Liu Chang didn't notice at first that the air was being distorted by the transpiration of the lake water, because the lake was emitting white steam like that of ordinary hot springs, especially when it was freezing outside, the white mist transpired very violently. Standing next to it is like standing in a bathhouse. No matter how meticulous the observation skills are, without prior knowledge, they will not be able to see those slight air distortions in the white steam.
"This thing is indeed not water, but it is not magma either." Seeing the magic of the lake, Liu Chang picked up a branch of a tree by the lake, and then slowly put it in the water.
When it was pulled out again—the branch had become a carbon rod—it was completely charred.
"It's amazing!" Liu Chang looked at the lake water, "I don't know what the specific substance is. It is said that many liquids will not boil when they are heated to hundreds of degrees."
"But that bird just now..." Hearing Liu Chang's words, he blew on his red claws, Tai Xieer pointed to the strange fish and bird on the flaming red tree trunk on the other side, and said, "But that guy just came out of here, didn't Burned?"
"I don't know, that's why I said it's miraculous." Liu Chang glanced at the fish and bird who had been staring at him for a while, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I can sleep here tonight, some things I think too much. I can't figure it out too much, and I can explain today's question clearly when I find the elder of the pronucleus."
"Then what should we do? The birds won't be able to eat, can't we still eat the rice?" Tai Xieer yawned as he spoke, a huge sound of wind gushed out of his mouth, like an air-raid shelter.
"Don't eat it, eat it tomorrow, let's sleep here today." Liu Chang glanced at the fiery red crystal tree again, then stretched out very tiredly, just nestled by the warm lake, lying down down.
"Sleep!" Tai Xieer looked at the steaming lake, and then left there far away.
"Why are you so far away? It's hard to find a warm place?" Liu Chang saw that Tai Xie'er had walked a hundred meters away from his sight and had no intention of lying down, so he yelled at the place where the figure left.
"You don't understand. Our underwater creatures are used to floating with the flowing water. We sleep on the shore and roll easily. I'm afraid that if I sleep soundly in the middle of the night, I will roll into the magma lake and be roasted like a grilled fish!" A thunderous voice It came from a distance, and then a violent "plop" sound came from there—he lay down.
And Liu Chang was also exhausted for a day, especially the "long" mental confusion just now, which exhausted his mental state, lying by the warm lake, he fell asleep not long after.
This sleep lasted for two days and two nights.
Since the end of the world, Liu Chang has never slept so peacefully. He is worried every day and has too many things on his mind. He always feels very light when he sleeps, especially because he is sensitive to five senses, and he can wake up even if there is a slight disturbance around him. Especially since the dead of winter, no matter where I sleep, I feel the wind leaking from all sides, so I have never slept so peacefully.
Two nights without dreams.
The body and mind are greatly relaxed.
When Liu Chang woke up again, he saw Tai Xieer's huge dragon face.
"You finally woke up!" Tai Xieer seemed to have been sitting next to Liu Chang, and when he woke up, there was movement here, "Do you know how long you slept?"
"It seems like a long time!" After Liu Chang got up, he had no concept of time, but the hunger from his stomach let him know that a long time had passed.
"Well, you're all asleep, um... According to your human calculations, you've slept for more than fifty hours!" Tai Xieer said and looked up at the sky, "It's almost dawn!"
"More than fifty hours, did you really sleep that long?" Liu Chang looked at the steaming white air by the lake, "Could it be that this thing has a sleeping effect? Why didn't you wake me up?"
"It's not that I don't want to wake you up, but I've never seen a creature that can sleep so soundly. The expression on your face at night is intoxicated, don't you know?" Tai Xieer said, showing a look of memory, "This kind of Things are very precious to me, so I don’t have the heart to destroy them.”
"You also know that our race was born in the shallow sea, and we didn't have the ability to land at the beginning, and our intelligence was lacklustre. I remember when I was very young, I spent every night in the sea with fear. When the night came , the scope of the middle sea area rises upwards, and the darkness like a bottomless pit continues to move upwards, bringing countless terrifying things that can kill people, so from the year I was born to the year when I grew up and landed, I was in fear every night I spent it. So I saw that you slept so soundly and breathed so steadily in the past two days, so I don't want to disturb you."
"After hearing the story of your ethnic group, I suddenly feel that human beings are quite happy." Liu Chang felt a little emotional after hearing what Tai Xieer said.
In the five years since the end of the world, many human beings have complained about life in their hearts without saying anything—from life to survival, and they have to challenge food and livelihood every moment. However, compared to marine creatures that cannot even sleep peacefully, or compared to most wild creatures, human beings can at least have a warm nest, and there are cities as shelters in the past.
It's just that it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I used to be superior before, and it feels like "the end of the world" if I suffer a little bit.
The last days are the last days of competition. Human beings have the superior conditions in the past. In fact, the death rate is very low among all species.
Since the end of the world, in fact, countless species have been born, accompanied by the annihilation of countless species. Although human beings have fallen from the throne, and it seems that the evolution rate is not as fast as those of the top species, it is only because after the end of the world, the evolution rate of human beings is not at the top.
Pure speed is not the top, but it is definitely above average.
Most of the evolution, or mutations, in nature are useless mutations—because human beings have a relatively stable genetic structure, there are basically no useless mutations, and the group has continued to evolve in the last few years, so the speed is definitely not enough. The evolution is very slow—in nature, those with a slow evolutionary speed have been eliminated.
But this is only an average comparison, just like the sudden emergence of human beings millions of years ago, the goddess of luck cannot favor the same species every time.
Therefore, when this "second era" comes, there will always be a particularly lucky species whose evolution rate far exceeds that of humans or other species, reaching above the average. This is also the reason why human beings continue to complain after the end of the world—"Why are humans evolving so slowly when other species have evolved?"
According to Li Qingshui, "human beings have just changed from being particularly lucky to being an average member." The huge gap caused it to seem that the evolution could not keep up with the people on the bottom of the sea.
