Chapter 1182
A new thinking center gradually took shape.
After possessing two thinking centers, it began to have the energy to consider how to improve the mutant crab it possessed.
From the deepest part of the pupil, a series of data slowly emerged.
The eyes instantly read countless plans for improving aquatic life. The smallest improvement only required it to prey on a small fish, while the largest improvement required it to eat a dozen giant whales!
However, with the energy currently stored in the eyes, it can only interpret a very small part of the information contained in this data.
Now, two thinking centers can double the speed of the process of changing the body.
Soon, the mutant crab's shell was covered with cracks and began to fall off.
When most of the carapace falls off, the exposed tissue inside makes it look like a fish with a somewhat strange shape.
The remaining parts of the carapace turned into bone spurs, extending in all directions, and each bone spur had a tiny hole at the tip, which could inject deadly toxins into the enemy's body.
The mutated crab, no, it should be called a mutated swordfish now, slowly emerged from the bottom of the sea. With a slight swing of its streamlined tail, it broke through the sea water and swam away rapidly.
Just before its energy reserves were nearly depleted, it finally found its next prey. It had calculated that, under the current circumstances, it had a 99% chance of finding new prey before its energy reserves were depleted. However, the fact that it found prey just as its energy reserves were depleted at 99% demonstrated its exceptionally bad luck.
The new food is a giant bottom-dwelling mussel, but with a powerful water jet that allows it to move across the seafloor at the speed of a fish.
Its trunk-like mouth can suck prey out from the tiniest cracks in the rocks. This is a very ferocious carnivore, but it has encountered an eye.
Before it could react, a bone spur broke through the water and firmly nailed into its mouthparts. The elephant's trunk mouthparts, which could crush the rock sheets on the seabed, were as fragile as a piece of thin paper at this moment.
A few seconds later, it lost all ability to move under the effects of the poison, allowing the strange creature with eyes attached to it to drill into the half-open clam shell.
Faced with a giant clam that was dozens of times larger than itself, the eyes took a full hour to eat and another two hours to complete the changes in their body structure.
This time it became spindle-shaped, with several rows of small holes at the front and back ends of the body.
As a violent stream of water spurted out of the small hole at the back end of its body, it drew an arc in the water with extraordinary agility, turned upward, and shot out as fast as an arrow!
It finally escaped from the barren deep seabed.
Even on the seabed where there is no life or even no organic matter, eyes can still grow, evolve, and break away.
But that evolutionary path would have led to a completely different life form, but current eyes are unaware of another option.
Depending on the seabed conditions, it uses data to select an adaptive and relatively fast solution.
The closer to the sea surface, the denser the life, and the more replenishment it can get.
Soon, sufficient nutrition allowed it to rebuild a digestive system. This system has a special body structure that can withstand temperatures of nearly a thousand degrees. Food is digested here almost by burning.
While energy utilization efficiency is greatly improved, the time required for complete digestion is shortened to a few minutes.
"I must learn to think." When it rushed from the bottom of the deep sea to the surface of the sea relying on its two thinking centers, it began to have a strong urge and felt the need to greatly strengthen its thinking ability.
However, this does not conform to the optimal survival order.
This conflict made the eyes feel confused for the first time. Fortunately, the food source in the area where they are currently located is rich enough. Strengthening the thinking ability first will not delay the evolution process too long and is still within an acceptable range.
