Chapter 877
Maybe the original Bone Refining Clan didn't know how to refine and use this X-bacteria. They just discovered that this thing could destroy energy and turn fertile soil into a desert in a short period of time.
Therefore, when the Bone Refining Clan was forced to leave the Eastern Continent, in order to protect their holy land, they deliberately used this energy to pollute the land around the underground city. Prevents the possibility of creatures entering the dungeon from underground. In order to keep this substance alive for a long time, they probably stored a large amount of elemental crystals under the soil.
It's just that when the Bone Refining Clan released this kind of pollutant, they probably didn't expect that this desert would gradually expand. I just don’t know if Miao Xiang and the others know the characteristics and power of this pollutant?
Hiss, why don't you use sand? Are you afraid of the sand too? "A very childish hiss sounded.
Yan Mo opened his eyes, and there was a clear difference between the calls of the adult sand armor and the cry of the young cub. The former was either low or high-pitched, while the latter was a bit sharp.
A small sand armor about half the size of Xiao Sha poked half of its body through the crack of the open door.
Yan Mo waved to it, smiled, and came over. "Children are always full of adventurous spirit.
The little guy wasn't afraid of him, so he crawled over and sniffed him, hissing, you're so weird, I've never seen you wearing sand armor like this. "
Yeah? "Yan Mo reached out and picked up the little guy.
The little guy struggled for a while, then quickly became quiet. It felt very comfortable in the arms of this strange companion. It used to be that it only crawled on the backs of adults wearing sand armor when it was very young, but this was the first time it was held like this, and the little guy was very strange.
Yan Mo followed the little guy's body and touched it thoroughly. You just said that I am also afraid of the sand. Are there other people wearing sand armor who are also afraid of the sand? "
Hiss, yes. They are all relatively weak and will die if exposed to sand for too long, and some will get sick. "The little guy bit the clothes on his body, seeming curious about the material of this thing.
Are some sand armors unable to spray sticky webs when they are sick? "
Hiss, are you like that too? You are pitiful. If you don't spray a complete and useful sticky web, you won't find a mate! "The little guy is very worried about his strange friend.
No wonder Xiaosha only called him trash, but no wonder he was afraid of Shasha. Even when he couldn't make a qualified sticky web, he only laughed at him instead of being vigilant.
Hiss, what are these in your cave, and why do they glow? "
Have you ever seen some plants that glow? Just like those, except they are bigger and brighter. "
Hiss! I’ve seen glowing mushrooms! "The little guy seemed to accept this explanation.
The little guy's thinking was very fast, and he quickly asked: We have many strange-looking friends. Some of them can survive, and some will die soon. Will you die soon? "
oh? "
One was interested in inquiring, and the other was very curious. The two of them were asking and answering questions, and they were having a great time talking.
Yan Mo also named the little guy. Because there was a small scar at the corner of its eye, he called it Xiaohen.
Sand Armors have not yet developed the concept of names. They rely on smell to identify their companions, and sometimes add some prefixes to some special ones, such as the "poor guy who was born without scales". He defeated the one who was surrounded by ten Sand Armors. Only", the one that can't find a mate" and so on.
Time passed quickly. Xiao Hen climbed out of Yan Mo's arms and reminded him: Hiss, come with me. It's time for dinner. "
From Xiaohen, Yan Mo learned that the sand armors living here did not need to go out to hunt by themselves. The tribe would provide them with food, but it was very little, especially in winter, and it was winter now.
The place to eat is in the open space outside by the sand pool. The sand armors living here line up in an orderly manner to receive the food.
The person who distributed the food was the leader just now. The leader glanced at Yan Mo and didn't say much. It reported the matter to the authorities just now, but it didn't seem to attract the attention of the superiors. They are now more worried about replenishing food in winter.
But the owner is back, maybe they don’t have to worry about food sources this winter?
Yan Mo followed Xiao Hen in line. The order of receiving food here ranged from young to old, from the healthy to the sick, and the food portions were about the same.
Yan Mo found that there were a lot of sick sand armors here, and some had obvious scales falling off badly. Xiao He also told him that some of the more seriously ill ones couldn't come out to get food themselves and had to be delivered by them.
Then, Yan Mo also saw the deformed sand-wearing armors that Xiao Hekou said - several sand-wearing armors that already had human appearances!
Not only do their facial features look more like humans, their heads are also deformed, with a lump bulging out behind the sharp tip of their heads. In addition, their upper limbs are also more flexible and developed, and there are no webs between their fingers. The scales on their bodies become smaller, thinner and denser, and their color becomes very light. Their hind paws enlarge, while their tail is slender, longer, softer and more flexible than other pangolins, acting like another lower limb.
However, these sand armors were all weak without exception, and they were all juveniles, not an adult.
Hiss, did you see it? Do they look like you? But even those who look like them can't live long. You must be the longest-lived among them.
one. "
Yan Mo stared at the mutated men wearing sand armor without blinking. Only he knew how excited he was!
He actually saw with his own eyes an important node in the process of biological evolution!
As the food team was slowly marching, one of the men in sand armor suddenly softened and fell to the ground.
The companions around it panicked and hissed frequently.
Xiaohen: Hiss, did you see it? Another one is dead. One died just two days ago! There will be less food in the future, and maybe they won't survive this winter. "
Yan Mo gave up on queuing, took three steps and ran over, saying loudly: "Can you let me have a look?" "
The author has something to say:
This chapter was quite tangled to write. I wanted to finish it quickly, but I couldn't bear to give up the storyline that I had originally planned. Although I won't write about the battle with aliens, these foreshadowings are very important and are equivalent to a story. That is: we are ready. No one knows what the future will be like, but we have the determination to protect our homeland and the confidence to overcome.
I struggled over and over again and decided to follow the original plan and write out all the storylines I wanted to write, haha~~
Chapter 553 Strange Energy
Yan Mo was squeezed away, even though he shouted loudly.
Here, he is just a deformed piece of trash. No one thinks he is of any use. Some even think he wants to watch the fun and are a bit annoying to him.
Chuanshajia also has its own clan leader and elders. They don't have their own priests yet, so the elders also serve as priests and are responsible for solving some common problems for them, including medical treatment.
Naturally, there are elders here, two of them. These two elders have reached age and came here consciously, and they are also doctors here."
The two elders were invited over, and each looked at the man in sand armor who fell to the ground. They whispered something to each other, and finally one of them spoke: Hiss, it's hopeless. "
The other sand armors hissed in sympathy, but they were not very sad. Their companions died every day. In their opinion, this was a common thing, and the deformed and weak ones perished even more easily.
Some people wearing sand armor were even glad that at least this deformed animal did not starve to death. Many people had starved to death in winter in the past.
The leader sprayed out a sticky web, caught the dying man in sand armor and dragged it aside, then recovered the sticky web, preparing to deal with it after it died.
The order in the queue was restored, and all the people wearing sand armor continued to queue and receive food as if nothing was wrong.
Yan Mo was also urged by the leader to go back to his original team. Yan Mo disobeyed and avoided other people in sand armor and walked to the little man in sand armor who was about to die.
The leader was a little unhappy, thinking that the new waste was weird and disobedient, so he decided to confiscate the food that would be given to Yan Mo today as punishment.
There were a lot of people wearing sand armor who secretly looked at Yan Mo. The ones that looked like they were babies and were deformed were staring at Yan Mo. Compared with the other people wearing sand armor, Yan Mo, who was covered in scales, had to compete with them. More alike.
Yan Mo knelt down on one knee and reached out to gently touch the body of the little man in sand armor.
The little man in sand armor let out a painful whimper. He also knew that he was going to die. He was very sad. He hoped that someone could accompany him, but his mother had abandoned him long ago. There is no father in the world of wearing sand armor, only mother. Every year, adult sand beetles have a mating and reproductive period. The male sand beetle will leave the female after the mating period. The pregnant female Sand Armor is supported by the entire clan until she gives birth to cubs.
The cub needs milk, and the mother will take care of it for three months. After three months, the cub must leave the nest. Chuanshajia from three months to six months old are raised by the whole family. Chuanshajia from six months to three years old will start to be assigned some jobs within their ability.
Anyone over three years old who wears sand armor is considered an adult. Theoretically, the lifespan of a Sand Armor can be about twenty years, and they will enter old age after the age of twelve, but not many Sand Armors can live to the age of twelve.
The age of a sand armor can be seen on their scales, which have growth rings.
There is only one ring of growth rings on the scales of this little sand armor, which is not very clear. This shows that it is less than one year old, which is equivalent to four or five years old in humans, and it does not understand anything.
Yan Mo closed his eyes slightly, and the body structure of this little man wearing sand armor was slowly outlined in his soul.
The virtual little sand-clad figure floating in the air was transparent, and all the internal organs, blood and bone distribution were clearly displayed in Yan Mo's soul sea.
As a doctor, Yan Mo noticed something was wrong as soon as he saw the perspective view of Xiao Chuanshajia's body. Especially now that he can see the energy distribution and transmission of living organisms when he looks at living organisms, the internal energy transmission of this little man wearing sand armor is a mess. Many places seem to be blocked. Some places have too much energy, and some have too much energy. but not weak at all.
