An irregular rock shakes and suddenly tumbles inward, rolling down the ramp into the darkness, making a few bursts. There was a light golden light behind the rock, which was pushed down, and the whole person fell down. He didn't panic. He inspired the new ability of konghou. An invisible force field enveloped his whole body. Under the action of anti gravity field, konghou fell and stood still, floating in the air.
Just now he had a good look outside, and finally found the gap. It's already in the hinterland of the mountain, but there's wind blowing from below. It seems that the hinterland of the mountain goes straight to the ground. When you enter the space at the bottom of the mountain, you obviously feel that the air is much wetter than the outside, and the temperature is also more than a thousand. After staying for a while, you can see that there are blue luminous mosses growing on the rocks in the mountainside. These fungi make the mountainside look bright a little. Even if the faint blue light they emit is not enough to light up the whole mountainside, you can still have a panoramic view of the whole mountainside through the low light vision.
He is now in a slope. The slope leads to the bottom of the mountain, and the end is hidden in the dark. He can't see what the deep place is like. I don't know whether this slope is natural or man-made, but it's better to have a way to go than to be trapped in the same place. Fall back to the ramp and stride down the slope. The underground of the eternal mountain range is a huge underground space, with stalagmites as thick as pillars, closely connecting the underground and the mountain above. The stone pillars are covered with luminous moss, so from a distance, these stone pillars are like inverted star waterfalls, with blue light and quiet, showing incomparably magnificent.
The height of the slope is nearly 100 meters. It took more than half an hour to get to the bottom. There is a moss lichen growing under the ground, and there are many strange rocks, and several rivers meandering across the ground. At the end is a high ground, which arches from the ground like a hill. Behind the hill, there is the cliff, but there is a black hole in the cliff, which seems to lead to other places.
Zero just want to go to the hole to explore, then hear a strange cry in the ground other places ring up. He quickly shrank behind a huge stone and looked out. Then he saw a mutant rat as big as a dog emerging from the darkness. These giant goons seem to be different from the common wild giant rats in the central continent. Because they live underground, their eyes have basically degenerated, and their bodies are covered with hard hair like hedgehog.
These underground giant rats are eating the moss on the ground and drawing water from several underground rivers. However, zero noticed that not all of the rats were eating or drinking water, and some of them were scattered around. Neither eat moss nor drink water, like a guard warning something.
Are there any natural enemies here? As soon as zero came up with this idea, there came the sound of "rustling" crawling from the highland. When they heard these sounds, the alert rats opened their mouths and let out a sharp howl. As soon as they gave warning, a row of strange insects got up from the other side of the highland. These insects have small heads and big bodies. They have Mantis like heads and four or five compound eyes on their heads. Each compound eye twinkles with different light, and the body is an oval abdominal cavity like a spider, with a row of bristly insect limbs on both sides.
These strange insects are covered with black shells, and the surface of the shells is also covered with purple lines. Under the blue light of the luminous moss, the shell of the insect flows a beam of metal light from time to time. It is obvious that the quality of these hard shells is better than that of metal.
Strange insects, like a black tide, came down from the other side of the highland. Although there are only a dozen of them, and the number of giant rats is more than ten times that of them, giant rats are very afraid of this strange insect. They scream and flee, but the monsters disperse. There are four or five of them skimming at high speed, and sometimes they even bounce up. A row of air is ejected from both sides of their abdominal cavity to push them to their destination faster.
These strange insects are obviously natural hunters. They have a high IQ and know how to hunt rats. From the underground situation, it is obviously wrong for Rome to think that there are no dangerous mutants in the western continent. As far as zero is concerned, this kind of strange insects will become a terrible force once they form a number advantage on the ground.
Looking at the hunting in the distance, a few strange insects swam around and drove the rats together. The group of rats shrank into a circle, surrounded by the strongest giant rats as guards. They howl menacingly at the bug, but the bug is obviously unmoved, and their eyes are constantly flashing different colors of light. Zero noticed that these lights are regular, which is obviously a way of communication.
They are not in a hurry to attack, but constantly shrink the encirclement, thus forming a huge pressure, constantly impacting the rat population. The rats began to lose control, and finally a very strong giant rat rushed out. The giant mouse sprinted quickly for a short distance, and jumped on a strange insect in the blink of an eye. Then he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and gnawed at the insect. However, it was like biting a piece of refined iron. Between the sharp teeth and the shell of the insect, there was a sharp sound of friction.
The attacked monster immediately swung its body and immediately swung away the giant rat. When the giant rat was in mid air, the abdomen behind the monster suddenly opened, and a dark shadow popped up from it. In an instant, the giant rat was killed.The giant mouse immediately uttered a shrill cry, which was like a tentacle. However, the kinetic energy of the instant ejection is comparable to that of the bullet, making the front end of the tentacle easily pass through the body of the giant rat. Exposed to the air, the front end of the tentacle actually split a cross, bumping out a mouthpiece full of broken teeth. It looks disgusting.
From the mouthpiece, he made a "hissing" call, rolled back his tentacles, and returned to the abdominal cavity with the giant rat still struggling desperately. The abdominal cavity immediately closed, followed by a sound of chewing, and the cry of the giant mouse soon disappeared, as if it had been eaten by a strange insect.
It's the first time that zero has seen a strange creature eating its prey in its abdominal cavity. Now this strange insect completely subverts the cognition of terrestrial creatures, and is somewhat similar to some marine creatures.
See companion is eaten, giant rats launched a crazy attack, but their attack is futile. The abdomen of the strange insects split one by one, and more than ten terrible tentacles flew out of it. The insects surrounded the rats, raised their tentacles, and waved and danced to the rats. From time to time, giant rats let their tentacles hit, and there was a sound of meat cracking and bone breaking. When they fell to the ground, they were often unable to move, so the tentacles of the insects were easily rolled up and sent to the abdomen.
Strange insect's abdominal cavity simply does not close, so open to fall inside the giant rat chew up. Suddenly, there was a lot of blood mist on the abdominal cavity. From time to time, giant rats struggled to climb out of the abdominal cavity which was the same as hell, but they were all pulled back by the strange insects with their tentacles.
The killing of insects is simple and efficient. On the other hand, giant rats, although some of them are brave enough to bite the head of strange insects, do not prevent the strange insects from killing their other companions. It's strange to say that the head is one of the weaknesses of creatures, and the head of a strange insect is obviously not harder than its body. As soon as it was bitten by the giant rat, it split open and the worm was bleeding. But even if the giant rat gnaws off one of its compound eyes, or even tears off half of its head, the insect remains unmoved and continues to hunt other giant rats.
The battle lasted only half an hour or so, and more than half of the giant rats fell into the stomach of the strange insects. In the end, when the insects are full, they no longer form an encirclement. They disperse. The rest of the rats ran away immediately and walked clean in a moment. Those strange insects eat full directly to the ground, like in the rest. But then they did something unexpected.
Strange insects try hard to roll the body, straight round rolling body turned back to stop. But at this time, there was a change in the insect's arthropods. The front legs turned down suddenly, and it seemed that their joints could move freely. After landing on the ground, they lift up and hold up the strange insects. Then they turn around and see that there is another row of compound eyes around the oval abdomen of these strange insects!
In addition to compound eyes, the front of the abdomen split a dotted line, followed by the mouth like a big mouth, spit out some indigestible bones from the mouth. After zero retracts the stone, he replays the picture of the battle between the insect and the rat in his mind. He increasingly feels that what looks like a giant belly is the real head of these strange insects, and the head attacked by those giant rats is actually a camouflage organ, which is used to attract the attention of the enemy and play a role of confusion.
In short, it's a trap. If you only attack the small head of the monster like a giant rat, you can't really kill them. So the bugs don't pay any attention to the rats biting their heads. Instead, the rats that jump on them will be thrown down, because the rats attack their real weakness.
A high degree of intelligence, the tentacles that can eject at high speed, and the organs that act as traps have made it easy for this strange insect to be among the top hunters. It can be imagined that when faced with this strange insect, no matter who will habitually attack their heads, they will fall into the trap of killing.
When we understand the characteristics of strange insects, we don't know how many lives to pay.
At this time, the full monster began to return to the highlands. A strange insect at the back suddenly stops. It turns around and looks at the huge stone with compound eyes. His eyes became a little confused, so he left his companion and went to zero alone. I heard the sound of the insect's claw scraping across the ground, and it was coming towards me. I knew that something was detected by the strange insect.
In the distance, the other insects had already jumped down from the high ground and all of them had shrunk towards the black hole, as if it were their nest. At this time, a large shadow suddenly appeared on zero's head. Zero looked up, just can see the strange insect is facing him, that huge head, zero can even see a root from the worm shell cracks out of the black hard hair!
