Bab 79: Chapter 79
Lin didn't move. The rotting smell was everywhere, so there were probably a lot of fish carcasses nearby, which was perfect for the Leviathan and the transporter to hide themselves.
While hiding, Lin quickly repaired the damaged cells in her leg and made some structural changes, mainly to ensure that they could be repaired in time while moving so that she wouldn't get tired, as well as increase her speed.
On land, many things were different ….
When she was in the sea, Lin wasn't afraid even when facing the largest Dunkleosteus, because she knew the enemy well enough. The Leviathan's troopers were powerful enough to pose no threat in the sea, but on land, it was a different story.
The Leviathan's troopers couldn't operate on land, so Lin didn't have the time to create new troopers before running into strange creatures one after another.
Giant worms, monsters of the night, what would happen next?
However, being in such a sorry state on land wasn't just a matter of not being able to adapt.
What was this' sorry state 'thing? It sounded like it was describing a very tragic situation.
Lin also noticed something else. Ever since she learned how to create green carpets, she had become more docile. 'Docile' also sounded like a new word.
When facing other creatures, Lin no longer felt the urge to eat or kill them like before. She only wanted to study them, or was completely uninterested.
This habit wasn't a problem in the water, but it wasn't good to bring it to an unfamiliar land. When faced with a threat, Lin's desire to leave was greater than her desire to fight back.
Although it was indeed better to run away when facing the worms, it would be too cowardly to run away when facing those small creatures.
She seemed to have discovered a very interesting word, but Lin had also discovered something even more valuable.
That's right, after arriving on land, she shouldn't be looking for a place to lay green carpets. Instead, she should directly convert the nutrients of the transporter into a powerful troopers. It would be faster to directly kill and plunder the nutrients of the creatures here. Once she fully understood them, when her life was no longer in danger, she could slowly lay out the green carpets.
That's it! After becoming the strongest, she could slowly study the evolution of creatures.
Lin was very satisfied with her decision. However, she only had one transporter left, so it was better to use it to make green carpets. The main things she needed to modify were the various troopers inside the Leviathan's body.
Although Lin had decided to plunder other creatures, she still needed to wait until daylight. It was troublesome to do anything in the dark, and she didn't know if terrifying creatures like the worms would appear.
For now, she could only wait until daylight.
Although Lin was surrounded by corpse miasma, she didn't run into any danger and safely made it through the day.
The Leviathan's's body was more or less modified as well. Most of its troopers had been modified to be used on land, to ensure that they could exert their strength in the water, but there was still not much of a difference.
According to Lin's calculations, she had developed a type of powerful limb that relied on hydraulic power to ensure that it could move quickly even when its body was filled with water. Because Lin had gotten used to living in the water, she had become quite obsessed with water on land. Lin refused to throw away even a little bit of water to reduce her weight, but she still found a better way. As long as she used her strength well, she would be able to ignore her weight.
. The light of day illuminated the Needle Pillar Forest. When Lin's vision returned, she saw the reason for the rotten smell around her. Most of them were corpses of helmeted fishes and flesh-finned fishes. Most of them had been gnawed, some were only eaten a little, while others had been gnawed to the bone.
'Bone' was a new word, used to describe the internal carapace of some creatures. Carapaces were quite popular among fishes, but Lin didn't like them. She preferred to cover her body with a carapace like a scorpion, which could better ensure the operation of the hydraulic system. That was why arthropods were generally much stronger than other creatures.
Lin pulled the corpses that still had more meat together, then let the Leviathan release the Collectors to devour them.
The land-based Collectors were very similar to the ones in the water. They were in the shape of tentacles, with many barbed teeth in their mouths. They could scrape meat off bones and scrape plants off rocks, then squeeze them into their bodies.
Lin was not a creature that would feel disgusted. The Collectors not only had strong acid in their bodies, but they also had an inner wall made up of hardened cells that could completely crush any saprophytes into powder and absorb them. At the same time, they also had a strong ability to separate toxins, so they could ignore the toxins released by saprophytes.
The skeletons of the creatures were useless. Now that they had enough crustaceans, after eating all the meat, the Leviathan recalled the Collectors back into its body and began to look around.
It was very noisy in the night, but now it was very quiet, and there were no creatures in sight.
At night, the small arthropods seemed to be very afraid of light. The light of the lanterns was not harmful, but they were so scared that they didn't dare to come close. Obviously, there was something wrong.
Perhaps … the creatures of the Northern Continent climbed up to the land when the ultraviolet rays were still strong, and then lived a life of roaming in the night and hiding in the daytime. This habit had been preserved, and that was why they were so afraid of light.
It was just a guess. Anyway, if they couldn't find them now, there was no way to hunt them down.
The Leviathan walked to the bottom of a needle pillar, stretched out its tentacles, and scraped some green plant debris off it with the sawtooth on its suction cup. The place where the green was scraped off revealed a gray rock wall.
This seemed to be called 'moss'? Lin released the Collectors and threw the moss debris into its mouth. The Collectors wriggled its body and sent the debris into its body to be crushed.
These things were indeed plants made up of many green cells. They lived by sticking to the spikes, and the spikes themselves were similar to rocks. However, it was unclear why these rocks grew into spikes and were scattered all over the place.
So, it was better to make green carpets here.
If they wanted to hunt, of course, the plants were also in the hunting range.
Lin asked the Transporter to make green carpets with the help of the spikes. In the end, these green carpets were made without shells. There were only a few thin layers of hardened walls to seal in the moisture. When the green carpets were extended, they would first create a large number of spikes. These spikes could pierce into the cells of the moss, absorb and decompose them, and then continue to grow upward, eventually replacing the moss to cover the entire spikes.
It felt like a very good method. There seemed to be a very interesting phrase here. What was it called 'the guest usurping the host'? Or 'the sparrow occupying the dove's nest'?
Although he didn't understand, these phrases sounded very impressive.
Lin left the Transporter here to slowly grow while the Leviathan continued to wander around the forest of spikes to see if there were any targets it could attack.
There were a large number of water droplets in the air of the forest of spikes, but they hadn't reached the point where they could form a thick fog that could obstruct vision. These water droplets probably came from the sea, which might be the source of water for the creatures here.
During the night, the water droplets in the air would be blown away by the wind. In other words … the creatures here would try to collect water during the day.
The water droplets would slow down when the temperature was low, or they might gather together to form larger water droplets or small pools, so they only needed to head towards the direction where the temperature was lower …
The Leviathan swayed its antennae and sensed the temperature in the air. Slowly, it moved towards the direction where the temperature was lower …
After walking through the forest for a while, a small mud pit appeared not far in front of Lin. The pit was filled with clear water, and a creature was lying on the edge of the pit drinking water.
Finally, there was a creature that could fight.
This creature was more than two meters long and 30 centimeters wide in the shape of a cylinder. It had a red carapace and a large number of arthropods under its body. There might be hundreds of pairs.
Although there were many legs, they were all very short. Lin judged that it couldn't run fast, and the Leviathan's legs had been modified and were now very different from before.
This creature had a name called Milliped. It was really strange. Milliped had a few small eyeballs on its head. Although the eyeballs were small, they seemed to have good eyesight. When it saw the Leviathan, it stood up and waved the rows of legs under its body.
Was this an attack posture or a scare posture? No matter what, he had to make the first move. At this moment, Lin had already asked the Leviathan to squeeze the explosive into the launch port. With a bang, the explosive filled with dissolved acid hit the dancing milliped's head.
Hiss …
The Milliped let out a strange sound, obviously in pain. The Leviathan didn't wait for it to do anything. It directly drove the hydraulic system in its legs and rushed over. It used two tentacles to tightly bind the Milliped's body and increased the strength of its muscles to press down on its carapace.
Lin felt that the Milliped's carapace seemed to be much more brittle than the carapace of sea creatures. A large number of cracks appeared on the Milliped's carapace under the pressure of the tentacles.
At that moment, Lin felt a strange smell fill the air. It seemed to be sprayed from the Milliped's body. Some of the olfactory cells on the tentacles had been killed. It was obviously a poisonous gas. Lin immediately closed the Leviathan's blowhole. The air sacs in the Leviathan's body still existed. Even if it didn't absorb oxygen from the outside world, it could still last for a long time.
Under the circumstances where the poisonous gas was ineffective, the Milliped could only be broken by the Leviathan. A large number of cells slowly flowed out of the broken body …
It was quite simple. It wasn't a powerful character.
Lin released the Collectors. They could eat the millipede while separating the poison.
While Lin was leisurely eating, she suddenly realized that another creature had appeared in the forest in front of her. Moreover, the other party was also coming this way. It seemed to be looking for water.
It came at the right time. After testing the Leviathan's strength, it was time to test the strength of some of the troop classes!
