"You see, they use tools, live in groups, and communicate with each other."

The collectors on the terrestrial planets pointed out the reasons for their determination, but such standards cannot be recognized by all collectors.

"They don't even have clothes."

"But we don't have either." The collector on the Earth-like planet retorted.

"..."

Indeed, this rebuttal point of view is problematic. If wearing or not wearing clothes can assess whether a species is intellectual and intelligent, then the awakening of the race from the natural whole can be achieved too easily.

After some discussions, the collectors came up with a standard for assessing whether a species possesses intelligence and wisdom.

"It doesn't count to be able to use tools, at least it is to be able to make tools, and there is a way to pass on knowledge, this is a qualified intelligent species, so that civilization can be formed, do they have these?"

Wisdom represents the ability to create. Conversely, understanding that only the ability to create can prove that a species has wisdom and knowledge.

The way that wisdom assists in passing on knowledge can naturally build civilization.

"I don't know, let's observe it for a while.

...

On the surface of a terrestrial planet, in a dense forest of purple leaves, the four-legged creature discussed by the collectors is sitting on a rock, honing something.

With each movement of the four-legged creature, there will be a sigh of noise. It sounds so noisy that there is no other type of animal around this four-legged creature because of this four-legged creature. The strange noise made was scared away.

Together with the class, they kept this distance from him, and occasionally looked at him weirdly.

"Grumbling..."

One of the same kind walked up to the four-legged creature, dancing and screaming at what the four-legged creature was doing, making various strange calls from time to time.

"Guru Guru Guru..."

Seeing the actions of the same kind, the four-legged creatures stopped and screamed again, carefully handing the things in their hands to the same kind for them to look at.

Simple actions indicate their social behavior. The same kind of creatures are curious about what the four-legged creatures do. The previous actions are expressing what they want to understand, and the subsequent actions of the quadrupeds are to satisfy their own kind. curiosity.

The four-legged creature’s hand is a stone. To be precise, it is a polished stone. The stone has a blade surface, but because it is blunt, it cannot be called a stone knife. The texture on the side of the stone can be seen to be polished. Traces, touch with hands can still feel a little bit of temperature generated by long-term grinding.

However, this kind of thing is too advanced for quadruped creatures, so that apart from the polisher himself, they can’t understand the function of this thing. After observing it for a while, the same kind went to other places without interest. The four-legged creature repeated the previous polishing behavior again.

Everything returned to peace.

"Grumbling!"

Suddenly, a strange cry came from the jungle, breaking the tranquility of the dense purple leaf forest.

I saw a four-legged creature rushed out of the forest in a panic, and ran forward desperately, and then a shadow shot suddenly, and the hideous blood basin snapped the four-legged creature that was escaping with one mouthful.

Seeing this horror, the four-legged creatures did not have the determination to fight against it. As early as the snake-shaped creature ran out, they were already running around and climbing towards the tree.

"Gurulu!" the four-legged creatures screamed in panic.

It was a long, boa-like creature, but its mouth was like a petal. The hard cuticle wrapped around the petal's mouth gave people a very aggressive feeling.

The body is very large, and the open blood basin and mouth are already comparable to the size of a four-legged creature.

Using the muscles of the petal's mouth, combined with the firm cuticle, squeezed the prey in the mouth, and the rattling sound of broken bones echoed in the woods, incomparably permeating.

The four-legged creatures that were tightly clamped were gradually extinct in the heart-piercing screams of neighing, and finally swallowed by the creatures in the form of snakes.

squeak--!

The snake-shaped creature that had eaten a four-legged creature was not satisfied, and screamed at other four-legged creatures around. The four-legged creature that fled to the tree panicked and climbed to the higher end of the tree.

Snake-shaped creatures began to climb up around the tree, this is the ability to hunt four-legged creatures evolved.

This behavior led to the chaos of the four-legged creatures on the tree. They rushed to jump from one tree to other trees. There was no orderly behavior that caused a considerable part of the four-legged creatures to fall under the tree.

The snake-shaped creature then fell to the ground and began to hunt and kill the four-legged creatures on the ground.

Just as the snake-shaped creature was eating Zhenghuan, it suddenly felt that its head was hit hard, something hit its head, and it was still fixed on its head.

squeak--!

He screamed again, but this time because of panic.

"Guru... Guru..."

"Guru... Guru..."

The four-legged creature on the tree was watching everything under the tree. It turned out that a four-legged creature fell on the head of the snake-shaped creature, and then hugged it tightly with its limbs to fix itself.

"Gurulu!"

Accompanied by the shout of the four-legged creature, the stone blade in his hand slammed heavily on the snake-shaped creature's head.

Because of this blow, the snake-shaped creature stinged and rolled, and began to hit the thick tree with its own body, and forcibly broke a tree that was equivalent to the waist of an adult.

The four-legged creature that dared to fight back was thrown far away at once.

The snake-shaped creature looked at the culprit that caused him to be so embarrassed. Of course, he hated the four-legged creature in front of him. A flick was another heavy blow to the four-legged creature. Broken tendons.

The stone blade that had been carefully polished fell aside, leaving only a deep or shallow mark on the snake-shaped creature's tail, without even creating a wound.

Seeing this, the snake-shaped creature bowed and ejected, preparing to give the four-legged creature the final blow, swallowing this damn, daring prey into its abdomen.

squeak--!

Cang!

Accompanied by the sound of gold and iron fighting, a creature blocked the snake-shaped creature's attack, and two venomous limbs blocked the snake-shaped creature’s petal mouth. No matter how hard the snake-shaped creature moved forward, this one blocked it. The creatures affecting the hunting in front of him showed no signs of retreating. It seemed that it was not a creature that stood in front of it, but a boulder that it could not shake.

Pouch!

The third limb easily penetrated the snake-shaped creature's head, and the remaining limbs nailed the snake-shaped creature to the ground, no matter how hard it struggled.

"Grumbling..."

"Grumbling..."

Both the four-legged creatures on the tree or under the tree were shocked by the scene in front of them, hiding in a place where they thought it was safe to watch.

After confirming the death of the snake-shaped creature, the collector used the tentacles to pick up the carefully polished but unfinished stone knife. After the single-molecular blade was charged, it cut a sharp blade surface for the stone knife, and then handed it to the distance to hide. Four-legged creature behind the tree.

The four-legged creature was injured, otherwise it would run into the tree at this moment instead of hiding somewhere under the tree.

"Goo... Guru... Guru..."

The collectors tried to prove their harmlessness by using the strange language of the opponent.

There was a stalemate like this for a while, the four-legged creature still hid because of fear, and the collector kept the gesture of handing out.

In terms of patience, the four-legged creatures are not as good as the collectors. After almost a day and a half have passed, the four-legged creatures first began to make tentative weird calls.

"Grumbling..."

This strange call is like asking the collector.

"Guru..."

The collector responded, and kept the action of handing out the stone knife.

After another half day, the four-legged creature approached the collector suspiciously, and then regained its stone knife from the tentacle.

At the moment of recapturing, the four-legged creature suddenly ran back to its hiding place.

The gatherer watched the four-legged creatures hide again, put down some food on the spot, and left ~lightnovelpub.net~, leaving the vigilant four-legged creatures watching in the hiding place.

After the collectors completely left, the four-legged creatures were driven out, and the same kind on the tree dared to go down to the ground.

The four-legged creature that recovered from the panic noticed the change of its precious stone knife. It brandished the stone knife and slashed on a nearby tree, leaving a very obvious wound.

The four-legged creature looked at the stone knife in his hand, and then at the direction where the collector was leaving. After going back and forth several times, he let out a strange cry that seemed to be amazed.

"Grumbling!"

Since that day, the four-legged creatures on the planet have exhibited a strange behavior. They will use branches and stones to build a weird object, and then collectively polish the stones nearby.

A piece of radio information spread out from the earth-like planet.

"There is a special creature on a planet with a complex ecosystem. The creature is initially determined to be intelligent and is still in the transitional stage between barbarism and civilization. It is optimistic that they will complete the formation of civilization in hundreds of thousands of years."
