Chapter 395: Jelly Ecology
This is a jelly world, all the qiē is made of jelly, whether it is the roof of the cave, the wall of the cave, or the ground, even the living creatures, are made of jelly.
This is a result of Lynn studying the creatures here......
The starfish-like creature is made of jelly.
To be precise, it's the structure inside, and the outer shell resembles a solid layer of ice, which of course isn't ice, and Lynn has seen a similar structure in another creature, the Void Bus.
Its body was completely different from that of the Void Bus, a large amount of jelly-like substance filled its body, but unlike the jelly outside, the jelly in the creature's body also floated with many tiny objects.
These tiny objects float around inside, as if they don't make any movement, and they don't see any visceral-like structures, but they do have something like a living thing transporting similar nutrients......
Beneath the ice-like shell, the creature has joints in its body that allow it to move.
And this creature as a whole is also composed of a substance that has never been seen before, and it seems that like a cold stone, it can only live in cold areas, and if it goes to a place with high temperatures, the 'jelly' in its body will dissolve.
It can only live in icy areas, not knowing what it feeds on...... But if it feeds on the jelly that is everywhere here, then there is an endless amount of food around.
But then it shouldn't be that athletic, it can run so fast, just to chase something, or to avoid something.
In a word. Let's call this creature a jelly starfish.
And this 'jelly starfish'. Doesn't seem to eat on its own. The kind of worms that Lynn found before were the ones responsible for finding food for them.
This worm ...... Much like a symbiotic species of the Void Bus, the appearance is almost identical, but the color is different.
However, they are not multicellular organisms, but are 'jelly creatures' like jelly starfish, and they usually live in the tentacles of jelly starfish, which have vacancies for worms to inhabit them......
A starfish can hold more than a dozen worms, and Lynn discovers that these worms secrete something in the empty space of the tentacles for the starfish to absorb.
But it is not yet known what they eat, although they are all jelly. However, it has a different composition from the jelly outside, and from the appearance of the worm attack captain before, it seems that they may be predators.
But what creatures are there for them to catch?
The pom-pom has now left the cave where the jelly starfish lives and has flown out onto the jelly plains.
In this extremely cold environment, Lynn hadn't seen any other creatures except a starfish here, and Lynn had thought that there were starfish hidden under the jelly piled up, but in fact there was nothing, and there was no hidden cave underneath......
Seemingly. The search needs to be continued, and in the body of this starfish. Lynn discovers another ingredient in teleporters, and Lynn finds it strange, as if teleporters are made from many different things.
Because there is no way to fix it, Lynn hasn't opened the teleporter yet, and it may not be possible that there is a more complex structure inside......
All in all, there needs to be more to explore in this place.
For the rest of the day, the pom-pom stayed here to continue observing the starfish here, while it remained motionless in the cave and seemed to fall into a deep sleep......
The captain didn't seem to be out to explore again because he was scared last time, so Lin needed to go out to search by herself, and Lin sent out other pompoms and floated farther away.
The Jelly Field spreads quite wide in this part of the night, and when Rin flies into the depths, she can even see mountains where jelly has piled up.
These mountains are tens of meters higher than the jelly piles seen before, and it is difficult to understand how they were formed, there should be no other possibility than biological piles.
Lynn had never seen a storm in this world, and there were very few strong currents, so it was unlikely that the jellies would have piled up in other situations.
But most importantly, how did they come to be? There's no way to know this just by testing the ingredients.
In order to get the answer, the pom-pom went deeper and observed the situation here.
After flying hundreds of kilometers, the pom-pom left the jelly plain, which already belonged to the depths of the dark world, with extremely cold temperatures, no light, only cold stone fields, and no living beings.
And the jellies you see on the jelly fields, they have always been the same, there doesn't seem to be a phenomenon like snow that produces this jelly, and they don't seep out of the ground......
The black substance in the sky does not contain jelly in it.
Although she couldn't understand these jellies, Lin felt that she had basically guessed the truth of this world by now, because Lin found that here, even after the large number of occlusions, it was night, and there was no day.
If the captain's gunboat is right, the sun here is only surrounded by a tumbling tree, and this tumbling seems to be turned so special that only one side of it is always facing the sun, and the other side is always in darkness, which creates this extreme environment here.
However, it is so cold here, and it has something to do with the black matter in the sky.
What those strange substances here are formed has not yet borne fruit, but it should have lasted for a long time, which is why the jelly starfish that live there are created.
Or is the creature alien?
Next, it's time to explore the side with the fierce sun.
While Lynn was exploring this place, the captain completely locked himself in the gunboat, and it no longer came out to explore, but kept the base building, although it was very lonely, it did not dare to come out.
This captain is very timid, no wonder Lynn was so quick to escape when she attacked the Drift.
Speaking of which, do the void people have the organ of 'gall'?
Exploring the Scorching Sun area doesn't seem to be as interesting as the cold area, it's too hot, it's almost completely rocky plains, and you don't see any special creatures.
The stone creatures that used to be are no longer seen.
After this...... It's been a long, long time......
Lynn had already circled the tumbling man's quest, and there were no creatures on the surface, at least not in abundance.
While there are still many ways to investigate, Lynn has something else to focus on right now.
Because, three years have come...... (To be continued......)
