Chapter 12 Desert Ecology
Lynn's flyer saw a huge creature burst out of the ground and bite the dune monitor lizard that had almost caught the wreckage dragon in its mouth.
It was a giant worm, and the giant worm hadn't gone away yet! They may be more resistant to hypoxic environments than arthropods, and this worm looks a lot like the foggy worm, with both the carapace and the mouth, and perhaps they should all be classified as a species of giant worms, which are also found here.
The dune monitor lizard struggled in the worm's mouth, but to no avail, and it was slowly swallowed whole by the worm, and the worm fled back to the ground.
The dragon was saved again, gasping for breath as it watched the worm escape into the cavern, and fell to the ground in exhaustion.
Black shadows swirled over the wasteland under the scorching sun, and a large swarm of scavenging pterosaurs coiled in the air, waiting for the creature to turn into a corpse.
The giant dragonfly also likes to do this kind of thing, and has been circling around the head of some creature that has been lost in the desert waiting for it to die, and this small flying creature seems to have a similar personality......
After a dozen seconds, the dragon struggled to its feet, crawled to the shadow of a rock, and lay down again to rest, it was too tired, but before that, it had to pull out some small barbed balls stuck to its legs.
Lynn's thorn balls, which she calls 'hook blood cells', are the seeds of a plant that spread much more than twisted trees, and they grow barbed seeds that hook passing creatures, usually into the flesh of the creature, and then suck the blood of the creature to grow and sprout, which is slightly similar to the plague fungus, but after it sprouts, it will begin to break away from the creature's skin and fall to the ground.
Lynn's flyer also got some hook blood balls. However, it was swallowed up by the flyer with a large number of small multicellular organisms.
It's not this little creature that the flyer has to worry about. It's a relatively large ......
'Smack! ’
The flyer flapped his wings violently. Dodging a rushing creature, known to Lynn as the 'Red-crested Pterodactyl', it looks like the name, with a red crest, a wingspan of about two meters, almost double the size of a flyer, and most importantly, the creature can detect flyers in a state of discoloration.
The red-crested pterodactyl slammed into the air. It screamed, and five of its kind flew under the sky, spreading their wings and diving, opening their sharp mouths and pounced on the flyer.
It seems that the Flyer can't stay here quietly......
The aviator quickly flapped four dragonfly-like membrane wings and rushed towards the group of pterosaurs, and as he approached the pterodactyls, he suddenly passed between the two pterosaurs and flew quickly into the air.
Several pterosaurs immediately turned to catch up, and they seemed to refuse to give up, and under the scorching sun, they chased the flyer without giving up.
The flyer flew over a huge rock pillar over the plains, followed by several red-crested pterodactyls. But the moment the flyers flew up the pillar, they all turned around in fright.
On top of the stone pillars. Inhabited was a larger pterosaur with a wingspan of about seven meters wide, and this large pterosaur was so light that other pterosaurs did not dare to approach, but ...... It's not necessarily safe,
When the Flyer flew to it, it suddenly turned its head and opened its sharp mouth to bite the onrushing Flyer, a pterosaur called a 'Bomb Pterodactyl', which had no teeth but was constantly squeezing the Flyer into its stomach.
Lynn had the Flyer curl up its wings and tail, completely shrinking its body into a ball, while extending a small barb to the cortex that Lynn used to hook onto the stomach of the Bomb Pterodactyl, which also secreted a mucus to prevent stomach acid from dissolving.
As a result, the Flyer slowly begins to disintegrate itself within its body and begins to transform into another class.
Before being swallowed, the flyer released a small fluttering eyeball to observe the pterosaur outside.
The bomb pterosaur was completely unaware of the changes in its stomach, and it crawled slowly on a rock pillar about ten meters in diameter, and the pterosaur usually crawled on all fours, because of the large wing membrane attached to the forelimbs, and it was quite slow to climb.
The bomb pterosaur climbed on top of a bulbous plant unique to the top of the rock pillar, it raised its head, and poked the bulbous plant with its long beak, and the plant suddenly exploded with a 'bang', and countless tiny seeds inside splattered out like an explosion, and at the moment of the plant explosion, the pterosaur also spread its wings at the same time, and rose into the sky with the help of the impact.
That's why it's called the Bomb Pterodactyl, and it likes to use these plants that explode to spread seeds, and although it can fly on its own, it takes a lot less effort.
The bomb pterosaur flew around the pillar and then flapped its wings and flew off into the desert.
Although the small eyeball floating outside could not keep up with the speed of the pterosaur, it had been glued to the head of the pterosaur before the pterosaur flew up just now, and now the flyer slowly began to deform in the body of the pterosaur, and during this time, Lin used this eyeball to observe this world that belonged to the giant reptiles.
The bomb pterosaur flew under the scorching sun of the desert, a vibrant wasteland, completely different from the desert of the twisted jungle, and beneath the pterosaur ran a large group of dinosaurs called the Great Goose Dragon, which were being chased by two larger carnivorous dragons, the slowest one eventually captured by the carnivorous dragon, and its flesh was torn apart piece by piece under the scream.
The pterosaur flew over the heads of the two carnivorous dragons and flew towards another tall grassy rock pillar, countless small pterosaurs flew up from the grass, and a huge, full-toothed plant rushed out of the haystack, and it almost bit the bomb pterosaur.
This place is really full of dangers......
The pterosaur flew over the rock pillar, revealing a wide river across the desert in front of the pterosaur, the water was very clear, and the flow speed was very gentle, attracting many creatures to come and drink, and the pterosaur was also one of them, the bomb pterosaur flew to the side of the river, gathered its wide wings, and sucked the clear water in the lake.
Beside the pterosaurs, a group of large ceratosaurs called 'Halberds' were also drinking, and Lin found that for quite a few dinosaurs, their names could be found in their minds, but some of them were directly named by Lin herself.
These large, three-ton-plus ceratosaurs squeezed around the river, unoblivious to a large shadow watching them underwater.
Suddenly, a jaw full of sharp teeth burst out of the river, but its target was not the multi-halberds, but the pterodactyls in the river.
The pterosaur reacted almost instantly, spreading its wings and taking a few steps back to dodge the attack of the monster in the water, and then it flew high into the air again......
After leaving the river, the pterosaur flew over the rock pillars, through the wilderness, over a large group of domes, and finally as night approached, it landed on a boulder towering over the wilderness, ready to rest.
And then he died.
The pterosaur fell motionless on the rock, and its breathing stopped, appearing to be dead, but in fact, its body was in a state of intense activity......
This state lasted for a few thousand seconds, and suddenly, the pterosaur moved again, its wings and body growing a large number of jagged scales, and its head was completely surrounded by a black carapace, and the pterosaur became an unrecognizable creature.
It spread its wings and tried to flapp it to fly, but it fell off the rocks and landed on the sand below.
Sure enough, I can't fly like this.
Lin just had the Flyer dissolve the structure in the pterodactyl's body, and then try to modify its entire body, such as growing scales or carapace on its body.
Pterodactyls are extremely common creatures in the air of this continent, and the structure of their bodies is very light, generally a hollow skeleton, and their skin has no scales and is very thin, so Lin wants to try it, how about adding scales.
But it doesn't seem to be able to fly.
Pterodactyls are very different from wyverns in that they have floating air sacs in their bodies that can support larger and heavier bodies.
But the more fragile pterosaurs are everywhere, and the wyverns are almost extinct, which is amazing.
Let's go back and take a look now, I don't know what happened to the dragon.
During the time that the Flyer was on the Pterodactyl, Lynn also had some trouble at sea......
Lynn didn't count how many fungal islands there were, maybe a dozen of them, and during this time, Nellin's pilots arrived at quite a few islands, and placed phages on each of them, allowing them to slowly devour the fungus on the entire island.
When Lynn first attacked the islands with phages, the fungi had little ability to resist, and they only waited to be slowly devoured, but after Lynn recently launched an attack on many islands, some of the islands' fungi have begun to fight back.
Take this island, for example.
Ten pilots found the circular island about thirty meters in diameter in the night sky, and the entire island was covered in mycelium, so Lin prepared to attack the island.
As the pilots swooped down from above, Lynn discovered that the island had many huge pom-pom structures, which would begin to expand as the flyers approached, and then ...... 'boom!' ’
A large number of splinters rained down, consisting of stones, bones, wood chips, and other objects, and some of the flyers were shot through their bodies and wings and fell from the air.
But there was no point in doing so, as it would not hurt the phage in the pilot's body, and the phage would still be able to crawl out of the flight and devour nearby fungi.
However, this counterattack also proves that even if there is no control of the creatures, the fungus will think, and come up with a corresponding method, and most importantly, it seems that when Lin attacks one island, the fungi of the other islands will also know about it...... (To be continued......)
