Chapter 285 Lost
'Boom! ' There was another bang, and the nearly two-meter-long crystal cones on the tortoise's back shot out at Leviathan. This time, Leviathan used the emergency jet to dodge the attack in an instant and did not hit. The crystal cone in , inserted directly into the very center of a tree behind Leviathan.
The tree was almost pierced, but nothing happened. Could it be that the branches screamed?
When Lin was thinking, the cone tortoise was also moving at this time, it was slowly turning its body, because only two cones on its carapace could be fired forward, if you want to shoot other cones, you must turn around.
But when it turned around, its huge body touched the tree that it had bitten. The not-so-sturdy trunk was pressed to one side by the huge force of the tortoise, and its roots were broken one by one. Come, and then the whole tree fell to the ground with a bang, and the crystalline bark of its whole body was smashed together with the branches.
"what--!!!"
At this moment, a screeching sound resounded through the entire crystalline woodland in an instant! This kind of sound is extremely sharp, and it can cause great stimulation to Leviathan's auditory tentacles. The tortoise seems to be unable to bear this sound. It stops turning and roars at the fallen tree.
The screaming tree and the tortoise seemed to be roaring at each other. The tortoise tried to push through the tree with his own voice, but the screaming became louder and louder. It seemed that the tortoise was finally defeated because it could not stand the stimulation of the eardrum. Next, it shook its head and fled here 'quickly'.
Leviathan fires a small sticky bullet at the tortoise as a marker, and floats to the fallen tree.
This sound is really quite a 'thorn', it has caused a lot of damage to the Leviathan's auditory tentacles, and after lasting for a few hundred seconds, it finally stopped, the sound does not seem to come from the tree of. Instead...underground.
Where the tree broke, Lin found some silk threads, which were connected all the way to the trunk, and then extended to those branches...
Lin felt that the branches were some kind of trigger structure that screamed whenever they were touched.
Leviathan stretches out his tentacles. Digging on the root system of the tree, Lin found that the root system of the tree was not completely covered by crystals, and it seemed to be very long, but the structure was relatively fragile, so the tortoise could easily break the tree just now.
After digging for a while, Lin dug out a strangely shaped...thing. All the silk threads are connected to this thing, it is like an ammonite shell, the outer layer is covered with crystals, Leviathan stretched his tentacles into the shell to explore, and Lin also saw that there seemed to be some flowing liquid inside the shell, Then some micro-arms were injected into it.
After a period of research. Lin found... this thing,
is an organ.
Its main function is... to make sounds, the scream just now is what it makes, there is a kind of vocal sac-like structure inside, which can continuously vibrate to make sounds, as if the very 'cold' feeling has nothing to do with it look.
Why does this tree have this structure? For defense? It doesn't seem like it, when it was bitten by the tortoise before, it made a very small sound. It only makes a loud noise when it is pushed down, which is useless. This thing is at the root under the trunk, so Lin didn't find this strange structure before...
Regardless of its use, the main thing is that Lin also found that the biggest feature of this thing is that it can 'record' sound. After it receives a sound, it will be replayed exactly the same as the original, and it may be retained for a long time. Multiple voices...
Those threads before were indeed receptors, if the threads were stimulated. It will be immediately transmitted to this organ, and it will emit these sounds, because the receptors are only at the end of the silk thread, so the sound will only be produced when the branch is injured. plant. If so, maybe...
Leviathan gently shocks the organ with electric tentacles that mimic the signal of a silk thread.
"Ah-!!!" The scream from before suddenly rang out. Lin didn't even know what the creature was called, but it should be able to be replaced by another voice.
Lin called again a few times, and sure enough, the tree made other noises...
"Gah!" "Wow!" "Woo!" "Oh oh oh!" Various voices came from this organ, including the roar of the cone tortoise before, and some others. Lin has heard the sounds of creatures, but most of them don't recognize them. This organ has the ability to distinguish sounds. It only records the sounds of creatures, not footsteps or wind.
Among the cries of these creatures, Lin heard one: "Help...".
This is the vocabulary of the head bug. Lin once taught Su Sumi. Sure enough, Su Sumi came here, and it was still calling for help at the time?
It's a pity that I don't know how long ago this sound was. Leviathan called it a few times and found that there were about a dozen sounds of this thing, and only one of them was Su Sumi's voice.
Maybe other trees also recorded the sound? Thinking about it, Leviathan put down this organ and flew to other nearby trees, listening to their voices without knocking them down, just sticking his tentacles into the mud, drilling into the roots of the tree, finding this organ and giving it an electric shock.
The tree also found Susumi's voice, which, like the previous one, was "Help."
Then Lin continued to try a lot of trees. When she was far away, Lin heard different Susumi voices, such as: "hungry, food", "cold..." "Lin..." "lost..." "Water..." and so on.
The farther the distance is, the weaker Susumi's voice appears, but it seems that it has not been attacked, and the sound recorded by the tree in the depths is getting less and less, and finally only Susumi's voice is left. .
Leviathan traced a distance of one kilometer in the crystalline forest, and felt that Susumi was moving very slowly. Lin speculated that it was spinning in the same place for almost many days and nights. Lin once taught it, in this case, Should have stopped and waited for rescue, it didn't seem to do so, it ran around, but instead of walking back out of the jungle, it went deeper and deeper.
Susumi seemed to be getting weaker and weaker in the end. From the recorded voice, she could feel that death was approaching her. There was no water or food here. How long would the emerald dragon live?
The Leviathan has walked almost two kilometers, and the sound from the trees has almost disappeared, maybe it is finally...
"Lin..."
Suddenly, Lin heard a subtle voice.
This sound did not come from the tree, but came from nearby! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read it.)
