Vol 4 Chapter 38: Creature between plants and animals

At this time, Bai Xiaolong was hooked in the crack of the rock at the top of the cave with the claws of his limbs. Lin saw that his eyes were slightly bright in this dark environment.

It seems that unlike Tucker who likes to stay on the land, Bai Xiaolong has mastered the method of accurately judging the environment in the dark, and Tucker has not seen Bai Haolong at all!

"Hey!" With a scream, the white dragon jumped from the top of the cave, its claws stabbed straight to Tucker, but also because of this scream, the white dragon was spotted by Tucker, Tuck immediately jumped Opened, avoiding the attack of Bai Xiaolong.

Lin really doesn't understand why it is called, and predators are very quiet.

But now both sides are in the dark, Bai Xiaolong can see Tucker's figure, its eyes seem to have some kind of luminous ability, but Tucker can also see the position of the white dragon from its glowing eyes.

Fight, at the touch of a hair! Bai Yulong's claws slammed into Tucker, but Tucker held his claws at a faster speed, and then twisted hard, only listening to 'Kara', and the thin forelimbs of the white dragon were twisted by Tucker. Got an abnormal angle.

As it turned out, Tucker seemed to be very sensitive in the darkness, and he could even feel the sound of the white dragon's paws waving in the air to accurately grasp the paws of the white dragon.

The white dragon, which was twisted by Tucker's forelimb, continued to scream, and Tucker did not stop, and then he grabbed the neck of Bai Xiaolong.

With the sound of broken bones, the white dragon fell to the ground.

The battle was easily ended. It seems that if Tuck is not hurt, he can really be one-on-three.

Then next. What will Tuck do? Looking for a way to go out? But Lin will stay here for at least some time. Untie some of the problems here. Like a lot of eggshell fragments on the ground, fossils of fungi, skeletons of the enamel dragons, and...

A war.

The forces that were inhaled into the roots of the tree were exactly the same as the ones that Behemus used to immunize the fungus, but Lynn decided to call them the 'aggressors', but only temporarily called the name here.

In this tree, they use the spider-like eight limbs to tear the 'vessels' inside the tree. Tearing the cells inside is very interesting. Lin found many muscle-like structures, but not as perfect as the muscles of the animals, which means that although they can move, they don't move as fast.

Lin has never seen plants with immune organs. Although they are immune, this tree has a more special immunity. They even use multicellular organisms to help immunize like Lin. Although this should be a symbiotic relationship.

A small arthropod when Lin's invaders attacked. Lin called it 'sword 蚤', and a lot of them came together. They are like a parasite 'flea', but they are much smaller, so small that they can smash in the body, instead of the role of immune cells, sword The cockroaches move in the body fluids of the trees by water spray. They are half as large as the invaders, tearing the body of the invaders with tiny fangs.

Lin has concentrated the aggressors together to face the attack of the swordsman. They are inside the body, the limbs are external, and any nearby swords are immediately smashed with several knots to tear it! Of course, the torn swords will not be wasted, their fragments will be eaten by the invaders, and then the invaders will quickly grow in size...

The invaders melted their backs and joined together in the process of growing up. All the invaders were slowly transformed into a large creature by Lin, and the aggressors were growing constantly by tearing a large number of swords. With.

It feels really good to fight in the water. You can change your body shape at will. If you are on land, you have to get a shell to prevent water leakage. There is almost no possibility to quickly transform the arms.

The invaders are now integrated by Lynn, their limbs are enlarged, they become sharper, and their fin-like structure grows to help swim, while Lin also puts a bigger mouth on its head. To devour more debris.

The swordsman is like a source of nutrients that nourishes Lin’s troops. Now, Lin will use this grown-up as a base and produce more aggressors...

After waiting for enough troops, continue to march into the depths of the root system.

While Lin swallowed them, they felt very strange. The swordsman seemed to be fully responsible for the immune task. They could not only distinguish the fungi, but also distinguish the virus. As multicellular organisms, they are much larger than the virus, but they can still find and phagocytose the virus. This tree will create some **** as a nutrient reward sword.

Very typical symbiotic relationship, the sword can even find those cells infected by the virus and then swallow it. Their power makes the tree itself immune, but Lin is destroying all this, all the invaders continue to attack the tear. As these swords and various structures move deeper, Lin discovers more secrets of this tree and slowly explores its entire structure...

It takes a long time because the tree is actually very large, but the big one is not the body of the tree, but its roots.

This tree is a rather huge plant. It has a huge cylindrical structure on the ground. It is called the 'core'. There are countless roots around the column, just like the anemone's tentacles. These roots All of them are close to the ground, and Lin is surprised that this tree has many structures like animal organs.

For example, the pipes in the root system have some heart-like structures. They are the same as the heart of the general creature, like the 'pumps', which force the various pipes, and there are many.

In addition, there are digestive structures like 'stomach', etc. It is also found that its cells are not only plants, but also many animal-like cells, and even each root has a ganglion-like structure, so that the tree can be instantly The roots of the control move and chase the prey, but these structures are relatively incomplete, or primitive, and the organ types are much less than the animals. It still retains many plant characteristics. Lin thinks this may be between animals and plants. Creature.

The tree that Tucker and Lin saw in the cave before can be said that its reproductive organs are also lure organs. It absorbs the moisture of the underground with a huge root system, and then mixes with the 'petrochemical toxins', releasing some On the ground, because there are dry salt stones or lagoons everywhere, the creatures attracted by the light soon find that there is water. After drinking, this creature is recruited.

Petrochemical toxins can make the structure of the organism rigid, including the heart, and the roots of the tree will follow the smell of the petrochemical toxins. Prey, Tuck was attacked, it should have been poisoned, so it was stained with a special smell.

This creature surprised Lin. It completely abandoned the lifestyle of the previous plants. It is more powerful than the common trap plants. It even symbiotics with the creature of the sword, and has a unit of its own, which means Maybe there will even be plants with high intelligence in the future?

The possibility is small, but time can tell everything.

Lin gave it the name ‘Du Mesha Tree’, and the name feels very suitable.

Lin knows that this plant is obviously more than one, so it can be slowly destroyed.

As Lynn slowly attacked the tree, Tucker wandered aimlessly in the cave...

It walks up and down a lot of broken shells on the ground. Its emotions are very complicated, anxiety, nervousness, fear, all kinds of emotions, and Lin thinks that this is very big with the pterosaur's 'death'. relationship.

Tucker has been in the eggshell for a long time. It suddenly kicked a thing, and its emotion instantly added a ‘surprise’ that hugs what he kicked.

This egg... should be called ‘egg’. The dinosaur’s egg strengthens the hardness of the outer shell, which is not the same as the usual egg. This egg is the egg of the dragon...

Lin has never seen Snapdragons breed, but they have cracked eggshells in their shacks, so knowing its shape and shape, Tucker obviously knows that it will be so surprised.

Lin estimates that this is probably the egg of Bai Xiaolong, but Tucker did not immediately smash it, but after holding it for a while, he walked in the direction of it.

After a while, Tucker arrived at the Kushiro Road. The 'Du Mesa Tree' still emits a shining light. In fact, the existence of this tree is very different from that of ordinary plants. This structure is somewhat similar to fungi. The mushroom used to release the dust, its branches such as the tentacles-like filaments are used for reproduction. Each time a certain time, these tentacles will break down. It has enough nutrients and can even advance like a worm. Go to another place and start growing.

This kind of tentacles has a large number of small thorns like the jellyfish tentacles, which can inject petrotoxins into the contacts.

The purpose of its illuminating is to lure the prey to drink water. There is no other reason. This tree on the surface only has these uses, and the huge roots in the underground are the 'ontology' of the 'Du Mesha tree'. The structure should be similar to the tree in other locations. Lin believes that if a place is lacking, the 'Du Mesha Tree' will move slowly elsewhere.

Lin has basically understood this tree now, although it is still not clear how it produced this kind of lifestyle. Later, I will slowly explore it by means of excavating fossils. Now Lin feels that it is not necessary to completely destroy it, but Use its nutrients to build a new unit.

Tucker’s move is very strange. It first placed the egg in front of the tree, and then took a lot of stones from the nearby ground around the egg.

At the same time, Tucker also used a sharp stone to engrave a lot of traces on these stones. What the **** is it doing? (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
