4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2340
"They are stealing our frozen bloom! We must stop them!"
"Why do you understand their language? Who are you? Why are you with them?"
"We must protect the solidified bloom!"
"..."
On the dim ground, the scholar is staying with the mechanical dust crocodile, who has been saying these words since the beginning.
Before, the mechanical dust crocodile was hit by the initial attack, and its main control system seemed to be affected somewhat, so it did not climb up to continue attacking the initial state at that time, and was later taken away by scholars.
However, the mechanical dust crocodile also has a self-healing system. After waking up to repair itself, it is found that the scholar and the beginning are actually together, and the beginning is still carrying a lot of ... solidified bloom.
So it was quite angry.
But this kind of anger is only dare to talk to scholars ... Quietly speaking, the mechanical dust crocodile still remembers the strength of the beginning, so in this starting place, it dare not provoke them.
"So we have to investigate here instead of attacking them." The scholar said: "We have no way to stop them now, you know?"
"... but ..." The mechanical dust crocodile wanted to say something, and the scholar did not care much about it, but looked at the surrounding environment.
Scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles are in a square in the center of the city. Looking aside, you can see that the departure aircraft that is more than 30 meters long is parked on the square, and there are many beginnings floating around. And beside these floating beginnings, there are many amoeba-like crystal variant creatures crawling.
They are stacking the solidified blooms dug out of the ground next to the aircraft, and the solidified blooms do not seem to have a 'solidified position' because scholars have seen them carried for a long time.
Obviously, Sijing also wants to study this kind of magical power, but scholars feel that Sijing already knows a lot and may be able to ask them some questions directly.
Thinking, the scholar walked forward, and the mechanical dust crocodile followed.
They are walking between the beginning and the beginning of drifting, and these beginnings seem to be busy with things as if they did not see them.
However, scholars don't know what they are busy with, because the transportation work is done by variant creatures, and these beginnings are more like floating in ... wandering.
So, the scholar said to a starting point close to it: "Before ... you have agreed, you can show me your research materials."
"Is that true?" Shijing stopped, seeming to be puzzled. "Have we ever made such a promise?"
"It's not talking to you, but ... another." The scholar looked around. The starting point he had communicated with was not here. After he brought them, he didn't know where to go.
However, just when scholars thought it would take some effort to explain, this starting situation quickly said: "... Very good, indeed, you can know our information."
It doesn't seem to require much trouble.
"You want to know us ..."
'Bang--!'The voice of the beginning hasn't fallen, and the scholar suddenly saw ... its eyes lit up.
This ... is quite bright, as if it were daylight. In the eyes of scholars, the entire city looks extremely bright, as if it is suddenly daylight.
There is no day in this world, because it is in the pipeline, so it has always been in a dim state. The creatures here usually adapt to the dark environment, or rely on the illumination of various luminous objects.
For the first time, the scholar saw this place so bright, so it quickly turned its eyes upward ... where the light shed.
Not only scholars, but also all the beginnings and mechanical dust crocodiles here also looked up and saw one ... a giant beacon emitting strong light was flying over the city.
"This is ... that ..."
Because the eyes of the scholar are not made of flesh and blood, it does not matter if it can stare at the strong light for a long time, so it clearly sees the overall appearance of this thing.
It is quite huge, the overall shape is like a snake-like long and somewhat curved, and numerous lights such as stars are shining on the huge body, which illuminates the entire city.
In fact, scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles are not completely new to this ... creature.
"It's ... star gathering!"
'Star gather' belongs to a kind of ... the legendary creature, and its stories often appear in the beliefs and legends of the dust crocodile and the surrounding races. It is said that this creature wanders from the beginning when the dust crocodile knows the history In the sky, there are very few actual research records on this creature.
This is mainly because they are too ... mysterious.
The body of the star cluster is usually hundreds of meters to one kilometer. The whole is a snake-shaped or eel-shaped creature. After it appears, it will slowly advance in the sky and twist the body, just like in the water. Swimming around like that.
However, its biggest characteristic is that it emits violent light. It looks like a starry sky pattern on its body. Occasionally, these 'patterns' on its body will emit light, thereby illuminating the area it passes through.
Its special behavior also allows countless creatures to worship it.
The dust crocodile once observed that the "Star Convergence" flew out of the pipeline, flew to the outside void, and then flew back. This is also the source of the name "Star Congregation". In the beginning, Star Congregation was thought to go out to collect the starlight outside, Then fly back and spray the stars to the residents here.
This legend has been going on for a long time, even when it is more and more developed, the dust crocodile also regards it as a wonderful story. There are many books or works about the star gathering in the dust crocodile society, its wonderful legend It has always been spread among the dust crocodiles. If the star gathering appears somewhere, it will immediately cause a sensation and attract countless dust crocodiles and other races to watch.
Xingju has always been a wonderful legend for the dust crocodile, but that's just ... the thing.
After the war began, the star gathering became a nightmare for the dust crocodile, because this creature participated in the war and was on the side of the aggressor.
The dust crocodile does not know why. There is a theory that the group of invaders tamed the star gathering, or reached a certain deal with the star gathering. The dust crocodile never had any communication with the star gathering, so they did not know this creature. Whether they have intelligence or not, most admirers regard star gathering as a god, but the point of view in scholars is that star gathering is a wildlife.
In any case, the fact that Xingju has great power is absolutely not wrong, just like ... now.
'Boom!'
The sudden explosion of light bursts out on the square, and the countless light spots on the stars gather like raindrops, and a gorgeous meteor shower is formed above this dusty crocodile city. The moment the meteor hits the ground ...
The brilliance of their engulfment swallowed all the things they touched.
'Booming!'The roar and explosion caused by the meteor caused the ground to vibrate, and the tsunami composed of smoke and debris rushed to the surroundings, and a large number of origins and variant creatures disappeared in the brilliant light.
'Boom--'
The aircraft parked in the square flew up and down in countless explosions, and the protection that protected it was swayed in the light, and finally disappeared without a trace.
This aircraft was also swallowed by the falling stars ...
The scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles started to run continuously at the moment of the star gathering. The scholars turned their heads from time to time, and the gorgeous explosions continued to bloom in the square. Most of the original situations that were originally carried in the square It was completely blown into powder.
However, the meteor shower sprinkled on the star clusters seems to be overwhelming, but in fact it only targets an area on the square.
The scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles have rushed to the edge of the square, and now they have not been affected by anything, but for safety ... they have never stopped their pace.
"The light dimmed ..."
After running more than two hundred meters away from the square, the scholar noticed that the surrounding light became more and more dim. It turned to look at the square and saw that the star gathering in the sky had become darker and darker, just like Same as the dead lights.
In the end, Xingju completely dimmed, and when the city returned to dimness, it also twisted its huge body and flew over the city, leaving the place.
The rest is only a square full of potholes and debris.
"Why is this ..."
The mechanical dust crocodile and the scholar stopped and looked at the figure where Xingju left. The mechanical dust crocodile seemed to say very sadly: "This creature has always been a beautiful legend ... but it suddenly attacked us, history There has never been such a thing in the past, why? It is such a beautiful creature! "
"That's just your own imagination."
Suddenly a sound rang out, and scholars and mechanical dust crocodiles found that a beginning was floating towards them.
Although most of the beginnings have been smashed by bombardments, there are still a lot of scholars who have escaped from the square, and so is this beginning.
And it now speaks the dust crocodile language, which allows the mechanical dust crocodile to understand its words.
"What the hell are you?" The mechanical dust crocodile immediately angered when he saw the beginning, "I'm going to dig our solidified bloom!"
"We have a deep relationship with you." Shijing said to the mechanical dust crocodile: "We have you in our world."
"... There are us too?" The mechanical dust crocodile froze: "What does that mean?"
"Two groups of unrelated creatures ... evolved exactly the same." Shijing said: "We are here to investigate the cause of this situation, and we believe that the reason ... is here."
"... What are you talking about?" The mechanical dust crocodile was still puzzled.
"In short, we are not hostile." Shijing said: "We can cooperate, which has many benefits."
"You can defeat the invaders, and we can find what we want."
