The headworm seemed to have received a thought known as' inspiration '. It used a small stone to draw countless marks on the ground of the cave.
In her mind, Lin realized that this was called 'drawing' and not 'drawing'.
Although the pictures were very simple, Lin could see that the brain worm was very excited. It kept drawing all kinds of pictures on the ground and the walls of the cave. There were animals, plants, and even itself, as well as scenes of rocks and so on.
It was unbelievable that it could draw all these things with its meatball-like body.
The headworm took a long time to draw, almost covering the entire ground of the cave. Lin noticed that it had drawn a circle around each different drawing, one after another, as if it was describing several things that happened in succession.
After the headworm finished drawing, it called out to Lin's Observation Eye. It seemed to have gained a new understanding. Lin's tribe didn't have a 'leader', but rather each of them represented 'Lin'.
In fact, it had noticed this phenomenon a long time ago. Lin's troopers would not communicate with each other. At first, it was only suspicious, but when it saw Lin creating Bechymos and planting the forest, it began to confirm its suspicions.
Now, it would try to communicate with any of Lin's troops, not the Leviathan.
At this time, the headworm was communicating with the eyeball tentacles in the cave, asking Lin to look at the drawings it had drawn.
The headworm rolled to the first drawing it drew, using its excitement to show Lin the order to look at it. In fact, it didn't need to point it out. Lin also remembered the order it drew.
This drawing was very interesting …
In the first drawing, the headworm drew its own appearance. Around it were many arthropods that Lin had never seen before. These arthropods were divided into two segments with six limbs. Their front half stood upright with four limbs, while the front two limbs were raised in front of them and turned into blades.
These arthropods surrounded the headworm. What did this mean? Was it their leader? Was this its tribe?
Then, the headworm rolled to the second drawing, showing the scene of the arthropods fighting. They seemed to be hunting, cutting up some small plants, and piling the food in front of a large creature with a huge abdomen. Moreover, the headworm had drawn many small circles behind it, and these small circles were split open, and the little bugs were crawling out from them.
What was that? Eggs?
'So that's how it is.' Lin suddenly understood. Just like how the Cephalopods were responsible for being the 'brains' of the group, this creature with a huge abdomen was responsible for production.
The way they evolved. Indeed, it was very similar to a single cell. This was how cells evolved. Slowly, they began to divide up and cooperate. Some species were responsible for some tasks. Finally, under constant evolution, they formed a rich multicellular organism.
Organisms that evolved into multicellular organisms possessed a large number of abilities that unicellular organisms did not possess. Freed from the constraints of a single cell. But. What would happen if a multicellular organism evolved along this path? If they worked together, would they eventually combine together like single cells? What kind of creature would they become after combining? This was truly hard to imagine …
However, no matter what, this was a very powerful evolutionary path. Take the Cephalopod for example. It did not need to grow a lot of muscles and organs like other creatures to deal with various situations. Because other creatures of the same species had evolved muscles and strength to hunt and do various things for it, it could think full-time. That was why it evolved a huge brain and was much smarter than other creatures.
Then, it could share its wisdom with its less intelligent kin. This kind of 'split up' creature was much more powerful than the average creature that lived alone or in groups. Not only were they divided into males and females, but they also had more detailed and complex classifications. The unicellular organisms seemed to have understood this, which was why they were able to stand out from the other unicellular organisms.
However, Lin still did not understand what kind of creature she was. She had long understood that she was very different from the creatures she usually saw. Why?
She did not know how long it would take to get an answer to this question …
Lin's current evolutionary path was different from other creatures. It was mainly based on combining to form stronger objects. Most of the creatures Lin had seen were basically for the purpose of reproduction.
The Cephalopod rolled to the third painting. This painting was also a scene of a battle. However, this time, it was not a hunt, but a war. The Cephalopod drew the nest where its colony was located. It appeared to be a rocky cave, and within the cave, there were arthropods fighting everywhere.
The Cephalopod colony was on the defensive side, while the ones attacking were the creatures Lin had recently become familiar with … the Aztec worms.
Could it be that they had once fought a war? Was that why the Cephalopod knew about the Aztec worms?
The Cephalopod rolled to the fourth painting. According to the painting, almost all of the Aztec worms had died in battle and were escaping. A portion of the Cephalopod colony had also died, but they had won.
In the fifth painting, the Cephalopod had drawn the backs of the fleeing Aztec worms. The huge sand dunes and the spheres in the sky indicated that they had escaped into the desert.
So that was the reason why the Aztec worms lived in the desert? But where did the Cephalopod colony live? It might be in the Twisted Jungle.
In the sixth painting, the Cephalopod had drawn a huge crack. This crack directly divided the painting into two parts. The colony of Cephalopods was torn apart by the crack. Many of them were crushed by rocks or wood, while the Cephalopod itself fell into the center of the crack.
What did this mean? The ground cracked? Destroying the colony of Cephalopods? Then the Cephalopod fell into the crack?
In the seventh painting, the Cephalopod had drawn itself in a jungle environment. In front of it, there was a huge lizard with many small insects on its body.
Those were the Qibucha worms …
In the eighth painting, the Cephalopod had drawn the crystallized nest of the Qibucha worms. It was located at the center of the nest.
In the ninth painting, the Cephalopod saw the appearance of Lin's troops.
So many interesting things had happened to the Cephalopod?
In the tenth painting, which was also the last one, the Cephalopod had drawn a huge object. This object was like a huge pillar that covered the entire painting. From its appearance, one could not tell what it was. The Cephalopod had also drawn many creatures on this huge pillar. At the top, it had drawn a large pile of leaf-like structures.
