Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Something huge fell to the ground. Lin could see from the eyeball turrets that a huge twisted tree trunk had fallen to the ground.
There was also a layer of pulsing light around the tree trunk, which was constantly emitting an extremely high temperature that Lin could clearly sense.
That was … 'Fire' … 'Burning'.
Lin recalled the previous disasters that she had seen when huge rocks fell from the sky, they were also wrapped in such high temperature flames.
Could it be that another disaster had occurred?
"Water, Movement, Phal, Death."
Overmind repeated these words beside Leviathan. Lin could feel that it was in a state of extreme anxiety.
Leviathan walked to the entrance of the cave. Lin had the Door Shaper melt the sealed entrance. She planned to let Leviathan investigate directly.
Outside the base, it seemed to be another world. The sky was constantly reverberating with the sound of thunder. Endless raindrops constantly smashed onto everything within sight, forming a never-ending noise.
The twisted tree trunk fell on an empty ground in the Shining Forest, not far from the river. Its entire body was burning with high temperature flames. Leviathan could feel the heat waves as it approached.
What was the cause of this … How could such a huge tree fall down like this?
The Leviathan approached the burning trunk one step at a time. Lin released a small flyer, which had powerful sensory organs. It approached the burning trunk and detected the temperature of the flames.
This temperature … It was very similar to lava. However, it was different from lava's relatively fixed temperature. The temperature of the flames fluctuated. Some areas were relatively high, while others were relatively low.
But now, Lin was more concerned about the reason why it was burning.
Looking up, she could see that among the twisted trees, there was a broken tree trunk. The broken part was also burning with flames.
Lin remembered that when the flaming rocks fell into the water, the flames disappeared. But now, under such heavy rain, the flames did not seem to weaken at all.
Boom!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the horizon. At the same time, Lin clearly heard the sound of an explosion. She saw the trees above suddenly burst into flames. Huge tree trunks broke under the sound of the explosion and came crashing down.
A large number of broken burning trees fell from the top of the forest, smashing into various parts of the Shining Forest. The forest once again lit up with a dazzling light. But unlike the previous light that symbolized life, the high temperature of the flames only symbolized death. Countless small creatures surrounded by flames were forced to crawl out of the ground or the trees. They tried to escape to places where there was no fire, or were swallowed by the flames when there was no escape.
Leviathan stood in the middle of the burning trees. Lin had calculated in advance where the tree trunk would hit, so there was no need to dodge. But … What was that just now?
Was that lightning? Could it Translation Could it Translation? Translation But Lin There was the Translation Forest. There, Lin The Forest, Lin, Lin, the Forest, the lightning was the Twisted Forest. was the Translation Lin, the lightning and thunder. was the lightning this lightning was the Twisted Forest.
Not, the Translation Forest was the Forest Forest was Forest Forest Forest. the forest was the Forest Forest Forest. the Forest was Translation Lin.
"Water, Movement, Dry Wood, Phal, Death."
Lin Lin recalled the Brainworm's words … It seemed to know something …
Although Lin had lived for a long time, she didn't know much about land. Many things that happened on land were completely different from the things that happened in the sea, just like this flame.
The flames continued to spread on the tree trunk, as if trying to extend the high temperature to the entire forest. In the water, the only thing that was similar to the flames was lava. However, lava couldn't spread in the water. It would quickly cool down and solidify.
Now, the key to solving the problem was the Brainworm's words.
Right, Water, Movement, Dry Wood. Did it mean that after the water was removed, the trees would become dry?
With that in mind, Lin Lin had Leviathan approach the nearest Twisted Tree that wasn't affected by the flames. Lin Lin used her tentacles to suck on the bark of the tree and tore off a large piece of bark.
Sure enough, the Twisted Tree had a problem. The bark of these trees was originally quite hard, so it wasn't easy to tear it off, but now …
Lin Lin found a large amount of white silk under the torn bark.
This is … a fungus? Could it be that this was caused by a fungus?
Right, the fungus destroyed the internal structure of the wood. This organism … could decompose wood …
Originally, there was no fungus in this Twisted Forest. But since then, after the Chibucha insects were exterminated, the moss began to disappear and even affected these huge Twisted Trees.
Why did they have such powerful destructive power? Why couldn't the immune cells of the Twisted Trees defeat them? It was unbelievable that the fungus could affect so many trees. Logically speaking, even if it could affect one or two trees, it couldn't affect so many trees … The Twisted Trees should have evolved a corresponding resistance. They had such a large body size and sufficient nutrients. If it infected a small organism, the fungus could quickly spread and kill it, but the huge Twisted Trees should have enough time to react and produce immune cells. Why couldn't they resist the fungus?
The fungus destroyed the internal structure of the Twisted Trees, making them unable to resist lightning. Although Lin Lin didn't know how they resisted lightning, it had already happened.
Lin Lin suddenly understood something.
'Compassion', Lin Lin felt when she was about to exterminate a species.
At first, Lin Lin thought it was just a hindrance that would prevent her from making normal decisions and fighting. Lin Lin thought it was just informing her of the enemy's situation.
But it seemed that compassion wasn't that simple. It also explained the consequences of exterminating a species.
So that was it? But it was too late to know that now.
The sound of giant trees breaking and falling could be heard all around. The flames on the wood emitted waves of heat that surrounded the Leviathan. Now, the Leviathan's vision was filled with burning scenes.
The word 'regret' appeared in Lin Lin's mind. This disaster seemed to be of her own making.
No, she wouldn't regret it. Since it was her own doing, she would stop it herself.
The Dark Plains were unaffected. It seemed that the fungus didn't spread there. The Chibucha insects' caves were mainly located under the Flickering Forest, and the flames didn't reach there either.
Then, there was still a chance …
Leviathan carefully looked at a piece of burning wood beside him. He saw that when some of the larger raindrops fell on the flames of the wood, the flames would instantly disappear, but they would soon ignite again.
As expected, water could make the fire disappear.
But the raindrops were too scattered, and each drop was too small. Was that why the fire couldn't be extinguished? Then what if there was a large amount of water?
The Leviathan cracked open the shell on its back. A large amount of rainwater gathered and was sucked into the Leviathan's body. The water eventually gathered at the mouth of the cannon in front of it.
Bang! A huge water ball was shot out of the muzzle and hit the burning wood in front of the Leviathan. The flames that were hit by the water ball instantly dissipated, leaving only wisps of green smoke.
So that's how it is. Water is really effective.
The Leviathan used the water cannon's attack to blast open a path in the flames. Using this method, it returned to the base.
Lin Lin didn't plan to extinguish the flames in the entire Flickering Forest. There were too many of them. Lin Lin's troops couldn't absorb water like the Leviathan could. If she wanted to modify them, she didn't know how long it would take.
After crossing the river and returning to the base, Lin Lin found the insectoid waiting at the entrance of the base. When it saw Lin, it let out an anxious and happy cry.
"Farr. Dry wood. Death. Leader. Alive. Cave."
Lin Lin now knew that 'Farr' seemed to be referring to the fire. The insectoid's meaning should be, "The fire on the dry wood will cause death. But the Leviathan, the leader, survived and returned to the cave.
It seemed that the insectoid was happy that the Leviathan survived.
Very interesting. What kind of strange thought is this? But Lin Lin had to study something else first.
The fungi.
The Leviathan returned to a cave in the cave that was specially used for decomposition and research. It began to study the fungi.
From the twisted tree trunk, Lin collected a lot of fungi. During the process of dissecting and researching them, she discovered that while these organisms could produce toxins and were highly lethal, it was still very simple for Lin to kill them.
However, there was no point in killing them. Lin Lin wanted the Twisted Tree or the moss to have the ability to kill the fungi. She couldn't help every Twisted Tree or moss kill the fungi.
And so, Lin Lin wanted to 'train' them. Lin Lin still had some moss that she collected from outside. The fungi inside had already been killed, but this moss didn't have the immune cells to defeat the fungi.
Lin Lin had to think of a way to make it produce immune cells. She only needed to put a small amount of the fungi inside the moss. They weren't harmful, but they could still cause the moss' immune system to react and eliminate them.
This way, she might be able to make the moss evolve and reproduce with other moss to create a new type of moss that wasn't afraid of the fungi. At that time, perhaps the Glittering Forest would once again be covered in moss. After that, Lin Lin would be able to experiment with the Twisted Tree.
A large evolution was a result of countless small evolutions.
Additionally, Lin Lin also wanted to study something special: Fire.
Fire was very special. Lin believed that it was born from lightning, but after the lightning disappeared, it would continue to burn and grow.
In other words, although the lightning provided it with the initial energy, it could use the wood as fuel to continue growing, which was very different from other substances.
