Over the next few days and nights, Lynn summoned a number of troops from the base on the coast and asked them to investigate the nests of bones, and from the process of studying them, Lynn found a lot of information.

During her investigation, Lynn was able to confirm that the piles were inhabited by a reptilian creature about a meter long, and of course there were no living creatures now.

Lynn found the complete skeletons of many of these reptiles in the pile of bones, and Lynn speculated that they must have starved or died of thirst, but apart from them, most of the creature skeletons, carapaces, and wood chips showed signs of fungal corrosion, which means that the reptiles may be the 'last survivors'.

When the fungus destroyed the entire area, they came together and started building their nests with things like the bones of some dead creatures, but why build with bones?

Lynn thinks they may have discovered a weakness in the plague fungus.

Lin studied and judged according to the plague fungi obtained on the road, and found that the fungus dust of plague fungi is more like plant seeds than the fungus dust of ordinary fungi, they are larger, and the internal structure is more complex, they themselves have a small amount of nutrients, and they also have a special ability to recognize, they generally only stick to the surface of objects that may obtain nutrients, including skeletons, wood, etc., as long as they adhere to it, they begin to grow,

And when it comes to ordinary rocks, the grains of sand do not stick to them, but continue to drift until they find nutrients, which is a fairly advanced ability that ordinary fungi do not have, but there are some problems.

They do not recognize whether the adhered object contains water or not.

These reptiles discovered this weakness in the fungus and used the sun-dried skeleton to build their nests. And put them on your body. This can adsorb a large amount of fungus dust. However, these fungal dusts begin to grow after adsorption, but because there is no way to obtain water, the small amount of nutrients originally stored in the fungal dust will be quickly depleted and die.

If they're just covered by rocks or something, they won't be able to stop the fungus from burrowing through the cracks above and into their respiratory system, but with the skeleton or wood, the fungus dust will stick to the outside before it gets in.

But even if these reptiles had a way to protect themselves, they couldn't protect other creatures. They could only watch as the entire jungle and all kinds of creatures were destroyed by the plague, and they themselves died from lack of food and water.

Lynn found that this was supposed to be a more intelligent creature, and they should not understand the structure of the plague fungus, but they just stumbled upon the 'bring bones and you won't get infected', but it is already very powerful to discover this and know how to use it.

But they are extinct...... Is it?

Perhaps, Lynn will still be able to find their traces.

These piles of bones have a relatively complete skull at the top, and they are all facing one direction, so why do they swing like this?

Maybe to indicate...... They've gone somewhere.

Leviathan, on the other hand, is now in that place.

The nests of the bone piles are basically concentrated more than two hundred kilometers south of the coast. And now Leviathan is located two hundred and thirty kilometers from the coast, here. Lynn saw a huge ...... Gorge.

The canyon was huge, like a crack in the earth, and beneath the vertical cliffs was a dark abyss, and the entire canyon was covered with a thick fog that it was impossible to see how wide it was, and Lynn couldn't be sure how big it was, maybe bigger than the canyon of the twisted jungle.

At the edge of the canyon, Lynn could also see a number of bone nests, the end of which these reptiles lived, and the skulls at the top of their nests pointed in the direction of the canyon, and on the rock walls of the canyon, Lynn found some traces of their climbing.

Does this mean they're in the canyon? Driven back by plague and fungus and hunger, these creatures can only hide in this place, which is indeed a normal thing.

Well, of course, it's worth exploring.

Leviathan flew over the canyon, and Leviathan's whole body entered this dense fog, and Lynn found that the fog was not water mist, but another kind of gas, and the fog formed by these gases enveloped the entire canyon, and there may be some special structure in the canyon that released these gases.

However, because it is a harmless gas, Lynn did not study it much.

Leviathan flew down the rock wall of the canyon, and the further down it went, the darker the surrounding vision became, and Lynn felt like entering a trench, the rock wall of the canyon went vertically, and there was no living thing on it, but there were many cracks on it, and it seemed that the strange gas that formed a dense fog was floating out of the cracks.

The reptilian traces were gone at a depth of about a hundred meters, and Lin thought that they might have fallen, or climbed back, but Lin didn't finish the exploration, and the Leviathan flew all the way to the bottom of the canyon, which was about two thousand meters deep, and under the canyon, there was a dark world.

The temperature here feels a lot higher than above, and there is a strange 'quacking' sound echoing all the time.

What appeared to be a creature call, Lynn had Leviathan stretch out its glowing tentacles and continue exploring its surroundings.

Leviathan floated slowly, and the ground where the light shone was rocks, and there seemed to be no trace of life here.

'Bang. ’

The Leviathan seemed to have hit something while searching, and Lynn lifted the tentacles to take a look, and found that it was a large sharp stone, and the stone was full of cracks, and the sound seemed to come from this stone.

Feeling suspicious......

Leviathan suddenly stretched out another tentacle and slammed into the rock, which burst open, and the rock was hollow inside, with some skeletons lying on the ground.

It was the skeleton of the reptiles, and they all seemed to be dead here, and Lynn noticed that the skull of one of the reptiles was making that sound non-stop.

Leviathan used his tentacles to remove the skull, and what was hidden underneath it was ...... A tiny creature.

This creature Lin had never seen before, it was a bit like a flying lizard, only a few centimeters long, just enough to hide in the skull, its forelimbs had two wing-like structures, its head and hind limbs were very strong, much thicker than that of a lizard, it seemed to be a cub, the sound just now was what it came from, it should not be the same kind of creature as that reptilian species.

Leviathan poked it with its tentacles, and the little creature screamed, then spread its wings and fluttered as if it wanted to fly, but it was too young to fly, so it could only keep screaming on the ground.

But Lynn felt that there seemed to be something else mixed in with this young call? (To be continued......)
