Following the surging clouds, the wind and snow howled as it swept across the land of the Northern Continent. Sand and dust were blown into the air by the storm, causing the entire world to be shrouded in darkness.
The skeletal dragons and emerald dragons gathered in the canyon. Through the transparent shell above them, they could see the howling wind outside. Although they were not affected by the storm here, they could not help but feel fear.
In the face of a storm, the surrounding creatures would always appear insignificant and powerless. But for Lin, she would observe the storm with great interest. That was because there were some strange things mixed within the storm. They fell on the shell covering the canyon and kept making noises until … the storm ended.
When the sun shone over the land again, the skeletal dragons and emerald dragons had left the canyon. Lin continued the renovation project of the canyon. At the same time, she had some of the pompom troops clean up the shell above the canyon.
The transparent shell was now piled up with … corpses.
These were all left behind by the previous storm. Lin remembered that she had seen a similar situation before, where the storm would sweep a large number of corpses over. In fact, Lin had also seen 'fish' situations, where various creatures could be swept into the air and thrown down from the storm.
But this time, the creatures were a little strange. Because these corpses were … one of the headworm's troops, the mantis-shaped arthropod-type 'foot soldiers'.
They had been smashed to pieces on the canyon's shell, but it was still possible to see what they were.
There were no other troops here. Perhaps they were too heavy to be swept up, or perhaps there were other reasons.
Lin had the pompom troops devour the corpses and decompose them. Although they were badly damaged. Lin found that there was a certain element in their cells. This element would make these foot soldiers very excited.
It was as if … they had been through a battle before. This seemed to give her a new clue.
Lin had yet to tell the headworm about this. It was still in the process of building its rocky mountain. Lin planned to investigate the direction of the storm.
The storm came from the southern sea of the Northern Continent. Generally speaking, creatures that were swept up would not stay in the storm for too long, so the location of the incident should be very close.
With that in mind, Lin had the headworms and a large number of pompom troops spread out in the air to search for the target location.
Along the way. Lin found some islands on the sea. These islands had been swept by the storm, but there were no special traces. After Lin's troops had traveled for thousands of kilometers, Lin felt a little … disappointed.
During the search, there was nothing but clouds and sea. Lin even went to the bottom of the sea to search, but Moketu seemed to have disappeared. Even if his troops were swept over by the storm, they could not find any trace of him. Lin had been searching along the storm's path, but she still found nothing.
Lin Is giving up?
I'll leave the troops here to search first.. ... maybe they might find something.
After Moketu's lead was cut off once again, Lin continued with the construction. As the days and nights slowly passed, the weather began to get colder and colder. The Northern Continent was repeatedly attacked by snowstorms. The originally living Twisted Trees began to die one after another. Furthermore, the water by the sea had frozen. The creatures here had almost completely disappeared. Only a small number of small arthropods and reptiles were still alive.
Lin had preserved some of the creatures that were about to go extinct here, including the Fog Worm. They would also stay in the canyon together.
Lin estimated that 90% of the creatures on this continent had already disappeared, and the number would continue to increase as the temperature became colder. This cold was not beneficial to life at all.
The sun had also become less dazzling, but Lin was the only one who could see it.
It was not just the Northern Continent. Lin found that many places on the sea had begun to freeze. The warm current that once maintained the temperature had also become cold. The creatures that relied on the warm current to live began to die in large numbers, especially the corals that relied on temperature. Many corals that were rich in life became lifeless in an instant. Frozen corpses and wreckage floated everywhere. It felt like a graveyard...
Lin also found some marine creatures. She planned to put them in the bottom water of the canyon to live with the ancient squids.
However, corpses were not the only things Lin saw among the dead corals. If she used her Chromatic Vision, she would be able to see some wonderful scenes in this special underwater place.
'Scenes' was indeed a good description, because what Lin saw were all kinds of flickering lights. However, it was difficult to make any progress in the study of these lights...
. After a hundred days and nights, the cold had attacked every place Lin knew. On the dinosaur continent, the creatures that were still alive almost no longer moved on the surface. Everyone was thinking of ways to dig underground to live. In this regard, the gnomes seemed to be doing a good job.
As for the skeletal dragons, they never thought of digging underground. More than 50% of their dragon mouths had died in the extreme cold. The remaining ones gathered in the larger houses or castles. They were still in the same form as before, forming various small groups to compete with each other for positions and leftover food in the castles.
At this time, they found that their shells were no longer important. The most important thing was food. Therefore, only the strong skeletal dragons that were good at fighting could occupy the largest territory.
It felt like they had returned to the time before they developed. The 'nobles' in the castles were mostly killed by the brainwaves of the brain-creating monsters. Now that the castles had completely become the territory of these commoners, they were making a final struggle for their lives.
The Jing Kuang was also not on the continent. It and the last soldiers rode on the aerial jellyfish and disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
The skeletal dragons could be said to be heading towards extinction. Apart from the few that were selected, Lin felt that the rest would not live for more than … a year.
Then, a year passed quickly...
Lin once again predicted that a storm would hit the Northern Continent. Although this time, there were no corpses mixed in, it was much more violent than the previous ones.
However, the creatures on the continent could 'enjoy' the storm in a place as warm as summer.
"Caw … This is where we live?" The skeletal dragons and emerald dragons were always surprised by things. This time, it was because they saw … a scene from the past.
In front of them was a green land covered with all kinds of plants. Small dinosaurs shuttled back and forth between the plants. Pterosaurs landed on taller trees and let out loud howls.
There were many moss-covered stones on the ground, which could be used for construction or other purposes.
This place had been reborn and became the former … Underground World.
This was the emerald dragon's territory. It was more than a hundred kilometers long and ten kilometers wide. It was more than a hundred meters from the bottom to the top. Sunlight shone in through the transparent shell above, allowing the plants to grow healthily.
The soil on the ground was created by Lin using the various nutrients contained in the ground, it should be thick enough to form a cycle. Once the plants here grew and died, new soil would be piled up and continue to nourish new plants without Lin's constant supply of nutrients.
The number of creatures here still needed to be confirmed. If the emerald dragons and all the other creatures could rely on planting and hunting for food, then the only thing Lin had to do was to clear the snow and dust on the shell above.
And … provide warmth.
The warmth here was provided by the 'carpet' under the soil. However, the insulation here was very good, so the consumption was not too high. Although some of the warmth came from the ground, most of it was from the 'carpet' itself.
On the other side, very far away from here was the skeletal dragons' residence.
The skeletal dragons' residence was almost the same as the emerald dragons'. The ground was covered in a large number of small plants, but there were no large plants. The skeletal dragons had to plant dragon perches to fill the space here …
Other than the small dinosaurs and Mao Yu, there was also a type of large tree that could walk on its feet. These plants called Cashew Trees didn't have brains, but their bodies were made up of many ganglion structures. When these ganglion structures were connected together to transmit information, the Cashew Trees would gain considerable intelligence. Lin noticed that they were able to understand a lot of things. Living together with the Humerus Dragon, these creatures might develop a unique state. She couldn't help but admit that the creator had created an interesting creature.
Lin felt that instead of jade, the creator should have chosen these trees as the worshippers of the next generation. It would be more representative of himself …
The width of the environment here was the same, but it was extended to more than three hundred kilometers. It was enough to accommodate so many skeletal dragons and dwarves. Moreover, this was the upper layer. If they dug up some of the soil, the skeletal dragons might find a way to the lower layer.
It was a dark but not cold place. It was a world formed by glowing underwater creatures and ancient squids. The skeletal dragons could go on interesting and wonderful adventures there, but they had to remember the way back, or they could easily drown in there.
At the center of the rift, Lin used the widest area to build an area for the large dinosaurs. They could still hunt and reproduce here, just like on the old continent …
However, Lin did not occupy the entire canyon, so there were still ice blocks between the skeletal dragons, the large dinosaurs and the emerald dragons. She would open up these areas depending on the situation in the future. However, Lin had built a 'tunnel', so the three areas could pass through each other. Lin had specially checked to prevent the skeletal dragons and emerald dragons from approaching each other's areas.
That being said, they might encounter each other in the central area, but that was the most dangerous area. There would not be much free time for them to communicate.
Everything was finally done. What should she do next? Floating astronomy.
