4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

In a tiny world ... countless creatures are fighting.

This is a huge leaf, where you can feel the warmth of the sun and the breath of death ... There is a constant conflict between the eroder and the sword flea.

An extremely large sword flea is biting and devouring everything around it with its sharp-edged mouth, but the carapace on its body has cracked, and many eroders are lying on its body, biting its shell, With the help of the dissolving solution, the body of this giant is slowly cracking. They are broken down into smaller pieces and swallowed by the eroder. These energies will be used to generate more eroders.

But this is only a small battle. The eroders in more places are fighting with the sword flea. They use the blade-like arthropod to cut the eroder, and the eroder fights with the dissolving liquid. The pipelines in the middle are pouring out, and their numbers are quite large, and they not only counter the eroder, but also try to swim through the needle tube entered by the eroder, attacking Lin ’s spherical floating base ...

This multicellular immune army is really interesting, although they are unlikely to succeed.

Lin did not make other new recruits, but attacked purely with spider-like eroders. They continued to kill the sword fleas, while also destroying other cells within this leaf, using a large amount of lysate to remove these Cells dissolve and divide and absorb them, creating more eroders ...

Under constant fighting, Lin's eroders slowly gained an advantage. They killed all the flea sword flea and corroded the whole leaf slowly.

If you look from the outside, you can see that the giant leaf with a diameter of 10 meters is slowly discoloring and blackening. As the cells inside continue to die, the entire leaf rots, and inside, it looks like it is Everything was destroyed. There were scattered pieces of rotting everywhere. The army of eroders ran inwards. They began to attack the skeleton of the leaves. After dissolving it, the shells secreted from the tails were used as supporting substitutes.

At this time, you can see that the leaf bones have started to darken.

The sword flea that has been attacking has abandoned this leaf, and they have retreated to where they came from-the petiole at the bottom of the leaf that is connected to the root of the tree.

Lin of course would not let them go, the endless army of eroders followed, and at this time, the sword flea made a weird move. Lin found that a large number of sword flea was holding when he chased into the passage of the petiole A round object that grows on the inner wall of the channel and is constantly rubbing on it with arthropods. What are they doing?

'Ka ...!'

At this time, Lin heard a voice, and suddenly, the thick petiole of the giant leaf broke, and this leaf with a diameter of ten meters fell from the huge roots because of the break, and it hit the stand heavily. On the ground of the scorpion city ...

But there seems to be no major problem in the leaves. Lynn let the eroders in the leaves gather quickly and dissolve themselves. They reassemble some flying objects and fly back to the floating base. The nutrients inside cannot be wasted.

This is the case, because the leaves are completely invaded, so just break it and give up the entire leaf?Although this is not common, it is not strange.

But the behavior before the sword flea made Lin feel as if they were telling the 'creator' to let it give up the leaves ...

Does this 'plant' have intelligence?Lin now feels that it is not easy to determine, and she needs to conduct an in-depth investigation.

But looking at the large number of tree roots here, and thinking about the huge amount of sword flea just inside, it seems a bit slow if it slowly invades from the body.

It's better to clear the roots of the trees on the ground first, and the things above are probably just 'tentacles', while the ones below the ground are the real 'ontology'.

Thinking, Lynn let the floating base start to move. This 10-meter-diameter sphere contains many weapons, and there is a kind of so-called "sawtooth tentacle".

A tentacle protrudes from the bottom of the floating base. At the end of this tentacle is a long flat object made of crust, and the sides are covered with serrations.

This serrated tentacle can vibrate at a very small amplitude at high speed. Lynn gently placed the tentacle on the tree root wrapped around the top of the pyramid. With the sound of cutting, countless sawdust flew out with a lot of juice. The tree at the top The root was quickly saw off by Lynn with her tentacles and rolled off the pyramid.

Lin looked at the tentacles that had been stained with a lot of liquid. Generally, there is not much liquid in the roots of plants. It seems that this is because of the particularly large number of 'arms' in the body.

The floating base flew to the ground, picked up the broken tree root with tentacles, and opened a 'mouth' on the surface to swallow it.

In the body of the floating base, countless small tentacles begin to break down the root of the tree. The first thing Lin found in the root of the tree is the almost endless sword flea. They are very large in number, usually gathered in some small sacs inside the root At present, only five species have been found, and no larvae or eggs have been found. Are they produced deeper?

In addition to raising a large number of sword flea, the root of the tree itself is not the same as other plants, it has a muscle-like structure, which can make the entire root of the tree move, and there is a structure similar to a nerve line connected.

It's similar because it's still quite different from the animal's. It's more 'primitive', like the muscles that have just been composed, but it's enough for it to move ...

At the same time, the root of this tree does not seem to have the ability of ordinary roots. Its epidermis is closed, so it cannot absorb nutrients or water. It is estimated that it is absorbed by another part.

Just looking at this small part, there is obviously no way to fully understand them. Solve them quickly.

"Goo ..." At this moment, Lin heard a sound, and a tree root came out of the ground. At the front of it, there were two diamond-shaped leaves about five meters long. The leaves slowly spread out. , You can see that there is a lot of mucus inside, and at the same time emit a lot of smell from the inside ...

This smell smells like nectar, and plants often use this smell to attract other creatures, let them spread germ cells for themselves, or eat them ...

But this taste is much stronger and has a stronger attraction, even the skeletal dragons far away from the city can smell it.

Does it seem to intend to use this to lure a floating ball?It's a pity that Lin has no effect at all, but Lin still pretends to be effective and slowly drifts past.

At the moment of approaching, the two leaves were clamped in an instant, and a large amount of mucus stuck to the floating ball, but the floating ball was too large, and it could only stick to a part.

Is this the only way to attack?I do n’t know why, I feel a little disappointed ...

No, this is ...

Lin suddenly discovered that some white silk threads were emerging from the mucus of the leaves. These silk threads grew more and more and grew upward, gradually tying up the entire floating ball.

Lin should have seen this silk thread, yes ... this is mycelium!Can this plant produce hyphae?And this is not a normal mycelium ... This feeling is very similar to the plague fungus, but there are some differences.

Mycelium seems to want to find a gap in the surface of the floating ball to drill in, and at the same time secretes a dissolving liquid. Lin then secreted a liquid from the whole body of the floating ball, this liquid quickly and the outside bacteria The silk was mixed together, and ...

'call!'

After a burst of flames, the wrapped mycelia had disappeared, and the leaves that had stuck to the floating ball were loosened. The root of the tree seemed to realize that the situation was not good, and began to retract to the ground.

But the floating ball rushed up at a faster speed than it, using a serrated tentacle to cut off its 'head' with the two leaves.

The broken roots still shrunk back, but Lin now has a new research object.

After the two leaves were swallowed into the body, a new discovery was made immediately.

Although this looks like a leaf, it is actually a predator, and it has fire resistance. The floating ball has just burned it, but it seems that it has not been greatly affected. It is still full of sword flea and has a lot of secretion Sac of mucus.

But these sacs not only secrete mucus, but also contain something ... bacterial dust.

It should be said that ... the original dust is the petrified fungus dust found by Lin under the salt ground. Their structure is almost the same, and this is alive.

However, this leaf has mycelium that grows well. The mycelium that just wrapped the floating ball just stretched out from the inside.

Moreover, the dust of this fungus does not seem to grow randomly, and the plague fungus grows wildly when it encounters nutrients.

Thinking, Lynn got some fungus dust and put it in the body of the floating ball, secreting some nutrients to soak it ...

Suddenly, these bacteria dust began to absorb nutrients frantically and grew up. Lin immediately poured the solution and the fungus was quickly broken down.

It turns out that it depends on the object of its growth?While inside the leaf, although it is surrounded by absorbable moisture and nutrients, it does not grow at all, but when it encounters other nutrients, it will be absorbed without any care.

The word politeness feels strange. What is politeness?

In short, these dusts should be the same as the sword fleas, and they belong to the symbiotes in the creator. No, I feel that the name "subordinate" is more suitable. The original dusts are simple in structure, and there is no plague fungus that Lynn saw outside. The growth is so rapid, it is only relatively speaking, it is still much stronger than the average fungus.

Lin feels that the fungus may act as an attack weapon and a decomposer, that is to say ... the "creator" is not only the origin of carnivorous plants, but ... the origin of the plague fungus?
