Chapter 150 Creatures of the New Era

For five days and nights, the sea had flooded almost to the border of the underworld, where the Wall of Death Spikes was.

Of course, there are no more death spikes there now. They were all pulled up by Lin. Lin found that they could regenerate as long as they had a small section, so she cut them into small sections and took them out.

Now, only the rock is submerged.

Because the whole terrain is gradually getting higher, the sea needs to keep rising to continue to flood, especially the place where the wall of death spikes, the terrain is particularly high, it may take a long time to flood up.

In those areas that have been completely covered and submerged by seawater, the water level is already tens of meters high. These influx of seawater can be said to have almost turned the underground world into an ocean.

But it's a rather weird ocean...

At the moment when the sea water rushed in, the light-emitting creatures on the top of the cave stopped glowing. Although there are some holes in the underground world that are directly connected to the ground, it is still dark as a whole. After they stop glowing, the whole area is in eternal darkness. among.

In the dark 'ocean' of the underground world, there are floating plant debris, stones, wood chips from home trees and a large number of biological corpses. In the original territory of the Inca swarm, there are also sharks, helmeted fish and so on. Fish creatures that swim in what was once a jungle world, eat drowned creatures when they get tired, and live a very comfortable life.

The sea also brought some ancient squid. These creatures are more cautious, but they also have the spirit of exploration. They like to stick together. Lin found that they also gather some luminous fungi, and then secrete a mucous membrane to wrap them. , made into a small lantern. Explore slowly in dark environments.

The ancient squid's way of activity is peculiar. Lin couldn't help but observe for a while. They let the person with the lantern swim in the middle, and then surrounded by a circle of guards with sharp branches, and a few ancient squid each held a round stone, I don't know what it was used for.

Lin used her voice to understand their whereabouts. The direction they swam was... the water surface, and there was a behemoth floating there just in the direction of the water surface.

The collapsed home tree can float in water because the interior is hollow, and the wooden structure is also filled with hollows due to fungal infection. It became a gathering place for creatures that had not yet drowned, carnivorous or herbivorous, all congregating and shaking their bodies.

This is a special ability. It generates a lot of heat through constant movement, but it consumes a lot of energy. It is generally used only when it has to, which means that these creatures may not live long.

There are also some creatures that are not afraid of water and cold,

They might survive. For example, a creature called the spar lizard, they are one level more evolved than their counterparts. General reptiles cannot generate body temperature, but they have evolved the ability to generate heat, and they have a stable body temperature.

Spars also have a different way of laying their eggs, instead of laying their eggs, they let them hatch directly inside the body, which protects the eggs from predators until they hatch, and most reptiles do not produce offspring after they are born. Will ignore it and just prepare the nest for them to be born, but the spars will take care of the offspring and feed the offspring to grow.

Now, on the edge of the home tree floating on the water, there is a group of spar lizard cubs with a length of only ten centimeters. They keep calling out beside the one-meter-long female, indicating that they are very hungry.

Hearing their call, the spar lizards had to jump into the water to look for food. The water was full of wreckage of living creatures, and food was easy to get. Spar lizards are also very good swimmers, so probably nothing question.

The female spar lizard swam to a cockroach corpse floating more than ten meters away. Now Lin found that most of the cockroaches began to secrete some very viscous smelling liquid to make the creature feel 'disgusting'. This 'disgusting' feeling is at its best, but it was the closest food, so the spars didn't want to swim too far.

But when it swam halfway, suddenly a sharp piece of wood flew out of the water and stuck between the scales on the right neck of the Spar lizard, and a few drops of blood splattered along with it.

"Hi!" The Spa Lizard immediately turned and rushed towards the direction where the spikes flew from the right. This lizard also has a certain intelligence. Many creatures will shoot spikes and the like to attack, so the Spa Lizard can attack from the spikes. The size determines the size of the attacker, so as to know whether it can defeat the opponent.

This time, though, it faced a creature it had never seen before...

Spar lizard rushed into the water, in the dark water, it only saw a little light in the distance, it rushed towards the light without thinking, but at the moment when it decided to charge, suddenly on both sides of its body. Several ancient squid appeared, and they grabbed the sharp pieces of wood and stabbed into the gaps between the scales on both sides of its body. Some of these pieces of wood did not stab in the position, but some of them pierced into the flesh and blood of the Spala lizard...

The sudden pain made Spar Liz understand that there was more than one opponent, so he turned and fled. When it rushed out of the water, a wooden thorn suddenly flew out from the front and plunged directly into its eyes.

The spar lizard suddenly let out a painful roar. At this time, a large number of wooden thorns shot out from the surrounding water surface again. These wooden thorns caused a lot of wounds on its body, and also pierced the other eye. Finally, an ancient squid The spikes pierced the neck scales of the spars, bringing the creature to an end.

Cubs of spars still cry from the home tree, but the food and protector they expect will never return.

On the other side, the ancient squids surrounded the body of the Spar lizard. They kept changing bright colors, full of excitement, holding up the wood chips in their tentacles, as if they were cheering for victory...

These creatures are really peculiar. This was Lin's first thought after observing the battle. At first, Lin thought that the ancient squid were just small creatures digging up dead bodies in the lower layers of the seabed, but when they got here, they unexpectedly placed a large pile of submerged corpses. The dead corpses are ignored, and the live ones are eaten.

The ancient squids swim by the water holes on their bodies, and they will also stuff the wood thorns into their water nozzles and spray them out to achieve long-range attacks. Sure enough, their intelligence is very unusual. In fact, in terms of individuals, their The proportion of brain is 0.17% higher than that of a single unit of the Inca Swarm.

However, excluding shadow monsters, the brain of shadow monsters is larger than that of general troops.

But the ancient squids are not like the Inca swarm that can connect the brain's thoughts and achieve the unity of the whole group. Now two ancient squids are fighting for the eyes, and then a third ancient squid appears and opens fiercely. These two ancient squid, and then it eats its own eyes.

It can be seen that the third is the role of 'leader'. Although they are highly intelligent, they will argue with each other among the ethnic groups. The general leader can enjoy the priority of eating, but it cannot always be in this position.

A fourth ancient squid came over, and it directly fought with the leader, but after a hard fight, it still lost to the leader.

The leader finally retained its priority of eating, but like this, it may be beaten by someone stronger than it at any time, but they will not use any wood thorns to fight, but directly strangle each other with tentacles or Hit the other side, and the weaker side will quickly concede defeat by spraying water to avoid taking more damage.

However, Lin has observed some ancient squid in the sea. If there is less food, they will not grab it like this, but will unite and quickly eat everything they can eat.

It's really interesting to observe these creatures, the ancient squid will also use some sharp wood chips to try to cut the scales of the lizards, and they are very good at using these gadgets.

But they couldn't occupy the corpse for too long. At this time, another creature jumped down from the home tree. It was three meters long, was wearing strong armor, and loved meat. Its name was 'giant horseshoe crab'. When the giant king crab came , the ancient squid can only escape into the deep water.

Lin believes that these creatures may evolve into a very special race in the future. Their adventurous thoughts make their intelligence increase faster, but it also makes them closer to danger. It is difficult to say whether they can survive in the future, but At least an evolutionary... prototype.

The underground world submerged by the floods can still maintain a state of non-collapse because they are almost completely dependent on one kind of creature...

The sea has destroyed a lot of life, but created a new environment, and the only plants still standing in the water are... home trees.

There are still some homes that have not been infected. Their sturdy bodies are still intact even under the impact of sea water. They are like giant pillars standing in the sea, supporting the sky and the earth in this world.

Of course, there is also the relationship between the rock formations. Because the rock formations at the top of the caves have a lot of Ning stone components, they are also keeping the entire rock formations from collapsing immediately.

But this is only temporary. There are many cracks on the top of the cave. Under the tearing of the two forces up and down, the whole cave will collapse sooner or later, and the sea water will be squeezed by the collapsed rock formations. On land, it affects the jungle.

If it doesn't collapse... maybe there will be no problem, and if the cracks in the top of the cave are glued with spider silk, the collapse may be stopped.

But that's unlikely, the whole area is too big, and there's not enough time.

So Lin still decided to do nothing and watched all this slowly develop. Of course, some special species had to be removed. Now Lin's only problem is the lava spider in the rocky rift.

These spiders are so big that even if Lin stuns them with a paralyzing toxin, it is difficult to drag them up, so Lin used a new method to pull them directly out of the crack in the roof of the cave.

After Lin almost finished dealing with these things, the sea water was almost higher than the 'border', rushing to the last area of ​​the underground world... (To be continued...)
