"They already know ... they are coming!"
Above a high mountain, a signal tower composed of Phoenix is sending a signal to the depths of the void.
Xueguang gathered around this group of phoenixes, looking at the group of creatures they thought could save them with anticipation and doubt.
They want to know what Phoenix wants to do. The current mainstream idea is that they think Phoenix should illuminate the world ... and bring them endless light.
Why does Xueguang have such a legend?That is another complicated and long story.
But they didn't know that Phoenix just wanted to call the same kind and move the mountain away.
Phoenix is still sending signals continuously. They think their signals have been communicated to the same kind ... But Lin thinks it is not.
Because in the distance their kind did not respond, but ...
Some creatures here have responded.
Not long ago, Lin made a lot of miniature arms and let them spread on this 'snow field' to observe everywhere.
These scattered micro-arms can find that the entire snowfield responds to the signal of the phoenix ... many places are blazing with flames.
These are ... those torches.
After the extinction event, all kinds of chasing creatures disappeared, and the torches they wore went dormant and were left in place.
They all fell to the ground as if they were dead and there was no movement, so Xueguang did not try to use these sleeping torches.
But they all seem to be ... waking up now.
These torches burned one by one ... Lin's tiny arms flying in the air quickly landed around the lit torches and began to detect them.
The torches themselves will die quickly if they are not parasitic on any creatures, and these lit torches are now quickly becoming weaker and weaker.
And the reason they light up ... Although it seems that it is because of the signal of Phoenix, Lin investigates and finds that it is not.
They received another signal to stimulate their nervous system before they all wake up ... and the source of this signal is ...
"what is that!"
On the high mountain, the phoenixes became instantly excited.
Because the source that made all torches awake ... is approaching the mountain.
Whether it was a phoenix or the surrounding snow, Lin also noticed that it was ... a very large object.
It has a diameter of more than two hundred meters, and its shape is like a lava.
Generally speaking, it is a liquid object that emits flame light.
"This is ... regeneration tank, why does it float out?"
For this group of lava-like objects, Xueguang was most surprised.
Because the lava itself ... can be said to be the source of the torch.
So Xueguang also called it "regeneration pool".
The reproduction of torches is mainly through "regeneration pool" to reproduce. During the "season" of reproduction, torches will sprinkle a lot of fine particles.
Usually chasing creatures will collect these particles and bring them to the vicinity of the 'regeneration pool'.
The regeneration pool usually looks like a lava lake, and the chasing creatures will throw the particles generated by the torch into it.
After a period of time, the regeneration pool will erupt like a volcano, and the regeneration pool itself will soon disappear, leaving nothing in the original place.
After it erupts, there may be torches on the chasing creatures around them ... they will quickly absorb nutrients and grow on the creatures, and then repeat the above process.
Of course, it is the chasing creatures that help the torch repeat.
This is the entire life cycle of the torch. It is indeed like the ecology of some parasitic organisms. When the larvae are sprinkled on a large scale, they are parasitic on any target they come into contact with.
However, although it was sprinkled on a large scale, there are very few torches that can grow into afterwards. Only one or two torches will grow on the nearby chasing creatures during each eruption.
It's just that there is a small problem here, that is, where does the regeneration pool come from?
Why does the torch need it to reproduce, and why does it disappear after eruption?
Many chaser creatures in history have tried to control the regeneration pool in order to control the appearance of torches, but the regeneration pool disappears after each eruption, and then randomly appear in different locations.
Even if there is no eruption, it will disappear after a while ... This results in no creatures at all controlling it.
There are also some chasing creatures who have thought about living around it, because the regeneration tank itself also has an anti-coagulation field.
It's just that its random appearance makes these ideas impossible to implement. Although it is said that there is more than one regeneration tank ... but they are too elusive.
Now something strange is happening.
The regeneration pool ... the whole floated over.
Lin was also sure that it sent a signal to wake up all torches, which is equivalent to killing all torches.
Because torches do not have any parasitic targets, they can only wake up and lie dead in place.
Lin felt that this regeneration pool should be of all torches ... a role like a manager, which controls the reproduction of torches, and it is also possible ... to monitor chasing creatures.
"What is that! We seem to have attracted creatures that should not be cited!" "There is no record in our biological database, it is a very new creature." "What should we do about it?"
Although Phoenix is usually very combative, in fact they are sometimes very cautious ...
For example now ... they do n’t intend to attack immediately, but wait and see the situation here.
And the other party seems to have such a plan, the lava floating in the sky has no action.
This situation lasted for about a hundred seconds, and Lynn found out that Phoenix had plans to do something.
"We should hit it to see if it will hit us." "But hitting it casually will cause danger!" "But, it should still be hit!"
Because there are only more than one hundred phoenixes gathered in the signal tower, there are hundreds more that can move freely on the ground.
After discussing for a while, these phoenixes decided to smash each other with some rock debris on the ground.
'boom!'
So Lin found that a few stones were forcibly thrown by the Phoenix ... and fell into the lava mass.
Like throwing it into ordinary lake water, the stone caused ripples on the lava.
This effect ... feels amazing.
The lava mass also moved at this time.
It suddenly boiled, and numerous bubbles appeared on the surface. These bubbles quickly exploded, and a lot of salutes were sent out to the Phoenix from it.
These salutes made Xueguang appear in shock again.
Because that's a lot ... torches.
