Chapter 150: Creatures of the New Age

In five days and nights, the sea had reached the border of the near-underworld, where the Wall of Death Spikes was.

Of course, there were no death spikes there anymore, and they were all plucked up by Lynn, who found that they could regenerate with only a small section, so she cut them all into small pieces and took them out.

Now, only the rocky ground remains unsubmerged.

Because the whole terrain is slowly getting higher, the sea needs to keep rising before it can continue to flood, especially in the place of the Wall of Death Spikes, which is so high that it may take a while to flood up.

And in those areas that have been completely covered by seawater, the water level is already tens of meters high, and these incoming seawater can be said to have almost turned the underground world into an ocean.

But it's a rather weird ocean......

The moment the sea rushes in, the glowing creatures on the roof of the cave stop glowing, and although there are some caves in the underground world that lead directly to the ground, they are still dark overall, and after they stop glowing, the entire area is in eternal darkness.

In the dark 'ocean' of the underground world, there are floating plant remains, stones, wood chips from home trees, and a large number of creature corpses, and in the original territory of the Inca swarm, there are also fish creatures such as sharks and helmetfish, which swim in the former jungle world, and eat some drowned creatures when they are tired of swimming, and live a comfortable life.

The sea also brought with it some ancient squid, which were more cautious but also had an inquisitive spirit, and they liked to huddle together, and Lynn found that they also gathered some glowing fungi together, and then secreted a mucous membrane to wrap them around and make them into a small lantern. Explore slowly in the dark.

The ancient squid has a peculiar way of moving. Jean Lin couldn't help but observe for a while. They had the lantern-bearer swim in the middle, and then surrounded by a circle of guards with sharp branches, and a few ancient squid, each holding a round stone, for some unknown purpose.

Lynn uses her voice to know where they are going, and the direction in which they swim is ...... On the surface of the water, there is a behemoth floating right in the direction of the water.

Collapsed home trees are hollow on the inside, and the wooden structure is full of cavities due to fungal infections, so they can float in the water. It became a gathering place for creatures that had not yet drowned, whether carnivorous or plant-fed, all gathered together and shook their bodies.

This is a special ability that generates a lot of heat through constant movement, but it consumes a lot of energy and is usually used only as a last resort, meaning that these creatures may not live long.

There are also creatures that are not afraid of water and cold, and they may survive. For example, a creature called the Spa lizard, which is one level more evolved than its counterpart. Ordinary reptiles are unable to produce body temperature, but they have evolved the ability to produce heat, and they have a stable body temperature.

The way the Spards lay their eggs is also different, they do not lay the eggs, but let them hatch directly in the body, which can protect the eggs from predators before hatching, and most reptiles will not bother after giving birth to their offspring, just prepare their nests to be born, but the Spar lizard will take care of the offspring and feed the offspring to let them grow.

Now, at the edge of the tree floating on the surface of the water, there is a group of Spa lizard cubs that are only ten centimeters long, and they are constantly calling around the one-meter-long female, indicating that they are very hungry.

Listening to their calls, the Spar lizard had to jump into the water to find food, the water was full of the remains of creatures floating around, and the Spar lizard was also very good at swimming, so it probably wouldn't be a problem.

The female Spa lizard swam towards a cockroach corpse floating more than ten meters away, and now Lin found that most of the cockroaches began to like to secrete some very viscous smelly liquid to make creatures feel 'disgusting', and the cockroaches after death took this 'disgusting' feeling to the extreme, but it was the nearest food, so the Spar lizard didn't want to swim too far.

But just as it was halfway through the swim, a sharp piece of wood flew out of the water and caught between the scales of the right neck of the Spargar lizard, and a few drops of blood splattered out.

"Shhh The Spar lizard immediately turned around and rushed in the direction of the spike on the right, this lizard also has a certain intelligence, many creatures will shoot spikes and other things to attack, so the Spar lizard can judge the size of the attacker from the size of the spike, so as to know whether it can defeat the opponent.

This time, though, it's confronting a creature like never before......

The Spar lizard rushed into the water, and in the dark water, it only saw a little light in the distance, and it immediately rushed towards this light without thinking, but at the moment when it decided to charge, several ancient squid suddenly appeared on its sides, and they grabbed sharp pieces of wood and stabbed through the gaps in the scales on both sides of its body, some of which did not hit the spot, but some of which pierced into the flesh of the Spar lizard......

The sudden pain made the Spar lizard realize that there was more than one opponent, and he turned and fled, and when it rushed out of the water, suddenly a wooden spike flew out from the front and pierced it directly into its eye.

The Spar lizard let out a painful roar as the surrounding water shot out a large number of wooden spikes, which caused numerous wounds on its body, pierced its other eye, and finally, an ancient squid pierced the scales of the Spargar's neck with its spikes, ending the creature once and for all.

The Spar lizard's cubs are still crying in their homestead trees, but the food they are looking forward to, and the protectors will never return.

On the other side, the ancient squid gathered around the corpse of the Spargar lizard, changing their bright colors and full of excitement, holding up the pieces of wood in their tentacles, as if they were shouting for victory......

These creatures are really strange, this is the first thought of Lin after observing this battle, at first, Lin thought that the ancient squid was just a small creature digging up corpses in the lower layers of the seabed, but when they arrived here, they actually put a lot of drowned corpses and ignored them, and went to catch them alive to eat.

Ancient squid swim on their blowholes, and they will also stuff wooden spikes into their spouts to shoot out for long-range attacks, and sure enough, their intelligence is very unusual, in fact, in terms of individuals, their brain gravity is 0.17% higher than that of a single class of the Inca swarm.

However, excluding Shadow Monsters, Shadow Monsters have a larger brain than normal classes.

But the ancient squid is not like the Inca swarm can connect the brain and mind to achieve the unity of the whole group, and now there are two ancient squid fighting for the eyes, and then a third ancient squid appears and opens the two ancient squids fiercely, and then it has its own eyes to eat.

It can be seen that the third is the role of the 'leader', although they have high intelligence, but the clan will quarrel with each other, and the general leader can have the right to eat first, but it cannot always be in this position.

A fourth ancient squid swam over, and it fought directly with the leader, but after a hard battle, it still lost to the leader.

The leader eventually retains its feeding priority, but just like that, it can be beaten down at any time by a stronger one, but instead of using any wooden thorns to fight each other, they will directly use their tentacles to strangle each other or hit each other, and the weaker side will soon keep spraying water to admit defeat to avoid taking more damage.

However, Lynn had observed some ancient squid in the sea, and when there was less food, they would not grab it, but would unite and quickly eat everything they could.

It's fun to observe these creatures, and the ancient squid will also use some sharp pieces of wood to try to cut through the lizard's scale armor, which they will be very good at exploiting.

But they couldn't occupy the body for long, when another creature jumped from the tree of its home, it was three meters long, covered in armor, and loved meat, its name was 'Giant Horseshoe Crab', and when the Giant Horseshoe Crab arrived, the ancient squid had to flee into the deep water.

Lynn thinks that these creatures may evolve into a very special race in the future, their adventurous thoughts make their intelligence improve more quickly, but also make them more dangerous, and it is difficult to say whether they will survive in the future, but at least they are an evolutionary ...... Let's take shape.

The flooded subterranean world remains uncollapsed because they are almost entirely dependent on a single living being......

The sea destroyed a large number of creatures, but created a new environment, and the only plant that still stands in the water is ...... Homestead Tree.

There are still some homes that are not infected, and their sturdy bodies are still intact even under the impact of the sea, and they are like giant pillars standing in the sea, supporting the heavens and the earth of this world.

Of course, there is also the relationship between the ringstones, and the rock layer at the top of the cave has a large number of ringstone components, and they are also maintaining the entire rock layer from collapsing immediately.

But this is only temporary, the roof of the cave is covered with many cracks, and under the tearing of the two forces up and down, the whole cave will collapse sooner or later, and the sea will be squeezed onto the land due to the collapsed rock formations, affecting the jungle.

If it doesn't collapse...... There may be no problems, and if you use spider silk to stick to the crack in the roof of the cave, you may be able to stop the collapse.

But that's unlikely, the whole area is too big, and there's not a lot of time.

So Lin decided to do nothing, and watched the development of this qiē slowly, of course, to remove some of the more special species, and now Lin's only problem was the lava spider in the rocky rift.

The spiders were so large that it would be difficult for Lynn to drag them up even if she stunned them with a paralyzing toxin, so Lynn used a new way to pull them straight out of the crack in the roof of the cave.

After Lynn had almost taken care of these things, the sea was about to rise above the 'border' and rush towards the last area of the underworld...... (To be continued......)
