4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"……here is……"

When I looked up into the sky, I could see the dark red fog floating in the sky.The dim sunlight shone through the thick fog on the ground, making everything similar in color.

There are countless ... things stacked on the ground.

There are many kinds of these things, including stones, metals, crystals, and substances like flesh and jelly. These strange substances are piled up into small hills and spread all over the ground.

The ground is covered with crystals, covered with cracks and potholes. Some pits accumulate colorful liquids, and some are dry.

In short, this is not the original crystalline plain, nor the world of pompoms, but a place that does not know where ...

"Here's an anomaly." Burrower looked at the dark red misty sky. It looked at the surroundings again. What it was looking for was the ship.

In the memory of the blaster, it remembers very clearly that it flew to the transmission point of the Inca swarm before taking a boat, and wanted to return to the pompon world first.

However, some anomalies occurred during the transmission, and the ship vibrated very much before the transmission. At that time, the bursting worm was strange.

And when the teleport is successful, it is such a world that appears in front of Burrower. What is this place?Is it another place in the crystal world?

It is not clear ... but it should be so, because the gravity is almost the same, but the air is a little special. The air here is more complicated than the plain swamp, and there are many things that are not crystalline.

For example, a hill in front of the snarling bug ...

This hill is more than ten meters high and is made up of a large number of things like fragments. Some of these things are crystalline blocks, but most of them are not crystalline, but some other metal stones and so on. I also saw some bones like cell creatures mixed in.

Simply put, it's like ... a garbage dump. Everything that's piled up here is like an abandoned object. While thinking about it, the popping bug pulled a white substance out of the hill in front of it.

"Skeleton ..." During the testing process, the Blowworm found that this was indeed a skeleton of a cell-like organism, a type that had never been seen before, and that it had only recently died.

This means that there are cell-like organisms around here ... In fact, it is not surprising that the crystal world is caused by crystal bacteria, and the environment of this world can also allow some cell organisms to adapt.

It's just that after coming to the crystalline world, Blastworm hasn't seen cell-like creatures. Including the beginning, all crystalline-world creatures currently encountered are non-cells.

While thinking about it, the burst worm is also advancing.

The ship was gone ... Of course the scorpion and the head on the ship were also gone. Explosive whistlers felt that they should find the ship. If the ship was intact, they might start the teleport again.

Running between the piles of piled up waste hills, the burrowing insects simultaneously emit some special sounds to detect the surrounding environment.

Through the review of the sound, it can find whether there are any objects in the shape of a boat nearby.

"There is something."

The first time it made a sound, it felt, but it was n’t a boat, but something else ... something that was more than a meter long and could move quickly.

There were ten of them, scattered among the surrounding hills, and gathered here quickly.

It seemed that he was coming for the burrowing insect, so the burrowing insect stopped and turned to look at the top of a hill on the left.

At the top of the hill, that thing has already appeared. It looks ... like ... it's hard to say what it is, and it should be a machine if you insist on saying it.

It looks like a combination of the waste here, with a jelly-like substance as the core, and the surrounding is covered with elongated metal, rocks, crystals or even bones' Limb '.

But said it is grown, it is more like these things tied up in a jelly.

But it is able to use these limbs to move, just like the movement of crab creatures, swinging limbs composed of various substances, this creature quickly ran down from the hill and rushed to the bursting insect.

At the moment when it ran to the foot of the mountain, it suddenly protruded a cylindrical object from the jelly-like body and aimed at the bursting insect, and then ...

"Bang--" A white gas rushed out of the cylinder, and the popping worm quickly backed away, but when it wanted to move, it found that its legs could no longer move because there was a layer of frost condensed there.

"It attacks with air-conditioning ..." Burrowing Bug looked at the weird creature, then opened his mouth wide 'Wow!Shouted.

Suddenly the creature was as if it had been hit hard, all its limbs crooked at the same time, and the whole body fell to the ground.

But after an instant, it stood up again, but instead of continuing to attack, he continued rubbing there with two metal limbs, making a very stimulating sound.

Under this sound, the burrowing insect saw another creature on the top of the hill.

It's not just this. Almost every hill around the exploding bug appears. A total of ten creatures have appeared. They have completely surrounded the expelling bug.

The one who was initially attacked by the burrowing bug also made a sharper sound at this time, and the remaining nine creatures immediately ran down the hill to pounce on the burrowing bug.

"Wow, ah!"

A violent roar suddenly exploded from the mouth of the exploding whistler.

I do n’t know if these creatures have hearing, but whether they are or not, they seem to be very effective. All the creatures fell to the ground at this moment, and the bursting worm also broke free from the frost that frozen its legs and went to the nearest Next to a creature that fell to the ground, his wide mouth shouted at it sharply.

"Wow-!!!" The creature's jelly-like body was trembling continually with the roar of the burrowing insect, and the various limbs on it had fallen off.

However, when the snarling bug roared, the surrounding nine creatures stood up. All of them protruded a cylinder from the body, and spewed extremely low temperature gas against the snarling bug.

'Boom!'At this time, a creature's body exploded and saw jelly flying across its limbs, and the creature instantly became a piece of debris.

The surrounding creatures seemed to be frightened by this, they stopped sending cold air, and fled, and after a few seconds they all ran into the surrounding waste hills and disappeared.

"It seems that I did not come very late."

He looked up and saw a familiar figure and sound appearing on a hill. It was ... a mechanical water strider. The water strider's forelegs were raised upright and aimed at it. Obviously it was just the kind that it exploded ... ... of jelly creatures.

"It makes me feel very happy that you survived." The Burro quickly climbed up the hill and looked into the cockpit of the water strider, and saw a head inside.

"I only found a strange place after the teleportation." Blood Mist said as he watched the snarling crawler crawling in. "Then I was attacked by some weird creatures. If I had discovered that I could control this machine, I would have died. ... "

"Yes, you have control rights," Burrower said. "It's just that I haven't told you before. Your head can be controlled as long as you stay inside."

"Ga ... Fortunately, I found it." Blood Mist said: "Then I controlled the machine to run around and found out that you were besieged by those weird things. What are those?"

"Probably some local species." Burrower said: "Let's go find the boat now and see if we can teleport it back."

With that, it controlled the water strider to run in one direction.

"Do you know where the ship is?" Blood Mist said: "This machine can show the position of the ship, but I don't know how to call up that function ..."

"I don't know," said the Howler. "It does know the position of the ship, but it is not shown. This situation means that there are two possibilities. One is that the signal is blocked, and the other is ... the ship is destroyed. "

"Gah?" Blood Mist exclaimed: "It's impossible to destroy, we are all alive and well!"

"It would be nice if it was like that," said the Howler. "What about that scorpion?"

Blood Mist immediately said: "It should be dead."

"..."

Then the two sides did not speak, and the mechanical water strider quickly ran across the hill.

The piles of waste piled up one after another. While watching these roughly the same, the details are different at the same time, the bursting insect was also detecting the surrounding information.

"They ... keep following."

Through detection, the burrowing insect found many 'native jelly species' among the surrounding hills.

They seem to show a strong interest in mechanical water striders, but they do not rashly attack but keep a distance to follow.

"Those things are quite annoying." Blood Mist said: "But they should not be able to hurt us."

"It's hard to say," said Burrower. "We may have to face some annoying things next, because this machine is almost out of energy and needs to be stopped to replenish energy."

"Ga?" Blood Mist wondered: "How to add?"

"It can be supplemented by light. There is not enough light here, so it will take a long time, but there are many things here, and you can find things that can be used as energy from these things ..."

The water strider also stopped when the sound of the burrowing insect fell, and all the jelly creatures around it also did the same.

They stopped around and didn't approach, as if waiting for opportunities, and the burrowing bug ignored them, but let the water strider quickly rummage at the foot of a mountain.

"Very good." The rummaging process lasted about 60 seconds, and the Burrower stopped. "We found something useful."
