261 Chapter 261 The Great Rift Valley (1/2)

During the next few days and nights, Lin summoned many troops from the base on the coast and asked them to start investigating these lairs. From her research, Lin discovered a lot of information.

Lin was able to confirm in the investigation that these bone piles were inhabited by a reptile that was about one meter long, but of course they are not alive.

Lin found the complete skeletons of many of these reptiles in the pile of bones. Lin speculates that they should be starved or thirsty. In addition to them, most of the biological skeletons, carapace, and wood chips are corroded by fungi. Traces, that is to say, this kind of crawling class may be the role of the 'last survivor'.

When the fungus destroyed the whole area, they gathered together and started to build the nest with the bones of some dead creatures, etc., but why use the bones to build?

Lynn believes that they may have discovered the weakness of the plague fungus.

Lin studied and judged from the plague fungus obtained on the road and found that the dust of the plague fungus is more like the seed of the plant than the dust of the general fungus, they are larger, and the internal structure is more complicated, which itself reserves a small amount of Nutrients, but also has a special recognition ability, they generally only stick to the surface of the nutrient-capable objects, including the skeleton, wood, etc., as long as they adhere, they begin to grow,

When encountering ordinary rocks, the sand particles will not stick to them, but continue to drift until they find nutrients. This is a fairly advanced ability that ordinary fungi do not have, but there are some problems.

They cannot identify whether water is contained in the adhered object.

These reptiles have discovered this weakness of fungi. They use dried skeletons to build nests and wear them on their bodies, so that they can adsorb a large amount of dust, and these bacteria will start to grow after adsorption, but they will not be able to obtain it. Moisture causes the small amount of nutrients originally stored in the bacterial dust to be quickly exhausted, and then die.

If they are only covered with rocks or other things, they will not stop the bacteria dust from drilling through the gaps above and enter their respiratory system, but if using skeleton or wood, the bacteria dust will stick to the outside before drilling. .

But even if these reptiles have a way to protect themselves, they can't protect other creatures. They can only watch the entire jungle and various creatures destroyed by the plague. They also die because of lack of food and water.

Lynn found that this should be a smarter creature, they should not understand the structure of the plague fungus, but just stumbled upon the thing that ”it will not be infected with bones”, but found this and know how to use the already Awesome.

But they are extinct ...?

Perhaps, Lin can still find their traces.

These bone piles have a relatively complete skull at the top, and they are all facing in one direction. Why should they be placed like this?

Maybe it means ... they went somewhere.

Leviathan is now in that place.

The nests of bone piles are basically concentrated more than two hundred kilometers south of the coast, and now Leviathan is located two hundred and thirty kilometers away from the coast. Here, Lin saw a huge ... canyon.

The canyon is quite huge, just like the rift that appears on the ground. Under the vertical cliff is a dark abyss. The whole canyon is filled with dense fog, and it is impossible to see how wide it is. Lin ca n’t confirm it yet. It may or may not be bigger than the canyon that twists the jungle.
