Chapter Thirty-Six: The Burning Forest of Lights

Sounds from outside...... Something huge had fallen to the ground, and Lynn could see from the eyeballed turrets on the green carpet outside, a large twisted tree trunk lying on the ground across the river.

On the body of the trunk of the tree, there is also a layer of constantly beating light, this light constantly exudes extremely high temperature, Lin can clearly feel it.

That's ...... 'flame'...... 'burning'.

Lynn remembered the boulders that she had seen falling from the sky during the disaster before, and they were also wrapped in high-temperature flames in this way.

Could it be another catastrophe?

"Water, move, Farr, death."

The head worm repeated the words beside Leviathan, and Lynn could feel it in a very anxious state.

Leviathan walked to the entrance of the cave, and Lynn asked the doorkeeper to dissolve the sealed hole, and Lin planned to have Leviathan investigate directly.

Outside the base, there seemed to be another world, the sky kept echoing with violent thunder, and endless raindrops kept hitting an object as far as the eye could see, forming a never-ending noise.

The twisted trunk had collapsed in a clearing in the Glittering Glades, not far from the river, and its body was covered in flames, and the Leviathan could feel the heat even closer.

What exactly causes it...... How could such a huge tree break off and fall like this?

As the Leviathan approached the burning trunk, Lynn unleashed a small flyer with powerful sensory organs, which approached the burning trunk and probed the temperature of the flames.

The feeling of this temperature...... Much like lava, but not at a more fixed temperature than lava, the temperature of the flame fluctuates, with some areas being quite hot and others being cooler.

But now, Lynn is more concerned about why it burns.

Looking up from here, one of the trunks of a tree is broken and a flame burns in the cross-section.

Lynn remembers. After those flaming boulders fall into the water. The flames were gone, but now in such a torrential rain, the flames did not seem to weaken in the slightest.

'Boom! ’

A bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, and Lin clearly heard a sound like an explosion at the same time, only to see that the trees above suddenly burst into a violent fire, and the huge tree trunk broke under the explosion and smashed down......

A large number of broken flaming giant trees fall from the upper layers of the forest. Smashed all over the glittering glade, the forest once again lit up with dazzling light, but unlike the previous light that symbolized life, the heat of the flames only symbolized death, and countless small creatures surrounded by flames were forced to burrow out of the ground or in the bushes, and they tried to flee towards the place where there was no flame. Or be engulfed in flames with no way out.

Leviathan stood among the burning logs, and Lynn had calculated where they had hit in advance, so there was no need to dodge, but ...... What was that?

Seems to be lightning? Did lightning cause wood to burn? But the Twisted Jungle had been raining dozens of times before, and they were almost accompanied by strong lightning and thunder, and this time the thunder and lightning were actually not very strong, and Lynn had seen much stronger than this.

But none of those lightning bolts could cause the twisted jungle to burn. The Warped Jungle seems to be able to withstand lightning on its own. Why did it burn this time?

"Water, move. Cracked wood, farr, death. ”

Lynn remembered the word for a brain worm...... It seems to know what things look like......

Although Lynn has lived for a long time, she doesn't know much about land, and many things that happen on land are completely different from those in the sea, just like this flame.

The flames spread and spread across the trunks, seemingly trying to spread the heat throughout the jungle, and in the water, the only thing that resembles it is lava, but lava cannot spread in water, and it will soon cool and solidify.

Now, the key to solving the problem is the word brain worm.

By the way, water, moving, dry cracked wood is trying to show that after the water is removed, the trees become dry?

Thinking about it, Lin asked Leviathan to approach the nearest twisted tree that had not been affected by the flames, and Lin simply tore off a large piece of bark by sucking on the tree's bark with her tentacles.

The twisted trees were really problematic, the bark of these trees was originally quite hard, and it was not easy to tear off at all, but now ......

Under the torn bark, Lynn found a large amount of white silk.

This is...... Fungi? Could it be that this qiē is all caused by fungi?

By the way, the fungus destroys the internal structure of the wood, this creature ...... Ability to decompose wood......

Originally, this twisted jungle was free of fungus, but since then, since the extermination of the Chibucha worm, the moss has begun to disappear, and then even affected these giant twisted trees.

Why do they have such a powerful ability to destroy miè? Can't the immune cells of the twisted tree be defeated? It's actually incredible that fungi can affect so many trees, and it stands to reason that even if they can affect one or two, they can't affect that many...... Twisted trees should evolve corresponding resistance, they have such a huge size and sufficient nutrients, if you infect a small creature, the fungus can quickly spread and kill it, but the giant twisted tree should have enough time to react and make immune cells, why can't it fight the fungus?

The fungus had destroyed the inner structure of the twisted tree, making it impossible for the tree to resist lightning, and though Lynn didn't know how they had resisted lightning in the first place, it had happened anyway.

Lynn seemed to suddenly understand something.

'Compassion', Lynn's mood when she goes extinct to a species.

At first, Lynn just felt that this mood was in the way and would prevent it from judging and fighting normally, and Lynn thought that it was just telling herself about the enemy's situation.

But it seems that compassion is not so simple, and it also illustrates the consequences of extinction of a species.

Is that so? But it seems too late to know now.

The sound of giant trees breaking and falling all around, and the flames dancing on the wood emitted waves of heat, enveloping the Leviathan, and now, as far as the Leviathan could see, there was a burning scene.

In Lynn's thoughts, the word 'regret' appeared, and this disaster seemed to be of its own making.

No, won't regret it. Since it is self-inflicted. Then stop it yourself.

The Plains of Darkness was unaffected, and it didn't seem like the fungus had spread over there, as the Chibucha Worm's burrows were mostly located in the underground of the Glitter Glade, and the flames didn't burn there.

Well, there's still a chance......

Leviathan looked closely at a piece of burning wood next to him, and saw that when some large raindrops fell on the flames of the wood, the flames that were dripping disappeared instantly. But soon it ignited again.

Sure enough, the water could make the flames go away.

But the raindrops are too scattered, and the drops are too small, is that why the flames cannot be extinguished? So what happens if there's a lot of water?

The Leviathan cracked open the carapace on its back, and a large amount of rain collected and was sucked into the Leviathan, which eventually pooled at the muzzle of the gun in the front of it.

'Bang! A huge balloon of water was shot out of the muzzle. It hit a section of burning wood in front of the Leviathan, and the flames of the water balloon dissipated instantly, leaving only wisps of green smoke.

I see, the water really works.

Using the attack of the water cannon, Leviathan blasted a passage through the flames and returned to the base.

Lin didn't plan to extinguish the flames in the entire glittering glade, it was too much, and Lynn's current class couldn't absorb water to extinguish fires like the Leviathan. If you want to remodel. I don't know how long it will take.

Cross the river and return to the base. Lynn spotted the Head Bug waiting at the entrance to the base, and it let out an anxious and happy cry at the sight of Lynn.

"Farr, cracked wood, dead, chieftain, alive, cave."

Lynn now knew that 'Far' seemed to refer to fire, and that the Brain Worm should have meant "Flames burning on cracked wood would cause death, but the Leviathan, the 'leader', survived and returned to the cave."

It seems, it will be happy that Leviathan survived.

It's funny, but what kind of weird thinking is this? But Lynn now had to study something else first.

Those fungi.

Leviathan returned to a cave in the middle of the cavern dedicated to decomposition and research, and began to study the fungus.

From the twisted trunk, Lin got a lot of fungi, and in the process of decomposition and research, although this creature produces toxins and has great lethality, it is still easy for Lin to kill them.

However, there was no point in Lynn killing them, as Lynn wanted to give the Twisted Tree or Moss the ability to kill the fungus as well, as Lynn couldn't help every Twisted Tree or Moss kill the fungus.

So, Lynn was going to 'exercise' them, and Lynn had some moss that she had collected from the outside, and the fungus inside had been killed by Lynn, but this moss didn't have the immune cells to defeat the fungus.

Lynn had to find a way to get it to produce immune cells, just by putting a small amount of fungus into the moss, which was not harmful, but still allowed the moss's immune system to react and eliminate it.

In this case, maybe the moss can evolve, and then let this moss multiply with other mosses, then a new moss that is not afraid of fungi will be produced, and when the time comes, maybe the glitter woodland can be covered with moss again, and if it is successful, Lynn can also experiment with the twisted tree.

The big evolutions are all piled up by countless small evolutions.

In addition, Lynn has to study something special: fire.

The flame is quite special, and Lynn believes that it is born from lightning, but after the lightning is gone, it will continue to burn and spread.

In other words, although lightning provides it with initial energy, it can continue to grow with wood as energy, which is very different from other substances.

Lynn had a feeling that if she studied 'Flame', she seemed to gain very special powers. (To be continued.) )
