4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Chapter 1235 Salt Land and Very Salty Creatures
"what--!"
The screaming sound echoed above the salt ground.
The creature named Tarantula with the title of scholar was surprised by the sharp and loud sound of the little flower beside it.
But it is even more surprised by the large group of creatures in front of it.
This creature just got out of the ground, their skin is white, there are a lot of cracks on it and it is covered with pimples, it looks like ... this salty ground.
And their body shape is more than two meters, their legs are almost short, and their bodies are nearly spherical.
All this proves that this is a kind of Maoyu.
There are many Maoyu, which have evolved into a variety of forms, some even completely separated from the previous appearance, and some Maoyu retain their "primitive form" during the ice age, that is, a large and round body, small Even though their eyes and short legs have become very large, they have n’t broken away from this look.
Scholars have also read this kind of Maoyu, they are called 'salt jade', their dry skin is hardened by a lot of salt.
They will devour a lot of salt and then expel the salt on the surface of the skin. These salts will solidify on their epidermis, forming this pimple-shaped 'shell'.
Any predator will refuse to kill 'Jade Jade' because it is too salty. They can even roll in the meat-cutting ant colony without being bitten at all
And Yanyu's prey is usually too salty to die.
Scholars know that salt jade is a carnivorous organism, and they have a special 'salt gland' in their body. They can inject a lot of salt into the bite target. Then, even if the prey escapes, it does not matter, because a large amount of salt is injected, the prey Will soon die.
In this wasteland without water, this is a very good way to hunt. Because of this ability, they are also the few creatures that live very happy on the salt ground.
Looking at the approaching Yan Yu, the scholar took out its video installation, and as usual, it released the sound of a flying dragon.
But with the roar of the flying dragon, Yanyu did not retreat, because Yanyu itself was not afraid of flying dragons ... they, because they were too salty, were almost fearless!
A salt jade rocked its calf and slammed into the scholar!These creatures seem to have short legs, but when they jump, their fully extended legs are much longer than their length.
The scholar quickly backed away, but the salt jade had jumped in front of the scholar, biting heavily on his arm.
Yanyu has a pair of needle-shaped injection teeth, which are used to inject high-salinity water into the body.
However, the scholar was wearing armor. Although it was made of wood, it blocked Yanyu's attack, and then the scholar took a punch on Yanyu's face.
'Snapped!'The salt block wrapped on Yan Yu's face was hit by bursts and splashes. This salt jade quickly backed away, and the scholar also temporarily entered a safe state.
But Yanyu didn't retreat. They still stared at the scholars with gaze, as if they were preparing to launch a second attack, but it seemed that the Yanyus were hesitant because of the failure of a salt jade attack just now.
"What should I do ..."
Looking at the siege of Yanyu, the scholar could not help but retreat a few. The armor on his hand was made when the aircraft was put together, but Yanyu's teeth had already cracked on it, because these creatures not only have injection teeth, but also They have bone-breaking teeth. In addition to hunting, they often find dead bodies on salt ground to eat, so they are good at biting bones.
'Click——'
The scholar couldn't help but take another step back, but at this moment, there was a sound under its feet.
The scholar glanced down and found that there were a lot of cracks under his feet ...
"Wouldn't you ..."
'boom!'Suddenly, the ground beneath the scholar's feet suddenly cracked open, and it fell with it ...
………………
"Where is this ... that ... what ..."
When its eyes opened, it found itself in darkness.
However, here is not completely dark, in front of it, there is an object emitting phantom light.
This light is very soft, not dazzling, nor dim ... its special luster made the scholar unable to hold up his tired body, and walked toward the object emitting the light.
"What a nice view……"
There is only this idea in the minds of scholars. As it approaches, the objects that emit light are becoming clearer and clearer.
It is a tree about five meters high.
Unlike ordinary trees, there is not a little green in the whole body, but a combination of blue and purple, and the soft limbs that emit fluorescence fall around the branches like tentacles.
Its light attracted scholars to come closer step by step. The scholar could not help but want to touch the tree. It felt that his body was out of control ...
'Slap.'When the scholar walked under the tree, he suddenly heard something, turned his head, and the scholar suddenly saw a skull of a creature, staring at the scholar with empty eyes, and instantly made the scholar feel a trace of fear.
It was this fear that made the scholar awake, and he took a few steps back quickly. Only then did he see clearly. On the tree in front of it, a bone hung, and the head of the bone just fell off. Only then awakened the scholar's thoughts ...
The scholar stepped back a few steps in a row to confirm his safety before he was relieved.
"It seems that it has fallen into a strange place ..."
The scholar looked up and found that the hole he fell from seemed to be not high, only over ten meters, and beside the hole, the few salt jades were still looking here, but none seemed to want to jump in.
The place where the scholar landed was covered with a lot of soft sand, so it was not injured
In order not to continue to lure Yan Yu into the idea of jumping in, the scholar left their sight and walked to the tree that attracted him just now.
Scholars have read some information about this tree, it seems to be a plant subspecies called 'Medusa tree', which has a wonderful ... hunting ability.
But as long as they are not close, there should be no danger.
But scholars are most concerned about water at present. After some things before, it is already very thirsty. It must find the water quickly, otherwise,
"Hurry up ..."
The scholar looked around and found that it was a cave, the ground was covered with soft sand, and there were many passages around.
Judging from the bones of that tree, there should be living creatures here, and the water source should be able to be found.
However, to find the water source, you must also rely on the imaging device in its hand. This thing is quite useful. It can detect the water content in the air and find the place where there is water ...
