Bab 234: Chapter 233 oh oh
After the Inca swarm left, Lin's Bechymos returned to the Twisted Jungle.
Everything returned to normal.
In the end, Lin didn't plan to follow them. After all, it would be too boring to watch them all the time. However, Lin still left a few tiny units on their airships. They were usually in a state of hibernation, and Lin decided to wake them up after many years to see how the Inca insect swarm had changed.
She did have such a feeling. If she stared at a creature for a long time, no matter how much it grew, she would not feel any changes. On the other hand, if she looked at another creature again after a period of time, she would feel that it had changed a lot.
Lin called this the 'memory refresh effect'. It was a very special feeling, so Lin preferred to look at things after a period of time.
But now … it was the boring winter again.
Bechymos released some units to clear the snow on its body. The Twisted Jungle was right in front of its eyes.
Lin placed Bechymos at the edge of the jungle and let it enter a state of hibernation. During winter, most of Lin's units would enter a state of hibernation like other creatures to reduce energy consumption. However, some of them would remain in a state of hibernation to observe the changes throughout the winter.
The snowball was one of them. It was a new unit Lin created for winter observation. It looked like a furry eyeball that could flutter with the wind and snow. It could observe the entire continent in this world covered in silver.
In fact, it was just a ball that had been specially treated. It was not afraid of the reflection of the snow and had the ability to keep warm.
Currently, the sky was filled with fine snow. Lin released a large number of snowballs into the sky above the Twisted Jungle. They floated along with the cold wind. They recorded everything that happened in the jungle.
The seawater in the canyon had formed a thick layer of ice crystals. The huge Hometree was covered in a layer of snow. In this cold environment, everything was in a state of near withered state …
Only one type of creature was active in the frozen canyon.
Spar lizards. These creatures that could generate their own body temperature did not enter a state of hibernation during winter. They used their claws to dig out the frozen or sleeping creatures from the thick layer of ice and enjoyed the defenseless flesh.
This was their season.
However, continuously producing heat required a lot of energy. These lizards' ability to insulate themselves was not strong enough. Every time they finished eating, they would flee back to the caves in the canyon walls. However, some of them did not make it back in time and froze to death halfway.
A group of snowballs drifted across the canyon along with the cold wind. On the frozen sea surface, there were many Spar Lizards digging holes in the ice. There were also many frozen corpses. It seemed that this winter was more lively than before.
Some of the snowballs floating in the air above the Twisted Jungle extended their fluffy wings and flew into the sky.
After passing through some thin layers of clouds, the floating archipelago appeared before Lin's eyes. The unique products of the moon's arrival were now covered in a layer of silvery-white. Some of the larger archipelagos had slightly lowered their altitude due to the pressure of the ice and snow, but had yet to reach the point where they would fall.
There was nothing interesting …
Just like last winter. All the creatures fell into a deep slumber, and nothing happened. Once the moon reached a certain distance, it stopped approaching Lin. Lin couldn't help but feel bored …
The Twisted Jungle was covered in a large area of ice and snow. At the foot of the mountain, perhaps because the mud inside had all flowed away, there was no hot spring at all. Therefore, no creatures came close.
Headworm and Muketu had both entered a state of hibernation. This time, Headworm fell asleep on the airship. Although it was colder at high altitudes, it seemed to be well-insulated, so there was no problem. Occasionally, there would be a vortex in the air, but it did not affect it.
They were all asleep. As for Lin, she was looking at this silvery-white world while waiting for time to slowly pass … The explorers' journey to explore the volcano was paused. Lin wanted to wait until spring.
Ten days and nights, thirty days and nights, seventy days and nights …
Winter was too long … Lin could also sleep, but she felt that she would miss something.
Indeed, after Lin had such thoughts, another ten days and nights passed, and Lin discovered a strange matter …
This thing suddenly appeared without a sound, and Lin did not know the reason for it. That was … the oxygen in the air seemed to have decreased.
At first, she noticed that during the snowball's flight, it would slowly become difficult to breathe. At first, Lin thought that it was because of the airflow, but after many times, Lin felt that it was strange. She then analyzed the air in the jungle, high altitudes, and various other places in detail.
The oxygen in the air had decreased by a lot, and this would affect the normal oxygen intake of many creatures. Although it was not fatal, it would cause some problems.
Why was this happening? Lin did not know.
This situation did not happen suddenly, but rather it continued to decrease. Now that it had decreased to the point where it would affect the air, Lin noticed it.
What was the reason? Normal green algae, fungi, and plants could produce oxygen. Although the plants were usually in a state of hibernation during winter, this did not happen last winter.
Strange, it was hard to understand. Could it be because of those vortexes in the air that appeared recently? Or was it because of the collapse of the underground world? Or was it related to the fungi decomposing large amounts of wood buried underground?
It seemed that she would need to investigate this further.
If the oxygen level was maintained at this level, it would be fine. At most, it would cause some creatures to feel uncomfortable, but if it continued to decrease, it would greatly affect them.
Lin had a large number of snowballs and a few soldiers investigate various areas, including the air, the jungle, the frozen water, as well as the underground world.
The vortexes in the sky were only caused by the airflow. Although she did not know the cause, it did not seem to be a problem. There were no problems in the sea or the jungle, only the underground environment was a bit strange. Lin noticed that the fungi had indeed spread very deep underground. The wood here had been piled up for who knew how many years, but now it was showing signs of being infected by the fungi. However, due to the cold, the fungi had stopped growing, so it was hard to confirm whether or not they were directly related to the oxygen level.
However, the oxygen level was indeed decreasing. After ten days and nights, Lin noticed that the oxygen level had become even lower than before, affecting some creatures.
