4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Countless mushroom trees broke apart and scattered under a strong explosion, the dragon's body shattered under the pressure of the air waves, and the art creator once again carved traces of art on this world.

Sure enough, this flying dragon is quite fragile.

Looking at the huge body turning into powder, Behemoth slowly landed on the explosion point, releasing some flying people near the broken bones of the dragon to devour and decompose it.

This fungus can spread quite deep, there are many hyphae extending into the bone, most creatures like to use some structures in the bone as hematopoietic organs and immune organs, this flying dragon will only change because the fungus affects here It's so ... thin.

Plague fungi can replace immune cells to kill other invading organisms or viruses, but they also affect the structure of the organism itself, and then the organism becomes fragile.

In this way, it is also the reason that the fungus monsters in the ground are easily burned, and the fungus really has many drawbacks.

This flying dragon is not the largest. Lynn thinks it can continue to grow. In fact, some reptiles have no growth limit, they are growing for life, as long as it has not died due to accidents, it can grow for a long time. , As for how long?It is still difficult to know.

How long they can last is still a mystery. Generally speaking, they will always die due to various fungi or viruses, or be eaten by other creatures. If there is a chance ... maybe they can grow to a considerable size.

The little dragon should take care of it and see how big it can grow. Now the head worm is teaching it to breathe fire. This may be difficult.

After this, Lin continued to attack the island, the phagophages continued to spread, engulfing the mushroom tree, and the phage underground also expanded and engulfed the fungus balls.

At present, fungi are unable to form an effective counterattack.

However, they are indeed looking for ways to fight back.

The "heartbeat" of the fungus ball that was getting faster and faster suddenly started to become slower and slower, and even stopped completely at the end. Lin was a little strange how this happened. Lin first let the predator cut some fungus balls, but found out A wonderful thing ...

The fungus inside is gone ...

The fungus ball became hollow, like an empty egg shell, as did many non-jumping fungus balls, and the creature inside suddenly disappeared.

Why is it gone?Was it digested?The digestion speed should not be so fast, or are these originally empty?But in front Lin had devoured a lot of things that were not empty.

The same is true on land. Lin found that the mycelium covering the ground began to fade slowly, and the huge mushroom tree turned into an empty shell like a fungus ball.

These mushrooms seem to have digested themselves, completely turning themselves into an empty shell, and pushing the whole tree down to the ground, but Lin did not find where the digested nutrients went ...

But Lin can now guess that their intention to do so should be to prevent the spread of phagophages. The phagophages grow completely by phagocytic fungi. If they empty the nearby balls and trees, the phagophage can't continue to grow.

However, the bacteriophage can also move like a slime, although it is relatively slow, and Lin found that slowly not only the balls and trees around the bacteriophage, but also the balls and trees elsewhere. The plague fungus seems to decide to digest a large number of trees or fungus monsters ...

But where have they been digested?Was it transported through some small pipe?At present, Lin has not found anything. The most strange thing is that if Lin is injected into some undigested trees or fungal balls to observe the micro-arms, the fungus will not do this kind of action. It seems that once it is invaded by a foreign body Stop this self-digestion.

The swarms of Chibucha were also moving. They began to dig the ground continuously, as if they wanted to dig deeper into the ground.

Lynn didn't care much about these things. She slowly devoured the whole island. Sooner or later, they would find their hiding place.

Now, several days and nights have passed ...

After this, Lin ’s progress was quite smooth. The plague fungi did not carry out any effective attacks. They seemed to be “shrinking”, and no fungi appeared again. Almost all the fungi on the island were constantly disappearing. They disappeared. It ’s weird. I ca n’t find any smell or any other traces. Lin wondered if they are indented underground. Although there are no traces on the ground, she still plans to dig deeper with some arms.

This is a relatively slow process. The island is too big, because there is no fierce fighting, Lin turned her attention back to the 'Dinosaur Continent'.

Recently, the headworm stated that it wanted to "see" Monte II and meet face to face. However, because Monte II had the risk of hiding the fungus, Lynn did not intend to take it back to the mainland.

Lin didn't pay attention to this problem, but about ... the skeleton.

Lin's pterosaurs have been staying with the skeletal dragons, and occasionally help them hunt. For example, if they find prey in the high altitude, the skeletal dragon also completely treats the pterosaur as a ... wonderful existence.

Why is it wonderful?They treat pterosaurs differently than ordinary members. For example, they will give pterosaur food first, or pile a lot of bones next to pterosaurs. They also built a shed for pterosaurs, but Piles of bones.

It feels amazing, they seem to treat pterosaurs as something more special than the leader.

Among the skeletal dragons, Tucker and Lynn's pterosaurs are relatively close. It prefers to stay with Lynn's pterosaurs, like talking, and its hut is also next to the pterosaur's hut.

Now, this day is a very special moment. The leader of the dragon brings all the members together, and they will make a special decision.

To leave this place.

During the recent war with the fungus, Lin has been observing the situation here. The prey capture rate of skeletal dragons is not very high. They live on the border of this salt wasteland, and there are very few prey. They usually will There are several consecutive days and nights where the prey cannot be obtained. Although it is not known why they chose this place at the beginning, the leader has already felt that he has to leave. Recently, many consecutive days and nights, they have not found their prey.

After spending some time with them, Lin understood some of their words, and indeed they did not have complicated words, but they still contained various meanings.

Lin tried to teach them some headworm words, but they are difficult to understand. It is estimated that it has nothing to do with the language in the brain. Even so, they have their own language.

Now, the dragons are forming a circle in the shed, and a few cubs are playing near them. At this time, the dragon leader is speaking in the middle.

"Quack, woo, click, click." The leader made a variety of sounds, which roughly meant to say that he was going far away, and at the same time decided which way to go. Suddenly, he lifted his forelegs far away Pointed, and shouted at the same time.

At this time, the skeletal dragons around the hunting also immediately screamed.

At this moment, they decided to go in the direction of the barren salt sea!

Lin thought that it would be better to go to the forest or the river, but Lin would not interfere with their decision. They seemed to prefer areas where species were less dense than areas rich in species, perhaps avoiding predators.

Although skeletal dragons will use a variety of things to fight, they are not very powerful. Tucker's original skeletal dragon group is relatively bold.

After the leader decided to travel, all the skeletal dragons began to prepare. They first took out a lot of things in their shed.

Lin found that they would collect a lot of things, usually sharp stones, dinosaur claws or horned horns, etc. These things are not necessarily used, but they like to pile these things together.

On leaving, they did not know which one to take away.

Their bodies can store more energy, so they can endure hunger for a long time, so they are not very anxious now.

And they have a way to preserve food.

Skeleton wrapped some meat with salt and buried it under the hot sand under the sun. This method can remove moisture from the meat and make the meat dry, salty and hard. It seems to be able to keep it for a long time. But it will become very ... unpalatable.

Mainly it will be very salty. 'Salty' is used to describe the sense of taste. Brain worms occasionally refer to this word. Taste is also considered to be a sense of touch. Most arthropods and reptiles have organs dedicated to taste. Call it 'Tongue'.

Taste is used to distinguish whether food is harmful. Some creatures can even sense distant targets through taste, but like head worms will have some feelings of taste to the brain. Members of this skeletal group also have this performance. They I will like different tastes.

Sometimes they even like to eat too much food that produces a certain taste, but they still like to eat it. Head worms are quite fond of grilling. This seems to be because their brains become bigger and they are easily affected by these feelings, but they lose their judgment. ability.

However, skeletal dragons are more "sane" than headworms. They know that eating too much can be harmful.

Before they bury the meat, they still have to do a lot of things, such as cutting off some parts of the meat, not all parts of the meat can be used, they must be carefully selected, Lin is curious how they learned these things, this It should also have a lot to do with them living on the Yanbian.

However, eating this kind of very salty food will lead to lack of water. The skeletal dragon uses a relatively flexible dinosaur skin to make a bag shape for storing water.

After finishing, each skeletal dragon brought a lot of things, most of which were wrapped around the body with plant roots, dried meat, bone chips, stones, and water bags.

Now, they will face the endless white desert ...
