4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
281 The Beautiful Side of the Plague
Monte II looked at the beetles in the water curiously ...
Their body length is about five centimeters, and their armor is as crystal-clear as it is, and there is star-like fluorescence in the carapace. They swim around in the water and collect some silk threads that glow in the water.
Monte II is most concerned about whether this can be eaten.
In the past, it had other arms to "test poison" for it. Its army once swarmed everything like a storm, but now it has become more timid. If it dies, the entire Aztec Insects are extinct, they have no other ethnic groups.
Monte II was hesitating, and the glowing little beetles in the water also noticed it. These beetles seemed to be frightened, and immediately fled to the deeper waters.
After watching Monte II for a while, he decided to leave.
It tried to find other foods in this glowing jungle of mushrooms, maybe some normal food.
In the jungle, it flies slowly. Everything here is so novel. The deeper it gets, the more creatures it gets. In front of Monte II, a large group of fish like fish floats, but it can swarm in the air. Swimming floating creatures, on the ground covered with glowing floss, gathered a group of small creatures, they look like some small larvae, but the action speed is very fast.
The characteristics of these creatures are the same. They have light spots like stars. The positions of these light spots are regularly arranged on them. Although the positions of the light spots of each kind of creature are different, they all emit the same. Blue light.
fantastic.
Monte II's brain recorded the information of all its ancestors before, but none of them had seen such creatures and jungles.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Monte II heard a strange sound, right in the jungle ahead, but he didn't think much of it.
Curiosity is necessary, but fear is also important. Monte II struggled to choose between the two. It took a second, and finally decided ... Look at it!
It speeds up its wings, flying over a group of fluorescent jellyfish, passing through several huge mushrooms, chasing the sound, it came to a strange place.
This is an open space in the forest, all the piles on the ground are facing one direction-a ball in the center of the open space.
This sphere is white. It has a diameter of about five meters. It is quite huge. All the wires are connected to this white sphere. The sphere is still expanding and expanding. When it swells to a certain degree, At the sound of 'Bang' burst, many white pompons with a diameter of about one meter flew out of them. These pompoms flew to the sky with the impact of the explosion, and then flew away with the wind.
Did the pom-pom I saw before fly out from here?They seem to be related to this jungle.
Although the pompon feels dangerous, the jungle here feels no danger at all.
Monte II felt very strange. Next, it found many similar giant spherical structures in the nearby jungle. They swelled and exploded, and then released a lot of pompoms, which flew with the sea breeze. Go out of the island and fly to other places.
Monte II didn't really care where they would float. It didn't go too deep into the island, but returned to the beach. It was already planning to start growing its own community here.
Monte II dug continuously on the beach with his arthropods, and after digging a hole enough to insert itself, he laid three eggs in it, and then he buried them with sand.
Then, Monte II searched for food near the beach. He was only worried about the food he saw. It dug many shellfish creatures hidden in the gravel on the beach, as well as some snails and arthropods. It looks very rich.
Monte II used his forelegs to break up these things and then eaten them. Apart from partly digesting for himself, part of it remained in the body.
In this way, Monte II lived here. It dug under the ground to enlarge the cave under the beach during the day, and came out in the night to find marine food. In addition to digging shellfish on the beach, it also went to catch some in shallow water. Fish.
It doesn't eat so much food by itself, it will use a special anti-bacterial liquid to mix it together, make it into a ball and put it in the cave, and it also lays more eggs.
Although it is a brain, it can also live independently.
Of course, it doesn't like to live independently, so it looks forward to the moment when the ethnic group recovers.
After a few days and nights, the earliest eggs laid by Monte II began to hatch. They started not as adults, but as white larvae like worms. This larvae had sharp jaws but were slow. It cannot be used for combat, but they can be used to secrete a mucus and strengthen the structure of the entire cave.
At the same time, they can also be used to dig deep caves. At this time, the larvae need to eat the food prepared by Monte II for them, and then they will slowly grow.
After a few days and nights, more eggs hatched, and Monte II needed to catch more food. Although it was a bit hard, it calculated the number of larvae that its capture ability could bear, so it did not lay too many. Eggs, slowly, some of the longer, larger larvae began to wrap themselves with a silk thread, and they began to deform into an insect shape inside.
This process only takes two days and nights, and the adult worms will dig out the silk that wraps around themselves and drill out of it.
Although all are small breeds, Monte II finally has his own army!
It allowed the first three adults to dig shellfish continuously during the night to get more food. Recently, Monte II found a large gathering place of small marine worms in a piece of sand on the beach. The Monte II group began to explode. It produced more eggs and laid some large and flying eggs. When the opportunity was ripe, Monte II also planned to create a deep sand bus so that it could be here. The island is invincible.
Invincible?
Monte II is currently unclear about the state of the island and is unable to make a final conclusion.
When there were more than ten troops, Monte II let some adults into the jungle and tried to swallow some mushrooms,
After eating the mushrooms, these adults did not seem to have any problems and could easily digest these mushrooms.
After this, Monte II began to let the troops eat mushrooms, and the nest on the beach was ready to be transferred to the forest.
But just as it walked into the forest with its troops, eggs, and larvae, it found that a large group of creatures surrounded it ...
It was the little beetle that Monte II had seen before.
