Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 4 A New Species
Yuan saw the endless ocean.

At the same time, Yuan also sees the sky.

sky.

In Yuan's memory, the sky is an area that the ethnic group has never touched, so the sky is unknown to Yuan.

Just like the land.

But unlike the land, which only exists in concept, at least Yuan can see the sky now.

Yuan stared blankly at the sky for a while.

The blue sky and white clouds are equally endless, and there is nothing else.

"boring."

An idea popped into Yuan's mind.

Ever since, Yuan dived into the water again.

70 meters below the sea surface, the endless blood relatives are still crawling, looking for the so-called land.

They move forward in the sea, one after the other.

What will be the first?
Yuan looked at the huge team and suddenly thought of something in his mind: "Go up and have a look?"

He wanted to get to the front of the line of blood relatives.

Thinking of this, Yuan immediately paddled forward.

The limbs slid randomly in the water. Although the speed was slow, it was at least faster than the crawling of these blood relatives.

In less than an hour, Yuan reached the front of the line.

However, to Yuan's disappointment, there was nothing unusual at the front of the team.

Apart from the endless white gravel, there are the backs of blood relatives.

The blood relatives in the front row walked at the front of the team, regardless of the direction, they only knew that they were heading towards the land.

However, compared to this, there is still something that makes Yuan curious.

That's the new creature!
Yuan discovered a new creature!

"Fish?" This was Yuan's first opinion about new creatures.

Because the main structure of the new creature is somewhat similar to the fish Yuan saw in the history of the group.

The new creatures are also fish-shaped, but unlike Yuan's group, they have limbs growing under their abdomens. The new blood relatives' pectoral fins are wing-shaped, like a pair of wide wings.

Judging from the wing-shaped appearance of its pectoral fins, it can only be said to be exactly the same as the manta ray, a marine creature on Earth.

At the same time, a pair of long tentacles under the belly of the new creature floated in the seawater, but they seemed to have no special use.

"Pterodactyl fish."

Based on the opponent's own characteristics, Yuan gave this new creature a name.

Very straightforward, just like the name Yuan gave to his own group, reptile fish.

The body size of the pterygoid fish is slightly larger than that of the Yuan.

Although the body length is only one head longer, due to the wing-shaped pectoral fins, the body size of the pterygoid fish is actually at least twice larger than that of the reptile fish.

For a reptile fish, this is already a big guy.

A large number of fish were swimming in front of Yuan's group, but it looked like they were just passing by.

Because the pterygoid fish group did not show any behavior towards the reptile fish group.

But facing new life, Yuan is very curious.

So under the eyes of all the blood relatives, he slowly swam forward.

Yuan suddenly moved forward, which obviously frightened the school of fish.

The big guys danced their pectoral fins, flapped their wings in the sea, and swam forward at a faster speed.

His eyes confirmed that Yuan was too fast to catch up.

Yuan's speed can't even catch the sparse bubble exhaust of the fish.

"so fast."

This was what Yuan thought when he saw those bubble exhausts, so Yuan thought of a way to get faster swimming speed.How to swim faster?
After witnessing the swimming of the winged fish, Yuan immediately thought about whether he could swim like the winged fish.

Since the baleen fish can swim so fast, can it also do the same?
However, it turns out that the swimming method of pterygoid fish is not suitable for Yuan.

Due to the structure of the body, Yuan's limbs can only be at a perpendicular angle to the trunk, and cannot move closer to his back.

So learning the swimming posture of the pterygoid fish is just between the flapping of these four short legs, wow.

"How can I swim faster?"

Yuan thought.

To push his body forward, he only relied on the instinct of paddling in the water, and had no idea how to paddle to improve efficiency.

So it looks very clumsy.

However, through repeated attempts, Yuan Ye gradually discovered that sliding his limbs in one direction at the same time allowed his body to swim forward faster.

Moreover, it does not mean that the greater the sliding amplitude and force, the farther the forward speed and distance will be.

It's all skills.

As a result, a new swimming style emerged.

The specific paddling posture can be compared to the way a duck paddles.

But Yuan's movements are slower.

Relying on this gliding posture, Yuan's speed in the ocean is faster, at least he can barely catch up with the bubble exhaust of the fish.

Of course, Yuan will not stay away from the large group of people just because of his curiosity about the winged fish.

Being far away from the ethnic group always makes Yuan feel unsteady.

There is a feeling of being eaten by other creatures in the ocean.

But why can’t we be eaten if we are with the tribe?
Yuan didn't understand.

But despite this, Yuan still chooses to stay with the clan.

Although he still often runs outside to explore the sea, when the tribe becomes insignificant in his eyes, Yuan will choose to return to the tribe.

However, in this empty ocean, except for the sand and the group of fish in front, Yuan did not find any other marine life.

Even the marine environment has not changed at all.

There is white sand everywhere, and there are no living things living in the sand.

And those plankton floating around are actually invisible to Yuan.

Days go by like this.

Although it was said before that the seabed was much closer to the sea level, after traveling for a day or two, the distance was further away.

Seeing the brightness of the sea getting lower and lower, Yuan Ye knew that he was walking downwards.

And as the group moved forward, Yuan also discovered something interesting.

Although Yuan crawls on the seabed for a long time, Yuan often jumps up from the seabed and swims to chase the fish.

As the one crawling at the front of the group.

It can be said that the blood relatives who follow Yuan can often see Yuan swimming in the ocean.

At first, the blood relatives did not pay any attention to this behavior.

But over time, blood relatives have the habit of actively following the blood relatives in front of them due to their own genes.

Naturally, he began to imitate Yuan’s behavior.

They jumped up awkwardly from the sea bed, imitating Yuan's example and sliding their limbs in the sea.

After a short period of learning, the first blood relatives' hind limb muscles became more developed, and at the same time, their hind limb structure also began to evolve towards Yuan's appearance.

Although it was weak, Yuan Chang could see it.

So after making this discovery, Yuan stopped eating such blood relatives.

He wanted to see how far these blood relatives could evolve.
