Organism Type Monitoring: Lost Organism, Dust Crocodile.
Organism's Current Status: Entering a state of suspended animation, then transitioning into a state of high metabolic rate.
Final Conclusion: The organism will be reborn in a juvenile state.
Detailed Description: The organism will constantly change its skin during its growth phase, and it will not stop until it dies of natural causes. A certain special effect … enhances this ability.
When faced with a fatal threat, it will activate an ability to forcefully shed its skin. The shed skin will not directly fall off its body, but it will be wrapped around its body to form a protective layer.
The greater the threat from the outside world, the more skin it would shed as a protective layer. If too much skin was used as a protective layer, its body would slowly change shape. Its bones and some of its internal organs would spontaneously dissolve and change shape to reduce its size.
The nutrients produced by the spontaneity will be transferred to the skin to create more protective layers. At the same time, its body will become smaller and smaller under the pressure of a large number of protective layers.
Finally, it will completely revert to the size of a juvenile. At this time, it was wrapped in layers of protective layers. The temperature and humidity were maintained at normal levels, and it fell into a long sleep until the surrounding temperature returned to normal.
End.
"… I didn't expect the Dust Crocodile to have this ability."
The Scholar was looking at some records. These records showed how the Elite Dust Crocodile survived. In general, the 'dried corpse' that the Scholar saw before was not a dried corpse. In fact, it was just a layer of skin shed by the Elite Dust Crocodile.
The Dust Crocodile's body shrank into this layer of skin. Then, it continued to shed its skin. The shed skin became a 'protective layer' around its body. At the same time, its body shrank smaller and smaller, returning to its juvenile state.
Therefore, it could be said that the Elite Dust Crocodile did not die. It shed a lot of skin and turned itself into a juvenile wrapped in skin to survive in this extreme environment.
It seemed that in the center of the skin, the temperature was normal … so it was fine.
Now, it woke up because it was in this bubble. The temperature of the bubble was quite … suitable. It came out of the dried corpse. Otherwise, it would have slept for a long time. The Elite Dust Crocodile did not know that the Dust Crocodile had this ability. Although the Scholar had read a lot of information about the Dust Crocodile, such as the distribution of internal organs and anatomical structure, there was no information about this.
However, the information mentioned that there seemed to be a special 'effect' that enhanced this ability. Overall, this was a very powerful ability.
Although the elite didn't know that it had this ability, it knew … what the information was about.
It was the document that the Scholar and the beast were looking at. It described the molting process of the elite Dust Crocodile, and it was recorded on a … stone slab.
If they hadn't seen this information, the scholars and elites wouldn't have understood what was going on.
Fortunately, when the Elite was moving around in the bubble, it accidentally found a stone slab under the mummy. Then, it took it out and found that the stone slab was full of words.
These words … were written in the Ancient Dust Crocodile Language.
Ancient Dust Crocodile Language … As the name suggested, it was the ancient Dust Crocodile language. It was said that a long, long time ago, the Dust Crocodile was in a split state. Like other creatures, every Dust Crocodile wanted to be a ruler, so there were many commanders. These commanders fought with each other, and the language used by the Dust Crocodile back then was different from the language used now.
In the end, after the Dust Crocodile united, the language slowly integrated and developed to what it was now, but … this didn't mean that the language of the past had declined.
Because there were many records of the past language, the Dust Crocodile now liked to study things of the past, and the elite was one of the researchers who liked to study ancient civilizations.
So, it understood the Ancient Dust Crocodile Language.
"Ancient Dust Crocodile …" After the Scholar understood all this, she asked the elite, "Is it possible that the one who put you in this bubble is an Ancient Dust Crocodile?"
"I don't know …" the elite said. "We didn't have the technology to fly out of the void … I don't think that's possible. The words on the stone slab only mean that they know this language. It's hard to say what they really are, but at least they are creatures from our world. So, why are they here?"
"If they aren't Ancient Dust Crocodile, then what are they?" The Scholar asked. "I think it might be a small group of Dust Crocodiles. They used some method to leave that place and come to the void …"
"There is another possibility," the elite said. The elite said, "There used to be a legend that our civilization was influenced and developed by something."
"Something?"
"Yes …" the elite said. "Actually, before us, there was a civilization there. We lived on the ruins of the previous civilization, but they went extinct for some reason. Our development might have been inspired by those ruins."
"That's not surprising, but I've heard of a legend … It says that the previous civilization hasn't completely disappeared. Some of them are still alive and have met some of the ancestors of the Dust Crocodiles." The elite said, "This is just a legend I've heard … but …"
"Instead of talking about this here, why don't we just go and investigate," the elite said. The elite said, "The ship you mentioned just now might be operated by the creator of this bubble."
"You are right," the Scholar said. "Then, I will go and take a look. You …"
"I will stay here," the elite said. "After all, I cannot go with you."
"Okay, I will put something that can be used to communicate here." The Scholar took out a mini Scholar and said, "If there is a situation …"
"What is that?"
Suddenly, the elite pointed behind the Scholar. The Scholar immediately turned around to look. It saw a palmstone behind it … It was doing something strange.
The Scholar remembered that the palmstone was originally in a clenched fist, but now it was open, and it kept shaking all the 'fingers' on it.
"… What is this?"
The Scholar looked at this strange … stone. It was filled with confusion. It decided to go and investigate, but when the Scholar walked to the side of the palmstone, the palmstone closed its fist and stopped moving.
