Chapter 13: Before the Storm

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Lynn stayed quietly on the beach, observing the strange scene.

First, the leafworms spew out a large number of cells in their bodies, which then fuse together in a wonderful way, and then a group of disc creatures with long tentacles are attracted to these cells.

Lin was puzzled, why did the leaf worms spray so many cells into the water? Wouldn't that be expensive? It attracts so many strange creatures.

Those strange frisbee-like creatures, Lin didn't want to mess with them, but planned to observe the situation first, after preliminary calculations, these disc-shaped creatures should be very easy to deal with, their disc bodies must be soft, Lin saw that their bodies could quickly expand and contract to swim, although there were many tentacles, they were very thin, and their strength was definitely not large.

But these creatures are very numerous, they swim in the cell colonies ejected by the leaf insects, and the tentacles on their bodies are constantly stretching and contracting, as if they are coiling their prey into their bodies.

'Jellyfish'.

The new word that appeared in her mind meant that these frisbee creatures with tentacles seemed to be called this, and she was not satisfied, but Lin didn't have to think of a new name.

Lynn was wondering if she would attack the jellyfish, and if they were good to deal with, they would have another source of food.

At this moment, Lin suddenly noticed that the light around her slowly became dim.

This is...... Night? Are you coming? Lynn had almost forgotten that there was such a thing as night, because it had never been to the night since she woke up from the oxygen crisis, but it was true that this night was much slower than it had been, I don't know why?

Falling into the dark was not a good thing, the flash balls were too small to illuminate the entire aircraft carrier, and because it had never been a dark night, Lynn didn't make too many flash balls.

Lin first asked the surrounding green-cell cultivators to return to the carrier, and then let the guardians and the carrier stay together in the sand, ready to face the darkness.

As the light around them dimmed, the floating jellyfish slowly showed a blue glow, and they even lit up the waters as the surroundings grew darker.

Isn't it beautiful...... Is there some connection between them and photobacteria?

The word 'beauty' hadn't come to Lynn's mind for a long time, and she watched the swarm of glittering jellyfish float through the water, when suddenly she saw a jellyfish float over and approach the location of the carrier and the guardian.

Do you want to attack or not?

The glittering jellyfish swam in the sand in front of Lynn, and it would be quite easy for Lynn to attack it, and the only thing Lynn was worried about now was that if she attacked this one, would the jellyfish on it attack in groups?

Just as Lynn hesitated, the jellyfish suddenly changed direction and floated over, and it didn't look like it was about to attack, but it slowly swam past Lynn's carrier, but its tentacles gently brushed a small piece of the carrier's skin.

It hurts!

Lynn felt a strong pain in the cortex that was touched spread between the cells, and even began to enter the blood vessels that connected the cortex!

Is this a virus? No, it doesn't seem quite the same? Should be...... Venom? In short, it must be interrupted urgently!

Lynn let out a strong thought, causing all the cells around the pain point to die on their own, stopping the heart from beating, and the invaded blood vessel breaking in an instant, preventing the venom from going deeper.

Lynn didn't feel any more pain, it worked very well in emergency response, and then Lynn temporarily blocked the section of the blood vessel, and her heart began to beat again, and then the phagogue was dispatched to see the injured part of the cortex.

This is...... Spanidocytes?

The phagoguls found a large number of cells stuck to the necrotic cortex, and they all had a hole in their body, and in this hole there was a silk thread, and the tip of the silk thread was a needle puncture, which was inserted into Lynn's cortex, as if they were injecting venom into it.

The venom is transmitted from cell to cell according to the nutrient sharing structure of the cells, but as long as Lynn stops the surrounding circle of cells, they can't pass it on.

Fortunately, only a small piece of cortical cells was damaged, and this small injury was very simple to repair, but even if it continued to spread, the venom would become more and more sparse, and eventually it would become a process that could not kill cells, after all, it was not a virus that could keep growing.

However, Lynn was sure to kill the jellyfish now.

The jellyfish is still nearby, and it didn't swim far, so let the guardians try it first, Lin also wants to see if this resurrected front round shield worm is good or not, and in case it is attacked by the other party, its hard shell can probably protect it.

Thinking about it, Lin asked the guardian to crawl over slowly, and when it crawled under the jellyfish, Lin noticed a problem.

The Guardian couldn't pincer the jellyfish floating in the water, for the simple reason that its joints couldn't bend upwards.

Well, forget it, let's just do it.

Lin sent the carrier swim towards the target, and slammed directly into the jellyfish's disc-shaped body.

The battered jellyfish spewed a large bubble, and its body was also knocked out and landed on the beach not far away.

Lynn immediately sent the Guardian to rush forward, grabbing the jellyfish's tentacles with her pincers before it could swim again, and then pressed it all over, tearing its body apart.

It's pretty simple, and the jellyfish around them don't make any movement as Lin thought, and they don't seem to know that a companion has been killed here, which means that there shouldn't be any communication between them.

Lynn unleashes a large number of devourers, and Lynn plans to see the structure inside the jellyfish before eating it.

The devourers approached the jellyfish, and upon closer inspection, Lin found that their tentacles were densely packed with holes, each with a spiked cell, which made Lin almost feel a little frightened, and if she had been touched by a large number of tentacles just now, Lin might have to take off the entire carrier cortex.

Could Lynn be able to use her stinger cells like this? However, Lynn's stinging cells are not as penetrating, much worse than Jellyfish's, so Lynn hasn't used them for a long time.

It was the first time that Lynn had encountered a single cell that could penetrate the carrier's cortex, and although they were multicellular organisms, it seemed that the cortex would have to be hardened again, such as the carapace of the Guardian.

The internal structure of the jellyfish is quite simple, there is no vascular structure, only some sacs, these pouches are also covered with tentacles with needle puncture cells, Lin found that these tentacles will also secrete lytic fluid, it is estimated that this kind of pouch is used to decompose food, other than that, there is no complicated structure, and the super complication of starfish is simply too far apart.

But on the contrary, it is a simple jellyfish, and creatures such as leaf insects are so much larger than starfish, why?

Is it only simple that you can grow bigger? However, the Round Shield Worm is also very large, and it should be complicated.

…………

The jellyfish were eaten up by Lynn except for the part that had stinging cells, and by this time the surroundings had completely darkened, and in this water, except for the bright light of the jellyfish, the rest of the water was pitch black.

Lynn kept an eye on her surroundings, but luckily there weren't any jellyfish floating over, and it had repaired the wounds in the cortex and had some cells swallow a small amount of residual venom in an attempt to make them evolve into resistant individuals.

The jellyfish seemed to have eaten up almost all the cells ejected by the leafworms, and Lynn noticed that their numbers were slowly decreasing, and many of them swam into the distance.

With each missing jellyfish, the surroundings darkened until they were all gone, and Lynn could no longer see any light or objects.

It's pure darkness, I don't think I've felt it in a long time...... Looks like we do have to make a big glow combo.

"Goo......

Suddenly, there was an unusual vibration in the water.

What is that?

A sensation came from Lynn's perceptual tentacles, and the fluctuations in the water changed significantly, and it felt like ...... Something massive was shaking.

In the shaking of the water, there were countless small vibrations, and Lynn knew that it should be the feeling of the sand being turned up, could it be some kind of creature emerging from the sand?

No, it's the surrounding sand that's shaking!

Lynn hesitated, then let the carrier slowly swim upwards, but the defenders who could not swim had to stay on the beach.

The Guardian has no eyes, but has detection tentacles, so it can feel vibrations in the water.

The tremors throughout the beach began to become more and more noticeable, as if something was about to happen.
