Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Blue of the Past
It is a blue world, and the sky and the earth are filled with a strange blue luster, and the land under this light is also inhabited by all kinds of creatures......
A view on the surface of the sea, gazing at this qiē......
On the gray beach, a group of radishes were chasing each other, and there was a black vine growing on their sand, and one of the small radishes accidentally touched the vine in the process of tracking, and its body seemed to be glued, and it could not break free no matter how hard it struggled.
At this time, the surrounding turnips gathered as if they wanted to help, but they seemed to have no way to pull the little turnips off the vines.
At this time, the perspective in the sea suddenly moved forward, and the radish on the beach was suddenly frightened and fled, but the little radish that couldn't break away was useless no matter how much it screamed, and when the perspective approached, its body suddenly crooked, as if it had been bitten below.
After catching the prey, the perspective retreats into the sea and dives underwater, and at the same time, the surrounding scenery changes, and all kinds of creatures swim in the water, they are strange and strange, and the perspective of grasping the radish is through a group of rocks floating in the water, swimming to the bottom of the sea at a deeper level.
With the sound of 'Kara', the radish in view instantly turned into countless fragments, and a large amount of blood-like liquid spread out in the water......
'......Boom'
Suddenly, a strange noise rang out, and the surrounding scenery began to change at a rapid pace.
Then, the surrounding scene changed again, and a cloudy scene appeared, as if it was surrounded by dust. The sight lasted for a while. It was dark. Nothing is shown.
Seem...... It's over.
As if there was something wrong with this, Lin looked at the surroundings in the dream, and after confirming that it was no longer displayed, she restored the surrounding scenery to its original appearance.
That's the memory of this creature...... I guess it's a part of my memory, but there are some vague places......
Leviathan now grasps an eel-shaped creature with its tentacles and connects it to its body with neural wires, bringing it into a dream for observation.
The previous perspective is its perspective, and the memory is also a matter of the time when it preys......
This creature has a brain. Unlike other moon creatures, its brain is closer to the brain of a creature on a pom-pom, and although it is not identical, Lynn can detect its memory.
Other creatures, such as turnips, gravel monsters, and the like, don't have brains that resemble pom-poms, but they do have some ganglia-like structures that can release brainwaves, but they are too strange to be parsed at this time.
And this creature ...... Let's call it a bone eel now, Lynn sees a lot of things on it.
This bony eel has a layer of knotted bones that surround the internal organs. The structure of this bone seems to allow it to filter harmful dust from the water, so it can swim in the ocean.
But it itself is very confused about the current situation. In fact, it just woke up not long ago.
Most of its cells appear to be weak, a sign that it has just woken up, and Lin speculates that it is engaged in a hibernation-like activity.
The bone eel's mouth has many sharp teeth, and there is a special water spray device on the tail, which allows it to reach extremely high speeds, and this qiē is prepared for hunting, not to find food in this dusty sea......
That is, it is not a creature of this 'era', and the memories it has seen before are also its memories of the past.
Looking at the past, it seemed that the Moon Sea was full of creatures, and the radish was also moving around the edge of the island, and Lin also saw some plant-like creatures, and the moon at that time seemed to have no storms, and there was not so much dust in the water......
Something happened after that that made this month like this......
Although the memory is not obvious as what happened, Lin can surmise what seems to be a strong explosion...... The site of the explosion may be on the debris-laden island.
It was apparently an island, but the explosion turned into a crater, but Lynn thinks there may have been more than one explosion.
On some other islands, even in the sea, explosions can occur, causing many places to be shattered, and the whole month is surrounded by harmful dust, and the climate has become abnormal, and a large number of organisms have begun to become extinct.
The explosions left their mark in many places, and now, the Leviathan was swimming in a very suspicious part of the sea.
There is a huge crater on the seabed here, and the surrounding area of the crater seems to be squeezed open, Leviathan had been to this place before, but it was not visible because it was buried in dust, but after careful exploration, Lynn found that there was a large deep pit under the dust.
There must have been explosions like this in other places, they should not have occurred at the same time, but many times in succession, and these explosions may have been caused by blowing up some more dangerous places, such as submarine volcanoes or something, and at the same time changing the ocean currents, leading to a series of situations that made the climate as weird as it is now.
…… However, the climate alone is not a problem for these creatures, mainly because they are filled with harmful dust.
Yes, it was supposed to be the explosion that produced the dust, and then added to it the climate of the month, and this dust quickly spread all over the surface of the moon, and even everywhere in the sea.
The dust is not the same as the dust that ejects from the Isle of Ashes, and although there are some similarities in it, the dust in the air is generally much more toxic.
But Lynn didn't fully study the dust that erupted from each of the ash islands, and there may have been some islands that spewed out pure harmful substances.
Because of this dust, many creatures became extinct before they had time to adapt......
This bone eel seems to be resistant to this dust, but it is a large creature that will become extinct without prey.
But how long exactly does it hibernate? When did these explosions occur?
Leviathan uses its tentacles to detect the seabed beneath the dust on the seabed, and this problem seems to be not easy to detect, mainly because the rock structure is not quite the same as on the pom-pom, and it will take a while to understand it all......
However, Lynn's calculations probably didn't take long, maybe only a few hundred years.
According to the cells of this bone eel, it can only sleep for that long, and some organisms have a short hibernation period because their bodies continue to consume energy during hibernation.
Some organisms are very long, and they can keep cells in a near-dead state that can sleep for hundreds or thousands of years or more.
Usually this behavior is only possible for some micro-species, and sometimes for some large creatures, but on top of the pom-pom, Lin has only found a few examples, such as the Creator of Zào and Monte III, who is still asleep......
And this bone eel also has some wonderful abilities because of its special body structure.
But it's not completely non-depleting, it may wake up quite hungry, the bones it saw before are the same kind it attacked, and there must be sleeping bone eels around, it is clearly a solitary species, and will hunt its own kind when food is scarce.
And those fossils on the ocean floor...... Lynn now believes that they are not real fossils, but that the creatures have somehow sealed themselves in rocks and other places, so they all gather on the surface of the seabed.
But they may all have died from inhaling toxic substances, leaving only a few creatures that are not afraid of poison, or who would otherwise live underground and have been less affected......
Underground organisms may also be exposed to toxic substances, but the amount of exposure is not large, and as long as they can be excreted in time, there is basically no major problem.
However, Lin thinks that the fungus should not be affected by this poison and disappear completely, and there must be some other reason, but in any case, it is inseparable from the explosion.
As for the cause of the explosion...... It could be related to meteorites, but it could also be related to something else.
This reminded Lin of the creator......
If the previous environment of this place was very good, there may have been many 'creators' on the moon, and Lin remembers very well the explosion that shattered the entire Emerald Dragon City.
But the question is, do the creators here release that kind of explosion?
As far as Lin sees the only zào creator now, it obviously doesn't explode like that, maybe the zào creator on the pom-pom is the way of explosion that she has developed.
In short, all species have adopted some ways to survive in times of great change, but only a few have succeeded, so now that we know the reason, what should we do?
Thinking of this, the bone eel that Leviathan had grabbed woke up, and it immediately began to struggle, and Leviathan let go of it, and it immediately fled into the distance.
Lin had already placed a 'stalker' on its body just now, and might be able to find other bone eels through it, so that she could better determine how many bone eels were left here.
However, Lynn's main concern now is ...... What to do? Try to improve the weather of the month?
If you want to improve it, you have to collect all the dust and clean it up, which seems to be quite troublesome, but if you leave it alone, you don't know when it will recover.
It's like a pom-pom ball frozen in ice......
Why is this catastrophic phenomenon everywhere? Is it so hard to see a biologically rich environment now?
If you create everything by yourself, then there is no point in exploring.
So, Lynn wanted to keep trying to explore and find the ...... here All possibilities. (To be continued......)
