Chapter 484 - 485 Identity and Departure
"We're here. That's it."
The tentacles open the vegetation that blocks the view. The purpose is a group of lakes composed of several large lakes, and a wide variety of biological groups are active around the lake.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a black arthropod, which looks like a bamboo worm, with a slender torso and joint legs, but more than the legs of the bamboo worm, with a total of more than 20 joint legs. This posture allows them to expand the largest body with the smallest mass.
These huge arthropods rely on their huge bodies to enter the lake directly. The height of the water is 135 meters.
In addition to these, the more eye-catching thing is the biological clusters flying around, like bee colonies. The initial strong dynamic vision can easily capture these creatures hovering in the air.
It has a pair of compound eyes, four pairs of wings, three pairs of big wings and a pair of small wings that control the direction. Which part with eyes is not the head of this creature. Its head is in the abdomen, where there is a round mouth shaped like a seven gill eel. Unlike the seven gill eel, there are several generals extending in this round mouth. The tusks with unknown function.
The skin color is dark brown, with three pairs of joint claws. Just by looking at this ferocious appearance, you can recognize that these creatures are very aggressive.
In addition to these two, there are many kinds of creatures on the shore of the lake, as if these creatures were having a cross-species gathering.
"At first, what you see now is not one thousandth of all species on this planet. This is only a small part. We haven't finished investigating yet. According to our preliminary estimate, there should be more species than those on Celine."
When looking around and observing these for the first time, the collector explained.
After a while of silence, he withdrew his sight and nodded to his fellow race who led the way.
"...It's really a planet worth leaving behind by the ethnic group. This planet is special enough."
"The material resources of this stellar system are very sufficient, and the survival of such a planet will have little impact on the development of this stellar system."
At the beginning, I simply replenished the water and was ready to return to the universe from the Yuntai creatures. There is still a lot of work waiting for it to do.
The collectors began to return the same way.
"Huh? Is it my illusion? Why do I remember that we didn't walk through here?"
On the way back, the collectors who lead the way still walk in the front and follow behind for the first time.
At first, I noticed that the environment of the original way back was different from the original. The collector's memory ability was very strong, and I didn't forget to make a mistake, so it was easy to find something wrong on the return route.
However, the leading collectors shook their heads.
"No, this is the route we came from. We have marked it."
The collector handed a tentacle to the front of Chu, and the first identified a special pheromone from the tentacle, and according to this pheromone, he first 'sees' a straight route.
"What's going on?"
This situation means that someone is deliberately misleading them, but the problem is that there should be no other intelligent creatures on this planet except them.
And if you want to change the environment, it is impossible not to cause some movement. If there is movement, the collectors will immediately detect it.
The leading collectors signaled not to be nervous at first. They explained as they walked.
"This is a survival strategy for plants in the forest. When there are no animals, the activism of plants will improve. The original position will not change, but the direction of the branches, the curvature of the tree body, etc. will change to mislead animals and make them lost in the forest."
"It is because of such changes that Only then can animals find the water source they have been to before. At the peak of starlight, they still walk around the forest. In order to replenish water, hungry and thirsty animals can only eat the fruits of plants to replenish water. At first, we were also shocked and thought that some intelligent species was molested behind their backs.
After looking around for the first time, he nodded with some enlightenment, but it still had a question.
"Some vegetation has no fruit. They should not have such an evolutionary tendency. Why are they the same?"
"In order to induce the death of animals, the species of this planet are eating each other. Animals eat animals, animals eat plants, plants eat animals, plants eat plants, that's it." A collector answered.
"Of course, there are also microorganisms in it, which together builds a diverse and complex ecosystem of the whole planet."
"On the grassland, such fierce competition should be smaller, right?" First question.
"Yes, there are no tall shrubs in the grassland, which can't block and disturb the sight of animals, so it is another survival mode that is very different from the forest."
"When night comes, the low temperature will stimulate the hardening of low plants on the grassland, which is almost the same as steel. In a more vivid way, the whole grassland is a 'knife field'."
"The predators on the grassland use this to kill their prey at night. The prey will move in order to escape, and then be scratched and bleed by plants. This blood will moisten the low shrubs."
"Don't predators also get scratched by low plants?" I was a little puzzled at first.
"The predators will be scratched, but they heal quickly. Some ingredients inside the low plants can speed up the healing speed and sterilization of hunters, just like the Celine people's drugs."
"Because of such blessing, predators can also be unscrupulously injured without worrying about the consequences of injury, while those vegetarian prey are different. The internal ingredients of low plants can't help them, and they will face the consequences of injury."
The collectors explained to the beginning.
"Isn't the vegetarian prey going to be extinct soon?" historical
"Extinction is not so much, but at a disadvantage. In order to avoid their own destruction, vegetarian animals that are used as prey often grow very tall. Every step is a long distance, and it becomes easy to escape. Although they will still be scratched by low shrubs, the injured area is small and can heal themselves in a few days."
"However, it is precisely because it is too tall that the center of vegetarian animals on the grassland is generally unstable. Once they are knocked down by predators or accidentally tripped, it is no longer possible to stand up again. The low plants on the ground will also cause damage to the fallen vegetarian animals."
Speaking of this, the collectors proposed to the beginning.
"Speaking of which, the base of Yuntai creatures is also regarded as prey by those predators from time to time, and they come to our side for hunting every night, which is very interesting."
"Cchu, do you want to stay on this planet for one more night?"
After thinking for a while, Chu shook his head and refused the proposal of his family.
"I still have my task. The construction task of the ethnic group cannot be delayed. I will come back after the construction is over."
