Chapter 168: Abyss Graveyard
Lynn's troops slowly moved away from the fog-shrouded Skull Island and continued in a westerly direction......
Skull Island has such a thick fog because the air moves very slowly, but the fog can be replenished constantly, and sooner or later the oxygen will be reduced.
Therefore, Lin finally gave the creatures of Skull Island a final 'safeguard', a kind of 'oxygen ball' with a diameter of about three meters, this kind of class is located above the island, the surface is covered with green moss, they can collect the oxygen produced by the moss, and at the same time filter the oxygen from the sea breeze, which will be concentrated and released into the island through a straight pipe that extends into the island's 'tail'.
Too much oxygen also kills living things, so they don't release 100% of the oxygen, but have other gas mixtures.
It's a fully automated class, and Lin doesn't need to control them or manage them, they live by absorbing light energy and breaking down all kinds of debris that drifts with the sea breeze, but the nutrients prepared in their bodies can last for a long time.
With these guarantees, Lynn believes that those large arthropods will survive.
So next...... Just move on.
I spent a lot of time on Skull Island, and I discovered a lot of mysteries, and I don't know what the creature that made the eggs is, so there are so many things that are worth exploring.
At this time, Lin once again faced the endless ocean, this place was still so wide, after putting down the 'burden', Lin felt more relaxed.
For the rest of the journey, as before, slowly sail on the endless ocean. The species in this sea are becoming more and more abundant. When the Pioneer is advancing in the sea. You can see many creatures that Duolin has never seen before, among which fish are more abundant, and there are some reptiles in the ocean.
Most of them have evolved in a variety of ways because they are far apart, and although there is nothing wrong with large arthropods in the sea, they are not as strong in the ocean as they are on land, all because they are mostly on the bottom of the sea.
The head worm reverted to boredom, and as it lay on Behemoth's back and rolled in boredom, Lynn saw the island again......
Very small island.
The island that suddenly appeared in front of Lin's troops was only about ten meters wide. There was only gravel and a piece of ...... on it Stone.
This stone is...... The kind of stone where the eggs are placed? Just as Lin was thinking this, the stone suddenly made a 'gada' sound.
And so it was.
This kind of stone will be represented here...... The range of that creature is quite large, and Skull Island is just one of them.
Then, as Lin had thought, the troops came across a number of islands on their way on, all of which were very small, usually only a few meters to a dozen meters wide, but on them there were one or two stones on which the eggs were placed.
The islands were also numerous, and in three days and nights, Lynn encountered more than sixty small islands. Their position is not regular, and it seems that the islands were not deliberately created by some creature. As for the pebbles on it, Lynn didn't see the creatures that made them.
These creatures have strange habits, and they may have placed these 'echo eggs' on any land, but where are they themselves?
After three days and nights of travel, the surrounding sea was free of these small islands, and the sea was as calm as ever, but the pioneers found something special underwater.
During their travels, the Pioneers occasionally went to the depths of the ocean to investigate the environment below, and during this dive, the Pioneers came to a very deep place.
Usually less than 800 meters deep, the Trailblazer descended to a depth of about 1,600 meters and came to a dark and spacious space.
The seabed here seems to have suddenly become lower, and in the previous section where there are islands, the seabed is still relatively high and full of life, but here it seems to have become dead and silent.
The Pioneer turned on the light on his head and slowly made his way through the dark depths of the sea, where the light barely illuminated, but the attached worms around the Pioneer could explore their surroundings with sound detection.
The range of exploration on the seabed is quite wide, basically reaching more than a kilometer, and when the sound emanates, Lin suddenly 'sees' a strange environment......
The Pioneer is now located above a vast seabed, and on the seabed, there are many huge pillars, each of which is almost fifty meters high and up to ten meters in diameter, and there are many small square openings in these columns.
Apparently it was something made by some kind of creature.
The Pioneer swam towards the giant pillars below, and as he approached, the pillars trembled slightly from the swirling water of the Pioneers, and they seemed to be quite unstable, and Lin also saw some stone pillars that had collapsed on the seabed and had broken into several pieces, so it seemed that there might be no living creatures in them.
The Pioneer stopped in the water and asked the attached worms to create some small warheads for deep-sea exploration, and searched among the cylinders on the ocean floor.
A large number of warheads poured into the square holes in the surface of the cylinder, and the light was lit up to observe the inside, these pillars were hollow and full of rifts, and there should have been some kind of creature that used to be their nest, but they were not visible here, were they dead? Or left?
Some of the warheads swam to explore the seabed below, which is covered with a lot of gray gravel, and on this stretch of sand, there are many sand dunes uplifting.
It's ......
The light of a warhead suddenly shone on a sand dune, and I saw a sharp object sticking out of the sand dune, which seemed to be the claw structure of a creature.
The warheads immediately swam towards the dune, but as they approached the dune, a large mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly burst out of the sand and swallowed several bullets in front of them in an instant.
Then it spits out again, and it turns and runs away.
The creature appears to be some sort of latent fish, but the warhead is hard and difficult to digest, and it is difficult to swallow, so it spits it out immediately.
As the fish burst out, the dune crumbled, and Lynn saw what was buried beneath the dune, the claws of some arthropod, sharp, serrated with the ends connected to the gravel below.
It seemed that there was an entire body underneath, and Lynn had the warheads spin their bodies to drill through the sand and reveal the entire creature beneath the sand.
This is......
Something under the sand appeared in front of Lynn's eyes, but unlike what Lin thought, it was not the body of a certain creature that appeared, but claws, many claws.
The claws were empty shells, and the flesh inside had long since been decomposed, but the shells remained, and they were buried in the gravel in large quantities.
How could these claws be buried in the gravel? Could it be ......
Lynn suddenly thought of a possibility, and Lynn had all the warheads return to the Pathfinder, and then sent the Pathfinder to spin at high speed into the cylindrical group.
A large number of columns collapsed and broke by the impact of the Pioneer's massive size, and as the Pioneer rotated, the surrounding water formed a strong whirlpool, and the sand particles of the seabed below flew up, revealing a huge amount of ...... buried under the sand Paw.
It's not just claws......
Under the detection of Lynn's voice, it was found that these things buried in the sand and gravel had claws, as well as various carapace fragments, and they seemed to have accumulated quite a lot, it was difficult to calculate how many, just looking at the surface there may be hundreds of thousands.
It seems like a huge ...... A 'graveyard' of some kind of creature.
The creatures seem to have died from the war, some of the carapace has another creature's claw stuck in it, and most of the shells have scars on them, as if the corpses have not been completely decomposed due to the accumulation of too much, and there is also the smell of carrion.
The Pathfinder stopped spinning and let the Affiliated Worms search for the carapaces, dismantling and examining them.
There were quite a lot of carapaces piled up here, and Lynn found complete components in them, and pieced them together into a complete creature, strangely so many carapaces, and Lynn found that there were only two creatures in them.
Both creatures are about a meter long, and the arthropods of their bodies are all sharp claws with serrated teeth, the two creatures are quite similar, but the details are different, and it is these two creatures that fought this war here, and there are many traces of being pierced by the claws of another creature on many carapaces.
War, death in patches, these are not strange, but the strange thing is that the structure of these creatures is not suitable for moving in the sea, they have no structure suitable for swimming, and they can't do anything but struggle to throw such creatures into the water, and even if they get to the bottom of the sea, they will move quite slowly, and they can't be used for war.
If you are on the ground, this form is very suitable for high-speed movement.
And there is a strange place.
Both of these creatures were parasitized during the 'Age of Parasites' of the Inca Swarm, and they are recorded on statues of the Inca Swarm.
But the Inca swarm did not develop the species, and soon the Inca swarm did not mention the creature anymore......
In this way, it seems that this creature has once encountered the relatively primitive Inca swarm, but what kind of creature are they? Is it a division of labor? Are they extinct? Have you ever lived on land?
They would attack in such large numbers that they were more than many social creatures, but Lynn had only discovered one species in her carapace.
Maybe keep digging and you'll find something? It may not be possible to find shells for other classes.
But maybe there won't be an answer, it's just a bunch of shells. (To be continued......)
