Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 12 Leadership Consciousness
Seeing the appearance of the hard-toothed fish, the blood relatives in the group spontaneously began to organize protection without the need for Yuan's orders.

The crustaceans quickly gathered together to form a circle, but the number of the group was too great, and just over a thousand crustaceans could not adequately protect these blood relatives.

Even though they kept a close watch and were always ready to attack the hard-toothed fish that was about to attack, the sheer number of people made it impossible for them to take care of every place.

"All evolved blood relatives, return to the group!"

And following Yuan's order, the swimmers and leapers came to the center of the group one after another.

The jumpers raised their bodies high and looked at the toothed fish in the sea above. They lowered their bodies and clung to the sand with their hind limbs.

At the same time the swimmers began to hover over the group.

A rough defensive formation appeared like this.

This is what Yuan came up with while observing a type of crab in a seagrass area.

Yuan called it intimidation.

Just like the crabs that decorate themselves with seaweed and seaweed to make themselves look bigger.

The group of people gathered together looked very large from a bird's eye view.

The standing leapers are like the claws of crabs, a kind of force deterrent to the enemy.

But Yuan also knew that the toothfish would not be frightened by such a scene.

As an experienced predator.

The toothfish has hunted blood relatives in the group many times from this encirclement.

Just like when Yuan faced the threat of the crab, he still chose to eat it without hesitation.

The intimidation of the group is nothing to the toothfish.

Yuan looked at the huge body swimming above his head.

Eye contact between the two.

But the toothfish didn't take Yuan into his heart.

The Yuan is large enough that even hunting under high-speed impact cannot directly kill the Yuan.

Therefore, the hard-toothed fish cleverly avoided Yuan's position.

However, Yuan followed the movement of the hard-toothed fish and moved among the group.

Yuan is doing his best to protect the tribe.

just.

The strength of the hard-toothed fish exceeded Yuan's imagination.

This was Yuan's first close encounter with a hard-toothed fish.

That terrifying power is impossible to stop.

Yuan was just like an insignificant grain of sand in the sea, being knocked aside by the hard-toothed fish.

Even the crustaceans and leapers that rushed forward one after another were unable to stop the impact of the hard-toothed fish.

They were roughly knocked away by the toothed fish, and they watched helplessly as the toothed fish bit into pieces the body of a blood relative, and then swallowed it whole.

Blood floated in the sea water along with bits of debris.

Yuan looked at the silent red liquid and the toothed fish swaggering away, knowing that something like this would happen next.

Yuan knew that he would not be able to defeat the toothfish in a short period of time.

Even if they face the enemy head-on, they are far from their opponents.

"Blood relatives, stop eating seaweed, let's hide in the seaweed!"

Yuan quickly adjusted the group's behavior.

This is what Yuan Lai learned in this sea area, called "disguise".

Originally, Yuan wanted to clear out a piece of seaweed so that his tribe could temporarily grow in it.

But now it seems that this plan has failed.

If you continue to be exposed, you will only be attacked by hard-toothed fish.

Before your own group can't deal with the hard-toothed fish, you can only ensure the stability of your group by hiding first.

The reptile fish climbed up from the previously cleared sand and gravel and moved towards the seaweed that had not yet been cultivated.

Except for Yuan and Jumper, the rest of the blood relatives were well hidden in it.

The size of Yuan and the Jumper is a bit too big, especially Yuan. No matter how careful Yuan is, he will always encounter and overwhelm those seaweeds.His size is really not suitable for hiding in seaweed areas.

So in the end, Yuan found a rock that was raised in the seaweed, and he lay down next to it.

If the seaweed fell down, it could still cover his body.

As for the rest of the blood relatives, you can't find them if you dig into the seaweed area.

At this moment, positioning depends entirely on the connection between Yuan and the ethnic group.

It was only after Yuan became a leader that he gradually discovered this special function of his.

He can easily find the location of every blood relative in the group, and he does not need to communicate through touch like other blood relatives.

Yuan only needs to be near the tribe to give orders to his blood relatives.

Yuan calls this ability leadership awareness.

It seems that only the leader of a group can produce such evolution.

The rest of the blood relatives do not have this ability at all.

Unhindered communication also brought great convenience to Yuan Yuan's entire group.

After the attack by the hard-toothed fish was over, Yuan led the jumpers and swimmers out of the seaweed area and entered the strange rock area to look for food.

Training these blood relatives with certain combat capabilities to hunt together is also to practice in advance for future fights with large predators.

So Yuan will also look for some larger prey to hunt.

The densely packed reptile fish quietly left the seagrass area, following their nature, and immediately entered a state of camouflage after entering the strange rock area.

Yuan looked at those poor disguises and felt very strange.

"Why can we catch food like this?"

But Yuan didn't hesitate for too long, because he quickly found his goal.

It is a rock-eating turtle with a body length of 6 meters, a ferocious head, a thick carapace, and fin-like limbs.

As can be seen from the name, the bite force of the rock-eating turtle is extremely strong.

In fact, the main food of rock-eating turtles is those shelled marine organisms attached to strange rocks.

Of course, crabs and shrimps are their prey.

In short, the shelled ones are part of the diet of rock-eating turtles.

The reason why Yuan called him Rock-Eating Turtle was because this big guy had trouble with his eyesight.

Although the main food of rock-eating turtles is crustaceans, they often mistake rocks on the seabed for their food.

Although Yuan was shocked when he saw that they could really chew up those rocks.

Yuan couldn't understand how they could eat such hard rocks.

And there is something special about rock-eating turtles.

That is, every creature that a rock-eating turtle eats will be very clearly reflected on their thick carapace.

For example, the surface of the shell of a rock-eating turtle that loves to eat shellfish will have the same lines as the shellfish.

If it is a snail, then the carapace on their back will have spiral patterns.

In short, the eating preferences of a rock-eating turtle can be analyzed through the carapace on their back.

Yuan has also seen scenes of rock-eating turtles preying on small shrimps and squids. Of course, he has also seen rock-eating turtles preying on crustaceans in the group.

However, rock-eating turtles have no desire to eat swimmers and leapers.

Just weird.

"Crack!"

The sound of this rock-eating turtle gnawing shellfish is very clear in the sea.

He looked at the crawling fish gradually approaching him and didn't pay attention.

Because the exposed body surface of rock-eating turtles is not fragile.

Those are all hard stuff.

The extremely strong defense gives the rock-eating turtle strong self-confidence. He has the self-confidence to give these reptiles an unforgettable experience when they attack him.
