4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Episode 266
Lynn watched the phagocytes slowly grow, engulfing the fungi of the whole island, the nutrients and water they needed to grow, all from the fungi.
If this is a plague fungus, then the bacteriophage is the plague of the fungus.
All the dust on the bacteriophage is slowly eroded away. The lysate secreted by the plague fungus is very rare, but it is not without a corresponding method. The lysate of the bacteriophage can even convert it into nutrients.
In this way, eventually the bacteriophage will replace the plague fungus to cover the whole island, and then it will gradually grow larger at its core, gather all the nutrients together, and form a huge egg, and then Behemoth can Its recycling, this nutrient can also be used to do many things.
In this way, Lynn can use all the plague fungi, although I do n’t know how many islands these fungi will have, but at least do n’t worry about their infection. Next, Lin let the bomber and Behemoth solve it nearby. After several fungal islands, Lin found that some islands have been infected for a long time. In the case of nutrient depletion, the fungus still relies on rainwater and attracts flying fish or sea creatures on the island to live for a long time, relying on occasional flying Creatures, they can spread the dust to a considerable distance.
Behemoth then continued to sweep the nearby islands with the bombers using phagocytes. After these islands are cleaned up, plants should grow out again, but they must be completely cleaned. Lynn found some hyphae Extending deep into the ground, they seem determined to exhaust all nutrients, but phagophages can also grow mycelium-like tentacles and follow the mycelium to extend deep into the ground.
They are struggling to live on, and Lin is trying to exterminate them. I don't know when this war will last?But as long as there are fungi, Lynn will fight them, because their life is an extinction.
And their nutrients are sufficient and quite useful. Although the ashes can be eaten after being burned with fire, the nutrients are much less, and they still eat the most nutrients alive.
While Behemoth is working hard, Leviathan is also slowly exploring.
At this time, Leviathan also found some interesting creatures in the jungle.
Leviathan is now located deep in the jungle, where the trees are relatively far apart, suitable for large animal activities, Lin saw a second large creature outside the dome dragon, this creature is called a stone beast dragon, is a The species is about 2.2 to 3 meters in length and 1.7 meters in height. Obese creatures, Lin estimates that each has a weight of about two tons, which is a very large creature.
The creature's mouth has two long teeth, and they are walking in groups in the forest. They use this pair of long teeth to dig out the structure of the bark to eat the inside. They are also used to dig the roots of some short plants.
There is also a small creature beside the stone beast dragon. Lin called it a "shield dragon". This kind of dragon head seems to be hardened like a ball. They move on four limbs and are only half the size of the stone beast dragon. They followed the stone beast dragon to eat the debris they dug and a small plant.
There is a simple symbiotic relationship between these two kinds of plant eaters. Lin found that many of these reptilian evolutions like to eat plants. They prefer to eat these creatures that will not move or hide, instead of fighting with other animals. This makes Lin feel that they are weaker than the arthropods. They do not have armor and hydraulic systems like the arthropods. The skin is relatively thick and lacks many attack methods. All they have to do is dig the plants, which is quite Simple.
But plants are not easy to deal with. Although they have no brains, they will come up with many ways.
Lin found that most of the plants in this jungle are poisonous. They are usually non-toxic. They secrete toxins only when the leaves and bark are torn, some grow a lot of spikes, and some produce a very irritating Strong ingredients, called 'spicy'.
This is very different from the twisted jungle. Although twisted trees can defend against fire and lightning, they are not poisonous by themselves, which is related to the large arthropods not eating them.
And now Lin is not quite sure what is going on with the plant that will shoot out the "Excited Needle".
But Lin found it interesting not to them, but to another creature tracking these phytoplankton.
Because the plants are poisonous, these phytoplankton will not eat the same tree for too long, they will shift their target before it secretes too much toxin, it can be said that it is a bite from the east and a small carnivorous creature They follow behind.
This creature is called "primitive dragon" by Lynn.
These creatures stand on their legs, move quickly, and are very small. They are only about 1.7 meters long. They are small creatures about 50 kilograms. They will use sharp claws to climb up the trees. Now there is a primitive dragon hiding in the branches In between, observe the group of stone beast dragons below.
Leviathan can detect that there are more than 30 similar species in its vicinity, but all of its species maintain a motionless posture. Only a primitive dragon is quietly moving between the branches, following the shield-headed dragon and Group of stone beast dragons.
Such species are usually highly intelligent, and are good at defeating larger opponents with small but weak bodies, and have the value of observation.
The tracked primitive dragon is staring closely at the stone beast dragon walking at the back. This stone beast dragon is smaller in size and slower in movement. It is a good target to start. When this creature slowly walks to the primitive When the dragon is below ...
"Wow quack!" Suddenly, the primitive dragon shouted, and all the companions around it instantly ... escaped, they quickly jumped among the trees, and they all fled without a trace, and the stone beast under the tree The dragons and shield-headed dragons also looked frightened and ran furiously through the jungle.
After a while, all the creatures in the jungle escaped ...
Of course, it is not without reason that they all escaped.
A huge creature suddenly rushed out of the jungle. It is about four meters tall and has an estimated length of twelve meters. This giant beast is covered with dark red scales, standing on the thick hind limbs, and the forelimbs are thick and sharp. The claws, open mouths are covered with sharp teeth, this creature is called by Lynn 'tyrant lizard' is a large predator.
The predator among the dinosaurs, Lin feels not as imposing as the large arthropods, which may be related to too few legs.
It rushed out late, and the surrounding creatures ran out, so the carnivorous monster targeted Leviathan observed nearby and suddenly rushed over.
'Bang'!
A explosive bomb of Leviathan exploded beside the head of the tyrant lizard. The dissolving liquid made its scales show corroded scars, but it rushed up without fear.
Lin's explosive bomb just wanted to make it want to run away, but looking at the violent look of this tyrant lizard, Lin speculated that it might have something to do with the red tree, which made these creatures crazy.
The tyrant lizard rushed up and bite sharply over Leviathan's head armor. Leviathan's carapace actually showed some cracks under the weight of its bite force, and some of the structures began to slowly crack. .
Leviathan ’s armor is not very thick in order to fly, and it seems that it has n’t been updated in a long time, but Lin is also surprised by the strength of this creature. This kind of muscle structure and hydraulic system without arthropods can reach this level. Bite force?
At this time, the tyrant lizard began to shake his head violently and tore off a carapace on Leviathan ’s head with strong force, and Leviathan ’s wound did not bleed out. Before being torn, Lynn Stopped the blood vessels.
Arthropods have more dissolution or venom or something, and reptiles prefer power. The tyrant lizard spits out the carapace in his mouth and roars again to bite at Leviathan ’s wound. At this moment, Leviathan suddenly stretched out. More than a dozen tentacles came out, completely wrapping the mouth and head of the tyrant lizard.
The monitor lizard shook his head violently, trying to break free of the tentacles, while Lynn let all tentacles firmly fix its head at the same time, and opened its mouth.
Then Lin threw a explosive bomb into her mouth with a tentacle.
This new type of explosive bomb was developed based on the creature "Explosive Stinger" that had been seen before. The explosive bomb slid into the mouth of the monitor lizard and eventually rolled into the digestive organs, which is usually called 'stomach'.
Then ... 'Boom!'.
The explosive bomb did not explode, but suddenly a large number of spikes grew from its surface, instantly piercing the stomach of the tyrant lizard, and the huge pain made it emit a fierce roar.
Leviathan let go of his tentacles, and the Tyrant Lizard suddenly fell to the ground, struggling with pain. Lin thought that it would continue to attack. Was the pain the priority?
'Swoosh'
Suddenly, Lin heard the sound of a sharp object passing through the air, and a sharp wooden thorn as long as 1.5 meters stuck in the wound of Leviathan's head.
Lin felt that the end of the wooden thorn was also coated with a venom, which seemed to be a neurotoxin. Even if Lin did not deliberately expel it, it would have little effect on Leviathan, but what about the wooden thorn?Lin noticed when she was fighting the Tyrant Lizard, that certain creatures were ambushing nearby, preparing for a sneak attack.
This creature is now hiding between the branches. It seems to be wondering why Leviathan did not fall down and dared not show up. Not only the toxins, but the head of the general creature is the position of the brain, which can be said to be the key, but Leviathan Without a brain, in fact, even if the heart explodes, Lin can control the flow of blood vessels without dying. The only way to kill Lin ’s arms is massive bleeding. If there is too much water, there is no way to repair it, but if it is soaked in water Here is another situation.
In this case, Lin immediately let Leviathan lie on the ground, her tentacles scattered around weakly, showing a poisoned look.
The creature on the tree was puzzled again for a while, watching Leviathan kept moving until it started to crawl out ... At the same time, there were more than a dozen of its kind on the tree, and they slowly jumped from the tree. Next, approached Leviathan and the tyrant lizard still rolling on the ground.
