Bab 102: Chapter 101
Although the giant jellyfish was still following behind Leviathan, Lin noticed that it was slowing down.
Leviathan kept shaking its body, and occasionally stretched out its tentacles to let the giant jellyfish see the small jellyfish that was caught in the tentacles. However, the giant jellyfish did not speed up at all. After a while, it even stopped in the air, motionless.
What was going on? Why wasn't it coming? Was it out of gas?
Lin flew over curiously, intending to see what was going on. Just as Leviathan approached the giant jellyfish, the jellyfish suddenly sped up!
It was indeed a creature with a brain! Was it a trap?
Leviathan flapped its wings and rose into the air, dodging the jellyfish's attack. Then, Lin continued to fly towards the giant pit.
"Woo …"
The giant jellyfish let out a low growl, as if it was angry at its failure. This time, it chased after Leviathan at an even faster speed.
Under the heat of the sun, the two giant flying creatures flew across the desert. Under the strong airflow, Lin felt that the hot wind around her seemed to cool down.
Because they were flying at full speed this time, it took less than a day for Lin to see the giant pit in the desert.
The Inca insects in the giant pit were doing something very interesting. Previously, they had placed a large number of balls and filled them with water. Then, they covered the balls with some kind of white silk. Occasionally, the balls would spray out some water to water the white silk. Now, Lin observed that the white silk had begun to grow. They grew thicker and thicker. The Black Bees would come out to cut off the thicker white silk and bring it back to the cave.
They seemed to be growing plants? Although Lin felt that the silk did not look like plants …
However, all of this was quickly paused. In the sky above the huge pit, Leviathan rushed straight into the pit with the huge jellyfish. At this time, a swarm of Black Bees and an Eyeball Worm happened to be observing the surrounding situation on the stairs.
When it saw the giant creature in the air, it seemed to be very nervous. It kept making 'tap tap' sounds. Under its call, countless flying insects swarmed out of the hole.
Was it the same parasite swarm as before? Lin Li wondered if they could parasitize jellyfish.
Lin saw the opportunity. When she led the jellyfish into the space of the pit, she suddenly accelerated and flew towards the sky. Lin knew that jellyfish were not good at ascending. It was not because they could not ascend quickly, but because they had to twist their bodies to raise their heads. It was quite troublesome.
Leviathan flew out of the pit at once, and before the jellyfish was ready to ascend, it was already surrounded by flying insects. There were so many of these flying insects that they could completely surround the jellyfish in an instant, and even its figure could not be seen clearly.
Lin did not know if they attacked the jellyfish. Could the parasites live inside the jellyfish? But Lin could see that the jellyfish was slowly descending.
Was the jellyfish? It continued to descend into the pit, going deeper and deeper. Finally, it approached the water balls at the bottom of the pit.
Then, the jellyfish began expanding.
Lin didn't know if it was the jellyfish that was expanding, but the layer of insects around the jellyfish's body was indeed expanding. If the jellyfish itself was expanding …
Could it be an art form?
But then, something strange happened. After expanding to a certain extent, the jellyfish began to shrink. It was originally about 40 meters tall, and after expanding, it could reach 60 meters. But now, it shrank back to 40 meters … No, it was even smaller than before. It was now 35 meters.
What was it doing? Because of the layer of flying insects, Lin could not see what was going on with the jellyfish.
Could it be that … it was inhaling at first, and now it was compressing the air in its body? Just as Lin was feeling puzzled, a loud noise suddenly came from within the crater!
Boom …!!!
The jellyfish exploded.
With the jellyfish as the center, a strong shockwave spread out in a circular shape. All the flying insects were squashed by the shockwave at this moment. Their organs and blood burst out from their bodies under the pressure of the air flow. The water balls in the pit also burst one after another under the pressure of the shockwave. A large amount of water gushed out from their bodies and filled the bottom of the pit again.
Even the onlooking black bees on the stairs were blown away. Even Leviathan, hundreds of meters high in the air, was shaken by the shockwave.
That was … interesting! So this kind of thing could be so powerful?
Now, the pit was a mess. The huge jellyfish had been smashed into pieces, floating on the lake formed by the explosion of the water ball, together with the bodies of the flying insects.
Leviathan rushed down as fast as it could. Lin found a part of the jellyfish that it thought had the most research value. She used her tentacles to wrap it up and flew up again.
This was called "the fisherman benefits from the fight between the crane and the clam". Speaking of which, what was a crane, a clam, and a fisherman?
I don't care so much anymore.
The Leviathan quickly flew into the sky. Lin knew that there would definitely be more Inca bugs rushing out of the cave. Before that happened, they had to escape as fast as possible.
Huh?
Just as Leviathan was about to fly out of the pit, Lin suddenly saw a fat insect with a big eye lying on the stairs.
This was … an Inca insect … Let's call it the "eye insect". It seemed to have been knocked out by the shockwave, but it was not dead.
Lin flew over, wrapped the eye insect with her tentacles, and flew out of the pit.
It felt like she had gained a lot of things.
Lin flew back to the Twisted Jungle base with this pile of things.
…
After returning to the base, Lin began to research these things.
Very quickly, a few days passed, and Lin's research had made a lot of progress.
First was the organ of the giant jellyfish. Lin didn't just randomly pick it up. Instead, she picked it up based on its complexity. Moreover, this was the only organ that was relatively intact after the explosion.
On the surface, this organ looked like a sac connected to several other sacs. It seemed to have a very simple structure, but there were many complicated things inside.
This organ was what Lin had been looking for, an organ that could synthesize gas.
This organ was still alive when Lin brought it back, so Lin could study it in more detail. Lin found that it could synthesize a special gas from decomposing food.
Through the decomposition of the cells, Lin also understood how the gas was synthesized.
This gas was relatively light, just like air in water. It could produce a huge buoyancy, and could effortlessly lift objects.
Lin didn't need to rely on the gas to float. She could add wings and jet abilities. This way, she could create small but powerful flying units.
With this research, Lin could create flying objects with a huge carrying capacity. She would be fully prepared for disasters.
If there were enough nutrients in the air, Lin could even stay in the air forever. Of course, she could also collect nutrients on the ground for decades or even centuries before flying up. This way, there would be nothing to be afraid of!
But there was one thing that Lin was puzzled about. The organ of the jellyfish could produce two types of gas. The second type of gas was lighter than the first type. Logically speaking, it should be better than the first type. However, the jellyfish had a special organ for both types of gas. This meant that it needed both types of gas at the same time.
Why? This shouldn't be used to control floating. There must be some other problem.
For this, Lin had to study the small jellyfish that she caught.
Lin hadn't dissected it yet. Instead, she used a silk thread with suction cups to tie it to the entrance of the base.
Lin recently discovered that the research value of a living creature was much more useful than a dead one. So, Lin decided to raise it.
What Lin was most concerned about now was the 'eye bug' of the Inca bugs.
It woke up not long after Lin brought it back. Lin found that this thing was really …
Very interesting.
