It was now daytime. Bright sunlight illuminated the Twisted Jungle. The dark clouds and storm had long since dispersed. The chirping of crickets could be heard from the huge floating island. It was as though nothing had happened before.
But the traces left on the ground proved that everything was indelible. On the ground, a trace extended from the desert all the way to the Twisted Jungle, and then to the mountain peak. It was like a huge canyon, filled with seawater and various floating objects.
The 'canyon' was more than ten kilometers wide. Hometrees that had not collapsed during the collapse stood on the surface of the water in the canyon. Many flying creatures flew around these huge trees. Rainbows after the storm also rose between the branches, as though to prove 'rebirth after destruction'.
It really formed a new environment.
In the end, the seawater did not flood the jungle, but the collapsed underground world formed a new environment.
From the very beginning, there was no destruction, only a new beginning.
Now, many creatures began to adapt to this new environment. Some creatures with stronger adventurous thoughts had already jumped into the sea of the canyon to obtain large amounts of food floating on the surface of the water. Some creatures that survived the collapse also jumped into the water under the warmth of the sun, attempting to swim to the edge of the cliff and climb up.
Although the water surface was still quite far from the top of the canyon, they had found hope.
Bechymos slowly flew through the huge canyon. Looking at the various creatures in the water, Rin felt a wonderful feeling in her mind.
Life is really interesting.
At the same time, the headworm's Rock Cry airship was following behind Bechymos. The headworm could not wait any longer and wanted to roll in the water.
The headworm had added a lot of stones to the airship as a weight. These stones were collected by the headworm by bouncing the infantry to the other floating islands. Then, it used soft glue to pull the airship up. Later on, Rin also helped the headworm collect some stones. After careful calculations, the large amount of stones would allow the airship to slowly sink from the air, but it would float on the water surface. Because the headworm had blocked all the entrances and exits at the bottom of the airship, no water would enter.
The headworm worked so hard and did so many things for only one purpose – to jump into the water.
The headworm rolled on the airship. When it reached the edge of the airship, it suddenly shouted, "Roll. Water. "
Then, with a thud, he fell into the water from the airship.
The back of the airship was tens of meters above the water surface. If the posture of entering the water was not correct, it could cause the entire body to shatter. If the posture was correct, it could be very high and still be fine. The Cephalopod itself was very light, and it also understood this point.
"Gulu gulu tumble, gulu bubble." The headworm rolled around in the water while singing a cheerful song. Although the song did not sound cheerful, its mood was indeed very cheerful.
After the rain, the sky cleared up. Rolling in the sea was indeed a very happy thing, and Lin found it more interesting to watch it roll. He also had to pay attention to the predators nearby. There didn't seem to be any large predators nearby. After all, the rift valley had just appeared, so there weren't many predators. However, it was hard to say in the water.
However, the overmind didn't seem to feel any danger at all. It rolled on the surface of the water for a while before diving back down. At this time, Lin also noticed that some small creatures were approaching her.
Was that … Gu You? It seemed that there were quite a lot of them.
These Gu You were all holding sharp wooden splinters. They pointed the splinters forward and quickly rushed towards the rolling Cephalopod in the water! Although the Cephalopod noticed it, its rolling movements were far slower than the Gu You.
Lin did not move.
However, just as the Gu You was about to stab the Cephalopod, they all suddenly stopped and painfully used their tentacles to hug their bodies and fled into the depths.
This was a recent discovery. The Cephalopod actually had a certain level of defensive ability.
Its brain signals could not only be used to command troops, but they could also be used as a means of attack. The brain worm could concentrate these signals to affect the brains of other creatures, causing a variety of problems such as transmission errors. However, the most common problem was extreme pain in the head, which could sometimes even lead to a situation of madness.
This method was different from reading memories. This was not only the first time Lin discovered that the Cephalopod could do this, but it also seemed to be the first time the Cephalopod discovered that it had this ability.
The Cephalopod usually had no effect on large creatures, so Lin only needed to pay attention to large creatures. It also had no effect on creatures without brains. Usually, it would only have a temporary effect on branching creatures.
In short, this way, the Cephalopod could play more peacefully.
"Gulu, don't run."
The Cephalopod rolled in the water and chased after the Gu You. Because they were disturbed, their swimming speed was very slow. The Cephalopod easily caught up with the slowest one.
"Gulu, gulu, I've caught up."
The Cephalopod's vocal sac could not enter water, but it could deliberately imitate the sound of a drowning creature. It seemed very interesting. The Cephalopod leaned its body on the slowest Gu You. Lin realized that it seemed to be trying its best to release its brain signals.
This could be considered as playing. Discovering a new ability made it very excited.
Slap!
Lin heard a small sound. The Gu You suddenly sank into the water as if it had died.
The Cephalopod seemed to want to chase after it, but in the dark water, it gave up and swam back to the surface, continuing to roll in the water and play.
Lin used sound detection to continue tracking the situation of the ancient squids. Lin discovered that the group of ancient squids from before had surrounded the ancient squid that had been killed by the brainworm. They were constantly waving their tentacles, as if trying to express something.
In the end, they grabbed each tentacle of the dead Gu You and swam in different directions to pull it apart.
What kind of strange action was this? The Ancient Squid's body exploded. Next, they grabbed a sac-like organ from the exploded Ancient Squid's body and swam into the distance.
Did they explode it because they wanted to get that organ? That organ seemed to be used to store eggs. After laying the eggs, the Gu You would temporarily put the eggs in that position. What were they doing with that?
Lin planned to track them and observe them. Lin ordered the reconnaissance aircraft to quickly chase in the direction that the Gu You had left.
On the surface of the water, the overmind used this new method of attack to stun a lot of small creatures near it. Although it seemed to be fun, it seemed to consume a lot of energy. It soon became tired, and then it asked its own infantry to use rubber to pull it back to the airship.
But when it was halfway done, Lin suddenly felt a strong vibration. Floating astronomy.
