Vol 4 Chapter 21: Distant relatives

There are many kinds of creatures here, such as fluorescent empty jellyfish, fluorescent small limbs, fluorescent small lizards, and new creatures that Linde has never seen before. Their bodies are star-like. , wandering in the jungle.
Lin grabbed some of them to break down. These creatures were infected by fungi, just like the dragons and locusts that Lynd had seen, but the fungi that infect them were more special, and some of them grew to the surface. At the same time, they do not control their behavior. They also have the habit of being infected before, and there is no predation relationship between them. These creatures feed on fungi, and the fungi will have some structures to give them food.
This feeling is like a fungus feeding them, but it seems that these creatures are not eaten by fungi at the moment, maybe not yet?
Among these creatures, there is a kind of Lin that cares a lot. It is a small beetle with a crystal carapace like a crystal...
A group of creatures found this group of creatures in a small lake, swimming in the water, collecting the hyphae in the water.
These beetles are... Chibucha? It seems that there are only four limbs, and the shape is also very similar. They should have been extinct in the twisted jungle.
But it looks a little different, no matter how much, grab one to break it down.
But when the explorers were close to the water, the beetles ran out in an instant. They hid in the mud at the bottom of the water. The action was quite quick. This feeling was quite strange, because other creatures on the island would not escape like this. It is estimated that For a long time, they have not encountered a threatening relationship, but these 'Qi Buchao' have retained the threat consciousness.
But although they were hiding at the bottom of the lake, they were not buried deeply. The slight light emitted by the carapace of the body exposed their traces. The explorer extended his tentacles and easily grabbed a beetle from the underwater mud.
The beetle struggled frantically as soon as it was caught, and it tried to bite the explorer's tentacles with his mouth in this environment. Their offensive consciousness is still quite strong, but it is easily swallowed by the explorers and quickly begins to break down.
Sure enough, this beetle is also parasitic by fungi. They are quite different from Chibbug, including some structures in the body, but in general they can be counted as one. The gap is like a large pterosaur and a small pterosaur.
The species types of Lin are not only looking at the appearance, but also looking at the germ cells. If the germ cells of the two organisms cannot be combined with the offspring, they can be regarded as two different species. Of course, their offspring must also be able to live. Some gaps are quite large. Although species can breed together, they cannot be born.
The biggest difference between Chibucha and Twisted Jungle here is that they are not divisional species. They are all the same size, and they seem to need sound to communicate with each other.
The beetles of these beetles are very transparent like crystals, but these carapace are not crystallized, but a transparent shell with many hyphae that glow like stars in their carapace.
The biggest difference between them and other species here is that there are no fungi in their internal organs, and the fungus is only in the carapace. And it didn't extend to the brain.
Speaking of it, Lin first saw the fungus, which was in the twisted jungle of Chibbug, they planted fungi to eat, and wouldn't these plague fungi be made by this other Chibha worm?
It doesn't look like it, and how can they make a devastating species? However, if they are really related to these fungi, it would be better to call it 'Plague Chibcha'.
Sure enough, we need to continue to study, in addition, these Chibucha worms have a large proportion of brains. About a percent, about a full percentage higher than the ancient !!
However, Lin did not break down the dragon, so I don't know how many dragons there are, but the dragon may be bigger.
Next, after Lin asked the returnees to confirm that the fungus was not infected, Lin asked some of the planes to go out on the island to explore deeper places, and several of them went to track the location of Monte II.
In the process of the explorer's exploration. Lin found a lot of globular structures, they are constantly sending velvet containing fungus out of the island, but some of them are not working, I don't know why.
In addition to several organisms that are active in fungal woodlands. There is no other animal. There is no complicated environment here. It is a relatively common form. Some species depend on the fungus life on the island. The biological richness is even less than the beach on the island. Lin asked Beth Moss to grab a handful of sand and find dozens of creatures in it, and there are only a few species in the fungus forest.
Now, the two pilots who explored also found the location of Monte II.
What is the situation?
Lin found that Monte II was in an open space between the forests. It was attached to a mushroom in the center of the open space. It seemed to be stuck by something. It couldn’t move at all. A large group of Qibucha Surrounded by it, it seems like there is a voice in the shadows...
Lin continued to observe for a while, they seem to have continued this kind of action, almost no change, but these odd cloths will occasionally 'shift the shift', some will stay longer, and then there will be new out in the jungle. Join.
Suddenly, Lynn noticed that there was a Chibucha worm that was full of nervous emotions and ran to the group of Chibha worms. It ran panicly to one of the group’s singular worms, as if they were saying something. .
This Chibcha seems to be the leader? Lynn saw that the carapace light on it was not the same, the color was deeper, and the light spot was more. They were not the divisional species.
After the leader heard the panic, there was a scream, and immediately shouted, and a group of Qi Bucha in front of it turned and rushed into the jungle.
They also have a different point: they can't fly, they can only move by running. Lin thinks that the Chibbugs reported to the leader just now that Lin's explorers are catching them. Now they are sending troops to look for them. Bacteria.
These species are very weird, and Lynn feels it necessary to ask about Monte II, which should understand the language of the brainworm.
It is now caught in that movement, so let them see what is called art.
Monte's location is about three kilometers from the beach. Behemoths on the beach has aimed the muzzle at the target area, then... oh! ‘(To be continued.
