Chapter 173: An Island with Only a Skeleton

The island seems to be a very eerie one.

Lynn first discovered tall mosses, 'phyllomorphs' that live in symbiosis with algae, and then discovered a 'spiky ball' that hunts.

The spiky balls are hollow inside and are inhabited by a small group of bee-like creatures, which Lynn calls 'rolling bees', which crawl inside the spiky balls and make the whole spiky ball roll.

As for the Spiky Ball, it is a plant, it has a mechanism in its body that can make the thorns pop out instantly, which can assassinate targets that are close to it, and at the same time, the green thorns can also absorb light energy, and can also be used to roll more steadily and faster, which is really a convenient thing to kill three birds with one stone.

They will kill their prey or provide nutrients to the bee colony in their body, and this relationship feels really special.

After the predators rounded the thorn balls, they arrived at a vast plain, the ground was flat, mostly a mixture of cracked rock and earth, completely different from the green ground covered with moss before, on this plain, occasionally a large tree towered, the bark of which was stacked on top of each other like scales, and here Lynn saw no animals, in fact, except for the bees and leaf worms that lived in symbiosis with the spiny balls, Lin saw no other animals.

However, Lynn's predators found some caves in the plains on the ground, which were traces of large creature nests, and there were footprints of their footprints nearby, presumably some kind of large reptilian.

In fact, in the mossy green space, Lin can also find traces of many large creatures, some of which are relatively new, estimated to have flowed down more than a dozen days and nights ago.

But where did these creatures go? Did they all jump into the sea?

Lynn didn't feel like there would be an earthquake or a tsunami or anything like that, so why would the creatures leave?

Lynn told the predators to continue deeper into the island. After crossing the dry plains. The predators saw a large expanse of green......

A jungle!

Predators observe close to the trees in the jungle. Lynn found that the plants resembled a fern, in short, a huge fern that was more than twenty meters high, and its bark was quite hard, not as fragile as the fern.

The jungle seems to be mostly composed of this plant, and there is a lot of moss growing on the ground.

Looks like a nice jungle, but the problem is ...... It's so quiet.

Although the oxygen level here is also very low, and it is estimated that the large arthropods have died, it should not be so quiet. Lynn didn't see any animals at all, neither small arthropods nor reptiles.

Why?

There were no corpses, no traces, only a few nests that had been left behind, and fragments of egg shells, which some creatures would eat because it was difficult to take their own eggs.

Almost all the animals seem to be gone, so why leave this nice jungle?

There were no earthquakes going to happen here, and Lynn had the pioneers inspect the seabed along the way. There's no such thing as a tsunami going to hit here......

What are the protozoa here running away from...... Running away from what Lynn didn't know.

Lynn had the predators run through the jungle, which was quieter than the twisted jungle. The only thing that can vibrate the auditory nerves of predators is the sound of their own movement and the sound of the wind.

This jungle feels strange, and it can be called 'weird', as if a normal animal has only lungs and skeletons, but no heart and internal organs, and can still run alive.

Although Lynn didn't know which was weirder or weird......

The deeper the predator went into the jungle, the heavier the sensation became, and suddenly, a predator heard a voice in the middle of the woods...... 'Gada'.

Is it the sound of an echo egg?

The predators of the surrounding woods immediately gathered in the direction of the sound, and after passing through the vast jungle, a glade appeared in front of Lynn's eyes.

The clearing was only about thirty meters wide, and the ground was covered with moss but no trees, and the predators did not rush directly into the clearing, but hid in the bushes to observe.

Instead of seeing the stone that lays the eggs, Lynn saw a strange creature...... A type of lizard.

Is there still an animal here? This is also a creature that Lin has never seen before, but it looks very ordinary, very similar to the common lizard in the twisted jungle, about two meters long, all green, strange is its behavior, Lin saw that this lizard was grabbing a small stone with its front paws, hitting another stone, making a sound similar to an echo egg.

The sound is similar, but it's too small to travel as far as an echo egg, and why does it do that?

Lynn had several predators emerge from the woods in an attempt to get close to the strangely behaving lizard.

"Click!"

As soon as the lizard saw Lynn's predator, it let out a scream, and it stepped back again and again, but it was unwilling to throw away the stones in its claws.

Lynn's predator didn't make any gestures of attack, just approached it slowly, but it was quite frightened, screaming and retreating, and finally it chose to throw away the rocks and quickly fled into the jungle.

Lynn immediately had one of the predators chase after her, some of them had the ability to change color and were not easily spotted, while the rest studied its stone.

The predator grabbed the stone with his claws and knocked it, and it didn't look like anything special...... Why does it use this stone to make the sound of echoing eggs? However, it may not be an imitation of an echo egg, but just a coincidence of sound resemblance......

And the most important question has not yet been solved, why are the animals here ...... Just this one lizard? Why did it stay here when all the other animals had escaped?

At this time, the predator who was following the lizard found that the lizard had run under a tree in the forest, and there was a large hole at the bottom of the tree that was just enough for it to burrow.

Predators are not easy to follow, but the predators for this exploration usually have some small troops, which spit out a miniature eyeball and roll into the lizard's burrow.

This is......

Lynn saw a litter of seven baby lizards in the lizard's nest, as well as another adult lizard, which seemed to be its mate...... And the pups?

Is that why it doesn't leave? Lynn also thinks that most creatures may eat their cubs without being able to take them, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Although the reason why it didn't leave was figured out, Lynn wanted to know more about the reason why the other animals left.

At this time, the lizard that had fled back rummaged through its nest, only to see that it had turned out another stone similar to the previous one, and it ran out of the nest with this stone.

The predator followed, and Lynn found that the lizard had found a stone in another part of the jungle, and just like it had just done before, it had knocked the two stones together......

'Gada'. (To be continued......)
