Lin would occasionally pay attention to this' mood 'thing. Although it didn't affect her behavior much, she found it quite interesting. Speaking of which, the emotion called' compassion 'hadn't appeared for over a hundred million years.
I'll leave him to solve these problems, Lin decided to start analyzing the sawfly's body.
The sniper's warhead was equipped with an explosive system. The warhead was filled with the first type of explosive liquid, and inside this liquid was a small sphere that was filled with the second type of liquid. When Lin wanted it to explode, the sphere would split open and cause the warhead to explode, but it shouldn't be that powerful. Looking at the sawfly's almost completely destroyed abdomen, Lin speculated that the sawfly's body might contain something similar to explosives that triggered a chain explosion.
The sawfly's eyeball had multiple layers that seemed to be able to absorb and reflect light multiple times, which allowed it to see in dark places. However, Lin preferred to shine her own light.
What Lin didn't understand was the sawfly's skin. Although it was said to be for flight, it was so thin that even a slightly stronger attack would tear it apart.
However, this wasn't Lin's main concern. Flight was her main concern.
The sawfly's body was huge, but it was actually quite light, even lighter than a Leviathan. Its wings were covered in a layer of fine hair that was filled with blood vessels mixed with fat cells, as well as powerful muscles at the base of its wings to help it move.
So that's how it was. Other than the fact that she didn't know what the fat cells were for, the rest of its body wasn't that different from a dragonfly's. The only difference was that it needed larger wings to allow its body to fly. This was quite troublesome, as its large wings were quite inconvenient on the ground.
However, after understanding this ratio, Lin decided to create a new type of unit — — a gigantic flyer.
Only by being able to fly would they be able to better explore the entire forest. However, Lin's main purpose for creating it was to find those empty jellyfish. Lin had a feeling that by combining the dragonfly's wings and the jellyfish's floating gas, they would be able to fly no matter how big they were. Furthermore, they wouldn't need to create such large wings to fly.
This preparation was for disaster. Perhaps, if something were to happen in the future, the only way to be safe was to hide in the air. This wasn't because there was no danger in the air, but rather because flying in the air would allow them to quickly find a safe place.
The first time was due to a lack of oxygen, but the place where she was at that time was only a small rock no larger than a few centimeters. After that incident, Lin's green carpet had covered over a hundred kilometers, and she had never seen anything again, nor did she think that there would be anything that could threaten her.
Until that time when the ocean underwent a huge change …
Only then did Lin realize that the scope of the disaster was not fixed. It could be very large or very small.
Was it really because of his lack of experience that he was hit by such a disaster?
However, now that Lin knew how to prepare in advance, this was called 'preparing for a rainy day', right? But what is rain?
The night slowly passed, and when the Light of Day shone once again, Lin had finished disassembling the sawfly. At the same time, she had also created a new flying unit.
The nest by the river was also Lin's main base. The Leviathan crawled out of the hole that was getting bigger and bigger. It walked across the river and into the forest.
Lin noticed that the current of the river seemed to have become smaller for some reason. Although Lin had wanted to go upstream to take a look, she had more important things to do right now.
The Leviathan walked through a section of the forest, left the humid and lively forest, and stood at the edge of the desert. The scorching light was distorting the air on the surface of the desert. The temperature here was still the same as before, possessing a terrifying lethality that deterred most creatures from approaching, but this time, Lin needed to rely on this temperature to survive.
The Leviathan walked up to a sand dune. At that moment, the carapace on its back slowly split open, and a pair of gigantic wings stretched out from within.
These wings were modeled after the sawfly's gigantic wings, but this time, the wings were folded together because they were originally folded inside her body. Now, Lin had filled the wings with blood and stretched them as far as she could. Under the illumination of the light, a large amount of heat surged into the membrane of the wings, and the wings began to expand.
In the end, when the wings were fully extended, they were almost 23 meters wide. The Leviathan waved it with all its might, and the surrounding sand particles instantly stirred up a small sandstorm.
Following that, the carapace on the Leviathan's body began to crack and fall off, forming a new body.
In fact, the external appearance had not changed much. Lin had only made the Leviathan's head a little rounder, and the carapace on the surface of its body smoother, making it more aerodynamic.
Seems like a very powerful word has appeared … Forget it, let's not talk about this for now.
In addition, the internal structure of the carapace on the Leviathan's body had also been modified. Its weight had become lighter, but it was still using the heat resistant carapace of the Mist Worm. Its armor had not been reduced either. Lin did not want to sacrifice its defense. Although the defense of the wings was lower, the internal pipes were smooth, and any damage would be repaired immediately.
There were also some modifications to the eyeballs, allowing them to see further and clearer.
Then … Everything was ready, let's take off!
The Leviathan's cannon opened abruptly, and a violent blast of air burst out behind it. Its six appendages also stretched out, and it leaped up from the sand dune. Its wings flapped, and the Leviathan's gigantic body finally rose into the air!
It's flying!
Looking at the sand getting further and further away from her, Lin felt incomparably excited. This sense of accomplishment was much greater than when she created those small flyers. Now, let's fly towards the vast sky!
The Leviathan's goal this time was to find the Skyjellyfish, but Lin also wanted to explore this vast desert to see if she could find other forests.
Although the heat of the desert came from the light in the sky, Lin did not feel too hot at high altitude. The pigment cells on her wings could create a reflective silver color, and coupled with the high-speed flight, she actually felt quite cool.
Spreading her huge wings, Lin increased her altitude to about 100 meters. Lin was very familiar with flying techniques, and knew how to glide along the airflow without expending any energy. In fact, it was not much different from swimming. At this height, Lin could clearly see a large area around her.
The desert was still endless. Lin had once built a base in a lake in the desert, but the lake was swallowed up by a sandstorm not long ago.
In the desert, it seemed that all water could not last long.
The Leviathan was now flying in the direction of the Forest of Sharp Pillars. Lin slowly increased her altitude, wanting to test how high her wings could fly.
Now, she had reached an altitude of more than 1000 meters. The wind was howling, and the light was becoming more and more dazzling. But just as Lin wanted to go higher again, the light around her suddenly dimmed.
That's …
Looking at the sky, she saw a large gray fog slowly covering the entire sky, blocking most of the light.
Are these called 'dark clouds'? Lin occasionally saw this when she was near the surface of the sea, but this was the first time she saw it on land.
The increasing number of dark clouds cooled the desert air, and light gusts of wind began to blow across the scorching desert. Lin slowly lowered her altitude. She knew what was going to happen next, but she did not know if flying like this would be a problem.
"Boom …"
Silver light rolled in the clouds, and the vibrations in the air were transmitted to the Leviathan's auditory tentacles, turning into a rumbling vibration.
Is this … lightning?
Lin had seen lightning streaking across the sky many times, but she had never studied the circumstances under which it was formed.
Although she wanted to take a closer look, she felt that it was dangerous, so she continued to lower her altitude.
At this time, countless water droplets appeared under the dark clouds. Lin could see that these water droplets were like an endless army, gushing out with the force of air and gravity.
This is called … 'rain'.
They hit the Leviathan's huge wings crazily, splashing countless water droplets. Lin tilted her wings slightly to let the excess water on her wings leak out.
But a large amount of water stuck to the Leviathan's wings, and Lin suddenly felt that the Leviathan was getting heavier and heavier. She began to lose control of her flight, and the Leviathan began to fall.
A strong storm roared around the Leviathan. Seeing that the desert below was getting closer and closer, Lin quickly modified the structure of her wings.
The structure and material of the Leviathan's wings were completely modeled after that of a sawfly. There was a lot of fluff on the wings, and Lin immediately removed the fluff and increased the number of cells in the wings through the blood vessels. The wings expanded, and the surface became smooth, so the water would not stick to the wings and slide off.
When the Leviathan was more than 10 meters above the ground, it flapped its wings fiercely, shaking off the water droplets and flying again in the storm.
It felt dangerous. Falling from a height of more than a thousand meters might cause it to rot, and that would be a great loss.
If Lin modified an existing troop class, it would be easier, but to slowly grow a cell into a new troop class, it would take a lot of time and nutrients. If she wanted to grow a new Leviathan, it would take more than 10 days and nights because the structure of the Leviathan was too complicated. Of course, Lin could also modify an existing troop class into a Leviathan, but she did not want to do that.
Lin noticed that the water droplets that fell on the desert seemed to have all gathered together, forming a huge brown river mixed with a large amount of sand. The water rushed into the distance.
The direction of the river was not the Twisted Jungle or the Forest of Spires, but a direction that Lin had never been to before.
