How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 681 Wisdom and Intellect

"You see, they use tools, live in groups, and communicate with each other."

The collectors on the terrestrial planet indicated the reasons for their determination, but such a standard could not be recognized by all collectors.

"They don't even have clothes."

"But neither do we." The collectors on the terrestrial planet retorted.

"..."

Indeed, there is a problem with this rebuttal point of view. If whether a species is intelligent or intelligent can be judged by whether or not it wears clothes, then the awakening of the race from the whole of nature is too easy to achieve.

After some discussion, the collectors came up with a standard for assessing whether a species is intelligent and intelligent.

"Knowing how to use tools doesn't count, at least being able to make tools, and having a way to pass on knowledge, is a qualified intelligent species, so that civilization can be formed. Do they have these?"

Wisdom represents the ability to create. Conversely, only the ability to create can prove that a species is intelligent and intellectual.

And the way wisdom assists in the inheritance of knowledge can naturally build civilization.

"I don't know, let's observe for a while and see."

...

On the surface of the terrestrial planet, in a dense forest of purple leaves, the four-legged creature discussed by the collectors is sitting on a rock, polishing something endlessly.

With every movement of the quadruped creature, there will be a "xixi" sound, which sounds so loud that there is no other type of animal around this quadruped creature, all because of this quadruped creature The strange noise was frightened away.

Even the same kind kept a certain distance from him, occasionally looking at him strangely.

"Gulu Gulu..."

A similar creature walked to the side of the four-legged creature, danced and danced at what the four-legged creature was doing, and made various strange calls from time to time.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr..."

Seeing the actions of the same kind, the four-legged creature stopped moving and responded with a strange cry, and carefully handed the things in its hand to the same kind for them to look at.

Simple movements show their social behavior. The same kind are curious about what the quadrupeds are doing. The previous actions are to express the meaning they want to know, and the subsequent actions of the quadrupeds are to satisfy the needs of their own kind. curiosity.

In the hands of the quadruped creature is a stone, to be precise, it is a stone that has been polished. The stone has a blade, but because it is very blunt, it cannot be called a stone knife. The texture on the side of the stone can be seen. Traces, you can still feel a little temperature from long-term grinding by touching it with your hands.

However, this kind of thing is too advanced for four-legged creatures, so that no one except the grinder can understand the function of this thing. After observing it, the same kind went to other places without interest. The four-legged creature repeated the previous grinding behavior again.

All is at peace.

"Gugulu!"

Suddenly, a strange cry came from the jungle, breaking the tranquility of the purple leaf forest.

I saw a four-legged creature rushing out of the forest in a panic, running forward desperately, and then a shadow suddenly flew, and the ferocious blood basin bit the running four-legged creature with a big mouthful.

Seeing this terrifying four-legged creature, they didn't have the determination to fight against it at all. They were already running away and climbing towards the tree when the snake-like creature ran out.

"Gululu!" The four-legged creatures screamed in panic.

It was a long, python-like creature, but its mouth was like a petal, and the petal's mouth was covered by a hard cuticle. The appearance alone gave people a very aggressive feeling.

Its body is very large, and its open mouth is already comparable to that of a quadruped creature.

Using the muscles of the petal mouth, combined with the strong cuticle, to squeeze the prey in the mouth, the crunching sound of bone breaking echoed in the forest, which was extremely penetrating.

The four-legged creature that was tightly clamped died gradually amid the heart-piercing screams, and was finally swallowed by the snake-like creature.

squeak--!

Not satisfied with eating a quadruped, the snake-like creature screamed sharply at the other quadrupeds around it, and the quadruped that fled to the tree panicked and climbed to the higher end of the tree.

The snake-like creature began to climb around the tree, a skill evolved to hunt quadrupeds.

This behavior led to the chaos of the quadrupeds on the tree. They scrambled to jump from one tree to the other. The behavior without any order caused a considerable number of quadrupeds to fall under the tree.

The snake-like creature immediately fell to the ground and began to hunt and kill the four-legged creatures on the ground.

Just as the snake-shaped creature was eating happily, it suddenly felt that its head was hit hard, and something hit its head, and it was still fixed on its head.

squeak--!

It neighed again, but this time from panic.

"Gulu... Gulu..."

"Gulu... Gulu..."

The four-legged creature on the tree looked at everything under the tree. It turned out that a four-legged creature landed on the head of the snake-shaped creature, and then hugged it tightly with its four limbs to fix itself.

"Gululu!"

As the four-legged creature shouted, the stone blade in its hand hit the snake-shaped creature's head heavily.

Because of this blow, the snake-shaped creature curled and rolled in pain, and began to hit the thick tree with its own body, abruptly breaking a tree that was equivalent to the waistline of an adult.

The four-legged creature that dared to fight back was thrown far away at once.

The snake-shaped creature looked at the culprit that caused him such embarrassment. Of course, he hated it to the bone. He locked on to the four-legged creature in front of him, and with a flick of his tail, he hit the four-legged creature hard. Broken ribs.

The carefully polished stone blade fell aside, leaving a not-so-deep mark on the snake-shaped creature's tail, without even creating a wound.

Seeing this, the snake-like creature arched its body and ejected, preparing to give the quadruped creature a final blow, swallowing this damned prey that dared to challenge itself.

squeak--!

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of metal and iron clashing, a creature blocked the snake-like creature's pounce, and its two fangs framed the petal mouth of the snake-like creature. The creatures in front of it that affected the hunting did not show any sign of retreating, as if what stood in front of it was not a creature, but a boulder that it could not shake.

Pooh!

The third fang easily pierced through the snake-like creature's head, and the remaining fangs pinned the snake-like creature to the ground, no matter how much it struggled, it was useless.

"Gulu Gulu..."

"Grrrrrrrrrrr..."

No matter the four-legged creatures on the tree or under the tree, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, and hid in places they thought were safe.

After confirming the death of the snake-like creature, the gatherer picked up the meticulously polished but unfinished stone knife with his tentacles. After the single-molecule blade was charged, it cut a sharp edge on the stone knife, and then handed it to the distance to hide. Quadrupeds behind trees.

The quadruped was hurt, or it would be running up a tree now instead of hiding somewhere under it.

"Gu... Gulu... Gulu..."

Collectors try to prove their harmlessness by using the other party's strange language.

After a stalemate like this for a while, the four-legged creature was still hiding because of fear, while the gatherer kept handing out.

In the competition of patience, the four-legged creature was inferior to the gatherer. After about a day and a half passed, the four-legged creature first began to make tentative screams.

"Gulu Gulu..."

This strange cry seems to be asking for the collector's meaning.

"Gulu..."

The collector responded and kept on handing out the stone knife.

After another half a day, the four-legged creature approached the collector suspiciously, and then took back its stone knife from the tentacles.

The moment it was regained, the four-legged creature suddenly ran back to its hiding place.

The collectors watched the quadrupeds hide again, put some food on the spot, and then left, leaving the vigilant quadrupeds watching from the hiding place.

Only when the collectors left completely did the four-legged creatures dare to come out, and the same kind on the trees also dared to go down to the ground.

The four-legged creature recovered from the panic and belatedly noticed the change of its precious stone knife. It swung the stone knife and chopped it on a nearby tree, leaving an obvious wound.

The quadruped creature looked at the stone knife in its hand, then at the direction the gatherer was leaving, and after repeating this several times, it let out a strange cry that seemed to be amazed.

"Gulu Gulu!"

Since that day, the four-legged creatures on the planet have had a strange behavior. They will build a weird-looking object with branches, stones and other things, and then collectively polish the stones nearby.

A radio message spreads outward from an Earth-like planet.

"There is a special creature on a planet with a complex ecosystem. This creature is preliminarily determined to be intelligent, and is still in the transitional stage between barbarism and civilization. It is optimistically predicted that they will complete the formation of civilization in hundreds of thousands of years."
