What kind of creature had four limbs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?
The answer was... a new civilized creature that had just arrived on the Blue Plains.
In order to adapt to the environment they lived in, these civilized creatures would constantly change their bodies to live.
They were called 'limb breeders', and as the name implied, their limbs were not grown from their bodies, but were cultivated...
These creatures were two to three centimeters long, and their bodies were shaped like jade. They were spherical and hairy, and had no limbs. They could move forward, but their speed was slow, and there were many 'interfaces' around their bodies.
These interfaces allowed them to connect different kinds of limbs. These limbs were independent, living creatures, but they could not move without connecting them to the limb breeders.
The limb breeders usually placed their limbs in a place called a 'feeding pool', and took them out when they needed to use them. At the beginning of the day, the limb breeders needed to wear strong and powerful limbs to hunt, so they would put on special limbs. These limbs were full of muscle-like structures, and could help them run on the ground, escape from danger, and capture targets.
At noon, they would change these limbs, and let the tired limbs enter a resting state, and then put on two limbs to work. These two limbs had many small tentacles at the end, which allowed them to grasp things and do some delicate work. They usually used these two limbs to make tools or build buildings.
At night, they would wear a third limb. The third limb could not move, but it had a storage function. By this time, the limb breeders had almost digested all the food they ate during the day. Some of the excess nutrients were made into 'compressed nutrient balls' and discharged into the third limb. They stored a large amount of food in this way.
What made Lin interested was that the limb breeders did not wear these limbs before they grew. In fact, these limbs were another kind of creature that lived in a symbiotic relationship with them. The limb creatures would grow in the feeding pool until they reached adulthood, and then the limb breeders would wear them.
That was why they were called limb breeders. They could not live without each other, but the limb breeders were in the position of 'leader' in this symbiotic relationship. They were very intelligent, and constantly wanted to cultivate new limbs to make themselves stronger.
However. Before they completed this task, they received some kind of message. This message told them that the soft-bodied creatures in the underground were about to invade the surface world, and if they did not take measures, their civilization would be completely destroyed.
At the same time. There were also many resources underground.
Therefore, for the sake of the underground resources, the breeders formed an army and came to the Blue Plains underground.
Unlike the other civilizations, they did not "coincidentally" arrive more than ten meters away from the various civilizations here. In fact, the place where they came out was very close to the Earth Mirror camp.
It was only a distance of more than two meters. The limb cultivators came out from a hole in the ground. They quickly occupied the area around the hole and began to build their own camp.
Because of their sudden appearance, Lin studied their lives and found them to be very interesting creatures.
The Earth Mirror thought otherwise.
They were now quite dissatisfied with this group of limb keepers who were too close to them...
"Move away quickly! What are those things doing here? They're a threat to us! "
The Earth Mirror's camp now looked more like a small city. There were towering buildings and a large number of residents. The surrounding area was also surrounded by a wall of flickering mirrors.
Almost everything was created by the Earth Mirror, which proved that there were indeed a lot of resources in this place.
Now, there was a large group of Earth Mirrors on the wall. They were constantly emitting flashes, and the object of light was the limb keepers who were building a camp two meters away.
The camp built by the limb keepers was relatively small. There were no buildings, but there were many things that looked like ponds.
These ponds were generally more than ten centimeters in diameter. They were filled with green mucus.
And in the mucus, there were many... limbs.
The mucus was nutrients for limb creatures. They would slowly recover and reproduce in it, so these ponds were generally called feeding ponds.
And around the feeding ponds. There were many limb keepers equipped with four limbs, which made them look like four-legged spiders.
At the same time, they also wore armor that seemed to be made of metal and were equipped with weapons on both sides of their bodies.
However, there was no armor on their legs because their legs were very strong, and these were not their own limbs. So they did not care much about losses.
Among these four-legged limb keepers, there were also some two-legged limb keepers. Originally, they would not appear together, but now was a special situation.
Looking at them together, it felt like a group of different species... but they were all the same, only the limbs they wore were different. Some limb keepers even brought a third limb to replenish nutrients.
The two-legged limb keepers used some 'raw materials' to make various weapons and armor. Because these two limbs could not be used to walk, these limb keepers moved very slowly and were protected by the troops.
They could not equip limbs with different functions at the same time because there would be a phenomenon of 'nerve conflict', so they could only use a certain type of limb.
The Earth Mirror was now constantly shining its light on them, which made the Limb Raisers feel very uncomfortable. A group of Limb Raisers had already gathered. It looked like they were about to attack the Earth Mirror. They lined up in a row and aimed at the Earth Mirror's wall.
"These things want to attack? We have to kill them all first! That's right, attack! Attack! "
On the 20-centimeter-tall mirror wall, the Earth Mirror saw that the limb keepers gathered in the distance suddenly became restless and looked like they would attack at any time.
However, after a 'Light of Reason' lit up, they all quieted down. "There's no need to attack. We can wait for them to attack. The resources we want to obtain do not conflict with them."
"That makes sense! He agreed to it. Don't do anything rash. "
Although the Earth Mirror decided not to attack, they still kept flashing. This made the limb keepers in the distance very unhappy because they did not understand what the Earth Mirror was saying. They just felt that the light was annoying.
However, there were very few of them now, only about 300 of them, and some of them were limb keepers instead of soldiers. So, facing the vast Earth Mirror on the wall, they wisely chose not to attack directly.
But as more and more limb keepers came out of the cave, they would fight sooner or later.
Smack! Just as Lin was thinking this, the Earth Mirror suddenly attacked. In fact, it was not an attack, but the wall emitted an extremely strong light.
The moment the light shone, the large group of limb cultivators seemed to be frightened and immediately retreated a little. Then …
Bam! A limb keeper shot a large amount of mucus from its side. The mucus shot at the Earth Mirror's wall at high speed and hit the wall.
It did not have any harmful effect.
"They stained our wall!" The Earth Mirror on the wall suddenly became very angry. They shone together, and a large number of Earth Mirrors climbed up the wall.
Facing the countless flashes, the limb keepers were not afraid. The two-limbed limb keepers climbed into their rearing pools and changed into four limbs. More and more limb keepers came out of their caves.
A large army had gathered on both sides, ready to attack at any time...
Lin looked at them and did not try to stop them.
Now, there were a large number of spies in the Earth Mirror, and there were also miniature troops floating in the air. There was even a spy among the limb keepers. Lin mainly used them to see if anything special happened.
Because it was normal for these civilizations to fight, their language was completely different. At most, they would receive some signals from each other, but they had never officially communicated.
They did not come here with the idea of 'fighting the enemy together', but mostly for the resources here.
The miniature machines should have thought of this situation. If these civilizations fought among themselves first, their plan to attack the soft-bodied creatures would definitely not succeed.
So... they should be here to stop this war.
"Hit them!"
A Earth Mirror emitted this light.
At this moment, countless spikes poured down from the mirror wall and rushed at the limb keepers like raindrops.
"Crack!"
The first limb keeper's head was hit by a spike, and it immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
What followed were countless screams as the spikes rained down on the [Limb Nurturers]. Many of the spikes were deflected by their armor, but there were also many that pierced through them.
In the continuous screams, the limb keepers fell to the ground one by one. They had no way to fight back against the Earth Mirror on the high wall in the distance, so they quickly decided... to all run back.
The limb cultivators hurriedly crawled back into the cave from which they had emerged.
Soon, all the limb keepers here escaped, leaving behind a ground full of shot corpses and the rearing pools they did not have time to clean up.
From beginning to end, Lin did not see the miniature machines appear.
But Lin had almost guessed why the miniature machines did not come out. It was not that they did not want to stop this war, but this war did not need to be stopped.
Lin felt that there were some ways to make the miniature machines have to come out to stop this war.
But before that... Lin had to study the new discovery. (~^~)
