4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 300 Creatures Between Animals and Plants

Bai Miaolong was hooking the claws of the rock with the claws of his limbs at this time. Lin saw his eyes glow slightly in this dark environment.

It seems that unlike the Tucker who likes to stay on land, the White Skeleton Dragon has mastered the method of accurately judging the environment in the dark, and Tucker has not yet seen the White Skeleton Dragon!

"Bah!" With a scream, the white skeletal dragon jumped down from the top of the cave, and its claws pierced toward Tucker, but because of the scream, the white skeletal dragon was detected by Tucker, and Tucker immediately jumped Come on, dodge the white skeleton dragon's attack.

Lin really doesn't understand why it's called, the predators are very quiet,

But now both sides are in darkness. White Skeleton can see Tucker's figure, and his eyes seem to have some kind of luminous ability, but Tucker can also see the position of White Skeleton from his glowing eyes.

Fighting is on the verge!The white clawed dragon's claws swung violently towards Tucker, but Tucker held its claws at a faster speed, and then twisted violently, only listening to "Kara", and the white forehead's thin forelimb was twisted by Tucker. At an abnormal angle.

As it turned out, Tuck seemed to be very sensitive in the dark. He could even feel the sound of Bai Kelong's paws waving in the air, so as to accurately grasp Bai Kelong's paws.

The White Skeleton Dragon, whose forelegs were twisted by Tucker, kept screaming. Tucker didn't stop, and then he grabbed the White Skeleton Dragon's neck.

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the white skeleton dragon fell to the ground.

The battle was easily ended, and it seems that if Tuck is not hurt, it can indeed be one to three.

So what will Tucker do next?Do you want to go out?But Lin will stay here at least for some time to solve some of the problems here, like a large pile of eggshell fragments on the ground, fossils of fungi, skeletal dragon skeletons, and ...

A war.

The troops sucked into the roots of the tree are actually exactly the same as those used by Behemoth to immunize with fungi, but Lynn decided to call them "invaders", but this name is temporarily called here.

In this tree, they use eight spider-like arthropods to tear the 'vessels' in the tree, tearing the cells inside. It is very interesting. Lin found many muscle-like structures but no animal muscles So perfect, which means that although they can move, they do not move so fast.

Lin has never seen plants with immune organs. Although they have immunity, this tree has more special immunity. They even use multicellular organisms to help immunity like Lin, although this should be a symbiotic relationship.

When Lin's invaders attacked, a small arthropod, Lin called it "sword fleas", gathered in large numbers, they are like a parasitic creature "flea", but they are much smaller, They are so small that they can wander in the body and replace the role of immune cells. Sword flea moves in the body fluid of the tree by water spray. They are half the size of the aggressor and use small fangs to tear the body of the aggressor.

Lin gathered the invaders together to face the attack of the sword flea. Their body was inward and their limbs outward. Any sword flea approaching immediately grabbed it with several arthropods and tore it!Of course, the torn sword fleas will not be wasted, their fragments will be eaten by the aggressor, and then the aggressor will quickly grow in size ...

The invaders melted their backs and combined them as they grew up. All the invaders were slowly transformed into large creatures by Lynn. By tearing a large number of sword fleas, this group of invaders is growing continuously With.

It feels really good to fight in the water. You can change your body shape at will. If you are on land, you have to get a shell to prevent water leakage. There is little chance of quickly transforming the arms.

The invaders are now integrated by Lynn, and their limbs have been enlarged and become sharper. A fin-like structure has grown on their body to assist swimming, while Lin also has a larger mouth on its head. , To devour more debris.

Sword flea nourishes Lin ’s troops like an endless stream of nutrients. Now, Lin will use this grown army as a base, and then produce more invaders ...

After waiting for enough troops, he continued to march deep into the root system.

Lin felt very peculiar while engulfing them. Sword flea seemed to be fully responsible for immunization. They could not only distinguish fungi but also viruses. As multicellular organisms, they were much larger than viruses, but they could still find and engulf the virus. This tree will make some balls in return for sword fleas as nutrients.

A typical symbiotic relationship, the sword flea can even find the cells infected by the virus and engulf it. Their strength makes the tree itself not immune, and Lynn is destroying all this. All the invaders continue to attack and tear. The deeper these sword flea and various structures move, the more Lin discovers more secrets of this tree and slowly explores its entire structure ...

This takes quite a long time, because the tree is actually very large, but the big thing is not the body of the tree, but its root system.

This tree is quite a huge plant. It has a huge cylindrical structure at the bottom of the ground, called the 'core'. Numerous root systems protrude around the cylinder, just like the anemone's tentacles. These root systems All of them are close to the ground. To Lin's surprise, this tree has many structures like animal organs.

For example, the pipes in the root system have some heart-like structures. They are the same as the heart of ordinary creatures. They act like a "pump" to force various pipes, and there are many.

In addition, there are digestive structures like "stomach", etc. It is also found that its cells are not only plants, but also many animal-like cells, and even each root system has a ganglion-like structure, so that this tree can instantly Controls root movement and chases prey, but these structures are relatively incomplete, or primitive, and the organ types are much less than animals. It still retains many plant characteristics. Lin feels that this may be between animals and plants. Creature.

The tree that Tucker and Lynn saw in the cave before can be said to be their reproductive organs. They also use a huge root system to absorb the water in the ground, and then mix it with 'petrochemical toxins' to release some On the ground, because there are dry salt rocks or saltwater lakes everywhere, the creatures attracted by the light will soon find that there is water here, and after drinking it, the creature will be successful.

Petrochemical toxins will make the structure of the organism rigid, and will slowly move, including the heart. At this time, the root of this tree will trace the smell of petrochemical toxins to the body of the prey, and it will not pursue those who are not poisoned. Prey, Tucker was attacked, it should have been poisoned, so he got that special smell.

This creature surprised Lin. It completely abandoned the lifestyle of the previous plant and was more powerful than the common trap plants. It even coexisted with the creature like sword flea and had its own army, which means that Maybe even highly intelligent plants will appear in the future?

The possibility is relatively small, but time can tell everything.

Lynn gave it the name 'Du Meisha Tree', this name feels very suitable.

Lynn knew that there was obviously more than one such plant, so she could slowly destroy it.

While Lynn slowly attacked the tree, Tucker wandered aimlessly in the cave ...

It walks around a lot of broken shells on the ground. Its emotions are very complex, anxiety, nervousness, fear, all kinds of emotions, Lin thinks that this is very much related to the "death" of pterosaurs. relationship.

Tucker turned around for a long time in the eggshell fragments, and he suddenly kicked something, and his emotion instantly added a 'surprise', and he picked up the kicked thing.

This egg ... should be called an "egg". The dinosaur's egg strengthens the hardness of the outer shell, which is not the same as the normal egg, and this egg is the skeletal egg ...

Lin hadn't seen the skeleton dragon breeding, but they originally had cracked eggshells in the shed, so knowing its shape and shape, Tucker obviously knew that it would be so surprised.

Lin estimated that this was probably the egg of the white skeleton dragon, but Tucker didn't smash it immediately, but after holding it for a while, he took it in the direction of the traffic.

After walking for a while, Tucker reached the fork, the 'Dumeisha tree' still radiates a shining light, in fact, the existence of this tree is very different from the general plants, this structure is somewhat similar to fungi Mushrooms used to release fungus dust. The twigs of the tentacle-like luminous thread are used for reproduction. Each time, these tentacles will break down. It has enough nutrients and can even slowly advance like a worm. , To start growing in another place.

This kind of tentacle has a large number of small thorns like jellyfish tentacles, which can inject petrochemical toxins into the contact.

The purpose of its luminescence is to lure prey to drink water. There is no other reason. This tree exposed on the ground is only for these purposes, and the huge root system under the ground is the "main body" of the "Dumeisha tree". It should have grown exactly the same structure as the tree at other locations. Lynn thought that if there was a lack of prey in one place, the 'Dumisa Tree' would slowly move elsewhere.

Lin basically knows this kind of tree now. Although it is not clear how it produces this way of life, I will gradually explore it later by digging fossils. Now Lin feels that there is no need to completely destroy it, but it can Use its nutrients to build a new arm.

Tucker ’s behavior is very strange. He first put the egg in front of the tree, and then took a large pile of stones from the nearby ground to surround the egg.

At the same time, Tucker also carved a lot of marks on these stones with sharp stones. What is it doing?
