4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 80 Underworld

Starlight, countless twinkling stars filled the flyer's field of vision.

The green dots flickered like stars in the sky. The dense places are stacked, and the sparse places are shimmering. Looking up, it seems that you see the Milky Way under the night sky. The brilliant light illuminates this space, and the starlight keeps shining and beating, as if describing Beautiful stories seem to be guiding the way of life...

But here is a cave, where do the stars come from?

But there is light. The top of the cave is full of countless flickering and beating points of light. It looks as beautiful as the stars under the night sky. Some small creatures are attracted by the light and fly towards the top of the cave, but before it touches the light , can't move at all.

They are indeed guiding the path of living beings.

lead it to death.

This is a huge trap. Under the 'starry sky' at the top of the cave, there are countless drooping mucus transparent silk threads. As soon as the bugs fly over, they will hit these sticky threads. Usually, the flying creatures will only notice the starry sky. , without noticing the mucus,

Now, the same goes for the flyer, slammed into the slime, unable to move its wings.

In the mucus, there is a worm-like creature with a length of about 30 centimeters. They have a mouth composed of fangs. They will swallow the stuck creatures, and those 'star lights' are also emitted by them.

Now, a few worms were crawling down the slime towards the flier's place.

This mucus thread is quite difficult to get around, no matter how hard the pilot struggles, he can't get it off, but if Lin really wants to escape, it won't be difficult.

Lin asked the flyer to spit out a small type of unit with a size of only a few millimeters. It was called the 'sweeper'. It was originally used to deal with some debris on the flyer's body and repair wounds, but it could also do many other things.

For example, some solution is secreted, which can get rid of the viscosity.

The Sweeper climbed onto the Flyer's wings and quickly produced a large amount of solution that mixed with the sticky threads of the Flyer's wings. It was rendered ineffective, and the flier fell back to the ground.

The worms crawl very slowly, and when the flier escapes completely, they reach the flier's original position.

And one worm crawled too close to the end of the sticky thread. It didn't seem to notice that the sticky thread at the end was mixed with a strange solution, which made the sticky thread not only lose its stickiness, but also couldn't carry its weight. The worm fell hard to the ground.

So let's add some nutrients.

The flyer walked in front of the worm. Although the worm is very powerful in the sticky thread, it is just a meat ball without the sticky thread. Start eating it bit by bit.

A flyer's mouth is similar to that of a dragonfly. It is composed of many curved-blade-shaped teeth and chews quite fast. During the process of decomposing the worms, Lin found that there were some places in the creature's body that gathered a lot of luminous cells, but Lin was more interested in its mucocele, Lin found that many creatures have the habit of making sticky silk, but Lin herself has never made it. It is necessary to learn it.

Moreover, Lin also found that this worm is a mutant creature. Lin has seen some mutant creatures, that is, the appearance of the cub and the adult is very different. Through the gradual change of growth, this kind of worm should become a kind of worm in the future. Beetles are creatures that have evolved in an interesting way, using each stage to adapt to different environments.

While researching this issue and sticky wire. Lin continued to fly to the place where she smelled the jungle smell before.

There are fewer stalactites on the top of the caves in this area. Instead, there is a large piece of starlight. Lin likes to call it worm starlight. The sticky threads under the starlight are the longest and even only about one meter from the ground, while the top of the cave is more than ten meters high. , The creatures in this cave are very rich, and many creatures are stuck with silk threads. And a lot of them roam the ground, hunting each other, or looking for leftovers from worms.

Flyers carefully fly over these trapped areas, and a water-covered area emerges ahead. It seems to be a huge underground lake, and the worm starlight is reflected on the lake water, which is extra beautiful.

Lin actually doesn't quite know what the idea of ​​'beautiful' is about, there are many beautiful things, but Lin finds that they don't necessarily have something in common.

The flyer gently flew over the lake to avoid attracting any attention. Lin vaguely saw that there were huge creatures hidden under the lake water. It was difficult to see clearly by the worm starlight, but it should be some fish... big fish.

Suddenly, Lin noticed that a flying insect had fallen on the water. The vibration of its constant struggle caused a small fish to come. It was a flat fish, ancient and primitive. It appeared in the ocean 100 million years ago. But why do they appear in caves?

When the flat fish was about to devour the flying insects, Lin suddenly heard a 'pop'! With a bang, there was a flash of light under the lake, and the flat fish lost its vitality and sank into the depths.

Although the flash was very short, Lin had already seen what kind of creature was under the clear water. It was the creature that Lin had encountered at the bottom of the mountain peak and lake - the shining eel, which just released an electric shock to attack the flat fish that was going to eat flying insects.

Sure enough, this place is related to the lake of the mountain peak... Lin remembered that there was a cave at the bottom of the mountain peak lake. Are these two places connected?

With doubts, Lin continued to move forward. The smell of the jungle was getting closer and closer, and Lin could even see the light ahead...

That's not the light caused by worms, that kind of bright light Lin has only seen one thing that can emit, and that is...

As the light gets brighter and brighter, the flyer slowly speeds up, and in the end, it's flying at full speed!

Ahead, there appeared a huge, endless stream of light pouring in from there.

When the pilot flew into the hole, an incredible scene appeared in front of Lin...

In the jungle, Lin's field of vision is a huge jungle. These trees are more than 20 meters high, and they are not curled like twisted trees. Their trunks are straight, and the top leaves are like ferns. These strange trees are dense and prosperous, all over in front of Lin, and the sounds of countless creatures are heard in the jungle, which proves the richness of the environment here.

What is this place? Is it back on the ground?

Lin looked back and found that the cave was a cave on a rock wall. Lin felt that the pilots didn't fly very far in the cave, and no matter how they walked, they were all within the desert. Why would there be such a wide one? the jungle? It feels like in another world...

Wait, this doesn't seem to be the ground...

Looking up, Lin found that there were no clouds and no sun in the sky. It was like a stalactite cave, covered with cone stones.

This...is actually inside a cave?

Lin found that there was only one word in her mind to describe the scene: 'miracle'.

The top of the cave is about 300 meters away from the ground. Lin intends to fly higher, so she may be able to see more.

Thinking about it, Lin let the pilot slowly rise to the sky, and after flying to the canopy, as the field of vision became wider, Lin saw a wide and magnificent scene.

These fern-like trees, Lin intends to call them ferns, although they are shorter than twisted trees, they are also more than 20 meters tall, much larger than common ferns.

The entire jungle composed of ferns stretches endlessly, as wide as a twisted jungle. Lin can hardly see the end. This jungle may occupy the ground of the entire desert. How did they form such a huge cavity? So much gravel, won't overwhelm the place?

In the jungle, a giant creature gave Lin the answer.

Some incomparably huge trees grow in the middle of the ferns. Lin has also seen such trees on the ground.

These trees are home trees.

These giant trees with a height of more than 300 meters are scattered all over the depths of the ground, and their canopy can just touch the top of the cave, so they are like huge pillars, supporting the entire underground cave.

All of this is indeed only a "miracle" to describe, but how did it come about? How do they make up this environment under the ground? Could it be that the seeds of the home tree were buried under the ground, and they slowly grew up and opened up the entire cave? Although this idea feels unlikely, it is the only possibility that Lin can think of now.

There are too many unimaginable things...isn't it enough to explore? And what does the Inca swarm have to do with this place? Are they the inhabitants of this place?

Lynn will definitely figure it out.

But now Lin wants to see what glowing things at the top of the cave can actually emit such a bright light. All the plants here rely on those lights. Although the top of the home tree stands against the top of the cave, its trunk grows There are a lot of branches, and the branches are covered with countless leaves to absorb light energy. It seems that these home trees are alive, unlike the one on the ground that has died.

The pilot quickly flew to the top of the cave. More than 300 meters was not very high. Lin first made the pilot hit the top of the cave. Under the impact, a large amount of powdery substance was sprinkled on the top of the cave. Glowing, it seems that the top of the cave is covered with these weird glowing powders, and then Lin scraped some substances from the top of the cave and ate them, decomposing the ingredients...

Some of the powders were familiar to Lin, and contained many crystalline debris, water, and a strange orange fungus, as well as a slightly larger multicellular organism, all of which glowed.

But Lin still hasn't figured out where their energy comes from, that is, what do they eat? Again, there is no direct contact with the sun.

Maybe dig a little deeper into the 'glowing powder' on the top of the cave and find something.

When Lin was about to dig, she suddenly heard a 'pop', and instantly, the pilot's field of vision became dark. (To be continued...)
