Leviathan Plain is slowly floating forward. There are still many creatures in this plain. A group of emerald creatures are playing with each other. Lin found that many of them like to stand on their hind legs. Although they are small in size, this evolutionary way has gone through a long time. Now Lin wants to know what caused them to evolve before being separated from other creatures.
Reptiles appeared long ago, but they should have evolved quickly without large arthropods, but the question is when did large arthropods disappear here?
There are many social creatures in reptiles, but there are no division of labor creatures at all. These creatures have evolved in very different ways. I wonder if there will be creatures as powerful as the northern continent in this continent?
Leviathan is now close to the direction of the jungle. There are ten huge Camarasaurus eating leaves on the edge of the jungle. These long forest edge trees are like a large fern about five meters high. Their bark is as hard as scales, and the leaves are as sharp and sharp as long needles, but the Camarasaurus eats them without effort.
This scene is particularly twisted. There are quite a few creatures that eat twisted trees in the jungle. Large arthropods are almost all carnivores, but reptiles actually prefer to eat plants when they get bigger.
When they saw the leviathan slowly descending, each of them gave a roar. They seemed to be particularly fierce, but Lin ignored them and leviathan flew into the jungle.
The jungle is full of creatures, arthropods and reptiles. The whole jungle is filled with clear air. Although there is not enough oxygen to maintain the size of large arthropods, this may be the reason for the huge reptiles.
There are many kinds of plants in the jungle. It seems that all the ferns are huge, but none of them are as crooked as twisted trees. They are all straight. There is a thick tree in front of Leviathan, but this tree is strange. It is like …
Bang!’
Suddenly, the whole tree split in the middle, and several small needles were shot at Leviathan from the crack.
Chapter III Sweeping away the Plague
A large number of small needles hit Leviathan’s shell to make a small sound. None of them can penetrate Leviathan’s shell, but one of them has pierced Leviathan’s tentacles.
Lin felt a strange liquid pouring into her tentacles. This is not venom, but it seems that there is a special ingredient, like … some creatures secrete liquid when they are excited. Usually, creatures secrete such ingredients to make themselves excited, and their activities will become rapid at some time. Of course, Lin doesn’t need Lin to directly make the cells excited.
But why is there a liquid that excites living things in the needle of this tree? If it is a carnivorous plant, it should shoot venom or something.
Lin controlled the vasoconstriction and squeezed the liquid out, and the crack in the tree slowly closed at this time.
The overall skin of this tree is red, which is quite conspicuous compared with other trees. The trunk is thick, about two meters in diameter and about three meters in height. The tree has quite dense branches and leaves like plush.
This tree, which is normal except for its color, emit this strange needle?
Because I saw a tree nearby, I plan not to decompose it, but to explore the surrounding area first. Lin also wants to find out if there are any living reptiles on the other side of the canyon to build a pile of bones to resist fungi.
In the Leviathan jungle, while observing the forest creatures, the target moves slowly in the mountain direction. All kinds of small creatures in the jungle run past Leviathan, and Lin names and classifies them. Lin feels that these creatures should be separated from reptiles and belong to some separate special species, such as …’ dinosaurs’.
Lin found this word a long time ago, but she has never found a suitable creature to use.
At the same time, Lin also found another problem. The original purpose of Lin’s research on biological evolution was to learn from it and let itself evolve, but now it is almost always because of’ fun’. Although there is nothing wrong with it, we can’t forget the original purpose.
Now Leviathan is exploring more leisurely, and Lin has turned her attention to the sea.
Bombers and Bessemer are looking for traces of plague fungi off the mainland. Fungi infected the mainland and drifted to the sea. They didn’t cross the rift valley. Lin already knew that they would die in the fog of the rift valley. It seems that the fog gas has an effect on them.
There may be some flying creatures flying out and infected with fungi, but they should all fly through this fog when they go in and out and then be’ disinfected’, but there is no guarantee that 1% will not have fungi entering it. Maybe the creatures inside will have some resistance
If it is a small amount of bacterial dust, then the infection is growing very slowly, not much faster than ordinary fungi. Even ordinary biological epidemic cells can destroy them at this stage, but at the same time, it is estimated that no organism can resist it if it is infected with a large amount of bacterial dust.
In addition to Lin Xin’s newly developed arms.
Now, Bessemer has found an island infected with fungi, which is 50 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is quite small, but its surface is covered with a large number of pestilence fungi, which are huge like trees, mushrooms, grotesque like corals, and fluffy balls like mosses covered with soft hyphae on the ground. It seems that there are many different organisms, and they are all the same species.
After Bessemer flew to a certain distance from the island, the bacterial dust could not float to this position. At this time, Bessemer hit the muzzle and dozens of jetties fell from it with a roar and hit the ground covered with hyphae, causing a dust mist like snowflakes.
These dusts and fogs are all germ dust, pestilence, and fungi will transform all their nutrients into floating germ dust after consuming everything. All grotesque structures are in a better way to sow germ dust, and their different structures can occupy every airflow in the atmosphere, ensuring that most germ dust can be dispersed with the wind.
Although Lin thought it would be nice to grow into a mushroom, his structure was redundant. Of course, fungi have their own ideas, and Lin was not interested to know what to do now is to destroy them.
The jetty slowly cracked and a huge … slime appeared from the inside.
In fact, it is a kind of organism that looks like jelly, not cells, but a lot of subminiature multicellular arms that are bigger than amoeba. Although small, they are very capable.
For plague fungi, Lin thinks this is the best. The attack of plague fungi is very simple and the general fungi are very similar to their hyphae, which grow like plant roots. Then this’ root’ will secrete a solution to pierce the biological shell or bark into the area where cells flow, then suck the cells, and then grow more hyphae to slowly devour the cells.
Their number and growth rate can cope with other biological bonds, and in a short time, they can transform the obtained nutrients into themselves and continue to grow.
But Lin, a slime, will eat fungi in turn and grow itself. When the bacteria dust penetrates into their epidermis, the troops in the upper layer can secrete a faster and stronger solution to dissolve these bacteria dust, and the silk thread will be stretched out to completely decompose these bacteria dust into its own nutrients. After that, the troops inside will gradually increase and grow with slime, covering the island like fungi.
Therefore, this kind of slime is named’ bacteriophagus’.
This name comes from a virus, but that virus obviously has no ability to stop plague fungi, so it is better to give this name to this slime.
A large number of phagocytes were released from the capsule, and their hyphae spread all over the ground and crawled slowly. When these hyphae touched their bodies, they grew like crazy. They stretched out several hyphae and plunged into the phagocytes, but these hyphae were quickly dissolved. At this time, the phagocytes would pause and quickly hand these dissolved hyphae to the’ core’ of the body for decomposition, and at the same time, more troops would be created to move slowly.
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, fungus dust keeps coming. The fungus eater must deal with all these things. If it is covered with too much fungus dust, some of them still have a chance to grow. Lin must swallow the melted residue faster and absorb it, which can’t let the mycelium get nutrients first. The fungus eater keeps swallowing nutrients at the core and then splits into more troops to grow up. When it grows to a certain extent, Lin will make new cores to deal with more fungi.
In this small war, Lin slowly eroded the whole island, plague fungi …
Chapter IV Sneakers
Lin watched the fungus eaters grow bigger and bigger, devouring the fungi on the whole island. All the nutrients and water they needed for growth were plundered from the fungi.
If this is a plague fungus, then the fungus eater is a fungal plague.
All the dust on the surface of the phagoides pteronyssinus is slowly eaten away. It is very rare for plague fungi to secrete dissolved solution, but it is not without corresponding methods that the dissolved solution of phagoides pteronyssinus can transform nutrients.
In this way, eventually, the fungus eater will replace the plague fungus to cover the island, and then the core will gradually become bigger, so that all the nutrients will gather together to form a huge egg, and then Bessemer can recycle this nutrient and do many things.
In this way, Lin can benefit all plague fungi. Although I don’t know how many islands will have these fungi, I am afraid that they will be infected. Later, Lin asked the bombers and several fungal islands near Bessemer to solve the problem. Lin found that some islands have been infected for a long time, and the nutrients are exhausted. Fungi still rely on rain and attract island flying fish or marine creatures to live for a long time. When they rely on flying creatures that occasionally pass by, they can spread bacterial dust to a considerable distance.
When Bessemer came, he continued to sweep the nearby islands with the bombers and the fungus eaters. After these islands were cleaned up, plants should grow again, but they had to be cleaned up. Lin found that some hyphae extended deep underground, and they seemed determined to extract all nutrients, but the fungus eaters could also grow similar hyphae’ tentacles’ to extend deep underground with the hyphae.
They are trying to live and Lynn is trying to destroy them. I wonder how long this war will last. But if there are fungi, Lin will fight because their life is an extinction.
Moreover, they are rich in nutrients, although the ashes can be eaten after the fire, but the nutrients are much less, or they eat the most nutrients alive
While Bessemer is working hard, Leviathan is slowly exploring.
At this time Leviathan also found some interesting creatures in the jungle.
Leviathan is now located deep in the jungle, where the trees are far apart, which is suitable for large animals. Lin saw the second large creature outside the Camarasaurus, which is called the stone beast dragon. It is an obese creature with a body length of about 22 to 3 meters and a height of 17 meters. Lin estimates that each one weighs about two tons, which is a very large creature.
This creature has two long teeth in its mouth, and they wander in groups in the forest to dig bark and eat the inner structure, as well as dig up the roots of some short plants and so on
There is also a small creature around the stone beast dragon, which Lin will call’ shield-headed dragon’. This kind of dragon head seems to be hardened like a ball. Their limbs move and their size is half that of the stone beast dragon. They follow the stone beast dragon to eat the debris and a small plant they dug up.
There is a simple symbiosis between these two herbivores. Lin found that many of these reptiles like to eat plants. They prefer to eat these creatures that can’t move and hide rather than fight with other animals, which makes Lin feel that they are weaker than arthropods. They don’t have armor and hydraulic skins like arthropods, so they are relatively not thick enough and lack many means of attack. All they have to do is dig plants, which is quite simple.
However, plants are not easy to deal with. Although they have no brains, they will come up with many ways.
Lin found that most plants in this jungle are poisonous. They are not poisonous in normal state. Some plants secrete toxins when their leaves and bark are torn, some grow a lot of spikes, and some produce a strong irritating ingredient called’ spicy’.
This is very different from the twisted jungle. Although twisted trees can defend against flames and flashes, they are not poisonous, which is different from the fact that large arthropods don’t eat them very much.
And now Lin is not quite sure what’s going on with the plants that shoot’ exciting needles’.
But Lin thinks it’s not them that are interesting, but another creature that tracks these herbivores.
Because of plant toxicity, these herbivores will not eat the same tree for long, and they will shift their targets before they secrete too much toxin. It can be said that the target is to bite east and bite west, and there is a small carnivore following them.
This creature is called’ the original dragon’ by Lin.
These creatures stand on their legs and move quickly. They are very small and about 17 meters long, which is about 5 kilograms. They can climb trees with sharp claws. Now there is a dragon hiding in the branches of high places and observing the dragon group of stone beasts.
