4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"This is the ancient ruins of the standing scorpion ...?"

Deep in a certain underground, a creature named scholar is looking at a building in front of it. Using the fluorescence emitted by itself, it can see the style of the building clearly.

This is a pyramid-shaped building, but the height is only more than three meters, and it feels very 'mini'.

After passing the tunnel with crystalline trees in front, the scholar reached the depths of this underground. There is a vast cave, and this is the first building that the scholar saw. Obviously, this building belongs to the standing scorpion.

However, it has been abandoned for a long time, the surface of the building is covered with cracks, and the inside is also empty, without any living creatures.

but……

"What's wrong with this graffiti?"

Scholars can see the words painted on the walls of the building with colored paint, and the language used is actually a skeleton dragon, the white skeleton dragon.

Because I have learned the language of these skeleton dragons, scholars know what it says: "I put the treasure here. If you want, dig it, and dig deeper."

Is there a white skeleton dragon here?

In the data that scholars have seen, many white-skeleton dragons live in the sea of ​​clouds, and some live on islands. Although they were born on this continent, there should be no white-skeletal dragons here.

The trace of the paint on it is still very new, it should be painted with the juice of the plant, which means that the graffitier is not far away ...

"..." The scholar glanced at the surrounding dark cave environment and felt a little fear.

At the same time, it also felt a little hungry.

In fact, it was already hungry when it flew away from the dwarf in a flying machine, because the dwarf did not give it anything other than excrement.

However, after being rescued by the dean, he found that he was not hungry. It was possible that the dean added nutrients to him when he was in a coma.

Now that these nutrients are running out, it needs to be supplemented with new nutrients.

Where are the nutrients?The scholar immediately saw that a mushroom grew on the ground in front of it.

This place is very humid, so it is not surprising that mushrooms grow, but ordinary fungi are absolutely inedible, and they are almost impossible to be non-toxic.

However, the scholar looked at this mushroom, but had the feeling of wanting to eat ... It thought that this thing was edible.

Why is this happening?Is it related to the parasitic fungus?Have they spread to the brain and affected their thoughts?

No, even if they are parasitic under the skin, if they send out some special pheromones, they will affect their thoughts ...

What should I do?Would you like to eat it?

"..." After a little hesitation, under the dual influence of hunger and the "that's delicious" emotion, the scholar picked up the mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This is!" A strong "delicious taste" came into the scholar's mouth, and the scholar felt that it seemed to be the best thing in life!

However, this sensation soon disappeared as the scholar swallowed the mushroom, as if there was no feeling of 'aftertaste'.

"I don't know if there will be any problems."

After the delicious food passed, scholars began to worry about whether they would eat poisonous food.

"Ah ... that's ..."

Just when the scholar thought so, it suddenly saw a little light appear in the darkness in front of it. This light is getting bigger and bigger, it looks like a flame, but it is blue ...

"Is there really a problem ..." The scholar scratched his head and said: "Now I see an illusion ..."

The flame floated slowly until it reached the scholar.

"This illusion ... seems quite real ..."

Looking at the flame in front of him, the scholar could not help but stretch his hand to touch it.

"Ah!" A burning pain caused the scholar to quickly put his hands back, "This is not an illusion! By the way! This is ..."

The scholar who thought of something immediately turned around and ran, and at the same time, there was a burst of footsteps behind him.

The scholar took out the video installation and illuminated the large dark area behind it. At the same time, he also saw the creature with footsteps. It looked like ... the ribs of some kind of creature, but it was quite large. Meters in length, and is chasing scholars ...

"... It's a ribbed centipede!"

Scholars know this kind of creature, this creature can not only create a floating flame, but also looks like a bone itself, because it likes to hide in the pile of debris of the creature.

And the strange thing is that this strange looking creature actually has a "close relative" relationship with the flying dragon. According to the data, it is more than 97% the same as the flying dragon's "nuclear information".

Although their appearances are different, they can also produce flames, and they are also six-limbed creatures. Scholars thought it was wonderful when they read the information. If they are not arthropods, there are many four-limb creatures in the world, but six-limb creatures are very Less, and ...

"Ah!" The scholar screamed violently, and a long 'rib' was stuck on its back. Although the thorn was not deep, it was enough to prevent the scholar from continuing to escape.

This is the claw of the rib centipede. The barb at the tip makes the scholar feel pain and it is difficult to run forward. The scholar is dragged back by a powerful force.

But the scholar did not panic, he quickly picked up the video device, aimed at the rib centipede behind him, and pressed the 'flash mode'.

"Goo!"

This is a mode of continuous flashing with strong light. Under the strong light, the rib centipede screamed. It released the scholar, and the scholar quickly ran forward.

This creature living in a dark cave, with or without eyes, is quite sensitive to strong light.

The rib centipede is a creature with eyes, so it can't stand the glare any more, thinking, the scholar jumped at the same time and jumped into a lake in front.

The scholar came to the place where there was a scorpion building from this lake before. The scholar thinks that the rib centipede is not good at swimming and can't run on the road, but it can definitely escape in the water.

"It seems ... don't have to escape?" The scholar looked out, and he found that the rib centipede did not catch up, and then he was relieved and crawled out of the water.

"Then I have to deal with the wound ... strange, why doesn't it seem to hurt?"

Generally, jumping into the water will make the wound very painful, but scholars can't feel any pain in the back. The touch is completely different.

The scholar quickly took out the video installation, and took a picture behind the back to take a look at ...

"What the hell is this?"
