The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 319 The Seeker

That batch of suicidal ancient web-winged flies had been basically wiped out, and the remaining spore-spraying ancient web-winged flies also evacuated after quickly clearing all the fungal spores in their bodies, preparing for the next plan.

After the gene sequence analysis is completed, the next step is to observe some acquired behaviors to better determine where these creatures, which are absolutely weird in every aspect, came from, or why they came.

After all, the reason for the other party's surprising aggressiveness towards the ancient web-winged flying insects at the beginning has not yet been explained, and this task is not difficult. Lin Yi has long had a way to monitor the creatures continuously.

A large number of fungal spores proliferated into further changed structures and invaded the nervous systems of living creatures one by one. He was already quite skilled in this process. After all, now, the products of this process were still deeply hidden in the nervous system of every individual in the brain of the remnants of Ezki's exploration fleet.

Special neural structures are connected to the original nervous system of the organism, allowing the signals between various sensory nerve signals to flow to the brain while passing through these special structures, and then transmitted into Lin Yi's consciousness through the spatial synaptic structure.

Receiving the organism's own sensory signals in real time, all acquired behaviors that are not expressed in the gene sequence are clearly visible. At this time, the life and death of the remaining ancient web-winged flying insects no longer mattered.

No longer blocked by the suicidal ancient web-winged insects, those strange flying creatures flapped a pair of membranous wings that were quite similar to the small flying dragons native to the Dikla star, and quickly flew forward with their ferocious head pedipalps structures wide open, swallowing the ancient web-winged insects one by one.

The strange thing is that they used the head structure that looked like the former octopus horn stone to wrap the body of the ancient web-winged flying insect, and then used the clustered tooth-like protrusions on the inner edge to nail the body of the ancient web-winged flying insect to death, and then flew past and returned in the direction they came from.

At this point, the fungal carpet spores have basically parasitized successfully, and the sensory signals of many strange flying creatures have appeared in the consciousness. Strange pictures appear in the consciousness, as if they are also seeing things with thermal imaging rather than the visible light band for Earth creatures.

The number of ancient web-winged flies has been reduced to a few due to continuous hunting. The groups of strange flying creatures that were originally gathered by the clusters of ancient web-winged flies also flapped their wings and flew away towards an unknown direction.

Lin Yi and the Anomalocaris nest group had not explored this direction in detail, but it was just right at this time. Through the other party's vision, Lin Yi could also take a look to see if there were some more strange creatures in this area.

Ezki explores where the remnants of the fleet are stationed.

The sound of flapping wings was accompanied by a special signal, and the body of a larger ancient web-winged flying insect climbed on a steel-concrete structure wall made of a mineral exoskeleton structure and a modified version of organic polymer material, and quickly took position in a special position.

On the other side of the wall was a large area of ​​smooth fungal carpet tissue with a special structure. It was pitch black at this time, but soon, bursts of light came on, changing and flashing to form a picture.

Sound and light signals came from the body of the ancient web-winged flying insect, and the cabin was already filled with some scientific researchers in related fields from the Ezki exploration fleet, waiting for the ancient web-winged flying insect to speak.

The picture on the screen began to change, and the image of the strange flying creature in the underground world of Dikla Star appeared on the screen. Every detail was exactly right, including the six arms in front of the head, the two arms in the back, and the luminous communication structure.

This was followed by a series of movements, including the opening and closing of the structures on the head, and most importantly, the flashing light signals on the pair of tentacle structures connected by a thin membrane at the back of the head.

Below, a light signal began to flash, and the signal actually contained some shock. At this time, the ancient web-winged flying insect also began to get into the topic, and bursts of sound and light signals began to be transmitted from its body to the receiving organs of everyone present. "This is a brand new creature we discovered in the underground ecosystem of this planet, and its appearance is different from any creature on this planet and our home planet. Instead, it is closer to the life form on your home planet."

"The most important thing is that through careful analysis of their gene sequences, we found that the gene sequences of these organisms are not completely similar to the life forms of this planet. On the contrary, they are surprisingly similar to your gene sequences!"

The scene instantly fell into deathly silence, with only the light signals echoing in the cabin and the light on the special screen intersecting, telling of the horror of everyone present.

In terms of genetics, all members of the remnants of the Ezki exploration fleet would not question the hive's achievements in this area, and no one would suspect that there was a problem with the hive's genetic sequence analysis process.

After a brief but seemingly endless silence, a voice finally rang out in the cabin:

"Sauron Ops."

The pronunciation of this word was strange and was not within the scope of the Ezki language that Lin Yi currently knew. The other people present were also a little confused. After a few seconds, someone seemed to remember something.

"Is this, Gupanna?"

Lin Yi had heard of this name. It seemed to be an ancient country that was once glorious in the other party's history, but disappeared as early as the cold weapon era. In the history of the other party's civilization development, it was somewhat similar to ancient Egypt or ancient Rome in later generations.

"Panatar is the seeker from the land of death in the legend, who hunts down those who deserve to die?" Immediately, someone else seemed to have thought of something, and this time, it seemed that most people reacted.

"That is?"

Now, it was Lin Yi's turn to feel confused. He had not carefully read the historical and cultural information related to the Ezki civilization, let alone such strange myths and legends. Naturally, he did not understand the other party's association.

"The legend says that there is a strange creature with a head similar to a brachiopod body, but also with flying shell-foot membrane wings and mechanical bone limbs. The appearance of this creature is quite similar to this one."

Someone quickly answered Lin Yi's question, but this soon left Lin Yi and everyone present with even bigger questions.

Previous research results seemed to prove some unknown, interplanetary species communication, but the situation now is different. These strange creatures are surprisingly similar to the fictional images in the Ezki culture.

If there was no evidence of the gene sequence, Lin Yi might have thought it was just a coincidence, but the striking similarity of the gene sequence made him ask himself again:
"Are you sure that your civilization has never reached this planet before?"
