Chapter 10 Transit Stations
The worm also seemed to sense the smell of water, and its slow movement instantly sped up a lot, almost rushing in the direction of the water.
Lynn's flyer reached the water source much faster than the worms, and from the sky, it was a lake with a diameter of tens of meters, and around the lake there was a circle of green tentacles, which must be plants, and in the vast desert, this lake and the existence of these plants seemed to bring some wonderful feeling.
How did this come about? Why does water gather here? Lin was very concerned about this, could it be that the water would also pass over the hot sand, over the sandstorm, and drift to the center of the desert?
The flyer flew to the lake, and Lin found that there were some small arthropods here, and Lin asked the flyer to drink some water, and Lin found that the water here had a very clear feeling, and it contained quite few impurities, which should be composed of water floating in the air.
Now, Lynn was a little hesitant.
Now that you've found a source of water, should you kill the worms and let the Leviathan out? However, this water source only occupies a small area, and there may be problems due to various factors.
As Lynn pondered, the worm approached, protruding its massive head from the sand, staring at the surface for a while, before rushing headlong into the water.
As the worm rushed into the water, its entire body also emerged from the sand, and Lin also saw the worm's body buried in the deep sand, from head to tail, although the creature was not twenty meters, but it was more than ten meters.
How did it grow so big? It's still a mystery, now that the worm is drinking a lot of water in the lake, Leviathan can feel a lot of water pouring into the worm's esophagus.
At this time, the worm's esophagus began to really come to life, and suddenly a large amount of dissolved fluid began to secrete from the inner wall, and it seemed that it was beginning to digest the Leviathan.
It didn't digest when it set out, was it really because of lack of water? And the worm didn't drink the seawater, probably because the seawater hadn't recovered yet, or for some other reason.
The probe that Lynn used to detect the seawater was dead, probably eaten, and Lynn didn't replenish it after that, so it seems that there is indeed a problem with the seawater.
The worm secretes a large amount of this dissolved fluid, and it seems to convert water directly into a dissolved solution, which can easily corrode the outer armor of the Leviathan, and digest the structure of chitinous matter into a pile of powder.
But it will take some time to corrode to the inner layer, and all the holes in the Leviathan shell have the ability to switch on/off, and when completely closed, not even a single virus can enter, so Lynn doesn't have to worry about the dissolved liquid seeping into it for the time being, it will open the pores slightly, inhale a small amount of dissolved liquid into the body, and then decompose the ingredients to see which kind of dissolved solution this belongs to.
It's a very strong acid......
The composition of the dissolved solution varies greatly according to the secretion of different organisms, but Lin did not give them any classified names, and they are all called dissolved solutions.
Different dissolving solutions have very different properties, and even sometimes the dissolved liquid that can lightly corrode thick armor can be blocked by a layer of cells, and as for the dissolved solution of this worm, Lin has already thought of a way.
Lynn once combined the chitins of the anti-Aztec lysate, and the composition of the worm's lysate was very similar to that of the Aztecs, but it was mixed with some special substances that could speed up the dissolution, and it was not difficult to create relative protection.
However, Lynn also wanted to know how the worm's esophagus resisted the lytic fluid it secreted.
This may be the key to killing the worm, and since it has already begun to digest the Leviathan, Narin is not going to stay in it anymore.
The lytic fluid of the worm eroded the outer carapace of the Leviathan, and Lynn secreted a transparent anti-corrosion layer in the innermost layer, and at the same time created a small class covering the same anti-corrosive carapace, sending it out of the stomata and observing the changes on the wall of the esophagus in the worm's esophagus filled with lytic fluid.
I see......
The wall of the worm's esophagus has a layer of white mucus attached to it, and apparently, the worm relies on this to prevent itself from being corroded.
Lynn scraped some mucus from the wall of her esophagus and returned to the Leviathan to analyze the mucus for analysis.
At this time, the flyer outside was flying around the lake, and Lin could see that the huge body of the worm was floating motionless on the water, as if it was dead, but in fact, its body was in a fierce movement, and in order to digest the Leviathan, it kept secreting a huge amount of dissolved liquid, as if it was going to use the liquid directly to crush the Leviathan.
But now that Lynn had resolved the mucus components of the worms' esophageal walls, which were mainly caused by a special cellular structure, Lynn knew there was a special way to peel them off the esophageal walls.
With that in mind, Lynn began to create a large number of special solutions, a liquid that specifically targeted the wall cells of the worm's esophagus, which was able to break down the connections between the cells.
However, just as Lynn was about to release the solution, the worm's body suddenly vibrate, and the flyer outside saw that the worm, which had been motionless on the water, suddenly writhed and dived into the water.
What's wrong with it?
When Lin was wondering, she suddenly saw a creature approaching the lake, this creature, Lin had seen before......
The desert scorpion, a scorpion about the size of the Leviathan, can also be found next to the lake in the middle of the desert, apparently, it is for the water.
Many organisms are accustomed to using fluids to expel waste products from their bodies, so they are prone to water shortages, even if they have carapaces that do not leak.
The flyer could see the worm's vague shadow in the lake slowly approaching the scorpion drinking from the lake, apparently trying to hunt for food.
Then wait a while, Lin told the Leviathan to stop releasing liquid, and it wasn't too late to get it after the worm ate the scorpion.
The scorpion was completely unaware of the worms in the lake, and the worms were quite clever in hunting, slowly approaching, tightening their bodies, and then rushing out of the water!
The scorpion barely reacted before it was bitten by the worm, followed by a sound of the carapace being crushed, and the scorpion was bitten into pieces and swallowed in a very short time.
Lin couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw this, if she hadn't calculated the time correctly when she rushed into the worm's mouth at that time, she would have been bitten into pieces like this......
After the worm had devoured the scorpion, it retracted into the water and continued to float on the surface of the water to resemble a corpse.
As the esophagus squirmed, Lynn could see many pieces of the scorpion squeezed into the same position as the Leviathan, soaked in acid and slowly digested......
So now, let's do it......
Thinking about it, Lynn began to let the Leviathan release a special solution, these liquids were not affected by stomach acid, it spread out in large quantities, and the cells in the wall of the esophagus were connected with a layer of mucus, but these liquids would destroy this layer of mucus, and the connection between the cells would be broken.
The walls of the esophagus lose the protection of this layer of cells, and traces of corrosion appear in direct contact with acid.
'Goo ......'
The worm, which was floating on the surface of the water, felt the problem in its body and made a strange noise.
The Leviathan continued to release large amounts of the solution, and the worm now had a large rotting wound in its body, which was still expanding.
The worm twisted its body, rushed out of the lake, climbed onto the sand, and shook its head, Leviathan also felt the inner wall of the esophagus writhing violently, and squeezed everything inside!
The flyer saw the worm open its huge mouth, and at the same time the Leviathan also felt a very strong current, and with this current, the worm slammed a qiē thing in its body into the sand, Leviathan, scorpion fragments, and a large amount of acid.
Can you spit it out at such a deep point?
Leviathan stood up, the light of the day burning the cells in its body through its corroded pitted carapace, the inner shell of the Leviathan could only resist corrosion, not the scorching heat of the light.
The worm stood a third of its body, its bright red eyes staring straight at the Leviathan, as if it knew it was Lynn who had caused the problem, but after a brief moment of staring, the worm's head tilted to the side, and its entire body fell to the sand.
