Chapter 43: The End of the River

Ten minutes later in the next chapter~

………………………………

Lynn didn't think long before letting Leviathan follow the school of helmet fish into the entrance of the river.

Of course, Leviathan doesn't have to care about salt or anything, because other creatures will constantly exchange various elements and nutrients with the water outside when they swim, so once there are strange changes in the water, they will not be able to stand it.

However, Leviathan does not have a system to directly exchange nutrients with water, although it has the ability to absorb and spray water, but this water does not pass through its own blood or other circulatory system, Leviathan relies on a small class to collect nutrients and food in water for itself, they are the evolutionary type of collectors, they can separate various harmful and harmless substances in the water in detail, and can also determine how much and which substance Leviathan itself needs now.

Other words...... When entering the river, ask the collectors to collect more salt and less water.

Leviathan swam deep with the school of helmetfish, there were very few creatures in the river, only a few small creatures were on the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and there were no predators here who could threaten the group of helmetfish.

Except for Lynn ......

Not knowing how long the helmetfish would have to swim, Lynn made an eye on Leviathan's back and let Leviathan float to the surface to observe the changes in the land.

Leviathan had never made an eyeball during this period of his life, and seemed to live purely by smell and touch, which Lynn found incredible.

The original scorching ultraviolet rays seemed to be harmless now, and even though the light of the day was still bright, the Leviathan did not feel anything when it came to the surface.

The land on either side of the river looked like large square boulders that obscured Lynn's view, but there were some green things standing on top of the rocks that looked like hard, thin tentacles with branched ends.

They seem to have officially climbed to the land, just like seaweed, these are the evolutionary types of photoeating cells, they take a completely different evolutionary route from common creatures, although they have a system similar to blood vessels, but they have never evolved the heart, muscles, brains and other organs, they can't move because they don't have muscles, they can only rely on water to propagate and reproduce cells, and they are slow to react to their surroundings, even so, they are no worse than other brain creatures.

They are almost entirely responsible for the production of oxygen, and although they are slow to react, they are able to respond to and develop strategies for those cerebral creatures that are quick and like to prey on them, which is quite amazing, and climbing onto land should also be one of the strategies to escape predators.

These creatures can already have another word to describe them ...... 'plants', which are quite different from the usual fast-moving 'animals'.

But Lynn herself has both plant and animal properties, which is really interesting.

The Leviathan had been following the helmet fish and had reached a special area.

The waterway ahead was blocked by a stone wall formed by huge stones, but this was not the end of the river, because the gaps between the boulders indicated that the river could continue to go up, but the stones somehow fell in the center of the river, interrupting the river.

The helmetfish were obviously not destined for this, but they were too big to fit through the cracks in the rocks, so they swam to the surface and jumped to the top of the exposed boulder.

Helmetfish swing their fins and bulky heads as they try to climb over the boulders that interrupt the river.

Why don't they just spawn here? Do you want to climb over?

Lin was a little puzzled by the helmet fish that kept jumping onto the boulder, but it also proved that ultraviolet rays were no longer lethal.

And what about Lynn? Do you want to jump on it too? Lynn looked at the Leviathan's life records, and now it didn't seem to have any land capabilities, and in the 100 million years it had lived, it hadn't come close to land.

However, Leviathan has had cases where he has fallen to land by accident, and Leviathan has crawled back into the sea alive, maybe he can go up and try it, even the helmet fish with only fins to move can crawl over, and there is no reason why Leviathan can't.

Thinking about this, Lynn made the Leviathan float to the surface, then slammed open the spout and leaped out, landing on the rocks.

Although the Leviathan now only has two tentacles, the suction cups on it provide great power, even if it drags its three-meter-long body to move on land.

Leviathan was surrounded by helmet fish that were trying to crawl, and there were still ten meters away from the distance where they could go into the water, although Leviathan was huge, but with the help of the suction cups, they could crawl faster than these helmet fish, and then, when Lin was halfway up, some monsters appeared in front of him......

The long oblate body was more than a meter long, with giant serrated pincers at the end of the forelimbs, and a curved tail with sharp hooks at the end, it was obvious that it was a carnivore, this creature came from an inconspicuous small arthropod, Lynn had seen them before, but she didn't expect them to be able to climb onto land by now.

They also have their own name, 'Broundo Scorpions'.

What a strange name, there are three of these scorpions, and it seems that they have been prepared to ambush the helmet fish here for a long time.

This can be dangerous......

The Brondu scorpion's head had a total of eight eyeballs, and Lynn didn't know how eyesight they were, but they were all clearly staring at the Leviathan.

Feeling like you're in trouble......

The Leviathan was huge, and these scorpions seemed to be a little afraid to rush forward at will, but they spread out very cooperatively, surrounding the Leviathan in three directions.

The Leviathan has no new troops to fight on land, but Lynn can still rely on the old methods to fight, and the Leviathan's troop ports are on both sides of the body and on the head, and it has no dead spots except for the tail.

Launch!

The explosive bomb with strong acid directly hit one of the scorpions in front of the Leviathan, and in pain, it twisted its body and retreated, while the two next to it directly bypassed the Leviathan and grabbed the nearby helmet fish.

It seems that they did not cooperate in the encirclement, but went separately from the beginning?

Lin didn't think too much about it, and took this opportunity to quickly climb into the water, even if it used the previous method of firing explosive bombs, it was still very troublesome to face three.

This is the spawning ground of the helmetfish, a wide circular body of water, which should be called a 'lake'.

After the Leviathan, there were also many helmet fish jumping into the lake one after another, and the few Brondo scorpions only caught a few at most, which could not prevent the helmet fish from coming here to lay eggs.

The schools of helmetfish swim to the bottom of the lake, where they dig a small pit with their head armor, each pair has its own pit, and then they begin to release a large number of cells.

One is round and large, about a centimeter in size, and the other is super small, with a tentacle-like little tail, only the size of an ordinary single cell, and there seem to be two words to describe their difference between 'male and female'.

It is the female that releases round cells, while the male that releases small cells, and the combination of male and female can create offspring with the advantages of both sides.

Helmet fish die after releasing cells, just like flat fish, and Lynn found that most creatures have a set lifespan, but unlike Lynn, they only occasionally break down older cells, and their lifespan will end for all cells in the whole individual, starting with the brain, and then slowly all the cells throughout the body will die automatically.

They are not attacked, they are not infected with the virus, it is all up to their own cells, and a creature can only live for a certain amount of time at most, and then they must die and give up their place to their offspring.

The lifespan of a flat fish is set to be about 10 years, although they may die earlier because of viruses or parasites, but in any case, they will never live for 10 years, because the cells in the body have already been determined to die at this time. Helmet fish, on the other hand, are more peculiar, they are set to die only after spawning, and they will not die before.

The carcasses of these helmetfish are not wasted, they become food for newborn small fish.

Lin didn't come here just to see them breed, she wanted to get a base here, so that she could study the difference between this place and the sea.

The base that Lynn now makes is very different from what it used to be, mainly a spherical center point thirty centimeters in diameter, which then extends to the green carpet and eventually covers the entire area.

The structure of the green carpet is also much simpler, mainly two layers of transparent shells, which contain photosynthetic cells and some small defensive units.

The green carpet doesn't have any effect on the helmetfish, and Lynn rarely attacks other creatures now, so it's much more valuable to watch them change than to eat them.

When the seed of the base was put down, Lin suddenly felt a special feeling......

This is......

The inside of the base has some tentacles with strong tactile ability, which is specially made by Lin in order to calculate the changes in the surrounding environment, and collects information such as submarine vibration and water temperature through guò, which can calculate what major changes in the environment will occur in the future, so that you can prepare in advance.

Lin felt a little ...... when she was in the seed of the base just now Weird feeling.
