Chapter 395: Jelly Ecology
This is a world of jelly, everything is made of jelly, whether it is the ceiling, the walls, or the ground is made of jelly, and even living things are made of jelly.
This is a result that Lynn came to after studying the creatures here...
This head is a starfish-like creature made of jelly.
To be precise, it is the structure inside the body, and the outer shell resembles a solid layer of ice. Of course, this is not ice. Lin has also seen similar structures in another creature, the Void Bus.
However, its body is completely different from the Void Bus. A large amount of jelly-like substance fills its body, but it is different from the jelly outside. The jelly inside this creature still has many small objects floating.
These small objects drifted inside, as if they didn't make any movement, and they didn't see any structures similar to internal organs, but they did transport things like nutrients like living things...
Beneath the ice-crystal-like shell, the creature's body has joints that allow it to move.
And this creature as a whole is also composed of substances that have never been seen before. It seems that, like the cold stone, it can only live in a cold area. If it goes to a place with a higher temperature, the 'jelly' in its body will dissolve.
It can only live in icy regions, and I don't know what it feeds on... But if it feeds on the jelly that is everywhere here, there will be countless foods around.
But in this way, it should not have such strong athletic ability. It can run so fast, just to chase something, or to avoid something.
In short. Let's call this creature a 'jelly starfish'.
And this 'jelly starfish'. Doesn't seem to eat by itself. The worms that Lin had discovered before were the ones responsible for finding food for them.
This worm... is very similar to the symbiotic species of the void bus, the shape is almost the same, but the color is different.
But they are not multicellular organisms, but are 'jelly creatures' like jelly starfish. They usually live in the tentacles of jelly starfish, and there are vacancies in it for worms to live in...
A starfish can live in more than a dozen worms, and Lin found that these worms secrete something in the tentacles for the starfish to absorb.
But it is not known what they eat, although they are full of jelly. However, it has a different composition from the jelly outside. From the appearance of the worm attacking the captain before,
They may be prey for a living.
But what creatures are there for them to catch?
The pom-pom has now left the cave inhabited by the jelly starfish and has flown out onto the jelly plains.
In this extremely low temperature environment, except for a starfish here, Lin has not seen any other creatures. Lin thought that there were starfish hidden under the piles of jelly, but in fact there was nothing, and there was nothing hidden underneath. the cave...
It seems. It needs to continue to search, and in the body of this starfish. Lin found another component about the teleporter. Lin felt a little strange, as if the teleporter was synthesized from many different things.
Because there is no way to repair the relationship, Lin has not opened the teleporter, maybe there is a more complex structure in it, not necessarily...
In short there needs to be more exploration in this place.
In the next time, the pom-pom stayed here to continue to observe the starfish here, while it remained motionless in the cave, as if it had entered a state of deep sleep...
The captain seemed to be frightened last time and did not go out to explore again. Therefore, Lin needed to go out to search by herself. Lin dispatched other pom-poms and floated to a farther place.
The jelly field spreads quite wide in this place belonging to the dark night. When Lin flew to the depths, she could even see the mountains where the jelly was piled up.
These mountains are tens of meters higher than the jelly piles seen before, and it is difficult to understand how they formed, there should be no other possibility other than biological piles.
Lin has never seen a storm in this world, and even strong air currents are rare, these jellies are unlikely to pile up in other situations.
But most importantly, how did they form? There is no way to know this kind of thing just by detecting the ingredients.
In order to obtain the answer, Pom Pom observed the situation here as he went deeper.
After flying for hundreds of kilometers, the pom-pom left the jelly plain, which was already in the depths of the dark world, with extremely cold temperatures, no light, only icy Ishihara, without the appearance of any creatures.
And the jelly I saw on the jelly field, they have always been the same, it seems that there is no phenomenon like snow to produce this kind of jelly, and they do not seep out of the ground...
Those black substances in the sky did not contain jelly ingredients.
Although I don't understand these jellies, Lin feels that she has basically guessed the truth of this world now, because Lin found that even after a large number of obstructions, it is night and there is no day.
If the detection of the captain's gunship is correct, the sun here is only a tumbler, and this tumbler seems to have a special turn because only one side is always facing the sun, and the other side is always in the dark , which creates this extreme environment here.
However, the coldness here is also related to the black matter in the sky.
What is the formation of those strange substances here, there is no result so far, but it should have been maintained for a long time, so the jelly starfish living there was created.
Or is this creature alien?
Next, you should also explore the side with the fierce sun.
When Lin was exploring this place, the captain completely locked himself in the gunboat. It no longer came out to explore, but kept the construction of the base. Although it was very lonely, it did not dare to come out.
This captain is very timid, no wonder Lin planned to escape so quickly when she attacked the Wandering.
Speaking of which, does Xumin have an organ called 'gall'?
Exploring in the hot sun area does not seem as interesting as the cold area. It is too hot, and it is almost a complete rocky plain, and no special creatures are seen.
The stone creatures that were there before, have never been seen again.
After this... it's been a long, long time...
For the exploration of this tumbler, Lin has already made a circle. There are no creatures on the surface here, at least there are no rich creatures.
Although there are still many ways to investigate, Lin has other things to focus on now.
Because, three years have come... (To be continued. . . )
