Vol 5 Chapter 54: Dust of life


This is the fifth multicellular creature...
Leviathan is now in the cave under the Ashes Island. Lin found that there are many moon-rich creatures on the surface. Leviathan is now looking at a creature in front of him and observing and recording it.
This creature is called 'Gold Mushroom' and is a sponge-like, very soft and highly toxic creature.
This thing is more than one meter high, the whole cylindrical shape, like a mushroom standing on the ground, there is no organ in the body, Lin found that its only food is the dust floating in the surrounding air, its body has a number of small holes, through the inside The cells move to absorb the moisture and food in the surrounding air, and some are like the original filter-feeding creatures.
At present, in addition to the ‘snow monster’ that I saw before, this is the largest multi-cell creature that Lyn sees, but the structure is very simple, others are small and live with the fungi in the pool.
In fact, the gravel can't be considered as 'big'. After all, it is a polymer of many small gravel.
Although these creatures have the same composition, but the structure and the creatures on the 'pocket' are very different, Lin found that they do not use oxygen, because there is almost no, but another way to replace oxygen.
It may be another gas in the month, or something else. At present, they have not completely studied their internal structure, and their circulatory system is very different. They do not look like 'blood vessels'. Very basic structure, but using some special cell extrusion to transfer energy.
I don't know if all the creatures are like this, or the kinds of creatures that are currently discovered.
Now, Lin is mainly looking for some big creatures. And there will definitely be there. because……
‘Boom...’ I thought of it. Leviathan heard a rumbling sound from outside, and the island of Ash was once again ready to erupt.
‘Hey! 'With the sound, Levyton felt a strong suction. I saw a huge amount of dust rushing in from the hole. It was like a sandstorm that swept through the cave. After the dust storm passed, the ground and the pool There is still a lot of dust in it, and Leviathan’s body is covered with a thin layer...
There is more dust pouring into the depths of the cave. There seems to be something there... sucking in the dust.
The dust was originally sprayed from the bottom to the surface of the island, and here as a cave on the rock wall, it is unlikely that there will be any dust entering, and at most some of the holes will gather...
However, these dusts are the main source of life for the creatures here, because there are many foods that can be decomposed, and the fungi and other creatures in the pools need to break down the dust.
And Lin is thinking about how they get these dusts, and this phenomenon has appeared...
At the same time as the dust rushes, a powerful attraction is also generated, which the gushing dust into the cave. And it will last for a while, so that the dust reaches the depths of the cave.
The scattered dust is basically decomposed by those fungi. Then the larger creatures eat those fungi, so that the layers grow slowly up, and finally to the big creatures.
if so.
Now, Leviathan is uncovering what is causing this attraction.
In the cave of Leviathan, there are sounds of water droplets everywhere, and the top of the cave often has water droplets, and then gathers on the ground into a puddle of a beach.
This seems to have created the environment in which they live. The water may come from the sea, but the material inside is not so complicated, it seems to be more 'pure'.
Suddenly, Lin found that Leviathan’s light reached a moving thing. It drank water beside the puddle, and even if it was illuminated, it did not react at all.
The creature looks like a cylindrical stone that is more than a metre long. The body is covered with a thick needle. It is now leaning on one side. Lynn sees a small hole at the end of the needle on the side of the body. And sticking out something like a tongue from the inside is constantly licking the water in the puddle.
This is what the sixth multicellular creature looks like.
It seems... it doesn't seem so strange.
Leviathan was trying to get closer to see that the creature suddenly felt as if it was normal. It shrank the ‘tongue’ back and then rolled off the ground at a very fast speed on the ground.
This is obviously a creature that is good at tumbling, but Leviathan chased it up faster and extended his tentacles to grasp the cylinder that was rolling on the ground.
At the moment of grasping it, it slammed a large amount of liquid from the needle in the body.
This liquid seems to be highly toxic to their creatures, but it is nothing to the velvet creature.
After Leviathan put the micro-arms into this creature for research, Lin found that this seems to be a similar species of gravel before, although this is not a polymer, but its shell structure and gravel gravel are the same composition, and The shape inside it is also like a gravel.
But it is very big, and like all the creatures here, it has no eyes.
Wait... is this the case...
While exploring, Lynn's mini-arms found a site with a lot of fat stored at the end of its body. It seemed to be a storage area, but Lynn found that there were many white substances in the storage.
That's right, this is... white cream!
Thinking, Lin immediately put down the creature, and Leviathan quickly flew deep into the cave.
There are puddles everywhere, and Leviathan investigates the puddles at the fastest speed and searches for the microbes inside. So far, Leviathan has discovered dozens of fungi, but No one is familiar to Lin.
Suddenly, Leviathan stopped.
Because there is another creature in front, this creature is only 30 centimeters tall, it looks like a plant called 'radish', but this 'radish' is standing upside down, with three slender legs on the ground go.
Sure enough, the biological looks here are wonderful.
However, Leviathan's main attention is the location of these 'radishes', there is a pool, and the pool is different from others, although it is also very turbid, but the color inside is mainly white.
Leviathan immediately flew there, and the ‘radish’ was suddenly scared away. Leviathan flew into the pool and immediately reached into the tent and tested the ingredients inside.
Sure enough... there is a white cream inside.
The fungus that lives in this puddle is one that Lynn has ever seen. It can be named 'White Paste', the bacteria that the creators bring. They seem to break down the dust and make it into a white paste.
However, the white cream made by these bacteria is not the same as Lin’s. I’ve tried to break down the white cream and found that there is a toxin in the white cream, no matter the creature on the moon or the pompon. The creatures have an effect.
This toxin is relatively basic and can damage the cell's synthetic system, but it has no effect on itself.
This is also a matter of course, because the reason they make white paste seems to be used for storage, not for other creatures... However, there should be some creatures to eat them, just like the radish just now. I am going to eat them, and the cylindrical creature I saw before seems to be able to eat white cream.
They seem to have nothing to do with the creator, but a separate fungus.
However, the creators may have used their ability to make white cream, and finally they were made a non-toxic white cream, which was then used to feed their swords.
But what about the process between them?
This is very difficult to investigate. I don't know what kind of form the creator reached on the 'pocket ball'. Maybe it was primitive at first, and then slowly evolved into that look...
Now, Leviathan continues to move forward and seems to be approaching the bottom of the cave.
In the light of Leviathan, there are more creatures here. In addition to the previous radishes, Lin also saw some stone-like creatures, most of which are only a few centimeters, relying on extremely slow creeps. Way to crawl on the ground...
Not only the ground, but at the top of the cave, Lynn also saw something wonderful. It looked like a soft silk thread spread over the top of the cave, reflecting the sparkle of light under the illumination of Leviathan.
These creatures are called 'worms' by Linde. The structures that look like silk are actually collections of fungi. They seem to be specifically shaped to obtain dust, and they also directly acquire moisture from the top of the cave.
The most biological creature here is the radish. Because I didn't think of any good name, I called the radish directly.
They ran very fast, ate the white cream in the surrounding puddles, but they didn't eat much. Lin estimated that they should wait until the body removes the toxins before they can continue to eat.
Lin saw a radish running on a beach of sand, which suddenly moved and wrapped the whole radish inside...
Sure enough, the gravel blame relied on such pretense to hunt food. It did not seem to eat the things in the puddle, but relied entirely on hunting to live.
Leviathan made some observations here. In addition to the previous ones, Lynn also discovered some creatures like stone-like creatures. They acted extremely slowly and relied on the fungi in the puddles...
The creatures here are really rich, although there aren't many creatures here, even if they are frozen, but Lin thinks there are more kinds of creatures here, and there are still some huge sizes.
Leviathan has now stopped in one place, and it seems to have come to an end. There is a wall in front of Leviathan, and there are many cracks on the wall.
This is where the dust is sucked. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
