Vol 2 Chapter 35: Crystallized land

The joy of victory...
Looking at the ice crystals that sink into the darkness, Lin's thoughts are full of this wonderful feeling.
Lin now finally knows that only by defeating such a strong opponent will this feeling.
In this battle, Leviathan's loss is great. All biting tentacles are killed by ultraviolet rays, and even themselves are greatly hurt. Only in this case can you feel happy and happy.
Although I am happy, Lin hopes that this battle will not be in vain. I hope that it will bring interesting things from the long, living, crystal-like monster.
Leviathan took off the dead tentacles and released the collectors to eat them, and the nutrients were not recovered at all. Lin could soon grow new tentacles.
After the recycling, Leviathan swam in the direction of the ice crystal.
Because of this thick ice layer, even in the daytime, the light in the deep water is similar to the night, and Lin must light the lantern to see the surrounding environment.
Have it.
The dark sea floor is a white sandy beach, and the ice crystals lie quietly in a bunker. The crystallized armor on the huge body is still shining, but its life is long gone.
The blasting ball that crawled into the wound probably exploded to the brain, so it died very fast, and Lin looked forward to seeing how it struggled.
Leviathan swims close to the body of the ice crystal monster, releasing a large number of miniature eyeballs for exploration. They drilled into each gap in the body of the ice crystal monster to observe the mystery of this creature.
During this time, Lin slowly reborn Leviathan's tentacles.
The body organs of Ice Crystal are very similar to most of the arthropods, but there are also many special places.
For example, its last two limbs have the ability to absorb water and spray water at the same time. They can move at high speed and exert collisions. In addition, Lin did not find its flaws. How does this creature absorb oxygen?
The most important thing is its brain. The brain of Ice Crystal is the biggest brain that Lynn has ever seen. Even proportionally, it is bigger than the brain of any creature. Even flat fish can't match it.
Lin has learned that the main function of the brain of a creature is to direct its own cells. To remove the part that directs its own cells, the remaining part can be used to think about various things for itself. Only this part of 'self-thinking' The bigger the creature, the smarter it will be.
So the ice crystal monster will think of that strange tactic, hit other creatures on the ice.
The shell of the ice crystal monster is also quite strange. Lin found that this is indeed not constructed by any kind of shell material that it knows, but by a substance similar to crystal. The ice crystal cortex has a lot of special, like a small ice crystal. Glandular cells that secrete such substances.
Lin had seen such cells a long time ago...
That's right, this is... crystal bacteria! A long time ago, when she was in the single-cell era, Lynn had a war with them.
Why are they mixed in the body of ice crystal monsters? Or is it that ice crystals are combined? But then they should be the basic cells, not the glandular cells on the cortex...
Lin also found that the ice crystal strange brain is not connected with the crystal bacteria, are they not controlled by the brain? It’s strange.
In addition, the hardness of this crystal shell is connected to the hardest shell material that Lin can currently produce. Although it is still a little bit, it is much lighter, so the ice crystal monster is so flexible.
The ice crystal shell is divided into three layers. The outermost layer is the thickest and transparent, the middle thickness is medium, but it is white. This layer is estimated to be used to block ultraviolet rays, while the innermost layer is very thin, almost the same as above. There are also many cracks and small holes, and the crystal bacteria are basically crowded in these positions.
Its limbs are also formed by such crystal shells, especially the curved structure of the forelimbs is quite sharp, and it is easy to draw a crack on the armor of Leviathan.
It feels like a very good shell, but it has a disadvantage. It has no anti-corrosion coating on it, so Lin's bomb can easily corrode it.
In general, this is a creature that can be active at the same time and is very clever, as well as this strange armor.
Next, start recycling, Lin wants to make a set of crystal armor, but the ice crystal strange body is too big, Lin needs to first increase the size of Leviathan.
Leviathan wants to increase the body shape and must first dissolve the shell from the inside. Lin finds that other creatures take off the whole body shell and then discard the old shell to cover a new layer.
That method feels wasteful and time consuming. Lin's method can retain the shell material. Although it consumes the solution, the shell is harder to make than the solution.
But no matter which method takes a long time, let's take it slowly.
While melting the carapace, Lin let Liviatan slowly grow its body shape, modify some structures in the body, and at the same time grow a tentacle, releasing the steps of the collector eating ice crystal monsters.
It was a slow and meaningless process, but when the collectors were eating the brains of Ice Crystal, Lynn found something interesting.
Most of the ice crystal cells have died, but Lynn found a small tentacles in the back of the brain, and the structure is still not dead, and is still slowly creeping.
At the end of the tentacle-like structure, a small black stone was embedded. Lin began to be curious and didn't think too much, but when the collector pulled it out, he suddenly found that the end of the small stone had a tip end that would always face one. Direction, even if Lin twists it, it will twist back.
Why is this thing like this?
Lin doesn't know it yet, but it will definitely go to the place where it is heading, maybe look for the ice crystal blame.
Need to finish the current thing quickly.
..............................
The daylight slowly passed, the night came, and Leviathan finally completed the deformation. Its appearance did not change much. The biting tentacle was added to the ten, and the body size was 200% larger than before. Now it is almost the same length as the ice crystal monster. However, the width is far more than the ice crystal monster, and the body has been fully decomposed and stored.
Lynn tried to combine the shell of the ice crystal monster, it can also let the cells swallow into the body to dissolve, and then composed, but the general food and common environment are not such substances, you must find more if you want to get it. The organism with these crystal shells, or directly find the origin of such crystals.
Perhaps the crystals that Lin had seen before could also be used to make crystal shells, but Lin didn't even think of it at the time.
So, let’s go and see...what is the location of the small stone pointing to it?
Leviathan released some eyeballs and lanterns, and then swam toward the target.
That is……
There was a shimmering glow in front of Leviathan.
crystallization?
In the dark waters, only these things can respond to the light of the lantern, but this is also...
... too much, right?
Lin let the lanterns spread, and the light of them is all covered with dense crystal fragments. Occasionally, one or two large crystals appear in it. These crystals are very similar to the ice crystal shell. It seems that this is indeed the nest of ice crystal strange.
There are quite a few single-celled organisms on the crystals, all of which are all crystals.
There is no other food here. Are the crystal bacteria eating crystallization?
It’s strange...
In any case, you must put down a kind of base here, and collect the crystals here to produce this kind of shiny and powerful force.
At this time, Lin also noticed that the direction of the small stones in the ice crystal strange brain did not seem to arrive, it refers to the farther direction...
