Chapter 19: A Barren World
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The new group, called 'The Explorer', is half the size of the Guardian, with an oval body covered in a thin layer of armor, a carapace with many small holes for inhaling oxygen, two eyeballs on its head, lantern tentacles for lighting, and a small heart and blood vessels.
Around the body, there were a total of eight arthropod legs covering the carapace, and Lynn added joint parts similar to those of the round shield worm to these arthropods, plus the muscles that filled the arthropods allowed them to move quickly.
The purpose of the 'Explorers' is not to hunt or kill enemies, but to explore the world beyond the water!
Lynn loves to explore the unknown, and has had this idea since the last time she stumbled on the water, and after successfully creating the carapace, the idea was finally realized.
Instead of coming here during the day, Lynn chose a safer night, and although she had a carapace, Lynn would not know if she could withstand UV rays without water.
The explorer set off, and it climbed quickly in the direction of the uphill direction, which was mostly made of gravel, and it was very easy for the explorer to walk.
The surface of the water is still high in the night, so it is now invisible. But the lanterns that Lin made for the explorers were a little different, Lin made the ball of light no longer glow all over the body, but concentrated the luminous parts to one side, and aligned them together in one direction to form a lantern, and then covered them with shells on both sides of the lantern, so that the light they emitted could shine farther, and it could see the position of the water surface as long as the lantern tentacles were raised.
As the explorer moved uphill, the water surface was getting lower and lower, and the surrounding environment changed from the original gravel ground to small yellow-brown grains of sand, which was the first time Lynn had seen this color.
The explorer soon approached the junction between the water and the ground.
Just by walking there, Lynn was able to leave the water and step into the realm of gas.
There is a feeling called 'excitement'.
It seems that leaving the water is a very important thing, which is why it feels this way.
Lynn didn't think so, it thought it was just a new area to explore, Lynn didn't plan to go up, just to satisfy her 'curiosity', but why did she feel that way? Lynn didn't know.
Anyway, just keep doing it.
The explorer's body slowly surfaced as it walked, and Rin felt the sense of nothingness that belonged to the air realm again, and the light of the stars shone above the space, illuminating the path ahead for Lin.
This new world, which Lynn calls 'land', does not need a lantern, and the light of the stars can already make it see clearly.
'Land' is a barren place, covered in tawny debris and grains of sand, with nothing but the occasional boulder standing in it.
Kryn didn't stop.
The explorer took another step, and its arthropods left the water with its body, stepping into a new world.
Then, it fell.
After leaving the water, the gravitational pull seemed to increase in an instant, and it instantly dragged Lynn's explorer to the ground, immobilizing it.
The armor that Lynn made was designed to deal with this, but it seemed that the muscles still needed to be coordinated.
Thinking about it, it quickly repairs the muscles inside the arthropods, allowing the cells to divide and strengthen rapidly until it can hold up its body on gravitational land.
With the cells quickly repairing, the explorer quickly got back to its feet, and this time it wouldn't fall again.
The explorer moved the arthropods around his body and walked towards this barren world......
On land, cold air currents have replaced water currents, and they are more frequent than water, and they blow up the sand on the ground and hit the shells of the explorers, and Lynn has a word to describe them - 'wind'.
Lin found that water in this world, like gas in water, became a small round particle, as long as the wind blows, it can carry away countless water droplets, under the endless blowing of the wind, the explorer's originally wet shell soon becomes as dry as the sand under its feet.
Stepping into a new world, Lynn gets a lot of new words, but it's starting to feel ......
It's boring.
The explorer walks at a slower pace on land, but as far as the eye can see, there is an endless stretch of yellow sand, or the occasional large boulder.
Other than that, there was nothing, no multicellular organisms, no single-celled organisms, only yellow sand flying in the sky and howling cold winds, and although the starry sky in the sky was so beautiful, the land was so barren and empty.
Lynn's original curiosity and excitement about the land had almost disappeared, and it was not in the mood to pay attention to the new words that seemed interesting, but silently let the explorer go step by step.
There are no living creatures here, which means there is no food, and Lin even discovers a new problem, after the wind has dried the water from the explorer's shell, Lin can feel the water in the explorer's body slowly start to drain away.
They come out of some holes or small cracks in the shell, and then the air that blows through them turns into countless tiny droplets of water and disappears without a trace.
Lynn had lived in water for a long time, and she had never felt what it was like to lose it.
But now it is known, that symbolizes death.
Cells that lose water die instantly, and cracks in the carapace must be repaired.
Beneath the explorer's carapace is a large number of glandular cells, which can quickly secrete chitins to repair various cracks, and the carapace that Lin originally made was not so fully covered, but now it looks like it is completely covered.
Soon Lynn patched up all the cracks, leaving only two small holes for ventilation.
Lynn knew why there were no other creatures, because they couldn't live without water.
And in this barren world, there is simply nothing that attracts other creatures.
But Lynn didn't give up, and the explorer kept walking deeper into the land.
Looking back now, the sea is no longer visible, but the scenery around it is still the same, except for the sand and stones, which reminds Lin of her childhood.
At that time, it seemed to have a similar feeling, that is, 'water is water except water'.
The explorer's body has stored fat cells that can keep it on for a long time, but Lynn has begun to wonder the significance of the journey.
It's boring.
In the same environment, Lynn turned her attention upwards and noticed that the starry sky in the sky would change slowly, and those points of light would sometimes move slowly, and occasionally there would even be a ray of light that crossed the sky at high speed, but most of the points of light generally remained still.
After ascending to land, Lynn realized that the starry sky was quite far away from her, and perhaps she had to swim in the air like water to get close to them.
That'...... It's too difficult.
At this moment, a somewhat different object appeared in front of the explorer.
Dune.
Sand dunes are often seen on the sandy beaches in the water, and Lynn usually doesn't pay much attention to them, but the dunes on land should provide Lynn with more views.
The explorer climbed up and looked out into the distance from the top of the dune.
Sure enough, until the end of the field of vision, there was still a cloud of dust.
This kind of place really doesn't make any sense at all.
Lynn didn't want to go anymore, and she made the explorer lie on the sand dune, looking up at the starry sky above.
Lin found that all the points of light in the starry sky would move, and as the starry sky continued to change, the light of the surrounding environment would also change.
Slowly, the surroundings began to brighten, and the starry sky in the sky slowly disappeared.
They are all obscured by the light of 'day'.
Daylight has come.
As her surroundings were completely enveloped in daylight light, Lynn felt the temperature in the air rise noticeably, and the extremely strong ultraviolet rays rushed through the joints of the explorer's arthropods and the air holes on its body, destroying the cells in its body at a rapid speed.
As the daylight brightens, its ultraviolet rays can even penetrate the explorer's outer shell, and the cells inside are dying out rapidly.
The next moment, the explorer died, and Lynn's overland journey ended.
Let's go back......
The carrier, which was in the shallows, slowly twisted its body and swam into the deep sea.
What a trip...... A pointless journey.
