The mist only has some simple consciousness at the moment. It wants to move. For some reason, it always feels that it is not safe here.
However, the speed of movement did not satisfy him. It looked at the pile of sand that the mice had turned into, and the feeling of running instantly came to its heart.
The black shadow began to solidify and condense, and then extended into four thin limbs, like the four legs of a mouse. It's just that the extended legs are crooked, with no visible joints and no asymmetry at all. Such legs are naturally not as fast and flexible as mice, but they are still much faster than before. Kaitian's current state is not enough to develop a sufficiently efficient movement structure. The mice only have instincts in their memory and have no idea what the internal structure of their bodies is.
With the initial movement mechanism, it climbed towards the top of the hillside. Although the speed was not very fast, it was successful in that it continued and did not feel tired at all. It climbed like this for a full hour before finally reaching the middle of the hillside.
At this time, the earth suddenly shook slightly, and a white line appeared in the distance. Then a mountain torrent surged in, mixed with huge rocks, and rushed across the valley bottom in an instant! If Kaitian was still at the bottom, he would be swept away immediately. Fortunately, Kaitian evolved four legs, and just like that, the waterline of the flash flood was lowered by a few meters.
In the mountain torrent, several big fish jumped up from time to time, all of them were extremely fierce, and they stared at Kaitian when they came out of the water. However, the flash flood was very fast and violent. When they jumped up again after entering the water, they were already dozens of meters away.
Kaitian clearly felt the malice in the flood and accelerated up the hillside. For the sake of speed, its legs became longer and longer, sacrificing stability and balance in exchange for the ultimate increase in speed. I kept climbing like this for almost an hour, and finally we were approaching the top of the slope. At this time, the floods in the valley also tended to calm down, and the original valley turned into a mighty river, with the water level slowly rising.
Under the calm water, there were several huge black shadows wandering back and forth.
Kaitian felt a strong crisis in a hazy state, so he continued climbing, and finally reached the top of the slope, where he could take a rest.
It had to rest, all the cells were sending out strong hunger signals, and the energy obtained from the mouse had been exhausted by the high-intensity exercise for more than an hour, leaving almost nothing left. One of its eyes has disappeared, and the cells that make up the eye have gone dormant due to lack of energy. The other eye was also dim, with less than 10% of its light-sensitive ability remaining.
It has to continue to replenish energy.
At this time, an insect not far away caught Kaitian's attention. It was an insect similar to a locust. If there were entomologists here, they would definitely classify it as a new species, but Kaitian did not have any From the knowledge of entomology, it only knows two things now: one: it cannot catch up with the insect; two: the insect is chewing on the grass leaves.
That action carries a strong concept of eating, which triggers Kaitian's instinct. Its attention immediately fell on the green grass on the ground. Its body sank and wrapped around a small grass. Countless small holes appeared on the grass blades like weathering, and then gradually disappeared, while Kaitian's body was filled with a layer of green, which gradually spread to the whole body.
Kaitian stood still, waiting for the greenery in his body to slowly fade away, and the entire grass became its nutrients. After digestion was completed, Kaitian moved and wrapped another grass, leaving a dark gray floating ash in place. This was the undigested part of the grass just now. Soon the second grass was also digested. But this time Kaitian did not immediately pounce on the next blade of grass, but stopped to think.
Its intelligence is very low at the moment, but it still has instincts. Digesting grass consumes a lot of energy, and the nutrition of grass itself is quite low, not much is left after entering and exiting. Kaitian's energy reserve has only increased a little.
Kaitian decided to evolve a specialized digestive organ. After a while, a small pocket appeared inside its body. This time, the grass blades were cut into pieces and put directly into the new digestive bag. Soon Kaitian had cleared a small patch of grass, and the digestive bag in his body was almost occupied. to half of the entire body.
Kaitian quickly discovered the benefits of the digestive system, which can continue to function for the body without hindering continued movement and hunting. Although his movement speed slowed down greatly after he was full, Kaitian vaguely felt that the energy absorbed was significantly greater than the energy consumed. Looking at the green grass, shrubs and trees all over the mountains and plains, Kaitian suddenly felt happy that he had no worries about food and clothing. In the distance, a snow-white rabbit was gnawing grass leisurely.
Seeing the grass blades being chopped up easily, Kaitian felt that he needed a pair of big teeth. Looking at the round body of the rabbit, Kaitian suddenly felt that it would be good to be a herbivore.
Just when my heart was beating, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes in the distance, jumped on the rabbit like lightning, and bit it to death! This is a small dog-like creature that moves like electricity. It looked around alertly, then rushed into the woods to enjoy its food.
Kaitian, who witnessed the whole process from the side, suddenly felt that herbivores were not so beautiful, and the green grass on the ground did not look so delicious.
Kaitian thought hard with his limited thinking ability and found that a pair of canine teeth seemed to have a greater role than the incisors. In addition to this, it seems that something else is needed, such as...speed.
Just as he was thinking about this, a shadow suddenly passed over Kaitian's head. A flying bird fell from the sky, took Kaitian's digestive bag in its mouth, and swallowed it into its belly. The black mist around the digestive bag did not go in for a while, lingering around the bird's head, and finally got in through the nostrils.
The bird flew over the hills and rivers, and suddenly fell to the ground. When it hit the ground, it was like a stiff stone, stuck diagonally into the soil and never moved again.
After a while, it was like a weathered stone, broken into pieces, and wisps of black mist floated from the cracks in the stone, gathering into the open sky. At this time, the volume of Kaitian was several times larger and more solid. It sat on the ground and observed its surroundings. It was not in a hurry to leave, but began to think.
Its thinking speed is now greatly accelerated, and it does not take long to absorb the memory of this bird. And it also has its own memory, remembering that before being eaten by this bird, it was planning to evolve into a carnivore, and the core of carnivore hunting is speed.
speed?
From what this bird remembers, speed is definitely its strong point. At the heart of its speed are its wings. So Kaitian had the concept of flying.
When thinking about flying, Kaitian suddenly felt that he seemed to have some strange memories. These memories are related to speed, but not wings, but seeming to have an advantage over wings. At the core of these memories, jetting.
