4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 127
Is the head beetle group?Leviathan speeded up and flew to the crown of a twisted tree closest to them.
The growth of twisted trees is very peculiar. They grow to a certain height, usually more than thirty meters, and they will start to grow in a rotating coil to form a wide disc with a diameter of more than ten meters. This trunk is composed of The disc is the 'crown' of the twisted tree, it is usually covered with leaves, and its load carrying capacity is also very strong, which can easily carry the weight of Leviathan.
Leviathan folded his wings and walked to the edge of the canopy to look down. He saw that the creatures painted by the head worms were walking around on the ground, looking left and right, as if searching for prey.
They are very similar to cockroaches standing on their upper body. They are about one meter long. They feel quite small, and there are only five. Lin estimated that the community of headworms is not very large.
Lynn rolled up the head bug with its tentacles, so that it could see these creatures too.
"Confirm the smell of the ethnic group and start communicating." The head worm suddenly became excited, and it made a very sharp call. Lin hadn't heard this call yet, and it was estimated to be used exclusively to communicate with the same kind.
However, those few "common families" did not respond. They still did the same thing under the trees as before, not paying attention to the sound of the head worm.
The head bug's voice continued for a while, but the following bugs didn't look at this side at all, and ran away after a while.
Do head worms admit that they are wrong?I feel this is unlikely.
"Communication failed." The emotion of the head worm became lost: "The reason is that there are other head worms that cause information conflicts. Among the two messages, the ethnic group prefers the new head worm."
Lin felt that the emotion of the head bug's "loss" seemed very strong. This emotion occasionally led to some weird behaviors, such as tumbling around, but this time the head bug did not do that, because Lin held down with her tentacles. Got it.
However, their ethnic group seems a bit strange. When there are two headworms, will the new one be given priority?Generally speaking, don't the old ones have more knowledge?
"Looking for a new headworm of the ethnic group, trying to return to the ethnic group, Lin, together?" The feeling of loss of the headworm slowly disappeared. Lin found that no matter how heavy an emotion is, it would switch in a short time.
"Together." Leviathan put the headworm back on his back, and then spread his wings again, flying to the sky above the jungle. Lin was about to ask where the headland of the headworm was, but by this time it had already seen that in the forest The few insects in between are heading to some rocky hills in the distance
Running away, Leviathan immediately flew in the direction of those rocks.
The rock mountains are more than 20 meters high and more than 10 meters wide. They seem to be a mixture of mud and rock. There are some small holes about half a meter in diameter below.
Three such rock mountains are located in a small open space among the twisted trees, and Lin can see the heads and worms in and out of the group.
Sure enough, it is not a big community. It may have been big. After all, they have defeated the Aztecs, but because of what happened, they are so small, or is this just a branch?
"The territory of the ethnic group found that a sticky rock, approaching the queen, got the information."
After seeing these rock mountains, the headworm became excited again. Leviathan landed beside a rock mountain. When Leviathan touched the ground, a large number of insects suddenly burst out of the rock mountain, surrounding Leviathan. live.
Lynn found that they were all in a form, with their upper body erected, their forelimbs bladed and covered with small barbs, and moved with four arthropods. This creature was called an "infantry" by headworms, and seemed to be a very common use. Hunting units.
These 'infantry's seem to regard Leviathan as an enemy, and they are constantly waving their forelimbs, ready to attack.
"The ethnic groups reacted violently and sent signals of peace, not enemies."
Lin smelled that the head worms released a strong odor, and all infantry began to slowly retreat a certain distance after feeling the scent, and lowered their forelegs, as if losing their fighting spirit.
It turns out so ... Lin looked at this phenomenon and found it very interesting. Even among her peers, are there so many complicated ways of communication?The same kind of 'Lin' is 'Lin', so Lin actually never had any communication until he met headworm.
"After distinguishing, start calling the new headworm-Mktu." Then, the headworm made a sharp voice like before, and after a while, a white flesh appeared at the mouth of the rock mountain.
Is this the new headworm called "Mktu" by the headworm?
'Mktu' is a special name for headworms. It's a strange way of calling it, it seems to refer specifically to an individual, not to that kind of creature or race.
Headworm looked at Muktu and produced a strange mixed emotion, which seemed to have various emotions such as anger, happiness, excitement, etc.
For every emotion of a creature, the organs in its body will produce some liquid substances corresponding to its emotions. Lin ’s sense of smell can smell this substance, and judges whether this emotion of this creature is heavy or not, but at the same time it produces Feeling emotional, Lynn met for the first time.
The new headworm 'Mktu' also had a puzzled and surprised look at Leviathan and the headworm on his back.
"Old head bug, Maya."
Mktu uttered a few words with complex emotions.
Lin has seen some creatures change their voices when their emotions fluctuate, but headworms do n’t. They are almost always a tone, but in fact their emotions are quite rich in their thoughts.
Lin's headworm seems to be called 'Maya', as if every headworm has a specific name.
"Mktu." The head bug rolled from Leviathan's back and fell in front of Leviathan and said to Mktu: "Lin, there is no threat. Take me here and see the group."
"Unprecedented, wonderful creature." Mktu looked at Leviathan in disbelief, then turned his attention to the headworm, and rolled to the headworm.
Are they all moving like this?
Now, both of them stare at each other with their eyes, but neither side makes a sound.
"Competition, leader."
After looking at each other for a while, the head worm and Mktu spoke the same word at the same time.
"Competition?" Lin questioned the head bug.
The headworm said: "Among the ethnic groups, there is only one headworm, but if there is more than one, the competition, the victory, the strong, the ruling group, the loser, and leaving the group."
In this way, is it similar to the competition of ordinary creatures, letting the stronger be the leader, this method helps evolution and the strength of the ethnic group, but how do the two headworms compete?Would n’t it be faster for the two to roll?(To be continued.
