Chapter 118

"Did you spit out indigestible things from your stomach and intestines? In other words, those big insects probably don't have a special excretory outlet... "

Alan whispered to himself as he put on his gas mask and gloves, carefully took some with tweezers and put them in the test tube for sealing.

As a person with biological knowledge, he knows that these excrement like feces are likely to preserve the unique bacterial groups in giant worms, which will help researchers deeply understand this creature and even infer its original environment.

If it is really a species from the dark continent, you can also take this opportunity to understand the ecological situation of the dark continent, especially microorganisms.

However, just after completing the sampling, Allen suddenly felt the ground shaking under his feet, followed by a red giant worm slowly drilling in from the nearby tunnel, opening a large annular mouth full of sharp teeth, and constantly spitting coffee colored viscous liquid and bone hair mixture of different sizes on the ground.

Due to the close distance, he can clearly see that the worm has no eyes at all. It completely relies on the dense fluff on the surface of red skin to sense the surrounding vibration. Even if it is irradiated by the light source of flashlight, it will not produce any response.

[gregarious]

A year like this flashed into Allen's mind.

There is no doubt that this is not the one I met by the sea before, because there is no reading line connected to it.

In order to find out the situation, he and Rubeus soon entered an absolute state, carefully bypassing the behemoth and slowly exploring along the tunnel behind.

After a while, I found a shocking picture in another cave.

It was a large concave pit filled with millions of red worm larvae, each only the thickness of a finger.

Unlike adult giant worms, they are so fragile that they can be crushed with a gentle force.

What's more terrible is that the place where these larvae are located is not a simple pit, but in an organ like the intestines of some giant beast, and some other adult insects around are vomiting primary digested food into the intestines.

When you get food, those red intestinal walls begin to wriggle violently, make a gurgling sound, and secrete some white mucus.

When the larvae touch the white mucus, they rush up madly and grab the mucus madly. Among them, the bodies of several guys who eat more expand rapidly like balloons, and grow to about one meter in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, Allen's face finally became dignified.

He finally realized that the giant worms that dominated the island were actually parasites in a larger organism, which was the island under his feet!

you 're right!

This island is alive!

At least judging from the digestive organs like the intestines, it is still alive.

As for whether he fell into a deep sleep or was seriously injured and cultivating, it is unknown.

No hesitation!

Allen directly took out his camera to take a picture of this scene, followed by the release of "beast knowledge" to check the details of these insects. Finally, with his reading ability, he caught several larvae, sealed them in a jar and quickly returned the same way.

When he got back to the ground, Baudelaire came up first and asked, "how's it going? What did you find?"

"Trust me, you'll have nightmares at night. We must now return to the hunter Association and report the situation here. " Allen responded in a serious tone.

Now he finally understood the meaning of Kim fulis's sentence "it's just a coincidence that mankind hasn't perished yet".

Compared with the horror of the dark continent, the human environment is like a Petri dish specially placed in a relatively safe place. Once it is invaded by species on the other side of Mobius lake, it will be in danger of extinction in an instant.

Moreover, the real role of the "gatekeeper" is not to prevent mankind from exploring the dark continent, but to protect the human world from extinction.

The so-called proven "five catastrophes" are just the tip of the iceberg of dangerous creatures in the dark continent.

In this way, the people went back day and night with the collected data and evidence.

Finally, in early November, I came to the hunter association again.

When Allen handed in all the photos, specimens and records, it immediately caused a sensation like a magnitude-12 earthquake. Even V5 immediately sent commissioners to investigate.

In particular, the live larvae brought back from the center of the island are directly sent to a fully enclosed Laboratory for cultivation, observation and anatomy.

About half a month later, an old man of about 60 came to Allen and said in a very serious tone, "young man, thank you for finding a potential great threat for us. After research, we agreed that the threat level of the living island should be raised to a and closely monitored. In return, you can make an additional request in addition to the normal remuneration. "

"Is the living island a species from the dark continent?" Ellen tempted with interest.

"Not sure yet! But according to biologists' judgment, it is very likely. Because there are at least dozens of bacteria and viruses in those worms and their frontal excreta that have never been found in the human world, including many dangerous and lethal species. "

The old man didn't hide anything and spoke out his current conclusion.

Because he knew who the boy was and the result of the duel not long ago.

Not surprisingly, it is likely to replace Nicolas nitro and become the new president of the leading Hunter Association in the near future.

As a representative of V5, he believes that we should maintain a good relationship with it, especially in protecting the world from the threat of species from the dark continent. Otherwise, God knows when the human world will suddenly be destroyed overnight.

"If you don't mind, can you give me a report on those bacteria and viruses? I have a hunch that they may come in handy soon. "

After learning that unique bacteria and viruses were indeed found in the worm, Allen chose to ask for them for the first time.

This is very important for exploring the dark continent in the future!

Compared with the threats that can be seen by the naked eye, such as unidentified weapons - gold and silver ingots, gas life - Egypt, double tailed snakes - Hell bells, and educating animals - PAP, he thinks that microorganisms that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye are the most dangerous things.

The old man nodded without thinking: "no problem! We share all these information with the hunter Association. You can go directly to Qi duoyao of the twelve. She has a backup in her hand. Now, you can say your wish. As long as it's not too much, I can immediately make a commitment on behalf of V5. "

"So... Can I directly set my personal data to permanent confidentiality?"

Allen hesitated for a moment and quickly made a request that he thought was very reasonable.

This is inspired by Kim fulis's approach.

Because of this practice of cutting off the source of intelligence from the source, people with a little brain will understand how much energy is hidden behind it, which can effectively scare off those who want to make small moves with bad intentions.

"Oh, of course. In addition, we look forward to your active performance in the future. Goodbye, young man. "

After that, the old man waved and took several bodyguards and assistants aboard the airship. After a while, he disappeared at the end of the sky.
