Chapter 146: The Mystery of Art
What if you want to make a brain? Then the answer, of course, is to eat a brain first!
For it, it is true, it needs to eat the brain before it can get it.
The Brainbuilder sheds a layer of skin and is trapped by a trap plant as it escapes, and the pom-pom uses a toxin to loosen the vines, but before that, a large number of Explorers are injected into the Brainmaker.
Because the outer layer of crust was removed, the new skin underneath was quite soft, and the explorers easily burrowed into the body of the brain-creature and conducted a detailed investigation of its structure.
Although Lin still doesn't know if the brain-creature felt a foreign object enter her body before shedding her skin, now Lin knows most of the structure in its body.
Lynn didn't kill it first, but kept observing its state of life and then studying the structural activity in its body.
The most interesting thing in this is probably the brain-building structure.
The Brain Monster usually roams the jungle, and if it encounters a small prey, it will bite off the head of the prey and eat it, and it will not eat the body at all, or anything without a head.
The head will not be digested so quickly after being eaten, some structures in the brain monster's body will be active first, it will first extend some 'needles', penetrate the head of the creature, it will extract a small part of the brain secretions from the surface of the creature's brain, as well as some cells in the cortex, etc., there seems to be no specific extraction of anything, but there will always be some extraction, after a certain amount of extraction, the brain monster will begin to digest the head, and the extracted substances will be transported to another organ.
This organ is the brain-making organ, and it will have a small ball that looks like an egg. After absorbing the 'brain mass' that is transported. It will start to grow and grow. Eventually, the Brain-Builder will cover it with a crystalline shell.
In this way, the split brain is formed!
The split brain seems to have to absorb some of the brains of other creatures as nutrients in order to start growing, although I don't know why this is the case, but it means that for each split brain created, the brain monster must eat a brain, and it will not keep one brain to raise more split brains, but only use each brain once.
This feels quite wasteful, creating a split brain. Brain-Builders will store them in their bodies and spit them out at some point.
In short, it is such a creature, what is the status of the brain-creating monster in the Yate group? What role does it play? What are these split-brains for?
This question is really incomprehensible, the Yate group is more weird, why did their mastermind create so many strange things?
Different divisional species have different ways of creating zào troops, such as the Inca swarm, which can quickly create a new class, while the head worm takes a long time, but it changes faster than the average species.
The Ates seem to have discovered that they have Inca-like abilities when she read the Fungal Brain. But now Lin thinks they might have a different ability to create a class.
The brain-building monster itself has quite a large brain, but some of it is specifically designed to release brain waves. The tentacle-like things on its body can be released strongly, maybe it used this ability to destroy the entire white skeleton dragon community, and at the same time, this ability also makes its perception of the surrounding environment very strong, it can evade the pursuit of most predators, and the last time it was caught by a trap plant, it was probably because it was too nervous.
The White Skeleton Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon are particularly affected by this kind of brain wave, as if other species are not greatly affected, I don't know why......
In the following time, Lin continued to observe the life of the brain-creating monster, and Lin found that it was all alone, and it kept repeating a way of life, that is, eating brains, producing more brains, and all the splinter brains produced would eventually be spit into the river by the brain-creating monsters, as if it didn't communicate with its own kind or anything.
At present, it can be confirmed that this is the brain-making monster here......
In that case, let's get rid of it.
Lynn's Explorer slowly began to destroy the internal structure of the Brain Monster, no matter what species it was dealing with, the attack from the body was always the most effective, and while Lynn slowly eroded it, she also let the pompom flow downstream, finding a lot of the split brain it had made and destroying it.
Don't know why? Lin didn't want to leave these remnants of the Yate tribe behind, except for their standing scorpions, they should all be disposed of.
Maybe it's because I've been fighting with plague fungi too much and think that this species that can compete with plague fungi is dangerous......
After settling the matter, the pom-pom began to continue upstream, crossing the river within the peak, and the river continued to reach higher.
The river ran through the mountain, and Lynn wondered how the terrain was formed in the first place, and what was dug up.
But the point is not here, the pompom goes up the river, Lin found more communities of skeleton dragons or white skeleton dragons, and the jade dragon, the other two skeleton dragons are very widely distributed, they can be said to be everywhere, but their creation zào Cheng dù is basically at the level of 'shed and wooden spear', but they are not affected by anything strange, Lin thinks that there are no more brain-making monsters in this vicinity.
However, Lin still had a lot of doubts about the Ates, who may not have fled here because of the plague fungus, but may have been here for a long time.
Their species have also been found so far away from the scorpion settlement, does this prove that the Yate population is very widely dispersed? Or did the Brain Monster come here from the crystallized jungle?
There had to be more research into the Ates, and the scorpions knew almost nothing, so Lynn had to find them herself......
However, there is still a lot of time......
And Lynn has been more 'idle' lately, not because she has nothing to do, but because Lynn is waiting for a special moment, which is the next ...... When the moon returns again.
There shouldn't be a moon to be seen on the Dinosaur Continent, so at that time, Lin will have some troops return to the North Continent.
Until then, let's continue to study the ecology of living things here, and at the same time, Lin also wants to dig out the secrets hidden on this continent, such as the Yate race, and some other things......
Perhaps there are some ancient species hidden on this continent in addition to the Yate population, and Lin thinks that it is possible to dig up this information and find some great events...... (To be continued......)
