Chapter 186: The chase to the end
"Woo......"
What is this sound? The unheard cry mingled with the little creature in front of the Leviathan, echoing with it, but not from the same location.
The location of the transmission is in ...... Topmost!
Leviathan immediately lifted its glowing tentacles upward, only to see that in the light, a large creature suddenly swooped down, this creature landed on Leviathan's back, and kept scraping on it with its mouth and claws, but it couldn't get rid of Leviathan's carapace.
Leviathan stretched out another tentacle and slammed into the creature's body, knocking it off its back, and the creature rolled on the ground a few times before standing up again, and it quickly rushed to Leviathan, blocking between Leviathan and the small creature from before.
They, it seems, are of the same kind?
The Leviathan shone light on the creature, which looked almost exactly the same as the little creature, with forelimbs attached to the wing membranes, standing only on its thick hind legs, with a round head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a lizard from head to tail, but Lynn had never seen a lizard that large, including the tail was about six meters long, although it was still small compared to the ten-meter Leviathan.
The name 'flying lizard' has already been used, so what is the best name to use? In Lynn's thoughts, some relatively large reptiles like this don't seem to be suitable for being called 'lizards', so let's call them ...... 'dragons', yes, it feels good to call this creature 'flying dragons'.
A dragon refers to some kind of large, wonderful, powerful creature, just like a tornado also means dragon.
The 'Wyvern' in front of Leviathan kept roaring in front of the cub, as if it wanted to protect the cub.
Does it seem that the little dragon was produced by it? Could it be that their lair is in this dark canyon?
The Wyvern roared at the Leviathan as it stepped back, as if it didn't want to fight the massive Leviathan. But I don't want to leave the pups either. When it backs away enough from the pup. Suddenly, it turned around and picked up the cub with its mouth, and then immediately spread its wings and flew high into the air.
Seeing this, Leviathan immediately followed behind the wyvern, and when the wyvern saw Leviathan following, he immediately increased the speed of flapping his wings, and Lynn didn't know if it wanted to fly towards the lair, some creatures would lure the enemy away from its lair.
In the depths of the dark canyon, the Wyvern looks unimpeded. Lynn heard a small 'click' sound, and the wyvern seemed to be exploring the space around it with its echoes.
Leviathan can easily keep up with this flying creature with a jet system, and the wingspan of the wyvern is much larger than its own length, but it flies a little slower than the likes of giant dragonflies, which has a lot to do with it, but the main reason is ...... It's a matter of body structure.
The Wyvern kept turning during the flight, trying to shake off the Leviathan, and the Leviathan chased the Wyvern while using echo detection to detect its surroundings, as it was a place it had never been. In the echoes, Lynn could 'see' many white objects. The white objects mean 'unpainted', which means never-before-seen, and the shapes of these objects feel strange, some are spiky ovoid objects, some are columnar objects, and then they are covered with twig-like branches.
Moreover, Lin found that this canyon was quite large, and it was currently speculated that it could be an area of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers wide, no smaller than the canyon formed by the underground world of the twisted jungle, and it could be even larger.
At this moment, Leviathan noticed an area of small rocky mountains in front of him, and the Wyvern immediately burrowed between them, and flew around them, trying to evade Leviathan's pursuit.
The Leviathan was too large to travel between the rocky mountains, so Lynn asked the Leviathan to open the muzzle of the main gun and fired a blaster into the air.
'Boom! ’
As the bomb exploded, a burst of light illuminated the entire canyon, and the wyvern was frightened by the sudden flash of light, and rushed out of the rocky mountain area, fleeing into the distance.
The flash lasted only a few seconds, and darkness soon cleared up around it, and Leviathan continued to chase the wyvern to see where it was headed.
And in these few seconds, Lin also saw a lot of wonderful things, the strange structure on the ground that she saw just now seemed to be a plant, and more creatures seemed to slowly appear here, and the plague fungus didn't seem to affect the appearance of this place, maybe there was something special in the canyon that prevented them from drifting in.
At this moment, the wyvern flew over a large black area, followed closely by Leviathan, this black area was actually a swamp filled with mud, and Lin found that these mud fields seemed to be flowing, and various bubbles were constantly emerging from them, these bubbles continued to expand on the swamp, and then exploded with a 'bang', and the smell wafting from it stimulated Leviathan's sense of smell.
Lynn had seen some mires that usually contained poisonous gases and other dangerous gases, which seemed to be related to the sediment in the mire, but the smell was not poisonous gas, but ...... The smell of carrion......
The Wyvern flew fairly close to the surface of the mire, and it kept flapping its tail against the mud as it turned its head to look at the Leviathan as if it wanted to do something.
'Bang! ’
Suddenly, the mud beneath the wyvern burst open, and a large mouth full of fangs like pincers burst out of the mud and bit the wyvern's body.
The wyvern screamed and struggled violently, but its movements only lasted about two seconds before it was pulled into the mud by the big mouth, and its entire body slowly began to sink into the mud.
There are such large creatures in this mud field, no wonder there is a smell of corpses inside.
Leigh flew up close to observe the wyvern, its wings flapping on the mud floor, but to no avail, the mud drowning its tail, body, wings, neck......
"Woo......"
It let out one last scream, and its head sank into the mud, and it was now dragged into the abyss of the mire by the monsters in the mud.
Lin reckoned that the wyvern knew that there were monsters here, so he kept slapping the mud surface as he flew to lure them out to attack the Leviathan, but the monster ate it.
This is a matter of course, the average predator will choose the Wyvern that looks easier to deal with, rather than the larger Leviathan that looks more difficult to deal with, the Wyvern is estimated to be chased in a hurry, losing the basic judgment ability, not that mud creature is also quite big, and the mouth is half the length of the Wyvern's body.
It felt strange to look at that mouth, it was a creature that Lin had never seen before, but if there was such a large predator here, it meant that there should be a lot of large creatures nearby, and the plague fungus really didn't affect this side.
"Ga ......"
Suddenly, a young voice came from nearby.
Lin found that the little wyvern was still on the mud, and it seemed that the big wyvern spit it out when it screamed, and it was too light to sink in.
Leviathan pulled the little wyvern up from the mud with his tentacles, and almost at the same time, the large mouth that had devoured the wyvern in the swamp suddenly burst out and bit Leviathan's body.
Then it released almost instantly, retracting into the swamp.
The creature seemed to have a strong judgment ability, and it was estimated that it could tell that it could not eat the Leviathan the moment it bit it, so it let it go.
Many creatures have this kind of quick judgment, including some with very small brains, as if they have little to do with intelligence.
Leviathan curled the wyvern's cub with his tentacles and watched carefully, Lynn was thinking about whether to break it down, only this pup might not be able to find its group or lair, but it could also attract other adult wyverns, so it was better to take it for the time being.
Then Lin took the cub around the canyon for a while, this area is a large mud swamp, in the swamp occasionally see some plants and small arthropods, such as flies in this place is very numerous, they are all small species, Lin has seen large creatures.
Maybe there are occasional large creatures flying down, like the Wyvern just now, and in this dark space, these plants don't grow a single leaf, and Lin estimates that they rely entirely on their roots to absorb nutrients from swamps or underground, and become fungal-like creatures.
As long as it's not a plague fungus, there's nothing wrong with that.
Lynn flew all the way south, to the other side of the canyon, and after passing the marshland, it was still rocky ground, but there was more life here, there were many spiky plants growing here, and Lynn also saw a wonderful reptilian creeping.
Round and thick, with a length of only one meter and a height of about thirty centimeters, this small creature has a long plate-shaped bone structure behind its head, which makes it completely different from common reptiles.
The Leviathan flew over the plains below the canyon and found many of these creatures in the canyon, and their eyes were all intact, which means that they haven't been here for long and their eyes haven't degenerated.
They should be from a certain ...... It's a bright place, but where is that?
Leviathan sped over the plains of the canyon, and the farther she flew inward, the more creatures Lynn saw, and even some reptiles similar to those seen in the twisted jungle, though most of them had never been seen.
The creatures here are like twisted jungles, arthropods are small, reptiles are larger, but they give Lynn a special feeling...... It seems that these arthropods did not suddenly become smaller, but that they had been so small for a long time, that they had evolved many special species, and that the larger reptiles had filled the environment.
Suddenly, Leviathan flew to the end.
In front of the Leviathan, a huge rock wall appeared, this is the opposite side of the canyon, the whole canyon is about ten kilometers wide, quite large, but what will be on top of it?
"Gah!" The Wyvern let out a roar, and it flopped and looked up the cliff.
So ...... Let's go up and have a look! (To be continued......)
