Chapter 107: Lost Voices
'Bang! There was another explosion, and the nearly two-meter-long cone on the tortoise's back shot out towards the Leviathan, and the Leviathan used the emergency jet to dodge the attack in an instant, and the missed cone plunged directly into the center of a tree behind the Leviathan.
The tree was almost pierced, but there was no response, could it be that the branches were screaming?
As Lin was thinking, the tortoise was also moving, and it was slowly turning its body, because there were only two cones on its back that could be fired forward, and if it wanted to shoot other cones, it had to turn around.
But when it turned around, its huge body touched the tree it had bitten, and the not-so-thick trunk was pressed to the side by the tortoise's tremendous force, and its roots were broken one by one, and then the whole tree fell to the ground with a bang, and the crystalline bark of its whole body was smashed together with the branches.
"Ahh!!h
At this moment, a scream instantly resounded throughout the crystallized woodland! The sound was so high-pitched that it was a huge irritation to Leviathan's auditory tentacles, and the tortoise seemed to be unable to stand it, and it stopped turning and let out a roar of rage at the fallen tree.
The screaming tree and the tortoise seemed to be roaring at each other, and the tortoise tried to overpower the tree with its own voice, but the screams grew louder and louder, as if it could not stand the stimulation of the eardrums, and the tortoise finally lost the battle, and it fled with its head 'fast'.
Leviathan fired a small sticky bullet at the tortoise as a marker, and floated to the side of the fallen tree.
The sound was quite a prick, and it had already done a lot of damage to Leviathan's auditory tentacles after a few hundred seconds. It finally stopped. The sound doesn't seem to be coming from a tree. But...... Ground floor.
At the point where the tree was broken, Lynn found silk threads that connected to the trunk and then extended to the branches......
Lynn felt that the branches were some kind of trigger structure that would scream whenever they were touched.
Leviathan reached out his tentacles and dug into the tree's root system, and Lin found that the tree's root system was not completely covered in crystals, and seemed to be very long. But the structure is fragile, so just now the tortoise was able to break the tree lightly.
After digging for a while, Lynn unearthed a strangely shaped ...... Thing, all the silk threads are connected to this thing, it is like an ammonite shell, the outer layer is covered with crystals, Leviathan reached into the shell to explore, and at the same time Lynn also saw that there seemed to be some liquid flowing in the shell, and then injected some miniature troops into it.
After conducting a period of research, Lynn found ...... This thing. is an organ.
Its role is mainly ...... Make a sound, that's what it screamed just now. There is a sound sac-like structure inside, which can be continuously vibrated to produce sound, as if the feeling of being 'cold' has nothing to do with it.
Why does this tree have this structure? Is it used for defense? It doesn't seem to look like it, it made a very small sound when it was bitten by a tortoise before, and it only made a loud sound when it was pushed down, so it didn't help much, this thing was at the root under the trunk, so Lin hadn't noticed this strange structure before......
Regardless of its usefulness, the main thing is that Lynn also found that the biggest feature of this thing is that it can 'record' sounds, and after receiving a sound, it will play it back out exactly as it was originally, and it may also retain multiple sounds for a long time......
In the past, the silk threads were indeed receptors, and when the silk threads were stimulated, they would immediately transmit to this organ, and it would emit these sounds, because the receptors were only at the end of the silk threads, so only when the branch was injured would make sounds, and this response mechanism was somewhat like a plant called 'mimosa', so maybe it could ......
Leviathan uses its discharged tentacles to mimic the signals of silk threads and gently delivers an electric shock to this organ.
"Ahh!!h The scream from before suddenly rang out, and Lin didn't know what kind of creature it was called, but it should be able to change to something else.
Lin clicked a few more times, and sure enough, the tree made something else......
"Gah!" Wow! "Whew!" "Oooo All sorts of sounds came from this organ, including the roar of the cone tortoise before, and some other creature calls that Lynn had heard, but most of them didn't recognize, this organ had the ability to distinguish sounds, it would only record the cries of creatures, not footsteps or wind.
And in the midst of the creature cries, Lynn hears one: "Help ......".
This is the word for a brain worm, Lynn once taught Susumi, and sure enough, Susumi was here, and it was still begging for help at the time?
Unfortunately, I don't know how long ago this was the voice, Leviathan called a few more times, and found that there were about a dozen sounds of this thing, and only one of them was Susumi's voice.
Maybe other trees have recorded this sound as well? Thinking about it, Leviathan dropped this organ and flew to other nearby trees, listening to their voices and not having to knock them down, just reaching into the mud, burrowing into the roots, finding this organ and giving it an electric shock.
The tree also spotted Susumi's voice, which, like the previous one, was "Help." ”
Then Lin continued to try many trees, and when she was far away, Lin heard different Susumi voices, such as: "Hungry, food", "Cold ......", "Rin......", "Lost......", "Water......", etc.
The farther away, the weaker Susumi's voice became, but it didn't seem to be under any attack, and the sounds recorded by the trees in the depths became less and less, until only Susumi's voice remained.
Leviathan tracked a kilometer through the crystallized woodland, feeling that Susumi was moving very slowly, and Lynn speculated that it had been in one place for almost many days and nights, and that Lynn had taught it that in this case, it should stop and wait for help, and it didn't seem to do so, but ran around, but instead of going back out of the jungle, it went deeper and deeper.
Susumi looked weaker and weaker by the end, and could feel from the recorded voice that death was approaching it, there was no water or food here, and the emerald dragon didn't know how long it would live.
The Leviathan had walked almost two kilometers, and the sound heard from the trees had almost disappeared, and it was possible that it would eventually ......
"Lynn ......"
Suddenly, Lynn heard a small voice.
The sound didn't come from the trees, it came from nearby! (To be continued......)
