How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 243: Eating and Being Eated

The quiet sea of clouds was suddenly broken by a giant beast. It rolled, twisted and twitched. It seemed to be suffering unparalleled pain, and the mourning even covered the chaotic airflow of the surrounding environment for a moment.

Suddenly, it stiffened and mechanically turned its head to a floating island creature and approached it. Its huge body lay directly on the side of the floating island creature, like a dead fish on the beach. In fact, it was indeed dead and was killed by its prey swallowed in its belly.

The tough shell on the back was broken from the inside, several tentacles nailed to the outside, and an egg-shaped organism crawled out with the help of tentacles.

"Who designed this creature? Why do serrations grow in the stomach? It really hurts. What is the meaning of serrations in the stomach?"

"Maybe it's to prevent creatures like us from breaking through from the inside?"

"Maybe, but it turns out that it's useless. What should come will come. It's really because it eats so much and is not afraid of eating problems."

"By the way, it's not easy for us to finally log in."

"Yes."

First, they were attacked by a large number of biomes, and then they were swallowed into their stomachs by this giant creature. There was a one-day trip to scrape thousands of knives in the abdomen, and it was also accompanied by various corrosive stomach juice drinks... It's more for them to perpetuable. Now they have unique skills, and they died early before.

"Once again, I sincerely congratulate you for making things difficult for us like that..."

"I feel the same way."

"By the way, where did these creatures come from?"

Looking back at the dead beast behind him, the tough scales cover the body surface, and the mouth occupies one-third of the body size. The collector also relies on the internal cavity to achieve the suspension effect, but it is better than the collectors' design and can achieve the same upsidence adjustment as a submarine.

"There are life fields, which should be related to those who stay with the same clans. Find them and ask them clearly."

"Of course, it won't change if you ask before. It will cause us trouble."

Perpetually put forward his own ideas, and other collectors agreed with it, putting the problem on hold for the time being and continuing to look for the previous radio transmission source.

It was just a simple pick-up task, but it was so complicated.

Simply circled around the outside of floating island creatures, Nothing was found, but occasionally I saw two or three flying creatures that had attacked them before.

At this time, the flying creatures did not show the intention to attack. Maybe they were full. Since the other party did not want to find fault, they were too lazy to fight. It was just a waste of time.

What collectors care about on floating islands is probably those vegetation. The vegetation is the division of aliens. The collectors do not have such a boundary, but they have similar beehives, rhizomes, giant structures, etc.

However, no matter which one, they all have a characteristic, that is, they have a considerable role and lose their ability to act, of course, to achieve a certain purpose, either individually or collectively.

Therefore, part of the attention of the collectors is attracted by the vegetation, thinking about understanding the significance of the existence of this species on the floating island and understanding the whole ecosystem of the planet.

Then, they really had a little surprise...

First of all, these vegetation does not look as luxuriant as earth plants. Because there is no need for photosynthesis, there are no leaves, only bare branches.

There are countless holes in these vegetation, which are enough to make dense phobia patients kill on the spot. At first, the collectors could not understand what kind of damage was caused by a small creature, but as the observation deepened, it was found that these vegetation deliberately grew like this.

High-speed airflow will pass through the small holes in the vegetation. In hydrodynamics, when the flow is high, the flow rate is large and the pressure is small. The proved experiment is to blow air between two pieces of paper, and the pieces of paper will spontaneously fit together. This is the principle used by these vegetation.

The gas flows through the pore at high speed, creating an inward attraction in the pore, so the blood of the vegetation will accelerate by being squeezed when it flows through the pore. The vegetation uses this kinetic energy to synthesize organic matter.

These organic compounds will accumulate and store at the end of the branches, so there are irregular lumps swelling in that place.

"What an interesting design. We never thought that there would be such a way to use wind energy."

"This should be the production capacity foundation of the entire ecosystem, but how to solve the material of this ecosystem? Energy cannot exist independently of matter.

"It should be to get material from floating island creatures. The two species seem to be mutually beneficially symbiosis. Floating island organisms provide material, and these windy vegetation provide biological energy."

Continuing to go a distance, the collectors noticed the creatures lying on the windy vegetation, which sucked the organic matter stored at the end of the branches.

The appearance is wide and flat, and the whole body is dark, like a manta ray, but it has no tail and carries three shark-like fins. When the collectors approach, it disturbs them, like frightened birds, rushing around in the bare forest, fast but very flexible.

In view of the lack of aggression, they are too lazy to take care of perpetuality. However, another group of creatures hiding in the dark have to take care of it. Another creature wields a sickle on the tree, accurately eats a small creature, and occasionally jumps from one tree to another to transfer the hunting site.

The protective color effect of the other party is very good. If it weren't for the help of the life field, it would be difficult for them to capture each other even if they are well-eyed collectors.

They noticed this aggressive creature, and the other party also noticed them, but the other party just looked at it from afar and did not mean to attack. On the one's, it was far away and unreachable. On the other, the egg-shaped organism of the collector was closer to the ground, which was not a safe place for this creature. Now When the food is abundant, you don't have to risk approaching.

However, it is not absolutely safe on the tree. Just when the aggressive creature is ready to jump to another tree, the claws suddenly drop in the sky and catch the creature away.

The collectors adjusted their visual distance and soon saw the true face of the intruder. It was the flying creatures that were close to the floating creatures. The hunter who was just slaughtering wantonly became the food of others in an instant. Little by little, he was torn and eaten by the other party's fangs and claws.

For collectors, weak flying creatures are all hegemonic creatures on these floating islands, belonging to one of the species at the top of the food chain...

When a small creature shaped like a manta rays passes around the egg-shaped organism, it is eaten by an extremely accurate piercing body.

"It's not very delicious, at least in terms of the taste of those aliens."

"There is not much biological energy provided. It's really a waste. I kind of miss the organic group synthesized by the beehive over there."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mention this, okay? I've been thinking about it for a moment."

The collectors are still exploring...
