4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 35 Glacier Digger

Under the frozen world, a plush ball was slowly floating.

The pom-pom was tying the ball of record with the fluff on his body and flew towards the northern continent, but it was very far away, so it would take a long time to arrive.

However, Lin did not rush back, but floated leisurely while observing the scenery.

Because, now there is a rare landscape below.

The ocean below has no visible waves and sea water, it is a frozen layer of ice, and above the ice layer, there is a large group of... corpses.

These corpses are a type of fish called bladefish. These fish have sharp horns on their heads and huge fins on their sides. They can leave the water for short flights. They are more than two meters long. The fish may have smashed through the ice and rushed out, but fell on the ice and could not return to the water, so they were trapped here.

Or were they carried by a storm?

There are hundreds of them. The pompom flew to a corpse, because the corpse did not rot because of the cold. This can be used as a supplementary nutrient for the pompom. in the mouth.

what is this?

After pulling off a fish scale, Lin found that there were a group of small and bright red creatures inside the fish. They were about three centimeters long and looked like shrimp creatures. By the way, this is the kind of creature called krill .

But this is different from common species. They can not only move on land, but also have arthropods like blades that can cut through fish. They may smell fish, so they drilled out from under the ice.

A group of marine life lives on top of the ice. This is really rare. If that's the case, then don't eat this for now. The pom-pom turned to the carcass of another nearby fish and pulled the scales away with its tentacles.

This... what is it? correct……

Among the corpses, the pom-pom saw a purple object. Suddenly, the entire fish corpse burst open, and a standing scorpion rushed out from the fish corpse!

It clamped the ball of record held under the pom-pom with its forelegs at great speed, and immediately spread all its limbs after grabbing the ball. The membrane connecting the limbs formed two wings, which flapped its wings and flew quickly into the air.

Maybe, the brain-creating monster I saw before is being pursued by the scorpion? Speaking of which, Lin is not quite sure where Li Scorpion lives now, so it may not be a coincidence to meet him here.

Seeing the Li Scorpion flying farther and farther in the air, the pom poms suddenly accelerated, charged like a bomb, and approached the target in an instant.

Li Scorpion was startled to see the pom-pom catching up, it immediately accelerated, but the pom-pom moved faster, and the hair on the pom-pom stretched out like an explosion. A lot of hairs wrapped around the body of the scorpion, and some bristles with sharp needles at the end pierced into the joints of the scorpion. Li Scorpion suddenly seemed to have lost its strength, and could no longer continue to flap its wings, and fell from the sky.

'Boom! ’ With a sound, Li Scorpion knocked out a big hole in the not-so-thick ice layer, and the pom-pom and Li Scorpion entered into the icy water below together.

The pom-pom retracted the fluff and took away the record ball held by the scorpion. At this time, another pom-pom floated into the water from the ice hole above, and it flew out holding the record ball.

Lin also has a lot of pom-poms nearby. They were originally used to find Muktu. Because they couldn't find them, they wandered around. Because they were very close, they could meet at any time.

And this pompom hugged the head of the scorpion, and a lot of fluff protruded from the gap in the carapace of the scorpion. They gently penetrated the body and quickly spread to the brain of the scorpion...

Lin recently used a method called 'memory reproduction method' to read the memory of a living being, that is, to see what kind of brainwaves flow in the memory area of ​​the creature's brain, and then change the same brainwaves in the brain.

Under the synchronous brain wave convection, Lin can 'see' things very clearly, but only in the recent past. If you want to see older memories, you have to use the 'material reproduction method', which is more complicated.

It turned out that this scorpion lived there with its kind on an island not far away. They seemed to be building the pyramids according to the original method, but this time they used ice blocks to build them.

But they still seem to be doing some strange things. Lin found that in his memory, he was digging in a mountain with other scorpions.

They seem to be digging something big, but this part is old and a little fuzzy.

The brain of a scorpion is the same as the brains of many creatures. Recent memories will be recorded by brain waves, while some important memories from a long time ago will be recorded in another way. If you only use brain waves, you can only see a little bit. .

And the most recent memory is the scene where it and a group of the same kind are chasing the brain monster. They seem to want to get the brain monster's record ball, but later found that the ball was taken away by the pom-pom and changed to try to ambush the pom-pom...

Lin felt the need to take a look, because now Lin is always looking for something interesting, otherwise it will be too boring before the moon comes.

Lin let the scorpion sink into the sea, and the pom-pom flew out to the island where the scorpion lived, which was about 100 kilometers away, not very far...

……arrive.

Is this the island of scorpions? A small island several kilometers long and several kilometers wide.

There are no plants or anything else on it, as if it was originally a wasteland. There are several pyramids made of ice and a mountain more than 200 meters high.

It is better to say that it is a big rock, because the whole is square, the scorpions gather under this rock and seem to be constantly digging something, and some scorpions are dragging some marine fish over, giving them The scorpions that are being excavated eat, while the other scorpions specially transport the snow and the sand dug away. Most of them are in the form of flying scorpions, but some scorpions have other appearances.

Li scorpions are now more and more like a division of labor species, but they still maintain the obvious characteristics of individual creatures. Lin can see many standing scorpions sitting there chatting when they are tired of digging...

The pompom floated down and changed color and entered invisible mode. After getting close, Lin could clearly see what these scorpions were digging at the foot of the mountain.

They dug a lot of pits at the foot of the mountain, and basically each pit had the same thing. The first pit seemed to be the legs of some kind of large arthropod, and the second pit was a carapace fragment of an unknown creature.

And the third pit... Lin saw something familiar...

This is the Inca swarm... the shadow monsters. (To be continued)
