"We are here, this is it."

　　 The tentacles opened the vegetation that obscured the view, and the goal was a lake group composed of several large lakes, and a wide variety of biological groups moved around the lake.

One of the most striking is a black arthropod creature, which looks like a stick insect with a slender torso and articulated legs, but it has more legs than a stick insect, with a total of more than 20 pairs of articulated legs, this posture Allow them to expand the largest form with the smallest mass.

　　 These gigantic arthropods relied on their huge bodies to directly enter the lake. The height of the water surface alone is 135 meters.

　　 In addition to these, the more eye-catching features are flying around, like a swarm of bees. The first powerful dynamic vision can easily catch these creatures hovering and flying in the air.

It has a pair of compound eyes, four pairs of wings, three pairs of big wings and a pair of small wings that control the direction. Which part of the eyes with the eyes is not the head of this creature. Its head is on the abdomen, where there is a similar shape. The round mouth of the lamprey is different from the lamprey in that there are several large, unexplained fangs extending from the round mouth.

　　The skin color tends to be dark brown, with three pairs of articulated claws. Just by looking at the hideous appearance of the ground, you can recognize that these creatures are very aggressive.

　　 In addition to these two types, there are many creatures on the shore of the lake, and there are many kinds of them, as if these creatures are in a large gathering of cross-species.

"At the beginning, what you see now is less than one-thousandth of all species on this planet. This is only a very small part. We haven't completed the investigation yet. According to our preliminary estimates, it should be more than the species on Serine. More."

　　 When looking around and observing these for the first time, the collector explained and explained.

　　 After being silent for a while, Chu Chu nodded to the fellows who led the way.

　　 "...It is indeed a planet worthy of the ethnic group's special stay. This planet is special enough."

　　 "The material resources of this star system are very abundant, and the preservation of such a planet has little effect on the development of the race in this star system."

　　 I simply added water at the beginning, and prepared to return to the universe from the Yuntai creatures. The race still has a lot of work waiting for it to do.

　　The collectors began to return to their original path.

　　 "Huh? Is it my illusion? Why do I remember that we haven't walked here?"

On the way back to 　　, the collectors who were still leading the way walked in front, and Chu followed behind.

　　At first, I noticed that the environment of the return journey was different from the original. The collector’s memory ability was very strong, and he didn’t forget to make a mistake, so at the beginning it was easy to find something wrong with the return route.

　　 The gatherers who led the way shook their heads.

　　 "No, this is the route we came, and we have made a mark."

　　 The collector handed a tentacle to Chu's face, Chu recognized a special pheromone from the tentacle, and based on this pheromone, Chu ‘seeed’ a straight route.

"How is this going?"

　　The present situation means that someone is deliberately misleading them, but the problem is that there should be no other intelligent creatures besides them on this planet.

　　 And to change the environment, it is impossible not to cause some movement. If there is movement, the collectors will immediately notice it.

The 　　 leading collectors signaled that they don’t need to be nervous at first, and they explained as they walked.

"This is a survival strategy for plants in the forest. When there are no animals, the plant's mobility will increase. The original position will not change, but the orientation of the branches and the degree of bending of the tree body will change. Come to mislead the animals and let them get lost in the forest."

"Because of this change, some animals can't find the water source they have visited before. During the peak period of stellar illumination, they still walk around in the forest. In order to replenish water, the hungry and thirsty animals can only eat the fruits of plants. To replenish water, we were shocked at first, thinking that some intelligent species was behind the scenes."

　　After looking around, some Mingwu nodded, but it still had a question.

　　 "Some vegetations have no fruits. They should not have such an evolutionary tendency. Why do they do the same?"

　　 "In order to induce the death of animals, species on this planet are feeding each other. Animals eat animals, animals eat plants, plants eat animals, plants eat plants, that's it." Some collectors answered.

　　 "Of course, there are also microorganisms in it. Together, they have built up the entire planet's diverse and complex ecosystem."

　　 "On the grassland, such fierce competition should be relatively small, right?" asked Chu.

　　 "Yes, there are no tall shrubs in the grassland, which cannot cover and disturb the sight of animals, so it is a different survival mode that is very different from the forest."

　　 "When night falls, the low temperature will stimulate the low plants on the grassland to harden, which is almost the same as steel. To put it in a more vivid way, the entire grassland is a ‘sword original’.”

　　 "Predators on the grassland take advantage of this to hunt prey at night. The prey will move in order to escape, and then it will be scratched and bleed by plants. This blood will nourish the low bushes."

"Aren't predators also get scratched by low plants?" At first, I was puzzled~lightnovelpub.net~ predators would be scratched, but they heal quickly, inside low plants. Some of the ingredients can speed up the recovery and sterilization of predators, just like Celine's medicine. "

"Because of this blessing, predators can be injured unscrupulously, without worrying about the consequences of injury, while those vegetarian prey are different. The internal components of low plants cannot help them, and they will be injured. Face the consequences of injury."

　　 The collectors explained to Chu.

　　 "Then the vegetarian prey will be extinct soon?"

“It’s not going to be extinct. It’s just a disadvantage. In order to avoid their own destruction, vegetarian animals that are prey often grow tall. Every step they take is a long distance. It’s easy to escape, although they will still be low. The bushes are scratched, but the injured area is small, and it will heal itself in a few days."

"However, because of being too tall, the vegetarian animals on the grassland are generally unstable. Once they are thrown over by a predator or accidentally tripped, they will no longer be able to stand up again, and the low plants on the ground will fall down. The vegan animal underneath caused penetrating damage."

　　 Speaking of this, the collectors suggested to Chu.

　　 "Speaking of which, the base of the gimbal creatures will also be regarded as prey by those predators from time to time, and they will come to our side for hunting activities every night, which is very interesting."

　　 "In the beginning, do you want to stay one more night on this planet?"

　　 After thinking for a while, Chu shook his head and rejected the proposal of his family.

　　 "I still have my task. The task of building the ethnic group cannot be delayed. I will come again after the construction is over."
