Chapter 40 The Age of Monsters
This is the 'army' made by Lin. Each of them is ten centimeters long, and its body shape is mainly bullet-shaped. It can use the last pair of limbs to spray water, and the second pair of limbs is a flat auxiliary movement. For the arthropods, most of them are blade-shaped, and some are spout-shaped, which are used to fire explosive bombs.
There are thousands of this 'army'. Before Lin fell asleep, they dug holes in some large spar and started to make them. However, the production stopped when a certain amount was reached. They were mainly used to explore this new world. At the same time, hunt and decompose interesting things.
The warhead-like structures swim quite fast in the water, they swim in one direction at the fastest speed, and the water surface of the crystallized land has been covered with ice, which has not changed for so many years, in the cold and dark waters, Slug's Lantern found a plethora of fantastic creatures floating around here.
These creatures with round shells and tentacles on their heads are called 'ammonites', which are very similar to arrow stones, except that the cone-shaped shell is rolled up, and the size is only about half a meter. The shell is not suitable for warhead attacks, and Lin doesn't think there is anything worth learning about ammonites... But the interesting point is that Lin doesn't know what ammonites evolved from, maybe some kind of snails? There is absolutely no relevant information in the eye's observational memory.
There are quite a lot of ammonites, and they are scattered all over the water. The warheads swim along this huge group of ammonites. They quickly leave the darkness and come to the area illuminated by the day.
This was originally a beach belonging to giant traps, but these strange giant insects that used their bodies as traps completely disappeared a long time ago. The body shape is not suitable for this place after all. In the memory of the eyeball, the last giant trap seems to be frozen to death by the icicle. The icicle with super high freezing ability will occasionally appear, and Lin still can't explain what happened. ,
Now, covered by a patch of green, but not Lin's green carpet...
This piece of green dances on the seabed like tentacles. They are the evolution of those wild light-eating cells. They stick to Lin's green carpet with their roots, and proliferate and divide a lot, completely covering the green carpet that was originally covered. Area.
Lin's green blanket also has a setting. If it does not receive light for a long time, it will decompose and digest itself, so this area has been completely occupied by this group of green cell evolution types called 'seaweed'.
Lin thinks it doesn't matter, because the nutrients obtained by directly eating seaweed are much more efficient than the green blanket's slow synthesis of light energy. Then the seaweed will be cut off, but now the warheads are not responsible for doing this. Lynn is more interested in some creatures in the seaweed group.
The warheads swam to the top of the algae jungle, and Lin found some huge creatures wandering among the algae bushes. They were about two meters in size. They twisted their thick and streamlined bodies to chase those smaller creatures in the water.
'Shark', Lin's new word can describe this kind of creature that evolved from the flatfish. The flatfish used to be rare and small in size, but now it has evolved quite a few different kinds of creatures.
This is a peculiar thing. Lin generally thinks that the same creatures can evolve different appearances only if they are far apart, but it seems that this is not the case, and creatures in the same area may also grow different appearances.
Why is this? Lynn doesn't care that much.
A shark is chasing another fish in the algae. This fish is more than half a meter long and has a pair of thick flippers on both sides of its body, so it is named 'meat-finned fish'. The chasing meat-finned fish quickly rushed out of the seaweed group and quickly fled towards the surface of the water.
Shark is a creature that evolved for hunting. It has a big mouth full of sharp teeth on its head, and its flat fins are more suitable for high-speed swimming. It catches up with meat-finned fish at a very fast speed. His mouth instantly tore off large pieces of meat from his body.
The other sharks feel that their companions have succeeded in the hunt,
They also gathered around and planned to share. In the evolution of the past dynasties, the perception ability of these creatures has become stronger and stronger. Even if there is no fluctuation in the water, some creatures can still know the exact location of the target even without eyes. Lin knows that it is An ability called 'smell', but what exactly is smell? Lin is still not clear, this must be studied.
However, sharks also have good eyesight, but Lynn knew from the eyeball records that sharks should have the best sense of smell of all creatures.
The evolution of the eye is also reflected in some organisms. Lin found that the eyes of ordinary single-celled organisms can only perceive light and cannot analyze complex images. Until the emergence of multicellular organisms, the eyes of many organisms are still the same. Creatures with eyes capable of resolving complex images.
Well, Lin was supposed to have no intelligence in the past, but that wonderful crystal-like object that the observer ate gave him vision, and even later the cells would imitate the structure of the crystal and combine to form an eyeball.
What exactly is that crystal? This is still an unsolved mystery, and all the crystals that Lin has discovered so far are different from it...
Let's think about this later, and sooner or later, we should find this kind of 'vision crystal'.
Now, the sharks quickly finish eating the meat-finned fish, and then they spread out again. Unlike the flat fish that like to mix and live in groups, these sharks have gradually alienated their counterparts in evolution...
After they dispersed, the warheads swam towards the closest shark, who didn't take the ten-centimeter warheads seriously, but they were wrong.
The shark found itself too late when the warheads swarmed up, slicing through the shark's skin with their sharp forelimbs. Others attack the shark's softer gills.
The shark didn't want to fight back at all, but twisted its body crazily to escape into the distance. It rushed out of the seaweed group at a very fast speed and fled towards the water surface.
The warhead group followed closely, and the wound of the shark continued to spurt a large number of cells, which attracted its fellows, but these fellows did not come to help it, but wanted to eat their own companions.
They have become so individualized that they even devour their companions. Lin never understood how sharks could evolve such a strange form of survival...
Lin split part of the warhead to drive away the chasing shark, while the remaining hundreds were still chasing the escapee, until it was forced to the side of a huge ice floe that had lost its way of retreat.
However, before the warheads could make a move, the huge floe beside the shark suddenly cracked open, and a barbed sickle blade stretched out and caught the shark.
this is……
At this time, the huge floating ice slowly cracked open, and under the shattered ice debris, a glittering figure appeared, covering the entire body with crystal armor.
This creature is more than five meters long. Lin is very familiar with this creature, because it is the evolution of the ice crystal monster...
At first, Lin didn't understand the living habits of ice crystal monsters, but through years of observation, Lin found that mature ice crystal monsters would return to the crystallized land to breed, while small ice crystal monsters would only leave the place after they had grown to a certain extent.
The overall appearance of the ice crystal monster has changed very little, but its size has increased, and the whole body is still covered with crystalline armor. Its forelimbs are specialized into barbed scythes, and there are two huge eyeballs on its head. There is no doubt that this creature has a The ability to instantly kill sharks.
In this era full of hunting, Lin found that the more leisurely way of activities was no longer applicable. It should have completely surrounded the sharks just now, so that they would not be robbed.
Now the warheads may not be able to damage the ice crystal monster, so the 'ace' who has been sleeping with Lin must be dispatched...
The mouth of the ice crystal monster is a crack full of blades and serrated pliers. It can easily tear the shark, but even if it is covered with crystal armor, the huge ice crystal monster has enemies. A huge creature is swimming slowly from a distance. It was attracted by the corpse of a shark...
Its ancestor is the flatfish, but it evolved from the flatfish into the helmeted fish, and then evolved from the helmeted fish. It is also the largest creature in Lin's observation and memory so far.
Ten meters in length, this giant fish has a head covered with strong armor, but it is different from the useless and obstructive head armor of the helmet fish. The end of its head armor grows huge blade-shaped sharp teeth, and at the same time it divides the head armor into upper and lower parts. Both ends, so that they can open and close and crush their prey.
It rushed directly to the ice crystal monster, and tightly bit the carapace on the side of the ice crystal monster's body. Just turning its head, it easily tore off a large piece of broken crystal armor.
It has a strong pressure, and can even crush the armor of the ice crystal monster. The ice crystal monster dropped the shark, and the powerful water spray device on the hind limbs quickly escaped.
Although the giant fish is strong, its speed is not good at all. It had to give up the ice crystal monster and eat the little shark.
What a fun environment...
Lin found that it was watching the play almost from beginning to end, but there was still a lot to gain, so next, let's be more serious and let it appear to recover all the interesting things!
