Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 43 Unpalatable Land Plants
Yuan crawled quietly on the bottom of the sea, opening his mouth to swallow seawater.

The pressurized structure in the mouth continuously expels seawater from the respiratory gills to provide oxygen to the Yuan's body.

After sinking to the bottom, Yuan found that his breathing seemed to be insufficient.

So he started walking continuously to let the seawater flow from the respiratory gills to provide more oxygen to the body.

In fact, it is indeed possible for fish to drown in the water. When they lose the ability to swim, float and dive, the oxygen they can obtain will be reduced. If the oxygen content in the water drops, it will be more likely. Drowned in water.

But things like reptile fish are different.

After all, their main locomotor systems are their limbs, not their fins or swim bladders.

So if you walk more, you won't drown in the water.

At this moment, Yuan's body was also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

His lungs are developing and airways from the mudfish have been incorporated into his respiratory system.

While the respiratory gills directly supply oxygen to the body, part of the oxygen is continuously transported into the lungs through those small blood vessels, and the lungs store this oxygen.

The lungs also replace the role of the swim bladder, regulating the floating or submerging of the yuan through the expansion and contraction of the lungs.

And because the blood-seeking whale's lung structure is strong enough, the blood-seeking whale can dive deeper into the seafloor, which is something ordinary fish cannot do.

Now, Yuan can do it too.

As the development of the lungs and respiratory tract gradually improves, Yuan Ye gradually regains the ability to float and dive freely. Of course, everything still needs to be slowly adapted before it can be truly perfected.

Yuan still needs some exercise.

The main thing is to adjust the amount of oxygen reserve and the control of the lungs during floating and diving.

The lungs are not as thin as a fish's swim bladder, and require more pressure to control.

However, since the genes were also transplanted during the transplantation, whether it was the lungs or the respiratory tract between the gills and the lungs, they all seemed like natural organs to Yuan.

It only takes a few days to become proficient in using it.

After that, Yuan was ready to go to the land to have a look.

But before that, Yuan still conducted some testing very cautiously.

Yuan was lying in the shallow water, where he could leave the ocean as soon as he got up.

After storing the oxygen in his lungs to the limit, Yuan stood up and walked slowly towards the beach.

During this period, Yuan constantly felt how much oxygen was left in his body, and at the same time felt whether it was convenient for him to move on land.

Without the support of sea water, Yuan's limbs had to bear even more weight.

Yuan felt a little strenuous about walking on land.

"I should evolve my limbs again."

Yuan took the lead in determining what he needed to do to return to the ocean.

He was walking too slowly.

Not even a quarter of the speed in the ocean.

His movement speed on land is even slower than that of a nascent reptile fish in the ocean.

Yuan felt that this was not conducive to his survival on land.

There are creatures on land. If you can't even run, you will only be eaten by those land creatures.

Yuan Ke doesn’t want to encounter such a situation.

At this time, Yuan Huan was still walking on the beach.

Yuan was not far from the ocean, or rather he was walking on the beach beside the sea. Occasionally, waves would wash the sea water to his feet.

In this way, Yuan carefully felt the consumption of oxygen in his lungs.

Finally, Yuan returned to the ocean before the feeling of suffocation occurred.

"I need to evolve my limbs and lungs so that I can move faster on land and store more oxygen."

After Yuan returned to the ocean, he immediately started his plan.

Simply evolving the limbs will not prevent Yuan's limbs from shrinking and ending up in a state of missing arms and legs.

Therefore, Yuan himself eats very quickly.The lungs and gills, lungs, and respiratory tracts were recently transplanted, and they evolved to slow down the excess nutrients that Yuan received from eating to a certain extent.

Metaevolution is fast.

Within three or four days, Yuan completed his plan to evolve lungs and limbs, and then headed towards land again.

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

The water washes on the beach.

After a burst of foam, a figure emerged from the receding tide.

Yuan stepped on the soft sand and moved towards the land step by step.

The evolved limbs have enough strength to support Qi Yuan's body.

The eight-meter-long monster climbed up from the ocean, and then moved freely on this land.

In addition to being unable to run too fast, Yuan adapted to land quite quickly.

Soon Yuan is on a solo journey deep into the land.

There is no way, apart from him, no blood relative in Yuan's tribe can leave the ocean for a long time.

The ground started to become solid from its original softness.

Yuan tugged at the land curiously. This behavior was not similar to the seabed in the ocean.

The solid ground seemed to be nothing more than dirt, with only a few rocks visible.

In the ocean, if the seabed appears solid, there is probably solid rock underneath.

"There are a lot of differences between land and sea."

Yuan thought, then looked up and saw the towering plants in front of him.

Although there are such tall plants in the ocean, most of these plants are quite soft and nothing like the sturdy plants on land.

Out of curiosity, Yuan walked towards the forest.

forest?

Yuan looked at the green that spread all over his field of vision, which seemed to be called a forest.

Yuan got closer step by step, and then discovered that the plants on land and the plants in the ocean also had similar existences.

Out of curiosity, Yuan Tan took a bite.

After chewing twice, Yuan opened his mouth and threw the land plant out.

unpalatable.

Then Yuan turned his attention to the tall plants and opened his mouth to nibble off a piece.

He didn't chew twice and spit it out again.

Even worse.

The bitter taste was stronger than the plant I had eaten before.

This rather unpalatable thing seems to be called a tree.

However, Yuan looked at the tree after the outer skin fell off, revealing the light yellow inner core. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth again and bit off a piece of the light yellow inner core.

As Yuan chews, a faint sweetness emanates from it.

Yuan thought about it for a moment. The outer bark of the tree was unpalatable, but the inner core of the tree tasted okay.

After swallowing the core of the tree, Yuan walked towards the interior of the forest again.

The forest was quite quiet, except for the sound of Yuan stepping on fallen leaves.

By the way, Yuan also secretly tasted the fallen leaves.

Unpalatable.

Land plants aren't much tasty.
