This felt like the mouth of a worm. The moment the Speeder was swallowed, it was instantly crushed.
The Speeder did not possess any offensive capabilities. It was only capable of running fast. A small loss wasn't a big deal. This made Lin even more interested in the upper reaches of the river. However, Lin also knew that the higher one went in the river, the greater the water flow. Thus, it seemed that the reason why the water flow decreased was due to the sand and not the upper reaches.
Sooner or later, Lin would go to the upper reaches to take a look. However, there were many other problems to deal with now.
Ever since the Speeder entered the Aztec worm's' underground cave ', the vibrations from the inside had never stopped. It was only during the second night that the entrance to the cave opened up again.
When the Speeder exited the cave, the surroundings were still the same desert. However, Lin knew that this was a different place.
It seemed that the Aztec worms would ride on these creatures buried deep in the sand to travel long distances across the desert, avoiding the heat and light of the day.
This method seemed to be quite good. It seemed that these creatures had developed an interesting way of life. Lin did not know how big this creature in the sand was. Thus, she decided to give it a name: 'Deep Sand Bus'.
What was a 'bus'? In Lin's mind, it seemed to refer to something that many creatures rode on.
However, she did not know why the Aztec worms were afraid of light. Perhaps she would have to catch one and dissect it to find out.
Many large Aztec worms exited the 'Deep Sand Bus'. Lin had seen them in the forest of spires. After all of them exited the cave, the entrance to the Deep Sand Bus closed up again. The Speeder dived into the sand.
I really want to dig it out and see what it looks like.
Although that was what she thought. However, the Flyer still managed to keep up with the Aztecs. After exiting the bus, the Aztec worms headed towards the west. The Speeder flew to a high altitude and could faintly see their destination. Were those … rocks?
Under the darkness of the night, Lin could not see clearly. She could only see a large pile of 2 to 3 meter tall round rocks. When she got closer, Lin finally saw them clearly. They were indeed rocks.
However, they were rocks covered in moss.
Furthermore, there were also a large number of Aztec worms here. Could it be that they were growing moss here, just like in the forest of spikes?
The Flyer flew to a high altitude and observed the place. This' Round Stone Forest 'was a little smaller than the Forest of Sharp Pillars, and it was located in the middle of the desert, unlike the Forest of Sharp Pillars which was located by the sea. However, there was a lake that was more than ten meters wide in the center. It seems to be used to maintain water.
The Aztec worms that came in the 'bus' were currently communicating with the Aztec worms in the Pebble Forest, using their antennae to touch each other. Although they were always making 'quacking' sounds, it seemed that they were using scent signals to communicate.
After a brief exchange, the Aztec worms left. The Flyer followed them and found that they had returned to their previous location. Then, the hole in the Deepsand Bus appeared again, and they entered it again.
Lin's Flyer also entered. Riding the 'Deepsand Bus', Lin arrived at the next location. When the hole opened again, Lin saw a large rock.
This rock was relatively large, with a width of over a hundred meters and a height of tens of meters. However, there was only one rock. Naturally, the surface of this rock was covered in moss. Additionally, there were many small holes on the surface of the rock, where many Aztec worms were entering and exiting.
Just like before, the Aztec worms from the Forest of Sharp Pillars would communicate with them before returning to the 'Deepsand Bus'.
What were they doing?
Lin followed the 'Deepsand Bus' and arrived at a total of five locations. The Round Stone Forest, the Boulder Forest and two cliffs by the sea. They were planting moss on the cliffs.
As for the last location, it was a forest. This forest was very small and located in the middle of the desert. However, it was filled with all sorts of plants. There was no moss, only Aztec worms.
Including the Forest of Sharp Pillars, the Aztec worms lived in a total of six locations. Based on the speed of the 'Deepsand Bus', they were separated by roughly a day. After visiting the last location, the 'Deepsand Bus' returned to the Forest of Sharp Pillars and released the Aztec worms.
What were they doing? Could it be that they were communicating with one another regularly? Or were they doing something because Lin had cut away the moss in the Forest of Sharp Pillars?
It was truly incomprehensible.
Lin had placed Flyers in all the territories of the Aztec worms to observe them. Lin's Flyers could split up and form more Flyers.
Following that, Lin ordered the Flyers to continue studying the Aztec worms. Lin discovered that the Aztec worms in the Forest of Sharp Pillars would board the 'Deepsand Bus' once every three days or so. They would make a round trip to the other five locations before returning to the Forest of Sharp Pillars. Apart from that, there was nothing special. The Aztec worms in the other locations were similar to the Forest of Sharp Pillars. They were nocturnal and diurnal, feeding on moss and other vegetation.
In addition, Lin had also conducted some research on the Aztec worms. In fact, apart from the 'Deepsand Bus' that resided in the desert, there were only three types of Aztec worms. One type was 4 metres long and was the largest type. The other two types were roughly 10 cm in length. However, one type could fly and the other couldn't. Additionally, they used smell and sound to communicate. Apart from the type that could fly, the other two types didn't have vision.
Lin had also conducted some research on their environment. Within the Aztec worms' territories, apart from themselves and the vegetation, they would kill all other living creatures. Only a few creatures that were relatively hard like beetles would be spared. Therefore, only a few creatures with hard shells, or creatures that were proficient in concealment, or creatures that could fly would appear in the Aztec worms' territories during the day.
Additionally, each of their territories was very small. Perhaps due to the limited water source, the largest territory was the Forest of Sharp Pillars. However, it was relatively narrow and only had a circumference of 10 kilometres.
They didn't expand their territories because they were surrounded by deserts. It seemed like the Aztec worms wouldn't cause any harm to the environment.
They seemed to be a harmless species. Their actions of boarding the 'Deepsand Bus' should be a regular communication.
These creatures were fun to play with. Why did they build their nests in the desert instead of the Twisted Forest? Regarding this point, Lin indeed felt very strange.
Why? Lin was currently researching this question. However, the answer might not be easy to find.
Currently, the restoration of the Shining Forest was a success. The mosses that were planted were very suitable for this place. At the same time, the seeds that were buried had begun to grow. They absorbed the ashes of the flames and grew rapidly. If Lin allowed the mosses that were resistant to fungi to breed with them, the problem would be solved.
This way, the forest would soon be filled with the radiance of life once again!
After completing this task, Lin felt a sense of accomplishment. It seemed like this feeling didn't come from defeating a powerful enemy, but from working hard to accomplish a task.
Apart from Lin, there was another creature that felt happy. That was the Cerebrum. It would emit excited noises in response to Lin's actions, which could be described as' cheering '.
However, there were still many problems with Lin and the Cerebrum's method of communication. Lin couldn't possibly show everything to the Cerebrum, so she couldn't understand the Cerebrum's vocabulary. The Cerebrum seemed to understand the Aztec worms, but Lin didn't know how to ask it.
Hmm … is' ask 'a new word? Lin noticed that after communicating with the Cerebrum, many words related to communication appeared in her mind.
However, Lin could only use a few words to communicate with the Cerebrum. It was very difficult for her to gain a deeper understanding of the Cerebrum.
However, Lin thought of a new method. She didn't need to bring anything back to tell the Cerebrum. Using this method, Lin could even display all the images in her mind to the Cerebrum.
That's right, she didn't need to bring anything back. She only needed to construct the image.
And the method to construct the image was …
Pigment cells!
By combining a variety of pigment cells, Lin could not only change color, but also create various images. She could even 100% restore any scene.
With that in mind, Lin quickly came up with a new type of unit called the 'Display'. This unit's skin layer contained a rich amount of pigment cells, its body was flat, all it needed to do was to lean against the wall of the cave and the brain worm would be able to see its image.
Lin had the Cerebrum stay in the room and observe the Display on the cave wall. At the same time, the Display began to adjust its pigment cells to display the image.
Lin changed the pigment cells to display the image of a beetle on the Display's skin. At first, there seemed to be a problem with the light, so Lin mixed in a few light-emitting cells.
When the Cerebrum saw this scene, it was shocked. It looked like it had arrived at a real place. Lin was also surprised. Lin knew that as long as the combination was correct, the pigment cells would be able to display the real scene, but she didn't expect the effect to be this good.
At first, the Cerebrum seemed to think that what appeared inside was real. When Lin displayed the image of some carnivorous arthropods, it was so scared that it rolled away, but after rolling a few times, it rolled back.
The Cerebrum seemed to have realized that this wasn't real and was only an image created by the pigment cells. As expected of a creature with a large brain, it understood very quickly.
Lin showed the Cerebrum a lot of images, which increased its vocabulary even more. While watching, the Cerebrum suddenly began to make strange movements. It bit a small sharp stone with its mouth and began to draw on the ground.
Lin noticed that the Cerebrum used the stone to draw marks on the ground. When these marks were combined together, they looked just like an image. It was a lot simpler, but Lin could still understand it. The Cerebrum drew its own image on the ground, as well as the images of several arthropods.
