Chương 252: Chapter 251 Reaper
The Reaper quickly circled around the entire island. On this island, in addition to gravel and rocks, there were only skeletons.
The entire island was obviously hit by a storm. All the skeletons, wreckage, and other things were blown away, but some of them were still intact. Most of the skeletons were reptiles, and some were the carapaces of arthropods. Among them, the largest reptile skeleton was about three meters long. Only its tail was left, but it could still be seen that this large reptile was very good at swimming in water.
In addition, there were many small arthropods. Their corpses were everywhere on the island. This should be caused by the storm, but some of them were still alive. They were piled up among various skeletons, gnawing on the nutrients that had not been consumed.
These creatures should have gathered on this island in large numbers. Obviously, they came from the previous island. They tried to hide here to avoid the danger. Obviously, the danger was not the storm, but they did so to get closer to the storm.
And Lin speculated that they might have died before the storm. There was no other reason, but they basically starved to death or died of lack of water …
Most land creatures can't filter the salt in the sea. Generally speaking, after drinking seawater, they must secrete 150% of the amount of freshwater in their body to solve the problem. So the more they drink seawater, the worse it will be.
They have been here for a long time. It was just a coincidence that they encountered the storm, but the strange thing is that no creature tried to return to the original island. They would rather die in this barren place.
Or were they waiting for an opportunity, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't even have the stamina? Lin must figure out why this is. She won't leave this place until she figures it out.
However, the brain worm can't read the memories of the small arthropods that are still alive here. Their nervous system is relatively simple. So …
What is that?
The Reaper, who was observing back and forth above the island, suddenly saw something strange under a rock on the island.
What is hidden there?
The Reaper instantly accelerated and slammed into the rock. With a loud bang, the rock was suddenly knocked away, revealing a black structure under the rock.
What the hell is this? The Reaper flew to the black structure and carefully observed it. Lin found that it seems to be a crustacean …
Is there a large creature buried here? It seems to be a rather large arthropod.
The Reapers themselves were not suitable for digging or investigating, so Lin had ten Bombers fly here because the distance was very close. A few hundred seconds later, the Bombers arrived at the island. At the same time, the Bombers brought with them some digging worm-type troops. They began to dig around the shell that was exposed on the ground.
The thing buried under the ground was motionless, and … after Lin dug away the sand around the crustacean, she found more crustacean.
It seemed to be a very large creature. Lin ordered the worms to continue digging. After digging a diameter of more than ten meters, Lin discovered that there were completely black shells under the sand.
Could it be …
Lin had Reaper immediately fly to the edge of the island and enter the sea. Reaper could move and breathe in the sea. After entering the sea, Lin saw the bottom structure of the island. Beneath the island was not a rock structure, but a large pile of thick limbs.
Each limb was more than ten meters long. Rows of fur grew out from their sides, seemingly for paddling. These limbs were connected to a huge carapace, and this carapace was the size of the entire island.
In other words, this island is a huge … arthropod? There is an animal that is bigger than the Hometree?
Lin ordered the worms on the island to drill into the carapace on the island. Lin found that the carapace was very thick, and there were many small holes on it. But with the strong dissolving liquid, Lin's worms still managed to drill in.
Inside the carapace was a dark space, but just like the creature, it was filled with organs and blood, but they were not moving …
Is this creature dead? Indeed, the limbs that Lin saw underwater were all motionless.
But Lin seemed to have guessed something.
More exploration was needed. The worms continued to move through the creature's body, inspecting this huge creature. At the same time, the Bombers began to devour the corpses on the island, creating more worms to join the observation.
It took a long time to search for a creature that was 200 meters long and 100 meters wide. When it was close to night, Lin finally finished exploring. This creature, or rather this group of creatures, was called 'Traveler' by Lin.
It was indeed not a creature, but a huge group of creatures. The Traveler's body shape was somewhat like a relatively flat and round beetle. Their bodies were about ten meters long and three meters tall. Each of them had eight limbs for paddling or hunting. Their internal organs were similar to marine arthropods like trilobites, but their biggest feature was that their carapace was connected to each other, and their esophagus was also connected to each other. This was a very strange way of life. They probably floated around the sea like this, eating plankton to survive.
But because of this, they formed a huge island. The sand on the island seemed to have been brought up by them. Lin noticed a small hole in the carapace on their back. They probably sprayed all kinds of debris they collected in the sea on their back, probably for camouflage. Moreover, there was a relatively thick layer that had not been completely blown away by the previous storm. Lin did not know what had happened to the rocks on the carapace.
When the Traveler approached the island, the creatures on the island might have fled onto its back. But for some reason, the Traveler had died, and the creatures on its back were also trapped. They could only die of hunger or thirst.
So that was the case. The creatures did not flee into the sea to seek death, but to take the Traveler. Perhaps the Traveler would reach another island or even a continent, where they could then land.
But until now, they still did not know why the creatures wanted to flee. If only …
There was a living one!
The Bomber who was floating around the island suddenly noticed a lizard crawling out from behind a skeleton!
This lizard seemed to be of the same species as the Sound Lizard. It was currently lying on the ground, as if its physical strength had reached its limit, but it was still alive.
It was good that it was not dead.
The Bombers immediately flew over, picked it up with their limbs, and quickly flew back to the original island. Floating astronomy.
