Chapter 1: Daylight in the New World
The huge green pinnacles were densely arranged in front of Lynn, and the space between them was just right for the Leviathan to get through, but the large heads of the worms were inaccessible.
Lynn barely paused, and the rest of the transporter and Leviathan burrowed into the pillar as fast as they could, at which point the tentacles of the eyeballs on Leviathan's back glanced behind them.
In the thick fog, a huge worm suddenly burst out, and it opened its huge mouth to aim at the Leviathan and rushed towards it, but halfway through, its head was stuck between the spikes.
Leviathan dropped a small eyeball and continued to observe, then ran with the transporters into the depths of the Pinnacle Forest.
Lynn was able to take a closer look at the worm again this time, what kind of creature was it? It writhed desperately, trying to retract, but the barbs on its carapace held it.
Maybe this creature didn't come up from the sea, but probably originally came from the land?
Looking at the struggling worms, Lynn had a lot of questions, how many of them really were? Why have the ability to mask your own scent? How long is it on its own? It seems to be very flexible......
These questions won't be solved until Lynn has the ability to kill a worm.
The worm struggled for a long time before retracting into the fog.
…… Gave up? The eyeballs kept watching that there were no more worms rushing out of the thick fog, and Lin was a little relieved.
Leviathan and the Transporter are now located in the depths of the 'Needle Forest', which is surrounded by huge pinnacles nearly 100 meters high and more than three meters in diameter, and their surfaces are covered with a layer of green, which on closer inspection is made up of countless soft and flat things.
It must be a plant-like creature, but the land plants that Lin had seen before were only a meter tall at most, and they were very thin, so they could grow so big here?
No, the pinnacles may have been very tall boulders that the plants just stuck to and then multiplied and covered the whole boulder, and then modified them for a long time with methods such as dissolving liquids, and transformed the boulders into these bifurcated pinks.
But...... These environments, creatures, Lynn had never seen before, and this was a new world entirely.
Now that the rocky ground was once full of fish corpses and scorpions has been taken over by worms, it is impossible for Lynn to go back, and she does not know when the sea will recover, and she must live a new life on this continent......
Not knowing what kind of creatures would be there, or what kind of danger would be, Lynn hadn't really adapted to life on land.
And now, there are only two transporters left, and the others are all killed in the attack of the worms......
In the face of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, is there only so little left in the end?
While the damage may not be high compared to other creatures, Lynn thinks it has made many mistakes, the biggest of which is that the distance to explore is too short.
If we had explored the Existence of the Northern Continent a long time ago, perhaps the loss would have been much smaller.
The spirit of exploration cannot be interrupted...... But it is also necessary to build a base.
However, it is only the loss of nutrients, and it does not matter much, as long as the information of evolution and the memory of research are well preserved.
Lynn will grow again to be immense, on this new continent! This time, we have to go into the air!
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but look upwards, when suddenly a flying creature appeared, and it swept through the pinnacle forest at a very fast speed, flying into the distance.
Flying creatures?
Lynn was instantly attracted to it, but the creature moved too fast and disappeared into the Pillar Forest in an instant.
For its escape, Lin did not feel sorry, but had a lot of confidence, it seems that it is not only jellyfish that can float in the air, if there are many of them, then Lin will catch one sooner or later.
Well, the light is not very good here, so let's go to an open place first, unfold the transporter, and spread out the green carpet.
The floor of the Pinnacle Forest is composed of very soft small granular components, mixed with gravel and various plant detritus, and there is a word to describe it - 'earth'.
It seems to be a very peculiar thing, and if the water seeps in, it is not easy to be blown away by the wind.
Leviathan walked around the Pinnacle Forest with two transporters, and Lynn didn't know where to go, so she was just heading in the opposite direction to the cliff.
After a while, Lin finally saw a slightly empty area, which was about six meters in diameter, but the ground was not dirt, but some yellow gravel, and the light of the day shone on the sand, reflecting a dazzling light.
There's plenty of light here.
On land, sand and gravel seem to be a symbol of dryness, just like when Lynn set foot on land 100 million years ago, and it was almost everywhere, so there would be no living creatures on it?
The soil stores a lot of water, and when it comes to land, this water is very important, after all, without water, cells can't move.
Lynn didn't care, because it could get water from somewhere else, unlike slow-moving plants.
Lynn walked the transporter to the center of the gravel, and the transporter lay on the sand to unload the appendages as he slowly began to melt the shell of his lower body.
This is a method that Lynn came up with to grow on land, and when she melts the carapace, she quickly piles the cells outside, dividing and growing constantly, because on land, the outermost cells need to have the ability to prevent water from escaping, but they also have to be soft enough to grow, until the whole area is covered, and then they start to create a transparent hard shell.
This process is a bit dangerous, and because of the ease of attack, Lynn doesn't know what dangerous creatures are here.
But for now, Lynn hasn't seen any creatures on land, except for plants.
The transporter began to spread a green blanket around its body, which slowly grew and covered the sand, while the terrestrial green carpet had only two thin transparent shells protecting the moisture and photosynthetic cells inside.
With the spread of the green carpet, the transporter's body began to slowly suffocate, and finally its body disappeared completely after covering the green carpet with a diameter of six meters, and the green carpet that a transporter can make is far more than that, but after all, there is only such a large position here, Lin had to let the cells squeeze it, and make the green carpet thicker, rather than keeping such a conspicuous transporter, Lin would prefer to turn them into a green carpet quickly.
Usually those powerful predators will ignore plants, on the contrary, those who love to eat plants will not hunt, and plant-eating creatures usually have little attack power, they can't bite the hard shell of the green carpet, so quickly laying out the green carpet is also a guarantee of survival.
Once the space was full, Leviathan led another transporter to the depths of the Pinnacle Forest.
The Pinnacle Forest seemed to be quite large, but this was also due to the fact that the Leviathan walked much slower on land than in the water, and the Leviathan walked in the woodland for a long time, and did not see the clearing again.
Strangely, Lynn still hadn't seen any creatures come out of the way.
Are there only plants on land? But creatures like the Brondo scorpion should be able to live entirely on land with a little effort, although they don't seem to eat plants.
And those worms, are they land or sea creatures? Either way, sooner or later, Lynn would go back and kill one to study.
As the day drew away, Leviathan paused, looking at the massive spikes, and Lynn had the idea of whether or not to let the green carpet cover it.
But the cover is so high...... I don't know if there will be any problems, but if the pressure is too great, the shell may crack, but what if you don't make a shell like a normal plant? Then it will be eaten by other creatures, and it will have to get a lot of other means of defense, which feels very troublesome......
However, if there really are very few creatures on this land...... You can give it a try.
Just as Lynn was thinking this, a small creature suddenly emerged from the ground in front of Leviathan, with a flat body with six arthropods around its body and tentacles on its head.
The creature came out and ran away at great speed, and soon disappeared.
Are there some small creatures?
Instead of trying to chase it, Lynn had Leviathan and the transporter leaning under a spike, Lynn wouldn't move in a strange place in the night, it had to wait for the night to pass.
Just when the light of day completely disappeared and darkness fell, many wonderful sensations came from the surrounding woodland......
