Chapter 6: The Last Flame
The creature landed in front of the monitor lizard and let out a roar, which made the tyrant monitor lizard stop and even take a few steps back in a row.
Could this be...... Wyvern?
The creature that suddenly fell did look exactly like the Wyvern, but it was more than twelve meters long, almost twice the size of the Wyvern that Lin had seen before, and Lin found that the Wyvern actually had three pairs of limbs.
One pair of limbs with winged membranes now constricted to its body, while it also had a pair of forelimbs and a pair of hind limbs with claws, and it stood on all fours instead of on two feet, and it was able to free a pair of wings for flight.
Lynn believes that wyverns evolved from reptiles, but reptiles have only four limbs and have never seen more than that.
In this way, there is a big gap between the relationship between the flying dragon and the reptiles, and the fish evolved into salamanders, and then evolved into reptiles, so the ancestor of the flying dragon may be a fish with many fins, and their limbs are basically changed from the original fins.
The three-finned fish Lin has seen quite a lot in the sea, and many have evolved into salamanders, but they generally only retain two pairs of limbs after evolution, maybe there is a multi-finned fish that retains three pairs of limbs and evolves into terrestrial creatures, and evolves into a three-pair limb wyvern?
Now that the Tyrant Monitor Lizard had regained its composure, it would measure the gap between itself and its opponent, and would not dare to rush forward to attack directly, and the skeleton dragon behind the Wyvern had no interest in watching the battle, and immediately fled without a trace.
Why is Wyvern here? Are you looking for the cubs?
Sure enough, with the cry of the flying dragon, the little flying dragon in Leviathan's body also woke up. Constant rattling sounds in response.
The large wyvern heard the sound as well. But it didn't turn its head. Instead, he stared at the tyrant monitor lizard, which did not intend to retreat, but was looking for an opportunity to attack.
The wyvern kept roaring, but its intimidation seemed to wear off, and the monitor lizard was closing in on the wyvern little by little, and finally the wyvern let out a special sound, and it opened its mouth and spewed a fiery red flame from its mouth. Hit the Tyrant monitor lizard in the head.
Does this wyvern still breathe fire? However, the one that Lin saw originally couldn't, probably because it was not fully mature, and the little dragon didn't have three pairs of limbs, which may also be related to age.
The burned monitor lizard screamed, and it suddenly entered the same furious excitement as it had before, and it pounced on the wyvern completely ignoring the burning wound!
The wyvern erupted in a breath of fire again, and the monitor lizard's jaw burst out of the flames, biting down on the wyvern's neck, and it continued to shake.
The wyvern shouted. A burst of fire erupted again, leaving a scorched trail on the monitor lizard's back. At the same time, its left and right claws swung continuously, and its sharp claws pierced into the skin of the monitor lizard, leaving several bloody scars on the monitor lizard's body.
The monitor lizard bit the neck of the wyvern and did not let go until it died.
In order to protect the cubs, the wyvern is relatively normal, while the monitor lizard is a completely abnormal behavior, even if it kills the wyvern, the nutrients obtained may not make so many wounds heal.
The wyvern finally stabbed the monitor lizard in the neck with the claws of its forelimbs, and the two sides were engaged in a final stalemate......
The stalemate lasted for about sixty seconds, and the monitor lizard let go of its mouth, took two steps back, and then fell to the ground.
The wyvern pulled out its claws that had been stabbed in the dragon's neck, and the bones in its neck seemed to have been crushed by the monitor lizard, and its head staggered to its body, and then it fell to the ground with a bang, never to move again......
Did both behemoths die in battle?
It's a shame, it shouldn't be easy for them to grow that big, and maybe the kind of tree that can shoot needles should be eliminated.
But now...... Lin wanted to dismantle the Wyvern first, this creature might be bigger than the Leviathan, but it shouldn't be difficult to decompose.
Leviathan unleashed a number of small classes and let them burrow into the wyvern's corpse to explore, while taking out the little wyvern that was screaming inside by the way.
The little wyvern didn't seem to react when he saw the corpse of the big wyvern, but just climbed on it and smelled the smell of the big wyvern's corpse, as if he was looking for something.
At this time, Lin had already noticed some noises coming from the surrounding jungle, and some creatures felt the death of these two creatures, and wanted to get this huge amount of food, but the Leviathan was also a large creature, so no creatures dared to approach it for the time being.
However, there was still a small creature rushing towards it in groups, they were only a few centimeters long, but they were extremely numerous, they moved quickly, they poured out from all directions from the surrounding woodland, these small creatures should be the evolved type of bees, the body shape looks almost the same as that of bees, but there are no wings, and they are very small.
Although they looked like they were more degenerate, Lynn noticed that some of them were large and small, some were five centimeters long and had serrated jaws, some were very small, only a few millimeters, and they moved around the larger ones, while others were medium in size and had quite a few different types of divisions.
These tiny arthropods are called 'ants', and although they do not seem to have the momentum of bees, they are much higher than bees in the evolutionary process of division of labor and unity, and can be regarded as a true division of labor species, unlike bees that are just primitive types.
Bees have no division of labor, they are basically the same size, and these ants that have undergone evolution have more obvious division of labor, and Lin has also predicted that the evolution of bees is basically the same as the 'ant' in front of her.
Of course, it's not that small.
As for their names...... It's called 'meat cutting ants'
Lynn had Leviathan fly over the dragon's corpse and placed several explosive bombs, which exploded and sprinkled an acid onto the dragon's corpse, and the swarm of flesh-cutting ants smelled the acid and bypassed the dragon's corpse, and surrounded the body of the tyrant monitor lizard.
The bees of the Twisted Jungle hate the smell too, and it seems that their ancestors are exactly the same.
Instead of biting on the sturdy outer skin, these colonies burrow wounds, mouths, and other parts that can be drilled into, as if intending to eat from within.
Lin looked at them and thought that if they weren't so small, this group of divisional species might be as powerful as the divisional species in the Twisted Jungle, and based on her research on Inca swarms, Lynn found that if they were a special 'brainless' species, then their intelligence level would be related to the size of the colony.
Speaking of which, Lin recently discovered that Montezuma II of the Aztec worms seems to have arrived closer to this side, and they didn't sail this way at first, maybe they were blown by the current or something, and they used the method of the head worm to create that kind of 'sail' sailing, which is not easy to control, and it is easy to have all kinds of problems.
Speaking of which, I don't know where the Inca swarm has gone, maybe it's on another continent, they don't know what interesting things will happen.
Now, while the meat cleaver is devouring the corpse of the tyrant monitor lizard, Lin has also begun to study the body structure of the wyvern.
This creature has a very interesting body, they have a second brain-like structure in their body, which is used to control too many limbs, which is quite fun, because there are more arthropods, but they rarely grow more than one brain.
Other structural aspects are similar to what Lin imagined, the wyvern produces a flammable liquid in its body, which is squeezed and ejected at a critical moment.
In addition, the creature is so heavy that it has a sac inside it that holds a very light gas to help with flight and lift-off.
Their forelimbs seem to begin to develop after a certain age, and they may be too heavy in their upper body when they reach a certain size, so they need this kind of limb to support them rather than standing on their feet alone.
Lin also found something special in the throat of the wyvern, a type of stone that Lin estimated would rub against the stone when it breathed fire, causing the heat to ignite the liquid that ejected it.
And this kind of stone is very rare, Lin has only seen one place, and this place may also mean the origin of the Wyvern.
…… Crater.
If the Wyvern were in a crater, they might be able to find their race there, but now that Lynn knew the structure of the Wyvern, there was no need to go out of her way to find them...... That being said, it's better to take a look.
Leviathan wanted to reach out his tentacles and roll up the little dragon, when Lin suddenly noticed that the little dragon was gone, and it rolled under the body of the big dragon, and there was a large group of meat cutting ants around it, some of which had already climbed on it and cut its relatively young scales with their jaws.
The little dragon kept screaming, and he didn't look like he was going to run away.
It appears to be very immobile and has a limited ability to recognize its surroundings, but will occasionally run around.
Leviathan reached out and rolled it up, then slapped off all the meat cleavers on it, and Leviathan placed it on its back and ascended above the jungle.
The volcano in the distance was still billowing with smoke, and it looked like it was going to erupt at any moment, but Lynn didn't feel the possibility of an eruption yet, the volcano wasn't far away, and the Leviathan would be able to reach it soon if she accelerated her flight.
After approaching the volcano, Lynn found that the mountain was smaller than the one in the Twisted Jungle, about a few hundred meters high, and the smoke kept rising from the opening at the top, and Lynn had not seen any signs of the Wyvern's activity, so she asked Leviathan to take a closer look.
"Gah!" Suddenly, as Leviathan approached, the Wyvern screamed, and it spread its wings and rushed out of Leviathan's back......
Leviathan immediately reached out and grabbed it, it couldn't fly at all now, and it was dead when it rushed out.
However, Lin felt a special feeling the moment the little flying dragon rushed out......
It felt like 'compassion', but it wasn't quite the same, but Lynn knew that they all meant the same message......
This wyvern, only the last one remains. (To be continued......)
