The moon, the ocean, the sky, the land, all the islands …
The Leviathan had explored almost every area. The Leviathan was now in a deep sea area. This was the last area that Lin had explored.
The other areas, no matter where they were, whether it was the surface of the sea or the bottom of the sea, were all shrouded in a hazy layer of dust. In the sea, apart from a few fungi and some small creatures, Lin could not find any traces of other creatures.
As for the newly awakened bone eels, there were about a dozen of them. They were no longer suitable to live here.
The Startumbler was filled with despair. However, this place was the only place with hope.
Lin called this place the 'protected area'.
This was a miraculous area. When the environment changed, this area was not affected at all because it was protected. Moreover … this was the work of a creature.
The Leviathan was not in this area. Instead, it was at the edge of the area. The Leviathan reached out with its tentacles and could feel a layer of soft structure in front of it. Even with force, it could not reach its tentacles in.
This was the 'protective layer' of this area. Generally speaking, it was like a layer of gelatinous substance. It separated this area from the sea outside. The Leviathan was too big. If it went in, it would damage this' protective layer '.
However, Lin's miniaturized soldiers could enter this layer through the needles at the ends of their tentacles. They could observe and study the things inside.
This' protective layer 'was about 10 metres thick. A large number of creatures were inside it. A creature that Lin called' glue clams'. These creatures looked like shrimp larvae. Only about one millimetre. They would cooperate to create their own 'buildings', a very elastic and soft substance.
They would constantly shape these substances to form a huge protective layer. Lin believed that this was the case back then. After the sea was filled with dust, when harmful substances drifted over, they would secrete these substances and pile them up higher and higher. In the end, a huge hemispherical shape was built on the seabed of the deep sea.
The Leviathan was flying over this hemispherical shape. The surrounding area was turbid water. However, the dust here was completely separated by the protective layer. Not a single speck of dust could enter.
The hemispherical protective layer was about 10 kilometres long. Unlike the turbid sea where the Leviathan was, the miniaturized soldiers inside could see a clear world without any toxic substances.
Inside, there were also a lot of creatures.
Under the protective layer, Lin could see a group of what looked like rocks. They were of different shapes and sizes and looked like ordinary stones. However, they would swim in schools like fish.
In fact, they were related to the Gravel Monsters. There were many holes in these stones that were filled with air. At the same time, there was a group of miniature creatures living in them. They controlled the air inside to control the floating and sinking of the stones. They could also cooperate with the way of spraying water to swim.
In fact, it was not much different from a boat. The microscopic creatures inside were attached to the stones and controlled the stone boat to move.
On the inner wall of the protective layer, there were large white creatures. They stared at the approaching 'stone ships' and were ready to capture them at any time.
At the bottom of the seabed, there were plant-like creatures everywhere. However, they had no leaves and were pure black in color. Some small creatures shuttled back and forth inside. They were very careful not to touch the black 'plants'.
Lin felt that this environment was very strange. There were almost no creatures similar to those on pompoms. There were no sponges, sea anemones, starfish and other primitive species. They were in a completely different form. They had no skeleton, no eyes, no blood vessels, and no heart, but they could live here perfectly.
It was not clear how the clams that made the protective layer cooperated to build such a huge shape. However, they did cooperate with each other. Sometimes, they would crawl outside and collect gas from the outside and discharge it inside. They would also repair the damage of the protective layer. They would not stay outside for too long, otherwise they would be poisoned to death.
The creatures inside relied on them to survive, and the clams almost all relied on the waste and corpses produced by the creatures here to survive. It was a perfect symbiotic relationship.
Looking at these creatures, Lin began to feel a little strange. The bone eel did not look like a creature here. It looked more like a pompous ball. It had a heart, a brain, and blood vessels. Although its bones were sealed, it still had a skeleton.
In fact, it was very different from the radishes on land. Lin thought that the sea creatures would be different, but looking at it, there were no creatures similar to the bone eel.
Maybe there were no such creatures in the protective layer when it was built? There might be many types of creatures here, just like the strange species like the atmospheric slime that Lin recently came across.
But there might be other reasons. After all, the moon itself was not that big.
Lin also planned to build a base to observe the creatures here in the protective layer. However, Lin thought that there should be more than that. She should think of a way to slowly expand the protective layer.
Although this seemed to be more difficult than cleaning the dust, it was more interesting than dealing with the dust.
Lin did not want to increase the protective layer by herself. Instead, she wanted the clams to make a bigger protective layer.
She just needed to have a deeper understanding of their habits.
Besides, there was nothing else to do on the moon.
Just like that, Leviathan's journey on the moon was almost over. This was a tragic world full of disasters, but there was still hope to live here.
Now, what Lin wanted to do was to expand that hope.
After Lin found a way to stimulate the clams to continue to increase the protective layer, she immediately started to act. As long as the protective layer was bigger, the creatures inside would also increase.
However, creatures like the bone eel could not be let in for the time being. Lin felt that it would destroy the environment inside.
While Lin was doing these things, the time was almost here … …
The moon's departure.
The moon had stayed in the Northern Continent for days and nights, and it had almost been one insect year, which was 1060 days.
After that, the moon would set off again, but where it would go, perhaps only the creatures on the moon knew.
