35 Chapter 35 Small and Complex (1/2)
After eating the second leaf-shaped worm, Lin had already received enough nutrients, and now she could resurrect the Buckler worm.
Lin combined a multi-cell structure with a front and back tip, which can be described by the term ”streamline”. This structure swims faster in water. Lin calls it a ”transporter”, which mainly consists of a large number of fat cells. Transported back to the location of the Buckler worm, because it does not want to go back, but also wants to continue to eat some leaf-shaped worms.
Lin assembled ten transporters, each of which consisted of more than one hundred thousand cells. They had a circle of small long tentacles in the middle of their bodies to swim. After the fat cells were installed in the hollow interior, they turned towards Swim back in the direction of the ice cave.
Following this, Lin looked again at a leaf-shaped insect not far away.
These immobile foods are really great.
Lin happily twirled the carrier's tentacles, and when it was about to swim, it suddenly felt something was wrong, the feeling of some cells on the cortex disappeared, but Lin did not feel pain.
Did you die without pain?It's really strange ...
Lin released the devourer from the aircraft carrier to investigate the place where the feeling disappeared. This situation was probably attacked. Lin can only know that it should be the rear position near the spout.
The body of the aircraft carrier is too large, and it contains hundreds of millions of cells. It is impossible to completely observe the entire body with the two eyeball tentacles near the front. The hardening of the cortex also makes the body surface feel dull, although there are two special The small tentacles used to sense the fluctuation of the water flow, but like the eyes, they cannot take care of the whole body.
The Devourer swam along the aircraft carrier's cortex to the rear of the aircraft carrier, and immediately saw the cause of the incident. On the cortex near the aircraft carrier's spout, there was a weird creature. The body of this thing looked like five thick and flat The combination of tentacles, it is attached to the cortex of the aircraft carrier, Lin can feel the part of the cortex cells it is constantly disappearing.
'starfish'.
The name did not come from Lin himself, but came out of her thoughts. Lin felt quite suitable for this creature.
Is this starfish eating cortical cells?But why doesn't Lin feel pain?
Maybe this creature has some way to prevent the cells from feeling pain, so as to achieve the purpose of 'stealing', but Lin can still feel that the cells are constantly disappearing, so it can be said that this creature's plan has failed.
Thinking of Lin releasing a large number of devourers, let them attack.
This 'starfish' is about ten times larger than a large devourer. The surface still looks soft and can move tentacles at will, which means it has no hard shell and should be able to deal with it easily.
The devourers bite the starfish's five tentacles, and then they retreat hard, hoping to pull the starfish off the cortex.
The starfish is tightly attached to the aircraft carrier, no matter how hard the devourers can pull it, and the cone cell combination in the devourer's mouth cannot scratch its skin.
The skin of the starfish looks soft and can move freely, but in fact, the surface of the skin is very hard, it seems that the feature of ”flexibility” is very powerful, and there are many spiky protrusions on the skin, which undoubtedly increases The difficulty of the devourer biting it.
What a troublesome thing.
If it were n’t for Lin ’s hammer-shaped tentacles, it would be easy to knock it off.
However, Lynn has more than one kind of phagocytosis. The cone cells in the mouth of the original phagocytosis are singular, and there is not much combination, so as to effectively crush other cells.
Since the events of the Buckler worm, Lin has increased the number of large phagocytes and is prepared to deal with other multicellular creatures, and some phagocytes have been specialized. Lynn has combined many curved long forms in their mouths. The sharpened hardened structure at the end is called 'giant teeth'. The teeth of this kind of phagocytosis are much larger than those of the former phagocytosis, so it is not suitable for crushing single cells, but it is very suitable for dealing with such multicellular organisms.
Lin let the ordinary devourer give up, and the giant tooth devourer attacked the starfish. The giant tooth devourer bit on the starfish's tentacles, and the mouth-filled huge fangs suddenly penetrated the starfish's antennae under the pressure of his muscle In the meantime, Lin immediately let the giant-tooth devourer loose his mouth, and the starfish's cells flooded out of the wound.
Lin asked the devourers to quickly pack up these cells, and then rushed to the starfish's wound together, tearing the soft structure it exposed.
