This … was very strange indeed.
The earthquake had slowly calmed down, and Lin's underground base had not encountered any problems. Both the parts close to the epicenter and the parts far away from the epicenter were unscathed, the base had perfectly withstood the earthquake.
If it weren't for this problem, it would have been perfect.
In the room where the brain was located, on the wall right above the brain, a small crack had appeared. This wasn't caused by the earthquake, but rather by the dissolving fluid.
Although part of the shell of Lin's base was very resistant to pressure, it didn't have any structure to resist the dissolving fluid, only the normal resistance to the corrosive substances in the soil. It was obvious that something here had deliberately dissolved part of the shell, causing it to crack open.
Furthermore, after dissecting the dissolving fluid, Lin found that it contained a composition that she had never seen before. The underground creatures in this area wouldn't secrete this dissolving fluid.
A new creature must have caused this. Why would it come here during the earthquake and dissolve the shell of the brain?
Lin had come up with quite a few answers. Generally speaking, before an earthquake, all creatures, including some underground worms, would try to escape instead of staying here. Furthermore, this creature didn't appear to be immobile. Lin used a few small units to drill through the cracks in the shell to find the traces left behind by this creature.
It was probably a small beetle-shaped creature with a body length of about 30 centimeters. Lin was currently using the Mud Borers to follow the traces left behind by it.
This creature was clearly able to slowly move through the ground even during an earthquake, so it must be a very strange creature. Lin had been recording all the creatures in this area for the past few years. She had even recorded the types of bacteria in the soil. But she hadn't found anything similar. Furthermore, the fact that it secreted a large amount of dissolving fluid to dissolve the brain was a bit hard to understand.
The main reason was that it was meaningless. There wasn't any food inside, and it would take a lot of energy to secrete that much dissolving fluid to melt through the thick shell of the base. Furthermore, it didn't need to purposely appear during an earthquake.
Clearly, this creature had done it on purpose, and it wasn't just a coincidence. The biggest mystery was, why did it run away after melting through the shell instead of coming in?
What was the reason for this? Perhaps finding this creature would solve this problem.
The Mud Borers were still following its tracks. The creature had a strange smell, similar to the dissolving fluid it secreted, and this smell allowed Lin to keep track of it.
This thing seemed to be running very fast. It hadn't been long since they discovered the Dissolution Penetration and Lin dispatched her troops to search for it, and Lin's Mud Driller was also very fast. However, they had been tracking its scent in the mud for almost a thousand seconds now, and they still hadn't found it.
Wait a minute … I got it …
The Mud Driller suddenly discovered something strange in front of it. It was a very small yellow spherical object that emitted the smell of dissolving liquid. The Mud Driller quickly swallowed it.
Lin discovered that it was a secretory gland. It was specially used to secrete dissolving liquid.
Strange, why would the secretory gland be here? Could it be that the creature had separated its secretory glands from its body and left them here?
This is really strange … Does it know that Lin is tracking it? So he purposely left the gland there to escape? This feeling is not very possible, right? How can it know that Lin is tracking?
However, even if it left the gland, its body still has the smell, Lin can continue to track it … It can't escape.
While Lin's Mud Driller continued to move forward, Lin was also slowly recovering from the earthquake. Although there were usually aftershocks after an earthquake, Lin knew that these aftershocks were very small, so she didn't have to worry too much about them.
Looking down from the sky, it could be seen that many trees in the jungle had been shaken to their sides. In fact, falling things were the main cause of death for creatures. The ground was only shaking, and if there were no cracks, it wouldn't cause much damage.
Some of the trees didn't collapse, and many of them had strong earthquake resistance. Some of the dinosaurs that had crossed the bridge had now begun to walk back.
The main reason was that many trees had collapsed during the earthquake, and many dinosaurs could take advantage of this opportunity to eat leaves and fruits that they couldn't eat before. After the earthquake, creatures quickly flourished again.
Lin lowered all the green carpet trees back to the ground and continued to use them as before. At the same time, she also checked the loosening of the soil underground and so on.
Lin discovered that there were many reasons for an earthquake. Although she could predict it every time, due to different reasons, the predicted time was also different. Most of the time, it was due to the collapse of the underground rock stratum, and sometimes there would be a sudden earthquake.
Therefore, it was necessary to be fully prepared. If the earthquake happened in Emerald Dragon City, they would be in trouble. The houses built by the Emerald Dragons were not very earthquake-resistant, probably because they had not experienced many earthquakes in their city before … …
Found it!
While Lin was dealing with these post-earthquake problems, the Mud Driller finally found the target – the creature that secreted the liquid.
This thing looked like a beetle, and its body was about 30 centimeters long as Lin predicted, but it was not a real beetle.
In fact, Lin didn't know what kind of creature it was. It had a streamlined carapace that covered its whole body like a beetle, but it didn't have the joints of a beetle. Almost its entire body was sealed, and there were small holes on both sides of the carapace for small limbs to extend for movement. There was no mouth on its head, but there was a hole on its tail that could be opened and closed. It probably relied on this hole to release the liquid, and it also used this hole to eat and excrete …
Eating and excreting in the same place … Only a relatively primitive creature would have this kind of situation, but this thing had a relatively advanced organ.
When Lin found this creature, it was already dead. There were scars on its body, which seemed to be caused by forcing the gland out of its body. In fact, the gland was also its gastric juice, so it would die sooner or later …
What kind of creature was this? I've never seen it before, so why did it appear during the earthquake? And it went to the room where the brain was dissolved …
Lin thought of a possibility. Perhaps this creature was attracted to the brain?
Lin's Brain of Dreams was very large, about 50 centimeters in diameter. When it moved, it would release brainwaves like other creatures.
Because it was bigger, the brainwaves it released were stronger. Lin wondered if this creature was attracted to the brainwaves. It had a sensory organ in its body that was very suitable for receiving such signals.
Lin wanted to see if she could attract another similar creature, so she created a few special troops to release more brainwaves. At the same time, she created more Mud Diggers to patrol the ground nearby to see if she could find another one.
Lin had many ideas about this creature, but she couldn't tell what it was yet. Was it a soldier of a different species? Or was it just an ordinary wild creature …
Only the group that discovered it would know …
Next, she just had to wait. It wasn't easy to find something in the mud, so attracting it was a more effective method.
While waiting, Lin could continue to look for information about the Emerald Dragons …
Mukla and Fei Mao's group had already set off. The two of them were riding on their vipers, while the other two hundred Emerald Dragon Guards were walking.
When they walked out of the city, many Emerald Dragons were watching. They were also whispering to each other about Susumi. Although Susumi's departure wasn't to be spread, for some reason, the Emerald Dragons in the ordinary layer still knew about it. Now, many Emerald Dragons were whispering about it. Some believed that Susumi had obtained Doluk's egg, while others guessed that she had encountered some problems …
Seeing the situation here, Mukla was determined to find Susumi and bring her back.
Fei Mao, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something …
After the Emerald Dragons left, Lin's spies stayed in the city to observe the changes. Lin noticed that the Emerald Dragons, who were nobles in the meeting, were already preparing. They started to decorate themselves more 'luxuriously' and started to rope in some of the Emerald Dragons who supported them …
It seemed that many Emerald Dragons were certain that Susumi was dead and were planning to fight for the throne. However, the Emerald Dragons all had the same status and did the same things. It was really difficult to choose one of them.
They usually either slept in their houses or thought of ways to decorate things to compete with the other Emerald Dragons. Although they didn't have to worry about food and drink, their lives were really boring.
Only a few Emerald Dragons had other hobbies, such as art and inventions. However, these Emerald Dragons weren't good at fighting, so they couldn't fight for the throne.
In fact, the Emerald Dragons didn't have many battle commanders. Other than Mukla and Fei Mao, there was only one other Emerald Dragon. However, Mukla was also a Emerald Dragon who supported Susumi. He also believed that Susumi was still alive and had no intention of taking the throne.
Just like that, time slowly passed. The Emerald Dragons didn't do anything special, while the ordinary people were still busy. Although the rumors about Susumi were spreading like wildfire, nothing special happened in the city.
After confirming that nothing special would happen in the city, Lin felt that it was necessary to follow the search team and take a look. She wondered if they could find Susumi. Floating astronomy.
