Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 14 Strong teeth and sharp teeth
hole.

The quickest and most convenient way to build a shelter is to dig a hole in the ocean floor.

Although Yuan's tribe does not have the talent to dig holes, after a period of training, it is completely capable of evolving a new evolutionary type.

Meta intends to name this new evolved type Digger.

The group's previous hunting of rock-eating turtles was witnessed by many marine creatures.

These marine creatures have a certain degree of consciousness, which means they have a certain degree of intelligence.

Likewise, they are actually blood relatives of different ethnic groups.

Being intelligent means that these guys will start to consider the threat this group poses to them.

This will cause certain difficulties in the group's predatory behavior.

But for the safety of the ethnic group, this is undoubtedly beneficial.

However, one cannot place too much hope on these blood relatives.God knows how long they can remember such a scene.

Just like that hard-toothed fish, after a day of vigilance, it ate a leaper in front of Yuan.

At this moment, Yuan's entire mouth was quietly changing.

After hunting the rock-eating turtle, Yuan clearly noticed the weakness of his own bite force.

So he quickly dug out the evolutionary catalog and found the creature with the strongest bite that he had ever hunted.

Rock-eating turtle.

This is the first rock-eating turtle hunted by the group, and it is also a rock-eating turtle that loves to eat shellfish.

It’s not like I haven’t eaten any of the shelled creatures in this sea area.

He can say very responsibly that the shell strength of shellfish here is much higher than that of snails, shrimps and crabs.

Therefore, not only is the rock-eating turtle's body surface very strong, but its bite force and ability to crush a solid shell are also extremely powerful.

Without hesitation, Yuan transplanted the chewing system that could crush shellfish and rocks in front of him into his own body.

"Although it will look nondescript after it evolves, it will be fine if it can be used."

Without any hesitation, Yuan invested all the evolutionary qualities accumulated in the past two days into his own evolution.

Today, the masticatory muscles of the head are in constant soreness, which is a manifestation of the continuous strengthening of the muscles. At the same time, the teeth in the mouth and the entire mandible are also being replaced simultaneously.

The most obvious manifestation is that Yuan can't eat anything that is too hard recently.

Even chewing meat was too much for Yuan's teeth, and they left their gums and ran away from home.

For Yuan, this is naturally because new teeth are being formed.

Brand new teeth are hard because they need to withstand the pressure caused by the strong biting force.

These teeth are more closely arranged and have cutting and grinding as their main functions, with grinding being more effective than cutting.

Although it seems that rock-eating turtles can bite shellfish shells into pieces in one bite, the esophagus of rock-eating turtles cannot withstand the sharp edges of broken shells.

Once the esophagus is pierced, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, the grinding function also occupies a large proportion in the teeth of rock-eating turtles.

Because the chewing system completely replicates the mouth of a rock-eating turtle, exoskeleton teeth similar to those of a hard-toothed fish will grow around Yuan's mouth over time.

In fact, this is part of the rock-eating turtle's extremely strong chewing ability.

At first glance, Yuan looks like a shrunken crawling toothfish after completing his evolution.

Yuan believed that with such a bite force, he would definitely be able to bite something off the strong shell of the toothed fish.

After all, Yuan had never seen a hard-toothed fish attack a rock-eating turtle, and he must have been wary of the rock-eating turtle's terrifying crushing ability.

Muscle growth, tooth replacement, and exoskeleton growth were all completed within 4 days.

At this moment, Yuan's body has transformed into a head that resembles a toothed fish, a torso covered with a carapace exactly like that of a shrimp and squid, and a tail that resembles the flat tail fin of a baleen fish.

Only his limbs are now similar to those of his own tribe.

The rest of the parts are completely different.However, the identity of the leader does not seem to be verified by appearance.

Yuan's sense of leadership makes them deeply understand who is their boss.

Yuan Xing walks in the seaweed area.

Since breeding is now over, the leapers no longer provide meat for their blood relatives.

So these blood relatives need to find food on their own.

Some blood relatives gradually transform into herbivores and become accustomed to staying in seagrass areas and eating the young leaves of seagrass.

Some blood relatives don't like to eat seaweed, so they still choose to go out to find food on their own.

But they often go out in groups.

Yuan also finally understood why he thought it was safe to stay with the clan in the first place.

With so many targets, predators aren't necessarily going to find him.

However, Yuan Ye saw with his own eyes that when those blood relatives were in danger, as long as there were other blood relatives around him, they would rush over without hesitation.

Even if that predator is stronger than them.

This approach can often delay the arrival of surrounding swimmers or leapers.

If the predator does not escape in time, he will be killed by the group after killing a blood relative.

"The tribe is getting stronger."

Yuan was very touched by this.

He clearly felt that under his leadership, the fighting ability of the tribe was constantly increasing.

At the same time, the number of blood relatives who have begun to evolve in the group is also increasing.

The toothfish still swims somewhere in this sea area.

Yuan looked at the giant creature and licked his brand new mouth with his tongue.

He picked up a shellfish in his mouth, and when he exerted force on his upper and lower jaws at the same time, the shell of the shellfish soon made an overwhelming sound.

As the force of the element gradually increases, the solid outer shell begins to gradually crack, and then completes the explosion at a certain extreme point with a "bang" sound.

Yuan put this shellfish creature completely into his mouth. The strong shell and the tender and juicy shellfish meat blended together to form a special taste.

Yuan nimbly removed the shell meat from the shell, and then brought the shell to his molars.

In the crunching sound, the hard shell was ground into powder.

Mixed with saliva, Yuan swallowed the powder into his stomach pouch.

A strong reaction occurs the moment calcium carbonate comes into contact with digestive juices.

A large amount of carbon dioxide gas emerges from Yuan's stomach, passes through the esophagus, and reaches the mouth.

Yuan opened his mouth slightly and spit out a bubble.

"No wonder those rock-eating turtles often spit bubbles after eating. It turns out that they spit bubbles after eating carapace."

Yuan felt that he had mastered some strange knowledge again.

Before Yuan replaced the chewing system of these shells, it would have been impossible to break open the strong carapace so easily and take out the delicious shellfish inside.

Yuan had seen that a swimmer had taken out the shell meat after hitting it on the tip of the rock many times with a shell.

And I couldn’t eat the shell.

It's different now, Yuan can easily complete the demolition.

Just when Yuan Yang was feeling proud, a familiar black figure in the distance slowly approached.

Yuan opened his mouth, revealing his brand new teeth as a deterrent.
