Chapter 1310 Close Relatives
readx(); Is this... a carrot?
This is on top of...the Stellar Bus.
Lin follows the exploration journeys of various creatures here, including... scholars.
Recently, a scholar sent a piece of biological information called a 'three-legged pillar', which was just some cell information. Then Lin discovered that the nuclear information of this 'three-legged pillar' was very similar to the 'radish' that Lin knew.
It was the kind of creature with three genders that Lin discovered on the moon and raised in the meteorite area.
They still live in the meteorite area and continue to jump between the meteorites. The meteorite area is quite far away from the abandoned pipeline of the Transpiration Project, and even a light flight of 108,000 years may not be able to reach it.
However, the similarity of the nuclear information between the two allows them to reproduce with each other. Although they are not the same species, they have a very 'close' relationship.
Just like the relationship between the skeleton dragon and the emerald dragon, the three-legged pillar can be said to be a subspecies of radish. Lin thinks there are many reasons why there are... creatures like radish in the pipeline.
Because Lin did not monitor every radish in the meteorite area, they may have gone to the abandoned pipeline for some reason. Another reason is... the radish-like creatures Lin knew came from the abandoned pipeline.
This is not impossible, because the radishes were originally on the moon where the creators gathered. They themselves may have been created by the creator, and the core information of the creator's creations came from various species in the void.
But after all, the distance is so far, and if they are isolated for too long, their nuclear information will not be so similar, so Lin thinks this is still of great value for investigation...
Moreover, these carrots do very strange things. The three-legged pillar has a device that can detonate mines, and it attacked it and the Dust Crocodile. This is also very strange.
They are not wild creatures, but creatures with combat capabilities. What kind of creatures are they... subordinates? Or do they have higher intelligence to fight on their own?
The student did not dissect the three-legged pillar. He felt that if he went too far, it might attract attacks from other three-legged pillars... After all, although he did not know the reason, the other three-legged pillars had all left at that time, and the scholar decided not to dissect the three-legged pillar. They attract back.
And this was a good opportunity. The scholar took advantage of this opportunity and he also wanted to see the building, so he followed the Dust Crocodile away.
After arriving in the building, the scholar encountered many stranger things, such as... some weird creatures.
Scholars are now dealing with these creatures.
………………
'boom! ’ With a burst of noise, a creature was knocked out, hit the wall hard, and then fell to the ground.
"This is the tenth one." The scholar looked at this mummy-like creature and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are too many of these things... Scholars temporarily call these creatures 'sand bones'. They look like mummies, but they actually seem to be mummies.
At least scholars don't know what they are. The name mainly represents their characteristics. The appearance of 'sand bones' seems to be a layer of dry matter, but it is actually a layer of sand that sticks together, and inside the sand is It is a skeleton with six limbs.
The skeleton is not metal, nor is it the skeleton of cellular organisms. It is a relatively soft material. There is no electric current or a control system that scholars can distinguish, so scholars have no idea how it moves.
Although the 'Sand Bone' looks like it has a head, the head is actually made of a ball of sand with nothing inside. This thing is much weirder than the previous 'Three-Legged Pillar'.
It can be regarded as a scholar...a creature outside the realm of common sense. It is hard to say whether it is a creature or not...When seeing them move, the scholar feels like he is seeing a toy move without any control system.
This can inspire a little fear among scholars.
Coupled with their actions, it arouses even more fear among scholars.
Because the 'Sand Bones' will not attack directly, they usually lie motionless on the ground, and suddenly pounce on the scholar with a strange scream after he approaches a range of about two meters.
Although they are quite... weak and have no attack power that can hurt scholars, this weird sound and their own weird structure can scare scholars.
To put it simply, it is like watching a horror movie. You know clearly that the things in the movie cannot hurt you, but you are still afraid.
Therefore, scholars always follow the Dust Crocodile.
The Dust Crocodile appears to be much calmer. It completely ignores the sand bones. Even if a sand bone occasionally pounces on it, it will directly knock the sand bones away with a collision.
As long as you hit it harder, it will not get up again. Therefore, scholars also believe that this kind of thing must have a living system similar to common creatures, but it cannot be detected yet.
Following the Dust Crocodile, the scholar walked into the depths of the building. In addition to the sand bones scattered all over the floor, there was also... a white metal floor, a table that had fallen to the ground, and some mechanical remains.
Scholars believe that these mechanical wreckage are all part of the Dust Crocodile, but the damage is quite serious and it is no longer possible to tell what parts they are.
The weirdest thing is these sand bones. Why are they here? Why are you lying on the ground motionless? Why do you jump up and attack?
Scholars think this is really weird...
Dust Crocodile, on the other hand, seemed accustomed to all this and did not take a second glance at any place. It led the scholar to a certain room in the building.
This room looks like a...herbarium of sorts.
There are transparent jars everywhere, filled with liquid, and floating in them are things that look like the guts of cellular organisms.
This is quite similar to Xumin's specimen room, almost exactly the same.
Usually specimens are very valuable things, but this dust crocodile has no respect for their appearance. When it moves the scholar around the room, it always slams the jars, spilling the liquid and internal organs all over the floor. All.
The Dust Crocodile will then look briefly at the guts spilled onto the ground and then move on regardless.
Scholars also examined these internal organs and found that some were indeed real internal organs, while others seemed to be models or something.
Although this room is full of internal organs, scholars think it is better because there are no sand bones that scream strangely.
In the end, Dust Crocodile smashed dozens of jars of specimens, and Dust Crocodile finally seemed to have found one that satisfied it... the internal organs.
It ate the internal organs in one bite and swallowed it directly into the mechanical chest cavity.
After a clicking sound, the scholar heard a very...standard sound coming from the dust crocodile's mouth. (To be continued.)
