This is...... Volcano?

The three arks swam slowly across the gray seabed, and many huge fissures could be seen on the seabed, and the rumbling sound was accompanied by a large amount of smoke and dust coming out of the cracks.

This phenomenon seems to be more common in the sea, and as the ark swims over it, it can feel the heat contained in the smoke, which is filled with a large amount of debris and even some living things.

The dragons on the ark had seen this phenomenon for the first time, and they were amazed by the smoke at the bottom of the sea, and gathered around the edge of the ark to observe.

'Boom! Suddenly Lynn heard a loud noise, and a larger crack suddenly burst into the seabed, and a large amount of smoke and dust gushed out of it.

The bottom of the sea here seemed unstable, and Lynn asked the ark to speed up and quickly swam away from the place.

Lin might have done more exploration in normal times, but for now the creatures need to be transported to safety.

After leaving an area that could be volcanic, the ark arrived at a ...... An area that is clearly volcanic.

The topography of the sea here is rather peculiar, and there are more than ten meters of cone-shaped rocks standing everywhere on the seabed, and there are many cracks in the rocks, and a large amount of columnar smoke is gushing out of these cracks......

But unlike before, there are many creatures in the water, and there are quite a lot of creatures around the smoke column, such as worms, sea urchins, trilobites, etc.

They all feed on smoke from water, which contains a lot of fungi, and fungi feed on nutrients in the smoke, which is a common phenomenon. But. There are some things that are very peculiar.

Creatures of wonderfully shimmering colors were swimming around the ark. They...... Observing the Ark.

These creatures were about ten centimeters long, and shimmered in a variety of colors around the ark in great numbers, and they were creatures that Lynn was more familiar with, the ancient squid.

Did these ancient squid spread so far away? Lynn noticed that most of them were holding rocks or some kind of sharp object, and some of the ancient squid tried to stab the clear shell of the back of the ark with a sharp object, as if trying to make a hole to get into.

Lin found that the ancient squid did seem to be developing, compared to the previous small group, now this group is an extremely large group, and the entire group may have more than 100,000. At the same time, they are constantly changing colors, which is a way for them to communicate with each other, and ancient squid do not have any 'language', but their ability to change color is equivalent to 'words'.

However, they still seem to be very simple about the combination of tools, they just pick up some sharp things to use as 'weapons', and Lin thinks that they are probably similar to wild skeleton dragons or white skeleton dragons, and do not use overly complicated things.

But it is also a matter of course, if there is no special 'teaching', Lynn thinks that the individual creatures will stay in this period for a long time, until they take some special turn.

"Gah. What's that? "It's as if they're holding spears and trying to poke us." "It's weird." The skeletal dragons also noticed the group of ancient squid on the back of the ark, and they watched the color-changing creatures curiously and began a discussion.

Lin didn't quite understand the 'language' of the ancient squid. However, they were also clearly discussing the ark and the skeletal dragons on it, and some of the ancient squids even stabbed the skeletal dragons in the face, but they were all bounced open by the transparent chitin......

'Oosh......' Suddenly, Lynn heard a strange sound, and the ancient squid that surrounded the ark suddenly changed into a bright color as if frightened, and then they swam away from the ark and swam to the seabed, burrowing into the small holes in the seabed......

It seems that they live beneath this seabed? Maybe they've built a 'city' underground, and Lynn immediately wants to take a look at them.

But for now, let's take a look at what's ahead.

It wasn't something else that made the ancient squid escape, but a ...... Creature.

The creatures appeared in the sea in front of the ark, looking like a kind of salamander-like creatures, and they were numerous, numbering hundreds, each of which was more than five meters long.

Lynn slowed the ark down and watched with the skeletal dragon and the emerald dragon as the salamanders swam by, and Lynn noticed that the salamanders had many wrinkles in their skin, and in these wrinkles was a small creature that was picking at it—the ancient squid.

They...... Are you carrying an ancient squid?

The salamanders swam around the ark, they seemed to be curious about the ark, but they seemed to have other things to do, and as they approached the seabed, they saw a large number of ancient squid swimming out of the salamander and rushing down with various 'weapons'.

At the same time, a large number of ancient squid appeared from the small hole in the seabed, and the ancient squid on both sides fought together, and the salamanders also joined the battle, and they devoured the group of ancient squid that emerged from the seabed.

I see, this is a war, have they reached the point where they can fight this kind of war? But are the salamanders a symbiotic species? They don't seem to be able to distinguish their targets when devoured, and sometimes they will devour their own ancient squid, but most of the time they will change a special color to allow the salamander to recognize itself.

And the ancient squid that live on the seabed don't change this color, and this seems to be the feeling that they don't speak this language......

In addition to stabbing directly, they also sprayed sharp objects on their spouts, although it was very simple, but the fight was quite crazy, and it didn't take long for a large number of corpses to float in the sea, even the group of salamanders with a length of more than five meters could not eat it all.

Are they already waging a war of this magnitude against their own kind? Although it is not known what their purpose is, it may be a matter of snatching food, and the thoughts of individual creatures at this stage are relatively simple.

Although the skeletal dragons were on the back of the ark and could not see the battle close to the seabed, Lynn could show them through the Guò Displayer, and both the Skeleton and Emerald Dragons were startled when the huge display opened up under the various rocky mountains, but they were quickly attracted by the image inside......

This scene surprised them again, and this time the reason for surprise was different from the previous ones.

In the past, I saw something new and wonderful, but this time I saw something very familiar.

The war of the ancient squids reminded these dragons of themselves. (To be continued......)
