Was this … what was called 'archaeology'? But how should she do it?
Lin had been thinking about this question for a long time. From the very beginning, Lin wanted to know what was going on with this continent. Why did the large arthropods go extinct so early on, giving the reptiles a chance?
In the beginning, Lin naturally believed that some earthquake caused this place to be isolated from the outside world. The huge rift valley that was ten kilometers wide was one of the evidence. But now … Lin had a new idea.
Perhaps something else caused this effect, such as … some kind of creature. It wasn't just the influence of the continent. Perhaps the rapid growth of intelligence of creatures like the Skeleton Dragon was also caused by them …
Of course, these creatures should have already gone extinct or left. Perhaps this was just Lin's guess. But no matter what, it was necessary to try to find the answer …
Perhaps she would need to go through the underground abyss to find the answer … The brain-creating monsters and the Atte tribe were actually clues, but how should she follow these clues?
If she had to dig, where should she start? There were too many places to dig, so she didn't know what to do.
Although, Lin had already dug out an abyss.
This was outside the rift valley of the continent. The surface was a complex jungle, and the underground was a crisscrossing network of tunnels. The inner walls of the tunnels were covered by a solid shell. Various types of soldiers wandered in the tunnels. Lin had specially created a hexagonal shape to resist pressure, and with the reinforcement of spider silk, this underground tunnel would never collapse.
Some of the tunnels on the top floor were close to the ground. Through special ventilation structures, these tunnels constantly changed the air in the underground network. This underground network could be said to be a living creature. It could breathe. It could absorb nutrients, and the underground passages were also controllable. The width and length of these passages were different, and there were also many 'gates' that could be opened and closed. After every passage, one would reach a room. Some of the rooms were used to store large amounts of nutrients, and these nutrients were compressed in soft bags. They could be extracted and used at any time.
Lin's nutrients mainly came from the surface. She planted a large number of green carpet trees, but didn't excessively occupy the space of other plants. She also occasionally hunted some surface creatures.
Because Lin's soldiers could maintain a very low energy consumption during non-combat periods, Lin's reserves of nutrients were constantly increasing. Lin planned to stop when it reached a certain peak.
Another type of room was the breeding room for the production of troops. They could produce a large number of troops in a short period of time and send them to the surface or other places through the pipeline system.
In addition to the above two types of rooms, there was a special one that was located deep underground. There was something else in this room, and a large number of nutrient tubes were connected to it. It provided nourishment and even had a special heart to transport fluids to it. It was called … the brain.
Generally speaking, the brain had many uses, but this one was specifically for … sleeping.
Under the sunless sky, a few transparent spherical 'creatures' floated in the air. Huge trees crawled on the ground, and monsters made of lava roared in the mountains. This was the world of dreams. There were no fixed rules here, but it was very interesting.
While exploring the velvet ball, Lin often entered the dream world to observe the changes here, but this time, she had another purpose.
Shua! The next moment, the whole sky darkened instantly. It was replaced with another color, or rather … a pattern.
This pattern clearly showed a large area of forests, wastelands, rifts, and other areas. Lin had been creating this thing called a 'map'. Every tree was recorded, and the location of the Skeleton Dragon and the White Skeleton Dragon's village would be updated at any time. Of course, it was also necessary to place an observer's eye at the location.
This was quite interesting. At first, the map was displayed on a monitor, but now, it could be displayed in a '3D' state in a dream. Lin had also added a special function to it. Even when Lin was asleep, the map would constantly be updated, so it was possible to see the updated state of the map in a dream.
Through this special map, Lin could also understand the changes in the outside world. Even if it was not a major event like an earthquake, Lin could still know. However, the observer's eye was not installed everywhere, so it could not know everything, but at least the things that Lin cared about would be 'reported' to her.
Lin also made a map of the Northern Continent. Comparing the Northern Continent and the Western Continent … Lin now preferred to call it the Dinosaur Continent. If one were to compare the two, one would find that the Dinosaur Continent was bigger than the Northern Continent. Lin had not finished exploring this place. The large area here was probably one of the reasons for the abundance of species here.
From the rift valley to the forests, wastelands, salt flats, Tucker's Jungle, and the farthest Crystal Jungle, these were all straight routes to the south. The river passed through the wastelands to the west. Apart from these places, there were many places that Lin had not been to. Lin was not in a hurry to explore at first, but now she felt that it was better to finish exploring as soon as possible.
While thinking, Lin suddenly saw movement on the map. The movement appeared in the south of the Dinosaur Continent. There were several large egg-shaped stones drawn there. That was the place where the Emerald Dragons lived. Lin also made many glowing green dots around it, indicating the number and community of the Emerald Dragons.
Lin saw that the dots were beginning to move southward in large numbers. This kind of large movement was quite rare, and in the direction they were moving towards, there was a large white dot.
… A white dot? What was that?
The white dot was the same as when Lin used her voice to detect things. It marked things that she had never seen as white … Why would the Emerald Dragons have something that she had never seen before? Lin remembered that she had already explored all the creatures in the vicinity, but it was not necessarily a creature that was marked as white. It was also possible for things that had never been seen before.
I have to go take a look! With that in mind, Lin immediately woke up. Through the Emerald Dragons' eye, Lin saw the scene on their side.
She saw a large number of Emerald Dragons gathered at the edge of the forest. Susumi and several other Emerald Dragons were flying in the sky while riding on their vipers. They seemed to be paying attention to something in the forest.
Lin's eye drifted over and saw that the white dot on the map was actually a … stone? No, it was no ordinary stone, it was …
Lin's eye moved closer and carefully observed the stone. It had obviously fallen from the sky. Its overall shape was irregular. It was six meters long and five meters wide. It created a large hole in the forest, and some of the trees around it were also broken.
The huge stone probably made a loud noise when it fell and attracted the attention of the Emerald Dragons.
Lin had seen this thing before. When Lin encountered a disaster at the bottom of the sea, many of these stones fell from the sky. But this time, there was only one stone …
Where did this thing come from? The stars in the sky? Speaking of which, it took a lot of speed to go from the ground to the sky, but what about going from the outside to the ground? Did it have to be that fast? This thing could not be predicted like an earthquake, so it was very troublesome.
No matter what, if they really fell from the sky like last time, Lin would crush them one by one.
At this moment, an emerald dragon riding a viper dragon had already flown above the stone. After looking down, it turned its head and shouted, "Leader! Stone! "
"Stone?" Then, Susumi flew over on her viper. She looked carefully in the air and said, "It seems that we are under attack! Gather the tribe and prepare for defense! "
"Caw!" The Emerald Dragon immediately turned around and flew away.
Enemy attack? Why would Susumi think that? This was interesting. Lin asked Lin's eye to follow Susumi and see what she was thinking.
In fact, Lin had indeed been teaching Susumi for the past ten years, but Lin almost never discussed with Susumi what it thought or how it viewed these things. Lin simply threw the knowledge to it, and how it thought was Susumi's own business.
Lin wanted to see how she would deal with the knowledge, and how she would use her own thoughts to think about it.
Just like now, Susumi thought that this stone was an enemy attack. Why would she think that?
Susumi was now gathered with all the tribes under the giant eggs. In fact, there was a leader under each egg. They also had their own viper mounts, but they were one level lower than the real leader. Still, they could manage the tribe.
This phenomenon of hierarchy had been around for a long time. Perhaps in the beginning, the Emerald Dragons were a scattered tribe. Later, for some reason, they gathered together and chose a leader who could lead the entire tribe.
Usually, when something big was to be done, the leader would discuss it with the other leaders.
A large number of Emerald Dragons gathered in the open space between several eggs. Susumi stood in the center of the tribe. Ever since Susumi became the leader, her prestige had increased. She taught the Emerald Dragons how to start a fire instead of keeping it alive. She taught them how to make bows and arrows and other new weapons. She also taught them how to make statues and many more words, most of which were about the brain worms. Her actions made the Emerald Dragons even more convinced that Susumi was Doluk! Only Doluk could give them so many new things … …
Although she didn't know why the Emerald Dragons thought this way, Susumi didn't seem to object.
Seeing that the surrounding leaders had gathered, Susumi said to them, "We are going to attack the south. There is a strange creature living there. That rock was their attack on us!"
