Chapter 10 Transfer Station
The worm also seemed to sense the taste of the water. It was moving slowly, and it accelerated a lot in an instant, almost rushing towards the direction of the water.
Lin's flyer arrived at the water source at a much faster speed than the worm. From a high altitude, this is a lake with a diameter of tens of meters. There is a circle of green tentacles around the lake. It must be plants. In the vast desert, the existence of this lake and these plants seems to bring some wonderful feelings.
How did this come about? Why does water gather here? Lin is very concerned about this matter. Could it be that the water will also pass through the hot sandy ground, cross the sandstorm, and float to the center of the desert?
The flyer flew to the lake, and Lin found that there were some small arthropods here. Lin asked the flyer to drink some water. Lin found that the water here had a very clear feeling, and it contained quite few impurities. Made of water floating in the air.
Now, Lin hesitated.
Now that we've found the water, should we kill the worms and let the Leviathan come out? But this water source only occupies a small area, and there may be problems due to various factors.
When Lin was thinking, the worm also approached here, it stretched its huge head out of the sand, and after staring at the water for a while, it rushed into the water.
When the worm rushed into the water, its entire body also emerged from the sand. Lin also saw the worm's body buried in the deep sand, from the head to the tip of the tail. Although this creature was not twenty meters long, But there are also ten meters.
How did it grow so big? This is still a mystery, now that the worms are drinking a lot of water in the lake, Leviathan can feel a lot of water pouring into the worm's esophagus.
At this time, the worm's esophagus began to really move, and a large amount of dissolved liquid suddenly began to secrete on the inner wall. It seemed that it began to digest Leviathan.
It didn't digest when it set off. Is it really because of lack of water? And the worms didn't drink the seawater, maybe because the seawater hasn't recovered, or for some other reason.
The detector that Lin used to detect the seawater had already died, maybe it was eaten, and Lin didn't replenish it after that, so it seemed that there was indeed a problem with the seawater.
The amount of these dissolved liquid secreted by the worm is quite large. It seems to directly convert water into a dissolved liquid. It can easily corrode the outer armor of Leviathan and digest the structure composed of chitin into a pile of powder.
But it will take some time to corrode the inner layer. All the holes on the Leviathan shell are capable of opening and closing. When it is completely closed, not even a virus can enter, so Lin doesn't have to worry about the infiltration of the solution for the time being. Slightly open the pores, inhale a small amount of dissolved liquid into the body, and then decompose the components to see which kind of dissolved liquid it belongs to.
It's a very strong acid...
The composition of the dissolving liquid is also very different according to what different organisms secrete, but Lin did not give them any classification names, and they are all called the dissolving liquid.
Different dissolving liquids have very different properties. Sometimes even the dissolving liquid that can easily corrode thick armor can be blocked by a layer of cells. As for the dissolving liquid of this worm, Lin has already thought of a way.
Lin once combined the shell material of the anti-Aztec solution. The composition of the solution for worms is very similar to that of Aztecs, but some special substances are mixed in it, which can speed up the dissolution rate. protection is not difficult.
However, Lin also wanted to know how the worm's esophagus resisted the solution it secreted.
This may be the key to killing this worm. Since it has begun to digest Leviathan, Lynn does not intend to stay in it.
The worm's solution eroded the outer carapace of the Leviathan, while Lin secreted a transparent anti-corrosion layer at the innermost layer, and at the same time created a small unit covered with the same anti-corrosion carapace, and removed it from the stomata. In the worm's esophagus filled with solution, changes in the esophageal wall were observed.
So it is...
The wall of the worm's esophagus is covered with a layer of white mucus, which apparently the worm relies on to prevent itself from being corroded.
Lin scraped some mucus on the wall of the esophagus, and then returned to the Leviathan to analyze the composition of the mucus.
At this time, the flyers outside were flying around the lake, and Lin could see that the huge body of the worm was floating on the water, motionless, as if it were dead, but in fact, its body was undergoing intense exercise. In order to digest Leviathan, It kept secreting a huge amount of dissolved liquid, as if it was going to crush Leviathan directly with these liquids.
However, Lin has now analyzed the mucus components on the worm's esophagus wall, which are mainly made of a special cell structure, and Lin knows that there is a special way to peel them from the esophagus wall.
Thinking about it, Lynn began to create a large amount of a special solution, which is specifically aimed at the worm's esophagus wall cells, which can break down the connections between the cells.
However, just as Lin was about to release the solution, the worm's body suddenly vibrated, and the flyer outside saw that the worm, which had been motionless on the water, suddenly twisted its body and dived into the water.
What's wrong with it?
When Lin was wondering, she suddenly saw a creature approaching the lake. This creature, Lin had seen before...
The desert scorpion, a scorpion about the size of a Leviathan, actually appeared by the lake in this desert. Obviously, it came for water.
Many creatures are accustomed to using liquids to expel waste from their bodies, so they are prone to dehydration, even if they have an impervious carapace.
The flyer could see the worm's blurry giant shadow in the lake slowly approaching the scorpion drinking by the lake, apparently wanting to hunt.
Then wait a while, Lynn tells Leviathan to stop releasing the liquid, and it won't be too late for the worm to eat the scorpion.
The scorpion didn't notice the worms in the lake at all, and the hunting method of the worms was quite clever. They approached slowly, tightened their bodies, and then rushed out of the water!
The scorpion barely reacted, and was bitten by the worm, followed by the sound of the carapace being crushed, and the scorpion was bitten into pieces and swallowed in a very short time.
Lin couldn't help but feel a little scared when she saw this. If she didn't count the time when she rushed into the worm's mouth, she would have been bitten into pieces like this...
After the worm devoured the scorpion, it retracted back into the water and continued to float on the surface to make a corpse-like appearance.
With the peristalsis of the esophagus, Lin's eyeballs with anti-corrosion carapace can see that many pieces of scorpion have been squeezed to the same position as Leviathan, soaked in acid and slowly digested...
So now, let's get started...
Thinking, Lin began to let Leviathan release a special solution. These fluids are not affected by stomach acid. mucus, causing cells to be disconnected.
The wall of the esophagus lost the protection of this layer of cells and showed signs of corrosion in the case of direct contact with the acid.
'Cuckoo...'
The worm floating on the water felt the problem in the body and made a strange sound.
Leviathan continued to release a large amount of solution, and there were now large rotting wounds in the worm's body, which were still expanding.
The worm twisted its body, rushed out of the lake, climbed onto the sand and kept shaking its head, Leviathan also felt the inner wall of the esophagus twist violently, and squeezed everything inside out!
The flyer saw the worm open its huge mouth. At the same time, Leviathan also felt a strong current of water. With this current, the worm spit everything in the body on the beach. Leviathan, scorpion shards, and a lot of acid.
Can you spit it out at such a deep position?
Leviathan stood up, and the light of the day burned the cells in the body directly through its corroded carapace. The inner shell of Leviathan could only prevent corrosion, but could not resist the heat of light.
The worm stood a third of its body, and its bright red eyes stared straight at Leviathan, as if it knew that Lin had caused the problem, but after a short while, the worm's head turned to the side. Distorted, the whole body also fell to the sand with a bang.
