Capítulo 226: Chapter 225
The water was sweeping through the entire underground world.
The only gap between the ocean and the underground world was finally unable to withstand the pressure of the water and burst open. Tons of water poured into the underground space, forming an unstoppable wave that crashed through the forest. Countless ferns were broken under the force of the water, and a large number of creatures ran frantically under the threat of the wave. However, even more creatures were swept into the water, and as they were used to living on land, they struggled and wailed in vain in the water.
Who would have thought that before this place collapsed, the ocean would end this world first.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Inca insect swarm wanted to escape.
The rushing water washed through the entire forest and crashed into a Hometree. With a loud bang, the water was instantly cut in half by the giant tree and rushed to both sides, smashing everything around it into pieces and debris. Together with the surging water, the water rushed deeper into the underground world.
In the end, the Hometree also cracked under the impact of the seawater. Its wooden structure that had become fragile due to the contamination of the fungus could not withstand the impact and collapsed with a loud bang, falling into the surging seawater.
The collapsed Hometree became a shelter for the creatures that were swept away by the water. They scrambled to climb up the Hometree, and the splinters that splashed out from the Hometree were also their salvation in despair.
It seemed that this was the first time Lin mentioned the word 'boat'. Was it referring to a boat that floated on the water?
Most of the Hometree's insides were hollow, so it could float in the water. Although it almost broke into pieces when it collapsed in the water, the drifting pieces of wood saved more creatures.
Although there were still many problems, a group of lizards gathered on the splinters because a beetle also wanted to climb up the splinters. Its weight knocked over the whole piece of wood. The lizards fell back into the water.
There were also some creatures that crashed into the rocks because of the turbulent water. Some creatures crashed into other splinters, but the biggest danger they faced was still the collapse.
As the Hometree collapsed, the cracks on the ceiling increased. Countless sound stones stuck to the ceiling and shook non-stop. There were also countless boulders that fell from the ceiling. These boulders smashed into the creatures that huddled together on the Hometree, turning them into pieces of limbs and flesh that fell back into the water.
The collapse and the tsunami happened at the same time?
Lin's Flyer hovered above the water, observing the scene. Because this wasn't caused by an earthquake, most of the underground creatures didn't have enough time to escape and were swept into the water. There were many underground creatures in the Twisted Jungle, and Lin needed to save the rare creatures that could only be found underground. Lin liked environments rich in species, not only could she obtain a lot of evolutionary information, it was also much more interesting to observe.
For example, carnivorous plants such as Death Spikes, Giant Golden Vein Dragonflies, Lava Spiders, and so on. These creatures need to be transported to land.
However, although the water flow was fast, it would take a long time for it to submerge the entire underground. Therefore, Lin was not in a hurry.
The seawater had already reached the Inca horde's territory. The rubble and broken trees that littered the ground were the remnants of the battle between Lin and the Inca horde, but now, they were all swept away by the current.
A large amount of seawater flowed into the Inca horde's fossil pits and rearing pits, giving the fishes in the pits a chance to escape. Lin believed that they could survive in the polluted water, but under the current, only a small number of them would be able to survive.
The intense water flow knocked down most of the infected Hometrees along the way. After the Hometrees collapsed, the rock layer on top of the cave also collapsed, revealing a large hole that allowed one to see the stars.
The Hometrees that were originally used by the Inca horde to collect fossils had also collapsed under the impact of the water, turning all the fossils they collected into dust.
Very soon, there would no longer be a gap between the underground and the surface.
Lin ordered her troops to begin their operation. This was a complete flyer, their main task was to search for creatures in the water, while another group was responsible for transporting the Death Spikes away.
Lin discovered that there was a unique sound that caused the Death Spikes to twist their bodies, which was very interesting. The Inca horde must have discovered this method by chance and began using the Death Spikes.
The Golden Dragonflies had already left the collapsed cave and arrived above the Twisted Jungle, but there were still many unique creatures that had nowhere to run, and those were the creatures that Lin needed to save …
Lin's troops were a type of troop that could use hooks and strings to pull creatures out of the water, as well as a few large floating bases. They could pull creatures out of the water, then fly them to the bases to drop them off before sending them back to land.
This operation was relatively simple. After completing this mission, Lin only needed to observe. Lin did not try to stop the seawater from spreading, instead, she observed how it affected the environment.
For the next few days and nights, the water flow continued to advance.
The rock walls at the edge of the underground grew larger and larger as the seawater flowed in. The water flowed faster and faster, eventually flooding the Inca horde's territory and covering Lin's former battlefield. Countless creatures were swallowed up by the current.
Lin believed that the seawater had once flooded this place as well. At that time, it brought with it many marine creatures, such as the marine creatures in the lake at the peak. The mudskippers on the rocky ground might have something to do with the seawater's intrusion, but this time, it only brought with it a small number of ancient squids and microscopic creatures …
If the sea level rose due to the influence of the moon, then it would surely fall back down. This way, the marine creatures trapped underground would have to work hard to survive as the seawater slowly decreased, and they might even evolve into new creatures.
The historical statues of the Inca horde also recorded something similar …
However, this time, it was different. Due to the fungus causing the Hometree to collapse, a large hole had appeared between the ground and the underground. Originally, even if the seawater flowed into the ground, it would not reach the land. Even if it did reach the land, it would not be able to reach the Twisted Jungle due to the large desert as a barrier.
This had never happened before. The Inca horde did not have any records of this because this was the first time wood had been decomposed in history, and the fungus was the first creature that had recently evolved the ability to decompose wood. It had probably only been a few decades since they learned how to decompose wood.
According to Lin's recent research on fungi, they had actually been around for a very long time. Their way of life was to constantly decompose the things produced by other creatures, so it was possible that they had evolved the ability to decompose wood.
