The void was so vast, like a pitch-black ocean … … there was no end to it.
Looking at the endless darkness before her, it reminded Rin of her time in the ocean. No matter how far she swam, everything was hazy … …
However, darkness was not the only thing here.
There was also extreme cold, and … … stones.
The Leviathan suddenly activated the jet on its side to dodge a huge stone in front of it.
They were now very close to the meteorite area. It had been more than 30 days since the Leviathan left the moon. The observer on the Leviathan's head had been pointing out the direction for it … …
However, Rin preferred to observe her surroundings. The scenery here felt like a dream. Beyond the darkness, there were wonderful lights flashing everywhere. There were even clouds of light in the distance. They looked like luminous creatures gathered together, or like clouds lit up by lightning. The scenery here was very attractive to Rin.
In order to observe these wonderful things, Rin had specially made many kinds of eyes. Unfortunately, they were all quite far away from the Leviathan. If the Leviathan wanted to fly to those places, it would probably take several million years to reach them.
That was too far away … … and she did not know how to replenish it halfway.
Now, the high-energy fuel that the Leviathan was using from the moon was better than Rin had imagined. It would not be a problem for it to go back and forth. That was if the moon had not left and the Leviathan was still alive … …
… … Again.
A small stone appeared before Leviathan's eyes. Unlike before, this stone didn't move. Instead, it floated quietly in the void.
Rin was curious as to why some of them could move while others could not. They were clearly about the same size. However, Rin would try to study this kind of stone that was not dangerous.
The Leviathan's jet was not spraying fuel. After leaving the moon's gravity, it could fly for a long time with just a little spray. This greatly reduced the energy consumption. Rin felt that if she could effectively use the gravity of the other rollers, she might be able to fly forever.
However, there was no point in flying forever. She had to observe the surrounding objects. She had to consume fuel to stop flying.
When the Leviathan got close to the stone, it sprayed fuel from the jet under its head to stabilize the Leviathan's body. Then, it sprayed fuel slightly to close the distance between it and the meteorite … …
Because the slightest spray would cause the Leviathan to move, it needed to be sprayed several times to adjust its body before it could approach the stone.
Therefore, Lin also added jets all over the Leviathan's body. The Leviathan could move in many directions. Not only could it adjust its position and posture, it could also dodge meteorites.
Most of Lin's knowledge of the void came from the fragments floating in the void, which were currently in a dormant state. I wonder if he's dead or not.
The Leviathan approached the floating stone, which had an irregular shape. The Leviathan was more than 20 meters in size. Two tentacles extended from its head. The outer skin of these two tentacles was protected, and at the end was a mouth full of sharp teeth, which could be used to collect ingredients from rocks.
The tentacles slowly scraped off a lot of dust from the rock. After scraping off the rock debris, Leviathan closed the tentacles and sent the debris into its body. There were many strange things in the void, so it was necessary to be completely protected.
At the same time, Lin would also release a few smaller units. These units didn't have any protection, so their skin would be directly exposed to the void, and their reactions would be studied.
This feeling … was very strange …
Some of the units underwent changes in their bodies. Lin felt that some of the structures in the cells were damaged, and the water inside began to flow away, causing the cells to operate abnormally, sometimes making it difficult for the cells to divide.
This didn't immediately kill the cells, and it felt weaker than the poison. However, this damage came from many different sources. The damage to the cells was different, so it was difficult to determine the source of the damage.
At the same time, after the debris swallowed by the Leviathan was broken down in its body, Lin found that these were all impurities. There was no part that could be broken down, but Lin would try to synthesize some of the impurities with the current materials to see if she could create a more effective shell substance or fuel.
Perhaps she shouldn't stop at every rock, it felt like a waste of fuel.
After Leviathan finished investigating this stone, it adjusted its direction and flew forward again.
This time, it flew directly into the group of meteorites. Lin had already set her target on a white meteorite. Lin believed that there might be ice there.
Although it was unlikely that the meteorites would melt into water in this extremely cold environment, it would still take some time to get there. At this time, Lin continued to admire the surrounding scenery, and also observed the 'scenery' of the pompoms.
At the same time, on top of the pompoms.
"Food! We've found food! "
This was a land covered in ice and snow. A group of green figures wearing leather stood on top of the ice. They were all gathered together and dug a big hole in the ground.
The hole was more than two meters deep. There was a thin layer of ice in the hole, and there were a lot of bubbles under the ice. Some green plants grew in the bubbles.
"Gah!" This discovery made all the Emerald Dragons cheer because they had used up all their food. Under such circumstances, it was not easy for them to dig this hole.
Now, they had finally succeeded.
Lin realized that this should be the most successful expedition team. They had left the canyon when the Leviathan was created. It had been more than a year since then, and they were still alive!
Although there were hundreds of them when they first came out, only ten were left now. However, these ten could be said to be the best of the best. They had always been in good health.
They also recognized the plants in the water. They were one of the Emerald Dragons' own plants, called Macroalgae. A while ago, Lin had brought them to the bottom of some glacial lakes in the forest to cultivate a type of Macroalgae that was resistant to cold.
In the Northern Continent, many lakes did not freeze. Some were because of the water, and some were because the ground was warmer.
Because there was no sunlight in the water, they basically absorbed the remains of some creatures in the water as nutrients. The Emerald Dragons did not think about why they grew here. These Emerald Dragons quickly broke the ice and used things like wooden sticks to scoop up the algae in the water.
These excited Emerald Dragons quickly piled up wood and started a fire. They carried something called a boiler with them that could be used to cook food. These 'boilers' were basically made of a kind of crystal with good thermal conductivity.
Crystals were rare in the canyon. Only the noble Emerald Dragons had them. These Emerald Dragons were also rare noble people who loved to adventure.
The Emerald Dragons usually ate raw food directly, but now they completely ate cooked food. They put a pile of algae in the boiler, then put a lot of snow in, and lit a fire below to cook.
The snow melted in the boiler. As the temperature rose, it slowly began to boil …
After the algae were cooked, their stems would emit a very fragrant smell. This smell slowly drifted in the cold air and spread into the distance …
"Now we can eat." After looking at the situation in the boiler, an Emerald Dragon was about to reach out its hand, but its hand stopped in mid-air.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking behind me? " An Emerald Dragon sitting opposite it was puzzled. The moment it turned its head, its expression became frightened.
There was a large group of furry creatures behind it.
Originally, the Emerald Dragons would be very happy to see this group of creatures and catch them to eat because Mao Yu rarely showed herself. But now, the Emerald Dragons were terrified.
Because there were hundreds of these creatures. They appeared from the snow and completely surrounded the group of Emerald Dragons with their furry and snow-white bodies.
Their bodies were huge, about 30 centimeters long. Their entire bodies were covered in a large amount of fur. Even their limbs could not be seen. However, one could see that their eyes, which were hidden under the fur, were shining with a scarlet light. The pair of large teeth in their mouths were extremely sharp. They could cut through frozen tree trunks and tear apart the Emerald Dragon's flesh.
"Gululu …" The Mao Yu made soft sounds to communicate with each other. When so many Mao Yu cried out together, the sound shocked the auditory nerves of every Emerald Dragon …
"Let's run, quick …" An Emerald Dragon was turning around, but it realized that there were also Mao Yu behind them. They were surrounded by a large number of Mao Yu …
"Hide behind the fire. As long as there's fire, it'll be fine!" A smart emerald dragon said and threw some firewood into the fire. The fire burned the branches and made crackling sounds, which made Mao Yu step back a little.
However, some of the Mao Yu didn't retreat. They walked further ahead and turned around.
"Caw?" The Emerald Dragons were puzzled by the Mao Yu's actions. At this moment, the Mao Yu's legs under the fur moved extremely quickly. They kicked a large amount of snow into the air and scattered it on the fire. The burning flames slowly became much smaller …
"Caw!" An Emerald Dragon sensed that something was wrong. It immediately rushed forward and reached out to grab a Mao Yu that was kicking snow.
"Gulu!" Almost at the same time, a scream was heard. All the Mao Yu in the surroundings rushed forward!
"Caw —"
The Emerald Dragon's scream echoed in the snowfield …
Not long after, the ten Emerald Dragons' corpses turned into skeletons on the snowfield. The boiler that they used to cook plants fell to the ground and was slowly buried by the snow.
The Mao Yu did not return to their nest. Instead, they gathered in the direction of the canyon. They were anticipating … the appearance of the next group of targets …
