Vol 3 Chapter 56: Volcano

After the fog has dissipated, this is the scene that Lin first saw. It is like a huge rock, and the height may be more than a kilometer. Leviathan's vision is completely occupied by this huge object.
In Lin's thoughts, there is a word that can describe this object.
'mountain peak'.
In the sea, Lin also saw the mountains, but the mountain peaks on the land exceeded all the peaks that Lin had seen in the sea. Lin did not think that there was such a scene on the land.
The mountain is quite spectacular, but it seems to be out of place with life.
The whole of the mountain is grayish black. Lin thinks that it is a rock-like structure. There is no plant on it, and Lin is most concerned about the mountains.
The entire circle around the mountain presents blacks that have been grilled by flames, just as Leviathan is now, filled with white, poisonous fog and darkened plants.
Lynn and a handful of creatures are able to filter out these poisonous gases, but obviously most creatures can't, so the mountains are ridiculous.
Perhaps the mountain is not the culprit in destroying the brain worm population, and the surrounding jungle is also destroyed by it.
Lin intends to fly to the mountain to see, but before that, Lin wants to catch a small limb that swims in the hot black water. Lin intends to call this kind of arthropod as 'ash worm', which is quite fun.
Gray locusts are super fast, but it is not difficult for Leviathan to catch them. They only need a simple method - traps, to capture them.
It is to dig a hole and then drive them to the hole. This trick is also learned when Lin observes the brainworm hunting. Brain worms are better at observing the surrounding environment. Rather than relying almost exclusively on the ability of the arms like Lin.
Grab a gray locust. Lin quickly broke it down.
The cells of the gray locust seem to be quite special. Although they are small in size, they have a very complex set of organs. This set of functions allows it to maintain the body temperature, and is equipped with a certain thickness of heat-resistant shell, which can live in boiling water.
This is really interesting and worth learning.
Although Lin can make heat-resistant armor, she can't stay in the heat for too long. Otherwise the internal cells will be cooked, and the gray mites seem to ignore the problem. They can transform some mechanism in the body, making the cells heat-resistant, and when they leave the boiling water, it will adjust the mechanism back. This prevents cells from dying due to sudden changes in temperature.
This mechanism is somewhat similar to the circulation system in which some fish convert between seawater and freshwater. However, the gray locusts are quite complex, and there are many cells that have not been seen inside, which may take a long time to learn.
But if you can learn completely. Lin may be able to create a unit that advances in the fire, as long as the powerful outer shell resists the damage of the flame. In fact, the internal temperature is not very high, only need to be adjusted......
If Lin had this ability, then there is no need to escape from the sea.
But no matter what, it must be constantly discovering new things, and evolution will not stop.
So now, go to the mountains and have a look.
Leviathan opened his wings and flew in the direction of the towering peaks. Lin may be able to find out why the brain worms were destroyed.
When Leviathan approached the high mountains, Lin found that the hillside was covered with black stones, some of which were large and long, much like some of what Ling had seen in the sea... solidified lava.
On the ground, will it also emit lava?
Leviathan continued to fly to the top of the mountain. Lin found a few plants and some arthropods during the flight, but they were rare and could not form a spectacular environment.
When I saw the environment here, Lynn couldn't help but create an idea. Maybe I could try to change the look of the whole environment? Create an ecology?
Lynn has been trying to do this all the time. The ecological environment in the salt lake has been shaped with success. Lin’s 'Lord' succeeded in creating some umbrella-shaped green blankets in the salt lake. These green blankets will filter the toxins in the brine. It turned into clear water, which successfully attracted a lot of creatures. If Lin filtered the water of the entire salt lake, the salt lake should soon be covered by the forest.
Creating an environment is a great thing. It is more useful than raising light for a few creatures to eat, or just to lay a green carpet.
At this time, Leviathan is close to the top of the mountain. When flying to the top of the mountain, Lin found that the environment on the top of the mountain is completely different from the slopes and foothills. It is actually a large lake with a diameter of about 500 meters, and the lake looks quite clear. Look like.
Leviathan landed on the lake and picked up some water. Lin felt that the water was as clear as ordinary water, with no toxins and a large number of single-celled organisms.
At the lakeside, Leviathan looked around and Lin suddenly found some large figures swimming in the water. Leviathan immediately dive into the water and observe the appearance of these creatures.
Is it? Some black dragonflies are active in the water. In addition, Lin also saw some worms and even creatures like fish.
How did they come here? It’s quite far from the sea!
It seems to be different from Yamashita. There is a very rich environment. But when I look at these creatures, Lin can't understand them. The worms are fine. I can't say it anymore. I can't leave the water for too long, otherwise they are The skin will dry and die, how did they climb to the top of the mountain? There are fish that are even more incredible.
Did they evolve from the single cells that floated to the top of the mountain? This is even more impossible.
But no matter what, this is a rich environment, but the mountain is so ridiculous, it is really weird.
Leviathan folded his wings and dive underwater. As he went deeper, the water became more turbid and the creatures inside were quite rich. Lin was surprised to find a lot of fish here, including some that he had never seen before. The species, like the weird fish with a bunch of tentacles on the mouth, and some like leaves, these creatures are various and varied, and Lin believes that they are unlikely to evolve so much in such a small place. Kinds, there should be other creatures bringing them here.
When dive to a depth of about 100 meters, Leviathan’s vision has been surrounded by turbid water. The water here is mixed with a lot of impurities, but these are not toxic substances. When diving to two hundred meters, Leviathan I have already reached the bottom of the lake.
It feels quite deep.
The bottom of the lake was full of impurities. Lin released the collectors to study these impurities. Lin found that most of the ingredients were composed of biological corpses, and there were a lot of single-celled organisms on them. They kept decomposing these impurities, but because of the bottom of the lake. The oxygen content is very low, so they move quite slowly.
This strange environment, Lin also showed to the brainworm through the display, the brainworm said that this environment has not been seen before, but their ethnic group did live in the vicinity of this mountain for a long time.
"The flame is like a stream of water, spewing, dying, and escaping." The brain worm has a vague description of the disaster, but Lin probably speculated that the mountain may have broken out of lava and destroyed the environment below, but why there is a lake on the top of the mountain, and Are there so rich creatures?
If it is a lake that appears after the outbreak, it should not be so rich in a short time. After all, the woodland below is still ridiculous. There is no sign of recovery. Although there are poisonous things below, the actual range is not very large, if the lake Creatures have evolved over the long term, so why are they not affected by lava outbursts?
It’s amazing, it’s hard to understand.
Lin continued to explore at the bottom of the lake. Leviathan opened the lantern. In the light of the front, Lin suddenly saw a familiar figure swaying through the water.
That figure seems to have been seen in the sea...
Leviathan slammed the jets and rushed over. He approached the creature in an instant and grabbed it with his tentacle...
This is... shark? Is there a shark here?
This is a small benthic shark with a body length of just over one meter. Lin has seen it in the sea. Unlike the common large sharks, they only love to look for shellfish and slow-growing trilobites on the sea floor. But why is it in this place? Flying in from the sea?
Lin tore the shark into two halves with the tentacles and let the collector swallow its flesh and break it down.
The shark's internal structure is nothing special. Lin thought it had something special to move on land, but it was actually the same as the shark in the sea.
This makes Lin more puzzled. Since the shark can't come here by himself, how did it come about? No matter how tsunami it is, it is impossible to throw it on the top of the mountain.
After breaking down the shark, Lin continued to explore, Leviathan released some collectors to help explore, they mainly open a lot of debris at the bottom of the lake, search for the material composition here.
Based on the degree of decay of the debris and the rate of bacterial decomposition here, it is judged when these things appear.
Leviathan continued to move forward. Suddenly, Lynn saw a strange thing appearing in the light of the lantern.
It is like a stone. This stone is very large and round. It is about ten meters wide. It is not strange to see stones in general. But in fact, there is no stone at this lake. I have never seen such a large round stone. It suddenly appears in front of Lin, and there is no similar object around. It feels weird...
When Leviathan approached the stone, Lin suddenly felt a stream of water coming from the top, and Lin immediately let Leviathan accelerate away from the original position. At the same time as Leviathan swam, its original position came. The bang's sound seemed to be hit by something, and there were countless pieces of debris.
this is……
When the debris slowly sinks, Lin sees the figure of a creature from which it appears. This creature seems to be a fish. The body is long and flat, about six meters long, quite large, and it is flashing with countless stars. Glorious. (To be continued.)
