How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 485 Agreeing and Leaving

Here we are, right here.

The tentacles pushed aside the vegetation that blocked the view, and the goal was a lake group composed of several large lakes. A wide variety of biological groups were active around the lakes.

The most eye-catching of them is a black arthropod creature, which looks like a stick insect. It has a slender torso and jointed legs, but it has more legs than stick insects. There are more than twenty pairs of jointed legs in total. Such a posture Let them expand the largest form with the smallest mass.

These huge arthropods directly entered the lake with their huge bodies, and the height above the water surface alone was 135 meters.

In addition to these, the more eye-catching ones are the biological clusters flying around, like a swarm of bees. Chu Chu's powerful 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 large wings and a pair of small wings that control the direction. The part with the eyes is not the head of this creature. The circular mouth of the lamprey is different from that of the lamprey in that there are several large fangs with unknown functions extending from the circular mouth.

The skin color tends to be dark brown, with three double-jointed claws. Just by looking at this hideous appearance, it can be recognized that these creatures are very aggressive.

In addition to these two types, there are many creatures gathered on the shore of the lake, with a wide variety, as if these creatures are having a cross-species gathering.

At the beginning, what you see now is less than one-thousandth of all the species on this planet. This is only a small part. We haven't finished the investigation. According to our preliminary estimates, it should be more than the species on Serene. More.

When looking around and observing these for the first time, the collector explained to the side.

After being silent for a while, Chu, who retracted his gaze, nodded towards the fellow leaders who led the way.

...It is indeed a planet worthy of the ethnic group to stay, this planet is special enough.

The material resources in this star system are very sufficient, and the survival of such a planet has little impact on the development of the population in this star system.

Chu Chu simply replenished the water and prepared to return to the universe from the Yuntai creature. The group still has a lot of work waiting for it to do.

The collectors started to go back the same way.

Huh? Is it my illusion? Why do I remember that we didn't walk here?

On the way back, the collectors who were still leading the way walked in front and Chu followed behind.

Chu Chu noticed that the environment of returning from the original route was different from the original one. The collector’s memory ability is very strong, and he did not forget the mistake, so Chu Chu easily found something wrong with the return route.

But the gatherers who led the way shook their heads.

No, this is the route we came from, and we have marked it.

The collector handed a tentacle to Chu, and Chu recognized a special pheromone from the tentacles, and according to this pheromone, Chu 'saw' a straight route.

How is this going?

The present 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.

Moreover, in order to change the environment, it is impossible not to cause some movement. If there is movement, the collectors will immediately notice it.

The collectors leading the way signaled that there is no need to be nervous at first, and they explained as they walked.

This is a survival strategy of the plants in the forest. When there are no animals, the motility of the plants will increase, and the original position will not change, but the orientation of the branches, the degree of curvature of the tree, etc. will change. to mislead animals into getting lost in the forest.

Because of such changes, some animals can't find the water source they have been to before, and they still walk around in the forest during the peak of the star's light. In order to replenish water, the hungry and thirsty animals can only eat the fruits of plants. To replenish water, we were also taken aback at first, thinking that some intelligent species was behind the scenes.

After looking around for the first time, he nodded with some understanding, but he still had a question.

Some vegetation has no fruit, and they should not have such an evolutionary tendency. Why are they like this?

In order to induce the death of animals, the species on this planet are eating each other. Animals eat animals, animals eat plants, plants eat animals, plants eat plants, that's it. A collector replied.

Of course, there are also microorganisms in it, and together they build up the various and complex ecosystems of this entire planet.

On the grassland, such fierce competition should be relatively small, right? Chu asked.

That's right, there are no tall shrubs in the grassland, which can't obscure and disturb the sight of animals, so it is another survival mode that is completely different from the forest.

When night falls, the low temperature will stimulate the low plants on the grassland to harden, which is almost the same as steel. To use a more vivid description, the entire grassland is a 'knife field'.

Predators on the grasslands take advantage of this by hunting their prey at night, and the prey moves in order to escape, and then gets scratched by the plants and bleeds, and the blood nourishes the low shrubs.

Aren't predators also scratched by low plants? I was a little puzzled at first.

Predators will be scratched, but they heal themselves very quickly. Some ingredients in the low plants can speed up the recovery and sterilize the predators, just like the medicines of the Serin people.

Because of this kind of blessing, predators can also be injured unscrupulously without worrying about the consequences of the injury, but those vegetarian prey are different. Facing the consequences of the injury.

The collectors explained to Chu.

Won't the vegetarian prey be extinct soon?

Extinction is not enough, it's just at a disadvantage. In order to avoid their own destruction, the vegetarian animals that are used as prey tend to grow very tall. Every step is a big distance. It becomes easy to escape, although they will still be low. The shrubs scratched, but the injured area is small, and it will heal itself in a few days.

However, because they are too tall, vegetarian animals on the grassland generally have an unstable center of gravity. Once they are knocked down by predators or accidentally tripped, it is no longer possible to stand up again, and the low plants on the ground will also fall over. deal piercing damage to vegetarian animals under it.

Speaking of this, the collectors proposed to Chu.

Speaking of which, from time to time, the base of the Yuntai creature will be regarded as prey by those predators, and it will come to our side for hunting activities every night, which is very interesting.

At the beginning, do you want to stay on this planet for one more night?

After pondering for a while, Chu shook his head and rejected the proposal of his fellow clan.

I still have my task. The task of building the ethnic group cannot be delayed. I will come back after the construction is over.
