Chapter 92: Land and ...... Ambush?
The storm rumbled through the shallow sea, and it was covered with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and everywhere it passed was a mess, and I don't know how many lives that had survived in this last day were buried in this storm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But fortunately, as usual, this storm lasted for a short time, and when it came, it strode into a meteor, and when it came, it didn't even give anyone time to react, and when it went, it was like a fire burning its buttocks, and it roared away.
On a storm-swept beach, a dune suddenly bulged, the larger particles of sand slid down under the force of gravity, and the tiny ones spread out in the water, and in the dust mist, a glazed black arc of carapace loomed.
"Whew...... It's finally over, an average of one typhoon a day, one super typhoon every three days, and it doesn't let us creatures who haven't hid in the deep sea live? ”
Tianyang crawled out of the sand pit he had dug and shook off the fine sand that had seeped into the cracks in the carapace, this was the way it had recently summed up to deal with the storm, of course it was not okay to stand stupidly and wait for death, it would definitely be rolled up by the huge waves, and then slapped on the shore, no matter how thick your carapace was, even if it was a gentian, it would be evenly spread out on the hard stone like a mural. And it's also very risky to hide behind the reef, which never stands alone, and the water disturbed by the rocks shuttles back and forth a few points faster than the flat ground, and it really hides there, even if it is not swept away by the current, and picks you up and smashes it twice on the rocks that are either coral or volcanic rock...... Even those heavy exoskeleton creatures with thick carapaces can't help but fall like this, and when the storm says goodbye here, you're almost going to say goodbye to the flawed star......
Tianyang used to watch it on TV, always thinking that a tropical storm or something, the victims were all land creatures, and the creatures in the water were not panicked at all, and they could also find an opportunity to open up a copy of the flood, go to those places that were still land before, and pick up some unlucky people who drowned in the water as extra money, as long as they remember to come back before the tide recedes, it is completely a public business trip treatment.
But when it is experienced firsthand, I know that there is no such thing as fighting disasters in the world, which side is better than which side is mixed, at most you suffer a little lighter, I suffer a little more, everyone is equal in the face of disasters, and there are fewer people who drown in floods and can swim?
After being scratched by the storm several times in a row, and on one occasion he also changed the map for free, Tianyang summed up a solution: dig a pit.
Dig a pit more than twice as deep as yourself, bury yourself, make the pit a little bigger, leave room and oxygen for your activities, and even if it is a water tornado (commonly known as a dragon sucking water), it will at most blow away a layer of sand from above, and not include yourself. It's too late, so dig a deep pit and keep yourself lower than your surroundings to avoid being targeted by the current.
The large chelicera of the armored scorpion became an excellent tool for digging holes at this time, effectively protecting the life of the armored scorpion and preventing it from becoming a part of the dragon absorbing water.
As for the fate of being swept up in a tornado...... Hahaha, Tianyang has recently seen a lot of products of things falling from the sky, what rocks, corals, creatures and the like, bringing a lot of trouble to other lives.
It turns out that the things that fell from the sky represent much more than Icarus, and Tianyang has witnessed several unlucky people who were hit by falling debris from the sky, and were hit by falling objects thrown from hundreds of meters in the air...... This ...... Uh, anyway, there's free food, isn't it?
As for how these things came to be...... Needless to say, I know.
In front of the sand pit in Tianyang, a silver-white cone full of cracks was slanted into the beach, and the upper end of the cone was glued to a transparent film that had been torn apart, floating weakly with the current.
It is a component of a quadrangular pyramid that hangs under the body of a swimming jellyfish, and it is very light and hard, and a large proportion of Tianyang's carapace is made of this material. It seems that a group of floating jellyfish were unfortunately caught in the storm, shredded and dumped here......
Tianyang glanced at the distance between the cone and the bunker: less than half a body, if it got a little closer, it would be smashed on it, if it was smashed, even if it was blocked by water and quicksand, half of its body would be abolished, and it was estimated that the map would have to be changed again.
Thank you so much for the grace of Brother Pyramid not to kill......
Tianyang spread his long tail and swam towards the sea level, compared to the previous armored scorpion, Tianyang's current body has changed a lot: its body has shrunk several times, the original tall and solid body has become small and slender, and the two acid jets on the chest have been canceled because of excessive energy consumption, which is not suitable for the current environment, and has been replaced by two steam-driven triangular pyramids - the world is changing day by day, and at the beginning of the birth of exoskeleton creatures, relying on their own strong power, they still chose the development route of heavy armored creatures...... Well, who hasn't had a better time, but the cruel reality has beaten them up, and since then, exoskeletons have also embarked on the path of the arms race technology stream.
…… Don't mention gentian to me, the turtle is also a kind of technology flow, don't play in the flawed star if you are unhappy, and you have the money to open a new server yourself!
The attack methods of exoskeleton creatures are becoming more and more diverse, and in order to maintain their size and be flexible enough, the last means of protection of the carapace is preferentially weakened, after all, if the enemy is able to launch a large-scale attack on your carapace, no matter how thick your carapace is, it will be torn off. This trend is particularly pronounced in the elite and semi-lords, because they are the middle of the food chain, and they are always the most vulnerable to shocks wherever the torrent of biological evolution goes, so they are most sensitive to changes in this trend.
In the face of an increasingly weak exoskeleton, if you want to break it, you can't use the hemispherical shape of a large killing weapon specially designed for heavy armor, and increasing the lethality after breaking is a problem that creatures need to consider. So the triangular pyramid came into being here in Tianyang.
Causing intractable wounds is not the main purpose of the triangular pyramid, which is covered with barbs and backed by tough tows that are simply unobtainable to the previous Tenzo - because they come from plants.
The gap between animals and plants...... At least in some plants, the gap between plants is rapidly narrowing, plants and animals are also the same activity, the same predation, and even the same reproduction, in this evolution, many new materials were born, the biggest feature of these materials, is that many animals can also synthesize, and this tow, is one of them!
Bundles are attached to triangular pyramids that jam the barbs once they penetrate the enemy's muscles, and these bundles shoot at twice the length of Tianyang's body and longer than the range of a chameleon's tongue. Once it is pierced by a triangular pyramid, the creature will never be able to escape! What's even more sinister is that the hollow triangular pyramid is filled with acid, which will be released once it is pierced - acid is always an extremely effective way to attack, and there is no reason why Tianyang should not consider maximizing the use of it, and the reason why the acid jet is canceled is only because the jet is relatively too energy-consuming and does not adapt to the current environment.
In fact, the plant material on Tianyang's body is more than a tow, in the inside of the carapace, the net-like fiber net is sandwiched in the center of the two layers of armor, like a film in the middle of the windshield, even if the carapace is broken, it will only crack out a spider web-like scar, and cannot shatter the entire carapace in one fell swoop. There are still a lot of such plant parts in Tianyang, and if you roughly calculate, Tianyang can basically be regarded as a half-plant and half-animal life.
The structure of animals is the main one, bringing strength, and the plant structure is supplemented and providing help, Tianyang has a feeling that he is leading the trend of the times, and this is probably the direction of the evolution of the mainstream of life in the future.
But all this must wait until the dark canopy disappears, if all the creatures are dead and only bacteria remain, then the flawed star can only "hero, please start anew" and climb the tree of evolution from the beginning, not to mention the direction of evolution.
Not far away is the land, compared to the first time Tianyang landed, the scenery of the land has not changed much, but only a little change, but can make all living things refreshed - in that gray earth, a little green trace appeared,
For the first time, the color of life was patronizing the extinction of the current life on a large scale, and although it was still extremely scarce, Tianyang believed that it would not be long before the greens would expand rapidly, join together, and shatter those gray cuts, and then pour inland like an unstoppable wave. At that time, the species of the Blemishes will usher in another blowout, and the scale and intensity will far exceed the first.
A glazed black carapace appeared in the sea, and with a far more steady pace than the first time, Tianyang landed.
"Click."
A pale skull lay silently on the gravel, washed by the waves, and just now, Tianyang's arthropod kicked it, and the irregularly shaped skull spun twice on the ground, its hollow eyes staring at the sky.
"Huh? How could a creature die here? ”
Tianyang was amazed, there was a life that would die in a place where such a bird didn't, could it be that it was shot to death on the coast?
It came to the front of this skull and looked at it carefully, the amount of information that the bones can carry is actually very rich, and many big unsolved cases are solved by forensics.
"Flat skull...... Unlike fish, it is supposed to be amphibian, and the bones are fresh...... It's covered with marks similar to tooth cutting, tsk, I have to say, it's very clean. ”
"Small perpetrators, not small in number, with sharp teeth, able to move on land...... The corpse had apparently died after the storm, and if it had been in the middle of the storm, the waves would have washed it away long ago. This guy died quite miserably, probably by scraping off pieces of flesh and losing too much blood...... It's like Ling Chi. ”
This is the judgment of Tianyang, who has worked part-time as a forensic doctor in half of the animal kingdom.
"What's more, I don't have any impression of this large group that can move on land, either because it's new or ...... It has evolved into a terrestrial creature! ”
I haven't seen anything in the water, not even an amphibian...... Terrestrial creatures!
Speaking of which, the land can attract creatures at this point, that is, it can avoid most of the predators on it, so that after people go up, everyone has no food source, and they all go up one by one, and the land, which does not even have many plants, suddenly becomes lively, and the amphibians can't wait for the land plants to grow and grow in a hurry, and as a result, in the case of relying purely on the supply of the marine biosphere, the coastal biosphere of the land suddenly becomes lively.
But there is no solid foundation for this kind of bustle, because land plants simply cannot afford the consumption of so many creatures, and this bustle is just a false boom, like the real estate bubble and the debt crisis.
That's when the problem comes, the excavator ...... Phew, why is this stalk again, this kind of behavior of rushing to the new world before the foundation is laid is not the style of creatures at all, and he hurriedly went to the stage before the venue was built and the salary was not negotiated...... There's a problem!
Tianyang is now the main consciousness, as long as he substitutes himself into the perspective of the subconscious of those species, it is easy to find the problem: how dare you evolve into a land animal like this without a stable source of energy? Even if the prospect is tempting and beautiful, how dare you ignore the cliffs below? Although the subconscious vision of the species is not high, the courage is smaller than a little, and if it is not for the burning eyebrows, they are too lazy to evolve!
Well, there must be some dirt behind this...... Some kind of deal.
"Whether it's a deal or something, I'll talk about it later." Tianyang swiped his arthropods, and his compound eyes easily saw the surging of small gray creatures on the dusty earth. The small lizard-like creatures crawled fast on the ground, flocking from all directions towards the only big guy here, Tenyang.
"Like...... I'm surrounded. ”
