Chapter 56: Among the Volcanoes

This was the first thing Lynn saw after the fog cleared, it was like a huge rock, perhaps more than a kilometer high, and the Leviathan's view was completely occupied by this huge object.

In Lynn's thoughts, there was one word to describe the object.

'Peaks'.

In the sea, Lin had also seen mountains, but this mountain on land surpassed all the peaks that Lin had seen in the sea, and Lin had never imagined that there was such a sight on land.

The mountain is quite spectacular, but it seems to be somewhat out of place with life.

The whole mountain is grayish-black, and Lin thinks that it is a rock-like structure with no plants growing on it, and Lynn pays the most attention to the surrounding area of the mountain.

The entire area around the mountain was black as if it had been grilled by flames, just like where the Leviathan was now, filled with white poisonous mist and charred plants.

Lynn and a few creatures were able to filter the gas, but apparently most of them couldn't, so the surrounding area of the mountain was barren.

Maybe that mountain was the culprit behind the destruction of the Miè head Zerg group, and the surrounding jungle was also destroyed by it.

Lin was going to fly to the mountain to have a look, but before that could happen, Lin was going to catch a small arthropod swimming in the hot black water, which Lin was going to call a 'ash worm', which was a lot of fun.

The ash worms are super fast, but the Leviathan is not very difficult to catch them, and it only takes a simple method - a trap to catch them.

It was to dig a hole and drive them into it, a trick that Lynn learned while observing the hunting of head bugs. Brain worms are good at observing their surroundings. Rather than relying almost entirely on the abilities of the class like Lynn.

Caught an Ember Worm. Lynn quickly broke it down.

The cells of the ash insect seem to be quite special, and although they are small, they have an extremely complex set of organs that allow them to maintain their internal temperature, and with a certain thickness of heat-resistant carapace, the creature can live in boiling water.

It's a lot of fun, and it's worth learning.

Lynn can make heat-resistant armor, but she can't stay in the heat for long. Otherwise, the cells inside will be roasted, and the ash worms seem to be able to ignore the problem, they are able to switch a mechanism in their body to make the cells heat-resistant, and when they leave the boiling water, they will adjust the mechanism back so that the cells do not die due to the sudden change in temperature.

This mechanism is somewhat similar to the circulatory system in some fish that switch between seawater and freshwater, but the ash worm is quite complex, and there are many cells inside that Lynn has never seen before, and it may take a long time to learn.

But if you can learn it completely. Lin may be able to create a class that advances in the fire, as long as the strong shell resists the damage of the flames. In fact, the internal temperature is not very high, and it only needs to be adjusted......

If Lynn had had this ability, there would be no need to escape from the sea.

But no matter what, you have to keep discovering new things so that evolution doesn't stop.

Now, let's go up the hill and have a look.

Leviathan spread his wings and flew in the direction of the towering peak, and Lynn might be able to discover the reason for the destruction of the Zerg in the head.

As the Leviathan approached the mountain, Lynn noticed that the slopes were covered with black stones, some of which were large and long, much like something Lynn had seen in the sea...... Solidified lava.

Will the ground also erupt lava?

Leviathan continued to fly up the mountain, and Lynn spotted a few plants and arthropods as she flew up, but they were too few to make for a spectacular environment.

When she saw the environment here, Lin couldn't help but have an idea, maybe she could try to change the appearance of the whole environment? Create an ecology?

Lynn has indeed been trying to do this all along, and has had some success in shaping the ecology on the other side of the salt lake, and Lynn's 'lords' have succeeded in creating some umbrella-shaped green carpets in the salt lake, which will filter the toxins in the salt water and turn it into clear water, which has successfully attracted many creatures, and if Lynn filters the entire salt lake, the salt lake should soon be covered with forests.

Creating an environment is a great thing, much more useful than just raising a few creatures for food, or just spreading out a green carpet or something.

At this time, Leviathan was already approaching the top of the mountain, and when she flew to the top, Lin found that the environment at the top of the mountain was completely different from the slope and the foot of the mountain, it was actually a large lake with a diameter of about 500 meters, and the water of the lake looked quite clear.

Leviathan landed on the surface of the lake and scooped up some water, which Lynn felt was as clear as normal water, free of toxins, and mixed with a large number of single-celled organisms.

At the lake, Leviathan looked around, and Lynn suddenly noticed some large figures swimming in the water, and Leviathan immediately dived into the water to observe the appearance of these creatures.

Is it a salamander? Some black salamanders roamed the water, and in addition to this, Lynn saw some worms and even creatures like fish.

How did they get here? It's quite far from the sea!

It seems that this place is different from the mountain, there is a rather rich environment, but looking at these creatures, Lin can't understand them at all, the worms are okay, the salamanders have already begun to talk about it, salamanders can't stay out of the water for too long, otherwise their skin will dry up and die, how did they climb to the top of this mountain? And the fish are even more incredible.

Could it be that they evolved on their own as a single cell floating to the top of a mountain? This is even more unlikely.

Either way, it's a rich environment, and it's weird that the bottom of the mountain is so barren.

Leviathan folded his wings and dived underwater, the deeper he went, the more turbid the water became, and the creatures inside were quite abundant, and Lynn was surprised to find a large number of fish here, including some species that he had never seen before, such as strange fish with a bunch of tentacles on their mouths, and some like leaves, these creatures were of different forms and variety, and Lynn thought that it was unlikely that they could have evolved so many species in such a small place, and that other creatures should have brought them here.

When diving to a depth of about 100 meters, Leviathan's vision was already surrounded by murky water, and the water here was mixed with a lot of impurities, but these were not poisonous substances, and by the time he dived to about 200 meters, Leviathan had already touched the bottom of the lake.

I feel pretty deep.

The bottom of the lake is full of impurities, and Lynn sends the collectors to study them, and Lin finds that most of the ingredients inside are made up of the corpses of living beings, and there are a large number of single-celled organisms on it, which are constantly breaking down these impurities, but due to the low oxygen content of the lake bottom, they move quite slowly.

This strange environment was shown to the head worm by the Lin also guò displayer, and the head worm said that he had never seen this environment, but their population did live near the mountain a long time ago.

"The flames are like waters, gushing, dying, fleeing." The head worm's description of the catastrophe is vague, but Lynn probably surmises that the mountain may have erupted with lava and destroyed the environment below, but why is there a lake on the top of the mountain, and there is so much life?

If it is a lake that appears after an eruption, it should not be so rich in life for a short time, after all, the woodland below is still barren, there is no sign of recovery, although there is poisonous gas or something below, but the actual range is not very large, if the creatures in the lake have evolved over a long period of time, then why have they not been affected by the lava eruption?

It's amazing, it's an incomprehensible feeling.

As Lynn continued to explore the bottom of the lake, Leviathan turned on the lantern, and in the light ahead, Lynn suddenly saw a familiar figure swaying through the water.

That figure seems to have seen it in the sea......

Leviathan opened the vent and sped away, approaching the creature in an instant and grabbing it with his tentacles......

This is...... Shark? Is there a shark here?

It's a small, benthic shark that's just over a meter long, and unlike the usual large sharks, they only like to lie on the bottom of the ocean in search of shellfish and slower-crawling trilobites, but why is it in this place? Did you fly in from the sea?

Lynn tore the shark in half with her tentacles and had the collectors devour its flesh and disassemble it.

There was nothing special about the shark's internal structure, and Lynn thought it might be able to move on land, but it was actually exactly the same as a shark in the sea.

This made Lin even more puzzled, since it was impossible for the shark to come here by itself, how did it come here? No matter what kind of tsunami it is, it can't throw it on a thousand-meter-high mountain, right?

After decomposing the sharks, Lynn continued to explore, and Leviathan sent out some collectors to assist in the exploration, mainly digging through the massive debris at the bottom of the lake to search for the material composition there.

Judging by the decay of the detritum and the rate at which the bacteria decompose it, it is possible to determine when these things appeared.

Leviathan, on the other hand, continued to move on, and suddenly, Lynn saw something strange appear in the light of the lantern.

It's like a stone, this stone is very large, and it is round, about ten meters wide, generally speaking, it is not strange that there are stones, but in fact, at the bottom of this lake, Lin has never seen any stones at all, let alone such a large round stone, it suddenly appeared in front of Lin, and there are no similar objects around, it feels really weird......

As the Leviathan approached the stone, Lin suddenly felt a stream of water coming from above, and Lin immediately caused the Leviathan to speed away from its original position, and as the Leviathan swam away, there was a 'boom' sound from its original position, as if it had been hit by something, splashing countless debris.

This is......

As the debris slowly sank, Lin saw the figure of a creature emerge from it, this creature appeared to be a fish, its body was flattened, about six meters long, quite large, and its body actually shimmered with countless stars of silver brilliance. (To be continued.) )
