Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 27 The bite mark

Yuan searched slowly in the sunken ship.

When he discovered the body of a creature that might have lived on the ship, he began searching for the entire ship.

He wanted to find the creature's complete skeleton.

Although there are bones everywhere here, Yuan can't fight!

Even if he wanted to eat these bones, God knows how long it would take before he could piece together a complete biological skeleton in the evolutionary catalog.

There were too many, and there were skeletons of various creatures mixed in here. God knows whether the kind of creature he ate was.

For Yuan, eating aimlessly like this is better than taking the time to find a more complete skeleton to eat.

Yuan and the Fin Walker kept moving in the sunken ship.

Unlike Yuan, the other creatures here use this sunken ship as their habitat.

They live on this ship and regard this world as their own.

Some creatures were born in this ship.

For them, perhaps the ocean is this ship.

When Yuan went down to an area again, square caves appeared one after another.

Some caves are open, while others are closed.

Yuan explored the caves one after another, looking for the skeleton of the creature he wanted to find.

However, the owners of these caves do not seem to welcome Yuan's arrival.

The slender tentacles that spread all over the cave were waving one after another, trying to drive Yuan out.

But after Yuan chewed their tentacles into pieces, the little creatures shrank back.

Yes, although it looks quite intimidating, the tentacles spread throughout the cave are actually composed of more than a dozen small creatures.

They opened their bodies and spread their tentacles as far as possible throughout the cave. When life came into the cave, they would wave their tentacles in unison.

For a moment, it was as if the entire cave was under attack, giving those who came to this dark area the illusion that the creature I was facing was huge.

In the ocean, the bigger the life, the harder it is to mess with.

However, in the face of Yuan's ocean resonance, the intimidation tactics of these small creatures have no effect at all.

So after they realized that Yuan Geng was not easy to deal with, they quickly shrunk their bodies and hid themselves in the narrow area of ​​the cave.

And Yuan came here just to be curious about the behavior of these creatures.

Through ocean resonance, Yuan already knew that these caves did not contain the bones of the creature he was looking for.

"Perhaps these creatures were not able to live in the ocean like us, so they left the ship when it sank."

Yuan thought, and finally continued searching downwards.

It wasn't until Yuan came to the bottom of the boat that he discovered something strange.

The bottom of the ship was strewn with numerous skeletons.

These skeletons are very obviously the bones of the creatures seen by Yuan Jian.

The bones are incomplete.

Some only have skulls, some only limbs.

But without exception, these bones have fine tooth marks on them.

This shows that these creatures living on the ship died before the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

Their bodies were broken, with signs of bones being broken or bitten at the fractures.

After they died, the remaining bodies sank into the ocean with the ship, and finally the scavengers in the ocean gnawed away what was left of their bodies.

These creatures must have encountered something before they died.

As Yuan moved on the bottom of the boat, he discovered something was wrong.

The ship is sinking.

There was a huge crack at the bottom of the ship. Yuan tried to push the object on the edge of the crack, but he found that his strength was too weak.

Yuan stood next to this crack and rubbed it carefully for a long time.

Finally, Yuan found another row of neat gaps on one side of the gap.

The two rows of gaps are curved, and the farthest distance between them is enough to fit a yuan into.He was certain that the jagged areas on this rift were the same as those of the notches, gnawed out.

Yuan looked at the trench below the rift.

Below is the dark water.

Yuan watched carefully, and for a moment, he seemed to see a giant blood relative rushing out of the trench, opening its big mouth, and then biting hard at the bottom of the ship.

Then seawater began to pour into the ship rapidly, and then, the area where the gap was gnawed in the hull cracked, and finally the seawater dragged the entire ship and sank into the ocean.

Yuan didn't know why he would think of these things.

It's like he should have known.

Yuan looked at the neat row of gaps.

The bottom of the boat, which was as thick as a cub, was chewed through.

Yuan Zi couldn't imagine the size of this sea creature that bit through the bottom of the ship.

But what followed was another problem.

"Why did this blood relative want to destroy this ship?"

Is he out to eat the life in this ship?

Yuan thought it should be impossible.

Because through the wreckage, Yuan could conclude that the life living in this ship was not large.

Those skulls are not even the size of Yuan's hand. Unless they are creatures with small heads and large bodies, Yuan will not be able to eat enough.

For the kind of giant life that can destroy the ship, it is even smaller!

And judging from Yuan's search for the entire ship.

These ship-dwelling creatures are widely distributed, and they move across the entire hull.

The ship's hard shell protects the movements of these creatures.

It would be very troublesome for that giant blood relative to eat the creatures on these ships.

And if they were to be eaten, why were the skulls of these creatures left behind?
Yuan searched the entire bottom of the boat.

It was discovered that after the giant blood relative chewed through the ship in one bite, he never did any more damage to the hull.

From this perspective, destroying the ship may be his real intention.

As for why the ship was destroyed, perhaps the original scene of the snake had already given a meta-revelation.

The ship is the enemy.

In other words, the creatures living on the ship are enemies.

It was precisely because of the discovery of traces of the enemy that the giant blood relative launched an attack on the ship.

The giant blood relatives penetrated the bottom of the ship, and as the gap in the bottom of the ship opened, more small blood relatives entered and attacked the creatures on the ship in the sea water.

The final result is naturally that the ship is destroyed and all the creatures on the ship are swallowed by the ocean.

"But, why would a creature that cannot live in the ocean become the enemy of the tribe?"

Yuan thought of Tiaz.

They are also creatures living in the ocean, and they are also enemies of the group.

But judging from the information obtained by Yuan, although Tiaz are enemies, they can live in the ocean!
And from Jian's previous description, Tiaz can also move in the ocean.

So what is the situation of the creatures on this ship?
"Is this another enemy of the tribe?"

Yuan searched the entire ship and ate some of the newly discovered creatures, but in the end he could not find a single complete skeleton of the creatures that lived on the ship.

After this, Yuan left the wreck with Finwalker and Swimmer and returned to the group.

It cannot be said that the trip to the shipwreck was completely fruitless.

At least there were quite a lot of new creatures discovered, and creatures that seemed to be enemies of the group were also found.

This gave Yuan a richer understanding of his own ethnic group.

It also made Yuan understand that he was just a little thing at the moment.

　I felt unwell yesterday, so today’s update will be postponed to the afternoon.
