4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 230: The Last Season

This sense of shock is not at the location of Behemoth and the head worm, but at ... the mountain?

The collapse continued until near the foot of the mountain, but it did not actually spread to the area with hot springs and hot water, but stopped outside.

In other words, the canyon formed in the underground world has been extended to this position and stopped.

But now, a large number of cracks have appeared on the rock wall at the end of the canyon. These cracks are getting bigger and bigger, causing continuous vibration of the ground. Just like an earthquake, it seems that something will come out.

It seems that because the collapse has just ended, there may be ground instability everywhere. Like this phenomenon, Lin has a familiar feeling. This feeling is more commonly used in the sea ...

'boom!'Suddenly, at the crack of the burst, a large amount of black liquid suddenly poured out!

These black liquids emit a burst of smoke, which seems to be very high temperature. The one that burst into the sea made a sound of "Bah ...", and a huge amount of steam suddenly rose from the sea.

These liquids are more common in the potholes at the foot of the mountain. Lin believes that they contain a lot of toxic ingredients, resulting in no plants growing at the foot of the mountain, but there are many fungi and some small beetles and other creatures in the activity.

These sprayed liquids seem to be more viscous than potholes. It can be said that they are a kind of black mud. When they are poured into the icy water in large quantities, they not only generate a lot of steam, but also are affected by the temperature of the water. hardening.

The mud in the water solidified and became a hardened structure like a rock, and a large amount of mud was still gushing out of the crack. The mud solidified in the water, so the piles were higher and higher, and eventually piled on the water surface.

It seems that this problem must be solved.

Suddenly, the water suddenly burst out a giant creature that was spinning continuously, and it directly hit the cliff crack that was spraying mud.

Lin ’s pioneers have replaced most of the crust during the days and nights when the sea rushed into the underground world and collapsed, and swam to this position. Originally, Lin wanted to use it to detect lava under the mountain, but This is the time to deal with this problem.

'boom!'

The Blazers' impact hit a bigger hole directly in the crack, the high temperature mud suddenly burst out, but Lin did not feel any heat at all, let alone scalded, it looks like the carapace of the purgatory worm really Very effective.

Then the Blazers swung their heads up and down, drilling the cave wider and letting more mud gushes out, then the Blazers turned their heads back into the water, rotating their bodies to crush the solidified mud at the bottom of the water to make the mud Cannot pile up in the water, so the mud will continue to pour into the water.

In this way, the Blazers constantly crushed the solidified mud that was flushed into the water, so that the mud will not pile up and will continue to pour into the water. Finally, the mud spouting from the hole on the cliff began to decrease, and slowly stopped Down.

As Lin thought, the mud content is not very much, and instead of blocking it, it is better to let it leak light.

The mud fragments crushed by the Trailblazers have blackened large waters, but the mud is toxic, but it is only for some creatures. Unlike the toxins in the sea, many creatures can decompose these muds, which is basically not right. What damage caused by the water in the canyon may attract more creatures.

However, because it is cracked here, Lin is not very able to use the trailblazer to drill into the foot of the mountain. I do n’t know if there will be any problems. If it causes lava to explode, it ’s not very good.

Thinking, Lin let the Blazers swim in the direction of the sea.

…………

After this little incident, everything became calm again ...

There was no collapse, no major incidents occurred, a large number of creatures quickly adapted to this newly emerged canyon, some creatures nested here, began to hunt and live on it, and the huge home tree was affected by a large number of flying creatures Love, they compete for the location of various nests on it.

In addition to dragonflies, there are also beetles and cockroaches that can fly, but Lin recently discovered some flying reptiles. A thin film grows between their limbs and can fly briefly in the air.

Flying creatures occupy the home trees, and many creatures that originally liked to live by the river enter the waters of the canyon. These creatures are generally just hunting inside, but there are also creatures like land sharks that can adapt to both freshwater and seawater. They can go to the sea through this gorge, so that the sea will recover faster, this collapse may be a good thing.

In addition to researching these creatures, Lin also specially studied the species of 'Ancient Squid'.

After the group of ancient squids took the oocyst last time, Lin found that they hid under a safe rock, and then started fighting with each other, as if fighting for the sac. Finally, the strongest pair of ancient squids got the one. bag.

The male and female of the ancient squid are identical in all aspects such as body shape and appearance. In fact, the appearance is basically indistinguishable. After spawning, the male and female will take turns to look for food and take care of the pups. They took out the eggs in their sacs and stuffed them with their eggs to hatch.

It seems to be a very weird move. Although Lin has seen many creatures take care of the same kind of pups, this is the first time the behavior of the ancient squid has been seen.

If the ancient squid finds an egg of the same kind and has no care, they will generally eat it. Although they generally do not eat the body of the same kind, the egg does not hesitate. They are willing to take care of it to indicate that the egg is very special.

It is necessary to continue to observe it.

There are many other ancient squids, they seem to intend to live in this canyon, they will use a variety of debris as a nest material, usually there are two to three pairs of ancient squid in a nest, but when hunting they will gather dozens of They are a kind of creature full of adventurous spirits. They prefer hunting to picking up corpses to eat. This is what makes Lin think that the ancient squid is a rapidly evolving creature with great observation value.

Generally, when the biological behavior is rich to a certain extent, its evolution speed will be much faster, just like the Inca swarm, they have been parasites for a long time, and have been changing slowly, but when they become a divisional species, the population evolution The speed suddenly rose sharply.

While Lin was observing the ancient squid, a lot of things happened around him. The head worm flew back to the clouds in an empty boat. It wanted to continue to play in the air and enjoy the landscape, while Mktu led the troops beside the canyon. A new rock mountain has been built, and the rich creatures here are very suitable for its ethnic group to develop more rapidly. Now, there have been more new recruits in the brain-headed insect group.

During this period, it was also a time of heavy storms. The sky was often covered with black clouds and lightning. The downpour was a whole day, but the next day there would always be a cloudless sky ... and flooding water.

Because the sea level is not higher than the cliff at the edge of the desert, it is always at a height of more than ten meters from the top of the cliff, so the sea water will not flood the canyon, but under the torrential rain, the water will always flood out and flood The surrounding jungle, but the jungle will soon form this water into a river to the desert, and then be absorbed by the endless gravel, which forms a special cycle.

When the desert becomes more and more humid, the twisted trees start to extend their roots to the desert. It is very slow for the twisted trees to start from a seedling, but if the root system is used to grow, the speed is quite fast, Lin It is believed that if the rainstorm continues, the twisted jungle may cover the entire desert.

During all these changes, the Inca swarm also woke up.

The time to leave has not yet arrived. The reason they wake up has other purposes. They explain to Lynn that they will not attack any creatures, just need to enter an area of ​​the jungle to dig.

Lin felt no problem. Lin found that the Inca swarms were excavated above the Chibucha lair in the glittering woodland. The way they excavated was really fun. Every time they made a pit with a spiral trapezoidal structure, they were in the pit Underneath excavated a peculiar stone, this stone is gray, and when it shines on it will reflect a very strong luster.

Lin had seen this kind of stone before, but didn't care much.

After the Inca swarm digs out these stones, they are all transported back into the desert giant pit, and all are arranged neatly on the spiral staircase surrounding the giant pit. It is said that this is what they used to leave.

Lin later discovered that during thunderstorms, lightning occasionally hit these strange stones as if they could attract lightning.

Other than that, nothing has been found. The Inca Swarm also stated that they discovered these stones by accident. They have never been used in history. The statue does not record these things, but the Inca Swarm said it should be able to Bounce them far away.

Bounce far away?Will this happen in a pile of stones?

However, Lin never thought about 'this kind of thing can't happen', but wanted to see what was going on.

Inca swarms do not seem to be very confirmed, this is their first attempt, if unsuccessful, they indicate that they will go to the ocean far away.

But it is not yet time, why?Because of the relationship with the ice and snow on the sea, the Inca swarm intends to leave in winter.

Speaking of ice and snow, Lin also noticed that half of the summer had passed.

Day and night passed slowly. This summer is not the same as before. The northern continent has undergone tremendous changes. Creatures have begun to live like never before, growing in a food-rich environment. Eventually, the end of summer has come Creatures are ushering in the moment that should be ended.
