Chapter 12 Communication

After a period of observation, Lin found that these small stinging cells were only about one-tenth the size of Lin's cells. They seemed to collect rock fragments, gather these fragments to surround themselves, and then stick to the ground to camouflage It looks like a stone grain, and a small hole is opened at the top, which is obviously used for shooting needles.

This kind of cells should usually be disguised as stones to ambush other cells, but why are they related to rock worms? And their attack commands seem to be controlled by rock worms.

But no matter what, Lin can use them like rock worms.

Lin tried to wear these stones with needle-piercing cells on the body of a digger. The digger could clamp these small stones with the teeth on the surface of the body. In this way, the digger had the ability to spray poisonous thorns. ability.

Maybe these stinging cells just landed on the rock worm, and they probably reached a common consciousness after communicating, so they helped...

Do you communicate?

Lin has never tried to communicate with other creatures, which seems to promote a special relationship, that is... symbiosis.

Although Lin didn't try it, she knew there was such a thing.

Lin is now beginning to wonder, why does it know so many things by nature? Shouldn't these things be discovered little by little?

Lin began to feel strange about this, but it was still the same. If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it.

So, Lin turned her thoughts back again.

Now that the stinging cells are obtained, Lin plans to treat them like the rock worms, give them food, and use them as a means of attack.

However, Lin didn't know how to feed them, so it followed the example of rock worms and put some food fragments into the stone holes of the cnidocytes.

In response, the stinging cells suck in the food debris from the hole.

However, Lin still doesn't know how to command these stinging cells to attack, so she is currently only bringing them to a few diggers.

Next, Lin let the cells eat up the huge body of the rock worm, which made its colony grow a lot. Then, Lin turned her vision to the various creatures in this area.

There are many cells gathered in this rocky area, most of them are huge, and they are types that Lin has never seen before, but Lin did not attack rashly. There are so many wonderful attacks of cells, so it is better to be careful.

Therefore, Lin plans to increase the number of colonies. One of the reasons why a large number of cells are attracted here is that food occasionally emerges from the cracks in the rocks here.

It was the kind of soft and white food before. Lin noticed that these foods seemed to come out of the cracks in the rocks. Most of them were in the form of crumbs. water flow.

That is to say, a lot of this food is hidden deep in the rock, and for some reason a stream of water sprayed them from the cracks that brought them from the depths to the surface, attracting a large number of cells.

Lynn started trying to dig these rocks.

However, Lin found that this is a very difficult thing. Even if the acid injector is dissolved first, and then the cone cells are drilled with a cone angle, they can only peel off some stone fragments.

Lin found that there really seemed to be no cells trying to dig up the rock, but some small cells came in and out of the cracks.

Lin began to think that it not only needed huge cells that could store food, but also various small cells that could burrow into gaps.

However, Lin really didn't understand how to become smaller.

In short, Lynn now has a new goal.

If you blindly kill other cells, it is very likely that you will encounter a powerful enemy and be in fatal danger, so Lin plans to develop slowly first.

Lin's community has grown, and her thoughts are also progressing step by step.

Take all the food-spraying crevices around you first, and you'll have an endless supply of food.

thinking,

Lin let the cells spread out, to occupy the surrounding food gaps, and to drive away some small cell groups that were originally guarding around the gaps.

After a while, Lin occupied hundreds of cracks around. The strange thing was that these cracks were all about the same length, and the amount of food ejected was similar, so there was nothing worth protecting, so Lin evenly distributed the cells to occupy the space. each location.

Lin's observers have been floating high, with several cone cells and acid injectors as guards, looking for better targets.

Under the observer's eyesight, Lin discovered something strange.

A huge crack, this crack is extremely wide, on an empty rock plane in the distance, it can be filled with hundreds of Lynn's cells.

From time to time, this huge crack spews out a lot of food, but strangely, there are no cells waiting to eat that food, only a few gray-white cells slowly floating around the distance from the huge crack, but they never Will rush forward to eat the spewed food.

Very suspicious.

Lin asked a few diggers to try it out. When they approached the huge crack, Lin felt a familiar feeling.

Warm... no, it's hot, the water above this crack is pretty hot.

Moreover, this crack is not like other small cracks that maintain a fine flow of water, but intermittent, after an eruption, it will stop for a while, and then erupt again!

When Lin thought of this, the few diggers were instantly hit by the heat flow, and Lin lost her sense of them.

Can the high temperature of the instant eruption kill the digger?

Although the loss of a few diggers is not a big deal when there is sufficient food, Lin still feels a little pity.

At this time, I saw the few gray blood cells floating by the cracks slowly floating up, swimming to the side of the diggers killed by the heat flow, and slowly swallowing them.

I see.

Lin understood immediately, those cells were waiting to eat other cells that were killed by the heat flow.

...then, this heat flow is mine!

Those gray blood cells were probably used to eating free food and had no fighting power at all. Lin's acid injectors easily killed them all, and then occupied their huge cracks.

Of course, Lin also gave this distinctive crack a name, 'Hot Spring Mouth'.

Lin thinks this hot spring mouth will be very useful.

Then, let's continue to develop.

Lin needs more and more intelligence to figure out the problems it doesn't understand.

With a stable food source, Lin's colony is constantly growing, and it also needs to occupy more food cracks. Usually, Lin uses about ten cells to guard the cracks. If it encounters a strong enemy, it will let the cells in other places. Going to increase the number of members, fortunately, there is almost no opponent who can threaten Lin.

Lin also made the cells keep drilling rocks, trying to evolve a type that could dig hard rocks, but it seemed quite difficult. Those diggers and cone cells that had been digging for a long time, except that the serrations on the body surface became sharper, still remained. Still can't do any effective damage to the rock.

Those symbiotic stinging cells will divide if they eat too much. When they start to divide, they will swim out to the rocks to make nests. Lin has to let the diggers catch them again. After a few generations, they know how to swim directly to the nearby digging. fixed itself on the person.

In this way, Lin officially obtained the symbiotic relationship of the stinging cells, although she still did not understand how to order the stinging cells to fire stingers.

In this way, Lin gradually occupied the area of ​​this huge rock spouting food everywhere. When the rock occupied about 20%, Lin's colony had already reached 10,000.

However, it is difficult to expand any further. Those occupying other areas are all huge cell groups. If Lin wants to attack them, she must concentrate her troops, but in this way, she will have to give up a large number of crack guards.

Lin felt a little troubled, but the huge community allowed him to think about more things, and Lin quickly found a solution.
