4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
275 The Plague's Counterattack
"Dull creature, roar!"
Brain worms and little dragons are staying in one of the largest rooms in the rocky mountains on the edge of the jungle. Now they are doing some strange things, which the brain worms call 'learning'.
Most creatures can inherit the ability to produce their creatures, and Lin found that some dinosaurs, including the little flying dragon, are different. Some of their abilities need to be taught by "elders", otherwise they will not understand many things It is also one of the reasons why their brains are relatively large.
Because the little dragon has no elders, the head worm must come as an elder to teach the little dragon to do various things. Of course, the head worm does not know how to teach the little dragon, but it says that there is no problem.
"Gay!"
Xiao Fei Long immediately seemed to understand the meaning of Brain Worm, but it was also related to the fact that Brain Worm was constantly sending brainwave information. Xiao Fei Long opened his mouth and made a small voice.
"Wrong pronunciation, correct roaring, can make the momentum immense, even lethal, it should be like this."
With that, the head worm made a "beep--" sound, which was a special sound that it made with its bladder, as if everything was constantly shaking.
"Gay, quack!" Xiao Feilong seemed to be stimulated by this sound, showing a painful appearance, covering his hearing organs with his forelimbs.
"Understanding my teaching, there will be a future." The pronunciation of the head worm continued for more than ten seconds and then stopped, and Xiao Feilong's hearing organs finally got a rest.
But the head worm did not give the little dragon a rest, and it immediately said: "Twist the body, increase flexibility, and learn."
It said that the head of the headworm began to bend. Although its body seemed fat, it could touch its tail with the head, but it also had nothing to do with its skeleton.
After seeing it, Xiao Feilong learned to look like a head worm. It bit his tail with his head, but he couldn't reach it, and turned into chasing his tail in a circle.
Xiao Feilong shook his body and fell to the ground after turning for more than 60 laps.
"Behavior is good, resist dizziness." This time the headworm gave it a rest time of tens of seconds, and then continued: "Start to roll, follow suit."
Then the head bug rolled quickly on the ground, and Xiao Feilong also learned to roll a few times.
"Very good, tumbling, avoiding enemies, it works wonders."
Xiao Feilong seemed to know that the head worm was praising it. It ran excitedly towards the head worm and crawled to the head worm.
"Dull creatures, look ahead, and then you will learn the battle in the air, that is, the future."
The head bug threw the little dragon on the ground and let it look at the display in front.
The picture in the display is a large group of flying people, a total of 100 of them, flying at high speed in the air, and their task is to siege an island that is one kilometer wide and 500 meters long by the plague fungus.
Among the several fungus-infected islands discovered by Lin, this island is the largest. The above plants have not been completely decomposed, and there are many thick tree debris. Of course, these tree debris are also very suitable for use by fungi.
Before the pilots approached the island, the fungus on the island was ready. They used a large mushroom structure up to about three meters to aim at the air and used it as an "air defense cannon." They shot the wood chips by means of explosion, etc. Use high-speed sharp wood chips to shoot down the high-altitude flight.
As they approached the island, the pilots began to take off. They quickly rose in the starry sky under the night. As long as they reached an altitude of about one thousand meters, they were completely outside the range and perception of the fungus.
Lin discovered the way in which the fungus passed on the information. The fungus on one island was attacked. The other island would indeed know that they would release a lot of odor when attacked. This odor can make the island of fungus up to ten kilometers away. Perceived, produced a corresponding response.
This phenomenon has been found in many plants in the mainland, that is, if a plant is eaten by a herbivorous dinosaur, it will release odor, and the nearby plants will begin to secrete venom after feeling it.
However, the odor of the plague fungus is more interesting. It will secrete different odor information when it is attacked differently. For example, if it is attacked by fire, it will be one odor, and if attacked by a bacteriophage, it will emit another odor.
This kind of odor delivery is a recent one, and they didn't do it when they first attacked them.
They even know how to think, such as finding that the bacteriophage was brought by the flying person, so they know that they must shoot down the flying person first.
Lin did n’t see that the fungi had eye-like structures, but they did “observe” the surroundings. It ’s not clear how they “observe”, but it takes a long time from “observation” to “reaction”. Therefore, they need to provide advance warning of the attacked islands in order to defend well.
Although, the methods they use ... are not very good, but recently, these fungi have begun to appear more ways to defend.
Hundreds of pilots swooped down from high altitude, facing them were a large number of mushrooms standing up, and the heads of these mushrooms began to expand continuously after the pilots approached a distance of about three hundred meters. There was a loud noise all over the island, and countless pieces of exploded wood were shot at the flying people in the air.
The pilots changed their movements in an instant. They moved their bodies at high speed, flashing these flying wood chips.
The wood chips were not carefully aimed, but won by quantity, so there will still be many fliers who have nowhere to hide and are shot down by the wood chips shot by the fungus. On the island, this time the fungus will launch a second defense.
On the surface of the island, not only mycelium is covered, but also a furry and moss-like structure, which Lin calls it a 'gale carpet'. When the wreckage of the pilot approaches, they will release a super high Concentration of poisonous gas. This kind of poisonous gas is a violent toxin that allows cells to die quickly after being absorbed. Its role is mainly similar to lysate, which can decompose cells and make organisms rot.
The wreckage of the pilot fell on the malaria carpet, and soon was surrounded by a large amount of mycelium, and the bacteriophage above died as a result of absorbing the malaria gas.
These scattered phagocytes are too small to effectively filter the malaria.
Despite this, Lin still allows the pilots to rush to the island continuously. After the mushrooms of the plague fungus are blown up, they cannot continue to shoot. Many pilots successfully approached the island. They landed on the ground and surrounded by mycelium It curled up before it secreted a layer of hardening chitin, and then dissolved itself in the body, rapidly changing the structure inside.
The structure of the pilot is quite simple, and it changes very quickly. Soon, a new type of arms tore the chitin and crawled out of it. This type of arms was called by Lynn to be a "bacteriolyzer." A new, more powerful arm.
