Chapter XXVIII
Lynn was a little puzzled by the crystalline worms found in the food sac.
The food sac is usually the place where the food is loaded, and some creatures will not digest the food so quickly after eating it, and will be sent to the food sac first, but why do the food sacs of the crystal scale lizard have so many small worms of about 5 cm? As parasites, they seem to be too big, and they don't hurt the lining of the food sac, if they were eaten by lizards, then they wouldn't be so complete and not so vigorous, right?
These insects are also quite strange, the average arthropod has 6 to 10 arthropods, they only have four limbs, the ends of the forelimbs are actually hollow, they look like a small beetle with a crystal carapace, they are frightened into a ball when they are illuminated by Lynn's lantern, and constantly make some small noises, Lynn will not run away even if she throws them on the ground......
Could it be that they are in a symbiotic relationship with lizards?
Forget it, no matter what, it's not a very important issue anyway...... Since there are so many crystals here, they can be mined here, so that the green carpet on the ground can expand at a faster rate.
Lynn began to transfer all the sappers from the other forks here, intending to dig up the crystals that might turn the Plains of Darkness into another glamorous woodland.
As for the strange little worms in the lizard's food sac...... Let's break them down and see if there's any fun going on with their organs.
Just as Lin was about to let the sappers eat the worms, they suddenly let out a high-pitched cry from the ground, which had been curled up motionless on the ground.
The screams echoed throughout the crystallized cavern, and Lynn guessed they might be calling out to their companions.
Sure enough, just as Lynn had the idea, the pile of branches next to her suddenly dispersed, and in the scattered branches, several crystal-scaled lizards rushed out of it, and they pounced directly on Lynn's sappers and rock breakers.
There are more than ten of these monitor lizards with a body of more than three meters, Lin immediately let the sappers disperse, the sappers are only thirty centimeters long, it is impossible to be an opponent, and the rock breaker is only one here, but the speed of the lizard can catch up with the sapper, after they catch up, they will use their big jaws to instantly bite it, and the rock crusher is also besieged by two lizards at this time.
They seem to be quite smart, as one lizard acts like it's going to attack in front of the Rock Breaker, and whenever the Rock Breaker comes up it backs away, allowing the other to attack from behind.
Therefore, Lin pretended to attack the lizard in front of her, and when the one in the back bit up, she immediately turned around, and the cone horn popped out at the same time, and the powerful heavy blow instantly tilted the lizard's jaw to the side, and several fangs flew out.
The wounded lizards screamed and retreated, but now that several more lizards had gathered around, the smasher couldn't fight so many opponents at once.
Eventually, the Crusher was also torn apart, and there was not a single unit left in the crystallized cavern.
That's a lot of fun.
This was Lynn's first feeling after the troops were completely wiped out.
Actually, Lynn hadn't tried this for a long time, except in the face of a catastrophe, very few creatures could do any major damage to its troops, but this time it was all wiped out? It's just a non-hunting digging team, though.
These lizards may be interesting creatures......
During the battle, the sapper had splattered a lot of blood when he was bitten by the lizard, and Lin quickly formed a small eyeball before the blood dried up, and it saw the scene of this crystalline cavern again......
Well? How is it bright here?
Even the lantern had been bitten in the battle, but Lynn's eyes saw a light in the cave, and several large lizards dangled in its field of vision.
The lizards now don't know why they formed a circle, as if there was something in the circle, but the position of Lynn's eyeball happened to be blocked by a lizard, and it was completely invisible.
However, Lynn had already thought of this problem, so the small eyeballs it composed of were winged.
The little eyeball flew into the air, and Lynn saw the situation in the center of the circle surrounded by lizards.
Isn't this the little crystallized beetle found in the food sac before?
A few small crystalline beetles are in a circle surrounded by lizards, and they constantly make 'clicking' sounds, as if they are communicating.
Not only them, Lin found that on the head of each lizard, there were several of these crystalline beetles, which didn't seem to participate in the communication, but were just watching there.
'Click! Click......!!! ’
Suddenly, a crystal beetle in the center of the circle that looked relatively large called out a series of single sounds, and Lin noticed that it suddenly raised its head after calling, and the two eyeballs that seemed to be made of crystals were staring closely at Lynn's small eyeballs flying in the air.
Discovered?
The little crystalline beetle suddenly raised its forelimbs and pointed this way, and Lin clearly saw that from the hollow at the end of the beetle's forelimbs, a crystal thorn shot out in this direction.
The crystal thorn instantly hit the center of the small eyeball, and Lin suddenly felt a pain, and then lost the vision of the small eyeball.
Lynn could feel the little eyeballs fall to the ground and be torn apart by them.
To be able to find such a small eyeball in the air, this detection ability is really powerful.
So, what's next? The little beetles seemed to be able to manipulate the large lizards, which was so special that Lynn named them 'Chibucha Bugs', and it seems that these creatures are also very intelligent.
However, the Crystallized Cave seemed to be their territory, and Lynn didn't seem to be able to dig there.
Although Lynn is used to fighting back after being attacked, it also targets individual creatures, and it will feel quite troublesome if this kind of group fights.
If it is a battle against a group, it is likely that there will be extinction in the end, and it seems not worth it to kill all the species that are worth researching just because of the loss of an excavation team......
And it's rare for interesting creatures to be so close to each other, so it's quite rare and can be well studied.
It's okay to dig somewhere else first, and then observe them.
As the night passed, and after daylight, Lynn created some flyers on the ground, intending to go deep into the cave to observe the 'Chibucha Bugs'.
But what Lin didn't expect was that before it went down, the other party had already come up.
Lynn has a vast excavation system beneath the Glitter Glade, with dozens of forks connected by a main road, each with more than a dozen sappers and a rock breaker digging in them, all of which carry the crystals of the excavation to a main path and eventually transport them to the green carpet on the ground.
In the main passageway, there are lights with visionary lanterns, which can not only illuminate but also observe if there are any anomalies in the tunnel, and the lanterns saw a large number of anomalies before Lin was about to let the flyer down.
A large number of crystal-scaled lizards rushed up from the bottom to the top in the main path.
The lizards were menacing, smashing all the lanterns along the way and rushing into each fork in the road with great speed, killing the sappers and srushers inside.
After the sappers at the last fork in the tunnel were also killed, they did not rush out of the ground, but all retreated into the main tunnel, retreating deep into the ground, and disappeared......
Pretty awesome......
During their attack, Lynn didn't do anything, just observed.
This is not a huge loss, even for all the digging teams.
It's not surprising that Lynn's team in the Crystallization Cave was wiped out by them, because that was their territory, but what does it mean to rush out now and kill all the sappers? Think Lynn is a threat in the neighborhood?
In that case, it's a war.
It can't be helped, although it is an interesting creature with research value......
Lin was very happy to meet them at first, but she didn't expect that there would be so many creatures with intelligence, and there is one under the base, the lizard is definitely not a creature in the race of Qibucha insects, because endoskeletal creatures and arthropods are very different, and lizards should be controlled by Qibucha insects, this ability is quite rare.
So, the team that Lin started was destroyed, and Lin didn't fight back immediately, but wanted to continue studying them.
But that's different now.
Since they want war, give them war.
