4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 97 Residents in the Pit
The breeding activities of dragonflies continued for a day and night, and when the day came the next day, the dragonflies were almost exhausted. Most of them rested on the stairs by the water, and only a few dragonflies continued to produce. egg.
Creatures are always crazy to reproduce.
The water is flooded with a lot of dragonfly cubs and grows rapidly under the rich worm resources, but Lin doesn't think they can get enough nutrients to grow up, and they will definitely not eat enough by then. There are too many dragonflies.
Leviathan now put away his wings and floated on the water to rest. Lin wanted to see what would happen next. Since the breeding activity was over, the dragonflies would soon leave. Lin thought that there would definitely be a next step change No matter what, after reading it all, you should be able to solve the puzzle of this pit.
Soon after, Lin noticed that some dragonflies began to fly out of the pit, but before they reached the pit mouth, they seemed to be caught by something. They could n’t fly even if they could n’t fly. They could only struggle in the air. How long did it fall and fell on the stairs of the pit wall.
what is that?
Under the reflection of the light, Lin noticed that a silver thread was connected behind the dragonfly. Although it was very thin and difficult to see, the pulling force seemed to be very strong.
Now a large number of dragonflies began to fly away from the pit, but they were all controlled by this silk thread without exception, unable to fly away from this giant pit.
Strangely, when were these lines connected?They are definitely not there when they breed, otherwise the thread will stir together, so when they are tired from breeding, do they stick to them when resting?
There must be some kind of creature ... doing this kind of thing without Lynn noticing.
Because Lin basically stayed on the water at the bottom of the pit and could not see the surrounding higher steps, Lin remembered that there were many caves with a diameter of one to two meters on some of the higher steps, maybe there were other Creatures are hidden inside,
A large number of dragonflies were pulled by the wire, and coupled with exhaustion, they only fell for a while and then fell down from the air, most of them fell on the stairs, and some fell on the water.
Leviathan spread his wings on the water, and slowly flew up after the wings expanded. Lynn watched the dragonflies that were falling around and still struggling. There must be some creatures coming out to clean them up.
When Leviathan rose to a certain height, Lin saw a cave on a ladder, and there were some creatures crawling out.
This is a small arthropod, each only about five centimeters long, and resembles a creature called 'bee' in the long and twisted jungle, but they have no wings.
It's called 'Black Bee'.
The black bee crawled out of the cave in large numbers to attack the falling dragonflies nearby, shred it with a sharp jaw, and then dragged towards the cave.
Lin noticed that black bees with black crusts appeared on the stairs of the potholes. They were all doing the same job-tearing the dragonfly and bringing it back to the cave.
The black bee didn't seem to notice the huge Leviathan, and Lyn found that all of these creatures had no eyes. They relied on their tentacles to determine their orientation.
Is this creature ... maybe the culprit of making silk thread to stick dragonfly?Or……
Lin suddenly discovered that a weird creature suddenly appeared in a cave. Its body was just over a half-meter long, cystic meat ball, and it was silver-white and quite conspicuous.
The creature also had a huge eyeball, and when it saw Leviathan with its eyes, it suddenly made a weird cry.
Sure enough ... these creatures, like the Aztecs, cooperate in a clear classification.
The meat ball made a weird noise, and then another creature appeared from the cave. They were like a fat oval worm, carried by a black bee, and had no mobility.
The fat insects opened their mouths and aimed at Leviathan in the air, then spurted a sticky silk, hitting Leviathan's carapace.
Lin found that there were many fat insects in the cave that were also carried by the black bee. They sprayed a lot of silk thread on Leviathan, sticking Leviathan's carapace, wings and various positions, and then the group of black bees pulled the fat The bug kept going back, trying to drag Leviathan down.
It turned out that this way, to understand this pit, and what the dragonfly is all about.
Although it is not known whether the pit was built by them, it is clear that these creatures live here, they should be responsible for cleaning up the sand and dust in the pit, and then use the pit to store water, can also attract prey, can be large-scale once Catch a lot of dragonflies.
Those silk threads should be glued in the dark, because the dragonfly's night vision ability is not very good.
The worm eggs in those waters should be related to them and are used as 'bait'.
These creatures do not know how long they have lived here, but obviously they know how to use the environment here to obtain food and water for themselves.
Such creatures are really wonderful ... they obviously have wisdom beyond common creatures, Lin thinks they are extremely valuable for research.
Lin gave them a name-'Inca Insect Swarm'. For some of the more wonderful creatures, Lin would also have a more strange name in her mind.
However, for this 'Inca insect swarm', Lin still has a lot of puzzles. Why don't they distort the jungle, but live in the big pit of this desert, and live a day without a meal?
It's strange, they can't know that there is a twisted jungle, right?Aztecs are too far away, and they also have their own spires. It ’s okay to say, but heavy rain in the desert should be very rare, otherwise the entire desert will be covered by the jungle long ago, which means that the Inca worms have not eaten Is it just watching random rain?
Lin thought of this, and suddenly felt a powerful force, dragging Leviathan to the lower right. Lin found that there were more and more black bees joining the pull. Those fat worms were only responsible for the connection. Contribute.
The power is really great, obviously just a group of small creatures of five centimeters ...
The strength of arthropods lies in the hydraulic system, but Lin recently found that the energy conversion efficiency of arthropods is also very high. Generally speaking, creatures like reptiles or salamanders can only exert about 30% of their muscle strength. Excessive, will lead to repair and nutrient supply can not keep up and damage muscles, but the conversion efficiency of arthropods is 10% higher, they can use 90% of the muscle strength, which also makes the arthropod strength far greater than their own weight.
However, Leviathan's weight is dozens of times that of the dragonfly, it is not so easy to pull it.
Lin aimed the muzzle at the densely packed group of black bees and fired a burst of bombs.
This new type of explosive bomb is mixed with explosives. When it hits the target, the explosive system inside will start, and a lot of dissolved liquid is compressed inside.
'boom!'
The high-temperature dissolving solution spreads with the explosion of the bomb, igniting a small shock wave, and countless black bees are scattered by the impact. At the same time, once they contact the dissolving solution, the armor of the whole body will be corroded and decayed instantly.
At this moment, the black bee force pulling Leviathan disintegrated and collapsed. Leviathan took advantage of the opportunity to fly one of its wings to the sky. At that moment, those silk threads were also broken by Leviathan, and only some broken wires were still stuck in Leigh. Witan.
The remaining Inca worm swarms back to the cave on the stairs with the fat-spitting worms, seemingly intending to give up Leviathan, and the worms in other places did not carry dragonflies, but all ran in. In the cave.
After a while, the entire giant pit was as quiet as when Lin started to arrive, if you did n’t go to see the dragonflies still struggling.
Leviathan flew over the pit mouth, looking down on the entire giant pit.
Those in the giant pit are spiral-like, and there are quite a lot of caves on the step-by-step steps. There are more than 1,000 caves in total. Lin inferred that these caves may be hiding the secrets of the Inca insect swarm, maybe their nests. Not necessarily.
Should go in for research.
'Buzz ...' Lin suddenly heard a strange sound coming from under the pit.
Buzz?This voice is ...
I saw a lot of bugs flying out of the cave on the stairs and rushed towards Leviathan!..............................................................................
