Chapter 680: Chapter 681 Wisdom and Knowledge
"You see, they can use tools, live in groups, and communicate with each other."
Collectors on the other side of terrestrial planets indicate the reason why they have determined this, but such a standard cannot be recognized by all collectors.
"They don't even have clothes."
"But we don't have either." Collectors on the other side of the terrestrial planet refuted.
"..."
Indeed, there is something wrong with this refutation. If you can judge whether a species is intellectual and intelligent without clothes, then the awakening of the race from nature as a whole can be achieved too easily.
After some discussion, the collectors came up with a standard to evaluate whether the species is intellectual and intelligent.
"It doesn't count that you can use tools, at least you can make tools, and there is a way to pass on knowledge. This is a qualified intelligent species, so that civilization can be formed. Do they have these?"
Wisdom represents the ability to create. In turn, only by showing the ability to create can it prove that a species has wisdom and intelligence.
Wisdom can naturally build civilization by assisting in the way of inheriting knowledge.
"I don't know. Let's observe it for a while."
...
On the surface of a terrestrial planet, in a dense forest with purple leaves, the four-legged creatures discussed by the collectors are sitting on a rock, happily polishing something.
With every movement of the fourpod creature, there will be a 'shouting' sound, which sounds so noisy that there is no other type of animal around the fourpod creature, which is scared away by the strange sound made by the fourpod creature.
Even his peers kept a certain distance from him and occasionally looked at him strangely.
"Guru Gulu..."
A similar kind walked to the side of the four-legged creature and danced to what the fourpod creature was doing, making strange screams from time to time.
"Grumbling..."
When the four-legged creature saw the behavior of the same kind, it stopped and shouted back strangely. He carefully handed the things in his hand to the same kind for him to look at.
Simple actions indicate their social sexual behavior. The same kind of people are curious about what quadruped creatures do. The previous action was to express what they want to understand, while the subsequent behavior of quadruped creatures is to satisfy their curiosity.
In the hand of the four-legged creature is a stone. To be precise, it is a polished stone. The stone has a blade, but because it is very blunt, it cannot be called a stone knife. The texture on the side of the stone can see the traces of being polished. You can also feel the temperature generated by grinding for a long time by touching it with your hand.
However, this thing is so advanced for quadruped creatures that they can't understand the role of this thing except for the polisher itself. After observing it, the same kind of interest went elsewhere, and the quadruped creature repeated the previous polishing behavior again.
Everything is calm.
"Goo!"
Suddenly, a strange cry came from the jungle, breaking the tranquility of the purple leaf forest.
A four-legged creature rushed out of the forest in panic and ran forward desperately, and then a shadow suddenly flew, and the ferocious blood basin bit the fleeing four-legged creature in one bite.
Seeing this horrible quadruped creatures had no determination to fight against it at all. As early as the snake-shaped creatures ran out, they had already fled and climbed to the tree.
"Gulu!" The four-legged creatures screamed in panic.
It is a long strip-shaped creature that looks like a python, but its mouth is like a petal, and the outer layer wrapped in the mouth of the petals is a hard cuticle, which gives people a very aggressive appearance.
The body size is very large, and the open blood basin mouth is already comparable to that of four-legged creatures.
Using the muscles of the petal mouth and the strong cuticle, the prey in the mouth are squeezed, and the sound of broken bones echoes in the forest, which is extremely permeating.
The four-legged creature, which was held to death, gradually died in a heartbreaking scream and hiss, and was finally swallowed up by snake creatures.
Squeak--!
The snake-shaped creature that ate a four-legged creature was not satisfied. It made a sharp hiss to the other four-legged creature around it, and the four-legged creature that escaped to the tree climbed to the higher end of the tree in panic.
Snake-shaped creatures began to climb up the tree, which was evolved to hunt four-legged creatures.
This behavior led to the chaos of quadruped creatures on the tree. They rushed to jump from one tree to another tree without any disorder. Without any order, a considerable number of quadruped creatures fell under the tree.
The snake-shaped creature then fell to the ground and began to kill the four-legged creatures on the ground.
Just as the snake-shaped creature was eating happily, it suddenly felt that it had been hit hard on the head, and something hit its head and fixed on its head.
Squeak--!
There was a hissing again, but this time it was because of panic.
"Guru...Guru..."
"Guru...Guru..."
The fourpods on the tree looked at everything under the tree. It turned out that a four-legged creature fell on the head of the snake-shaped creature, and then hugged it with its limbs and fixed itself.
"Gulu!"
With the shouting of the four-legged creature, the stone blade in his hand hit the snake-shaped creature's head heavily.
Because of this blow, the snake-shaped creature rolled painfully and began to hit the thick tree with its own body, abruptly breaking a tree equivalent to the waist circumference of an adult.
The four-legged creature that dared to fight back was suddenly thrown far away.
The snake-shaped creature looked at the culprit who caused it so embarrassed. Of course, it hated it to the bone. It locked the four-legged creature in front of it, and hit the four-legged creature with a heavy blow, breaking its bones and tendons.
The carefully polished stone blade fell aside, leaving only a deep mark on the tail of the snake-shaped creature, and even the wound was not created.
Seeing this, the snake-shaped creature arched its body and ejected it out, ready to give the last blow to the four-legged creature and swallowed the damn prey that dared to challenge itself into its abdomen.
Squeak--!
Hathm!
With the sound of gold and iron fighting, a creature blocked the attack of the snake-shaped creature, and two limbs held the petal mouth of the snake-shaped creature. No matter how hard the snake-shaped creature moved forward, the creature that blocked it and affected hunting showed no sign of retreating, as if it was not standing in front of it. It is a boulder that it can't shake.
Poo!
The third limb easily pierced the head of the snake-shaped creature, and the remaining limb nailed the snake-shaped creature to the ground. No matter how hard it struggled, it was useless.
"Guru Gulu..."
"Grum..."
Whether on or under the tree, the four-legged creatures were shocked by the scene in front of them and hid in a place they thought was safe to watch.
After confirming the death of the snake-shaped creature, the collector picked up the stone knife that had been carefully polished but had not been completed with his tentacles. After the single molecular blade was fully charged, he cut a sharp blade for the stone knife, and then handed it to the four-legged creature hiding behind the tree in the distance.
This quadruped creature is injured, otherwise it will run to the tree at this moment, instead of hiding somewhere under the tree.
"Go...Go...Go..."
The collector tried to prove his harmlessness with the other party's strange screaming language.
After such a stalemate for a while, the four-legged creature still hid because of fear, while the collector kept the hand-out action.
In terms of patience, four-legged creatures are not as good as collectors. After almost a day and a half, four-legged creatures first began to be tentative.
"Guru Gulu..."
This strange call is like asking the collector.
"Gulu..."
The collector responded and maintained the action of handing out the stone knife.
After another half a day, the four-legged creature approached the collector suspiciously and then took back its stone knife from the tentacles.
At the moment of recapture, the four-legged creature suddenly ran back to its hiding place.
The collector watched the quadruped creatures hide again, put down some food in place and left. left the vigilant quadruped creatures to watch and watch in the hiding place.
When the collector completely left, the four-legged creatures were driven out, and the species on the tree dared to go to the ground.
The four-legged creature who came to his senses from panic noticed the change of its precious stone knife. It waved a stone knife and cut it on a nearby tree, leaving an obvious wound.
The four-legged creature looked at the stone knife in his hand and the direction the collector left. After going back and forth several times, it made a strange cry of suspected exclamation.
"Gollum!"
Since that day, the four-legged creatures on the planet have had a strange behavior. They will build a strange object with branches and stones, and then collectively polish stones nearby.
A radio message spread out from terrestrial planets.
"There is a special creature on a planet with a complex ecosystem. This creature is initially judged to be intelligent and is still in the transition stage between barbarism and civilization. It is optimistic that they will complete the formation of civilization in hundreds of thousands of years."
