4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 28 The Ediacaran Worm
'Click ...'
The ice layer continued to vibrate, and there were more and more cracks around. Lin made the diggers retreat back into the aircraft carrier, but it still kept the little eyeball outside to observe the movement.
At this time, under the continuous vibration, the channel dug by the diggers in the ice had collapsed. At the same time, Lin also saw that after the transparent ice layer, a huge black figure appeared gradually.
what is this?
Lin was extremely curious about this thing, but now Lin can only see its obscure body through the ice, unable to understand the details.
Lin's only confirmation at the moment is that its size is almost the same as that of Lin's aircraft carrier, and it keeps moving forward in the ice, and its direction is exactly where Lin is.
Every time this creature moves, there will be more cracks in the surrounding ice layer, which means that it is advancing through the ice with a strong force.
What is this?
Lin has never seen such a huge creature, even the largest amoeba can't grow that big.
Although Lin has seen a large-scale cell community gathering scene, this is obviously not a huge cell community, it is a whole creature!
Is there any other creature that can combine multiple cells?
Lynn had never seen that kind of creature, which is why it has always been invincible.
'Ka ...' As this creature got closer and closer, there was only a thin layer of ice between Lin and it, and at the next moment, this layer of ice issued a final collapse, under the attack of this creature, The whole ice wall broke apart, turned into countless small pieces of debris floating in the water, and then dissolved and disappeared.
At this time, this creature also appeared in front of Lin.
Its appearance is very strange, not like the usual cells, its head is a semi-circular structure, it seems very hard, Lin looked at this creature using his head to shatter the ice.
Its cylindrical body is very long, with continuous protrusions like a thread, extending into the ice cave it dug behind.
Under the semi-circular head, there are ten tentacles symmetrical, which seem to be used to move.
No, it may not be called tentacles, because these tentacles are not as flexible as real tentacles. They seem to be able to bend in a fixed direction only, and they are hard, and they are divided in the middle.
The word 'arthropod' may be more suitable for this creature.
At the end of these arthropods is a clamp-like structure, and the inside is covered with serrations, Lin came up with a new word 'Ao Limb' to describe this structure.
This is a brand-new creature, not only has a huge body shape, its body structure Lin has never seen before, its appearance also comes with a lot of new words.
"Scull worm", Lin thought the name was pretty good.
Although Lin likes the name, she doesn't like what the creature is doing now.
The Buckler worm has dug up the ice and is swimming towards the location of Lin ’s aircraft carrier. Lin does not know what it will do, nor does it know what to do.
Attack it?Ignore it?
Lin will not act rashly in the face of his opponent, who knows if the other party has the ability to destroy himself?But if you don't move, the opponent may not attack.
Lin was hesitating.
But the other party did not.
The giant worm swam to the cortex of the aircraft carrier. It touched the surface of the cortex with its arthropod, as if exploring something. Then, it suddenly spread out its jagged end with long teeth and caught it at once.
After pulling hard, a large layer of cortex on the surface of the aircraft carrier was pulled off by it, and then it was sent into the mouth without hesitation.
The mouth of the buckworm looks like a hole with a small blade around it. Lin's torn skin is sent to the mouth, and then cut into smaller pieces by the blade before being swallowed.
it hurts……
The cortex was torn open and then crushed and engulfed. This series of pains made Lin no longer hesitate. At this moment, she was determined to destroy this enemy.
Fight back!
Lin vigorously shakes the tentacles on the side of the aircraft carrier, throwing the shield worm away while the aircraft carrier twists the entire body, and at the same time opens the passage openings on all the aircraft carriers, allowing all the devourers to dispatch and attack the target!
so hard!
This is Lin's first feeling after attacking the round shield worm, because the opponent's semi-circular and smooth head makes the devourer unable to speak, so Lin concentrates on attacking the opponent's articulation.
But the cone-shaped cells and acid-injectors in the mouth of the devourer can smash all the cellular organisms, but they can't shake the hard shell on the arthropod of the round shield worm.
In fact, they are difficult to even bite on the smooth hard shell. After all, the biggest devourer is not half as large as the pliers of the Buckler worm, and the smallest one cannot match the jagged tip of the pliers.
Moreover, Lin is mostly a small phagocytosis. The original large phagocytosis was used to deal with large-scale cell communities, but after all, it is too large to drill in the gaps of gravel, so the number is very small.
The Buckler worm didn't feel anything about Lin's attack. It twisted its body and swam up, slamming Lin's aircraft carrier again, and tearing off pieces of cortex from his body with his limbs.
Because the cortex is torn apart, the single cells in the aircraft carrier are dispersed, but the round shield worm is not interested in these small single cells. It is still tearing the carrier's cortex. It seems to only eat the multi-cell structure.
If this continues, Lin may not be completely killed, but the aircraft carrier will definitely be lost.
Absolutely not!But what should I do?
Lin began to think quickly. It noticed the twistable joints on the arthropod of the buckler worm, which showed white, different from the black hard shell around it, and should be more fragile.
Lin asked the devourers to attack the positions of these joints, but its limbs kept shaking, making it very difficult to aim. However, under Lin ’s continuous attempts, a large devourer bite the wrist of one of the joints. On the joint.
The joint is composed of a softer white substance. Lynn made the devourer wriggle his body constantly, and finally, with the sharp spines of the dissolution solution and the cone cells, and the forceful tear, the devourer successfully pulled off Chunks of soft stuff.
After tearing the switch node, Lin found that a large group of blue cells poured out of the joint rift. Lin immediately thought that these cells should be the stuff to form the shield worm. It immediately caused the devourers to start crushing these surging cells. , And let some small devourers get into the joint.
It's very dark inside, there is no light, but some of Devourer's devourers have a lot of flashing balls in their cortex in order to move in the darkness beneath the sand, so even if it is dark, they can see clearly inside if they can shine by themselves environment of.
The inside of the arthropod seems to be a pipe-like place, which is filled with a weak current, and it is filled with dense blue cells everywhere. They are constantly swimming towards the crack that Lin has just torn out, completely ignoring it. Lynn's devourer invades.
Some larger blue cells seem to be blocking the gap with the body, preventing more blue cells from flowing outside.
Crush them.
Lin did not hesitate, and the devourers immediately went up and attacked the blocked blue cells. At the same time, Lin also let more devourers rush into the crack and began to attack the blue cells inside.
At this time, the Buckler worm finally responded. It seemed to feel the pain, and it slammed the joint injured limb, but the remaining limbs were still tearing Lin's carrier skin.
Because of its flicking, Lin became difficult to invade from the outside, but the wound had already penetrated dozens of devourers, and Lin began to let them desperately attack everything around him.
At the same time, Lin began to let the remaining devourers continue to attack other joints, and let a large number of burst balls and cone cells swim out of the damaged cortex of the aircraft carrier and rush directly to the mouth of the buckworm.
Since the outside can't bite, then attack the inside directly!
