Chapter 14 Jungle Hunter

In the jungle covered by countless twisted tree poles, Lin has been here for two days and nights, and she has also done some research on the environment here.

Even in the dark, it is as bright as day. The luminous crystal dust on the countless moss makes this jungle never usher in true darkness. Many creatures living here have no concept of day and night. They all live under the light.

In this forest, there is a small river that is only two meters wide. Magically, on the other side of the river, it is a different scene.

Perhaps due to geological reasons, the land here is only scattered with moss, the light of the stars cannot reach the vast woodland, and where the light cannot reach, there are only twisted and complex shadows. This is also the world of predators, they are hidden in the dark Among them, waiting for their prey to approach, only a very small number of predators will set foot on the other half of the area full of light.

The dark half is called the 'Plain of Darkness' by Lin, and the side with the glowing moss is called the 'Glitter Woodland', and the river is the dividing line between them.

Ten strange arthropods with scorpion-shaped bodies, long slender legs and blade-like forelimbs rushed out of the darkness and ran quickly across the river. With the splashing water, they boarded this shimmering light. of woodland.

Each of these arthropods is 30 centimeters long, and it is called the 'Hunter', the first small unit that Lin created after she came here.

Lin has now changed her previous plan. It is interesting to let Leviathan go out to explore by herself, but after seeing the rapid evolution of the surrounding species, Lin believes that the previous method of single exploration is no longer applicable. If you encounter unknown and powerful threats , it is also difficult to escape.

Therefore, Lin decided to adopt a plan that is not limited to individuals, that is, to create an army, explore the surrounding area, and then occupy it with a green blanket. Leviathan itself usually does not move, but serves as an existence as a movable base.

The hunters lowered their bodies and moved slowly across the glowing moss floor.

At night, there are fewer predators in the glittering woodland than in the daytime. After all, the light comes from the ground, and it is difficult for predators to hide their bodies...except for these predators that change color.

If you need to expand the troops quickly, it is too slow to use only the nutrients of the green carpet, and Lin must hunt other creatures to obtain nutrients.

The hunter stared at a creature that was eating moss not far ahead. This round arthropod was more than one meter long and covered with sturdy armor.

It has a name called 'beetle', but beetle is a general term. Lin found many beetle-like creatures in this forest. In order to distinguish them, each of them cannot be called a beetle. This one is specially called 'moss-eating beetle'.

Moss-eating beetles are small to medium-sized beetles, making them a good target.

The whole body of the hunters exudes the same brilliance as the moss. Not only can they change color, but Lin also specially let them collect crystal dust and sprinkle them all over their bodies, so that they are integrated with the surrounding environment. their proximity.

When approaching the moss-eater a certain distance, all the hunters rushed out immediately, and the moss-eater responded quickly. It instantly opened the carapace behind it, and four huge wings spread out from it.

Before it could fly, a hunter had already swooped on Mosquito's back, and the sharp forelimbs cut several cracks in the wings in an instant.

The moss-eater flapped its wings violently, but couldn't lift it at all because of the laceration. At this time, the other hunters also rushed forward, stabbing the moss-eater's body and leg joints with their forelimbs.

The beetle was easily defeated by the hunters, green fluid gushing out of its stabbed joints, and its entire body fell to the ground.

Unlike the temporary weapons that Leviathan usually makes, the hunters have a complete set of organs and circulatory systems in their bodies, so they can eat the beetles on the spot and store nutrients in their abdomens to bring back.

There are three hunters who are responsible for eating the blood shed by the moss-eating beetle,

The rest is responsible for cutting its armor, this thing is very hard, so it takes a lot of effort.

Some small reptiles were attracted by the smell of blood and approached here. They swayed around the corpse, trying to get closer to eat a little blood. Lin separated two hunters to drive them away. Lin had no idea of ​​sharing.

Fish are the strongest creatures in the sea, but the evolutionary reptiles as fish are very weak on land. Most of them are plant eaters or scavengers. Lin noticed that most of them here are huge. Most of the arthropods were found, but Lin only explored a small area of ​​this twisted jungle, and there may be more exotic species elsewhere.

After the hunters cut open the beetle's abdomen, they all quickly gathered together to eat. Lin knew that the corpse would not only attract small reptiles, but also some powerful creatures.

For example...a creature called a 'cockroach'.

This kind of creature is huge in size and super fast. Its mouth like a sharp blade can quickly cut the target. Lin has released some flyers to search before, but they are all eaten by this kind of creature called cockroach.

Cockroaches are also one of the predators that are active in the glittering woodland, because they are so fast that even if their prey finds it early, they cannot escape.

Fortunately, the hunters ate quickly, and the moss-eating armor was quickly eaten into an empty shell, and no other creatures were attracted. Look for debris inside the shell of the armor.

The hunters returned quickly, and they crossed the river to the cave entrance of the Darkness.

Lin enlarged the originally excavated cave, which felt very suitable for use as a base. Now it is a cave that is more than ten meters deep and three meters wide. Prevent caves from collapsing.

After the hunters return, they condense the nutrients they get into small spheres and spit them out. In addition to absorbing what they need, the extra nutrients will be brought back to Leviathan.

Leviathan used the collector to start eating the nutrient balls. At this time, the little desert scorpions that were sleeping deep in the cave seemed to smell the smell of food, so they rushed out and grabbed the nutrient balls with small tongs to eat.

Lin didn't stop them. It seemed that it would be fun to raise these scorpions. These creatures are smarter and can distinguish between the troops made by Lin and other species, so they know not to attack Lin's collectors.

The scorpions only eat one or two pieces each and do not eat them. The food intake is quite small, but in fact they grow very fast. way to grow, it feels wasteful and dangerous when unshelled.

Lin usually does not increase the size of Leviathan, but only dissolves it at some special occasions, and then reassembles the whole again.

Lin collected and digested all the nutrient balls, and then began to create more troops. Lin is now adding three bombers to the hunter team. This creature is also like a scorpion, with a body length of 30 cm. , the tail is not a poison needle but a muzzle, which is used to launch armor-dissolving bombs. Now most of the targets are arthropods, and the ability to penetrate armor is essential.

Lin felt that the scorpion's body was the most perfect form it had ever seen. It was suitable for both attack and defense, and it didn't affect the speed. It felt very practical.

Lin asked Leviathan to continue to create some digging troops to assist in digging large caves, while the hunter's team continued to go out to hunt for food.

Just as the first hunter stepped out of the hole, Lin felt that it was caught by something and was instantly dragged into the sky. Before it could see what it was, the hunter's head was bitten to pieces. .

When the remaining hunters walked out of the cave and looked up, they could only vaguely see a large piece of twisted tree trunk shrouded in darkness, and they couldn't see the creature that attacked the hunter just now.

There are so many monsters in this forest...

Although she stayed for two days and nights, Lin only saw a few creatures. Lin could say she didn't know the creature just now. Lin's cave is located at the dividing line between light and darkness - beside the river, and it is located in On the dark side, that creature is likely to come from the Dark Land, which Lin hasn't explored much. Recently, it has concentrated its hunting grounds in the shining jungle with glowing moss.

So, do you want to go after it? Lin could feel that the captured hunter was being devoured by something, but it would not be eaten up for a while.

It seems that it is not worthwhile to go deep into the dangerous darkness for a hunter, but in order to ensure his own safety in the future, he still needs to kill this creature that can sneak attack at the entrance of the lair.

However, Lin did not want to dispatch troops to attack the target. After all, the risk factor is too great, and there is a possibility of complete destruction. Lin must come up with another method...

Thinking about it, Lin asked Leviathan to create a glowing flyer and fly over the twisted tree jungle.
