"Ding."
The pompom extended a tentacle with sharp fangs and knocked on the stone pillar, making a crisp sound.
It was a strange feeling. This was similar to the stone that attracted lightning that Lin found before. Was this thing deliberately placed here to attract lightning?
Lin also saw carvings on the stone that looked like patterns, and there was a long stone under the pillar.
What was this for? Lin found that the long stone was placed one after another, and each one was sandwiched between two large stones, extending all the way down the mountain.
So that's how it is. This thing... was used to prevent lightning.
These stones could conduct electricity, just like the column. They were connected one by one, and the last one was inserted into the ground. This way, lightning could be guided into the ground. In fact, this kind of structure could occasionally be seen in trees. Some of the taller trees would have similar lightning-resistant structures in their bodies.
However, the stones on this mountain were placed like this on purpose. This was strange. What kind of creature could discover this? How did they know that this would attract lightning?
It was not easy to discover so many continuous connections in a creature's brain.
There were obviously creatures living in the mountain, so they needed something like this to resist lightning. However, they had not found the entrance to their nest yet. It was probably a hidden entrance.
This kind of stone was not very common... Lin felt that she should take it back and collect it, but it was better to meet its creator first.
The rain was getting heavier, and the pompom was completely soaked. It was difficult to continue flying. Lin let it fly into the gap between the two large stones. She planned to hide from the wind and rain first...
It was probably always raining here, which was why the forest was so wet. The pompom used a special method to absorb all the water in its body, and then discharged it through one of its tentacles. This way, its body returned to normal in an instant.
"Boom!"
Under the bright light of the lightning, Lin saw the whole forest swaying in the wind, but she paid more attention to the thing under the pompom. It was in the gap between the rocks where the pompom was. It was filled with small yellow flowers.
This was the second 'flower-type creature' that Lin had seen. This one looked very normal, each flower was about three centimeters in diameter. It shouldn't be able to set fire like the Flame Blossom. It swayed slightly in the wind and rain, then slowly reached out from the ground.
… stretched out?
These flowers seemed to be like tentacles, extending from the ground in large numbers and approaching the pompon. After the pompon was touched, it felt a little numb.
This flower has electricity?
The flowers Lin saw in her thoughts were probably used to attract creatures and help them carry reproductive cells. However, the flowers Lin saw here were either set on fire or emitted electricity.
A large number of small flowers grew out of the ground. They seemed to want to besiege Lin's pompoms, and the pompoms also extended a large number of tentacles, ready to fight against these little flowers.
Let's have a tentacle fight!
Little Blossom suddenly sped up and charged forward! The pompom's tentacles also attacked! The tentacles were like the mouths of worms, and they had sharp teeth. The tentacles only needed one bite to tear off a flower and swallow it. Then, they would move on to the other flowers. The battle only lasted for a while, and a large number of flowers were torn apart by the tentacles. They had no choice but to retreat underground.
Lin swallowed the flower that was bitten off and dissected it. She found that … this flower was not a flower, but a tentacle with petals of other plants attached to it. It was probably deliberately tearing off other flowers and sticking them to its tentacles as a disguise.
The tentacles also had structures similar to electric organs, but the effect was weaker. It seemed to be used to hunt smaller insects, and not to attack large creatures like the pompon …
There should be a creature hiding underground. Although the pompon was not suitable for digging, it could release a small troop to enter the ground.
The pompon extended its tentacles to the ground and released a worm-like troop to burrow into the ground, following the traces left behind by the retreating 'flowers' …
The worm-like troop soon reached an underground cave, which should be left behind by the creature. It seemed to be a creature about one meter tall, and it had now burrowed deeper into the ground.
The worm-like troop continued to follow the tunnel left behind by the creature. Lin felt that the rocky mountain was becoming more and more suspicious, so she planned to have a larger troop to dig up the mountain. Perhaps there were many stones that could attract lightning. That way, they could conduct more experiments.
The pompon continued to explore other places. Previously, it was looking for the flying creatures, but it did not know where they had flown off to … What was that?
The pompon suddenly saw the shadow of a creature in the wind and rain. It flapped its wide wings and was flying towards the rocky mountain.
Just like the creature Lin saw before, its mouth was round. Perhaps it was the flying creature she saw before?
This creature had a wingspan of more than ten meters, which was much larger than the ones before. Under the roaring thunder, it revealed black scales.
Scales? It seemed that it was indeed different from other pterosaurs. Pterosaurs did not have scales.
The creature flew over the pompon, and the pompon floated up from the crevice. It landed on the top of the rocky mountain, right next to the stone pillar that attracted lightning …
That seemed to be quite dangerous.
As soon as Lin thought so, a thunderous roar resounded in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck the stone pillar next to the creature. The entire world seemed to have become brighter at this moment.
The creature did not seem to be affected. It even spread its wings and roared at the sky, as if it was showing off its might to the lightning …
The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be 'angry'. A bolt of lightning struck again, but this time, it did not hit the stone pillar, but the creature's head.
'Boom!'
After a series of explosions, Lin could clearly see the creature's head emitting scorched smoke. It wobbled and twisted its body, then fell to the ground.
What a lunatic. But now, Lin could study it. The pompon slowly floated to the creature's body and began to examine its body structure. Although the sky was dark and she could not see clearly, Lin believed that this was not a pterosaur.
It was a creature similar to a flying dragon. Perhaps it should be called a … Viper?
Next, she observed its internal structure …
