Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 56 Four Leaders
After Yuan discovered the giant crinoid, following the ocean current had come to an end.

Of course this is not the end of this ocean current.

Instead, two ocean currents converge in this place.

The cold and warm ocean currents converged, and a lush area appeared in front of Yuan.

Compared with this place, the biological prosperity of the Land Bird Islands is nothing worth mentioning.

Many kinds of creatures that have never been seen before are flying freely here.

But when Yuan Yi came here, the first thing he felt was not prosperity, but a strong sense of crisis.

The only people who can make Yuan feel in danger are other ethnic groups, and these ethnic groups all have their own leaders.

Moreover, there is not only one ethnic group in this sea area, nor is there only one ethnic group leader.

Before Yuan arrived, there were already three groups with leaders in this sea area.

When Yuan came here, the three-way leadership consciousness quickly established communication with Yuan's leadership consciousness.

"Strange leader."

"Get out of here! You have entered my tribe's activity area!"

"Another one."

Through the leadership consciousness, Yuan quickly knew what these three leaders were.

The first leader is the leader of a species called the Wanderer.

The Wanderer has a round body and four slender limbs. The ends of the limbs have arm-foot structures, and large and small suction cups are spread all over the arms, which are enough to fix the Wanderer in the turbulent waves.

As the name suggests, they often appear in places with strong sea water flow.

Just like here.

Where warm and cold ocean currents meet.

The ocean water here flows faster than elsewhere.

In some other ocean currents, the figure of the wandering insect can also be seen.

The reason why the wandering insects like to live here may be related to their living habits.

Although the body of the treadling bug looks very large, the main trunk of the adult treading bug can reach a diameter of two meters, and the four limbs can reach a length of up to 4 meters.

But in fact, the worm is a filter feeder like the crinoid.

A long tubular cavity extends from its mouth. This tubular cavity is covered with many hairs. Through these hairs, the beachworm can capture plankton in the ocean for food.

Due to their huge size, the worms eat a lot of plankton every day.

However, the structure of the body prevents the worms from moving quickly, so they can only pursue places in the ocean where the water flow is fast enough to satisfy their daily food intake.

But such a seemingly cumbersome wandering insect has become extremely ferocious after evolving.

Under the leadership of the treadling bug leader, these treading bugs grew two extra pairs of limbs on both sides of their bodies. Due to these extra limbs, the treading bugs became more stable in the ocean.

At the same time, the increase in these limbs also makes the wandering insect move faster.

To be disrespectful, the way treaders move on the seabed is very similar to crabs, but the speed of treaders can be much faster than these crabs.

I can't help it, I have long legs.

The limbs of the leader of the wandering insects are even 10 meters long.

But the only drawback is that these limbs are still a bit fragile for Yuan.

Of course, this is also because Yuan transplanted the mouth of a rock-eating turtle.The main way to attack the worms is indeed to break their limbs so that they can feast after being immobilized in the ocean.

It's just that after evolution, the wandering insects have developed a new attack method.

The head of the tubular cavity on their body, which was originally used for filtering food, became a hard cone, and the entire tubular cavity also changed from soft to an object that can be hardened by filling with blood.

The wandering bugs will aim at their prey and seize the opportunity to spray out the weapons in their mouths!
Those cones have extremely strong energy the moment they are ejected, and can even be driven directly into rocks!

At the same time, the worms also transformed the ends of their limbs into similarly sharp cones.

When walking normally, you may be able to crush a thick rock crab directly to death if you step on it.

As for the leader of the Treader, in addition to these evolutions, the leader of the Treader has even evolved two pairs of limbs for attack.

The ends of these limbs are also sharp. They are usually tucked under the abdomen like the claws of crabs, and can be taken out for stabbing when necessary.

As for the thick rock crab, he is the third leader of the group who communicates with Yuan.

This is a large crab.

Their carapace will show a gray appearance similar to rocks, and because rock crabs often like to hide in seafloor reefs and sand, the gaps on their bodies are often covered with a layer of sand, so some thick rock crabs Crabs actually have some weird marine plants growing on their bodies.

Thick rock crabs have no problem with this.

These marine plants do not invade their carapace, but are intertwined with the moss on the outermost layer of the carapace, providing the rock crab with the ability to hide, even when the rock crab cannot find food. Marine plants can also serve as a food source for rock crabs.

The leader of the thick rock crab is extremely large.

His body length is almost the same as Yuan.

But the most eye-catching thing is the pieces of seaweed swaying on the carapace of the thick rock crab leader.

What a cool hairstyle.

In addition, there was the leader of the group who clearly showed unfriendly emotions.

This is also not a fish.

They have the exact same body as the Blood Whale.

They have thick skin and wide fins, but their heads are completely different from those of blood-seeking whales.

Their heads looked more like the heads of land creatures to Yuan.

The collective name for such creatures and their names came to Yuan's mind - sea beasts, sea hounds.

That grinning look was obviously not a friendly move.

Sea hounds have a larger body than reptiles, and their bodies also grow limbs like reptiles. Although these limbs are also fins, these fins can be called flippers.

Because there are some sharp claws growing on the top of these fins.

The hunting method of sea hounds may be the same as that of blood-seeking whales, which rely on their own large mouth to crush prey.

As for the sea hound leader, his limbs are longer and already have a structure similar to that of a reptilian fish. This allows the sea hound leader not only to hunt through the big mouth, but also to hunt through these claws.

Speaking of which, it seems quite similar to Yuan.

The leader of the sea hounds is physically larger than Yuan, and there are blood relatives in the sea hound clan that are larger than the rangers.

At a rough glance, it seems that the sea hound group is the top predator in this sea area.

Judging from the intertwined living areas of the Wanderer Group and the Thick Rock Crab Group, it seems that these two groups are united to fight against the Sea Hound Group.

This situation made Yuan Yi feel deeply curious for a while.
