v3 Chapter 36: Burning flash forest

Chapter 36—The Burning Flash Forest

The sound outside... There was indeed something huge on the ground. On the green carpet outside, Lin could see that the hugely twisted trunk fell on the ground opposite the river.

On the trunk of the tree, there is also a layer of radiant brilliance. This brilliance exudes a very high temperature, and Lin can clearly feel it.

That is... ‘flame’... ‘burning’.

Lin remembered the boulder that had been seen from the sky in the past, and it was wrapped in a high temperature flame.

Is it another disaster?

"Water, move, Farr, death."

The brainworm repeats these words around Leviathan, and Lin can feel that his mood is in a state of great anxiety.

Leviathan walked in front of the hole, and Lin let the plastic door dissolve the sealed hole. Lin planned to let Leviathan go directly to investigate.

Outside the base, it seems to be another world. The sky is constantly echoing the violent thunder, and the endless raindrops are constantly lingering on everything in the field of vision, creating a never-ending noise.

The twisted trunk fell on an open space in the glittering woodland, not far from the river. It burned a high-temperature flame all over the body. Leviathan was slightly close to the heat wave.

What is the cause? How can such a huge tree be broken down?

Leviathan stepped closer to the burning trunk, and Lin released a small flying man with a powerful sensory organ that was close to the burning trunk and detected the temperature of the flame.

The feeling of this temperature... is very similar to lava, but the temperature is relatively different from that of lava. The temperature of the flame is beating, some areas are quite high, and some areas are lower.

But now, Lin is more concerned about the cause of its burning.

Looking up here, you can see that in a dense and complex twisted tree, one of the trunks breaks open, and the flame is burned in the section.

Lin remembers that the flames disappeared when the flaming stones of the flames fell into the water, but now in the case of such heavy rain, the flames seem to be weak.

'boom! ’

The sky suddenly flashed a bright light, and Lin clearly heard an explosion-like sound. I saw that the trees above suddenly ignited a fierce fire. The huge trunk broke under the cracking sound and fell down...

A large number of broken burning giants fell from the upper layers of the forest and lingered in the flashy woodlands. This forest once again illuminates the dazzling brilliance, but unlike the previous symbolizing the light of life, the high temperature of the flame only symbolizes death, countless Small creatures surrounded by flames are forced to drill out of the ground or in the trees, trying to escape to places without flames, or to be swallowed by flames without a path to escape.

Leviathan stood in the burning wood, and Lin calculated the position they had reached in advance, so there was no need to avoid it, but...what was that?

Seems to be lightning? Did lightning cause the burning of wood? However, there have been dozens of heavy rains before twisting the jungle, and almost all of them are accompanied by strong lightning and thunder. This time, the lightning is actually not very strong. Lin has seen it much stronger than this.

But those lightnings, no one can cause the twisting of the jungle to burn, the twisted jungle seems to be able to resist lightning, why did it burn this time?

"Water, moving, chapped wood, Farr, death."

Lin remembered the words of the brainworm... It seems to know what it looks like...

Although Lin has lived for a long time, there is not much understanding of the land. Many things happening on land are completely different from the sea, just like this flame.

The flame spreads over the trunk, seemingly trying to extend the heat of the heat to the entire jungle, while in the water, similar to the lava, but the lava can not spread in the water, they will quickly cool and solidify.

Now, the key to solving the problem is the word of the brain worm.

Right, the water, the moving, the cracked wood is to explain, after the water is removed, does the tree dry?

Thinking, Lin asked Leviathan to approach a recent twisted tree that was not affected by the flames. Lin just peeled off the bark of the tree with the tentacles and tore off a large bark.

Twisted trees have caused problems. The skin of these trees was originally quite hard. It was not easy to tear off at all, but now...

Lin found a lot of white silk under the torn bark.

This is... fungus? Is it all caused by fungi?

By the way, the fungus has destroyed the internal structure of the wood. This creature... can break down the wood...

Originally, this twisted jungle was not fungi at all, but since then, the moss has disappeared since the extinction of the worm, and then even affected these huge twisted trees.

Why are they so powerful? Can the immune cells that twist the tree actually beat it? It is incredible that the fungus can affect so many trees. In fact, even if it can affect one or two trees, it can't affect so much... The twisted trees should evolve corresponding resistance, they With such a huge body size and sufficient nutrients, if it is infected with a small creature, the fungus can spread and kill it quickly, but the huge twisted tree should have enough time to react and make immune cells, why can't it fight the fungus?

The fungus destroyed the internal structure of the twisted tree, making the trees unable to resist lightning, although Lynn did not know how they were originally resistant to lightning, but in any case, things have already happened.

Lin seems to suddenly understand something.

‘Compassion’, the mood that Lynn will appear when she extinct a species.

Lin began to feel that this mood was in the way, it would prevent its normal judgment and fighting. Lin thought that it was just telling herself about the enemy's situation.

But it seems that compassion is not so simple, it also shows the consequences of extermination of a species.

Was it like this? But now it seems that it is too late.

The giant wood breaks around, the sound of falling, the flames that pulsate on the wood exudes a burst of heat, and Liviathan is surrounded. Now, the sight of Leviathan is a burning scene.

In Lin’s thoughts, the word “repent” appeared, and this disaster seems to be caused by itself.

No, I won't regret it. Since it is caused by myself, then it is better to stop it.

The darkness of the original was not affected. It seemed that the fungus did not spread to the other side, because the cave of the Chibha worm was mainly located in the ground of the flash woodland, and the flame did not burn there.

Then there is still a chance...

Leviathan looked carefully at a piece of burning wood next to it. When only some of the larger raindrops fell on the flame of the wood, the flame that was dripped disappeared instantly, but quickly burned again.

Sure enough, water can make the flame disappear.

But the drops of raindrops are too scattered, and one drop is too small. Is this the reason why the flame cannot be eliminated? So what if there is a lot of water?

Leviathan splits the back of the carapace, a large amount of rainwater collects and is inhaled by Leviathan, which eventually gathers at the muzzle of its front section.

'boom! A huge water polo was shot from the muzzle. It directly hit a piece of burning wood in front of Leviathan. The flames hit by the water polo disappeared instantly, leaving only a smoky smoke.

It turns out that the fruit is effective.

Leviathan used the attack of the water cannon to blast a passage in the flame and returned to the base in this way.

Lin did not intend to extinguish the flame of the entire flash woodland. It was too much. Lin’s current arms could not be used to extinguish the fire like Leviathan. If you want to transform it, I don’t know how long it will take.

Crossing the river and returning to the base, Lin found that the brain worm was at the entrance to the base, and when it saw Lin, it gave an anxiety and a happy cry.

"Fal, dry wood, death, leader, alive, cave."

Lin now knows that 'Far' seems to refer to the flame. The meaning of the brainworm should be: "The flame burns on the cracked wood, which will cause death, but Leviathan's 'head' survives back to the cave. in.

It seems that it will be happy for Leviathan to survive.

Very interesting, what kind of weird thought is this? But Lin has to study other things first.

Those fungi.

Leviathan returned to a cave in the cave dedicated to decomposition and research and began research on fungi.

From the twisted trunk, Lin has gotten a lot of fungi. In the process of decomposition and research, although this creature produces toxins and has strong lethality, it is very simple for Lin to kill them.

However, it doesn't make sense for Lynn to kill them. Lin wants to make the twisted tree or moss have the ability to kill the fungus, because Lynn can't kill the fungus for every twisted tree or moss.

So, Lin wants to 'work' them. There are some mosses that have been collected from the outside. The fungus inside has been killed by Lin, but this moss does not have immune cells that beat the fungus.

Lynn must find a way to make it immune cells, just put a small amount of fungus into the moss, they are not harmful, but still allow the moss's immune system to react and eliminate it.

In this case, it may be possible to let the moss evolve and let the moss and other mosses multiply, then it will produce a new moss that is not afraid of fungi. When it is down, maybe the glittering woodland can grow moss again. After success. Lin can also experiment with twisted trees.

The big evolution is caused by countless small evolutionary heaps.

In addition, Lynn still has to study a special thing: the flame.

The flame is quite special. Lin believes that it is born of lightning, but it will continue to burn after the lightning disappears, and it will spread.

That is to say, although lightning provides it with the initial energy, it can continue to grow with wood as energy, which is very different from other substances.

Lin has a feeling that if she studies ‘flame, it seems to get a very special strength. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my greatest motivation.)
