4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
286 Flames and Fungi
The brilliance of the flame corresponds to the sunlight of the sky, spreading and burning in the fungal jungle.
Countless creatures rushed out of the forest. They are crazy, extremely aggressive, and have a large number. Although most of them are turned into burnt black bones under the fire of the predator, they never stop ...
"Goo ...!" A cystic fungus pounced on a group of fire-bearing predators, Lin immediately let the predators flash away, and the monster emptied and landed on the floor of the bacteriophage Above the ground, the amoeba's body swallowed it like a quagmire, and countless tiny troops surrounded this creature infected with fungi, and it will be decomposed and depleted under a huge amount of dissolving liquid.
But this is just one of them, and there are more small fungus monsters rushing out of the mushroom forest. They do not flinch from the flame spray of the predator. They rushed crazy with their bodies as the only ones. Means of attack.
The predators all stand on top of the bacteriophage. They spread out to face any enemy troops that rushed over. These rushed creatures will be swallowed by the bacteriophage even if they are not burned, and the rest will be It was burned to death by predators, but their powerful numbers have prevented Lin's Bacteriophage from expanding anymore.
Plague fungus, how many creatures are infected ...
On the north side of the bacteriophage, a large group of fungus monsters with a length of about one meter appeared. They rushed towards this side. Lin immediately let the surrounding predators gather and aimed the flame vent at this group. biological……
'call!'
With the brilliance of the flame, the flesh and blood of these creatures began to flake and collapse, and finally only a skeleton fell into the flame ...
Although this scenario will trigger some biological fears, such as the little flying dragon now staying in front of the display with the head worms, they will be scared to hide when they are burned with the remaining skeleton, but when they are burned, they are really fragrant. In this case, appetite may overcome fear.
If the head beetle is here, it may be crazy to eat it. If it is infected with fungus, I do n’t know what will happen. Lin feels that the head beetle may not be controlled by the fungus, or the fungus ca n’t handle its complex brain structure and cause both sides to die .
In any case, headworms must not be close to these fungi ...
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at the flaring fire and the crazy creatures.
Speaking of which, I don't know how many batches of 'fungus monsters'.
The plague fungus seems to infect a considerable number of species, but except for the larger one at the beginning, the others are not very large, basically similar to predators, and many are smaller.
The "fire-breathing" predator used by Lin now is about two meters long and less than one meter tall, but it can spray a fire column of nearly ten meters long. The fuel used is directly converted from the bacteriophage under him. , Lin uses this method to deal with the fungus that has always appeared.
Most of the fungus monsters are reptiles, and occasionally some arthropods are mixed, because their cortex and face are covered with a lot of fungi, they can hardly see what they are like, and their attack method is also very simple It is a collision. Some creatures with claws or teeth are covered with fungus because of their claws and mouths. They ca n’t use them anymore. They can only bump over and explode the fungus that covers themselves, and then release a lot of malaria.
But before that, they are usually burned out, or swallowed by phagocytes.
Lin ca n’t rely solely on burning or bacteriophage, because the green mycelium covering the ground ca n’t burn, and the bacteriophage may be able to swallow the first or second group of fungi, but they keep When the ground rushes, there will be a situation where it is hit by the next group without breaking down, which is not good.
Now, it seems that the attack is not so violent, only a few sporadic fungi are swaying around, Lin asks some predators to chase them, and the rest drags the roasted fragrant and charred ones. Come back to decompose the bacteriophage into nutrients.
Lin usually sees no signs of fungus activity, which means that they may be hidden in the ground and other places. These creatures may not be active at all. They will only appear when this fungus island is attacked.
I don't know if it was Chibucha or the fungus, but it is definitely necessary to investigate.
Now that the surrounding fungus monsters are resolved, the "Queen" at the center of the bacteriophage begins to produce more predators. The queen is twice as large as the average predator, and the production speed is very fast. Lin actually wanted to make every Every predator can be born, but putting a production organ is too obstructive and will seriously affect the combat ability, so it is concentrated on one body.
The queen gave birth to small predators. They can eat the nutritional balls of phagophages to grow quickly. Generally, arthropods need to shed their skins to grow, but the skins of small predators are always soft until they are fully mature. Hardened.
Relying on this rapid production method, we can continuously increase troops at the moment of war!The dead predators will also be recovered quickly, not at all.
Lin had considered enhancing the rebirth ability of the arms before. In fact, this ability is not very good. If you want to grow a forelimb, you need to eat the same weight of nourishment as the forelimb, but it is not grown casually. It is better to put more muscle in the space to put the nutrients in the reserve.
Now, Lin's troops quickly recovered and devoured. Near the night, Lin swallowed up a large number of fungus monsters-those roasted and fragrant debris.
These nutrients were formed into a force by Lin. Lin was going to use this force to explore the nearby underground. The burrows under the floating pom-poms should be the passage to the 'old nest' of the plague fungus.
Laowo also seems to be a very strange word, referring to a very old nest?
Lin dispatched a hundred predators first. They had both claws and spitfires. However, if they lost the phagophage's supply, they would not be able to spray their own fuel for many seconds, but just let them explore first.
Lynn found the nearest cave, which was bottomless and completely covered by darkness. The predators quickly rushed in. They sprinted at the fastest speed, no matter what traps were there.
Because they are used to trample traps.
Unexpectedly, there were no traps in it, and the originally narrow space became larger and larger. Lin made some predators shine, and the cave became brighter in an instant.
This cave ...
What a normal feeling.
Surrounded by rocks and mud, Lin thought the cave wall should be covered with fungi. There are indeed some hyphae on the cave wall, but not many. The whole cave is vertically down. Lin ’s predator can hook with claws. In the cave wall, it won't fall.
Since it is a vertical cave, those fungus monsters may not have climbed up from here, but Lin still wanted to see how deep.
Lin asked one of the predators to loosen her claws and fell down from the cave wall. The surrounding scenery passed by both sides of the predator at high speed, and stopped after a few seconds ...
'Snapped'.
The predator landed on a very soft ground without any harm.
The predator glanced down the light and found that the ground was really covered with mycelium, and there were quite a few ... Chibucha.
The moment the predator caught them, the bunch of Chibucha rushed over!They kept making sharp voices, intending to besiege predators.
They were greeted by a fire.
A group of Chibucha insects in front of the predator instantly fell into the sea of fire. The flame touched the ground covered by mycelium and burned instantly, brightening the whole area at once.
"Squeak!" A large swarm of Chibucha worms jumped from the ground, and they fell behind the predator, constantly biting on it with their forelimbs and mouth.
At the same time, another group of Chibucha worms came out of the cave. They all carried a mushroom. They ran to the flame and threw the mushroom on their back into the fire. These mushrooms exploded as soon as they touched the fire. A large amount of liquid exploded can extinguish a wide range of flames.
So it turns out, use this method to extinguish the fire?It feels really different from the plague fungus outside. Does Chibucha seem to have no way to tell the fungus to let the fungus secrete mucus to stop the flame?
So if the fire is too big, they can't stop this method!
At the next moment, all the predators on the upper rock wall jumped down. The moment they fell on the fungus carpet, they sprayed a flame around them, the combustion spread along the mycelium, and the Chibucha was thrown out. The little mushrooms couldn't stop the flames that so many predators sprayed out, and finally they simply lost the mushrooms and all escaped.
Through the brilliance of the flame, Lin discovered that this is a huge cave space, which seems to be quite wide, like the feeling of hollowing out the ground. Maybe this place is the same as all other caves under the pompon, hunting The big hole where the eaters jumped is just one of them ...
Now the light of the flame is slowly dissipating, and the mycelium on the ground is not very wide, but Lin is not prepared to burn it here so quickly, at least first study it.
The predators gather to move in one direction of the cave. If they are scattered, more can be observed, but they may be killed one by one.
Lin walked in a random direction. In this huge cave, there were pillars seemingly used for support. The pillars were surrounded by a lot of mycelium. Suddenly, Lin found that the two pillars were together. And there seems to be something between them.
The predators approach the middle of the pillar with light. The two pillars here have a large amount of mycelium to form a large spherical structure, and on this ball there is a clearly visible biological touch ...
This should be a fungus. Fungus seems to wrap these creatures in the ball and there is more than this one ...
The predators spread the light to the surrounding caves, and there were a large number of such creature-enclosed balls everywhere.
