4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

This creature ... is quite old for most other creatures. At the time when it had memory, it was still in the deep sea, watching the various marine creatures swimming in the water with 'eyes'.

This creature's eyes seem to be older than its memory, and there is no way to determine when it was possessed.

But this is irrelevant to this creature. When it has memory, it is a 'brain'. This brain is completely defensive or attacking, but it has its own troops: a silk-like biological……

This thread-like creature can continue to grow, searching for various debris in the sea for food.

It lives at the bottom of the ocean. At that time, it could not be regarded as a 'plague', but more like ... 'cleaner'.

As an intelligent brain, it controls huge silk threads, which form a huge network covering hundreds of kilometers around it, and no debris can escape its web.

Maybe the range to be controlled is too large, so you need a brain to control the growth of the silk thread?No, this is not enough to explain why this simple structured organism can combine the "brain", the most complicated organ in the current organism ...

But this brain obviously does not care about this. After it was born, it did indeed complete its task very well. It continuously extended the silk thread to cover more and more, and its own control power became stronger and stronger.

This brain does not have the concept of 'life span'. Its cells are like some anemones and corals in a state where there is no 'upper limit'. As long as it is not attacked by external forces, it will grow forever.

So it also has enough time to think, and it begins to wonder and ... curious about the outside world.

At some point, it suddenly appeared a special idea, it wanted to leave this bottom of life, it does not have to keep looking for debris, it can get more food, such as trilobites living on those silk threads , Snails, shellfish, etc.

This creature's silk thread itself has the ability to secrete toxins. The original purpose was to prevent other creatures from attacking, but now it uses this toxin to attack other creatures. It first surrounds those slow-moving creatures with silk thread, such as snails. And shellfish, drill into their shells to paralyze their bodies with venom, or drill their carapace directly with dissolving liquid.

It has changed from a scavenger to a predator. During continuous hunting, these silk threads are growing faster and faster, but they can only eat some non-moving or very slow creatures. Only hunt those slow-moving creatures, and look at those faster-moving fish and other creatures.

However, it is impossible for silk threads to catch fish. They cannot be caught no matter how fast they grow, so it came up with a method ...

These silk threads not only grow by growth, they also release a small ball that sticks to other places to grow silk threads to multiply, and then the brain thought of using this small ball to catch fish class.

It is not effective to release one ball at a time. There is too little silk to grow, and it may be defeated by immune cells, but if a large number of balls are released at once ...

It can devour any creature!

In this way, it uses this method to continuously expand its community. It also tries to twist the thread together to form a sphere, creating an explosive structure to release the ball.

These silk threads are very simple structures. They do not have organs like ordinary creatures, but they are extremely powerful. They use this method to hunt various creatures in the sea, such as fish, arthropods, other corals, etc. Created a structure like a mushroom to release more small balls. At this time Lin felt that it could be named after the "Plague".

So far reading, Lin found some problems ...

This creature is not a real fungus. It seems to have no direct evolutionary relationship with the fungus. Those mushroom-like structures were created by accident. This is a coincidence. The same structure has evolved between the two. ...

It may not be a coincidence, but it discovered the fungus and then learned, but the problem about this was not recorded in the memory, and the mushroom structure seemed to pop up suddenly.

Now, they can be called 'the plague fungus'. Under the command of the brain, they began to spread in the sea like a real plague. No creature can resist it. Only a few creatures are resistant to the dissolution of the plague, but They are parasites at best for the plague fungus, and the brain doesn't care much. It even develops on land and occupies several islands.

It can be seen here that the plague fungus grew up from the sea at the beginning, and Lin felt that it was due to some reasons that they could not stay in the sea ...

Although the plague devours everything, it is not invincible. In the continuous development, they encounter a creature that can compete with them ...

At that time, it was winter. The sea and the sky were frozen by ice and snow. At this time, the plague fungus was also in a slow-growing state. This creature slowly traveled under the cold deep sea. It discovered the mycelium that spread throughout the sea. .

After these species saw the plague fungus, their first decision was to eat these hyphae, because it is difficult to find food in winter, of course, the plague brain also found this group of species, it also intends to devour these creatures, the reason and the other side are the same.

But after the two hairs fought, the brain was horrified to find that this group of creatures is a powerful divisional species. They not only have a certain resistance to mycotoxins, but also devour the resistant parasites. Increase the resistance of your arms.

This opponent is quite terrible for the plague fungus. They swallowed a lot of hyphae and began to multiply continuously. The brain will not wait to die there, but will fight it.

It tried to create more kinds of lysate, infect more species, produce a lot of hyphae, and fight against this creature trying to eat it.

This battle lasted quite a long time ... they did not blindly attack, but constantly updated their arms, but the structure of the mycelium was quite simple, and it was difficult to make any special changes, which left them vulnerable.

But the brain has a new method at this time. It uses hyphae to infect the brains of other creatures, and then controls this creature.

The memory of this part of the area is relatively vague, and there is no detailed description of how it possesses this ability, as if it had been there since the beginning ...

After using this ability, the plague fungus began the road of counterattack.
