Spore Story

Chapter 28 The Road to Evolution... Companions?
The son said on the river, the dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night.

Lei and Dian chanted in the cave, chanted...couldn't come out, didn't speak vocally.

……

Feeling the fading sunlight outside the narrow gap, Lei Dian slowly woke up from his dormancy.

Maybe it's because there are clouds in the sky, so even the dim moonlight before can't reach here tonight, but it's a good thing for the lightning bug now.After a few night hunts and good harvests, Lei Dian gradually fell in love with this way of night hunting, and even had the idea of ​​'Why don't you just devote yourself to the cause of slander and robbery in the future'.

But it was only a momentary event rather than a decision. After careful consideration, Leiden found that although hunting at night was much safer and smoother for the thunderbolt, the quantity and quality of the prey were not high. The soft-bodied creatures of civilian level and miscellaneous soldier level have never even met a leader level like themselves, and facing powerful predators, the lightning bugs can only run away.

Things like the first time hunting at night to find a nest of dormant creatures, it was just a burst of character at a certain time, and I haven't seen it for a long time after that.After counting the evolutionary value and components during this period, Lei Dian realized that the harvest was actually mediocre.

"After hunting tonight, let's breed and evolve. There should be complete eye components, and the evolution value is probably enough to evolve eyes."

"Also, even if the snail shell on the first day is not good for the bone components, a lot of lightly armored creatures have been hunted down. There should be no shortage. This should be able to complete this stage."

Lei Dian slowly twisted his whole body, causing the spirit to slowly float out of his body.

"But, is it that simple?"

"Forget it, let's spend the night well now, accumulate more nutrition, and bring some food back to the nest if possible, so that we can start breeding in the morning."

The lightning bugs around woke up one after another from hibernation and approached the lightning.

"Hey. The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's time for me to hunt with thunder and lightning."

A group of night hunters filed out from the narrow crack. After a short judgment, under the leadership of Lei Dian, the lightning bugs advanced skillfully along the rock crack.

"Don't limit yourself to being a little night hunter, my goal is to conquer the endless sea of ​​stars!"

—————————— Time to move toward the goal —————————

"Find the target."

The shadows of a group of lightning bugs gathered on the edge of the rock, and not far away, a few soft-bodied bugs were strolling leisurely.

This kind of creature was still a species that Lightning had encountered in the deep sea at that time, and it was surprising to Leiden that it still survived in the shallow sea that is now full of dangers.However, it only surprised Lei Dian a little. He is not an animal protectionist, and the current world does not need such creatures.

For the current lightning bugs, the molluscs are the best source of nutrition besides plankton and plants. Even if they become extinct in shallow seas, they are only eliminated by evolution because they do not adapt to the environment.

Carefully pay attention to the surrounding situation to avoid predators.Thunder focused on these soft-bodied bugs.In fact, Lei Dian doesn't need to be so careful when facing soft-bodied insects with no attack power and slow speed, but Lei Dian always has a strange feeling about the slightly gray sandy land where these soft-bodied insects live. It seems dangerous, but it seems a little kind.

"Damn, what's going on."

This contradictory feeling made Leiden very uncomfortable.

"There are no enemies around, and even taking the risk to expand the search range of the same race did not find any predators, and not many ordinary creatures came out."

"There is nothing in the water above, and the rock monster has not been found, so it should be in the sand."

At this time, the thunder and lightning concentrated the gradually proficient mental induction on the mud and sand in front of him, but it still couldn't penetrate the high depth.

"But a few soft-bodied insects are wandering around, and the sand doesn't feel any change, and it's impossible to use bait to hunt creatures now, right? The brain hasn't evolved qualitatively yet."

"Forget it, the mollusk can't escape anyway, let the lightning bugs surround this place first, and then let a lightning bug go in to explore the way."

He couldn't think of a good solution for a while, but Lei Dian didn't want to give up the food in front of him. It was no problem to survive for a period of time with the nutrition of hunting food, but now he needs to hoard food for reproduction and evolution, so he needs to eliminate the prey he meets as much as possible.And now the vigilance of this sandy land is only due to a strange feeling that has never been experienced before.

"Maybe it's just a hallucination from my long-term mental stress."

A few lightning bugs slowly surrounded the small, weird sandy land, and then, a lightning bug slowly approached the molluscs in the middle.There was still no danger, and the unresponsive molluscs did not show any abnormalities, they just continued to walk leisurely.

"Okay, what we need to do now is to paralyze the molluscs with electric shocks, and then we will rush in and clean them up."

Sensing that there was still no danger, Lei Dian let go of the strange feeling in his heart.

It is still the exclusive group attack skill of Thunder Bug - Electric Burst.I saw a bright power grid spreading out from the center of the lightning bug, and then paralyzed these soft-bodied bugs, and then the peripheral lightning bugs swarmed up, divided and ate the few soft-bodied bugs, and then returned to the nest to breed evolution.

Well, according to the previous script, the process should be like this.

However, the strange feeling before was not a hallucination.This is not good news for Thunderbolt.

When the lightning worms used electricity to explode as usual, the power grid did not spread out according to the set procedures, but the moment the lightning worm erupted from the body, it seemed to be attracted by something, and all of them were concentrated on the lightning worms. In the silt below, and then spread out a large range along the silt until it dissipates.It looked as if the lightning worm concentrated its electricity to hit the mud and sand under it, but such an advanced attack method was not possessed by the lightning worm at this time.

"Is there a problem with the sand?"

The problem seems to come from this.

"Attracting electricity, is it possible that the sediment contains minerals that are extremely attractive and conductive to electricity?"

The source of the strange feeling seemed to be discovered, but it was only a seeming one.This is not the case. At this time, the strange feeling of thunder and lightning has not weakened in the slightest, and it has a tendency to strengthen upwards.

When the thunderbolt is failing in the electric power burst sent by the lightning bug, and think of the possible reason that there is a problem with the minerals in the sediment.In the area covered by the sand, the power grid that had just subsided suddenly erupted instantly, producing a strong burst of electricity.The power is far better than the electricity generated by the lightning bug before, and the strength is as different as cloud and mud.

Even the lightning bug that was extremely resistant to electricity due to long-term use of the electric shock ability in the mud and sand was temporarily paralyzed by the electric power burst, and it was wandering heartlessly. The soft-bodied bugs were already floating there motionless, perhaps they had died suddenly.

"Could it be that this place still has the ability to increase power delays? For a race like the current Thunder Bug that has the ability to shock electricity, this place is an ideal ambush site." Come to the advanced predator, and then use this mud and sand to turn the opponent dry, and get a beautiful picture of a powerful evolutionary component.

But, again, hehe.

The thunderbolt who just wanted to have a whimsy about the bright prospect suddenly felt like a miniature tiankeng appeared in the smooth sandy land washed by the current in his psychopathy, which was close to the lightning bug and a few soft-bodied bugs who were playing the front. It sank downward, and then a huge black shadow suddenly appeared, accompanied by the surrounding electric current, setting off the huge body as if the god of thunder had descended.

The opponent swallowed the stiff lightning worms and soft-bodied worms together. At the front of the huge body, four huge eyes seemed to look around suspiciously.

At this time, the lightning bugs who were hiding in the edge rocks before they had time to rush out or escape, were already frightened and motionless.This is the fear of more powerful creatures that also have the ability to shock. Even the thunder and lightning of the main consciousness hides behind the rocks and dare not show up.

"What a powerful electric creature."

Lei Dian trembled with some fear, but more of it was the excitement of discovering an electric shock creature that he didn't know.

"I didn't expect to meet such a powerful guy without meeting the same kind. Could it be that it also evolved from a small cell? How embarrassing is this for me."

Comparing his weak Lei Dian body with the opponent's huge body, Lei Dian was very discouraged.

"You can't see me, you can't see me, you really can't see me."

Lei Dian, who was hiding behind the rock, carefully observed the opponent with mental power, but it seemed that at least in terms of mental power, the opponent hadn't evolved much.

Looking around suspiciously, the mud and sand where he lives has slowly cleared up, except for the few weak creatures that he has swallowed just now, there is nothing strange.The one who disturbed his rest should be one of the creatures swallowed by him.

In this kind of dark night, even the occasional electric light from this powerful creature can't reach very far.After waiting for a while, the Thunder Beast, which did not see any movement, slowly sank into the sand and continued its dormancy.

Gradually, the muddy land returned to calm again, except for the disappearance of a lightning bug and a few soft-bodied bugs, nothing changed.

"Well, no response?"

Sensing that the other party sank into the sand, and after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and the thunder and lightning slowly rushed out from the hiding place.Gathered the companions around the mud and sand, except for the lightning bug that was eaten, none of them were found.

"Could it be that it also comes and goes during the day, so it can't be seen at night. Or it's just a creature that doesn't get up for a long time after falling asleep like a giant dragon. Could it be that the electric shock just disturbed its sleep?"

"We were just passing by to make soy sauce. It's unfortunate that we met such a guy."

After turning around the mud and sand for a few times, the weird feeling has disappeared, but Lei Dian dare not enter it, who knows if the other party is playing an ambush.

"I didn't expect to evolve such a powerful electric shock beast."

"Looks like I'm still a long way off."

Stimulated by the thunder beast, Lei Dian quickly moved away from this dangerous sandy land with the few remaining companions who were lucky enough to escape, and continued to hunt for food for reproduction.It wasn't until the sun began to slowly appear in the ocean that Lei Dian took the only seven companions left after landing in the shallow sea and a few multicellular bodies that would be used as breeding reserves to find a hidden crack suitable for breeding.

"I didn't expect that the dozen or so thunder bugs who were full of ambition when they first landed in the shallow sea have now turned into seven cautious dwarfs."

"Damn meow, how did I come up with such a tragic metaphor."

"I don't want to be the seven dwarfs who do chores for the princess, but I want to be the dragon who kidnaps the princess to play, and then leave the brave (female) as a maid, and the brave (male) throws it into the lava as firewood Burn, quack."

"It seems that this place is good, and there is no sense of danger. Then."

"System, reproduce."

[The main consciousness chooses to reproduce, has it entered the reproductive period of the race? 】

"Yes"
