4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

1194 1194 The depth of the ice world

here is....

The abyss of the ice world.

No matter it's up, down, left or right, it's a thick ice wall, Lin came to the depths of this world ...

And here is a frozen cave.

Lin accidentally discovered this cave while exploring the ice and snow tumbler, and this cave seemed to lead to a very deep place ... Therefore, instead of digging this cave, Lynn let a small disc enter the cave deep to explore .

The disc was flying slowly in the cave, looking at the ice walls on both sides, Lin felt that this was a place where some kind of creature was specially dug out, because there were traces of excavation on the cave wall.

I just do n’t know when it was excavated ...

The temperature here is a bit higher than outside, but it is not enough to dissolve the frozen objects here, and it is not just ice here, most of the composition of the cave wall is rock or something.

It is estimated that this is the reason for making the structure here stable.

But the most important thing is that there is air inside, although there is no oxygen, but it is filled with a harmless gas, so the sound can also be heard here.

The disc radiated light and slowly flew deep into the cave. As the scenery on both sides continued to recede, a wonderful thing appeared in the range of the light shining on the disc.

Is this ... a creature?

On the ground in front of the disc, many things like mushrooms appeared.

This 'mushroom' has no handle, it looks like a mushroom head attached to the ground, and the diameter of the surface is ten centimeters, and it is ice blue, with a pattern composed of spots and circles ... It feels very similar to the mushroom It looks like.

The disc flew over the mushrooms, and they were in large numbers, almost paving the way ahead. The disc extended a tentacle from the bottom and grabbed a mushroom and pulled it up.

'Snapped!'At the moment of pulling it up, the whole mushroom shattered.

Lin looked at the debris in the disc tentacles. It seemed that this kind of thing was made of ice. It felt really interesting ...

But is it a creature?In short, it is called snow mushrooms.

Thinking about it, the disc flew over a large number of snow mushrooms, and when it passed, the disc tried to poke them with tentacles.

These things feel like ice, and are fragile and fragile. Although they have not been analyzed in detail, Lin feels that this kind of thing has no cell structure.

As she continued to fly deeper, Lin discovered that the cave became more and more spacious, and the number of snow mushrooms also increased. They covered the bottom of the cave like grass.

These snow mushrooms seem to grow on the ground, but they don't actually fix their 'roots', they are just placed on the ground ...

'Snapped!'Suddenly, there was a sound outside the light range of the disc in front ...

The disc immediately turned off its light and flew to the top of the cave. While hiding itself, the disc also extended a tentacle with special vision to look in the direction of the sound.

'Snapped!'The sound rang again, as if something cracked on these snow mushrooms.

I saw ...

This stepping on the shiitake mushroom appeared in the eyes of the disc. This is a huge creature ... But, it seems that it is not a creature suitable for this environment ...

Because it looks like a multicellular creature, this creature is more than two meters long, and its body is covered with very long hairs, and its legs are completely covered with hair, so it ca n’t be seen, but Linjue only has four limbs. That's it.

Why is there something like a multicellular organism here?

However, this is definitely a creature. Sure enough, there is something alive here, and it still moves with its limbs.

Lin let the disc approach the creature slowly. It didn't seem to notice the disc at the top of the cave, but walked on the ground. Lin found that it was collecting those snow mushrooms.

It walked on the ground, stepped on the shiitake mushrooms, and then took away the broken pieces.

The way to take it is very interesting, it will lie on the shards, covering all the shards with fur, and when it stands up again, the snow mushroom fragments will disappear.

After collecting some debris, the creature went back in the direction of going back.

And the disc just followed the top of the hole behind it. Lin found that it was covered with snow mushrooms along the way, and part of it was crushed by it.

The strange thing is that it didn't collect all the debris, but only collected a part ... maybe it just selected the parts with better quality?Although Lin did not know which part was better.

The disc has been moving with the long-haired creature, and Lin is also observing it carefully. Lin found that the head of the long-haired creature exudes a little light, and it seems to use the same way of seeing the object as the disc.

Even if the light is emitted from the eyes to observe the surroundings, although the light is very dim, it is enough to see the surrounding environment in this place ...

Is this long-haired creature also a creature with vision?That being the case ... it may not be the native species here, but from outside.

It may be trapped here for some reason. This place is a cold and dark underground tunnel. Coupled with this is a world without the sun, it is impossible for ordinary multicellular organisms to live.

Lin thought she would encounter creatures like black metal here. Why are there many cells here?Was it brought over by black metal?

In the process of thinking, Lin also found that the front passage is becoming more and more spacious, the original width is only about two meters, and now there are more than ten meters.

And there are more strange structures on the ground, like vertical prismatic icicles, potholes covered with snow mushrooms, and ... water?

Lin saw a hole in front filled with liquid. At a distance of more than ten meters, Lin could feel the heat inside. The pit seemed to be a special place.

However, the long-haired creature completely ignored the liquid in the pit, but ran directly past it, and the disc continued to follow it ...

But when passing through the pit, the disc flew down and checked the liquid inside a little ...

This is not water. It is another kind of liquid. It is estimated to be in a gaseous state at ordinary temperature, but the pit on the ground seems to be dug out specifically to contain this liquid.

Continue to fly forward with the long-haired creature, the channel in front becomes narrow again, and at the same time, Lin sees a huge door appear in front.

This door is made of stone?

A stone gate was blocked in front of the passage of the cave. In fact, it was more like a stone wall, but the surface was too flat, obviously made by creatures.

The long-haired creature crawled to the front of the door, then arched hard with its body, and pushed the door straight back.

At the moment the door opened, Lin saw a wonderful environment.

Inside is a vast space, and inside is full of hairy creatures.

The diameter of this space is more than fifty meters. It is still the environment of the cave. There are many prismatic icicles on the ground, and there are things like crystal clusters. And there is light here, and the top of the cave has grown. A glowing object like a plant illuminates this place.

But the most conspicuous thing is that a large group of long-haired creatures covered the whole place. They were basically lying on the ground, and they were motionless, feeling like they were asleep.

No, it seems not to be asleep, but ...

Lin saw that the long-haired creature came into the group of these creatures, it was lying among them, and then there was a sound of "click" on her body, only to see its back cracked and crawled out from inside A thinner creature ...

This creature is about 1.8 meters long. Although it is about the same length as the original one, it is much thinner. Its whole body is covered with an armor like ice crystals. After coming out, it crawled to the center of the cave and knocked on the ground A cave suddenly appeared on the ground, and it got into this cave ...

The disc did not immediately follow, but stayed in this place.

It turned out that the long-haired creatures I saw at first were not creatures, but something like armor?

Before the disc flew to a long-haired object lying on the ground, it stretched out its tentacles and examined it carefully ...

There is a crack that can be opened and closed behind this thing. It seems that the creature came in here to control this set of long-haired armor, and inside it ...

Lin tried to open the armor, but it seemed impossible to open it, so the disc used a tentacle with a drill to drill the outer layer and let the tentacle drill into the armor ...

It turns out that it is quite warm here, and this should be able to maintain a temperature suitable for the life of multi-cellular organisms here, and ... it seems to have other functions.

The disc made the cracks on the armor bigger and bigger, and then the entire disc was drilled into the armor. There seemed to be a lot of interesting things in it.

There is something like a video device on the head, which can be used to display the outside scenery, and you can also set some settings inside through the movement of the forelimb, like the temperature in the armor or something.

This thing is not used for combat, mainly for warmth, and can also be used to collect things. Its abdomen can be opened to accommodate a certain amount of things ...

It feels ... much like the technology of the virtual people.

Do these things have anything to do with the virtual people?They are indeed very close to the Void People, and they will arrive only after sending it twice ...

Although this wandering world may not stay in this position all the time.

There are so many armors here ... that is, there are many creatures living here?It seems to have the value of research. Although they are not protists, these creatures should have some contact with black metal or the virtual people.

Thinking, the disc got out of the armor and flew to the center of the cave.

The creature came from here before, and there should be an institution here.

The disc tried to knock on the ground, but nothing happened ... but when the disc hit hard, the ground opened.

A cave appeared in front of Lin ...
