Chương 92: Chapter 92
Maybe this is called "fishing for bugs." He felt that it was very interesting.
The silver beetle was dragged down by Leviathan and fell heavily to the ground. Although many beetles could fly, the silver beetle didn't seem to be able to.
It should have been smashed to pieces from a height of more than 30 feet, but the soil below was quite soft. Besides, the silver beetle had landed on its hard shell, so it stood up after shaking its legs a few times. However, just as it was about to leave, it suddenly saw a four-meter-long, 1.6-meter-tall monster in front of it.
Bang! Almost instantly, the silver beetle bent its abdomen and sprayed a high-temperature liquid at Leviathan.
The liquid sprayed on Leviathan's shell. A few wisps of smoke rose, but it didn't cause any actual damage.
Leviathan's anti-corrosion ability aside, its shell was thick enough that the liquid wouldn't be able to penetrate it so easily.
The silver beetle sprayed the liquid a few times. Leviathan was covered in the liquid, but it approached the silver beetle as if nothing had happened.
When it was close enough, Leviathan reached out two of its tentacles and wrapped them around the silver beetle's head. Before the silver beetle could erupt again, Leviathan lifted it up and plunged it into the soil.
The silver beetle could only spray liquid from its abdomen and tail. Now that its lower body was plunged into the soil, it couldn't spray any liquid at all.
Before the silver beetle could struggle out, Leviathan wrapped its tentacles tightly around its head and twisted it up.
Crack!
With the strength of the tentacles and the suction cups, the silver beetle's head was twisted off by Leviathan. White blood burst out of its body.
It seemed easy, but the silver beetle was only a meter long and 30 centimeters tall. Lin was bullying it.
The sleeping scorpions in the cave seemed to have smelled the silver beetle's blood and rushed out. This time, however, they were mercilessly blocked by Leviathan.
This can't be eaten. I need to study it carefully.
Leviathan brought the silver beetle back into the cave. Lin built a special research cabin in the cave, which was actually a bag filled with water. All the research had to be done in water.
A large number of cells and small eyeballs for research purposes entered the silver beetle's body. After analyzing and studying it, Lin discovered that this creature was quite complicated. Its body had many strange organs that other creatures didn't have.
Its carapace contained components that were resistant to high temperatures and dissolved liquids. Lin had seen the combination of these components when decomposing various kinds of crustaceans, but she never thought that they could be arranged in such a way. This combination could prevent the dissolving liquid from sputtering onto her body and burning her.
Inside its body, there was also a small pouch filled with strong resistance. This pouch was connected to all the cannons. It seemed that this was the 'ammunition room'.
The ammunition room had very little muscle structure, and it was filled with net-like pipe structures. It could not compress air or water like the Leviathan. It seemed that it did not rely on air pressure or water pressure to shoot.
In other words, the Silver Beetle's ammunition had the ability to spray bullets. But where was the ammunition?
The ammunition room was connected to two other pouches. Lin found that one of them was a food pouch. Inside it, she found the remains of the Mad Bees and dissolved acid. The other pouch had nothing but some transparent liquid.
In other words, the ammunition came from these two sacks? But there was nothing special about the transparent liquid and dissolved acid in the food pouch.
But since they were connected, they must be the organs that produced the ammunition … Right, that might be it!
With that thought in mind, Lin ordered some cells to separate secretions from the two pouches and combine them together …
When the cells combined with the two liquids, the temperature of the liquid suddenly rose rapidly, and then it exploded like a bomb! The intense temperature instantly killed all the cells in the surroundings.
So that's how it is! The Silver Beetle transported the two substances from the network of pipes in the ammunition room to the muzzle of a cannon. When the two substances were combined, the Silver Beetle could use its explosive power to shoot them out. This was really interesting. Lin had never seen any liquid that could explode when combined together.
Let's call it 'explosives'.
Lin didn't know where the transparent liquid came from. She needed to study it further. Lin had recently evolved a type of research cell called the 'Decomposer'. They were relatively small, almost the size of some large viruses. They were capable of analyzing the structure of various substances in greater detail.
Lin told them to analyze and eventually find a way to make this substance. That way, Lin could also make this thing called 'explosives'.
However, Lin was more interested in one thing. How did the Silver Beetle evolve to have this ability? At first, it might have been an accident when it combined the two liquids together.
At that time, its shell or internal organs probably didn't have the ability to resist the explosion, so it hurt itself. That way, the Silver Beetle would be afraid of the substance and stop combining.
But it didn't give up. Perhaps the Silver Beetle happened to encounter a predator when it was combining the substance, and the explosion caused by the combination scared the predator away. Then, the Silver Beetle memorized the method of making explosives.
The Silver Beetle should have started combining the liquid outside its body. Later, when its cells slowly evolved to react to it, it started combining the liquid inside its body.
But the question was, how did the cells react? Cells needed to be in contact with substances to think. Only its brain knew how to combine the liquid outside its body. But the brain shouldn't be able to influence the evolution of cells.
Cells could think according to changes in the outside world. Their intelligence was no less than that of a creature with a brain, but their reaction was relatively slow. But this slowness contributed to the perfection of their evolution.
In fact, Lin had been studying the evolution of cells all this time. If Lin could completely master the evolution of cells, it wouldn't be a problem even if it reached the stars …
After Lin learned how to fly, she tried to fly in the stars, but after reaching a certain height, she couldn't go any higher. There were many reasons for this. Because she had never seen any creature fly that high, she couldn't learn it.
Not only did she have to learn it, she also had to learn how to evolve …
…
After studying the silver beetle for seven days and nights, Lin had already finished analyzing the two types of explosive compounds inside the silver beetle's body. She had also discovered that they could be extracted from various types of food. She was now able to successfully create this type of explosive.
If combined with the original high-pressure fire, the power of the artillery could reach a whole new level! Lin now had a lot of units with this kind of structure.
At the same time, Lin didn't slow down the expansion of her territory. Starting from the entrance of the cave, Lin spread a green carpet.
Lin didn't plan to touch the moss in the Glittering Woodland for now. Instead, she planned to cover the Dark Plain with her green carpet first. However, in order for her green carpet to glow, Lin needed the same crystal fragments as the moss.
So far, Lin discovered that if she didn't go after the moss, the crystal fragments could be found underground. The amount of crystal fragments was especially high in the Glittering Woodland, but they were relatively rare in the Dark Plain.
And so, an excavation team was formed. Although Lin didn't touch the moss in the Glittering Woodland, she dug a tunnel through the river to reach the bottom of the Glittering Woodland, where the crystal fragments were abundant. Then, she began to collect the crystal fragments.
Because the green carpet was an armourless type, they needed to be protected. But since most troops were used for hunting, Lin created a special item to protect these green carpets.
It was called a 'cannon'. To put it simply, it was a rectangular rock inserted vertically into the ground. At the bottom of the rock was a unit with the explosive structure of a silver beetle that could fire cannons. By attaching appendages to the bottom of the rock, the cannons could move freely and attack any target that ate the green carpet.
Because she needed to collect the crystals, the green carpet's growth rate wasn't that fast, so Lin still focused on hunting for nutrients.
Lin had also explored the area of this forest, but every time she used a flyer, it would be eaten by various creatures before it could fly too far. The furthest she flew was about three days and nights towards the North, but the surrounding area was still covered by the endless Twisting Woodland, which showed just how large this forest was.
One could almost call it a sea of green …
As the exploration of the forest continued, Lin attempted to return to the sea to test the temperature of the water. Faced with a large number of Giant Vein Dragonflies and the scorching heat of the desert, Lin only used a single flyer to reach the beach.
As a result, Lin saw something inconceivable … Although the seawater wasn't as hot as before, it had turned black.
It wasn't that the seawater itself had turned black, but that it was mixed with a large number of strange substances and dust. Lin didn't know where these things came from, but most of them were poisonous and could kill almost any sea creature. According to Lin's investigation, there had been several sea-quakes at the bottom of the sea during this period, and there were quite a number of fish corpses on the cliff, as well as many living Bloondo scorpions.
It seemed that the worms had all left, and the scorpions were unscrupulously fighting over the fish corpses on the shore, but they didn't dare to step into the Aztec Forest of Spires.
What would their fate be? After eating the fish, the scorpion army would surely invade the Forest of Spires. Unfortunately, Lin's flyer didn't live to see that, as it was eaten by the Giant Vein Dragonflies after completing its exploration mission.
