Chapter 376 Free Metamorphosis, Special Leaf Medicinal Herb

"Found it!"

Yan Xia quickly found what he wanted, which was a creature.

It looked like a pure black leech, and even had some scales on its body surface. Its mouthparts were mosquito-like stingers with barbs on them.

After it pierced its mouth into the body of its prey, another auxiliary tube would inject venom into the body of its prey to melt the prey's internal organs and muscles and then suck them up. This way of eating was a bit like a spider.

Yan Xia took it in his hand. It was about the length of a palm. They can grow to 23~28cm. Their bodies are slender and can shrink to a certain extent. The maximum limit is to shrink to two-thirds of their original length.

This creature is called Kappa amoeba!

Amoeba has only one family and one genus. Its biological label is green, not blue.

Green and blue labels are a kind of reminder. Green labels are creatures evolved in nature, while blue labels are artificial products in the laboratory.

Generally speaking, in textbooks, green and blue labels will be integrated into the name of the species. For example, if a title says "Kappa amoeba", it will be green.

"What is this?"

Si Luodeyi asked.

She thought the creature looked a bit disgusting.

In fact, the reason why she chose plants was because she felt that some animals looked too strange.

"It is the only free metamorphosis in nature." Yan Xia took out a needle and stabbed it into its body, and then saw that the Kappa amoeba began to soften, as if it was dead.

But after a while, its body began to wriggle, and a crack appeared on its back, revealing some metallic purple texture from the crack. Then its skin began to be turned over, revealing the crystal-like jelly flesh inside. After its entire body was separated from the external scales, it became a crystal-clear small creature with limbs.

It is hard to describe its appearance. It is plump and covered with a thin layer of wings on its back. It seems that it cannot fly. It should be a remnant that has not yet degenerated. It looks like a headless pig with a layer of transparent cicada wings on its back. There is a blue insect-like eye in front of its body, like a sapphire, and its whole body is a colorful dream color.

"So cute!" Si Luodeyi was extremely surprised.

It is difficult to connect this jelly-like creature in front of him with the disgusting appearance before.

"The state just now was its predator form, and this state now is the sleeping form, or the seducer form."

"Kappa amoeba uses this completely metamorphosed method to lure some prey, and at this time its companions will start hunting."

"It is a social creature with true sociality similar to ants."

Yan Xia said the fact that it is a social animal, and Si Luodeyi noticed that there were densely packed Kappa amoeba around him. There were tens of thousands of them. Their black bodies merged with the stone when they were not moving, which was really hard to find.

"Among the Kappa amoeba, only the queen will not metamorphose, while the rest can complete the metamorphosis, and the reason why it is called free metamorphosis is that they can also change from this state back to the previous state."

This is a magical species, and Yan Xia wants to do some research on it.

In the hunting state, these creatures eat meat, and in the current state of attractors, they will suck the sap of the blue mushroom tree. In fact, they have been in this state since birth, feeding on the sap of the blue mushroom tree and growing up, and then metamorphosing.

Some scholars in the Federation believe that the sleeping state is the first state of the Kappa amoeba, its original appearance.

Yan Xia will study this creature and do some experiments, so he plans to come here to collect some.

The Federation actually has a gene bank, and these creatures can be directly created in the laboratory according to the gene bank.

However, the creations in the wild and the laboratory are often different, whether in genes or habits.

Yan Xia captured one, and the other Kappa amoeba around him were alert to his intruder and hissed a warning. Yan Xia left them and continued to look for new things.

"There are only 28 blue mushroom bushes in the Federation. You'd better cherish your time here. There are many unique species here." Yan Xia reminded Si Luodeyi.

"Okay!"

Si Luodeyi quickly turned her eyes away from Yan Xia's actions and looked around for plants she knew and didn't know.

She saw a half-eaten plant. She saw that the bite marks on it were very sharp, which seemed to be a carnivore.

How could a carnivore eat this plant?

She used her sub-brain to compare and search for it before she suddenly realized that this was the special leaf medicine grass.

Special leaf medicine grass is a relatively rare grass. Its growth conditions are very harsh, and because the whole plant is too small, it is in the lower layer of the natural ecological niche and is easily trampled to death by passing animals.

It has the word "特叶" in its name. This is not a person's name, but its leaves are very special, like a rugby ball, with a solid inside, and it has only one leaf, as if all the essence has been injected into this leaf.

When it blooms, a bud will grow at the position of the petiole, grow and then wither.

It is called healing grass because it can really cure many diseases. Humans in the Federation have quark robots, but animals in the Federation do not, so usually animals in the Federation will look for this grass after being injured, if there is any nearby.

Its medicinal effect is very strong and can treat many kinds of internal and external injuries. It can be said to be a miracle drug.

Of course, it is a laboratory product with such medicinal effects, and many medical-related substances are injected into it.

These substances have achieved a balance in its body, making it have extremely good therapeutic effects in all aspects.

Si Luodeyi happily dug it out with his hands. The flowers of the special leaf medicinal grass have ornamental value, which makes it quite popular in the market.

It’s just that it is not a special ornamental flower, and the circle is relatively small. If you use its genes to cultivate a plant, the cost is too expensive, so Si Luodeyi generally can’t touch it.

Special leaf medicinal grass will die if it is dug up like this, but after that, you just need to buy some nutrient solution to plant it in and it will recover quickly. The federal technology can do this easily.

However, Yan Xia on the other side encountered another creature.

Ice tree spirit.

This is a little elf flying in the air with a dandelion-like body.

They are animals, and they have high intelligence. Federation scholars generally believe that they can become intelligent creatures in 3 to 4 million years under natural conditions. The Federation can help them complete this process in advance, but it is not necessary.

The Federation can even turn a tree into an intelligent creature, but no one does this because what the Federation needs is not intelligent creatures, but civilization.

These little guys are taking Yan Xia to visit at this time, and Yan Xia follows them into a secret place in this forest.
