4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 1820
"Look, there seems to be their home base ..."
It is six meters high and weighs more than a dozen tons. Its gray body is extremely hard. It is ... an ordinary stone.
On this ordinary stone, a few creatures playing the mechanical version are standing.
The brave, the scholar, the gnome ... and the bursting whistler, they are looking at something unusual about a hundred meters in front of them.
This thing is mainly spherical, similar to the one that scholars have seen before, and the surface is covered with holes, but the size of this one is more than sixty meters in diameter, which is much larger than the previous one.
Scholars and brave men came here mainly because they found that all the empties occupied by the 'worms' fled into this.
So scholars and braves also decided to come here to see ... what is going on here, they are mainly chasing a creature.
This creature looks like small green sand, but it is actually a small flying creature that will attack a variety of cellular targets on a large scale.
But until then they need to confirm the target 'good bullying' through a series of more complicated methods before they can launch the attack.
For example, before the brave man chopped the creature controlled by fissure worms, and then sensed by this group of 'green sand', they launched a large-scale attack on the target.
Afterwards, the fissure worms flew on the creatures they occupied, and the green sand continued to chase the target, and no matter how far the target flew, they would continue to mobilize reinforcements from the starting point.
And the brave and the scholar also came to this place along with the green sand, and they also just found that all the other virtual people and thieves had fled into this place.
The scholar decided to study this place, so they have observed it for a while, and until now there have been no virtual people coming out, so the scholar now wants to take a look at it in the past.
"Then let us pass!" The brave pointed the sword at the distant spherical object: "I want to cut the whole thing!"
"Wait a minute!" But the scholar prevented it from saying: "I just received some information from the dean ..."
With that said, the scholar lightly touched his forehead, and suddenly a three-dimensional picture popped up in front of it, showing some text and pictures.
"It tells us to look for these creatures." The scholar pointed to the picture in the picture, which showed a creature's appearance: "This creature is related to those of the pompon ..."
The brave questioned: "What kind of connection is that?"
"It has something to do with brain monsters ..." The scholar said: "In order to investigate them, the dean also came to this place, although it was said that he did not come in person."
"Really? I don't know these things well." The brave said: "Is it difficult to find them?"
"It's not about looking for it," the scholar said. "If you see it, just tell it ... then move on."
"Oh! Let's go! Gulu!"
The scholars and his team quickly approached the huge ball in front. As before, they approached the larger hole and looked inside.
"……can not see clearly."
Among the balls, a large number of criss-crossing things like vines blocked the eyes of scholars and braves, and could not see anything inside.
But here we can hear some strange sounds coming out from inside, like the sound of a clanging metal.
"We should go in and see." The brave said: "It's enough to cut all these things ..."
"Wait a minute." Compared to the brave men who want to chop these vines, scholars are staring at the vines inside carefully: "Look, these ... the worms live on it."
"Living above?" The brave adjusted the perspective into a "microscopic mode", looking at the nearest vine as a scholar ...
In the micro mode, the brave saw ... There are many protruding transparent pipes on the vines, and there are a lot of fissure bugs moving back and forth in these transparent pipes.
"It turns out that these pipes are where they live ..." The brave said: "It feels like a street ..."
"I know, this should be their main place of residence." The scholar said: "This should be a real city or ... a place like the kingdom. They send troops here to occupy other creatures in the distance. These occupations The creatures should be able to be used as weapons or other uses, yes ... they should be this way of life. "
The scholar opened his own recording system while talking, and then recorded the current situation one by one into a diary.
The brave man looked at the scholar and said, "You have studied it carefully, but I just want to know what will happen if you cut them off."
"You can give it a try." The Burro on the scholar's shoulder said: "You can try to treat them in any ... possible way."
"Then see what happens!" As he said, the brave man quickly picked up the sword and slashed towards the nearest vine, but unexpectedly, it didn't hit the target.
Suddenly the vine shrank inward, and the brave sword emptied.
However, the brave obviously didn't just cut it that way. It jumped in directly from the hole and chopped vines everywhere.
After Jianguang crossed, a vine was cut directly into two pieces, and the brave man could see from the microscopic perspective that a large number of fissure bugs fell out of it.
The ground dropped here is not as terrifying as the ground on the outside. The worms did not die immediately or suffered any microbial attack. In fact, there are many small holes on the ground. When the worms fall on them, they are all Got into it.
The brave man also saw from a microscopic point of view that many fissure bugs jumped out of the cross section and flew towards it.
These worms are equipped with some equipment. With these equipments, they can fly in the air, and fly to the brave in droves, and then keep on attacking ...
Their attack methods include using hammers and the like to strike, and releasing liquid that seems to be a dissolving liquid, and even directly detonating when they come up.
Either way, there is no damage to the brave shell.
At this time, the gnome also noticed these subtle objects in the air. Although its machinery does not have the ability to view at a microscopic level, it can be felt by means such as smell.
"Wow--!"
The gnome opened his mouth and inhaled vigorously into the air, and a large number of fissure bugs in flight were sucked in by the gnome.
Unlike the miniature version, this dwarf's mechanical body is engulfing, and can quickly heat up anything it swallows.
Therefore, it is difficult to survive in the dwarf's stomach.
The brave man didn't care so much, he cut the vines one by one directly with his sword, and moved to the place where there was a sound inside.
This process did not continue for a long time. The brave quickly cut off a large number of vines and came to the place where there was a metal impact, which is the center of the ball.
But after arriving here, the brave did not see what it thought could make a metal impact, but only saw an open space without any vines.
And in the open space are the robbers and other creatures, and there are some other creatures, which are motionless there, as if they have ... stopped their activities.
"They brought the occupied creatures here?"
The scholar followed behind, and after seeing the virtual people here, it immediately ran over to the next virtual people to observe and study carefully.
"Sure enough, the worms inside seem to have run out." The scholar said: "So they can't move now, but ..."
'clang!'
"This voice ..." Hearing the sudden sound, the scholar and the brave could not help but look around, but they found nothing.
However, the scholar's detection system detected some ... activities.
It found that something was rapidly approaching its position ...
"Be careful!" While the brave exclaimed, the ground beneath the scholar's feet suddenly exploded, and a flat shadow like a blade flew out of it. It swept over the scholar's chest and left it there. A ... crack.
"What's this?" The scholar looked at the crack on his body in surprise. The thing seemed to be only slightly crossed, and the solid shell was cut open.
Although the scar is not deep, it can still indicate that this attack is very powerful.
Then the scholar immediately looked at the thing that cut himself, it was more than ten meters in front ... it looked like a mass ... a black object.
However, if you take a closer look, it seems to be composed of a lot of small debris with different shapes. It has no fixed shape, but the overall size is about the same as that of the scholar, and the shape will continue to change.
It seemed to have changed into a blade-like form just now and rushed out of the ground, leaving a trace on the scholar's breastplate.
"Is this also controlled by the worms?" The brave pointed his sword at the black object and said, "It looks like it is not."
"I don't think so." The scholar said: "It should be irrelevant to Coelozoa. It is another kind of organism ... and it is not a cell type. It may be similar in structure to us, so we are regarded as an attack target.
As the scholar spoke, the black group moved again, and the tiny debris that formed it quickly dispersed and reorganized, making its body into a spear-like shape, and launched another assault on the scholar.
However, before it hit the scholar, it was cut in the middle by the brave man who rushed up. The spear composed of debris suddenly split in two, and a large amount of small debris also spattered on the ground.
But less than a second later, these small debris combined again, but instead of attacking, they flew in the other direction.
"Hurry up to catch it!" Burrower suddenly said: "It found ... our place!"
