Chapter 59: Winter Falls
Thirty days and nights
The Twisted Jungle is still the same as it was, with large, intricately stout trunks, and despite the loss of leaves in the canopy, the jungle is still spectacular.
Creatures store food, burrow and hide, and leaves wither, a phenomenon that lasts for about thirty days and nights, and almost all living things hide until the last leaf falls......
The originally hot sand and gravel were suddenly as cold as ice crystals, bursts of cold sandstorms kept coming, under the gray sky, countless giant dragonflies swept through the air, flying south, Lin didn't know where they were going to fly, but it seemed that only they chose to escape, and most of the creatures chose to hide and face this disaster.
The twisted trees of the glitter woodland have grown to more than ten meters tall, and they have not completely blocked the attack of the sandstorm, and some of Lynn's troops still clear some of the sand and dust for the glitter woodland every day and night, but now the twisted trees have stopped growing, and the moss has become slower.
Although they don't usually move, Lin can observe that the cells in their bodies are indeed much slower to transport nutrients in the cold state, and although they are not dead, they are unlikely to reproduce.
In fact, all living things stopped reproducing.
This qiē marks the arrival of the cold, and Lin has seen a lot in the sea, but what about the situation on land? Does the air freeze?
Lynn was interested to wait and see what would happen.
The Head Worm had sealed up its rocky mountains, and it had stored a lot of food inside, mostly the remains of arthropods, and Lynn had discovered that the infantry secreted a special kind of saliva. This will stop the food from rotting.
The head worm says it will go into a deep sleep during this time. The infantry will only eat slowly. The entire population enters a special state that consumes energy slowly and can live for a long time.
It seems that it was difficult to find food at the time of the incident, which is why the head worm did this.
As the temperature dropped lower, Lynn could feel that it was lower than the water froze.
Almost all of the creatures stopped moving, but Lynn remained active.
Lin had most of the units that were originally afraid of the cold change into cold-proof armor and continued to move in the cold woodland. Because prey became scarce, Lynn began planting crystallized green blanket umbrellas.
Due to the crystalline structure, the shell of the green carpet umbrella can emit a shining light and warmth at night, and Lynn noticed that some small creatures hiding in the cave began to abandon their original holes and rebuild their nests near the crystals.
At the same time, Lin also changed all the green carpets covered in the Dark Plains into green carpet umbrellas, which are more efficient than laying green carpets, mainly because they take up less space, so that other plants also have room to grow, and Lin got some ferns to put under the crystallized umbrella. It was found that they were able to grow slowly with the light of crystallization.
However, the cooling continues. When the cold breath blew through the jungle, all growth stopped, and the creatures basically went into a deep sleep, which was a good way to survive the crisis, and Lynn had used it a long time ago.
As the temperature plummeted, the clouds that Lynn had been concerned about finally changed.
It was daylight, and the sky was gathering a gray cloud that would have rained like a storm, but now, it was a myriad of white debris.
With the storm coming from the desert, these endless white debris drifted to every corner of the forest, and they piled up on the trunks of trees, on the ground, in all corners of the jungle, forming a mass of white icy things, which piled up all over the forest to form a wonderful scene
Lynn discovered that the white debris falling from the clouds were indeed small ice crystals, which were supposed to be raindrops, but they were quite ...... Odd.
Each ice crystal is a hexagonal wonderful structure, and although the whole is hexagonal, the details on it are different in shape, which is really quite strange.
This kind of thing is called 'snow' in Lynn's vocabulary.
The twisted jungles were dyed white as large flakes of snow fell, not absorbed or dried as quickly as water, but accumulated and piled up because they did not disappear, and most of them were covered in a thick layer of snow except for the glittering woodland and green blanket umbrellas that Lin had specially cleaned.
Lynn was even a little worried that the twisted trunks wouldn't be able to carry their weight and be weighed down, but that hadn't happened yet.
However, the snow continued to increase and cover, even in the hot desert.
Originally, when the snow fell on the desert, it seemed to seep into it and disappear immediately, but as the temperature kept dropping and the heavy snow continued, it began to slowly cover itself with a layer of white frost.
Behemoth was in the desert, its huge body was covered with a thick layer of snow, and Lynn planned to sweep away this layer of snow and let it float above the clouds.
These phenomena on land are really interesting, because because of this phenomenon, all species are hiding.
Just as the ice in the water melts, the cold will disappear sooner or later, and these species store food in order to wait for that moment to come.
However, it may take quite a long time, and Lin can tell by looking at their food reserves, and even some creatures weighing less than half a kilogram have stored hundreds of kilograms of food.
Some organisms, on the other hand, keep their cells in a state of extremely slow consumption, allowing them to live for years without eating or drinking.
Lin didn't know how long this would last, all the qiē became lifeless under the white cover, but not all places were covered in snow.
In the peak area, in the lake in the center of the mountain, although there is a layer of ice on the surface, Lin does not feel how cold it is inside, and the creatures here are still moving normally, although a little slower than before.
And at the foot of the mountain, in the burned forest, when the snow fell, there was a strange phenomenon, many columns of water suddenly spewed out on the ground, and the water rose in white mist, gathering on the ground to form puddles, and Lynn found that the water was actually hot, as if it was coming from underground, and Lynn thought that it might have been heated by lava or something.
Moreover, this water is different from the hot muddy water found by Lin before, and the impurity content of the hot water sprayed out is very low, which is quite clean.
The ash insects are quite active, they swim in the hot water, and these hot water also attracts a huge flying creature, the sawfly, a huge arthropod with a wingspan of more than 20 meters, flying from the distant sky covered with heavy snow, and landing in the puddle formed by the hot water.
Lynn had only seen sawflies once before, and then had Leviathan learn to make huge wings to fly, Lynn didn't know where they usually were, but they seemed to be flying from the other side of the sea.
Sea...... Is it?
Now that the heavens and the earth are getting cold, I wonder if the ocean has recovered. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
