Chapter 24: Lava and Madness
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A large faint light flickered in the darkness, and Lynn's detector 'warhead', slowly crawling, approached the strange light source.
But when the warhead approached the target, the light suddenly disappeared.
What's going on?
The light emitted by the warhead itself is not bright enough to illuminate only a small area, making it impossible to see the surrounding situation.
Maybe it's a jellyfish or something?
As Lynn thought so, the light lit up again in the distance, but this time it was a different light, scarlet, and much brighter.
Lynn felt the water temperature around her rise noticeably, and she sent the warhead towards a new glow, and as it approached its target, it saw a strange scene.
The dark goo, covering a large area in front of them, exudes a hot feeling, in the goo, occasionally see a crack or two, from the scarlet light from the crack, although the crack is not large, its light is enough to illuminate the surrounding environment.
Is that...... Lava?
However, unlike what I have seen before, the lava here seems to be fixed, turning gray and not moving, but it still exudes extremely high temperatures.
The fissures that glowed red may have unsolidified lava inside......
Many single-celled organisms are active on the solidified lava, and they don't seem to be afraid of the heat.
Lynn didn't let the warhead step on the lava, and it didn't think the warhead could withstand such temperatures.
Lynn was a little hesitant, a little wanted to continue looking here, and also wanted to bypass the lava and explore deeper trenches.
Suddenly, Lynn felt a vibration in the warhead's field of vision, and felt a pull pull the warhead back, and before it could see what was going on, the warhead's body was crushed by a tremendous pressure.
It's the feeling of being bitten by something, something sneaking up on the warhead from behind.
It's a bit of a pity, but that's the end of the trench tour...... Is it?
Lynn wouldn't think so!
Leviathan floated to the center of the trench, aiming exactly at the place where the warhead died.
Leviathan flipped over and opened the troop opening, and a large number of bullets suddenly erupted at the same time, heading deeper into the trench.
There are hundreds of these warheads, all of which were made by Leviathan.
This is one of the characteristics of the Leviathan, it has multiple reproduction chambers in its body, and it can form a large number of multicellular individuals in an instant, which is very convenient for both attack and other things.
The warheads quickly sank into the depths of the trench, and although Lynn fired them at the center of the trench, most of them ended up near the rock wall.
Lynn immediately asked them to gather in the direction they had previously seen, and when the warheads reached the spot where they had just seen the lava, they also discovered what kind of creature had eaten the original warhead.
The creature was bright red and flat, and its entire square body lay out on the ground like a ...... Red carpet.
What is a carpet?
No matter how much it is, let's call it a 'blanket bug'. Could it be that this creature has just eaten a warhead?
Lynn couldn't see where its mouth was, it didn't have tentacles on its body or anything, and she couldn't understand how the creature hunted.
Anyway, let's kill it first.
Lynn sent hundreds of bullets rushing in, purpose-made for battle, arthropods with sharp, blade-like structures at the ends.
The warheads crawled onto the body of the blanket worm and scraped a mark on it with a knotted blade, and the cells of the blanket worm suddenly flowed out of the wound in large quantities, and the painful blanket worm's whole body kept wriggling, but did not make any effective struggle, Lin then let the bullet burrow into the wound and destroy the structure inside.
The blanket worm suddenly writhed and swam quickly through the water with its flattened body, heading towards the top of the trench.
Lynn told the warheads to stop attacking, and it felt as if the blanket worm was not acting to get rid of the warhead, but for some other purpose.
The blanket worm kept swimming upwards at such a fast speed that it quickly swam out of the deepest lightless band of the trench, and it was hard for Lynn to imagine that fast a creature of this shape could be.
However, after leaving the matte band, the speed of the blanket worm began to slow down, and finally slowly stopped its activity completely.
Just as Lin was wondering, the blanket worm's body suddenly exploded entirely, turning into countless cells and fragments.
This is...... Stress issues, right?
Lin understood almost instantly, because the body was very tight in the high-pressure environment, and the tightened body would open violently when it swam to the low-pressure environment, and the whole body would explode.
But why does it do that? Why does it swim up from the bottom of the high-pressure trench?
Even if it hurts a bullet, it can't be, and the pain should be a signal for life to avoid danger, not to make life crazy.
Leviathan swam to the Blanket Bug's burst, retrieved all the warheads, and began to study the Blanket Worm's fragments.
The warhead's body is filled with water to resist the pressure, but at low pressure they can open several small holes in the shell to quickly release water and suck in bubbles in the water, so that they not only do not explode, but also float up for the Leviathan to recover.
This is......
Lynn found a lot of something familiar to her on the body fragments of the blanket worm - viruses.
It's not an ordinary virus, but it's exactly the same kind as Lynn's 'infected', and the bright red viruses in her body.
Bright red virus is widely found in the cells of the blanket worm and various structures and organs of the body, so is the blanket worm red? But instead of harming the cell, the virus drove it crazy?
Lynn found a lot of viruses on the ganglia that the blanket worm hadn't exploded yet, which may be the reason why it went crazy......
Lynn has now suddenly noticed that 'crazy' seems to be a new word that refers to abnormal behavior, right?
But this hasn't happened to Lynn infected, and Lynn has been quiet for them.
This seems to have research value......
Lynn could get some other creatures to see how they reacted to the virus, like ...... Really fun.
Is it just fun? No, maybe it's a weapon to destroy the opponent, but Lin can directly inject the virus into those ganglionic creatures, so that the opponent should completely lose their combat power.
And these viruses don't damage the cells, so they can be used to defeat the opponent without wasting nutrients.
All in all, this is a useful study......
Lynn only explored a small area of the entire trench, and there should be more interesting things down there, but it was difficult to see clearly if she relied on a small, slow-moving class like the 'warhead', but Lynn didn't want to make the whole Leviathan a pressure-resistant type, it was too troublesome, and she had to change it back after leaving the trench.
Just as Lin was distressed, an abnormal vibration suddenly came from the water below, and a huge amount of black substance suddenly poured out of the trench, instantly enveloping Leviathan's entire body.
These black substances contain strange ingredients that can damage cells in the body if inhaled.
Lin hurriedly closed all entrances to Leviathan's body, and swam with tentacles paddling to leave the area covered in black matter.
Lynn looked back and saw that most of the trench was bubbling with this black substance.
That's something called 'smoke'.
But the smoke seemed to be gas, but it wasn't gas, mostly small debris and other odd things that had no effect on Lynn's carapace, but could cause fatal damage to the cells lining the inner wall of the suction pipe.
These smoke ...... Seems to have something to do with lava?
