Chapter 166: The Island of Echoes
Lynn doesn't have to set up the environment after arriving on the mainland, in fact, anywhere that is spacious enough, but the main reason is ...... They're more in the way.
Lin felt very troublesome with the huge sky cabin, the creatures inside were heavy and numerous, Lin didn't feel troublesome at first, but now she felt more and more 'impatient', and some of the creatures in it began to become immune to the paralyzing venom and began to wake up, and Lin had to get new paralysis poison to make it sleep, and of course she could also cut off its nerves, but then the creature was completely destroyed......
If this continues, it will only get more and more troublesome, so Lynn plans to put them down in advance.
Of course, Lynn doesn't just throw them into the sea, so isn't this island just right, after putting down most of the creatures, just pick some interesting ones like ancient squid or something.
However, Lynn still has to study the entire island.
The predators continued to search the island, just as Lynn had thought, an island covered in 'greenskins', and a few eggs that hid in the rocks and made sounds.
Lynn didn't see any creatures laying eggs, which was normal, most creatures lay their eggs somewhere and then threw them away, but it's strange that they make noises, are they communicating with each other?
To do this, it was necessary to investigate, and the predator returned an egg to Behemoth, who released a decomposition class to disassemble it and study the internal structure.
Lynn discovered that the eggs contained a pair of chitin-like hardened substances, and when they rubbed, they made that gagging sound. There is also a sound sac. It is used to make a high-pitched sound.
But it's not just the strange here. There are no living creatures in this egg, and the whole is quite strange, as a whole it is a set of digestive organs, they digest the nutrients stored in the egg, and there are some muscles to control its sound.
That is, it is a creature that constantly digests itself, and it makes sounds, it does not hatch anything. It will only make a sound, and then slowly digest its own nutrients and wait for death, but the nutrients in its body can last for a long time, about more than two years.
It's a weird thing, it seems that the meaning of zĂ i is to make a sound.
Apparently some kind of creature made them on purpose and put them here, but it's hard to guess what kind of creature it is.
It is more likely that it will be a division of labor species, and they use this sound to ...... Positioning or something special?
Lynn told the predators to pause their exploration and return to Behemoth's place, feeling that it would not be very effective. Let's wait for daylight to see, maybe the fog will disperse. This will allow you to better observe the environment of the entire island.
Yes, wait until morning......
The predators had gathered beneath Behemoth, and Lynn waited for the time to pass slowly......
When the darkness subsided and the daylight shone down, the dense fog of the whole island remained there, with no intention of dissipating, the sun's rays could only penetrate slightly, and the environment in the entire island was shrouded in a layer of darkness, and the light inside was not as bright as under the starlight at night.
But at least it's a little brighter than before, but in that case, it's hard to know how big the island is.
While waiting, Lin found that the island occasionally sounded a gaga, the timing of these eggs making sounds Lin is not easy to guess, sometimes several sounds in a row, sometimes a long time, but they obviously make sounds together, Lin can now confirm that they should be some kind of positioning device, according to the distance they are placed, the order of arrangement, etc., they can instantly indicate the size and location of the island, as long as you stand on one of the eggs and listen to the sound, you can know where you are standing on the island, But the question is who are they instructing?
Lynn didn't see any other creatures, they still kept making sounds.
However, there is also the possibility that the creatures that made the eggs are dead, after all, the oxygen drop event has only recently occurred, and the eggs are still sitting here, making noises, they have no brains, and they can't react to what is happening in the moment.
This is indeed more likely.
If the eggs were actually all over the island, Lynn could use them to determine the size of the entire island, but Lynn was going to be better off exploring with predators.
Once again, Lynn told the predators to disperse and began to probe their surroundings in a place that was not much brighter than night, and this time, the predators followed the 'gada' sound to find the location of each egg, which was much faster than the previous kind of scattering and exploration.
At the same time, Lin sent some of the bombers waiting outside the island into the fog, and Lin wanted to see if she could dispel the fog, which would be a little more ...... if it continued to cover the island Difficulty.
Over the next few days, Lynn released more predators to explore the island, during which the head worm asked to join, so Lynn had it sit on the back of a predator and explore with the other predators.
According to the sound of the eggs, the predators quickly confirmed that there were a total of 1,001 eggs on the island, including the one Lin had taken, and they were placed in a very regular position, they were all stuffed into rocks one meter high and two meters wide, each of which would be separated by a certain distance, except for the only rock, which was a long stone about three meters high, less than half a meter wide, and it seemed to have been knocked down by something, and it was across the ground in the center of the island.
At the same time, when the predators searched for these eggs, they also detected the edge of these islands, the whole island is 20 kilometers long, about 9 kilometers wide, the whole island is flat, there is no hillside or anything structure, the edge is basically that layer of green 'turf', Lin only saw some small worms less than 1 centimeter, they eat the turf, and the turf grows by water mist and thin sunlight during the day.
And then there are no more creatures, either all of the eggs are dead, or they are a kind of marine wandering creatures that may return to the island regularly and need eggs for vocalization, and the giant mosquito should just pass by the island.
This kind of place is really suitable for building an environment, and if it has a mature environment itself, it will be more difficult.
Lin didn't destroy the eggs, she just built the environment on them, and Lin wanted to put down the creatures she was carrying, and it would be troublesome to carry them.
However, at present, we have to disperse this fog first, and if we create a huge storm, we should be able to sweep away this fog lightly, as for what to use to disperse the fog? Yes, of course...... Art!
'Gada'.
Just as Lynn was getting ready, suddenly the island's eggs made another sound.
But this time there was a different feeling, and with the sound of the eggs, there were also bursts of sound in the sea......
What is that?
The bombarders, who were waiting on the outskirts of the island, saw a myriad of creatures suddenly flying out of the sea, and Lin noticed that each of these creatures was only thirty centimeters in size, and had a pair of wings, and they rushed out of the sea and flew towards the island.
Not only in the direction of the bombers, but also in the predators scattered around the island, seeing a large number of these creatures pouring in from every direction of the island, they gathered on the ground of the island in large numbers, and constantly made various calls, making the whole barren island instantly become very lively.
Lynn hadn't seen any of them, but could speculate on their ancestors, they looked like small fish, but their front and hind fins were well developed enough to crawl on their stomachs and even fly at high speeds.
At this moment, a large number of 'flying fish' gathered on the island, and they were not afraid of the predators on the island, but kept squeezing towards the island......
Lynn thinks it might be some kind of breeding activity, but the fish don't look like they have anything to do with the eggs, and they are unlikely to build rocks to place the eggs, but they seem to be attracted by the sounds the eggs make.
"Roll!"
The head worm seemed to be very excited when it saw these fish, it rolled off the predator's back, rolled to the flying fish on the ground, the flying fish flew up to dodge when they saw this, and when the head worm rolled away, they quickly flew back to their original position.
It took a long time for fish to evolve into salamanders to develop eggs that could survive on land, so Lynn was eager to see how they lay their eggs on land.
Lynn waited for about 7,200 seconds, and the fish were just bunched together in large numbers, and nothing else seemed to happen, the thick fog that kept their gills moist so that they didn't dry out, but they didn't do anything but lay on the ground.
But the bombers flying over the island detected that there seemed to be something strange in the thick fog......
Using sound detection, Lynn noticed something strange moving through the fog, a shape that fluttered like a cloud.
This is ...... 'Atmospheric Slime'!
Lynn suddenly noticed that the mist above the island was full of such creatures, and they must have been absent at first, and it was only after the fish appeared that they mixed into the mist......
Lynn noticed that some slimes began to surprise the fish below, they were so well hidden in the fog that the fish could barely perceive them, and when they approached, these slimes seemed to use a devouring method to instantly swallow some of the fish into their bodies, and then quickly flew high into the air.
The bodies of these slimes are transparent, and if you look closely, you might be able to see directly how they digest these fish in their bodies, which must be interesting.
Lin found that the number of fish they ate was only three at most, and they would vomit if they had more, probably for fear of affecting their own weight.
Could it be that these slimes are the egg makers? Do they use their eggs to attract schools of fish to hunt?
But it's not quite like that.
There aren't a lot of 'atmospheric slimes', and they're more like they're passing by than waiting here to catch fish.
It should be an egg made by another species, but what kind of species is it? (To be continued......)
