252 252 The Wandering Plague (1/2)

”The fragile brain, the life that is about to end, read the memory, extract the essence.”

The lizard that is almost dying is in front of the head worm. This precious brain can provide precious information. It will show all doubts ... In fact, it does not matter if it has just died, but it is better to be alive.

Generally, the memory displayed by species with small brain capacity does not seem to be clear, but still can know a lot of information.

There used to be many creatures on this island, but it didn't last long. Among them, there was a habit that lasted a long time, that is, to reach the body of a huge creature ”swimmer”.

Swimmers usually go back and forth between several islands, there are also some larger islands, creatures rely on the back of the swimmers to travel to other areas.

So far, it is the same as Lin thought, but the island already has all the resources they need to live, so why take a swimmer to leave?

In addition, the swimmer seems to be more than one, and there are some other swimmers who have been here, and Lin saw this only died for unknown reasons, so the creatures riding it were trapped on it, and finally died. Too.

The cause of the swimmer ’s death is difficult to find. Lin did n’t find any traces of wounds in her body. The cells seem to stop working slowly. Perhaps the lifespan is up. Such giant creatures usually live very long.There is no such thing as life span.

It can only be said that the fate of the creature riding on it is not so good ...

The reason why they escape to the swimmers is to avoid some kind of 'something'.

The headworm said that that kind of thing left an extremely deep fear in the lizard's memory, it would sweep all the creatures on the island, and nothing would stay ...

The headworm said that it did not find out how these lizards knew that this kind of ”stuff” would come to the island. Lynn speculated that it might come regularly. When they came, some creatures escaped by the swimmers, and then they came back after nothing happened. Breed so that their offspring remember to avoid it.

The lizard's memory of 'it' seems to be very vague. The lizard hasn't seen it directly, but the headworm found that this memory area contains a strong sense of fear.

Therefore, the head worms call it ”the wandering plague”.

It seems that after talking with Lin for a long time, the head worm will start to like the name like Lin ...

The plague usually refers to some very powerful germs or viruses, which can quickly kill organisms, and occasionally can become a terrible disaster than storms or earthquakes, but such things have a great weakness, that is, they cannot To deal with a rich environment of species.

If an environmental species is relatively simple, it will be quickly destroyed by the plague, but if the species is rich, the plague will be quite fragile. It is impossible for them to infect a variety of different creatures. If the place is like a twisted jungle, there is nothing Plagued.

So Lin thinks this 'thing' is not as simple as the plague, but the name is good, so it's so good.

So to speak, the ”Skull Island” that Lin encountered before is very empty. It seems that it is not because of the dense fog, but because it has been attacked by the ”Wandering Plague”?

Indeed, this possibility is very high, so that the creatures placed there may also be dangerous.

However, if the ”plague” is a creature, it will not repeatedly attack the places it has visited, but should look for areas rich in species, like here.

There are not many memories of headworms, which only shows that the creatures on this island will use swimmers to avoid some dangers, but the details are not clear.

However, Lin can infer what happened to the sound lizard who was knocking on the stone on the island ...

The islands that Lin encountered along the way are quite barren and empty, but some islands will have traces of living creatures, and each island has some 'echo eggs'.

Maybe the echo eggs are a kind of record. The wandering plague will use the eggs to record the islands that have been attacked by them. When the sound of the eggs stops, that is, when the nutrients are exhausted, they will go back to attack the island again.

So the lizard used to knock the stones to mimic the sound of eggs, so that the wandering plague could bypass the island?

It is indeed possible ... Although I do n’t know how the lizard learns the relationship between the egg and the plague, the head worm found that the sound lizard ’s brain is particularly large, almost catching up with the ancient squid, and this is just Lin ’s guess, maybe there is a deeper relationship maybe.

However, what attacks may be suffered here are certain.

It ’s not an earthquake or a lava eruption. Those Lin can perceive that only biological attacks are unpredictable, and the course of action about this drifting plague is also very strange. If they attacked all the way along Lin ’s route, they should have arrived early. The island was gone, but they didn't show up, and Lynn didn't encounter them on the way.
