4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

112 Burning Flash Forest

The sound outside ... there was indeed something huge falling on the ground. Lynn could see the fort with eyeballs on the green carpet outside. A huge twisted trunk fell to the ground opposite the river.

On the trunk of the tree, there was a layer of shining light that kept beating. This radiance kept exuding the extremely high temperature, which Lin could clearly feel.

That's ... 'flame' ... 'burning'.

Lin remembered that the boulders that had fallen from the sky that she had seen before in the disaster were also surrounded by high-temperature flames.

Is there another disaster?

"Water, move, Fall, death."

The headworm repeated these words around Leviathan, and Lin could feel that her mood was very anxious.

Leviathan walked to the entrance of the cave, Lin asked the door-molder to dissolve the sealed hole, and Lynn planned to let Leviathan investigate directly.

Outside the base, it seems to be another world. The sky is constantly echoing with thunderous thunder, and endless rain drops are hitting all objects in sight, forming a never-ending noise.

The twisted trunk fell on an open field in the glittering woodland, not far from the river. It burned with high-temperature flames all over its body. Leviathan was a little closer, and he could feel the heat wave.

What caused it ... How could such a huge tree break down and fall?

Leviathan approached the burning trunk step by step, and Lynn released a small pilot with a powerful sensory organ. It approached the burning trunk and detected the temperature of the flame.

The feeling of this temperature is very similar to that of lava, but the fixed temperature of lava seems to be different. The temperature of the flame fluctuates. Some areas are quite high and some areas are relatively low.

But now, Lin is more concerned about the reason for its burning.

Looking up here, you can see that a dense trunk twists a tree trunk, and a flame is burning at the section.

Lynn remembered that the flames disappeared after the boulders that burned the flames fell into the water, but now under such heavy rain, the flames did not seem to weaken at all.

'boom!'

Sky suddenly flashed a bright light, while Lin heard a burst of explosive sound clearly. I saw that the trees above suddenly ignited a fierce fire. The huge trunk broke under the sound of explosion and fell down ...

A large number of broken burning giant trees fell from the upper layer of the forest and smashed everywhere in the glittering woodland. This forest once again lit up the dazzling light, but unlike the previous light that symbolized life, the high temperature of the flame only symbolized death Small creatures surrounded by flames are forced to dig out of the ground or trees. They try to escape to the place where there is no flame, or they are swallowed by the flame when there is no way to escape.

Leviathan stood among these burning woods, and Lynn calculated the location they had hit in advance, so there was no need to avoid it, but ... what was that just now?

Seems to be lightning?Did lightning cause the burning of wood?But there have been dozens of torrential rains before the twisted jungle, and all of them are almost accompanied by strong lightning and thunder. This time the lightning is actually not very strong. Lin has seen much stronger than this.

But none of those lightnings can cause the twisted jungle to burn. The twisted jungle seems to be able to resist the lightning itself. Why did it burn this time?

"Water, moving, dry and cracked wood, Phare, dead."

Lynn remembered the headworm's words ... it seemed to know what things looked like ...

Although Lin has lived for a long time, she does not know much about land. Many things happening on land are completely different from those in the sea, just like this flame.

The flame spread continuously on the tree trunk, it seems to try to extend the high-temperature light to the entire jungle, and in the water, only lava is similar, but the lava cannot diffuse in the water, they will soon cool and solidify.

Now, the key to solving the problem is the word head worm.

By the way, the water, the moving, the cracked wood is to explain, after the water is removed, does the tree dry out?

Thinking, Lynn let Leviathan approach a recent twisted tree that was not affected by the flames. Lynn just pulled the bark of the tree with his tentacles and tore off a large piece of bark.

The twisted trees really caused problems. The skins of these trees were originally quite hard and could not be easily torn off, but now ...

Lin found a lot of white silk under the torn bark.

Is this ... fungus?Is it all caused by fungi?

By the way, the fungus destroys the internal structure of the wood, this creature ... can decompose the wood ...

Originally, this twisted jungle was completely free of fungi, but since then, since the Chibucha was extinct, the moss began to disappear, and then even affected these huge twisted trees.

Why do they have such a powerful ability to destroy?Can the immune cells of the twisted tree not be beaten?Fungi can actually affect so many trees, which is really incredible. In principle, even if it can affect one or two trees, it cannot affect so many ... Twisted trees should evolve corresponding resistance. They With such a huge size and sufficient nutrients, if it is infected with a small organism, the fungus can quickly spread and kill it, but the huge twisted tree should have enough time to react and make immune cells. Why can't it fight the fungus?

The fungus destroyed the internal structure of the twisted tree, making the tree unable to resist lightning. Although Lynn didn't know how they were originally resistant to lightning, it happened anyway.

Lin seemed to understand something suddenly.

'Sympathy', Lin's mood when she extinct a species.

Lin began to feel that this mood was obstructing, which would prevent its normal judgment and combat. Lin thought that it was just telling herself about the enemy's situation.

But it seems that compassion is not that simple. It also explains the consequences of extinction of a species.

Is this the case?But now it seems too late.

The sounds of giant trees breaking and falling, and the flames beating on the wood exuded a wave of heat, which surrounded Leviathan. Now, Leviathan's vision is a burning scene.

In Lin's thoughts, the word 'regret' appeared. This disaster seemed to be caused by itself.

No, I won't regret it. Since it was caused by myself, then just stop it myself.

The darkness is not affected, it seems that the fungus does not spread over there, because the Chibucha's cave is mainly located in the ground of the glittering woodland, and the flame did not burn there.

So, there is still a chance ...

Leviathan looked closely at a piece of burning wood next to it, and when some large raindrops fell on the flame of the wood, the dripped flame would instantly disappear, but it quickly ignited again.

Sure enough, water can make the flame disappear.

But the water droplets of the raindrops are too scattered, and one drop is too small. Is this why the flame cannot be extinguished?So what if there is a lot of water?

Leviathan split the carapace on the back, a lot of rain gathered and was inhaled by Leviathan, and the water finally gathered at the muzzle of its front section.

'boom!'A huge water ball was shot from the muzzle. It directly hit a section of Leviathan in front of the burning wood. The flames hit by the water ball instantly dissipated and disappeared, leaving only a ray of green smoke.

As it turns out, fruits are effective.

Leviathan used the water cannon's attack to blast a passage through the flames and returned to the base in this way.

Lin did not intend to extinguish the flames of the entire flashing woodland. That is too much. Lin ’s current arms cannot absorb water and extinguish fires like Leviathan. If you want to transform it, I do n’t know how long it will take.

Crossing the river and returning to the base, Lin found that the headworm was staying at the entrance of the base. As soon as she saw Lin, she made anxious and happy cry.

"Far, cracked wood, death, leader, alive, cave."

Lin now knows that 'Far' seems to refer to flame, and the head worm should mean: "Flame burns on cracked wood and will cause death, but Leviathan, the" leader ", survived and returned to the cave in.

It seems that it will be happy for Leviathan's survival.

Very interesting, what kind of weird thinking is this?But Lin now has to research other things first.

Those fungi.

Leviathan returned to a cave dedicated to decomposition and research in the cave, and began to study fungi.

From the twisted trunk, Lin got a lot of fungi. During the process of decomposition and research, although this creature will produce toxins and have strong lethality, it is still very simple for Lin to kill them.

However, it does n’t make sense for Lynn to kill them. Lin wants to give Twisted Trees or Moss the ability to kill fungi, because Lynn cannot help every Twisted Tree or Moss to kill this fungus.

Therefore, Lin wants to 'exercise' them. Here Lin also has some moss that was collected from the outside. The fungus inside has been killed by Lin, but this moss does not have the immune cells to defeat the fungus.

Lin must find a way to make it produce immune cells. It only needs to put a small amount of fungi into the moss body. They are not harmful, but they can still allow the moss immune system to react to exclude it.

In this case, maybe the moss can evolve, and then let this moss reproduce with other moss, then it will produce a new kind of moss that is not afraid of fungi. By the time, maybe the flash woodland can be covered with moss again. , Lin can also experiment with twisted trees.

Large evolutions are caused by countless small evolutions.

In addition, Lin has to study a special thing: flames.

The flame is quite special. Lynn thinks it was born of lightning, but it will continue to burn and continue to spread after the lightning disappears.

In other words, although lightning provides it with initial energy, it can continue to grow with wood as energy, which is very different from other substances.

Lin has a feeling that if she studies 'flame', she seems to gain a very special power.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
