Chapter 171: Strange Creature
This thing...... It's really weird.
Now the earthquake has slowly stabilized, and Lynn's underground base has hardly encountered any problems, whether it is near the epicenter or far away, there has been no damage, this base can indeed resist this earthquake perfectly,
If you don't encounter this problem, it can really be called perfect.
In the room where the brain was, on the wall just above the brain, there was a slight crack in the carapace, not because of an earthquake, but because of the dissolved fluid.
Although some of the carapace of Lin's base is very resistant to compression, there is no structure to protect against the dissolved liquid, only the ability to resist corrosive substances in the soil.
And after decomposing this dissolved liquid, Lin found that it contained ingredients that she had never seen before, and the nearby underground creatures would not secrete this dissolved liquid.
Why did some new organism come here during an earthquake and dissolve the carapace of the brain chamber?
Lin thought of a lot of answers, generally before the earthquake, including some worms that lived underground, all creatures would try to escape, rather than stay here, and this creature didn't look like it couldn't move, Lynn used some small classes to drill through the cracks in the carapace, and could find the traces left by this creature.
It was presumably a small beetle-shaped creature, about thirty centimeters long, and Lynn now tracked it with the 'Mud Driller' following the traces it had dug in the dirt.
The creature was apparently able to move slowly through the earth during an earthquake, presumably a very strange creature, and Lynn had documented all the creatures in the vicinity for several years. Even the species of bacteria in the soil. But no similar creatures have been found. Moreover, it secretes a large amount of lysate to dissolve the room where the brain is located, which is somewhat incomprehensible.
The main thing is that it doesn't make sense, there is no food in it, it takes a lot of energy to secrete so much dissolved liquid to dissolve through the thick crust of the base, and it doesn't need to be deliberately present during an earthquake.
Apparently the creature did it on purpose, rather than passing by and trying to get in, and the biggest mystery is why it dissolved and escaped instead of getting in.
What is this qiē? Maybe finding this creature will solve this problem.
Now the mud drillers still follow its trail. The creature had a peculiar smell, similar to the dissolved fluid it secreted, a smell that allowed Lynn to keep track of it.
This thing seems to be running very fast, it didn't take long to find out that Rind and Lin sent troops to find it, and Rin's mud driller was also very fast, but now it has been almost a thousand seconds since he tracked the smell in the mud, and he hasn't found it yet.
Wait a minute...... Pregnant......
Suddenly, the Mud Driller spotted something strange in front of him, a small yellow ball that smelled of dissolved liquid, and the Mud Driller quickly swallowed it......
Lynn discovers that this thing is a secretory gland. It is specially used for secreting lytic liquids.
Strange, why are the secretory glands here? Could it be that the creature could have detached the secretory gland from its body and left it in this place?
Isn't that amazing...... Did it know that Lynn was tracking it? So deliberately let go of this gland and escape? It doesn't feel likely, why does it know that Lynn is following?
However, even if the gland is lowered, it still has a smell on its body, and Lynn can continue to track it...... It can't escape.
As Lyn's mud driller continued to move forward, Lin was slowly recovering from the earthquake, and although there were usually aftershocks after an earthquake, Lynn knew that these aftershocks were small and she didn't need to worry about them at all.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that many trees in the jungle have been shaken and staggered, and in fact, being hit by falling things is the main reason for the death of the creatures, and the ground is just shaking around if there are no cracks, and it really won't hurt much.
Some of the trees have not fallen, many of them are earthquake-resistant species, and some of the dinosaurs that walked across the bridge have now begun to move back.
The main reason is that many trees were knocked down by the earthquake, and many dinosaurs were able to eat leaves and fruits that they could not eat before.
Lynn lowered all the green carpet trees that had risen into the air back to the ground, continuing their previous uses, while Lynn had to check for loose dirt underground, etc.
Lynn found that there are many reasons for earthquakes, although they can be predicted every time, but because of different reasons, the predicted time is also different, most of the time it is due to the cracking of underground rock formations, and sometimes there are occasional sudden earthquakes.
Therefore, it is necessary to be fully prepared, if this earthquake occurs in the city of emerald dragons, they are afraid that they will be in trouble, and the houses built by those emerald dragons are not very earthquake-resistant, and it is estimated that they have not been shaken there much......
Got it!
As Lynn gripped the aftermath of the earthquake, the mud driller finally found the target, the creature that secreted the dissolving.
It looked like a beetle, about thirty centimeters long, as Lynn had predicted, but it wasn't a real beetle.
Actually, Lynn doesn't know what kind of creature it is, it has a streamlined carapace that covers its whole body like a beetle, but it doesn't have the joints of a beetle, almost its whole body is sealed, there are small holes on both sides of the carapace, and it has a small arthropod to move out, and it has no mouth on its head, and it has a hole in the tail that can be opened and closed, it is estimated that it relies on this place to release the dissolved liquid, and it is estimated that it also uses this position to eat and excrete at the same time......
Eating and excreting in the same place...... This is only the case with fairly primitive creatures, but this thing has relatively advanced organs.
By the time Lin found the creature, it was already dead, and there were scars in its body, as if it had forcibly pulled out the gland in its body, but in fact this thing was also its gastric juice, and sooner or later it would not survive......
What kind of creature is this? I've never seen it before, so why did it pop up during an earthquake? And run to the room where the brain is dissolved......
Lynn thought of a possibility, maybe the creature was drawn to the brain?
Lynn's dream brain is very large, currently about fifty centimeters in diameter, and it will release some brain waves like other creatures when it moves.
Because it is larger, its brainwaves are also more powerful, and Lin wonders if it is possible that this creature is attracted to brainwaves, and it has a sensory organ in its body that is very suitable for receiving this kind of signal.
Lin wanted to see if she could attract another similar creature, so Lin created several classes to release more brainwaves, and Lin also created more mud drillers to roam the nearby underground to see if she could find another one.
Lynn has many ideas about this creature, but it is still impossible to determine what it is, a small soldier of a division of labor? Or just ordinary wild species......
This can only be known to the group that discovers them......
The next thing is to wait, looking for something in the mud is not so easy to find, attraction is a more effective way.
While waiting, Lynn could continue to see what was going on about the Emerald Dragons......
The team of Mukla and the Flying Spear had already set out, both of them riding on wurms, while the other two hundred Emerald Dragon guards were gone.
When they walked out of the city, there were many jade dragons watching, and there was a whispering discussion between them, there was something about Susumi, although Susumi left the matter of not spreading it, but I don't know how there were still ordinary layers of jade dragons knowing, and now many jade dragons are quietly talking about it, some jade dragons think that Susumi has obtained Doruk's egg, and there are some guesses if there is something wrong......
Seeing the situation, Mukla was determined to get Susumi back.
And the Flying Spear didn't know what he was thinking......
After they left, Lynn's spies remained in the city, observing the changes here, and Lin found that the noble Emerald Dragons who had been meeting before had begun to prepare, and they began to decorate themselves more 'ornately', and began to co-opt some of the Emerald Dragons who supported her......
It seems that many emerald dragons have decided that Susumi is dead and are planning to start fighting for the throne, but these nobles are all in the same position, and they usually do similar things, and it is really difficult to choose one of them.
They usually either sleep in the house, or find ways to decorate all kinds of things to compare with other nobles, although they are not worried about eating and drinking, but they are really boring.
Only a few emerald dragons have other hobbies, such as art and invention, but these emerald dragons are not good at fighting, and they cannot compete for the throne.
In fact, there are very few battle commanders of the Emerald Dragon, except for Mukla and the Flying Spear, but it is also the Emerald Dragon who supports Susumi, and it also believes that Susumi is still alive and has no idea of becoming the throne.
That's it, time passed slowly, these nobles didn't make any special moves, and the ordinary people were still busy, although the rumors about Susumi were very powerful, nothing special happened in the whole city.
After confirming that nothing would happen in the city, Lin felt that it was really necessary to follow the search party to take a look, wondering if they would be able to find Susumi. (To be continued......)
