4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 111 The Vanishing Moss
"Sky, water."
At the base of the cave entrance, Leviathan looked at the sky with headworms, who expressed their ideas with a simple voice.
This whole body is a small creature of the brain. After a long time, Lin feels that it is harmless, so now it can be moved at will.
Yes, it ’s going to rain ...
The word just said by the head worm just meant to rain.
There is a huge amount of black clouds over the twisted jungle. This place does not actually rain very often, and every time it rains, it is quite huge. The arthropods between the jungles are busy, mostly looking for places Hiding, but some are infested in the rain.
For example, bark cockroach.
The bark cockroach is a kind of cockroach. It has a huge body and the body color is exactly the same as the bark, but Lin can recognize it. I saw a few giant veined dragonflies flying rapidly through the forest. When they flew over a trunk, a piece 'Bark' suddenly moved. It stretched out its forelimbs with serrations and barbs, and instantly caught a dragonfly.
Although the dragonfly is about the same size as the bark cockroach, it can hardly resist when caught and can only be eaten slowly.
"Dragonfly, food, delicious."
Headworm also saw this scene of hunting and published its thoughts.
"Bark cockroach?"
Leviathan also pronounced a word to the head bug.
When the headworm heard it, it issued a simple word: "It tastes bad."
Well, a simple understanding is that the head worm said that the dragonfly is delicious, and the bark cockroach is unpalatable. The concepts of "delicious" and "unpalatable" are also issued by the head worm. Lin found that it has a very interesting feature. They are all foods that can be normally absorbed by cells in the body, and the nutrients are not much different, but headworms like some foods, but not like some.
After research, Lin found that headworms would eat very slow foods that they did n’t like, with unpleasant emotions and issued a special cry, and the representative word for this kind of cry was “difficult to eat”, “delicious 'On the contrary, when eating good food, it will eat fast and very happy.
This is a very interesting phenomenon. Lynn still doesn't know how it happened. This headworm has great research value.
"Water, tumble, cave."
Seeing that heavy rain was coming, the head worm twisted its fleshy body and rolled back into the cave at the base.
This creature is indeed very interesting. Lin often exchanges information with it like this. By the way, there seems to be a word to describe this move: 'chat'.
"Talk" seems to be understandable, but what about "sky"?This word is really weird enough.
It's going to rain now, and Lynn usually doesn't take shelter from the rain, especially Leviathan is even more unnecessary. Lin is more concerned about the jungle.
The moss in the glittering woodland has become less and less. Many moss-eating creatures have left this woodland. In the past few days and nights, Lin has been concerned about how these mosses have become less.
Mosses seem to slowly wither, dry, and die. They are not short of water, and they can still glow at night. Why?
Thinking, Leviathan stood up, crossed the river, and walked above the glittering woodland.
It has become a bit like a dark place now, only sporadic moss grows on the ground, besides it is a large black muddy ground, as well as some cracked bark and stones.
Instead, it was the source of darkness, because the spread of the green carpet became brighter, but Lin was more concerned about the reason for this phenomenon of the glittering woodland.
Not only the moss, but also the twisted trees on the glittering woodland began to show some strange phenomena. They began to peel off. Although not much, each piece of fallen skin has one thing in common. They are very dry and cracked, like water. It seemed to be pumped away.
Leviathan approached a handful of moss and stretched out his tentacles to dig it up.
Lin decided to take the moss back to study to see why they died.
There was a burst of thunder in the air, and Leviathan quickly walked back into the base's cave ...
Lynn found that the head bug had not entered at the entrance of the cave. When it saw Leviathan, it said: "Boss, wood, moss, chapped, dead."
It wanted to tell Leviathan that both the moss and the wood had died after they had cracked, but Lynn ignored it now, but took the moss to the depths of the cave, and the entrance to the cave was sealed.
'Gate-Molder' is a kind of arms made by Lin, they will mix soil and a kind of crust on a rainy day, thus forming a watertight wall to seal the hole to prevent rainwater from entering the base, otherwise it may be produced The danger of collapse.
The head bug moved Leviathan to the depths of the cave. It seemed a little curious, and Lynn took that moss to do something.
Unfortunately, it is invisible.
Lin put the moss into a decomposition capsule, and then cut some small wounds on the surface of the moss to let the miniature scouts enter the moss to study. There are also eyeballs outside the moss to observe its appearance.
Plant cells are relatively simple and have few types, so it is easy to judge.
Lin found that among these moss cells, there are some strange creatures, some filamentous creatures, these creatures are composed of multi-cells in a branch, and the structure is special. Lin seems to have never seen such a composition.
Lin conducted some observational studies on them.
They will destroy the cell structure of the moss, kill the cells of the moss, and also produce toxins, which will eventually erode the entire moss and turn it into a powder.
When the moss dies, they will grow a large number of special cysts, which seem to be similar to seeds. These cysts are very light and will drift with the wind. It seems to breed by this.
It turned out that this thing killed the moss?In other words, the moss in the glittering woodland is all dead because of this thing?
But where do they come from?There was no problem with the moss before.
Is it ...
Lin thought of the fungus planted on the wood in the crystal wormhole, and their structure seems to be very similar to those creatures that kill moss.
But Lynn did not bring out the fungus there, and the entire cave was also blown up. It is unlikely that something inside came out ...
While Lin was thinking, she heard the thunder outside the base again, and at the same time, the head worm's voice also sounded: "Lightning, fungus, cracked wood, movement, water, Phare, death."
'Far' is a new pronunciation, a vocabulary that Lin does not understand.
Just when Lin was puzzled, there was a huge roar outside the cave. It was not lightning, but the sound of something falling down.(To be continued.
