The macaque life span of 800 years becomes an ape, the life of an ape is 500 years old and becomes a shou, and the life span of a thousand years. - "Hug Puzi? Volume 3

……

……

From the mouth of the Moon River, among the rocks of the branch valley, a traveler in a bloated suit and a diving suit is struggling to climb the sticky and slippery dirt slope.

He is Chen Xiaowu.

The distance from Lingxi was too far, and he couldn't feel the power of the water beast on the other party's body, and the [moldy coffin] on his body protected him from the erosion of time and rain.

The fifth brother climbed the dirt slope and saw the primitive village in the distance, with thatched huts and small workshops lined up in front of him, and he knocked down the radio communication of the diving suit.

"Hey, did anyone hear me?"

The radio echoed with the murmur of electricity, blinding thunder was reflected outside the plastic steel helmet, and the bad magnetic storm deprived the electronic equipment of its five senses.

On the big stones on the town road of the tribe, various exotic beasts are painted with yellow and white phosphophophic sulfur stones.

The little fifth brother's heart for academic research was raised, and he carefully studied the paintings on the rocks.

Strange beasts are grouped together, singing and dancing, setting up a gorgeous white jade cloud platform, and a huge white ape is sitting on the stage.

- What is this thing?

Xiao Wu muttered to himself.

"Is it the primitive worship of Yingzhou Island?"

From the soil beneath his feet, he could feel the rhythm of life, new vegetation constantly pushing up the dirt, and when touching the chain boots of the wetsuit, the shoots tried to take root in the cold and unforgiving steel, and when they failed, they could only become nutrients in the soil.

The little fifth brother quickened his pace and walked towards the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

When he looked left and right, he felt that his scalp was numb, and on the flowers and leaves of the jungle plants, there were patterns like [eyes], and many of the old leaves and dead branches of the plants had turned into the appearance of Chen Xiaowu staggering forward—these visions made him restless and difficult, as if there was any rash move, and these plants that [could think, imitate, and be born, grow old, sick and die in an instant] could immediately turn into strange shapes.

Xiao Wu has read many scriptures, but he has never seen such a strange demon with his own eyes.

In the long history of biological evolution, the eyeball organ was once considered a symbol of higher life forms.

— but in fact, it's redundant.

For millions of years of life, aquatic beetles have always possessed optic proteins and optic nerves that receive visual and light signals, but they do not have a shaped eyeball.

In other words, we could have replaced the weak eyes with other organs, removed the protective armor of the eyebrow arch and the eyelashes that shielded the eyes from dust, and the eyebrows that swept away the rain, and these life potentials would have been used to the fullest outside the eyes - just like a bird paying the price of a pair of forelimb appendages for flight.

Without the eyeball, the upper part of the human brain would be more perfect for its signal-receiving organs – from the Royal Society Open Science? Sequencing technology》

At this moment, all kinds of visions made Chen Xiaowu feel creepy, and he suddenly figured it out.

The eyeball patterns of these vegetation branches and leaves are both human and beast.

In the process of life reproduction, if species suffer extinction on a large scale and are powerless to resist, most of them will begin to engage in [Mertens's mimicry].

Simulates another organism in terms of behavior, morphology, and other characteristics.

This is the survival instinct of all living beings, the process of continuous death, so that these beings use genetic information to transmit the signal of [danger], in each seed, the new vegetation is engraved with the symbol of "eye", which is used to confide in the outside world the malice of watching and surveillance, and to protect their weak plant life.

Coincidentally, there is also a creature in Tianshu's group who is proficient in [Mertens's Mimicry].

It was Guan Ziyang's Baojiaxian milk snake.

The pouring rain drowned out the sound of the jungle.

If Chen Xiaowu could hear the sound outside from the thick diving helmet......

"Drink the water."

"Drink it......"

"The way to heaven, the door to heaven."

From the vigorous growth of forest vegetation, these sounds are recorded by the genes of the plants, as if they are the sounds of hell and heaven.

And more, more incredible words.

They spread their branches and make a rustling sound when they bloom their young leaves.

"White ape! White Ape God! ”

"It's the White Ape God!"

"Bow down to it and be its courtier."

"Put on your hair and become a dragon."

"Fly over the sea, dive into the abyss."

"Blood is ink, soul is sand."

"One stroke paints a world."

It's a pity that Chen Xiaowu can't hear these noises.

He walked step by step into the village, past the houses, out of the furrier workshop, out of the original square centered on the stone well.

Xiao Wu turned around in place, carefully observing every corner, for fear of missing an enemy.

His mind began to drift as he saw visions.

No......

Are those things, exactly, hallucinations?

Along the way, he could hear the gurgling sound of water bubbles coming from the house, much like the fish species described in the mission materials, and the crying of many babies and young children.

Inadvertently, through the ventilation window of the thatched house, he could see the corner of the swaddling baby, with strands of pure white hair, protruding lips and wrinkled skin that looked like monkeys.

There are dozens of such weird babies.

In addition to this, he saw some of the inhabitants, all of whom were fish-people.

The number of fish people is not large, and they can be counted on one hand, and these ring-toothed fish people have lost most of the physiological characteristics of the human body, and gradually metamorphosed into deep-sea fish, and have also lost their secondary sexual characteristics, and cannot distinguish between male and female.

When they came into contact with Chen Xiaowu, without exception, they all chose to back down, as if they were protecting themselves from outsiders.

- Chen Xiaowu's diving suit looks like a monster from a foreign country to them.

Just when the little fifth brother was at a loss, from the depths of the river's veins, there was a roar of a beast.

The roar was filled with grief and fury, like a terrifying roar from the wilderness, and the whole mountain and forest began to tremble.

Chen Xiaowu's face began to break out in a cold sweat, which was very different from the Penglai Immortal Mountain he expected.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the wellhead!

It grabbed the little fifth brother's waterproof gloves and pulled the fifth brother to the mouth of the well.

Xiao Wu was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and for a moment he felt that he had stepped on Huangquan Road on one leg.

But when he looked back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Ziyang's eyes were calm, holding a small briquette, and slowly climbed out of the wellhead.

Chen Xiaowu compared gestures indiscriminately, as if he was afraid that his companions would understand, and danced for a while, and he didn't understand Braille gestures and made a lot of noise.

Guan Ziyang grabbed Chen Xiaowu's hands and asked the little briquette, who was also wearing a pet diving suit, to write on the fifth brother's diving helmet.

[Don't get excited, recruit eggs.] 】

At the same time, little brother Ziyang pointed to the mountains and forests.

At the same time, the briquettes stained the rain with their paws, and wrote on the face of the little fifth brother.

[Su Xingcai's team members have gone to investigate. 】

Guan Ziyang also began to dance, trying Baturu's unique singing and dancing skills, and began to imitate the monsters in the mountains and forests.

He danced a little comically and staggered in a bulky wetsuit.

Briquettes followed.

[In the forest, there is a white ape, which is the god of the mountain. 】

Guan Ziyang used his fingers as a sword again, and drew a few sword songs in a dashing manner.

Briquettes write.

[Wu Ming is folded here. 】

Ziyang refers to the thatched huts of the villages.

Briquettes write.

[This is likely to be a breeding ground for fish-man villagers, even though they have lost their fertility.] But you see......]

Looking through the half-hidden gate of a dwelling, a fishman with a bulging belly was holding a bamboo cup and drinking bitterly.

In a few moments, it disemboweled, and the old body of the fish was like a butterfly in a cocoon, giving birth to a newborn white-haired baby. With the last bit of strength, the fish-man stuffed the baby into the swaddling clothes. Immediately after, the immortal body began to make a gurgling bubble sound, and it had lost its mind.

Guan Ziyang pointed to the wellhead.

He pointed to the mountains and forests.

Briquettes write.

[They are looking for new ways to reproduce.] 】

[The mountain god can give them "children". 】

The little fifth brother gestured with his hands and feet for a long time before he could ask a question.

"Where is your serpent? What about the big, red, black, yellow snake? Milk snakes? Where's your family's Bao Jia Xian? ”

Wait for Chen Fugui to express his meaning clearly.

Guan Ziyang's brows were furrowed, and he was speechless.

Briquettes hung their heads and pulled out a bloody ring of armor from their waist pockets.

Obviously, this is a diving suit for the snake master.

A dazzling thunderbolt swept through the sky, and above the mist-shrouded valley, Chen Xiaowu looked sideways, almost thinking that he was really hallucinating.

——Above several old trees, a three-color dragon spews high-temperature steam, and there are thunderbolts in the long bearded hair.

It stared down at something in the valley, like a mortal enemy, looking up to the sky and roaring.

The powerful sound wave shook Chen Xiaowu's diving helmet into a crack.

But after a while, it disappeared into the dense rainforest.
