008 Black holes
The blackbirds kept pecking at the crack of the black thorn, and each time they brought out a lot of the black thorn insects inside. Baidu search, more good free reading.
The crack of the black thorn continued to expand, and it was torn apart little by little by the blackbirds.
When a large number of black thorn insects poured down like a curtain of water, the ground was stained black.
The dense black thorn insects fled in all directions on the ground, some of them were not clear in the direction and ran around, and some were quickly trampled under the feet of the rest of the black thorn insects because of the drag of the excess organs of the body.
The nearby blackbirds quickly lowered their heads to enjoy the meal, and both large and small birds could easily get fresh food.
The feast lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and soon the well-fed blackbirds began to leave in droves, leaving behind a field of guano and crushed meat of black thorn insects.
Zhang Xiangyang and Steelmane walked forward.
Originally, it was just a suspicion, but after watching it for so long, Zhang Xiangyang found that his previous inference was not out of hostility.
"Steelmane, don't eat these things anymore"
Seeing that Steelmane was about to bow his head and eat a approaching black thorn insect, Zhang Xiangyang kicked it directly.
The kick touched Steelmane's mouth, and Steelmane ducked to the side after being kicked, and after glancing at Zhang Xiangyang, he snorted in a low voice.
Zhang Xiangyang continued to walk forward, and all the insects that got in the way were trampled to death by him.
The steel mane also walked over, supporting the four hooves of the huge body, with a wider crushing force than Zhang Xiangyang.
The black thorn in front of him was already in tatters, and the original black thorn wall also revealed a black hole, and in the place inside was a pitch-black cave.
The flames around him had been extinguished, and Zhang Xiangyang found some leaves from nearby, and then rekindled a fire with the sparks below the fire. Baidu search, more good free reading.
In the wild, without water and soil, the light expects to burn itself out, and it is easy to cause fires.
From the entrance of the cave, there are still a few black thorn worms crawling out occasionally.
Most of these bugs are bloated and deformed, and they are crippled by nature.
In nature, there should not be such animals that appear naturally, they should be non-toxic, otherwise the steel mane will not be so happy.
The carapace is also not very hard, so it can be crushed by itself, and there are a large number of birds that feed on them.
Even if this bug feeds on immobile black thorns, there is no reason for it to evolve so many useless organs
inbreeding
Inbreeding will not produce so many offspring, and unless it is the first generation that you have encountered, nature would have eliminated those deformed children long ago.
Whether it's a large or small black thorn worm, there is that kind of problem, like as long as you have a mouth, you won't starve to death.
Compared with inbreeding, Zhang Xiangyang feels that the other situation is more likely.
radiation
Since there are insects in the cave, there should be no problem with oxygen, but as for the rest, I am not sure.
Zhang Xiangyang thought for a while, pulled the steel mane and walked to the shade on the side.
Unloading the things on the steel mane, Zhang Xiangyang said: "Go out and play, remember to come back early." ”
Steelmane thought he was about to hurry again, but after hearing Zhang Xiangyang's words, he quickly turned around and trotted out.
Without the restraints on his body, the steel mane looked extraordinarily relaxed.
Zhang Xiangyang knew that Steelmane must have gone to find trouble with those blackbirds.
Like Zhang Xiangyang, Steelmane is particularly hostile to other animals, especially aliens who eat the same kind of food.
Zhang Xiangyang didn't eat that kind of blackbird like he stopped it from eating insects, so Steelmane must have wanted to find trouble with the blackbird.
After the steel mane ran out, Zhang Xiangyang took out the rope and the resin collected on the road and tied it into a simple torch.
Zhang Xiangyang was mentally prepared and did not carry a hammer axe, but he carried props suitable for fighting in the cave, and at the same time put on heavy clothes.
Slowly approaching the entrance of the cave, the hole above the black thorn was only more than a meter at this time.
Fortunately, the entrance to this hole was in the center of the wall, and Zhang Xiangyang lowered his head and put the torch into it.
I didn't see it very clearly, but I felt that the space inside was not small, the air was damp and rotten, and there was a bad smell.
At this time, Zhang Xiangyang felt that something had fallen on his arm.
Quickly withdrew his arm, only to see a black deformed black thorn insect lying on his arm.
Zhang Xiangyang calmly threw the insect down, and he was wearing clothes on his arms for defense, so it didn't feel very obvious.
Looking at the swarthy hole in front of him, Zhang Xiangyang hesitated, and finally retreated.
"Let's burn all the black thorns around."
Zhang Xiangyang sighed, realizing that he was not so courageous.
Without wasting any more time, Zhang Xiangyang began to expand the hole with saw blades and flames.
Without the help of others, if Zhang Xiangyang is alone, it is indeed very difficult.
These black thorns are difficult to clean up, and the spiny-like tissues on the top and the fibers on the slivers are connected together and are difficult to peel off.
He was busy from noon to evening, during which he also roasted a blackbird for Steelmane.
Steelmane went out to play after eating, while Zhang Xiangyang kept expanding the cave.
When Steelmane went to bed at night, Zhang Xiangyang looked at the cave and didn't sleep well all night.
The next morning, Zhang Xiangyang originally planned to go in at noon, but as soon as the morning dawned, those blackbirds came in flocks again.
This time, the blackbird still didn't care about Zhang Xiangyang and the steel mane, even if there were still some blackbird feathers on the ground.
However, the blackbirds will also keep a distance of more than one meter from Zhang Xiangyang and the steel mane, and will not get too close.
Under Zhang Xiangyang's gaze, the blackbirds slowly approached the black thorn forest and began to look for food on the walls and some places where they could catch black thorn insects.
Most of the blackbirds head towards the cave, where the black thorn worm is most likely to appear.
Zhang Xiangyang stopped the steel mane that wanted to rush out and bite those blackbirds, the fiery red steel mane was very conspicuous no matter where it was.
Waiting patiently, after about half an hour, the well-fed blackbirds began to leave in groups one after another.
Zhang Xiangyang observed these blackbirds, although these blackbirds were black, each of them was a healthy big bird, and there were no deformities and cripples.
It's not pretty, but it's not ugly either.
The only ones that are deformed are those black thorn worms
Zhang Xiangyang felt that it shouldn't be, if those black thorn insects were affected by radiation, it didn't make sense that these black birds would have nothing to do.
What the truth is, we have to go into this cave to see.
Keep the steel mane on the outside, the space inside is not suitable for the steel mane to go in.
Zhang Xiangyang stepped on the carcass of the black thorn insect and a large amount of bird droppings, and walked into the cave with a torch.
Steelmane sniffed on the ground, and quickly walked away, heading to the side to sleep comfortably in the sun.
