And there are more than 2,000 indigenous species living in Leviathan skeleton.
"Boy, I feel this is an island, a desert island." The old dog clutched the steering wheel with both hands and looked at the Leviathan skeleton in the distance with some ecstasy.
"This is an island," Kelan sighed with emotion. "Have you ever heard of a phenomenon on the earth called whale landing?"
The old dog shook his head. "Whale, I know what whale landing is?"
"Whale landing is the process in which the whale’s body sinks to the bottom of the sea after its death … in this process, the whale’s body will be gradually eaten away by all kinds of creatures until even the lipid substances in the bones are decomposed by bacteria … It may sound cruel, but for biologists, this phenomenon perfectly reflects the greatness and romance of nature."
"Great? Romantic? Isn’t it just a whale that died? What’s so romantic about this? " The old dog is a little incomprehensible.
Ivan couldn’t sit still at this time. "Have you seen the deep sea of the earth, old dog?"
"This is bullshit. How can you have seen the deep sea of the earth when the ark was born? Who has seen the earth with their own eyes?"
"I mean the deep sea in the old era Bora image data."
"Isn’t the bottom of the sea all the same?"
"Do you know anything about underwater ecology?"
"I don’t know," the old dog replied honestly.
"The depths of the earth’s oceans are as barren and barren as the desert of Alpha Planet … and a whale that falls into the bottom of the sea will establish an ecosystem that can last for a hundred years. It is like an oasis in the desert and an island in the same deep sea …"
Ivan went on to say, "The flesh and blood, tissues and filth of whales can feed tens of thousands of underwater creatures … Even if they are skeletal, the underwater reefs can still be a livable place for those underwater species that live in darkness and cold. The matter and energy that this whale can do in the world that cannot be irradiated by sunlight are of measurable value to that world … I remember that someone once said that this phenomenon was a phenomenon."
"This Leviathan is really like a whale that sank to the bottom of the sea," Koran said with a long breath. "The species that live in its remains, including us, are the creatures that eat whale carcasses and live on the bottom of the sea."
Curran looked up at the leaden sky through the skylight. If Leviathan is really a "beast that rules the sky", what is the qualitative difference between Leviathan falling from the sky to the ground and a whale falling into the deep sea?

Chapter one hundred and thirty Mining base
"SOMA consortium base is located in the second spine, along the steep slope of the third pair of fins on the left side of Leviathan, you can see the base people will send mine mules to meet at the foot of the mountain," said Leviathan, pointing to the distance from the motorcade.
The steepest part of the mountain road is nearly 40 degrees, which may not be a problem for tracked armored vehicles and high-powered off-road vehicles, but it is almost impossible for armored trucks carrying materials to climb such steep slopes, which requires this kind of traction equipment called "mine mule"
The mule has a pair of huge wheels with sharp claws, and a pair of mining tongs are strong enough to easily crush the power armor-all the mules in his mining area are regarded as the main mining machinery, so that the working efficiency of one mule can be equal to that of thirty human miners wearing power exoskeletons, and the former thirty human miners kept working for twenty hours without eating, drinking or resting …
But Leviathan mule can’t play its original role-first, the strange magnetic field of Leviathan will interfere with the mule drive system, which will paralyze the mule; second, because most mines are too small in diameter and large in size, the mule will enter the industrial area by root method … The first batch of mule that arrived at Leviathan mule was thrown into the warehouse to eat ash for the first two months until people found a very difficult problem.
Crystalline ore extracted from Leviathan can be transported out by aircraft, but this is too expensive and there are few places where Leviathan’s back can be landed.
In the conventional truck, it is driven on the back of the root Leviathan. Even the crawler-type equipment with strong off-road ability will be overwhelmed with its own engine after loading heavy ore …
At this moment, someone finally remembered the long-forgotten mine mule in the corner of the warehouse. After simple transformation, these mechanical monsters with horrible horsepower turned into the best transportation tools in Leviathan mining area.
"Back … back a little better! ….. K-2 machine docked the clamp with the truck with the help of laser guidance. "
Workers commanded the mule to firmly grasp a metal lock on the cargo compartment of the truck with the modified giant mining tongs, and at the same time locked a roar from the engine of the mule, and then pulled the truck weighing more than 40 tons to the mountain.
"Yeah, the engine output of this thing is going to catch up with small warships, right?" The old dog could not help but say
"Not driven, but has surpassed most small warships." Leighton once again sounded in the communication channel. "Active warships are equipped with anti-gravity devices, and the requirements for engine output are not great … As far as I know, the single engine output of small warships like Hummingbird Class and Hobbit Class is really exploded by this mine mule."
"It’s getting late to go, and I hope to get to the base before lunch," said Kelan.
"It’s also that every meal these days is eating compressed biscuits and canned food, and now I have that smell in my throat." The old dog said, shifting the car to a low-speed gear and slowly stepping on the gas pedal with the engine growling. Junius crawled along this steep mountain road
"Pay attention to the surrounding environment. This is the habitat of scale-winged flying insects. Although this kind of insects usually don’t take the initiative to attack humans, if they just hit their breeding season, these little things will become extremely violent and regard all moving things in the field of vision as their enemies." Kelan communication channel said that all this information came from the "friendship gift" of the intelligence dealer in the forum
"Mr. Curran, you seem to know a lot about the ecology of Leviathan skeleton," Yuyi said casually at him.
"The first thing a hunter should do after receiving it is to collect information." The old dog took over the conversation. "We are all professionals, but we are not the kind of novices who can compete."
The rookie in his mouth naturally refers to the hunters who belong to the SOMA consortium … Koran, it seems that even Benson’s group of people are much better than these guys who were almost wiped out.
After six hours’ long trek, the motorcade finally arrived at the SOMA consortium base in the central mountain of the second vertebra of Leviathan. This base covers an area of 6.7 square kilometers, and a bowl-shaped protective cover is inverted. From time to time, a flash of extraordinary splendor from the protective cover shows that this thing should have been transported. The Alpha shield technology should give enough energy, and even a small tactical nuclear bomb will cause any damage to the protective cover base.
"It’s really a hard turtle shell," commented the old dog.
A group of people had already waited for the entrance of the base. First, there was a white old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle. He was wearing a spotless light gray suit with a black bow tie with Phnom Penh. His shoes were polished and shiny … but he was wearing a pair of mechanical hands with a metallic color sticking out from the sleeve of the suit.
"The commander and head of Leviathan base, a 55-year-old senior director of the Prussian consortium in Manstein, is limited to L7…… … Of course, the title of commander of this base fell to you before you came." Yi Xiao introduced to Kelan.
When Kelan jumped from Junius, this old man named Manstein was very warmly greeted. From his face, Kelan couldn’t see that kind of resentment after being taken away by an "outsider" … This can say two questions: either this guy belongs to that kind of genius with deep talent or the other person belongs to Zofija, and the person who sent him here is clear about the truth.
Kelan thinks the latter possibility is greater.
"Welcome Mr. Kelan, the special consultant of the consortium, to the Leviathan base." Manstein speaks Chinese very well and can hardly recognize any accent. He held out his hand and shook hands with Kelan. "When Manstein is the head of this base, my family and I will cooperate with you to help you …"
Manstein’s side is still talking about the pleasantries with Kelan, but the clothes are coming quickly and winking at him. "Mr. Consultant already knows."
"What, do you know everything?" Manstein looked at her with a slightly stiff expression and some astonishment.
"All know" by the clothes nodded toward her.
"Well, in this case," Manstein put away his face and smiled at Kelan and said, "Now that you already know, I won’t talk nonsense-the No.7 mine has been blocked at the base, and two-thirds of the armed forces are stationed outside the tunnel at the entrance. This state has been going on for a week. Although the password has been blocked, it is more and more likely that news will be leaked if you continue to delay."
Chapter one hundred and thirty-one Mental disorder lucky person
"If his family knew about the Holy Grail, the situation would be completely out of control."
Lu Yuyi had already told Kelan that the Holy Grail was a code name given to ultra-pure crystals by the SOMA consortium for secrecy, just like Kelan and his former "tools" used to refer to humans parasitized by eroded species or carnivorous worms.
"I know that Miss SOMA sent me to handle this matter," Kelan nodded. "Please rest assured Mr. Manstein that my teammates and I are both professional relic hunters with rich experience in this kind."
"Of course, I believe in Mr. Kelan and your team ability. I am a little curious … I heard that you have just joined the consortium?"
The meaning of Manstein’s words couldn’t be more white. He questioned not their ability but their identity. For him, Kelan and his gang were a group of outsiders, so it was impossible to let outsiders intervene in such things as the core secrets of the consortium.
"Since Miss SOMA chose me, I’m trustworthy, Mr. Manstein. What do you think?" Kelan did not change the subject, but directly chose tit for tat.
"You’re right," Manstein said hurriedly. "I’m paranoid …"
"It doesn’t matter. Now the most important thing is the Holy Grail, don’t you think?" Kelan deliberately lowered his voice and said in Manstein’s ear.
"But …" Manstein hesitated. "How about this? There’s still a period of time before lunch. I’ll take you and your team to the reception room for a short rest and send you the detailed information about the Holy Grail after dinner."
"Don’t go to the reception hall, just go to the medical room," Ke Lan suddenly said. "Those who survived the previous exploration should still be recovering from their injuries in the base, right?"
"The first batch and the second batch of lucky people have already returned to the Ark headquarters. In the third batch, two lucky people are in critical condition, and the seriously injured are sent back by the transport plane. Others still have it here … In the fourth batch, one person escaped alive without being injured … but there is something wrong with his brain." Manstein replied.
"Crazy?"
Manstein nodded his head.
Generally speaking, hunters’ willpower is much stronger than that of ordinary people, even if a group of novice monks fail to pass the willpower test, they will get a business license … If you want a hunter’s willpower to completely collapse and fall into madness, there is also that kind of weird thing that can completely subvert human cognition, and it is very basic to describe things or illusions …
What did this lucky man see in the mine?
