Vol 4 Chapter 65: Once memory

This creature... is quite old for most other creatures. At the time it has memories, it is still in the deep sea, watching the various marine creatures swimming in the water with ‘eyes’.

The eyes of this creature seem to be older than its memory, and there is no way to know when it is.

But this is irrelevant to this creature. It is a 'brain' when it has memory. This brain has no defense or attack ability at all, but it has its own force: a silky biological……

This silky creature grows continually, searching for all kinds of debris in the sea.

It lives on the bottom of the ocean. At that time, it was not considered a 'plague', but more like... a 'cleaner'.

As a brain with intelligence, it controls the huge silk lines, which form a huge network, covering hundreds of kilometers around, without any debris to escape its net.

Maybe the scope to be controlled is too big, so I need a brain to control the growth of the silk thread? No, this is not enough to explain why this simple structure of organisms can combine the 'brain', the most complex organ in the current organism...

But this brain obviously does not care about this. After it was born, it did a good job. It continued to make the silk line grow, the coverage was getting bigger and bigger, and its own control was getting stronger and stronger.

This brain does not have the concept of 'lifetime'. Its cells are like a sea anemone and coral. They are in a state of no "upper limit". As long as they are not attacked by external forces, they will grow forever.

So it also has enough time to think, it starts to have doubts and curious about the outside world.

At some point, it suddenly had a special idea. It wanted to leave this low-level life. It didn't have to look for debris all the time. It could get more food, such as trilobites living on those silks. . Snails, shellfish, etc.

The silk of this creature itself has the ability to secrete toxins. The original purpose is to prevent other creatures from attacking, but it now uses this toxin to attack other creatures. It first surrounds those slow-moving creatures with silk, such as snails. And shellfish, drilled into their shells and smash their bodies with venom. Or directly drill their carapace with a solution.

It has changed from a rot to a predator. In the constant hunting, these silks are growing faster and faster, but they can only eat some creatures that are not moving or slow, and slowly start to feel that they can’t Only kill those slow-moving creatures and look at creatures such as fish that move faster.

However, the silk thread is impossible to catch fish. How fast they grow can't be captured, so it came up with a way...

These silks are not only grown by growth, they also release a small ball that sticks to other places and grows out of the thread to proliferate, and the brain thinks of using this ball to catch fish. class.

It is not effective to release a small ball at a time. The growth of the silk thread is too small and may be defeated by immune cells. But if you release a huge amount of **** at a time...

It can swallow any creature!

In this way, it uses this method to continuously expand its community. It also tries to entangle the threads together to form a sphere, creating an explosive structure to release the ball.

These silks are very simple structures. They don't have organs like ordinary creatures, but they are extremely powerful. They use this method to hunt all kinds of creatures in the sea. Fish, arthropods, other corals, etc., even made structures like mushrooms to release more small balls. At this time, Lin felt that it could be named after the 'plague'.

Read it here, Lynn found some problems...

This creature is not a true fungus, it does not seem to have a direct evolutionary relationship with fungi. The structure resembling a mushroom is created by chance. This is a coincidence. The two have just evolved the same structure...

It may not be a coincidence, but it discovers the fungus and then learns. However, there is no record of this problem in memory. The mushroom structure seems to be popping out.

Now, they can already be called 'plague fungi'. Under the command of the brain, they begin to spread like a real plague in the sea. No creature can fight it. Only a few creatures are resistant to the plague solution, but They are only parasites for plague fungi, and the brain is not very concerned. It even developed on land and occupied several islands.

It can be seen here that the plague fungus grew up from the sea at the beginning, and Lin felt that it should be some reason that they could not stay in the sea...

Although the plague swallows everything, it is not invincible. In constant development, they encounter a creature that can compete with them...

It was winter, the sea and the sky were frozen by ice and snow, and the plague fungus was also in a state of slow growth at this time. This creature traveled slowly under the cold deep sea and found the hyphae all over the sea. .

After these species saw plague fungi, their first decision was to eat these hyphae, because it was difficult to find food in winter, and of course the plague brain found this group of species, it also intends to engulf these creatures, the reason and the other is the same.

But after the double-shots, the brain was horrified to discover that this group of creatures is a powerful division of labor. They not only have some resistance to mycelium toxins, but also devour those resistant parasites. Increase the resistance of your own arms.

This opponent is quite terrible for the plague fungus. After they have swallowed a large number of hyphae, they start to breed continuously, and the brain will not die there, but fight it.

It tried to create more kinds of lysate, infect more species, create a lot of hyphae, and fight the creatures that tried to eat it.

The battle lasted for a long time... They didn't attack at all, but they were constantly renewing their arms, but the structure of the hyphae was quite simple, and it was difficult to make any special changes, which made them vulnerable.

But the brain now has a new way to use the hyphae to infect the brains of other creatures and then control the creature.

The memory of this part of the area is rather vague, and there is no detailed indication of how it possesses this ability. It seems to be the same at the beginning...

After using this ability, the plague fungus began the counterattack. (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote, ticket, your support, is my biggest motivation. m.. read.
