Chapter 25: The Seed

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Huge columns of smoke poured out of the depths of the trench, and they rushed out of the trench and kept pouring upwards until they finally became more and more sparse and dissipated.

Lynn thought it was a harmful substance and stayed away, but the creatures around reacted in the opposite way, with small trilobites burrowing out of the sand and congregating at the cracks in the trench, waving their arthropods to feed on the smoke and dust that had been scattered.

Is this edible?

When Lynn was wondering, she noticed a number of single-celled organisms, as well as some jellyfish approaching the smoke, but they did not enter the center, but only swam around the smoke column, which Lynn thought was also collecting dust.

Maybe there's something edible in the smoke?

Lin wasn't surprised, after all, there were even creatures that had eaten up, but it would be great to be able to harness such a huge amount of energy......

The Leviathan created a new class called the 'Analyst', which had a round body and a large mouth similar to that of the Devourer, but it had no teeth and was filled with tiny tentacles that could analyze whether the material it came into contact with was harmful or beneficial to Lynn's cells.

Like the jellyfish around them, the analyst swallowed a lot of dust from the smoke, and then felt the ingredients with the tentacles in his mouth.

Lynn could sense from the analyzer's tentacles that the dust was somewhat harmless and some harmful, but that it was not something that could be digested by any cell.

Lynn's cell-digesting abilities vary, such as acid injectors or blasters, which can decompose quite a lot of matter, including many non-living substances, while basal cells can only digest debris or plaster from other cells.

Come to think of it, Lynn hadn't seen white cream in a long time......

Lynn doesn't know exactly what digestion means, but what her current research has done is that it should also be a process of decomposition to reorganization, using a substance in the body to dissolve the swallowed substance, and then reassembling it into the same composition as the body.

The process is very complicated, but the dissolved fluid in the acid-infusing and popping bulbs obviously helps them to break down more efficiently, and after being able to use oxygen, Lynn also found that the cells sometimes use oxygen to break down food.

Just like the dust in this smoke, it also needs to be mixed with oxygen to decompose.

The decomposition of the mystery is not yet understood, but it knows that these plumes of smoke gushing out of the trench are actually food that keeps gushing out!

Their production is so large that there is no reason not to take it up.

Leviathan doesn't stop traveling, and the base doesn't have to come here, so Lynn can build a new base here.

Lynn had Leviathan create a special gadget inside her body called 'Base Seed'.

This is a spherical substance composed of 80% fat cells, 10% basal cells, and 10% glandular cells, and the basal cells inside can use the fat cells to divide quickly and grow into a small base.

Small bases recreate classes and capture food, eventually growing into large bases.

This type of base is not the same as the original one, and will eventually grow into a triangular structure, with all organs contained and the outer skin protected by a hard shell.

Well, that's a good plan...... Lin decided, and when she saw any nutrient-rich areas in the future, she would put a base seed there.

If that base is short of resources, Lynn will have the base decompose itself and eventually form a group of transporters to transport all the nutrients to the nearest base.

Leviathan placed the base seed in the sand at the edge of the trench, and ate a few small trilobites nearby to prevent them from affecting the base.

The glandular cells of the base seed will secrete a layer of chitin, which surrounds the base seed, and then the basal cells inside begin to change, and after the change is completed, they can open in the shell, release troops or extend tentacles.

Until the base is about to grow, Lynn will dissolve this shell in exchange for a larger one.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it provides good protection.

After the shell is secreted, there will be almost no damage, and the Leviathan will be able to leave.

So where do you go next?

Leviathan slowly swam over the dark abyss of the trench, and in front of Lynn, there was still a white sand beach, and the boulders looming in the distance caught Lynn's attention.

Let's go there and check it out.

The Leviathan didn't swim fast, and Lynn wanted to swim and observe to see where there were suitable places to put the base seeds.

Most of the creatures on this beach are starfish and anemones, and there is nothing peculiar.

Still some distance from the boulders, Lynn began to pick up speed when she suddenly noticed a few small creatures with flattened bodies swimming around.

Is this a flatworm? It doesn't seem to be quite the same.

Lynn found that the little creatures were about the size of flatworms, but they were relatively long, with rounded mouths and several sharp serrations on them.

It's called a round-billed flatworm.

Lynn ignored them at first, and continued to swim forward, and after swimming for a while, she noticed that the round-billed flatworms were swimming with it, and there were more and more of them.

It seems that the situation is not good......

Lin wanted to speed up, but the round-billed flatworms were much faster, and the Leviathan, which was too large, couldn't get rid of them at all, and more round-billed flatworms swam from a distance, and by this time they had gathered in the thousands.

Looking at the jagged teeth on their mouths, Lynn knew what the creatures were trying to do.

So Lynn made the first move, and it swung all of the Leviathan's biting tentacles, instantly biting several round-billed flatworms swimming nearby, biting them into pieces.

In an instant, all the round-billed flatworms rushed up!

Their round beak resembles a sucker, and when the round-billed flatworm sucks it tightly, it twists its body and scrapes off the target's flesh with its serrations.

Lynn immediately fought back, and Leviathan waved its tentacles, biting the approaching round-billed flatworms.

These creatures don't care about killing one else like jellyfish, round-billed flatworms seem to have an extremely strong sense of companionship, once a companion is killed, they will desperately attack the target of killing their companions, countless round-billed flatworms sucked on Leviathan's tentacles, and the shellless tentacles were suddenly scratched with countless scars.

Although Lin can instantly coagulate the blood vessels in the wound so that the cells do not gush out in large quantities, and the round-billed flatworm cannot damage the carapace of the Leviathan's body, so they attack the tentacle part together, and the tentacle may be torn apart if it continues.

The speed of the round-billed flatworms is very fast, and it is not easy for ordinary troops to catch up with them, so that's all.

Lin quickly assembled a disc-shaped class covered in a hard shell, with a curved blade around the edge of the disk, and it could swim rapidly by spraying water, and it was called ...... Flying saw!

The Leviathan's troop opening opened and it unleashed several flying saws, which were spinning and swimming even faster than the round-billed flatworms, and they were also extremely efficient at killing enemies, and the flying saws could easily turn them into countless debris by spinning their bodies and rushing into the swarm of flatworms.

Countless wrecks and flatworm cells floated in the water, and the Flying Saw's attack crushed the round-billed flatworm swarm, unable to damage the Flying Saw's hard shell, so they were unable to fight back, so they began to retreat and flee.

Although the round-billed flatworms were extremely united in their attacks, they scattered and fled in all directions when they retreated, but Lin thought it was a more effective means of escaping, which prevented it from pursuing them all at once.

Rather than chase it, Lynn retrieved the flying saw, releasing the collector to eat the remains of the surrounding round-billed flatworms while repairing the scars on the tentacles.

These things seem to be very smart.

Previously, the flatworms that Lin encountered would build megalithic circles, but now these will attack in teams.

Is there something special about them?

Lynn studied a relatively complete remains of a round-billed flatworm and found that the ganglia in their head was so large that it no longer seemed to be called a 'ganglia', but a new word to describe the structure.

"Brain".

In addition, this round-billed flatworm is also the same as the previous flatworm, with a cylindrical body composed of chitin, which extends from head to tail.

Lin never understood, what did they put their shells in their bodies? It's just taking a place there, right?

There is also a neologism used to describe this structure.

Spine.
