Chapter 55—The Mystery of the Population

Leviathan left the brainworm and flew alone in the depths of the distant twisted jungle. Without the small creatures of this meatball, Lin produced a feeling called 'not used to it'.

Therefore, Leviathan flew back after that, leaving a display in the group of brainworms. Lin intends to maintain information exchange with brainworms, so Lin feels the discovery of new species, research on new environment, etc. It will help, because it can be discussed with the brainworm.

Lin also observed how the brain worms expanded. The brain worms have recently been commanding the expansion of the community. It seems to be planning to build more rock mountains nearby. It has captured a lot of prey with powerful technology, and the community has begun to grow rapidly.

The way the brain worms command the community is very strange. It uses a sharp sound or touches the infantry's tentacles. This behavior can be used to command the infantry.

Lin tried to break down an infantryman who died while hunting. Lin found that the infantry’s brain was quite strange. Their brains were quite small, completely out of proportion to the body, and the shape and cell distribution were strange, not so much. Brain, it’s better to say like a...

'receiver'.

Yes, infantry can't think about their own actions. They all rely on this brain-like organ to receive signals from brainworms, so if there is no brainworm, the infantry is not incapable of acting, but only some basic activities, such as eating. They will not hunt, in which case their communities will soon die.

The Queen may have something special, it will produce new brain worms without brainworms.

Lynn is very curious about how they evolved this form. This biological form is very strange. Isn't this a form of Aztec, Inca, etc?

Not necessarily, like the Chibha worm.

The brain worm will inherit the knowledge of the previous generation of brain worms, but the inheritance is not complete. It can only be some foundation. More knowledge needs to be learned by itself. It seems that to this generation, Muktu began to use the 'picture' method to inherit Newborn brain worms.

The lifespan of the brain worms is very long. When Lin asked the brain worms, they found that their cells did not seem to have the 'timed death' that the usual creatures had.

In addition, Lynn found that reptiles did not have 'timed death', and if they had the chance, their body size would grow indefinitely until they were killed by other creatures.

Timed death can also be said to be exhausted. It is actually a special method developed by cells to make the newborn offspring have a position and the population is not much. Now most organisms like to use this scheme, but the brainworm does not seem to It will be like this.

The brain worms produce one every 30 years, and the new brain worms will be separated by a part of the population. They rely on this growing. If a community's brain worms die, the nearby brain worms will merge with the community.

The rich vocabulary possessed by brain worms is not used to control infantry, but to communicate with other brain worms.

This is the lifestyle of the Maya Swarm.

However, what seems to have happened recently, the ethnic group of Maya insects is almost extinct, and the brain worms are almost dead, leaving only ‘Maya’ and ‘Mktu’.

The brain worm described the disaster they encountered. It is said to be a terrible event. The burning giant* washed the entire jungle, and countless ethnic groups destroyed it. The people of the brainworms fled to the position of the home tree and settled again. In the event of an earthquake, the brain worm was taken away by the worm.

Lin thinks that it may be a disaster that it has never seen before, and Leviathan is now flying in that direction.

Time has passed for a long time, and Lin does not know if he can see the traces of the disaster, but if it is a disaster that can destroy large areas, it must be spectacular.

Lin is not only studying biology, but also studying disasters, but disasters don't seem to be so easy to meet.

The twisting and spreading of the jungle seemed to be endless. Leviathan flew for three full days and nights in the endless forest. Lin finally saw the anomalies.

Leviathan flew slightly above the canopy, flying so low to observe the creatures in the jungle, but in this area, the extension of the jungle suddenly broke.

Leviathan flew over a special area, and the whole area was filled with a thick fog. This thick fog is not a collection of water vapor, but some strong other kinds of gases, some containing toxic components.

When Leviathan lowered the flying height, Lin found that the area was burned like a flame, with blackened ground and rocks everywhere, and a lot of burnt blackened twisted trunks.

In this place, there are still plants growing, and Lin found that plants that he had not seen emerged in these blackened rocks. They are like sharp green spikes, about 50 centimeters to a meter high. It is full of fluff, and the number of such plants is small, only occasionally seeing several trees growing on rocks.

There are some fast small limbs here, they are only ten centimeters long, move fast, and hide in the cracks of the rock. Lin thinks they are like trilobites, and they are estimated to feed on the plants here.

Leviathan slowly flies in this misty place, because the fog is diffused and the visibility is only about ten meters. It may be the original habitat of the brainworm community. Because the ground is full of twisted tree wreckage, it is received here. What disaster? Flame?

Lin believes that the flame is the kind of rock mountain that can't burn the brain worms.

Then yes...

Suddenly, Lin noticed a huge pit on the ground in front of it. The pit was filled with black muddy water. The water was rolling all the time, and a lot of bubbles popped up from it. Lin could feel the water. The heat is quite high.

And the phenomenon of their tumbling seems to have a word that can be described as ‘boiling’.

Leviathan stretched out his tentacles and gently touched the surface of the water. The sensation of the hot feeling on the top allowed Lin to take back the tentacles immediately. The temperature of the water is indeed quite high. There may be a lot of weird substances mixed in the water. After the bubbles shattered, Lin could smell that a lot of toxic gases were floating in the air.

Is the community of brainworms destroyed, and is it related to these waters?

but……

There is still a biological life here. The little limbs that Lin had seen before, like the trilobites, actually swam in this high temperature water. They didn't seem to suffer any harm, they were not afraid of high temperatures, and they were not afraid of poisonous gas.

It seems that you have to grab one to break it down.

However, what makes this environment? Even high-temperature water and poison gas will not burn the woods? Net many words

Suddenly, there was a breeze blowing around, and Lin found that the fog here began to spread slowly.

As the horizon became wider, Lynn saw a landscape that she had never seen before. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest power.)
