Chapter 186 The Second Light Group

The bath monster has the characteristics of reptiles and mammals, and it is oviparous, which reminds Zhao Yanling of a creature.

This goes back a long, long time.

The scientific community agrees that life was born in the oceans.The evolutionary template of mammals originated from Synapsids, advanced to Reptiles, Amphibians, and then mammals.During the evolution of reptiles, there was a stage of organisms called mammalian reptiles, the sibling branch of the ancestors of all mammals, including humans.

Their earliest history can be traced back to the Carboniferous Period 3 million years ago. Until the appearance of dinosaurs, they continued to evolve, shedding reptile characteristics more and more.In the end, many species evolved, but in the third mass extinction event 2.51 million years ago, the number dropped sharply.

Then mainly cynodonts galloped wildly on the broad road leading to mammals. Needless to say, cynodonts, many visible ones, including humans, also have canine teeth.Many branches gradually died out after the appearance of human beings.

After clearly recollecting these knowledge selections in his mind, he told the water friends: "This knowledge is actually very interesting, and we can let our personal imagination run wild, because even scientists cannot use fossils to restore the original appearance of living things. If there is If someone tells you what an extinct creature looks like, then I can tell you with certainty that he is talking nonsense..."

"It's already very awesome. My education is similar to that of Lao Zhao, and I also graduated from a fourth-rate university. Why do I only know that the situation in Demacia and Noxus is very tense, and other..."

"My friend told me with certainty that all dinosaurs must have had feathers. Can you imagine what a Tyrannosaurus rex looked like with all its feathers?"

"Then your friend is talking nonsense!"

"Old Zhao, do you know why, except for insects, all animals have four legs instead of six or eight?"

This question has depth...

But Zhao Yanling: "As I said earlier, mammals originated from Synapsids, and the template of this class is four legs. For example, the common ancestor of mammals, the Heinapyx, already has four limbs, and you can't use a sword." Make a knife out of a mold, am I right? If the source of evolution was slightly changed, we might be upright creatures with six limbs. Thinking about people having four arms, and four hands typing codes at the same time, it is very likely that we Artificial intelligence has been realized!"

The Khan next to him was dumbfounded, as if he had heard a heavenly book.

"I just said that people in Huaguo are all learning geniuses."

"Can you believe it, this doesn't match Lao Zhao's style of painting."

Many fifth-grade students in the United States still can't figure out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, while students in Huaguo have always regarded people with a well-known and memorized appearance. They immediately looked at Zhao Yanling with admiration.These knowledge points are so uncommon, but he memorized them abruptly, and explained in simple terms, the original blunt information became vivid, and everyone understood it.

The bath monster is a branch of mammal-like reptiles that escaped underground.

From its habitat and physiological characteristics, Zhao Yanling can even imagine their evolutionary process.The flat but strong skull is due to its omnivorous characteristics from herbivorous to excessive.Run fast and agile, because there is little space here, and they must do so to avoid predators.The eyes sunken inward and covered by the brow bone are due to the sawtooth on the leaves of the bathing ground water plants. Running too fast will inevitably scratch the eyes and play a protective role.Clever because it's omnivorous...

At this time, there is a kind of excitement of discovering new species, which is similar to Lanling Island. Isn't the significance of being an explorer lies in this?It is precisely because of these bright moments that he will never get tired of running around.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the settlement, Khan was very busy.

Because, the bath monster from before followed and rampaged in the settlement.

The dwarf who picked up the egg, because the water in the bath flooded the cave where the egg was buried, and the monster in the bath was moving the egg, the dwarf took advantage of it and ran away.But he didn't want to, so he was revenged by the bath monster.

When a dog is running, it can also knock people into the air.There are quite a few videos of a grown man being bumped into somersaults like a toy while the dog is running fast.With a speed faster than a cheetah and a strong body, even a fat man of that size might not be able to resist it, let alone a dwarf with a small body and a light body.

Looking at the colony where the chickens are flying around, they don't care about their shit.Zhao Yanling went back to the house and chatted with the water friends, trying to find inspiration for escaping.

After about half an hour of commotion outside, it finally subsided.

Khan was panting but his face was flushed with excitement. After entering the thatched hut, he cheered up and said, "I caught it, we are going to kill the Zanzai monster, master, you cook the meat."

The meat of the Yuze monster is delicious, and Khan never forgets Zhao Yanling's culinary skills. He believes that 1+1 will definitely be greater than 2, and he is looking forward to it.

Zhao Yanling got up and followed him to the square.

Beside the wooden pier, the four dwarves were holding down the bath monster, which was still struggling desperately.

Zhao Yanling shook her head: "Did you catch the Zhanze monster in the past when you stole its eggs?"

Khan was surprised: "How do you know?"

"I guessed with my toes."

Talking about feelings and spirituality with them is better than talking with a cow.

Looking at the foolish dwarf who was holding an egg bigger than a goose egg, and then at the four people holding the bath monster, Zhao Yanling said, "Who caught it?"

Press and hold one of the four bath monsters to get up: "%#@*..."

As a result, the three of them were unsteady, so that the Zanzai monster could not escape, that person hurriedly bent down again to help.

I can't bear to look at this IQ...

"These little dwarfs are cute too."

"Hehe, you don't feel cute when you see them killing people."

Zhao Yanling asked Khan to translate: "I use this pot to exchange that egg. Use this set of utensils to exchange the Yuze monster, or not?"

Without hesitation, the two dwarves chose the treasures that could be used continuously, rather than eggs and monsters that temporarily satisfy their appetites.

Zhao Yanling sent out the pot and tableware, and took the egg with a rough surface to the bath monster.

"Let's go back."

Put the egg on the ground, pat its broad forehead, and let the dwarf let go.

The nostrils of the Zhanze monster are just under the eyes, and after running for so long, it can breathe evenly. This physical ability is really against the sky.

"Old Zhao is beautiful, I like this style of painting."

It opened its mouth wide and grabbed the egg. As soon as it turned its head, Julia rushed over and grabbed its neck.

Just as Zhao Yanling wanted to stop it, Julia seemed to feel that she was jumping over the house with the bath monster in her mouth, and dodged again and again.

It didn't take much effort, the Zhanze monster vented more air than breathed in, and it seemed that it was dead.

"..."

Zhao Yanling was so pissed off, I gave away all the eaters for charity, so you just do it?Is there organization and discipline?What a beast.

To death, the bath monsters bit the eggs lightly, keeping the eggs intact in their mouths. The maternity brilliance of that creature made many water friends teary-eyed and denounced Julia's bad deeds.

But this is the law of the jungle in nature, and it is impossible for people to stop eating chicken just because chickens lay eggs.The barbecue restaurant also specializes in grilling chicken eggs, no matter whether the cook or the gourmet, no one has the kindness of a woman!
The dwarfs chased and intercepted her, and they all worked together to snatch the body from Julia's mouth, and presented it to Zhao Yanling like a treasure.

"..." Zhao Yanling said to Khan. "Take it and eat it. You don't need to send me meat. I'll keep the eggs."

Returning to the hut with the egg, his keen sense of touch sensed the rhythm of life inside, and the time for the cub to break its shell was not far away.

……

Early the next morning, Khan called Zhao Yanling, saying that the clan had just got a baby and was going to the source of life to worship the gods.

He went over to take a look, isn't this just the pot and tableware he just sent out?
However, Khan and the others are serious and serious, and treat it as a top priority.

"Master, please use the artifact to cook food for the gods, and the gods will bless you."

In order to win over them, Zhao Yanling nodded seriously: "Okay, let's go now. But Khan, is this source of life spring water? If it is spring water, wouldn't your ancestors bring the spring water here, wouldn't it stink long ago? "

Khan's complexion changed drastically: "Master, you can't blaspheme the gods. The fountain of life used to be bright, but it's because the land is no longer pure, and now it's darkened. If we continue to profane, the gods may abandon us. When the time comes The vegetation will wither, the game will die, and we will all starve to death."

Zhao Yanling looked serious: "I see, I will cook a big meal for the gods and ask for their forgiveness."

The water friends were overjoyed, and Lao Zhao's serious nonsense was too funny.

But Khan heaved a sigh of relief, showing his face and saying, "Then I can rest assured."

Are you serious?

Before going to the source of life, Zhao Yanling had to take a bath with them in a puddle in the bathing marsh, as if gods didn't like stinky creatures, and taking a bath and burning incense was the minimum respect.

He speculated that the source of life may be some kind of luminescent microorganisms in the water.

The river bed is gentle, there is no heavy rain and soil erosion, and there will be no natural disasters such as floods in the underground world.The trickle flows in all directions, following the flow, the source is the groundwater spring of the lava root, which nourishes the land all year round.

When approaching 80-[-] meters, Zhao Yanling suddenly stopped, his eyes were dull, his pupils dilated, and he received the emotion of the target.

"What's wrong?" Khan pushed him.

Zhao Yanling regained consciousness, shook her head and remained silent.

Come to the spring, where the dwarves built a regular round mouth with stones.The mouth of the well is so neat that it looks like it was drawn with a compass. It's hard to imagine that it was made by these dwarfs with low IQs.

Suddenly Zhao Yanling thought of a question: "Khan, is there no king, chief, or patriarch in your clan?"

Shaking his head, Khan said: "It used to be, but it was killed by the former owner. After that, there is only the owner and no patriarch."

This makes sense, no wonder No. 9 died, they bowed to another civilized person, regardless of the past, they had already adapted to being led by a civilized person to survive.

While speaking, everyone walked to the mouth of the well.

Khan took the lead, and everyone took a handful of well water to drink, and he motioned Zhao Yanling to follow suit.

After they finished drinking, Zhao Yanling stepped forward and looked towards the well.

The well water is crystal clear, and the source is the bottom of the lava, gurgling out.

What kind of fountain of life is this?What kind of god is this?
Just when he was wondering, Xin Target suddenly became manic.And the clear and calm well water was splashed, and a group of glistening green light suddenly appeared.The green light flickered and flattened like a liquid.

The dwarfs behind him were delighted to hear the spring water surging, and the water friends were terrified.

"Is there really a god?"

"Impossible, maybe it's just a geyser."

"I guess it's some kind of creature in the water, like a bath monster. It's not surprising if you talk about it."

Zhao Yanling stretched out her hand involuntarily, swift as lightning, and pinched seven inches of the liquid green light.

The figure was unstable, and he plunged into the spring water, and everyone was shocked.

The dwarves rushed over and saw that there were no splashes of water below, no green light, only Zhao Yanling closed her eyes tightly, her hair fluttering in the water and gently swaying with the current, as peaceful as a dead person.

The dwarf was dumbfounded, but the water friend became anxious.

"This group of idiots, quickly pull Lao Zhao up, they are stupid at critical moments."

"Poor old Zhao, he's fine in strong winds and waves, and drowned in the holy spring of the little dwarf..."

Zhao Yanling's state at this time was really like a drowning person who choked on the water and didn't catch his first breath. There wasn't even a single bubble in the water.

The dwarf's reflex arc was extremely long, and the time was lost in seconds. After a full three minutes, they were still in a state of being at a loss.

He was breathing in a special way and was daydreaming at this moment.

The source of life of the dwarf, the second light group that has a deep hatred with the target, has been swallowed up.

His brain is in an extremely active state at this time, constructing strange pictures.At the beginning of the birth of the underground world, it was actually open-air, where only gloomy and gloomy fungi survived, exuding gloomy and weak light.

The volcano erupted continuously, the magma solidified, and the volcanic ash nourished the land.Later, it changed its path a few times, and was gradually surrounded by huge lava, creating a huge space inside. At the same time, the gas opened up a large number of caves.

The luminescent atmosphere was constructed by the evolution of fungi and microorganisms at that time. At first, the vegetation in the underground world was sparse and in poor condition.

The green liquid light group can be called the holy spring of life.

When a group of Homo erectus, who were more primitive than the dwarfs at this time, entered the underground world to avoid the rapidly changing environment, the holy spring was actually here long ago, and it was not brought by their ancestors as Khan said.

The holy spring quickly moistened the entire land, and the vegetation grew wildly, covering the land.At this time, the creatures living here are rare and single, but in the long years, outside creatures have been continuously sucked into the Taotie Cave, and those who survived by chance become the species of the underground world.

The only animal that can be called a local species is the bath monster.Their eyes are higher than the top, and there are high nostrils just below the eyes, which were originally used for observation and breathing in water activities.Later, due to the isolated and closed environment and the barren land, they evolved to land, and the valve-like structure in the nostrils became a special physiological feature of high breathing efficiency.They have tenacious vitality and a well-developed digestive system, and they can still survive in a rough and barren environment.Until the addition of the holy spring made the water and grass in the underground world luxuriant, the horny beaks of their tortoise-like mouths used to cut hard plants degenerated and became what they are today.

Contrary to the outside world, when such animals outside were replaced by true sauropods and died out, they were the last laughing species in the underground world.After a long evolution, they have become more flexible, omnivorous, extremely fast, and their wisdom has advanced by leaps and bounds...

The first light group brought space to Zhao Yanling, and the second light group was even more peculiar. It absorbed sunlight for many years when it was outside, and returned it to this land in the underground world, and only then did it have the appearance it is today.

Most animals and plants live indirectly and directly on sunlight.Thousands of scientists have used the most advanced instruments and techniques, but in fact they have not been able to reveal all the secrets of plants converting and utilizing solar energy.Can only talk in general terms, say it's chloroplasts and so on... It's far from the truth.

At least, the structure of the tiny pigment complexes has not been clarified; the changes that occur in the short time period of less than 10-15 seconds have not been captured, and the key to understanding the "mystery" of how plants use solar energy is at that moment .

The holy spring not only nourishes and promotes the growth of plants, but also has certain effects on animals.

Even Zhao Yanling, who had absorbed it, didn't understand the specific reason.

Numerous images flashed through my mind, the dwarves discussing above and the water friends in front of the screen suddenly opened their eyes when they saw Old Zhao underwater.Maybe it's because of the light, maybe it's because of an illusion, everyone felt that there was a flash of green light in his eyes...
