating around.
These creatures with round shells and tentacles on their heads were called 'ammonites'. They were very similar to arrowstones, but their conical shells were rolled up and they were only about half a meter in size. Ammonites had a relatively hard shell that was not suitable for warhead attacks. Furthermore, Lin did not think there was anything worth learning about ammonites … But interestingly, Lin did not know what ammonites evolved from. Perhaps they were some kind of snail? The eye's observation had no relevant information at all.
There were a lot of ammonites, and they were scattered all over the water. The warhead swam along this huge group of ammonites, and they soon left the darkness and came to an area illuminated by daylight.
This was originally the beach of the trapdoor, but these strange giant bugs that used their bodies as traps had completely disappeared a long time ago. Although Lin did not cover their 'traps' when she covered them with her green carpet, these monsters' bodies were ultimately not suitable for this place. In the eye's memory, the last trapdoor seemed to have been frozen to death by an icicle. Icicles with super high freezing power would occasionally appear, and Lin still could not explain how that happened.
Now, it was covered by a patch of green, but it was not Lin's green carpet …
This patch of green was like tentacles dancing on the seabed. They were the evolution of wild light-eating cells. They stuck to Lin's green carpet with their roots and multiplied in large numbers, completely covering the area that was originally covered by the green carpet.
Lin's green carpet had another setting: if it did not receive light for a long time, it would decompose and digest itself. Therefore, this area had been completely taken over by these evolved green cells called 'seaweeds'.
Lin, on the other hand, did not think much of it. After all, the nutrients obtained from eating the seaweed were much more efficient than the green carpet's slow synthesis of light energy. She could just cut off all the seaweed when the time came. However, the warheads were not in charge of that right now. Lin was more interested in the creatures in the seaweed swarm.
The warheads swam to the top of the kelp jungle. Lin noticed some huge creatures wandering among the kelp. They were about two meters in size. They wriggled their thick and streamlined bodies as they chased after the smaller creatures in the water.
'Shark', Lin's new term could be used to describe these creatures that evolved from flatfish. Flatfish were once rare and small in size, but now they had evolved into many different kinds of creatures.
This was a strange thing. Lin had always believed that similar creatures would only evolve into different appearances if they were separated by a large distance, but that didn't seem to be the case. Creatures from the same region could also grow into different appearances.
Why is that? Lin couldn't care less.
A shark was chasing after another fish in the kelp swarm. This fish was about half a meter long and had a pair of thick flippers on both sides of its body. That was why it was called a 'flesh-finned fish'. The flesh-finned fish that was being chased by the shark quickly rushed out of the kelp swarm and fled towards the surface.
The shark was a creature that evolved to hunt. It had a big mouth full of sharp teeth on its head, and its flat fins were more suitable for high-speed swimming. It caught up with the flesh-finned fish at an extremely fast speed, and its powerful mouth tore off large chunks of flesh in an instant.
The other sharks sensed that their comrade had succeeded in killing the fish and gathered around to share. Over the generations of evolution, these creatures' senses had become stronger and stronger. Even if there was no movement in the water, some of them could still pinpoint the exact location of their target without using their eyes. Lin knew that this was an ability called 'smell'. But what exactly was smell? Lin still didn't know, but it was something that needed to be researched.
However, sharks also had good eyesight. Lin knew from the records of the observation of the eyeball that sharks had the best sense of smell among all creatures.
The evolution of the eye was also reflected in some creatures. Lin noticed that the eyes of most single-celled creatures could only sense light and were unable to analyze complex images. It was not until the emergence of multicellular creatures that the eyes of many creatures were still the same. It was only now that creatures with eyes that could analyze complex images had appeared.
Then, Lin should have been blind in the past as well. But the strange crystal-like object that the Observer ate gave it vision. Later on, its cells even imitated the structure of the crystal to form an eyeball.
What exactly was that crystal? It was still an unsolved mystery. All the crystals that Lin had discovered so far were different from this one …
Lin Sanjiu decided to think about it later. It was only a matter of time before she found this' vision crystal '.
Now, the sharks quickly finished eating the flesh-finned fish and spread out again. Unlike the flatfish that liked to live in groups, these sharks had slowly drifted away from their own kind through evolution …
After they split up, the warheads swam towards the shark closest to them. These sharks initially didn't think much of the warheads, but they were wrong.
When the shark realized that it was surrounded, it was already too late. The warheads swarmed forward and used their sharp forelimbs to cut open the shark's skin. Some of them attacked the shark's softer gills.
The shark had no intention of fighting back. Instead, it twisted its body wildly in an attempt to escape. It charged out of the seaweed swarm at an extremely fast speed and escaped towards the surface of the water.
The warheads followed closely behind. The shark's wounds kept spewing out large amounts of cells, which attracted its own kind. However, these people didn't come to help it. They wanted to eat their own kind.
They had become so individualized that they would even devour their own kind. Lin couldn't understand how sharks could evolve into such a strange way of life …
Lin split off a portion of the warheads to chase away the sharks that were chasing after it. The rest of the warheads chased after the shark until it was forced to the side of a large piece of ice on the surface of the water.
However, before the warheads could do anything, the large piece of ice beside the shark suddenly split open. A scythe covered in barbs reached out and grabbed the shark.
This was …
At that moment, the large piece of ice slowly cracked open. Under the shattered ice shards, a glittering figure covered in crystal armor appeared.
This creature was more than five meters long. Lin was very familiar with this creature because it was the evolution of the Ice Monster …
In the beginning, Lin didn't understand the habits of the Ice Monster. However, after years of observation, Lin noticed that mature Ice Monsters would return to the Land of Crystallization to breed, while young Ice Monsters would only leave after they had grown to a certain extent.
The Ice Monster's overall appearance had changed very little, but its size had increased. Its entire body was still covered in crystal armor. Its forelimbs had turned into barbed scythes and there were two large eyeballs on its head. Without a doubt, this creature had the ability to kill a shark in one hit.
In this era of hunting, Lin realized that the more leisurely way of life she used to live was no longer suitable. She should have completely surrounded the shark just now so that it wouldn't be snatched away.
Now that the warheads might not be able to harm the Ice Monster, they would have to use the 'trump card' that had been sleeping with Lin …
The Ice Monster's mouth was a slit filled with blades and serrated pincers. It could easily tear a shark apart, but even with its crystal armor, the gigantic Ice Monster still had its enemies. A large creature slowly swam towards them from afar. It seemed that it was attracted by the shark's corpse …
Its ancestor was a flatfish, but it evolved from a flatfish to a helmeted fish, and then evolved from a helmeted fish. It was also the largest creature that Lin could remember from her observation so far.
With a length of ten meters, this giant fish's head was covered in hard armor. However, unlike the helmeted fish's useless and obstructive head armor, this Ice Monster's head armor had large blade-shaped teeth at the end. At the same time, its head armor was divided into two halves, which allowed it to open its mouth and bite its prey.
It charged straight at the Ice Monster and bit down on the shell on the side of the Ice Monster's body. It only needed to turn its head to easily tear off a large piece of the broken crystal armor.
The Ice Monster's pressure was so great that it could even crush the Ice Monster's armor. The Ice Monster abandoned the shark and quickly escaped using the powerful spray device on its hind limbs.
Although the giant fish was strong, it was not fast enough. It had no choice but to give up on the Ice Monster and eat the small shark instead.
What an interesting environment …
Lin realized that it had only been watching the show from the beginning, but it still managed to gain quite a bit. Now, it was time to get serious and let it come out to collect all the interesting things!
