Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Journey of the White Desert
Countless mushroom trees broke and scattered under the powerful explosion, and the body of the wyvern was shattered under the pressure of the air waves, and the creator of art once again carved traces of art on this world.
Sure enough, the wyvern was quite fragile.
Looking at the massive body that had been reduced to powder, Behemoth slowly descended above the point of the explosion, sending some of the flyers close to the wyvern's shattered bones and devouring them.
This fungus can spread quite deeply, there are many hyphae that extend into the bones, most creatures like to use some structures in the bones as hematopoietic organs and immune organs, probably because the fungus has affected here, this wyvern will become so ...... Emaciated.
Plague fungi can replace immune cells to kill other bacteria or viruses that invade the organism, but they can also affect the structure of the organism itself, and then the organism becomes fragile.
In this way, the fungus monsters in the underground are easy to be cooked for this reason, and the fungus really has a lot of drawbacks.
This wyvern is not the largest, Lin thinks that it can continue to grow, in fact, some reptiles have no upper limit to growth, they grow all their lives, as long as it does not die due to accidents, it can grow for a long, long time, as for how long? It's hard to know now.
How long they can grow is a mystery, but generally they will always die from various fungi or viruses, or be eaten by other creatures, if they have the chance...... It might grow to quite a large size.
That little wyvern, you should take good care of it and see how big it can get, and now the head worm is teaching it to breathe fire. This can be a bit difficult.
After this. Lynn continued to attack the island. The phages spread, devouring mushroom trees one after another, and the underground phages also expanded, devouring the fungal balls.
At the moment, the fungus is unable to compose anything effective to fight back.
However, they are really trying to find a way to fight back.
The 'heartbeat' that had been getting faster and faster suddenly began to turn slower and slower, and finally even stopped completely, and Lynn wondered what was going on. Lynn first asks the predator to cut open some fungal balls, only to discover something wonderful......
The fungus inside is gone......
The fungus ball became hollow, like an empty egg shell, and so did many fungal balls that did not beat, and the creatures inside seemed to suddenly disappear.
Why is it gone? Is it digested? Shouldn't it be that fast, or are these meant to be empty? But the previous Lynn devoured a lot of them, and they were not empty.
The same was true on land, where Lynn noticed that the mycelium covering the ground was slowly fading, and the huge mushroom tree was turning into an empty shell like a fungus ball.
As if the mushrooms had digested themselves, they had completely turned themselves into an empty shell. With a gentle push, the whole tree fell to the ground, but Lin couldn't find where the digested nutrients had gone......
But Lynn could guess what they were doing at the moment. Presumably to stop the phage from spreading, the phage grows entirely by devouring fungi, and if they empty the nearby balls and trees, the phage really can't continue to grow.
However, the Bacteriophage can also move like a slime, albeit slowly, and Lynn found that slowly it was not only the balls and trees around the Bacteriopher, but also the balls and trees in other places that began to show this phenomenon, and the Plague Fungus seemed to decide to digest a large number of trees or fungi monsters......
But where exactly are they digested? Is it some kind of small pipe? So far, Lynn has not found anything, and the most peculiar thing is that if Lynn injects some undigested tree or fungus ball into a miniature class to observe, the fungus will not do this, it seems to stop this self-digestion once it is invaded by a foreign body.
The Chibucha bugs were also moving, and they began to dig into the ground as if they wanted to burrow deeper into the ground.
Lin didn't care too much about these things, just swallow the whole island slowly, and sooner or later she would find a place for them to hide.
Now, several days and nights have passed......
After this, Lyn's progress was quite smooth, the plague fungus did not carry out any more effective attacks, they seemed to 'shrunk', and there were no fungal monsters reappearing, almost the entire island of fungi was constantly disappearing, they disappeared very strangely, there was no smell or any other trace, Lin wondered if they had retracted into the ground, although there was no trace on the ground, but he still planned to use some troops to dig into the depths to see.
It was a slow process, the island was too big, and since there was no fierce fighting, Lynn turned her attention back to the 'Dinosaur Continent'.
Recently, the Brain Worm has stated that it wants to 'meet' Monte II, face to face, but Monte II is at risk of hiding fungi, so Lynn does not plan to bring it back to the mainland.
Lynn's attention is not about the question, but about ...... The Dragon's Thing.
Lynn's pterosaurs stayed with the group of skeptinosaurs, occasionally helping them hunt, such as spotting prey in the air, and the skeletal dragons completely regarded the pterodactyls as a ...... Wonderful storage zĂ i.
Why do you say wonderful? They treated pterosaurs differently than normal members, for example, they would give them food first, or pile a large pile of bones around them, and they would also build a 'shed' for pterosaurs, but they would be made of bones.
It's a strange feeling, they seem to think of the pterosaur as something more special than the leader.
Among the skeletal dragons, Tucker is closer to Lynn's pterosaur, he prefers to stay with Lynn's pterosaurs, like talking or something, and its shack is also set up next to the pterosaur's shack.
And now, this day is a special time, and the leader of the Skeleton Dragon has gathered all the members together, and they will make a special decision.
Going to get out of this place.
At the time of the recent war with the fungus, Lin has also been observing the situation here, the prey capture rate of the skeleton dragon is not very high, they live on the border of this salt wasteland, there are very few prey, they usually have several days and nights in a row can not get prey, although I don't know why they chose here in the first place, but the leader has already felt that he has to leave, and recently for many days and nights in a row, they have not found prey.
After spending some time with them, Lynn understood some of their words, and it was true that they didn't have complicated words, but they still had a variety of meanings.
Lynn tried to teach them some brainworm words, but they were hard to understand, probably because they didn't have a specific part of their brains about language, and even then, they had their own language.
Now, the dragons were in a circle in the hut, and a few cubs were playing near them, while the leader of the dragons was speaking in the middle.
"Quack, woo, rattle, click." The leader made a variety of sounds, which roughly meant that he was going to go far and decide which direction to go, when suddenly he raised his forelimbs and pointed into the distance, and screamed at the same time.
At this time, the dragons around the hunt immediately followed suit.
At this moment, they decided to move in the direction of the barren salt sea!
Lynn thinks it would be better to go to the forest or the river, but Lynn doesn't interfere with their decision, and they seem to prefer less dense species to species-rich areas, perhaps to avoid predators.
Although the skeleton dragons will use all kinds of things to fight, they are not very powerful, and Tucker's original group of skeleton dragons is relatively 'bold'.
When the leader decided to go, all the dragons began to prepare, and they began to take out a large pile of things from their huts.
Lynn found that they would collect a lot of things, usually sharp stones, dinosaur claws or horns of ceratosaurs, etc., which were not always used, but they liked to pile them together.
When they leave, they don't know which one to take with them.
Their bodies can store a lot of energy, so they can endure hunger for a long time, so they are not in a hurry right now.
And they also have a way to preserve food.
The dragon wrapped some of the meat in salt and buried it under the hot sand, which was sprinkled by the sun, which removed the moisture from the meat, making it dry, salty, and hard, which seemed to last for a long time, but it became very ...... Bad.
Mainly it will be very salty, 'salty' is used to describe taste, the head worm occasionally mentions this word, taste is also a kind of touch, most arthropods and reptiles have organs dedicated to taste, called 'tongue'.
Taste is used to distinguish whether food is harmful or not, and some creatures can even sense distant targets through taste, but for example, brain worms will have some sensations produced by the taste of taste, and the members of this group of skeleton dragons also have this kind of expression, and they will have different tastes.
They sometimes like to eat too much food that produces a certain taste, even if they know that eating too much food that produces a certain taste is harmful, and brain worms are quite fond of barbecue, so it seems that when their brains become larger, they will be easily affected by these feelings, and they will lose their ability to judge.
However, the skeletal dragons are more 'sensible' than the head worms, and they know what can be harmful if they eat too much.
They have to do a lot of things before burying the meat, such as cutting off some parts of the meat, and not all parts of the meat can be used, they must be carefully selected, and Lynn is curious about how they learn these things, which must have a lot to do with the fact that they live by the Salt Sea.
However, eating this very salty thing will lead to a lack of water, and the skeletal dragon used a more flexible dinosaur skin to make the shape of a pouch to store water.
After cleaning up, each skeleton dragon brought a large number of things, most of which were wrapped around their bodies with plant roots, dried meat, bone fragments, stones, and water bags.
Now, they will face an endless white desert...... (To be continued......)
