Chapter 38: The Unknown

New creatures, unknown creatures......

Looking at the sky with scattered snowflakes, Lynn was thinking about what had happened before......

The Inca swarm encountered some wonderful creatures and fought with them, and some of the Inca swarm forces seemed to leave, but some fell.

And the group of creatures they encountered also left behind a strange 'lump of meat', which Lynn had seen before, something that didn't have any cellular structure but was made up of cellular components.

In fact, Lynn wasn't sure if it had any connection to the creatures.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that these creatures may not be active on the ground, and they are supposed to be a similar breed to the Atmospheric Slime, although the form is different, but the appearance is very similar, and they all have the characteristics of being very light and transparent.

This characteristic means that they are able to move in the air, and they may not belong to the common species at all, generally speaking, whether they are arthropods or vertebrates, they start with worms.

And this creature ...... Lynn thinks it's not like that, Lynn wants to study the creatures, but it's not easy to find them, and her brain's search in the air has been fruitless.

Now that the world is locked in ice, it is difficult to find any creatures, and they may all die or have escaped.

But...... Lin felt that if this creature was studied, it might be very different from the common creatures nowadays, a creature that spends a lot of time in the air, and is very different from marine and terrestrial creatures.

But that was decades ago, and there's no way to track it, and the Inca swarm doesn't know what to do now...... Maybe to another continent.

And then. That's the end of it. There are no further clues.

The Orb of Record of the Ates is affected by brainwaves. Some parts of the battle weren't clear, but Lynn felt that it was the same whether she looked at it or not, and it was impossible to figure out where they were now anyway......

This Orb of Records is so special that it should be called the 'Ball of Memory', and the brain inside is dedicated to memory, and at that time it was not this ball that observed the Inca swarm fighting, but a small bug that was scattered throughout the jungle. Observe from multiple angles and record the battle situation.

Therefore, Lin can also see the rich memory environment from multiple angles in the dream world, and these small insects should be the troops of the Yate group, and they will enter the information they see into the memory ball after recording......

Lin didn't know what the scorpion was doing with the ball, they just buried it in the ground and did nothing...... And the daily chat never mentions the matter of this ball.

It was a strange feeling, and then Lynn tried to communicate with them using 'Spy', but the spy was soon discovered.

It's not that they feel the difference in this spy, it's that the scorpion discovers that the spy is an extra scorpion.

It seems that each scorpion is very aware of the number of scorpions in the community and even the personality of the individual, and they find the 'spy' very strange. Suspicion of where the spy came from.

So, Lynn used a different approach. Use a miniature unit to enter the body of a standing scorpion, then contact its brain nerves in the same way as before, and then control its body movements.

However, the current method is a bit more upgraded than the previous one, and now it is possible to control the zhì without cutting the nerves, so it will not cripple the accused.

Lin later discovers that the scorpions plan to dig up the ball for a 'legacy'.

The scorpion's cubs don't inherit memories, but with this thing, they have a way, they don't have to waste effort to teach the cubs, but they can get all the knowledge in an instant.

Indeed, how to pass on all the existing knowledge to future generations is a big problem, and this method is very good, because the process is cumbersome, and after learning quickly, there will be no delay in growth.

And in this regard, the ancient squid and the skeleton dragon also do a good job, they let the cubs move freely, observe other older people to learn, so that their intelligence can be stimulated in learning.

The Scorpions still live on the island safely, and most of the Brain Monsters are caught by them and asked where the treasure is.

There are not only flying scorpions, but also other species of standing scorpions and even standing scorpion worms, which seem to want to use the Orb of Records to transform into various forms to adapt to the cold environment around them, so as to capture more prey.

The different forms of scorpions also chat with each other, and there is no separation between them, as if everyone looks the same.

Lynn could call them 'quasi-divisional species'.

As for the brain-making monsters, it seems that they can't be transformed with the Orb of Record, but they still cherish these 'treasures' very much, and the detailed reasons are not clear, and they may still inherit the will of the mastermind...... Protect these balls.

It can be seen here that the Brain Monster is a creature with no 'future', and the Scorpion is constantly working for its own future.

In addition to the scorpion and the brain-maker, Rin also made some observations of the Wyverns, and Rin also found them in other places, they seem to be flying very scattered, but almost all of them have their own way of life.

Shortly after this, a pom-pom ball had brought the orb of record back to the head worm.

"Never use stupid things!" Lin originally thought that the head worm would say this, but the head worm didn't say anything, in fact, it didn't seem to have the spirit to say it......

Because the rocky mountain it created was not fully warm, and the lack of food in the vicinity had made it listless, and most of the troops had fallen into a deep sleep.

So, it won't say no now, even if it's from something 'stupid'.

Lin found that if the head worm asked the queen to absorb the 'information' in the ball of record, and then introduced it to the newborn larvae, the larvae could really produce some strange mutations.

The Orb of Records has a special organ for the 'information cells', and the Queen has organs that are perfect for absorbing these cells and can accurately extract the information inside...... The head worm does have a connection with the Yate group...... But when did they start separating?

However, the mutated larvae are not normal, and the shape of the adults that hatch afterwards is very deformed, as if something is wrong, but this is only a preliminary test, and after discovering the possibility of mutation, the head worm began to do a lot of testing.

Lin also made some careful observations on its mutations, which are mainly caused by cell division and reorganization, which may cause the adult worm to grow more limbs or have abnormal body shape, so that the head worm needs more tests until one of the larvae changes successfully.

Lynn's main focus was on intracellular changes, and Lynn found that these 'messages' were extracted from the Queen's body, and then transformed and injected into the larvae's body, which were then absorbed by a special organ and then mutated.

The initial mutation is only manifested in the skin of the larvae, and it is possible that the larva's outer skin will harden a little, but not very much.

The biggest change is when the larvae dissolves themselves into worms after they have formed a cocoon.

It's a wonderful process, and it's clear that Lynn discovers that all living things rely on the information hidden in the nucleus of their cells to change themselves.

And Lynn seems to be a little different, and the information within these cells doesn't seem to be that important to Lynn.

But the head worm doesn't know how long it will take to change something useful, so it may need Lynn's help...... Stay in the canyon......

Lynn continued to observe the changes in the world as usual.

Another year...... Time passed quickly, and this cold was longer than the four hundred days and nights of winter in the Northern Continent, but there was no sign of turning back.

Lin found that another head worm, Amon, had also left the island where it had lived, and that it had built a ship like a head worm in the early days, but it did not use the ship, but instead had its troops tread on the frozen sea.

Now, unlike the thin ice at the beginning, the ocean has been covered in a thick layer of ice, and even Lynn's ark has been frozen on the seashore, making it difficult to move.

Where will this Amun go? Lynn didn't know what they were thinking, but she didn't pay any particular attention.

Now there is very little snow on the mainland, and it seems that the moisture in the air has turned into ice crystals, but storms are still very common, and the transparent shell on the canyon is often covered by various impurities blown by the storm, and now what Lin often has to do is to clean up these impurities and keep the environment bright in the canyon.

Then it was time to observe how the rare creatures of this world lived, and then another two years passed.

The Head Worm has finally mutated into a class that radiates warmth and light, and it is planning to use it to grow plants.

Although it was not entirely on its own, it managed to survive outside, unlike Monte III, who still sleeps in that cave, leaving his life completely in the hands of fate and Mao Yu.

Because some of them had also run into the cave and slept with Monte III, it seemed that most of them had chosen to hibernate, while some remained active, but they were no longer visible on the ground.

There is little other creature to see in this frozen world, life is scarce in the ocean, many coral reefs have disappeared, and creatures such as large sharks have also become extinct, and only in the vicinity of hot springs are there a concentration of life.

After the past three years, the ocean has completely turned into land, and all that can be seen on the endless ice crystals is the crater of meteorites, and the world seems to be on the verge of collapse...... (To be continued......)
