4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 1243
"What exactly is going on?"
In the cave, a creature known as a scholar is screaming.
Just now, it checked the whole body, and it found that the whole body was covered with star-like light, which was exactly the same as the Chibucha insect. The light emitted by these light spots on the body was enough to illuminate the surrounding small area.
Is this parasitized by fungi?
However, the scholar did not feel any special sensation at all, and did not even feel itchy on his body, let alone the painful state of the body.
What exactly is going on?Does Chibucha cause this strange fungus to grow on it?
The scholar carefully recalled the information about this fungus. They are indeed very different from ordinary fungi. Their hyphae have a muscle-like structure, which means they can move freely, but it is not like a plague. Fungi continue to grow like that, their growth ability is actually relatively poor.
This kind of fungus is often called 'live fungus' because it seems to move, and there is not only one kind. There are many kinds of them. Many different kinds of 'live fungus' will use peristaltic hyphae to fight each other.
The Chibucha insects allow these fungi to grow in the body and reach a symbiotic relationship with them. This fungus can not only shine for them, but also do many other things, but there is no relevant information about what is specific.
Scholars find it strange that why fungi can parasitize the virtual people?Although the body structure of the Void People is very similar to the normal creatures in this world, there is no such thing ...
With extremely suspicious thoughts, the scholar looked around and found that he was in an unfamiliar cave. It was probably Chibucha that carried it here.
However, they did not cause any harm to it, and even scholars did not know how Chibucha worms "implanted" these fungi.
The scholar took a closer look at his arm and thought that the fungus should be very close to the skin surface, so that their light could be emitted through the skin,
Although the scholar does not feel it, it thinks that these fungi may slowly absorb their own nutrients, and then it will soon feel dizzy, undernourished, lack of water, and ...
The scholar did not continue to think about it, he stood up and began to want what to do ...
The video installation is still on its body. This thing was hung on the "belt" by the scholar, and was not taken away by Chibucha, but now it seems that it cannot be turned on. It is estimated that it is completely dead.
But the light emitted by the scholar's own fungus replaces the function of lighting, and it can still act in the dark.
But where should it go?
The scholar looked at the surrounding environment, and it suddenly smelled a strange smell in the air ... this smell is ...
It immediately ran in the opposite direction of the taste.
I don't know why. Scholars know that the smell they smell is the smell of Chibucha, is it a fungal parasitic relationship?
Chibucha didn't know why it was thrown here, but they would definitely come back, so the scholar ran away quickly, and the scholar was finally relieved when he was getting further away from the smells.
And, at this time, it saw a new scene.
It found that it had ran under the wall of the cave, and there was a narrow cave on the wall. At the other end of the cave, a ray of light could be seen coming in ...
Is there ...
The scholar immediately ran to the front, and with its footsteps, the light in the front became brighter and brighter, and the scholar's emotions became more and more excited!
As long as you get outside, repair the aircraft, and then find a way back to the jungle where Lin ’s “base” was located, then there should be a way to solve these parasitic fungi, and then go to new places to explore!
The scholar planned what he was going to do at this moment, and at the same time it reached the strong light.
However, it did not feel the warmth of the sun, and at the moment it ran under the rays of light, the scholar saw a huge object shed from its head.
At this moment, the previous light disappeared, and the faint fluorescent light on the scholar illuminates the surrounding environment. The scholar finds himself in a narrow environment. The surrounding walls are like stone walls, but they will move, and one Approach yourself bit by bit ...
However, under the circumstance that the scholar was completely unable to resist, the stone wall was pressed into it. As the pressure increased, the scholar felt that his body was almost exploded.
'Goo!'But in the next second, the tight stone walls around them suddenly loosened and the surrounding environment became spacious.
"that is……"
At the same time, the scholar also saw a huge worm-like creature with a shiny head in front of it. This creature looked very uncomfortable, constantly twisting its body and retracting into a large hole on the ground.
"It turns out this ..."
Scholars have realized that the light from the worm just came out, and the stone wall that just squeezed it is the worm's mouth ...
Scholars have heard of this worm, named 'Underground Lantern', which is like a name. It uses a lantern to hunt. Scholars find that each time they encounter a creature, they remember the characteristics and names of the creature. Can avoid many dangers ...
I didn't know why just now, when the worm was about to eat it, it suddenly loosened its mouth and drilled back into the hole ...
No matter how much, here does not seem to be the way to go out, but ... scholars smelled it again at this time.
The smell is ... this is definitely not wrong, it is the smell outside!The peculiar taste of the salty ground outside has also been smelled before when outside.
However, the smell can only be smelled when it is close to the ground, why is it so far?It doesn't matter so much at first, in short, it's what matters outside the cave.
After the scholar came up with this idea, he immediately ran in that direction.
The scenery of the cave is constantly receding backwards. In order not to encounter any dangerous creatures, the scholar exhausted all his strength to escape. Fortunately, during the period when he lived here, he has fully adapted to the gravity of the pompon, and its speed is not slow.
And it quickly saw the light of the exit.
This time ... it was real sunshine!
In the next second, the scholar stepped on the salt ground, feeling the warmth of the sun and the dry breeze, and the scholar almost cheered out loud!
But when it saw a huge dinosaur tens of meters ahead, the scholar immediately stopped the emotion of cheering and quickly ran in the opposite direction of the dinosaur ...
Anyway, it survived in the cave.
But what happens next?
