4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 371: Underground Ethnic Group
These creatures ... are communicating.
This is a large underground cave, the ground is covered with crystals, and there are many small creatures crawling around, but the most conspicuous in this is a group of scorpion creatures ...
Lin called them 'stand scorpions', which are standing and walking scorpions. They gather here in groups and use crystals to build nests. In addition to them, there are many crystal burundu scorpions that are common before and live with them. Together, and some other creatures, some are like giant beetles, some are like caterpillars, and the scorpion grabs a caterpillar and squeezes them gently, using the mucus that they spit out The crystals stick together.
Those beetles use their heads to scoop up the crystals and pile them together. They have been using crystals in the cave to shape one side after another, like the structure of a crystal wall. It looks like they are like a division of labor of multiple biological cooperation. Species, Lin felt this way when she first saw them, but there was a problem ...
Lin often sees two standing scorpions communicating with each other, and utters a series of complex words.
If it is a division of living creatures, it will definitely not communicate in this way, let alone speak complex language.
They may not be divisional creatures?But how can there be so many types mixed together?Lin even saw a caterpillar-type creature with a big belly, which is estimated to be used for storing food. Occasionally there will be a scorpion picking up something from its mouth. There are creatures of this form, no matter how they look. Is it a division of labor ...
However, these groups of scorpions often communicate with each other. When building crystals, they occasionally have disputes because of inconsistent opinions.
So, Lin thought of a way to better confirm what kind of species they are. Leviathan is too large and will not change color. It is not easy for them to come in, so Lin began to combine a special 'arms' in Leviathan. .
This class of arms is completely manufactured in accordance with the appearance of the standing scorpion, but it is only the outer shell. It is not yet known how Lin inside the body, but it can be moved like a normal standing scorpion. Of course, it also includes the ability to emit light.
During this period, Lin asked Susumi to come back first. After Lin brought it a 'filter', Susumi was almost like an aquatic creature, watching it happily swim around Leviathan, It feels like there is nothing wrong with letting it live directly in the water ...
Because the structure in the body is very simple, Lin manufactures very fast. When the body is shaped, Leviathan's carapace slowly splits, and the exactly same creature as the scorpion slowly rises from the inside ... …
"Ga ..." Susumi, who was chasing the small fish next to him, watched in surprise as this 'Scorpion' rose from Leviathan's back, just like a creature was born from a cocoon. After it came out completely, Lin tried I moved the body of this standing scorpion and got familiar with the movement.
This creature ’s body shape is strange, but it ’s easy to move. This arm is called ... 'Spy'. Well, the word is newly discovered by Lin, and it feels fun. Just when Lin is going to swim in the passage Susumi suddenly grabbed the tail of this 'Scorpion'.
Lynn looked at Susumi, who showed a great desire to go with him.
Lin thought about half a second, and then took Susumi to swim with him into the channel ...
Swimming through the channel, the 'spy' went directly to the shore and walked on the ground in exactly the same way as the other scorpions, and Susumi followed, and Lin thought Susumi wouldn't have any problems if they were not a division of labor The species ...
It also happened to allow Susumi to see more things. If something really went wrong, Lin also had a way to let Susumi escape.
Lin walked towards a group of crystal scorpions not far away, and those few scorpions also saw Lin's 'spy'.
"Oh?" A standing scorpion came over. It looked at the 'spy' carefully up and down. The carapace on the spy's body fluoresced and looked exactly like the real standing scorpion, so it didn't attack immediately, Susumi. Then he quietly hid behind him without making any sound ...
"Lute dig!" The spy suddenly lifted his forelegs and issued a word. Lin didn't know what it meant, but when observing the standing scorpions, they often found that they would say the word when they met each other. Although Lin hadn't seen the standing. Scorpion's sac, but can completely imitate their special sound.
Immediately after hearing this, the scorpion who inspected the spy raised his forelegs and said, "Lutewa!", And then he went back to continue to stick and crystallize, no longer doubting Lin ...
These creatures are really not a division of labor species. This casually spliced-out "spy" can actually communicate with them?It seems that they are independent species like Skeleton, and this kind of species has little ability to identify similar species.
But how can they cooperate with so many different types of creatures?Are all symbiotic?Lin has never seen so many multicellular organisms coexist together.
The spy took Susumi to the depths of the cave, where crystalline scorpions were built everywhere. They glued the crystal into the shape of a blocked wall, and then connected these walls together to make a tunnel-like structure.
There are many crystalline tunnels on the wall at the end of the cave, which may lead to other caves. Lynn thinks that this is a huge underground cave network system.
"Goo ..." At this time, a huge beetle walked beside the spy. This beetle was two meters long and about one meter high. It used the flat horns of the head to scoop up the crystals on the ground.
Because of this beetle and some other creatures, this makes the scorpion resemble a divisional species, and these creatures seem to breathe with gills. From the beetle's transparent carapace, there can be a lot of water in the inner layer of the carapace. , There are gill-like structures on both sides of the head, have they ever been aquatic?
"Oh?" At this time, another standing scorpion approached Lin's spy. Most of the standing scorpions around were working, but there were always one or two who would look at this side in doubt, but this standing scorpion did not find the spy strange, it Note that it is behind the spy ... Susumi.
"Makadi? Huh?" Li Xie said a bunch of words that Lin could not understand, but Lin could probably guess it was asking: 'What is this?'
Lin said directly: "Susumi."
"Susumi?" The standing scorpion seemed to be stunned, and then Lin immediately left Susumi with her.
Lin twisted the spy's body and looked at the standing scorpion, but it seemed that they had treated the spy as their kind, so it didn't matter if the spy brought something in ...
So let's continue to look at what is happening to this group of creatures that are divided into divisions of labor, but Lin thinks that this is just a construction site, and their main nest ... may be able to find something interesting.
