Chapter 2 Darkness in the New World

Darkness has enveloped the world. Lin has experienced darkness countless times, but this time, the feeling is completely different.

During the day, it was very calm here, but as soon as night entered, there were many strange vibrations around.

These vibrations were tiny, but they were so numerous that Lin discovered a better new word to describe these smaller vibrations, 'sound'.

Wonderful word, it seems that the vibration that causes the sound is very small, regardless of whether the frequency is fast or slow. The tentacles behind the Leviathan contain different sensory cells, which can receive vibrations of various frequencies at the same time. It is a vibration with a high frequency but a relatively small amplitude.

This is also the 'sound', which should only be achieved by living things.

These are small creatures about a few centimeters in size, and there may be some reason why they make so many noises on purpose.

Lin didn't light up the lantern in the dark, which might attract something unfriendly.

Lin adopted an unmoving plan. Leviathan and the transporter leaned against a pointed pillar and quietly waited for the darkness to pass. The temperature at night was very low, and the cold wind had swept away all the moisture outside their carapaces. , but their carapace is thick enough not to leak a drop of water.

100 million years ago, Lin knew how to make a water-tight carapace, but it was still not familiar with the various characteristics of the land.

The current starry sky is not as bright as it used to be, and with the occlusion of the pointed pillars, only some small light spots can touch the ground, and in the shadows that cannot be illuminated by the light, some small sounds are made from time to time.

I don't know what kind of creature is hiding here.

These sounds are loud and quiet, far and near, these creatures may be running around, Lin stared at the light spots in the darkness, trying to see their running figures from the light of the stars.

By changing the structure of the eye, Lin created a new type of eyeball, called the 'catching eye', which can observe extremely fast movements.

Swish!

A black shadow flashed under the shredded starlight in an instant. Although it was extremely fast, the eyeball still caught its appearance.

It seemed to be a small arthropod, with a flat body of about ten centimeters and six slender legs, but because of the lack of light, Lin couldn't see clearly.

These creatures were running around Lin, and they kept making small sounds. They seemed to be communicating with each other, and the frequency was getting higher and higher, and they seemed to gather around here in large numbers.

Lin didn't move, it didn't know what these creatures wanted to do, but according to their size, they shouldn't be able to do anything...

But being surrounded by a lot of strange creatures in this dark environment, Lin felt very bad.

'Gah...'

A strange voice suddenly sounded from Leviathan, and Lin was startled, and immediately stretched out her tentacles with a lantern to shoot at Leviathan, only to see that the small arthropods she had just seen were actually crawling on Leviathan's back. Biting the Leviathan's carapace with a pair of curved-blade jaws.

After being photographed, the arthropod turned and jumped off the Leviathan, escaping quickly.

There was not even a trace where the Leviathan's carapace was bitten. Lin was very surprised. Why would such a small creature dare to go forward alone and attack a creature so much larger than it?

Lin's question was not answered, and there were still the 'quack' noises from the arthropods. They didn't gang up to attack them, but just wandered in the darkness around them. Lin swept them with the light of the lantern, but couldn't see them. figure.

Do they seem to be deliberately avoiding the light?

Lin had a bad premonition, she took back the tentacles of the lantern and planned to check the situation again.

At the moment when the light of the lantern disappeared, Lin suddenly felt countless sounds. It was the sound of their feet touching the ground. It was originally a small sound that was extremely difficult to feel, but because there were too many, it became incomparably clear.

Countless small arthropods rushed up,

Even if Lin didn't have to look, it was clear that they had all climbed onto the Leviathan and the transporter, scraping the carapace with fangs like curved blades.

Although Lin's carapace is lighter than when it is in the sea in order to adapt to the land, it is not thin, and the fragile parts, such as tentacles, can be retracted into the shell, and the openings and spouts can also be closed. , neither the Leviathan nor the transporter will take any damage, but their teeth may collapse first.

The little arthropods seemed to be starting to understand, but they were still crawling around on the Leviathan and the transporter, and suddenly they touched some holes in the Leviathan that weren't closed.

It's a small hole used to absorb oxygen, and the diameter is so small that even these small arthropods can't get into it.

To Lin's surprise, a burst of pain suddenly came from the stomata. This was the feeling that the cells on the inner wall were corroded.

Do they still use lysate? Lin squeezed the muscle cells on the inner wall of the stomata, and violently sprayed out a stronger solution, which was splashed on the arthropods surrounding the stomata.

"Gah..." They were hurt and made a strange noise, but they still didn't back away from Leviathan.

It's really troublesome.

Lin stretched out the tentacles of the lantern again. The moment they stretched out, they were all surrounded by tentacles, but at the moment when the light of the lantern shone, these little arthropods seemed to be in great pain, and they all escaped while making strange noises. .

Lin used the same method to drive away the arthropods on the transporter, but although they escaped, they still lingered around and refused to disperse.

It seems to have to get out of here, I don't know what else these creatures will do.

Leviathan took the transporter and ran quickly among the pinnacles in the dark night. Those arthropods followed closely behind. They kept making strange noises, but they seemed to be afraid of Leviathan's lanterns. Dare to catch up.

In this forest of needles, she didn't know which way to go, Lin just wanted to try and see if she could get rid of those arthropods.

Countless needles kept retreating back, and after running for a while, Lincai felt that the voice behind her became quieter.

Did you give up?

Lin turned the lantern to the back and saw nothing except the sand and mud on the ground. When Lin turned the light back to the front again, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground not far from Leviathan.

what is that?

This black figure was huge, and Leviathan took a closer look, only to find that it was something familiar.

a shark.

To be precise, it was the wreckage of a shark. The shark was two meters long. It should have been thrown to this position by the tsunami. The middle part of its body was eaten up, and some internal organs were left on the surrounding mud. The head and tail are completely free of gnawing marks.

Lin wondered what kind of creature had eaten the corpse, but left it before it was done, and there were no other creatures around to eat it.

Shark carcasses have a characteristic carrion smell, which is disgusting to some creatures, but should be seen as a sign of food by most creatures.

Feeling a bad feeling, Lin immediately made Leviathan and the transporter turn around and leave, and they ran quickly again. The moment Lin fled, there was a strong sense of vibration behind her.

Something huge was moving, and it was in Lin's direction.

The speed of Leviathan and the transporter is actually very slow. Because of the excess water in the body and the heavy weight, the speed is far slower than in water. Lin still doesn't know how the structure can run faster on land.

Feeling the huge creatures behind her chasing after her, Lin suddenly realized that the shark corpse was a... trap?

possible……

But this is no longer important. Lin took back the lantern. Although it was not fast, she still tried her best to escape.

And the huge creature that used the shark as a trap just chased after a little, then backed away, not planning to keep chasing.

Lin didn't stop and kept running.

The needle forest at night is full of strange sounds and smells. During the day, it is extremely quiet here, and it is difficult to see a single creature, but at night, it seems to be active.

In the continuous running, the transporter's accessory legs are almost overwhelmed, and the internal muscle cells are too vigorously moved, causing the cells to be torn or directly killed.

Even Leviathan was tired because she was unfamiliar with the gravity of the land, but Lin continued to run until she made sure that she was not too close to any dangerous sound or smell before stopping.

However, there is a smell that has been echoing around Lin for a long time.

It was... the smell of carrion.
