4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Under the stars at night ...

Everything is very noisy.

The jungle of the night keeps crying of various creatures, and there is almost no difference from the noise of the pompon jungle at night.

However, there are other strange phenomena here.

When Lin wanted to study the statue in the middle of that large rugby town, Lin found that something had happened in the town that had been 'slaughtered'.

The rugby balls that had died here, Lin thought that they could only wait for the scavengers to eat them, but did not expect them to actually ... live again.

However, they are not alive under normal circumstances, they did not return to their original state.

'Woo ...'

Now, there are a few rugby balls alive in front of the rock spider, but they are completely different from the original ones. They are no longer floating, and only crawl on the ground with some limbs.

The rock spider climbed up, grabbed a wriggling rugby ball, and tested it.

This ... is very interesting.

Lin found that the brain that should have stopped in Rugby's body actually started to move again, and controlled the body to start to move, and this time the body's performance is completely in line with the brain.

Because the brains of rugby balls and some similar creatures are 'broken', they can't completely command the body, but their previous performances can be intact.

However, these rugby balls that survived the "slaughter" showed the performance that a crippled brain creature should have. It can only move forward with a part of its limbs, and its ability to float cannot be controlled.

Because this area of ​​the brain does not have the ability to deal with so many complexities, their performance now feels completely 'normal'.

Through Lynn's detection, they did not find any special parasites or viruses that infected them. The behavior of these creatures is completely 'spontaneous'.

And what will these rugby balls do?

Lynn found that they did not wander aimlessly, but all gathered in one direction, the direction is ... the square in the center of the town.

They piled up there in large numbers, wriggling endlessly, and each tried to climb onto their companions, and finally formed a piled hill.

And this process continued until late at night.

They were very energetic at first, and under constant crawling, they slowly exhausted their physical strength, and then did not move at all.

However, these creatures are still alive, and their tired bodies are still trying to move. Lynn thinks this may be a special ... reproduction method.

Rock spiders have been observing these creatures here until the day comes, and the night and day of this world seem to last for a long time, which is faster than the pompon.

After the arrival of the day, Lin could already smell the rancid smell a little bit. At night, almost all of these creatures died due to exhaustion of their physical strength. Some faster-moving carrion bacteria have begun to engulf their bodies.

Presumably they will not come back to life this time.

However, it is not the fungus that engulfed these corpses, but ... their kind.

Rock spiders approached the rugby piles of rugby balls, which can be seen from some corpses on the surface, with some very small creatures crawling on them.

They drilled holes in the rugby's skin and nibbled the surrounding meat quickly.

And these very small creatures are rugby ... cubs.

They are exactly the same as rugby balls, but they are very small, and they can't fly, but they move quickly. They feed on a large number of 'predecessors' corpses around them and grow quickly.

The rugby balls that came alive the night before were piled up just for reproduction.

They produced a large number of rugby cubs and died, and then let the cubs eat their corpses to grow quickly. In this way, some creatures on the pompon can also be seen.

But the question is ... Why do they have to "die" once before they can get up and breed?

Those healthy rugby balls were so panic-stricken. They were obviously scared. If they had to do so, it would mean that this creature is afraid of breeding ...

Fear of breeding species?I have never seen it before.

Or is it that rugby does not usually breed in this way?

It may also be possible that Lin asked the rock spider to observe these pups here. If these pups survive a large number, then this breeding method should be very important.

While observing here, Lin is also acting on the other side.

This is a larger rugby city. Within the city, Lin can see many kinds of creatures living here, and most of the creatures here are rugby, and there are other types of creatures that are less in number. .

However, they seem to occupy the center position.

There is a statue in the center of the town. This statue looks like ... a tree trunk.

Just like before, the trunk I saw in the jungle is very similar to the trunk of the creator tree. This one is also carved from rock. The various details on it are like small knots. Everything is carved very finely.

Therefore, Lin felt that this was carved by the same sculptor as the one in the jungle. It may be the creature currently guarding the statue.

This creature looks like a cocoon, it is one and a half meters tall, and the whole body is covered with white silk thread.

So it is completely like a cocoon. It has thin legs under it to move it. When it wants to climb to a higher place or move quickly, it will shoot a new thread from the gap of the thread. Stick to the target and pull yourself quickly.

This strange creature seems to live in the center of the city, they live in the innermost layer, if according to the rules of the Emerald Dragon, they are 'nobles'.

Their buildings, like themselves, are made of silk, and they are also responsible for the more important things.

Like this tree-shaped statue.

Lin observes here for a while and finds that if other creatures want to approach the statue, they must obtain the consent of the 'cocoon' guarding in front of the statue.

Cocoons will let them pass, but they will also reject some creatures. Most of them close to the statue are rugby balls, especially the rugby balls that had escaped from that slaughtered town. They almost all came here.

After they were allowed to approach the statue, the rugby ball just touched the statue a few times and then floated away, doing nothing else.

Lin's rock spider has now crawled before the statue.

The cocoon didn't notice it at all, but Lin wondered a little, what would happen if the creature it didn't allow approached the statue, would it kill it?

After a while, let's see what the cocoon is made of. Lin will now study the statue ...

Lin feels that this statue may be something that can be connected to the dream, because the energy of the dream here is very ... rich, and should be able to enter the dream through it.

Thinking, the rock spider has climbed above the tree-shaped statue, and a small tentacle is extended on the head to make contact with the statue.

At this moment, the world around the rock spider ... changed.

However, it hasn't changed much. The surrounding scenery is still the same, and it will be completely different from reaching a new world after entering the dream.

The surrounding scenery is still the scenery of the town, and the location of those buildings has not changed. Lin feels that this is not like entering a dream.

But it did enter the dream again, because the surroundings are not completely unchanged.

If you look up, you can see that the sky has become a gray color. Some are like a polluted sky like a virtual cue ball. There is no sunlight and no clouds.

Looking on the ground, the creatures moving between the buildings have become a fuzzy shadow. These shadows are moving slowly, and they occasionally flash a few times.

And the cocoon guarding the statue is also changed into another thing, but it is not a shadow. It looks like a cyst of meat, but its shape and size are very close to the cocoon in reality.

This situation ... is very close to Lin's guess.

Suddenly, Lin saw a shadow floating from a distance.

There is a vague feeling of seeing everything here, but it will become clear when approaching.

But no matter how clear, the shadow or the shadow, it floats before the statue, in reality it should be stopped in front of the block of cocoon meat.

At this time, Lin immediately woke the rock spider, the surrounding scenery was instantly clear, and the swaying shadows changed back to the appearance of creatures, including the cocoon, and ...

In front of it, what was supposed to be a shadow has also become a rugby ball, and it is communicating with the cocoon.

When the communication was over, the cocoon gave way and the rugby ball flew to the statue before reaching out and touching the statue ...

It turns out so.

Lin thought that she was back in her dream. She could see a shadow attached to the statue, and it also sent out some emotions.

These emotions are better understood than they feel in reality, and Lin can almost know what it is saying.

If it is translated into some languages, the shadow is saying: "It was attacked ... came to a new place ... must report to 'something' ..."

Something means something like a name. Lynn does not know what it refers to, but it is obviously reporting to that kind of thing.

And the creatures here may have a characteristic, that is, in the dream world, they have another look. This dream and reality are completely synchronized, and the movement of the shadow here is also the same as the creature in reality.

In the dream, the creatures here will show another state, another appearance ...

The previous "slaughter" was that the "shadows" of the rugby balls in the dream were killed, so they would become like that. These shadows should be like the brain spirit ...

It is an energy creature.
