How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 244 Eating and being eaten

The quiet sea of ​​clouds was suddenly broken by a giant beast. It rolled, twisted, and twitched. It seemed to be suffering unparalleled pain.

Suddenly, it froze and turned its head mechanically towards a floating island creature, approaching it. Its huge body lay directly on the side of the floating island creature, like a dead fish washed up on the beach. In fact, it had already Dead, killed by the 'prey' it swallowed.

The tough carapace on the back was broken from the inside, several tentacles pinned to the outside, and an egg-shaped creature crawled out of it with the help of the tentacles.

Who designed this creature, why are there still serrated teeth in the stomach, it hurts so much, what is the meaning of the serrated teeth in the stomach?

Perhaps to prevent creatures like us from breaking through from within?

Maybe, but it turns out that it's useless. What should come will come anyway. It's really lucky that it eats so messily, and it's not afraid of eating something wrong.

Speaking of which, we finally landed. It's really not easy.

yes.

First, he was attacked by a huge number of biological groups, and then he was swallowed by this giant creature. He went on a one-day trip with thousands of knives and ten thousand scrapes in his belly, and it also came with various corrosive gastric juice drinks... Thanks to Yong Continuing that they possess unique skills now, they would have died long ago.

Once again, I am sincerely grateful that Hou Ming made things difficult for us...

I agree.

By the way, how did these creatures come from?

Looking back at the long-dead monster behind him, the body is covered by tough scales, and its mouth occupies one-third of its body size. Like the collector, it relies on the internal cavity to achieve the levitation effect, but it is more powerful than the collector. Their design is better, and they can adjust the ups and downs similar to submarines.

They all have life fields, and they should be related to those of the same race who stayed behind. Ask them after you find them.

Of course, it won't change if you beat me up before asking, just make trouble for us.

Perpetual proposed its own idea, and the other collectors agreed with it, putting the issue aside for the time being and continuing to search for the previous radio emission source.

It was originally just a simple pick-up task, but it was so complicated.

Simply circled around the floating island creatures, and found nothing, only occasionally saw two or three flying creatures that had attacked them before.

At this time, the flying creatures didn't show any intention of attacking, maybe they were full. Since the opponent didn't want to find fault, they didn't bother to fight, it was a waste of time.

If there is anything on the floating island that the collectors care about, it is probably the vegetation. 'Vegetation' is the division of the aliens. The collectors have no such boundaries, but they have similar honeycombs, rhizomes, and giant structures.

But no matter what they are, they all have a characteristic, that is, they have a certain degree of function and lose their power of action. Of course, they are to achieve a certain purpose, either individually or collectively.

Therefore, part of the attention of the collectors was attracted by the vegetation, and they wanted to understand the significance of the existence of this species on the floating island by the way, and learn about the entire ecosystem of this planet from the side.

Then, they really had a bit of a surprise discovery...

First of all, the appearance of these vegetation is not as luxuriant as the plants on the earth, because it does not need photosynthesis, so there are no leaves, and some are just bare branches.

There are countless holes in these vegetations, which are enough to make people with dense phobias die suddenly on the spot. At first, the collectors couldn't understand, thinking that some small creatures caused the damage, but after further observation, they found that it was The vegetation is deliberately grown this way.

The high-speed air flow will pass through the small holes of the vegetation. In fluid mechanics, when the flow is at a constant height, the flow velocity is high and the pressure is low. The proof experiment is to blow air between two pieces of paper, and the pieces of paper will spontaneously Fitting together, these vegetation use this principle.

The gas flows through the small hole at high speed, creating an inward attraction in the small hole, so the blood of the vegetation will be accelerated by being squeezed when flowing through the small hole, and the vegetation uses this kinetic energy to synthesize organic matter.

This organic matter accumulates and stores at the ends of the branches, so that place is swollen with irregular clumps.

It's an interesting design, none of us would have thought of a way to harness wind energy in this way.

This should be the basis of the production capacity of the entire ecosystem, but how to solve the matter in this ecosystem? Energy cannot exist independently of matter.

It should be obtained from the floating island organisms. The two species seem to be in a mutual beneficial symbiosis. The floating island organisms provide materials, and these wind-blown vegetation provide bioenergy.

Continuing to go deeper for a certain distance, the collectors noticed the creatures crouching on the wind-blown vegetation, and they sucked the organic matter stored at the ends of the branches of the wind-blown vegetation.

The appearance is wide and flat, and the whole body is dark. It looks like a manta ray, but it has no tail. It carries three shark-like fins on its back. When the collectors approached, they startled them, like frightened birds in the bare woods Scurrying, slow but nimble.

Since they are not aggressive, they are too lazy to deal with them, but another group of creatures hiding in the dark have to deal with them. Another kind of creature is waving a sickle on the tree, accurately crucifying and eating small creatures , and occasionally jump from one tree to another to shift hunting locations.

The opponent's protective color effect is very good. If it is not for the help of the life field, even the collectors with excellent eyesight will find it difficult to catch the opponent's figure.

Perpetually, they noticed this aggressive creature, and the other party also noticed them, but the other party just looked at them from a distance, and had no intention of attacking them. Close to the ground, there is not a safe place for this kind of creature, and now there is plenty of food, there is no need to risk getting close.

However, it is not absolutely safe to be on a tree. Just as the aggressive creature was about to jump to another tree, sharp claws suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed the creature.

The collectors adjusted their sight distance, and quickly saw the true face of the intruder. It was the flying creatures that lasted when they approached the floating creatures. The predators who were slaughtering wantonly just now became The food on other people's plates was torn apart bit by bit by the other party's fangs and claws.

For collectors, weak flying creatures are overlord-level creatures on these floating islands, and they belong to one of the species at the top of the food chain...

A small creature resembling a manta ray was eaten by piercing bodies with uncompromising precision as it passed around the egg-shaped creature.

It's not very delicious, at least according to the taste of those aliens.

The biological energy provided is not much, which is really a waste. I kind of miss the organic groups synthesized by the honeycomb over there.

Hey, hey, don't mention this, okay? I'm thinking about what I said.

The gatherers are still exploring...
