4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 258 The Mystery of the Underground

"Huh... I finally solved it, these things are really easy to burn. ~~~~"

The brave man was staring at a charred creature's corpse in front of him, and then he looked at the plants next to him.

"On the contrary, these plants are not easy to burn."

The nearby plants with thorns that look very dry will not burn if they encounter flames, but the creatures called moles can easily burn.

"Then, now it's just you..."

The hero looked at the last remaining creature in front of him, a creature that was special among moles.

It has armor with thorns on its body, and this does not look like it has grown out, but it looks like it is set on the body.

"Do these creatures make armor?"

"Ugh!" The moment the brave man thought so, the armored mole suddenly swooped up, the brave man immediately dodged to one side, and then slashed at the mole with his sword.

‘Crack! ' With the heavy blow of the blade, a bunch of spikes were chopped off the creature's body, and the brilliance of the flame ignited where it was hit.

However, it only burned for a few seconds and then disappeared... The armor of this mole will not catch fire, just like the surrounding plants.

"Woooo!" The mole suddenly turned around and knocked the brave man out.

The brave man hit a tree full of thorns, but it stood up in the next second and looked at the mole again.

"Its attack method seems to be very common, then, use this method..."

The mole rammed again, and the hero put his hand on his head.

‘Beep! ’ A beam of light instantly hit the head of the charging mole, and its front legs suddenly swayed. fell to the ground.

The Brave's helmet contains a small laser transmitter. The launch can be controlled by eye movement or by hand. The hero has a lot of strong "equipment" almost all over his body, which makes it able to cope with many environments.

Looking at the fallen creature in front of him, the brave man withdrew his sword.

"My mission here is to find some more powerful creatures... and then use their 'information' to create new demons,

So far, I haven't seen any powerful creatures...but this one is special. "

The brave man walked in front of the mole's corpse, and it suddenly kicked hard, and the armor on the mole suddenly cracked, revealing the skin underneath.

"Sure enough. This is the armor that was made." The brave took out the block and patted it down: "Then we may encounter something similar in the future."

With that said, the brave man continued to walk into the depths of the jungle...

…… Thousands of seconds later.

"This...is it their lair?"

In front of the hero, a special place appeared, a building made of trees.

This building is very large, it feels like... a castle, occupying a ground of tens of meters in diameter, the surrounding walls are obviously made of surrounding plants, and the top is filled with a large number of small objects, which looks like a huge amount of The spikes stuck together.

So far, no creatures have been seen. The hero did not see the entrance to enter.

It walked to the building and touched it carefully. Then I walked around the building to confirm that there is no entrance at all.

If so, then climb up and take a look.

The armor on the hands and feet of the brave man has small barbs similar to arthropods, which can easily climb some vertical cliffs, but after climbing up, the brave man does not see any entrance.

However, it saw some holes. The top of the building was glued with a lot of thorns, and it was not so dense. There were some holes on it to see the inside.

"These things are really gathered inside."

From the hole, the brave man saw the creatures inside, and there were quite a lot of moles inside, and these moles... were all wearing armor, and some were half-through.

"So that's how they were dressed?"

The brave noticed that these moles were 'licking' their unarmored companions, spitting out a large amount of liquid from their mouths, which quickly hardened on their bodies and formed new armor.

"So the armor is made like this?"

The brave believes that these abilities may have some effect, and information on these moles should be collected.

But how should it be collected? It feels a little dangerous to rush in directly. Although the hero thinks he is very powerful, it will not challenge too many opponents.

When the hero hesitated, on the other side...

…………

That's right, here's what it looks like.

A red pom-pom was flying high in the sky, because the brave man was on the ground, so Lin came to see what happened in the sky. This is a vast underground environment, and some strange spheres are mainly used to create light.

And what exactly is this ball? What Lin has confirmed so far is that it is a transparent thing with a flexible 'rope' that makes it hang on the roof of the cave.

The hanging sphere is filled with liquid, which emits strong light, but does not have any temperature, and at the same time, these liquids seem to be highly toxic to ordinary cellular organisms.

But the temperature here is relatively high, so the creatures here can thrive, but there seem to be many... secrets here.

Thinking, the pompom floated to the ground.

The brave man doesn't seem to be interested in plants, so Lin needs to pay attention. These plants are very interesting. They are very different from ordinary plants, such as the way of reproduction.

The pom-pom now flies before a tree-like plant that is as spiky as any other plant, except that it is now multiplying.

Instead of making seeds, these plants reproduce by dripping some liquid from the tips of their spines.

Lin saw that the plant was dripping liquid on a sharp thorn, and the liquid would harden after dripping on the ground. Hills ten centimeters high.

This hill is the larvae of this plant, it looks like a stone, but... as long as you keep observing, you will find its changes.

...Lin observed it for several days and nights, although there is no day and night here, it is always so bright.

But the plant will continue to grow, and the small hill that initially dripped into it began to sprout spikes, and slowly it took on its... 'mother' shape and began to grow.

I don't know how long it will take to fully grow up, but it should be very fast, and they obviously rely on this method to reproduce.

It looks like a way of reproduction by division, large plants will protect their 'reproductive cells' with a liquid and then drip out, a relatively simple, but convenient way of reproduction, and this plant reproduces in this way It can quickly fill a large area, so the whole place is full of these kinds of plants. I saw them in various shapes and looked like different species, but now Lin thinks they may all be similar.

Lin also checked the bodies of plants a little. They also absorb light energy, but the absorption capacity is not strong. Lin estimates that most of them rely on the nutrients in the ground.

In addition to this spiky plant, there is also a 'lichen'.

In fact, they are just like lichens. They are often seen gathered around spiky plants, and they have a special function.

The liquid of spiky plants hardens quickly in the air, but this lichen has a special ability to turn hardened plants back into liquid to absorb.

However, lichens can absorb limited liquids, and their ability to liquefy is limited. At the same time, they cannot affect the skin of the main stem of the plant, so the plants here can continue to grow. Lichens generally rely on the thorns shed by plants for food.

The creatures here are all unrecorded by Atlan, and Lin thinks that they may have become very different from what they used to be in these hundreds of years.

However, looking at Atlan's information, Lin can confirm that the creatures here were creatures that Atlan knew before.

However, there are still some creatures that Atlan knows, such as 'mole'. The appearance of the mole and Atlan's record has not changed much, but they seem to have wonderful abilities, such as here...

The pom-pom is now floating in a clearing in the jungle, where there are things like ruins, and there are various, broken and collapsed buildings everywhere.

The buildings are all made of stone, and most of them look like 'tents', as well as some stone pillars, decorations, etc. They are all lying on the ground now, but you can see their original appearance.

However, there was one thing that was undamaged - a statue.

Standing in the center of the ruins, the statue looks like a standing mole, looking up at the sky, holding a weapon that looks like a rock stick.

but……

It seems that its appearance is inconsistent with the current mole, because the mole seen by the brave now cannot stand, and the structure of the hand is not the same, the current mole cannot hold things.

But why is there such a statue?

Moreover, they seem to have established quite a few villages, but none of them are still functioning properly.

Lin felt that she should check elsewhere to see why they disappeared, Lin felt that although the mole became so special and somewhat related to Atlan, it should actually be related to another kind of creature.

This kind of creature may be the creator of this underground space, and it is also the creature that caused this world to become a wandering tumbler...

Because Lin has always suspected that this world is a void bus, a fully grown void bus

However, unlike the moon, it is "alive", and it can still observe the surrounding environment and maintain its own state of stability.

Therefore, Lin wants to find it and see where it can have a 'conversation' with it. It should be paying attention to the development of everything in itself, and it may have the ability to teleport. (To be continued..)
