4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 40 Strange Crystal and Shoal

Is that ... the dark worm?

Lynn found that it was another dark worm that was chasing the little arthropod, whose size was smaller than the one Lin had just killed.

The small arthropod ran quickly to Lin's position, and led the dark worm that chased it to Lin.

The aircraft carrier's sledgehammer instantly rose and fell, and the dark worm was directly hit by Lynn on the head, killing him with one blow.

The small arthropod escaped, but Lynn received more food.

This is really interesting.

Lin looked at the direction in which the arthropod escaped, and suddenly thought, maybe it could be used to catch more dark worms?

... Forget it, it seems difficult to actually operate.

But ... I didn't expect so many surprises in the dark night.

Lin asked the devourer to start to break down the dark worms. These creatures are real worms. There is no hard shell. The devourer can easily tear off a large piece of cell structure on it. The two dark worms are quickly swallowed up. The nutrients consumed in the water flow, jellyfish, and lantern making are all added back, and there are many more.

After eating, Lin went on. Finally, Lin found a guardian in a bunker, and finally merged successfully.

So now, where to go?

Continue to catch the dark worm?Or……

Lin already has quite a lot of fat reserves, and now it seems that the meaning of pursuing food is not very great. Maybe you should look around in this dark night. There may be more interesting discoveries.

Lin's easy victory against the Dark Worm made Lin become complacent, and the sense of crisis in her thoughts was replaced by curiosity and excitement. Even though the lantern shone only two aircraft carriers, Lin still started the dark journey.

Lin casually found a direction to start moving. The light of the lantern was swaying in the dark. The tiny biomes are now hiding at the edge of the light. Some of them are single cells and some are multi-cells, but it is difficult to see clearly.

Lin found that she had arrived in an unfamiliar area. There were no leaf-shaped insects, and without its familiar scenery, even the gravel underneath gradually became very large. It could be called 'stone'.

I haven't been to this place before.

Lin has stepped out of the beach, where coarse rocks replaced the gravel, and many single-celled organisms and a small jellyfish have gathered in the cracks of the rock.

The little jellyfish is about the size of the devourer, and Lynn can easily let the guards stretch their limbs into the cracks and clamp them.

However, Lin just threw it away after looking at it. Jellyfish are a kind of very uneconomical creatures. Although their bodies seem to be bulging and large, they actually only have a few thin skins and they need to be stabbed by sting The danger is that this is a creature that is not worth eating at all.

Lin went on and found that the rocks here were getting bigger and bigger, and even a row of very high boulders appeared in front.

Lin passed over the boulder, and suddenly its lantern hit a strange thing.

This object is about the size of an aircraft carrier, and its surface is as transparent as ice crystals, and there are many diamond-shaped protrusions.

This thing is not ice, because it is not cold to the touch, and then Lin knocked, and found that its hardness is much greater than ice, which is probably something that can be described by the word 'crystal'.

Lynn was pretty sure it had seen something similar before.

long, long ago……

That's right ... the observer.

The only single cell with vision, although Lin did not use it after she could synthesize her eyeballs, it remained in Lin ’s aircraft carrier. The observer ’s body had exactly the same crystal.

The crystals in the observer's body are quite small, but a closer look reveals the similarities between the two.

It is this crystallization that allows the observer to gain vision.

But what's so special about this thing?Why can the observer have vision?

Lin waved the hammer again and hit the crystal surface continuously. Some small debris was scattered under the impact. Lin asked the Devourer to catch the debris and bring it back to the aircraft carrier.

Lin asked the devourer to crush these debris into smaller pieces, small enough to allow a single cell to swallow. Lin planned to let the basic cells eat these debris, and then repeat the instruction at the time: "Get light, see everything around . "Let's see if they can gain vision.

... No effect, the basic cells that swallowed the crystals were completely unresponsive.

why?

Although a long time has passed, Lin still remembers the situation, and it is still very clear.

It moves exactly according to the original steps, but why is there no effect?The only explanation is that although this crystal looks very similar, it is not the same as the one swallowed by the observer.

Lin was a little disappointed, but it was not a big deal. It quickly ignored this matter and bypassed the crystallization to move on.

Lin found a lot of these crystals around, most of them standing in the rock, the size is not the same, but it seems that they are no different from the surrounding rocks, and are not valued by nearby creatures.

At this time, the surrounding darkness has slowly faded, and the light of the lantern has become less obvious, which means that the day is coming.

The duration of the night seems to be slightly shorter than that of the day ... Lin remembered the duration of the night and the day, and she will be prepared next time.

As the surroundings became brighter, Lin could clearly feel that the water temperature slowly began to warm up. It collected the lantern into the aircraft carrier and released a 'feeding circle' that nurtures green cells. At the same time, various creatures on the surrounding rocks They began to hide in the cracks, and it seemed that they were only operating and preying in the dark.

At this moment, some small creatures made the opposite move, they drilled a lot from the cracks in the rock, swimming in the brightened waters.

Lin found that these creatures are small, but they look very strange. They are shaped like leaf-shaped insects, but they can swing their flat bodies to swim in the water.

Lin called them "flatworms", and released the devourers to grab a few to eat. The structure of this kind of organism is similar to the dark worms, but above their esophagus, there is a head and tail, which is hard and round The structure, do not know what it is used for.

In addition, there is a crack on each side of the body. The crack is filled with many soft tentacles. These tentacles can intercept the floating oxygen bubbles and absorb them. It seems to be very useful. Lin thinks if she wants to make a similar one.

When the day comes, the surrounding crystals seem to absorb the light and start to become quite dazzling.I saw flatworms swimming out of the stone cracks gathered to these crystals, and put a flat body on the crystals.

What are they doing?

Lin swam in curiosity and touched the crystal surface with her tentacles, and found that the crystals became very warm. The flatworms were attached to it. Could it be to raise the body temperature?

Is it interesting?

Lin has experienced many frozen relationships and is not afraid of the cold itself. She can move quickly even in the extreme cold. These flatworms should have been in the dark for a long time. Their movements are very slow and they add to the crystallization. After the temperature, they will become quite rapid.

They will attack Lin's feeding ring, but not to eat Lin's feeding ring, but to attack the green cells inside, but the flatworm's mouth has no teeth, and they can't bite open the transparent skin of the feeding ring.

Lin immediately released a large number of devourers, and began to hunt flatworms that were still attached to the crystals, and the body was not completely warmed, and let some devourers guard the breeding circle from being attacked.

Flatworms are about the same size as the devourer, but in the case of full warming, the downstream are faster than the devourer, and they also have eyes. Lin must catch them before they are warmed up.

After the hunting continued for a while, Lin had eaten hundreds of flatworms, but there were still many around, and they were almost all warmed up, and it seemed difficult to catch them.

Lin planned to dispatch the injector, but then these flatworms suddenly made a strange move. They swam quickly in one direction, as if they were escaping, and disappeared in a while.

The direction in which the flatworm escaped was exactly the direction Lin came from. When Lin was strange, a strange pain suddenly came from her thoughts.

This kind of feeling can be felt in the cortex of the aircraft carrier and the cortex of the surrounding phagocytosis. Lin remembers this feeling, which is very similar to the feeling that the temperature is too high and the cells are damaged.

The guards have no feeling, they must have a hard-shell relationship.

This pain came from above, Lin looked up, and through the water, she saw the endless brilliance in the gas field.

It turned out that it was so bright on the water during the day ... Unlike the starry sky at night, it was a pure and broken light, bright ... that made Lin feel terrified.

……water surface?

When was the water surface so close to the seabed?

Lin only reacted at this moment. The water surface didn't know when it was so close to the aircraft carrier. Therefore, the ultraviolet rays seemed to pass through the water surface and hurt Lin's cortex. It immediately withdrew all the devourers and accelerated the direction of travel.

However, suddenly in front of Lin, the boulder that appeared suddenly blocked its way.

Is this ... boulder encountered when I came?Lin didn't care at that time, but now these stones have already risen above the water!……………………………………………………………………………… Thank you ~ Queen sm ~ Myself ~ Reward ~
