Chapter 5 The Eve of Darkness

The Charger was on the dune watching the Desert Scorpion besieged by dragonflies, waiting for the Leviathan to arrive.

The temperature of the desert is quite hot. Although it is not as deadly as warm water, it also prevents the Leviathan from moving quickly here. Excessive movement will cause hyperthermia. Lin believes that it is necessary to study a structure to reduce the temperature.

By the time Leviathan reached the dunes, the desert scorpion was almost dying, and the dragonflies no longer ducked, but all lay on the scorpion and sucked the wound on the carapace.

Lin found that the dragonflies were just crowding the wounds, and they were unable to create more wounds. It seemed that the scorpions were injured by other creatures, and the dragonflies were just taking advantage of the wounds to attack...

Anyway, it's a good chance, if you can catch those dragonflies...

But when Leviathan took a few steps, the dragonflies had already flown away a few times, and their eyeballs seemed to be able to see quite a wide field of vision, making it difficult to sneak attack.

So Rin used a tactic that had never been used before - changing colors.

Lin knew how to get all kinds of pigments when she synthesized photosynthetic cells, and now it can easily change its own color, but Leviathan's carapace is acellular, so it needs to get a new unit.

'Invisible'.

This disc-shaped, thirty-centimeter-diameter troop has a circle of eyes around its body, which can observe the surrounding environment, change its color to the same as the surrounding at any time, and crawl with its small arthropods.

Leviathan puts the manufactured invisible on the ground, and it instantly turns into the color of the surrounding desert. Every grain of sand is perfectly painted by pigment cells. If the body is covered with this color, it is impossible to tell that it is. a creature.

The invisible eye can see in every direction, and it can also change color at any time to face different environments.

It slowly climbed down the dunes and approached the dragonflies that were eating desert scorpions.

The dragonflies didn't notice the Invisibles. Just as Lin thought, if they often fly high in the air filled with airflow, their sense of smell and hearing are obviously not very good.

The invisible man slowly approached the body of the desert scorpion, only ten meters away from the nearest dragonfly on the scorpion's back.

It keeps getting closer...five meters, three meters...two meters.

Within range!

The center of the invisible man's disc body suddenly opened, and a sharp needle covered with barbs was shot from inside, and the needle stabbed instantly into the slender tail of the dragonfly.

caught!

The dragonfly was startled, and began to struggle violently, and all the dragonflies around were frightened and flew into the sky, but only the stinged dragonfly could not fly.

The needles shot by the invisible are connected to the body by a flexible thread composed of muscle cells, so the dragonfly can only pull this thread and struggle in the air.

Just as Lin thought, the dragonfly is quite light, and an invisible person with only 30 centimeters can grab it and make it unable to fly.

The hooked dragonfly struggled frantically, but it had no effect. Its power was completely unable to pull the invisible man up until it exhausted its strength and fell to the ground weakly.

Leviathan walks down the dune, releasing the Collector to begin decomposing the dragonfly.

That way, you can fly.

During the decomposition process, the collector can also study the various structures of the creature at the same time. Lin is concerned about the transparent structures on both sides of the dragonfly. There is a word for this, which can be called 'wings', like fins, which are used for flapping air to fly.

It turns out that it is almost exactly the same as swimming in the water. You only need to be lighter to fly.

Quite simple, should have thought of it earlier.

Dragonflies don't have a structure like a 'lung'. Like Lin, they rely on small pores to absorb oxygen. It seems that living in the air does not have any problems such as oxygen.

So build one now and try it out.

Lin began to combine various cells in Leviathan,

Lin's cells are now quite diverse, there are hundreds of types, and the number is more than 2 trillion. Most of them were evolved from Leviathan in 100 million years, so it is quite easy for Lin to imitate other creatures now.

Just as the Leviathan was forming, a voice suddenly came from beside it, and the desert scorpion that Lin thought was a 'corpse' suddenly moved.

Still not dead yet? After so many injuries, and being bitten by dragonflies for so long in such a hot desert, this stamina is really strong

The desert scorpion struggled to prop up its body with its arthropods and legs. It turned around and stared at Leviathan and the bunch of collectors under Leviathan who were decomposing dragonflies with the eight eyeballs on its head.

The desert scorpion and the Leviathan are very similar in size. Lin doesn't think it will have any attack now, and Lin herself doesn't want to attack this seriously injured creature. It's impossible to test its strength without fighting the energetic creature. If you want nutrients, Leviathan Tan is now overweight and will have to go back later to convert some of the excess nutrients into a green blanket.

But this desert scorpion is very interesting, it doesn't run or fight, it just looks at the Leviathan.

The collector just disassembled the wings of the dragonfly, and Lin threw the remaining dragonfly body in front of the desert scorpion, then recovered all the troops, turned and walked towards the direction of the Sharp Column Forest.

After returning to the Sharp Pillar Forest, Lin felt that the surroundings had cooled down, as if the row of Sharp Pillars kept out the heat of the desert forever.

In the cool Pinnacle Forest environment, Lin continued to construct flying units, because for the first time, Lin did not build anything too complicated. The flying units it constructed were almost exactly the same as those of dragonflies, but very small. It is only ten centimeters long, and the body structure has only one cardiovascular circulatory system. It is quite light. The structure of the wings is mainly a layer of hardened clear cells, and the roots are controlled by muscle cells. They can swing up and down.

Lin put this little 'flyer' on the ground, and then imitated the dragonfly to flap its four wings at an extremely fast frequency.

...can't fly.

Lin kept flapping her wings, but her body was just swaying and she couldn't rise at all.

Lin then asked Leviathan to grab the flier, throw it into the air and start flapping its wings desperately, but it only spun in the air before hitting the ground.

If it doesn't swing, it can still glide some distance, but it will eventually fall back to the ground.

Maybe the swing is wrong.

Lin recalled how dragonflies flutter their wings, which is really special. They can swing their wings according to a certain pattern, rather than flapping randomly.

There is no way to learn this kind of skill just by studying the structure, Lin has to practice on her own.

This is very simple. Lin creates more flyers and makes them swing their wings in different positions. Sooner or later, one will fly.

So let's spread the green carpet first.

There are too many nutrients in Leviathan. Lin compresses some of the nutrients to form a green blanket seed, and puts this seed under the spire, and it can grow slowly, eating up the moss on the cusp, instead of It covers the spikes to absorb nutrients.

The green blanket that Lin made with the transporter has already covered half of the spiky post. So far, no creatures have come to eat the green blanket. If this method is correct, Lin will make them cover the whole spiky post. Column forest.

Moss secretes a toxin for defense, but it has no effect, and Lin can easily isolate this toxin.

After putting down the green carpet, Lin was going to start preparing for the dark night.

The daytime here is not without creatures, but it is also quite rare. After a long time, Lin encountered a few, which is completely incomparable with the richness of creatures in the sea.

But at night...it's hard to predict.

Those small arthropods are likely to be the first to appear. In order to deal with them, Lin has prepared a lot of troops. These types of troops are called 'Thorners', which are specially modified from the attacking habits of those arthropods.

Now, just waiting for the night to come...
