Chapter 6: The Mystery of the Pinnacle Forest
Darkness is slowly covering the jungle, and the creatures that hide everywhere are ready to move, and the night is the place where they live.
Why they evolved so dependent on darkness is unknown, but Lynn is ready to face the creatures here.
While waiting, Lin released some stormtroopers to observe the Pinnacle Forest, and estimated the size of the area, from the rocky field near the cliff in the south, to the desert in the north is only a fairly short distance, Lin then tried to go east and west, it found that the Pinnacle Forest is probably a small place with a circumference of only tens of kilometers, and beyond it is either a desert or a dry rocky land, and there are quite few creatures, during Lin's time, only some small reptiles were seen.
But the most peculiar thing is that the entire Pinnacle Forest is surrounded by a row of particularly tall Pinnacles.
Lin remembered the flat fish that built the megalithic circle 100 million years ago.
Lynn was now convinced that this pinnacle forest could also have been built by some creature, not moss, but some large clustered animals.
They have built a small world of their own on the barren land, so what kind of creatures are they? It may only appear in the dark.
Such creatures may have a high level of intelligence before they can come up with such a solution.
As for whether it is strong or not, it is not necessarily, intelligence is usually not linked to strength, in the water, the creature with the highest intelligence that Lin has seen so far is not fish or arthropods, but soft shelled creatures such as ammonites and arrowstones.
They are quite smart, they can use a lot of wonderful abilities, and the size ratio of the brain is also the first, but they are not powerful creatures, there are many creatures that can eat them, it can be seen that the intelligent creatures on land are not necessarily powerful, after all, their brains are separated from the thinking ability of the cells, no matter how smart they are, they can't combine cells like Lynn, they can only use the existing abilities that the cells provide to them.
Although she thought so, Lin always felt a little bad premonition.
Either way, if you want to live here, you have to fight, and Lynn has a force ready to surround the Leviathan in the center, ready to face the unknown creatures of the night.
When night fell completely, the light of the starry sky once again enveloped the world, and all kinds of strange sounds were remembered in the spire forest.
The creatures of the night, at this time, also came out, and the Leviathan's current location is the same place where it was last besieged by the arthropods, and these creatures may also be the builders of the Pinnacle Forest, and they are obviously swarm creatures.
Lynn's lanterns don't shine on them, they always deliberately avoid the light, so Lynn simply puts the lanterns away and waits for them to attack.
'Ga ......'
These were the arthropod sounds, and unlike before, they were quite far away, and they didn't come around to attack Leviathan.
Odd......
When Lin was confused, she suddenly received a pain signal in her thoughts!
It wasn't the Leviathan or the surrounding troops that were attacked, but the green carpet tens of meters away!
This is the green carpet that Lynn made with the transporter, it has covered more than 90% of a spike, and the moss on it is almost swallowed by the green carpet.
But now that the green carpet was under attack, Lynn could feel something cutting through the green carpet with a sharp, blade-like object.
Lynn's green carpet wasn't made casually, it had noticed the moss on the pins before, and only after making sure they didn't have any scars did it make the armorless green carpet that covered the pinnacles.
But now the green carpets were cut off piece by piece, but they were not dead, and the green carpets that had been cut into pieces were thrown to the ground.
Other words...... Isn't the attacker's purpose to eat the green carpet?
Lynn had an idea out of the blue......
Maybe the moss was put on it by some creature...... That's right, the creatures that built this Pinnacle Forest!
Many creatures in the sea will reach a certain relationship, they carry the plants on their backs, or let the plants grow on the cortex, they can directly obtain nutrients, Lin also raised some green cells before, but after she can photosynthesize, she never raised them again.
Unexpectedly, this kind of relationship will still appear on land, and those mosses may be 'planted' by some creatures!
The green carpet itself has no class protection, because there is no breeding pod, so it can't make any troops, and the spikes of the green carpet itself are only suitable for dealing with moss and other immobile creatures because of its slow speed and too thinness.
Leviathan had to get there, the creatures might cut all the green carpets, and while the cut green carpets weren't dead and could easily be rebuilt or recycled, Lynn didn't want to let those creatures go.
'Ga ......'
The cry of this arthropod......
Leviathan was about to walk around when a myriad of such voices suddenly came to mind.
Is it just popping up now? Then let's deal with them first.
The arthropods, as they had done the night before, fearlessly rushed forward in the darkness of the day, encircling Lynn's troops.
As for their habits, Lynn has long been prepared to deal with their creatures.
This class is modified from the 'Invisible', with a 30-centimeter-diameter disc-shaped body covered with carapace, and has quite a lot of small holes, when the small arthropods lie on it and bite them, the spikes hidden in the small holes will protrude violently, piercing all the small arthropods on the body!
This class is called the 'Strusher', and when all the spines in its body are extended, its whole body becomes like a hedgehog, and it can usually retract its spines and pretend to be harmless to trick opponents into biting it.
By the way, what is a 'hedgehog'?
Anyway, it's probably a thing with a lot of thorns.
Now, the arthropods rattled around for a while like they did last time and pounced on them, but this time they pounced on the Spikes around the Leviathan first.
The spike's carapace is something that arthropods can't bite open, and when the spikes are almost crawling all over their bodies, it suddenly sticks out its spikes, piercing the unsuspecting arthropods with sharp ends.
Although she couldn't see clearly in the night, she could estimate that hundreds of them had been killed in an instant, and Lin could clearly smell the blood flying in the air.
Spikes' spikes have no barbs and can be easily retracted, they retract their spikes, shake their bodies, and a large number of arthropod corpses fall from their backs.
There were still some shouts near the 'Ga ......', obviously the killing was not done just now, but the arthropods were already scared and did not dare to surround and attack again.
That's enough, right?
Lin also only wanted to kill some of them, to tell them of their own strength, not to kill them all.
'Boom'.
There was a heavy sound, like something moving on the ground.
Lynn knew that there were not only small arthropods in this night, but also some huge creatures.
Leviathan lit the lantern and shone it in the direction of the sound.
In the light, a huge arthropod that was two meters tall and could be more than four meters long was walking this way.
The large size was not what surprised Lynn, but mainly because it looked almost exactly the same size as those small arthropods, and it was indeed the same as the small ones, and Lin could see that many small arthropods had climbed on this large body.
Are the little ones just juveniles?
The large arthropod rushed at it with heavy steps, and it bit a spike in a single bite with its large, jagged jaws under its mouth.
A strong bite, but Lin was ready to deal with large creatures......
The Leviathan aims its head at the target, and after modification, the Leviathan's jet system no longer shoots water, but instead uses the compressed air it inhales for shooting, which can be called a 'barometer'.
As the air is compressed, Lynn opens the jet again, and the air inside bursts violently.
Much more powerful and fast than before, and most importantly not wasting water.
With a 'bang', the bomb flew towards the target's head at a breakneck speed.
'Smack'
The bomb exploded, but it didn't hit its target, and a small arthropod suddenly jumped off its head before the larger one could be hit, blocking the blast.
Although the small arthropods were torn apart by the explosion, thanks to it, the larger ones were barely harmed.
