The evolution of Zerg

The nights in the north are beautiful and breathtaking. Now that summer is approaching, the nights have become very short. However, in such a short period of time, Gaia still allowed it to see an unforgettable sight, that is, the aurora.

The aurora is far away from Gaia, but very close, as if it is within reach, but no matter how the host flies, it cannot get close to the aurora.

The natural phenomenon of aurora is also recorded in Zhang Fan's information.

A colorful luminous phenomenon that occurs due to the flow of charged particles from the sun entering the planet's magnetic field. A brilliant and beautiful glow appears at night in high altitudes near the north and south poles.

Creatures south of the northern border are relatively normal and generally gain the right to survive through eating.

However, a very different and strange landscape appeared in the area north of the northern border.

Most of the creatures here have two characteristics coexisting, plant characteristics and animal characteristics.

Among them, Gaia saw a strange beast called the ghost lantern borer. This strange beast was actually inconspicuous during the day, just like a bunch of weeds, quietly doing photosynthesis, even if it was eaten by other creatures. It didn't move at all, and Gaia thought it was a real plant at first.

However, it was wrong. At night, a strange sight appeared. The branches and leaves of the ghost borer began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After gathering together, a ball like a tumor will grow on the top. This ball is very small, about the size of a fingernail.

Then the ball began to glow, and Gaia guessed that this should be a fluorescence effect similar to that of fireflies.

Then, the adult insects began to crawl out of the ground, looked around vigilantly, observed the surrounding environment, and then slowly crawled out. The length of their bodies was equivalent to the length of the plants on their backs.

When they crawl out of the ground, they move quickly to look for other lantern borers.

They will look for bugs that have eaten the plants on their backs. Those bugs have no hope of survival, so they become muddleheaded at night and are eaten by other ghost lantern borers.

After eating the borers, the lantern borers will reproduce. From this point of view, they should be hermaphrodites.

The eggs are laid very quickly, and they are laid while walking. The eggs are laid in a short time.

Do you think this is the end? Then wouldn’t its fluorescent ball be useless?

But no, this kind of fluorescent ball also exists as food, not for yourself, but for others.

The lantern borer has three stages. The first stage is juvenile, which means the stage from laying eggs to birth, and then to the stage of developing plants.

Then came the adult lantern borer stage we see now.

Finally, the ghost lantern borer will evolve into a grimace moth, which is very large and has highly toxic scales.

They will feed on the fluorescent balls on the top of the lantern borer, and they can also spread the eggs of the lantern borer to further corners.

It's just that after becoming a complete body, the Grimace Moth loses the ability to reproduce. What's left is just survival. It doesn't exist for a long time, only a few days, and then it will destroy the nests of other creatures before dying.

This kind of ghost lantern borer, which feeds on itself and destroys the nests of other creatures, has a way of survival similar to that of the Zerg, but the Zerg feeds on the carpet, while they feed on the corpses of their own kind.

After these lantern borers lay eggs throughout the summer, once they have passed the winter, they will be bustling again in the spring.

So what kind of creature eats the lantern borer during the day?

It was a bug called a green-haired bug. This bug was predatory in nature, but it also produced its own energy. During the day, it gnawed on plants and performed photosynthesis through the green hairs on its back.

Anyway, it is active during the day and never stops, but it will fall into hibernation at night. In winter, it hibernates for the whole season.

Why is it called Qiu? Because it is somewhat similar to the horned dragon in Zhang Fan's information. It has four arthropod-shaped legs that allow the green-haired horned dragon to move. There are two horns on the top of its head. These are not grown for attacking enemies, but for attacking one's own people. And long.

The green furry turtle is a solitary insect. Whenever courting, the male green furry turtles will attack each other. Only the strongest green furry turtle will get the right to mate.

They are only active during the day and form an ecological balance with the lantern borer, which is very harmonious.

These bugs also pose no threat to the Zerg.

Gaia discovered that these creatures in the north are actually not powerful, not as powerful as the insects in the forest.

It just has its own characteristics in terms of biological diversity, and it mainly relies on self-support.

From the spring equinox to the autumnal equinox, the sunshine hours in the entire northern region are relatively long. In order to obtain better living conditions, these creatures have evolved the characteristic of photosynthesis.

In late winter, they will choose to hibernate and wait until next year to fight again.

Not all creatures move like insects. Gaia discovered a plant. She didn't know what to call it, so let's call it a demon tree.

It is difficult to define the demon tree. It is also a cold-resistant creature in the north, but it grows very thick and thick.

During the day, they will hang their branches and leaves like a willow tree, fluttering in the wind, and absorb the sunlight. But it would be a big mistake to think that it is so harmonious.

This kind of demon tree is better defined as an animal. Once its branches are touched, the branches will instantly turn into whips, and then a stomach acid-like substance will be secreted from the branches and leaves to break down and digest other living things.

Why is Gaia so clear?

I finally saw a tree and wanted to let the host rest for a while. Unexpectedly, I encountered this kind of monster all of a sudden. The two hosts were sucked in without leaving any residue.

At night, the demon tree really shows its enchanting nature. The leaves begin to close together and stick to the branches, and then a charming fragrance will be released from the gaps in the branches.

This fragrance is very attractive to living things, and Gaia can clearly feel the power of this fragrance on the host.

An insect came, and before Gaia could see it clearly, it was rolled up and crushed by the demon tree, and then decomposed.

The demon tree is an enemy of the Zerg. Its offensive and defensive capabilities are so good. If its genes can be obtained, it will make a huge contribution to the development of the Zerg.

After walking around for many days, Gaia originally wanted to continue taking a look, but the host's physical strength did not allow it to do so, and the hydrogen in the body could only allow it to go back.

Somewhat disappointed, Gaia controlled the host towards the mountains, and soon returned to the Zerg world.
