The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2278: Morphology

The light of that world...is becoming stronger and stronger.

It is not that it itself is glowing, but that a large number of luminous objects appear within a radius of one hundred kilometers of this world.

As they piled up on the surface of the world, Lin noticed that the group of balloon creatures had changed.

"This is... a view that should be noted. It seems like a perfect work of art!"

All the balloon creatures stopped chasing Lin's death battleship and surrounded the world again.

It seems... when the brightness reaches a certain level, they begin to like the extremely bright world and give up chasing.

It seems that the personalities of these balloon creatures are quite interesting. Lin decided to study why they are like this... But for now, let the Death Battleship fly to a safe place.

The Death Battleship activated the teleportation system again. Although the teleportation location was random, Lin could confirm the general direction.

With continuous teleportation, the Death Battleship can teleport farther and farther, but doing so will continue to consume energy.

The distribution of transmission energy in the solidified space is... very uneven. They float in various places like scattered stones. There are a lot of them in some places, but none at all in some places... Therefore, it is necessary to save energy.

After Lin had used up almost half of her energy, she stopped teleporting and continued to fly steadily...

This place is more than 10 billion kilometers away from the original activity range of the balloon creatures, and no balloon creatures can be seen anymore... We can consider ourselves free of them.

But what is the next goal? Although Lin would still wander around even if there is no goal, Lin also wants to see... if it has any new goals.

Lin examined the bus anemone.

The Bus Anemone is now in a resting state, as if it was very tired from making the world glow just now, and it doesn't have... any new goals.

Its target is still the old one, which is the world just now.

But we can't go back now. After all, one death battleship cannot fight against so many balloon creatures.

Unless Lin also created a large army, but Lin felt that there was another possibility, that is, by understanding the personalities of the balloon creatures to prevent them from attacking Lin. This was also possible because there was still a balloon creature imprisoned in the Death Battleship.

Lin could carefully...dissect it to thoroughly understand this creature.

Thinking about it, Lin started to do it.

In fact, it is through the captain's "mental influence" on it that its personality and various aspects are analyzed.

Lin feels that these balloon creatures are not individual creatures. Although they show some personality, the entire population should be quite unified.

During the analysis process, Lin carefully learned about the balloon creature's...history and other information.

This kind of creature...Lin found it quite interesting.

They were born from a place that Lin felt could be translated as 'bed of life'.

The life bed is a huge landmass composed of a mixture of various solidified substances, and the young of balloon creatures are born... from that place.

At the same time, Lin also discovered that their life bed had encountered some problems recently...that is "pollution".

It seems that the matter from the normal void will pollute the life bed, causing the matter above to 'deteriorate', so they are excluding those...matters from the normal void.

When mature balloon creatures want to reproduce, they will go to the bed of life, where they will find suitable substances and knead them into a shape that they like, then cut off a small section of the tail and stuff it into the mass of substance.

Then, this small ball of matter will slowly mix with the tail knot and grow into... the baby of a balloon creature.

Newborn cubs are very fragile, but they know how to look for suitable materials in their life bed to build their own bodies.

And its main body is connected at the back as a tail-like part.

When balloon creatures are young, their bodies are not necessarily balloon-shaped, but can be any shape.

The shape is mainly related to the local environment. Because there are many dangers on the "bed of life", the adult balloons will not help the cubs, but let the cubs survive on it with their own abilities.

In order to survive, the cubs will constantly assemble various different body shapes... For example, they need a camouflaged shape to avoid predators, and they need a flat shape that is suitable for drilling if they want to drill into some places to build nests.

In short, except for the tail, the cubs will continue to change their shape during growth until they reach adulthood.

Once a cub matures, an adult balloon will come to greet them. The first thing the adult balloon does when accepting a new member is to detect what form it has used to grow up. All the forms used by the cubs will be defined as "artworks" by them, and the balloon creatures will build their facilities according to the appearance of the artwork.

However, no matter what form the cubs use to go through their childhood, most of them will shape their bodies into a ball when they grow up.

This is because the spherical shape is considered a 'legendary' form, and each cub needs to constantly change its shape during its growth process in order to survive, but occasionally a cub will go through the entire cub stage with just one form.

If such a cub appeared, it would be considered a 'legend'.

Then the entire balloon population will change their form to legendary form.

Now most of them are spherical because the last legendary cub was spherical. If the next cub spends its entire infancy in the shape of a quail, then they will all change to the shape of quails.

Lin thinks this characteristic of theirs is quite interesting...but some balloon creatures are more unique and use different shapes.

No one would have any objection to them doing this, but most of them still maintain the legendary appearance.

Because they like art, balloon creatures will occasionally see something and suddenly think, "This is a work of art!" and keep it.

Balloon creatures are very good at creation. They have already created a wide variety of weapons and various facilities, but Lin finds it difficult to judge... whether they are individual creatures.

Because when they are in a 'leisure state', they are self-sufficient creatures. They usually like to wander around and find some art or just hang out.

The one that Lin caught wandered into Ershimin’s work space.

When collective action is needed, they will instantly unite and cooperate, such as jointly building huge facilities or attacking together.

However, Lin already knew how to communicate with them.
