In front of it is an endless beach, empty waters, and countless weird multicellular creatures in the sand. Behind it is a thick layer of ice. It is estimated that there is nothing but ice-solving bacteria.
What should Lin do? go ahead? Still back?
Lynn doesn't know the power of these multicellular creatures. After all, it loses a lot when facing the round shield worm, but Lynn doesn't want to retreat. This may be an opportunity for evolution, and Lynn needs food.
These creatures don't seem to move, but they are fixed on the sand. Lin may be able to find a look that is good to deal with and kill it.
But Lynn doesn't know which one is good to deal with, and the size is not the key point. The most obvious example is the virus. It is so small, but it is so scary.
These multi-cellular organisms are very large in size, and you can get a lot of food by just killing a Lin.
Thinking, Lin's aircraft carrier began to swim. It floated above these biomes, and the tentacles with the eyeballs looked for the target below.
In the end, Lin targeted the creature in the sand. The creature is round and long, and the length is the same as that of Lin, but the thickness is only about the thickness of the carrier. It is inserted in the sand with a round handle. Supporting the flat body to sway in the water, it is clear that Lynn is close to this. It is capturing the cells that are washed by the water.
Lin intends to call it a 'leaf worm'. Although Lynn doesn't know what ‘leaf’ is, it has a feeling that suits it.
The body surface of the leaf-shaped worm has a striped structure, and the gap between the lines is covered with a large number of flagella. If a single cell that has swam through hits it, it will be caught by the flagella and then pulled in and eaten.
Lynn feels that this creature is a bit like a former self, fixed on the rock, capturing the creatures that swim, and living a passive and boring life.
Sure enough, it is right to give up that kind of life. Just like this, you can only be hunted for food.
The aircraft carrier slowly approached the leaf-shaped worm, and after confirming that the opponent did not have any counterattack ability, she raised the hammer-type tentacles and slammed it on the leaf-shaped worm.
However, this seemingly flat, smashed worm caught the attack. It didn't bend in the body, and it stood still in the sand, and the stripes on the surface did not hurt. Only the whiplash above has shrunk in.
It’s hard, so is this the reason they don’t move? It seems that the leaf-shaped worm, like the round-wound worm, is covered with a very strong hard shell, but unlike the movable shield worm, the body of the leaf-shaped worm has no joints and no mouth, and the flagella in the edible shell is indented. After that, it became a creature without weakness.
However, Lin's hammer can't be knocked once. Under the constant support of the blood vessels, it can quickly and continuously wave the tentacles. The hammer squats on the surface of the leafworm again and again, in countless hammering. Then, the leaf-shaped worm finally could not hold the figure and began to shake.
The leaf-shaped insects do not have any counterattack ability. They can only use hard shells to resist external attacks. Other creatures may give up when they start to bite, but Lynn thinks that this kind of non-stop hammering helps to evolve, so It will fight harder.
Eventually, the shell of the leaf worm could not stand the hammer of Lin, and there was a crack on the surface of the body, and some of the internal cells flowed out of the crack.
Lin's devourer immediately dispatched and swallowed up all the remaining cells.
Then, Lin continued to attack the cracks, making the wounds bigger and allowing more cells to flow.
Lynn has a strange feeling that these cells have no attacking ability, why do they flow out from inside? If the outer skin of the carrier is torn, the cells inside the aircraft carrier will never leak out. Even if it is a blood vessel, Lin can stop the heartbeat and let the things inside not be discharged.
But other multicellular creatures... can't seem to control their own cell flow?
It’s weird.
Lin did not care so much, continue to hammer the outer shell of the leaf worm, although Lin's hammer is also damaged, but Lin does not care to continue to attack, anyway, repair is very simple.
The outer shell of the leaf-shaped worm does not have the hardness of the round shield worm, and it is a sandbag that does not move. Under the attack of Lin, the crack of the outer shell is more and more, and the shell of the slowly surface begins to be chopped and detached. The soft multicellular structure is exposed to Lynn's eyes.
Ok? Sandbags? It seems to be a very fun word.
Lin thought about it, letting the devourers move, biting the structure of the leaf-shaped worm, and turning everything into a nutrient for the growth of Lin.
Lin found that the leaf-shaped worms also have a blood vessel-like structure, but they do not have the 'pump' of the heart, but instead drive the water flow through a kind of whisker-like cells in the blood vessels, except for some Somatic cells, or simple combinations, in general, there is nothing worth learning about...
The only useful thing about leaf worms is that it can be eaten.
Lin's devourer quickly ate the leaf-shaped worms, leaving only a pile of broken shells. Although the leaf-shaped worms are long but flat, eating one is not enough, but eating another one is enough nutrients to resurrect the round shield worm. It is.
After recovering the full-fledged devourers and repairing the wound on the hammer, Lin began to look around and look for the next target again.
Ok?
Lin suddenly noticed that there was a disc-shaped thing on the sand in front.
Is this a creature?
Lin swims over and carefully observes this stuff. The surface of this disc-shaped object has spiral stripes, half the size of the aircraft carrier, and the lower half is buried in the sand. I don’t know the specific size, although it should look like It’s a creature, but Lynn never saw this thing moving, nor how it preyed.
Knock and take a look?
Lin's wielding hammer slammed on the disc, and the disc did not move. Lin felt the pain of the hammer's tentacles rebounding back.
The hammer-shaped front end of the tentacles is not felt, and Lin can still feel pain, which means that the muscle cells inside the tentacle have been injured.
To what extent does this thing have to be hard to have this effect? In short, it is not the hardness of the leaf-shaped worm. This disc is even harder than the head shield of the round shield worm.
A strong thought instantly appeared in Lynn's mind.
What is this kind of thought? Lin didn't know how to describe it, but it knew that when she hit the outer shell of the leaf-shaped worm, Lin's thoughts produced a kind of ‘possible broken and’ hopeful.
When playing on this disc-shaped creature, Lin’s thoughts instantly produced the idea of ‘no hope’ and ‘nothing to break,’ and even a hammer would not crack a crack.
However, Lin did not continue to experiment, how does it know that this will happen?
By the way, the word is called 'computing power'?
As long as you have the first time, you can associate the final result with what you have obtained.
It feels good, Lin may have this ability very early, but it is really realized now.
Lin gave up and continued to attack the disc, although it might be possible to dig it out, but there are many leaf-shaped worms around, which is not worth the waste of time.
Lin swims to a smaller leafy worm nearby, and begins a continuous hammering attack. Soon, this sandbag will also become Lin's nutrients.
This beach is full of leaf-shaped worms. It is a wonderful place for Lin. If you eat them, it is much more efficient than eating those single cells, and these sandbags will not fight back, nor will they move. There are no other predators like the Shield worm, and there is nothing better than this!
Lin will use the resources here to grow and evolve in the next step. As long as it is strong enough, it will no longer be afraid of other predators.
Lin, who thought so, did not seem to notice that there was something in the sand below the aircraft carrier that was squirming...
