"Of course, we can't just rush straight up, now we have to climb one step at a time......" the worm leader said with some caution as he shook his skin. Originally, he only knew the brainless charge, and after the heavy losses of the team, he finally learned to think.

Lin Ye followed behind the worm leader, who was silent and undetected. After learning the lesson of being discovered by the leader of the birds, Lin Ye has been standing downwind to prevent his scent from being smelled by the worms.

In the calm botanical garden, there is also a hidden murderous intention.

A vine tree disguised in a berry bush sprang into action, stretching out its tough cane and wrapping around the worm leader's waist before straining violently. The latter screamed in pain and immediately writhed. Its three black rings spread out across the skin, filling it all over at once. In just three seconds, its body became as hard as steel, and it quickly broke free from the shackles of the rattan.

While the vines were agitated, the rest of the plants writhed as well, aking from their long slumber, though most of them only writhed instinctively, and did not attack the worms. However, the frequency of Fujiki's attacks has significantly accelerated. It protruded its tough brown roots from the ground and entangled the remaining nine black-ringed worms in one fell swoop.

Sensing the coming crisis, the worms activated the black rings on their bodies at the same time, resisting the tightening of the tree roots. The worms above the second ring broke free from the roots. But the three one-ring worms screamed, and their waists were tightened by the roots of the tree, and even embedded in them, and finally broken off by the waist. Green blood splattered on the roots of the tree, and the roots shone slightly, and the blood was directly absorbed by the roots.

"These vines actually have the ability to weed around the ruins. Could it be a genetically modified plant?" the system muttered, his tone becoming a little surprised: "Could it be that the orcs in this ruin can already absorb the genes of other creatures for their own use!"

The power of belief in the totem has the ability to evolve genes, and the believers of the fifth-level civilization have mastered the ability to go to the next level, and they can actually snatch other genes and splice them into the bodies of other creatures.

"Could this be a genetically modified plant?" Lin Ye wondered in his heart. I thought that I had just eaten a fruit from a genetically modified tree vine. Although the taste of the tree fruit was very delicious, Lin Ye still stuck out his tongue in disgust. He only likes to eat raw, not this kind of food that is spliced together with genes.

"Genetically modified food is too risky!What if one of my lives is poisoned?!" Lin Ye muttered angrily

However, the system quickly explained Lin Ye's complaints: "Don't worry, the host is not in danger. Because part of the genes on the vine come from aquatic plants. Aquatic plants are non-toxic, so the proteins produced by this part of the genes inherited from tree vines are also non-toxic. ”

"Is there any difference between the two?" Lin Ye tilted his head and said as he watched the worms fight with the vines.

"Gene expression refers to the transcription and translation of genetic information stored in the DNA sequence into biologically active protein molecules by cells during their lives. So no matter what the gene is, the last thing it can make is protein. ”

"How can it be all protein! Take plants as an example, don't plants still have cellulose in their bodies? It forms the cell wall of plants, this thing is not protein, how did it come from?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Cellulose is one of the end products of proteins and proteases that are produced after gene expression. Cellulose is derived from carbon dioxide in water and air, and is produced through the energy provided by photosynthesis. ”

He suddenly remembered the biology he had learned in junior high school, and it seemed like this was the truth. When he was in school, he had a perfect score in biology classes, but after he became a phoenix, he almost forgot everything.

He muttered, "The fiber bundles seem to be made by the Golgi apparatus inside the cell." ”

The system asked rhetorically. "The Golgi apparatus is made up of proteins and phospholipids, and phospholipids contain nitrogen and phosphorus, which are important components of cell membranes, which is why crops are fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorus. ”

The system's words suddenly made Lin Ye speechless,

"The genes contained in aquatic plants also produce these proteins, and as long as aquatic plants are non-toxic, then the genes inherited from aquatic plants in the vine can only produce the proteins that aquatic plants have in their bodies. Therefore, even if it is poisonous, it is because the original organisms that are genetically modified are inherently poisonous. ”

Lin Ye fell silent, not knowing how to argue.

Of course, now is not the time to study biology. In this Cretaceous era where even genetic splicing was restricted, Lin Ye's focus was not here.

The black-ringed worms in front of him had already begun to howl wolf-crying, and the tough vines realized that they couldn't bind these black-ringed worms, and immediately twisted and turned into hard vine whips, slapping towards the worms.

Lin Ye's eyes were sharp, and he saw a ladder that was leaning.

The wooden ladder was as wide as the body of a dead giant crab, and each of its sections reached Lin Ye's chest, and it looked like it was intended for tall orcs. However, these orcs seem to be dead, disappearing, or losing consciousness, and only the empty shell of the body remains.

Lin Ye's eyes widened, and it saw a scorching yellow light through the wooden door, and this yellow light shone through the heavy ceiling and towards Lin Ye.

"There must be a very precious treasure on this!" Lin Ye exclaimed in his heart. His forensic eyes had never seen such a dazzling yellow light, and even as long as he stared at the other party, he might be directly blinded.

Lin Ye immediately ran forward. He turned and stopped in front of the worms. There were only four of the seven black-ringed worms left, each with three rings on its body, their bodies extremely hard, black covering their bodies, and the vines behind them could only slow their movements.

"One ......"

Lin Ye silently counted in his heart.

"Two ......"

The worms were already less than twenty meters away from Lin Ye, and they all raised their heads to look at the wooden ladder in front of them, and at the same time shouted excitedly, completely unaware that there was an invisible bird standing on the wooden ladder.

"Three!"

The worms were already less than five meters away from Lin Ye, and they cheered in unison. And at this moment, Lin Ye quickly switched to the form of a fire phoenix, he grabbed a black-ringed worm at the front with one claw, and gathered a large ball of flames in the heart of the claw, as Lin Ye clenched his claws, the flames exploded violently!

Lin Ye's eyes were cold, but the flames burning on his body were extremely hot, and he was about to burn the wooden ladder under his feet directly: "Give me death!"

Lin Ye let out a low roar, and the worm with his claw wound howled violently, and its body writhed for a few turns, and it immediately lost its movement. Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye flapped his wings and pushed away a wall of fire from in front of him, which covered the apprentices for hundreds of meters, blocking the remaining three worms one after another.

The skin of the worm caught by Lin Ye began to fade, and after death, its body gradually softened, and the gems and diamonds in its body spat out of its mouth. These gems were vaporized as soon as they came into contact with the scorching flames of the forest night. Nothing was left.

"Who are you!?" the worm immediately screamed in horror when it saw Lin Ye. Especially after seeing Lin Ye kill their companions with a single blow, he was even more frightened. "Another monster in the ruins!" the worm leader was also quite surprised, and it screamed in a panic, as if it took Lin Ye for the aborigines of the ruins.

After all, it had never seen Lin Ye before, and after seeing Lin Ye in the seed building, it immediately instinctively regarded Lin Ye as one of the members of the ruins. No matter how much it thought about it, it would never have thought that Lin Ye would be an outsider.

"Oh?" Lin Ye's mouth left a seeping smile. He just stood on the wooden ladder, maintaining the raging flames, blocking all the worms' retreats.

The hearts of the three worms, who had lost their minds, were full of fear for Lin Ye. They involuntarily retreated several meters, and by this time, the vines of the vine trees had circled three hundred meters away, shooting towards the worms. One of them was tied up with vines and dragged into the woods. A moment later, a terrible sound came from the woods.

Lin Ye stood proudly on the wooden ladder, looking steadily at the two black-ringed worms that were still alive below. When he saw another worm die, he already knew in his heart that the remaining two worms were certain to die. If Lin Ye used all his strength, he could create three powerful red spirit fires, kill three worms in an instant, and then confront the other two worms.

The worm leader roared loudly, leading his only subordinate to rush towards Lin Ye, as if he was going to die with Lin Ye. They stubbornly resisted the wall of fire made by Lin Ye and rushed out of the flames. Lin Ye stretched out his right wing, blocking the impact of the worm on his right. However, the worm leader suddenly changed direction and passed by Lin Ye. It quickly climbed the wooden ladder, not caring at all that its men would die in front of Lin Ye, but rushed to the fourth floor in one go.

"How dare you play tricks?" Lin Ye's brows furrowed, and he immediately stretched out his left wing to aim at the worm leader, and a slender fiery red feather shot out from it, and immediately turned into a raging flame. Sensing the threat posed by the Red Spirit Fire, the worm leader shouted in a panic, immediately hunched its waist, aimed its direction at the exit in front of it, and immediately catapulted out. This time, the distance of the ejection was five times longer than the distance they had previously dealt with the orcs, a full hundred meters. And such a long stay in the air will be controlled by the no-fly zone.

Before the worm leader could fly forward thirty meters away, his body was immediately overwhelmed by the weight. The long distance that had originally opened up with the Red Spirit Fire was immediately caught up by the Red Spirit Fire behind him. The latter wrapped around the worm leader's body, and the fatal pain caused the worm leader to roll wildly on the ground, eventually burning a large hole in the wooden ladder.

After the worm leader died, the wooden ladder that had been burned out of the hole began to repair itself, and it seemed to have Seungmin, although it was completely processed, but it did not die. In just ten seconds, the wooden ladder was restored to its original appearance.

"Ahhh

A sturdy vine shot from behind it and quickly wrapped around the worm's waist, sweeping it into the woods, and after a terrible howl, the woods returned to silence, except for the occasional leaf drifting by, making the air grinding.

Worm Expedition, Exterminate!

So far, three of the five alien teams have been directly or indirectly wiped out by Lin Ye! Only the Giant Bat Team and the Bird Team have not been wiped out.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and continued to climb up the wooden ladder. The material of the wooden ladder is very soft, and it looks like a dirt floor when you step on it. Wherever Lin Ye landed, a groove was left on the wooden ladder, but it quickly repaired itself successfully due to elasticity and returned to its original appearance.

There is a dark exit ahead, and when you look inside from the outside, you can't see anything at all. Even Lin Ye's discerning eyes couldn't see even the slightest blur of the picture inside. It was as if all the light had been swallowed up by the darkness. Lin Ye stepped into this darkness and activated the feather cloak of flame at the same time, but the feather cloak that had been burning before could not illuminate the surroundings. Although he could feel the temperature of the flames, the flames just couldn't emit light, and even Lin Ye couldn't see his wings when he looked down at him.

Lin Ye immediately thought of the blackened wall he had seen in the private house, and he was currently facing the same scene, if not worse. Lin Ye still remembered how he did to eliminate the black.

"Just destroy the pile of bones," Lin Ye muttered to himself, but he looked around and couldn't see anything, let alone find the pile of bones.

Just when Lin Ye was at a loss, a red light suddenly came from ahead. The leader of the birds wore a red pendant around his neck, from which the light emanated. It illuminates the surroundings of the birds. The leader of the birds looked left and right, as if looking for something. Lin Ye's heart was very clear that it was he who it was looking for. Lin Ye holds a key that is very important to the birds.

The giant bats that were with the birds have disappeared at this moment, and I don't know where they have gone. Lin Ye's eyes saw that there were more than a dozen birds with red blood stains on their bodies, and they themselves were indeed unharmed. An idea immediately appeared in Lin Ye's heart. It seems that these birds have already done a bad job on the giant bats.
