4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"It's all ... meat?"

It's already dark here.

The huge fungal woodland is no different from the day when it is dark. A lot of fungus dust blocks the sun, and everything is in a dim state.

Fortunately, Atlan's helmet has night vision, so it can see things around. It just picked up a bone on the ground under the suggestion of the sound in the helmet.

This was left by the skeleton it had just broken. Atlan looked closely and found that this kind of bone is much thicker than the real Atlan bone, and it is hollow inside.

More importantly, the hollow bones are full of meat and liquids, which were spilled on the ground when they were just broken.

"I understand that these things are not 'moving bones', but flesh and blood creatures." The voice said: "Go ahead and see if you will encounter more strange things."

"... I don't want to meet." I saw these skeletons scared before, but even so, it had to move on.

Because this creature has promised that no matter whether Atlan finally completed the mission, it will come to save the other Atlan in this world.

But now that he is still alive, he must do his best.

And Atlan has felt a strong hope, so it will go back to the mission target location without turning back.

In the course of its actions, Maya is also studying these fungi.

Perhaps because of the influence of the dean, Maya, who had little interest in research now, has also become somewhat fond of research, but also because it cares more about fungi.

This fungus is a very dangerous thing. It has obtained a lot of information based on observations from Atlan all the way, and now it is integrating these data.

From the beginning, the "plague fungus" was created by the creator. This may be a relatively unexpected creature created by the creator. They are difficult to control.

So the creator did not use them very much ...

After many changes of this fungus, they acquired a subspecial group of brains. Exceptionally, they did not devour this brain, but let the brain begin to command all fungi.

Under the command of the brain, the fungus infects other creatures, and creates a large group of infected creatures to use as weapons, and can also integrate different creatures and construct them into something weirder.

This series of things, Maya also knows.

However, the brain of the fungus is dead, and the plague fungus should also lose its commander, although they know how to use a variety of methods to survive without food.

However, it should be limited to this. Even in another world, their nature should not change at all ... And Maya sees from the world of Atlanta that these fungi have actually begun to do the previous things. ...

That is to transform creatures.

Such things as simply infecting a creature and turning it into a fungus-covered puppet, as well as transforming and fusing creatures, only happened when the brain commanded them. Under the command of the brain, they created In order to deal with such things as the head of the plague, the original intention was to deal with subspecial groups.

But now Maya sees that in Atlan, the fungus has done the same thing.

They transformed Atlan and created something unexpected.

The giant creatures that attacked the Atlan convoy were transformed from the "troll". There is a kind of atlan in Atlan called "troll", they are brains from ordinary Made in Tran, originally used to attack pompon.

The monsters are generally three meters tall and are suitable for heavy weapons, but compared to ordinary Atlan, the monsters are less intelligent, so they failed to survive the time the fungus spread.

However, they didn't seem to be eaten up, and now Maya finds that they have been transformed by the fungus as a prototype.

Although there is no detailed information, Maya can infer that they may fuse a large number of giant corpses together, and reorganize, strengthen muscles and other structures to create monsters that are ten times higher than ordinary monsters.

Why do fungi do this?It should be related to the brains of subspecial groups.

The way that the brain gives the fungus commands may not be a complete immediate command, it may have some hidden effects, for example ... What information was made in the nucleus of these fungi, which may include letting the fungus learn How to transform creatures.

The brain should know how to adjust or add some nuclear information, in short, give some long-term instructions.

It is as if the brains of the subspecial group can let the brain-creating monsters remember tasks for a long time after death. Perhaps the brain infected by the fungus has similar capabilities. It has given some information to let the fungus know how to transform the creature for a long time ...

Therefore, fungi may instinctively create such modified organisms at certain times.

However, if this is the case, the fungus should only create the creature of the head of the plague.

The head of the plague is an unfinished product. They are uncoordinated in action, easily fall over, and have no forelimbs.

And this new Atlan transformation is obviously strengthened, it is like the perfect plague head, there is no such uncoordinated appearance, and the movement is more flexible.

Although as a two-legged creature it grows so large it must fall easily, but it is much better than before.

In addition, Maya saw something ... the skeletons.

Those skeletons seem to be 'living organisms' made by fungi that create some muscle structures in the bones and then connect the bones together.

The manufacturing meaning and purpose of this kind of thing are not clear.

But Maya thinks it was created by imitating some fungal infections in pompon.

Maya doubts whether these fungi have certain intelligence, they have some very strong judgment ability, they know to change themselves according to the surrounding environment, but have not directly demonstrated intelligence, but now this situation can indicate that they seem to have a purpose Are making various modified creatures ...

Or there are some commanders among them ... maybe connected to Chibucha.

Only when Atlan arrives at his destination can he know what is going on. Maybe he can see more weird creatures, maybe he can see some Chibucha bugs that are planning, and transport Chibucha bugs and fungi together In the past, it was obviously a mistake ...

If Atlan is unsuccessful, then Maya can only see it in person, so she will also save Atlan by the way.
