Chapter 885 Limb Breeder

What creature has four limbs in the morning, two limbs at noon, and three limbs at night?

The answer is...a civilized creature newly arrived on the blue plains.

In order to adapt to the environment in which they live, this kind of civilized creatures will constantly change their bodies to live.

They are called 'limb raisers'. As the name suggests, their limbs are not grown on the body, but raised...

This kind of organism is two to three centimeters long, and its body is like a hairy jade. It is spherical and hairy. It has no limbs. It can move forward by itself, but at a slow speed, but there are many 'interfaces' around the body.

These interfaces allow them to be attached to various limbs that are separate, living beings of another creature, but cannot move without being attached to a limb raiser.

Limb raisers usually put their limbs in a place called a 'breeding pool' and take them out when they need to use them. When the day just starts, limb raisers need to wear strong limbs to hunt, so They will be replaced with special limbs, which are full of muscle-like structures, which can help them sprint on the ground, escape danger and capture targets.

At noon, they will replace these limbs, let the tired limbs of running go into a rest state, and then replace them with two limbs for work. There are many small tentacles at the end of these two limbs, which allow them to grasp things. There are also some fine work, they generally use these two to make tools or build buildings.

After dark, they will wear a third limb. The third limb cannot move, but it has a storage function. At this time, the limb supporter has almost digested all kinds of food eaten during the day, and some excess nutrients will be stored in their bodies. Manufactured into 'compressed nutrient balls' and discharged into the third limb, they store food in large quantities in this way.

What makes Lin feel interesting is that each limb of the limb raiser will not wear these limbs before they grow up. In fact, these limbs are another kind of organisms that live with them. Will be worn by limb raisers.

That's why they are called limb supporters. They can't live without each other, but the limb-raisers are in the 'leader' position in this symbiosis. They have high intelligence, and they constantly want to cultivate new limbs to make themselves stronger.

but. Before they finished this task, they received some kind of information, this kind of information told them that the mollusc creatures in the underground would invade the aboveground world, and if no further measures were taken, their civilization would be completely destroyed.

at the same time. There are also many resources underground.

Therefore, for the underground resources, the breeders formed an army and came to the blue plain under the earth.

Unlike other civilizations, they "just" arrived at a position more than ten meters away from various civilizations here. In fact, the place where they came out was very close to the camp of the ground mirror.

Only a little more than two meters away, the Limb Raiser's troops drilled out of a hole in the ground, and then they quickly occupied the surrounding area of ​​the hole and began to establish their own camp.

Because they popped up out of nowhere, Lin studied their lives and found them to be very interesting creatures.

Earth Mirror doesn't think so.

They're quite upset with this group of limb breeders who are too close together now...

"Move quickly!" "What are those things doing here!" "They are already threatening us!"

Ground Mirror's camp looks more like a small city now. There are towering buildings, a large number of residents, and a wall of shining mirrors around it.

Almost everything is manufactured by the ground mirror directly obtained from the rocks here, which also proves that... this place does have a lot of resources.

Now, there are a large group of ground mirrors on the wall, where they are constantly emitting light, and the objects of the light are the limb nourishers who are setting up camp two meters away.

The camp set up by limb raisers is currently relatively small, without any buildings, but there are many things like pools.

These pools are generally more than ten centimeters in diameter. It was covered with green slime.

And in the slime, there are a lot of... limbs.

Slime is the nutrient for limb organisms, and they will slowly recover and reproduce in it, so these pools are generally called feeding pools.

And around the rearing pond. There are many limb keepers who have assembled four limbs, which makes them look somewhat like four-legged spiders.

At the same time, they also wear armor that seems to be made of metal, and are equipped with weapons on both sides of their bodies.

However, they don't have any armor on their legs, because the legs themselves are very strong, and these are not their own limbs. So they don't really care about losses.

Among these limb raisers, there are also some limb raisers with two limbs. They would not appear together in the first place, but now it is a special case.

Looking at them together, it feels like a group of different arms of a division of labor... But they are all the same, except that they wear different limbs, and some limb raisers even bring a third limb to supplement nutrients.

Those with two limbs are using some 'raw materials' to manufacture various weapons and armor. Because these two limbs cannot be used for walking, the speed of these limb raisers is very slow, and they are protected in the army.

They can't equip limbs with different functions at the same time, because there will be a phenomenon of 'nervous conflict', so they can only use a certain type of limbs.

The ground mirrors are now constantly shining light on them, which makes the limb raisers very uncomfortable. A group of limb breeders has gathered, and it looks like they want to attack the ground mirrors. They line up and aim at the ground mirrors direction of the fence.

"Do these things want to attack?" "We need to kill it first!" "Yes, attack! Attack!"

On the 20-centimeter-high mirror wall, the ground mirrors saw that the limb-raising troops gathered in the distance suddenly became restless, and looked like they were about to launch an attack at any time.

However, after a 'light of reason' came on, they all fell silent: "There is no need to attack, we can wait for them to attack, the resources we want to obtain do not conflict with them."

"Seems to make sense!" "Perform a gesture of approval." "Don't do random things."

Although the ground mirrors decided not to attack, they continued to emit flashes of light, which dissatisfied the limb raisers in the distance, because they didn't understand what the ground mirrors were saying, they just found the lights annoying.

But they have very few troops now, only more than 300, and some of them are manufacturers rather than soldiers, so facing the vast ground mirror on the wall, they wisely chose not to attack directly.

But as more and more limb raisers emerge from the cave, they will fight sooner or later.

'Snapped! ’ Just when Lin was thinking this way, an attack was launched from the ground mirror, which was not actually an attack, but an extremely strong light was emitted from the wall.

At the moment when the light shone, the large group of limb raisers stepped back a little as if they were frightened, and then...

'boom! ’ A limb raiser fired a large amount of mucus from its side, and the mucus shot towards the wall of the ground mirror at high speed, and hit the wall.

No harmful effect.

"They dirty our walls!" The ground mirrors on the wall suddenly became extremely angry, and they shone brightly together. Under the wall, a large number of ground mirrors also climbed up the wall.

In the face of these countless flashes, the limb raisers were not afraid. Those limb raisers with two limbs all climbed into their breeding ponds to replace their limbs, and more and more limb raisers drilled in their caves. come out.

Both sides have gathered a huge army, ready to attack at any time...

Lin looked at them and didn't want to stop them.

Now, there are a large number of spies in the ground mirror, and there are also miniature units floating in the air, and there is even a spy on the side of the limb raiser. Lin mainly uses them to see if there is any special situation.

Because it is very normal for these civilizations to fight, their languages ​​​​do not understand at all, at most they receive some signals sent by the other party, and they have never communicated formally.

They didn't come here with the idea of ​​'commonly confronting the enemy', most of the purpose was for the resources here.

And the micromachines should have thought of this situation. If these civilizations fight on their own first, then their plan to attack soft-bodied creatures will definitely fail.

So...they should come to prevent this kind of war.

"Hit them!"

A ground mirror emits this light.

At this moment, countless spikes poured down from the mirror wall, rushing towards the limb raiser like raindrops.

"Heck!"

The first limb raiser was shot in the head by the spike, and it immediately fell to the ground with a special scream.

Immediately afterwards, there were countless screams, and the rain of spikes fell into the group of limb raisers. Many spikes were bounced off by their armor, but many spikes pierced them .

Amidst the successive screams, the limb raisers fell to the ground one by one. They couldn't fight back against the ground mirror on the high wall far away, so they quickly decided to... all flee back.

The limb raisers then drilled back into the cave where they appeared,

Soon, all the limb breeders here escaped, leaving only the bodies shot to death all over the place, and their breeding ponds that hadn't been cleaned up in time.

From the beginning to the end, Lin didn't see the tiny machines appear.

However, Lin has almost guessed the reason why the micromachines don't come out, it's not that they don't want to stop this kind of battle, but that there's no need to stop this kind of battle.

Lin thinks that some methods can be used to make the micro-machines have to come out to prevent this kind of war.

But before that... Lynn needs to study and see what is newly discovered. (To be continued.)
