Chapter 5: The Eve of Darkness
The Stormtroopers watched from the dunes as the desert scorpion was besieged by dragonflies, waiting for the Leviathan to arrive.
The desert was quite hot, not as lethal as warm water, but it also prevented the Leviathan from moving around quickly, and moving too quickly would make the body temperature too high, and Lynn felt the need to study a structure to lower the temperature.
By the time the Leviathan reached the dunes, the desert scorpion was almost dying, and the dragonflies no longer dodged, but lay on the scorpion's body and sucked the wounds on their carapaces.
Lin found that the dragonflies were just huddled in the wound and did not have the ability to create more wounds, and it seemed that the scorpion was attacked and injured by other creatures, and the dragonfly was just attacking there......
Anyway, it's a good chance, if you can catch those dragonflies......
But by the time Leviathan had taken a few steps, the dragonflies had already flown away, and their eyeballs seemed to be able to see quite widely, making it difficult to sneak up.
As a result, Lynn used a tactic that had never been used before ā changing colors.
Lynn knew how to make all kinds of pigments when she synthesized the photosynthetic cells, and she can now easily change her color, but the Leviathan's carapace is cellless, so it needs to get a new class.
'The Invisible'.
This disc-shaped, 30-centimeter-diameter class has a ring of eyes around its body, which can observe its surroundings, change its color to the same as its surroundings at any time, and crawl with the small limbs underneath it.
Leviathan placed the created Invisibility on the ground, and it instantly changed the color of the surrounding desert, and every grain of sand was perfectly painted by the pigment cells, and if you covered the body with this color, you would not be able to tell that it was a living thing.
The invisible one's eye can see in every direction, and it can change color at any time to face different environments.
It slowly climbed down the sand dunes and approached the dragonflies that were eating desert scorpions.
The dragonflies didn't notice the Invisible, and as Lin thought, they didn't have a good sense of smell and hearing if they were often flying high in the air.
The Invisible slowly approached the corpse of the desert scorpion, only ten meters away from the closest dragonfly on the scorpion's back.
It continues to close the distance...... Five meters, three meters...... Two meters.
Within range!
The center of the Invisible's disc suddenly opened, and from it shot a pointed needle full of barbs, which instantly pierced into the dragonfly's slender tail.
Caught it!
The dragonfly was startled and suddenly began to struggle, and all the dragonflies around it flew into the air in fright, but only the dragonfly that was stabbed could not fly.
The needle punctures shot by the Invisibles have a flexible thread made up of muscle cells that connects to the body, so the dragonfly can only pull this thread and struggle in the air.
Just as Lynn thought, the dragonfly weighs so light that even a 30-centimeter invisible person can hold it and prevent it from flying.
The hooked dragonfly struggled frantically, but to no avail, and its strength was completely unable to pull the invisible one up, until it ran out of strength and landed limply on the ground.
Leviathan descended the dune and released the Collector to begin breaking down the dragonfly.
In this way, you can fly.
During the decomposition process, collectors can also study the various structures of living things at the same time, and Lynn is concerned with the transparent structures on both sides of the dragonfly, which can be called 'wings', like fins, which are used to flap the air to fly.
I see, it's almost exactly the same as swimming in the water, you just need to be lighter to be able to fly.
It's pretty simple, I should have thought of it earlier.
Dragonflies don't have a 'lung' structure, and like Lynn they rely on small pores to absorb oxygen, so it seems that there is no problem with oxygen when living in the air.
So build one now and give it a try.
Lynn began to combine various cells in the Leviathan's body, and Lynn now has quite a lot of cells, more than hundreds, and the number is more than 200 billion, most of which were evolved by the Leviathan in 100 million years, so now it is quite easy for Lynn to imitate other creatures.
Just as the Leviathan was combining, there was a sudden sound next to it, and the desert scorpion that Lin thought was a 'corpse' suddenly moved.
Aren't you dead yet? After being injured so much, and lying on such a hot desert and being bitten by dragonflies for so long, this endurance is really strong
The desert scorpion struggled to prop itself up with its arthropod legs, and it turned, staring at the Leviathan and the pile of dragonflies that were breaking down beneath the Leviathan.
The desert scorpion and the Leviathan are very close in size, Lin doesn't think it will attack now, Lin herself will not want to attack this seriously injured creature, if you don't fight with the energetic creature, you can't achieve YĆ n strength at all, if you want nutrients, Leviathan is now overweight, and it will have to go back and convert some excess nutrients into a green carpet.
But this desert scorpion is funny, it doesn't run away or fight, it just looks at Leviathan there.
The collector simply disintegrated the dragonfly's wings, and Lin threw the remaining dragonfly body in front of the desert scorpion, then collected all the troops and turned and walked in the direction of the Pinnacle Forest.
Back at the Pinnacle Forest, Lin felt the surrounding area cool down, as if the row of pinnacles was keeping the desert heat out forever.
In the cool environment of the Pinnacle Forest, Lin continued to construct a flying class, because for the first time, Lin did not build too complicated things, the flying class it constructed was almost exactly the same as the dragonfly, but it was very small, only ten centimeters long, and the structure of the body only had a set of cardiovascular circulatory system, which was quite light, and the structure of the wings was mainly a layer of hardened clear cells, and the roots were controlled by muscle cells, which could swing up and down.
Lynn placed the little 'flyer' on the ground, and then learned to swing its four wings at a very fast rate like a dragonfly.
ā¦ā¦ Can't fly.
Lynn kept swinging her wings, but her body was just dangling there, and she couldn't rise at all.
Lynn then asked the Leviathan to grab the flyer, toss it into the air, and began to swing its wings desperately, but only spun in the air before hitting the ground.
If you don't swing, you can glide for some distance, but eventually you will fall back to the ground.
Maybe it's the wrong swinging posture.
Lynn recalls the way dragonflies swing their wings, which is really special, they can swing their wings according to a certain pattern, rather than shooting randomly.
This kind of thing about technique is not something that can be learned, and Lynn has to practice it herself.
This is very simple, Lin makes more flyers, let them keep swinging their wings in different positions, and sooner or later one of them will fly.
So let's roll out the green carpet first.
Leviathan already had too many nutrients in his body, so Lynn compressed some of the nutrients and formed a green carpet seed, and placed this seed under the pinnacle, so that it could grow slowly, eat up the moss on the pinnacle, and instead of covering it on the pinnacle to absorb the nutrients.
The green carpet that Lynn had made with the transporter had already covered half of the pinnacle, and no creatures had been found to eat the green carpet, and if this method was indeed correct, Lin would have them cover the entire Pinnacle Forest.
Moss secretes a toxin to defend itself, but it doesn't work, and Lynn easily isolates it.
After putting out the green carpet, Lynn was going to start preparing for the night.
The daylight here is not devoid of life, but it is also quite rare, and Lin has encountered a few after a long time, which is completely incomparable to the abundance of creatures in the sea.
But at night...... It's hard to predict.
Those small arthropods were probably the first to appear, and in order to deal with them, Lynn prepared a number of troops, which were called 'Spikes', which were specially modified from the attack habits of those arthropods.
Now, just wait for the night to fall......
