4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"Tumble, rush to escape."

Looking at the raging horned dragons rushing, the brain worms rolled into a stone, and the small dragons immediately followed it, and it seemed to be quite sticky.

But Lynn thinks they don't have to hide.

Looking at the horned dragon head in the forefront, Leviathan used the muzzle to shoot a small acupuncture.

After being shot by a needle, the raging horned dragon leader suddenly stopped, its mood returned to calm, and at the same time it stopped its ethnic group.

They seem to be completely rushing with the leader, and they are not violent.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Lynn confirmed one thing. It seems that some of the creatures in the jungle are not normal. They are related to the dragon. They probably use some exciting toxin to cause the violent reaction of these creatures. That's it, maybe the abnormality of Xiaofeilong is also related to them.

However, Lin still remembers the liquid that excites the creature. Lin has already made Leviathan create a counter-effect liquid that neutralizes the effects of the excited liquid and calms the creature.

The dragon that hid in the grass slowly receded and retreated to the safe place it thought, and immediately turned and escaped.

But before that, Leviathan also had a 'positioning' on it, and a small acupuncture was behind it, but it was completely undetectable.

Next, Lin continued to send the brain worm to the edge of the jungle, where Lin began to build a nest similar to the twisted jungle rock to the brain worm until it produced troops.

Xiaofeilong also took it with the brain worm, and it seems to like the brain worm very much. The brain worm does not pay much attention to it.

There should be no problem with the two staying together. The brain worm lives here. Leviathan continued to explore the jungle.

Leviathan once again flew to the jungle. Lin directly asked Leviathan to look at the red tree. When Leviathan opened the bark, the needles inside burst out again. They hit the shell of Leviathan. The bombs are everywhere.

This time, Leviathan grabbed the bark and did not close it. Lin carefully observed the inside of the trunk and found a spherical structure inside. There are many small holes in the sphere. Among these small holes, Lin found a lot of seeds.

Lynn basically guessed what was going on.

There are many small hooks on the seeds of this tree. It should be that every time there is a creature passing through, it will shoot these seeds and stick to other creatures to help spread. This kind of seed propagation method has many plants.

And those needles coated with stimulating fluid... obviously stuffed with other creatures, and that creature is... 骸龙.

The purpose of doing this is to cause some big creatures to fight, and then wait for them to lose both.

Very interesting way, this creature is worth investigating.

After that, after a few days and nights. Lin first observed a lot of dinosaurs in the jungle and found the location of the dragon. Lin found that it seemed to have no ethnic groups. It was a small creature that hunt itself in the jungle and then went south to go. It seemed to go somewhere.

Lynn let Leviathan release a flying man to follow it, Leviathan itself is not suitable for tracking, and Leviathan will return to the Rift Valley to do something else...

Lin has to deal with other things, so I turned my attention. Although Lynn can handle many things at the same time, I don't like to do this. Lin prefers to deal with them one by one, unless these things are of the same importance.

But this matter may be more important than anything else, or even a new threat.

Lin's ‘fungal sweeping force’, the bombers and Behemoths found some special things about plague fungi at sea...

In the ocean two hundred kilometers east of the mainland, Behemos discovered the ‘蝗 lord’ and its locust swarm.

In fact, Lin did not see such creatures as mites in the recent activities of cleaning fungi, but the mites that are now seen have nothing to do with fungi.

The mites are generally yellow in color, their blood and body are not infected with fungi, and the fungus-infested mites are purple, and the same is true for the lords, who are colored because the blood is full of fungi.

Lin followed them and found that these locusts were not combat weapons. The lords used them to swallow the plants of the islands in the sea and then transport them back to themselves, which would not cause any devastating disaster.

They are not as crazy as those who are infected with fungi, and they only leave with a certain amount of nutrients, and they completely change after infecting the fungus, so Lin has a special idea for plague fungi...

Perhaps this fungus can affect biological behavior by infecting the brain.

But in general, plague fungi will devour all living things, it is unlikely to just infect the brain, maybe they are selective, so Lin grabbed some mites to use and get some plague fungus dust to do experiments.

Lin found a wonderful place. When the dust fell on various parts of the body of the locust several times, they would grow rapidly, devour the entire mites, and behave exactly the same as other creatures.

But at some point, when the hyphae spread in the aphids, they come into contact with the nerves of the aphids, and the hyphae climb up along their nerve lines and eventually reach the brain.

Hyphae encroach on the brain, but it does not engulf the brain cells. In general, it seems to be mixed with the brain.

At this time, the behavior of the creature will be abnormal. The behavior of the infected aphid becomes weird. According to the original, the purpose of this divisional species is to collect nutrients from the lords of the scorpion, but now its purpose of life becomes Let the fungus spread.

The fungus will spread the dust into the blood of the body, and then the mites will first try to infect some of the mites that have not been infected in the experiment. At this time, the fungus will directly infect the brain and not devour them. After infecting them, the mites will find ways to infect other things.

They spread very crazy, sometimes directly suicide to spread, and sometimes by contact, etc., when the fungal infection targets, and grow a large number of mushrooms and other structures, they will eat these structures, in fact, Lin found that they are not digested The fungus that has been eaten in, the fungus that is swallowed by the mites will grow in the stomach and infiltrate into the blood again. The fungus of the blood directly secretes some nutrients to maintain the life of the mites.

In other words, they are not a symbiotic relationship at all, but rather a fungus that enslaves a locust. This situation... is quite weird.

In general, fungi have no brain, but it can control brain creatures, and after the brain infected with aphids, the surrounding fungi seems to have become... smart.

The fungus reacts according to what the mites see. For example, if the mites see the fire, they will secrete the fire-resistant mucus. When the mites see plants in the distance, they will grow a structure like a 'barrel'. When the dust is launched, even when the locusts see flying fish in the sea, the fungus reacts immediately, releasing a smell that attracts the fish to fly up.

If there are no aphids, the fungus will not do these reactions, or the reaction will be quite slow, just like a brainless plant...

How is this going? Can fungi be ‘thinking’ with the help of the locust brain?

Is this kind of thing possible? Because the fungus has no brain, it is 'borrowing' the brains of other creatures. Their lifestyle is not just like eating plague. This is a very special creature.

They are somewhat similar to the original parasitic Insects and can control the species that are parasitic.

Lin experimented with the infected mites on the illusionist or the brain, but this caused the locust's brain to bleed and die.

It seems that because the brain is affected by information conflicts, the locust's brain is small, but it can provide the fungus with a lot of basic information, even vision, etc., but there is no way to give the fungus any intelligence.

The same is true for the lords of the squad, and the brain is not too big, but what if the fungus infects a creature with a high intelligence? What will happen then?

It may be that the fungus does not necessarily have the ability to infect the larger creatures in the head. The simple aphids in the brain are well controlled, but the larger the head, the more complex the complexity.

Next, Lin used fungi to experiment with some creatures, such as fish that are common in the sea. The fungus does not react to these fish. Even if the dust is directly placed in the brain, it will not Its control is swallowed up as usual.

Next, Lin has experimented with some arthropods and found that control is a very accidental behavior. The fungus swallows this creature directly most of the time.

Even when infected with mites, it is not certain to control this mites, unless the mites are infected with each other. If the mites are directly exposed to the fungal infection, most of the end will be swallowed by the fungus, and one in every hundred may be infected. Brain control.

In this case, the fungus's control of the brain's behavior is very random, but if they are successfully controlled, this creature becomes a living creature for the spread of fungi...

In general, fungi have two forms of infection. One is simple: slowly grow the hyphae to engulf the whole creature, and the other will let the hyphae crawl to the brain and affect the brain of the creature.

Later, in Lin's experiment, it was found that the fungus infects a small reptile. As long as they infect a creature, they may infect all of them in a controlled manner. There must be a body fluid between the infected person and the uninfected person. The touch can spread.

All in all, the nature of fungi makes them more dangerous, and it makes it harder for Linde to know how far they have spread.

And recently, Behem Moss also found that the fungus seems to be able to infect some of the brain's large creatures. On an island, Lynn saw a large creature that was infected with fungi and had a whole body purple. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
