The creatures here ...... There are many species, such as fluorescent empty jellyfish, fluorescent arthropods, fluorescent lizards, and a new creature that Lin has never seen before, their bodies glow like stars, and they roam the jungle.

Lin grabbed some of them to decompose, these creatures were infected by fungi, just like the flying dragons and locusts that Lin had seen, but the fungi that infected them were more special, some of them grew to the surface of the body and emitted light, and at the same time did not control their behavior, they still had the habits before they were infected, and there was no predatory relationship between them, these creatures all feed on fungi, and fungi will grow some structures to give them food.

It feels like a fungus is feeding them, but it doesn't seem like they're being eaten by the fungus yet, maybe the time hasn't come yet?

Among these creatures, there was one thing that Lin cared about in particular, and that was a small beetle with a body carapace as clear as crystal......

A pathfinder spotted the creatures by a small lake, swimming in the water, collecting mycelium from the water.

These beetles are...... Chibucha bugs? They appear to have only four arthropods, and they are similar in shape, so they must have been extinct in the twisted jungle.

But if you look closely, it's a little different, no matter how many you do, grab one first and break it down.

But when the pathfinder approached the water, these beetles ran away in an instant, and they hid in the mud at the bottom of the water, and moved quite quickly, which was quite strange, because the other creatures on the island would not flee like this, and it was estimated that they had not encountered a threat for too long, but these 'Chibucha bugs' retained a sense of threat.

But they hide at the bottom of the lake. But it's not buried deep. The faint glow of the carapace revealed their tracks. The Pathfinder stretched out his tentacles and lightly scratched a beetle out of the mud underwater.

The beetle struggled frantically as soon as it was caught, trying to bite the tentacles of the Pathfinder with its mouth, and in this environment, their sense of aggression was still so strong, but it was still swallowed by the Pathfinder lightly, and it quickly began to decompose.

Sure enough, this beetle was also parasitized by fungi. There are quite a lot of differences between them and the Chibucha worms, including some structures in the body, but in general they can be counted as a category, and the difference is like that between large pterosaurs and small pterosaurs.

If the germ cells of two organisms cannot be fused to produce offspring, they can be regarded as two different species, of course, their offspring must also be able to give birth, although some species with a big gap can reproduce together, but the offspring can not be born.

The biggest difference between the Chibucha Worm and the Twisted Jungle here is that they are not divisional species, they are all exactly the same size. And they seem to need voices to communicate with each other.

The carapace of these beetles is very transparent and looks like crystals, but these carapaces are not crystals. Rather, it is a transparent chitinous substance with many hyphae that glow like stars within their carapace.

The biggest difference between them and other species here is that they have no fungus in their internal organs, the fungus is only in the carapace, and it does not extend to the brain.

Speaking of which, the first time Lynn saw the fungus was in the Chibucha worm in the twisted jungle, they grow fungi for food, could it be that these plague fungi are also made by this other kind of Chibucha worm?

It doesn't look like it, and how can they make such a degrading species? But if they really have something to do with these fungi, it would be better to call them 'Plague Chibucha'.

Sure enough, we need to continue to study, and in addition, the proportion of brains of these Chibucha worms is very large, about 1.2%, which is a full 0.03% higher than that of ancient squid!

However, Lin has not broken down the skeleton dragon, so I don't know how many skeleton dragons there are, and the skeleton dragon may be larger.

After Lynn asked the Pathfinders to return, and after confirming that the fungus was not infectious, Lynn sent some of the Flyers out into the deeper parts of the island, and several of them went to track down the location of Monte II.

During the Flyer's exploration, Lynn discovered a number of ball-like structures, all of which were constantly sending pompoms containing fungus dust out of the island, but some of them were not functioning, for unknown reasons.

There are no other animals except a few organisms that live in the fungal woodland, and there is no complex environment here, but a relatively ordinary form, that is, some species depend on the fungus life on this island, and its biological richness is not even comparable to the beach on the edge of the island, and Lynn asked Behemoth to grab a handful of sand and find dozens of creatures in it, and there are only a few in the fungal woodland.

Now, the two flyers who went to explore have also found the location of Monte II.

What's going on?

Lynn found Monte II in a glade, and it was clinging to a mushroom in the center of the clearing, as if it was stuck in something, and it couldn't move at all, and a large swarm of Chibucha worms were surrounding it, as if they were making some noise......

Lin continued to observe for a while, and they seemed to continue this kind of movement, almost unchanged, but these Chibucha Worms would occasionally 'change shifts', and some of the longer ones would leave, and then a new one would run out of the jungle to join.

Suddenly, Lin noticed that there was a chibucha worm running into the group of chibucha bugs with nervous feelings, and it panicked in front of one of the qibucha bugs in the group, as if to say something.

This Chibucha seems to be the leader? Lin saw that the carapace light on its body was different, the color was darker, and there were more light spots, and they were really not a division of labor species.

When the leader heard this, he panicked, and then he immediately screamed, and the group of Qibucha bugs in front of him immediately turned around and rushed into the jungle.

Another difference between them is that they can't fly, they can only move by running, and Lin thinks that the Chibucha bug just now reported to the leader that Lin's pathfinders caught them, and now they sent troops to find the pathfinders.

These species are odd, and Lynn felt compelled to ask Monte II, who should know the language of the head worm.

It's captured there now, and in that case, let them see what art is.

Monte II's position was about three kilometers from the beach, and Behemoth, who was above the beach, had already aimed his guns at the target area, and then ......'Bang! (To be continued......)
