Chapter 201: Scramble
Just as Lin Su was observing the surrounding environment, a black cloud flew over from a distance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Take a closer look at the black clouds, and they turned out to be red-billed larks.
Red-billed larks, large catch-level 311 birds, have brown feathers and a long red beak being their most distinctive feature. Each red-billed lark is more than 10 meters long and can cover a large area of the sky when flying in groups.
When the red-billed lark appeared, there was a noticeable commotion in the swarm at the top of the canopy.
Without him, those red-billed larks are the fierce enemies of insects.
The huge red-billed lark fluttered to the top of the canopy, its pointed beak pecking at the insects. These red-billed larks destroy insects faster than Lin Su and the others, and the sharp edges of their beaks can easily crush the hard shells of insects such as giant jawed locusts.
It's hard to see the red-billed larks predating, but their beaks haven't stopped since they landed on the canopy.
After the red-billed lark appeared, some other beasts of prey also went into action. Solar bats that specialize in daylight action, rodent Lada rats...... The creatures, who were targeting the insects that had gathered here, quickly joined in the feeding action.
Some insects flew away as soon as the red-billed lark appeared, while others fought back against the attackers. Omnivorous insects, led by the megajaw locust, surrounded several predators in a swarm, and indeed killed some enemies despite the difference in capture level.
Overall, however, the insects are in a weak position, and they are starting to retreat after a drastic reduction in numbers.
Lin Su and the four of them carefully hid under the canopy, not intending to participate in this battle at all.
"It would be great if we could get rid of all the bugs. The three tigers thought to themselves.
Lin Su and they had the same idea, the predators would destroy the bugs, and then they should also leave, so that no one would stop everyone from harvesting BB corn.
In fact, Lin Su was right, since the BB corn growing at the top of this forest entered the maturity stage, a large number of insects would come every day, and then such a scuffle would occur. Predators such as red-billed larks leave when they are full, while the bugs continue to nibble on the sweet juice of BB corn.
Today, however, that balance has been shattered.
A red-billed lark suddenly let out a scream, and its huge body was torn in half. The sudden change startled the nearby red-billed larks, and they flew into the air again.
A behemoth rushed out from under the canopy, it was a huge scorpion with a body length of more than twenty meters. The carapace on the giant scorpion's body was as black as ink, and there were four huge pincers at the front of its body. Each pincer is not only incredibly powerful but also extremely sharp, and it is with these four giant pincers that it has carved a path through the tenacious tree web.
However, what caught Lin Su's attention the most was the giant scorpion's tail, which was long like a whip and had two stingers at the end, and the stingers that grew in opposite directions could open and close like pincers.
"I didn't expect to see a ghost scorpion in this place. "Yilong is a little incredible.
Ghost Scorpion, capture level 527, a type of giant scorpion. Unlike other scorpions, which use poison as a means of attack, ghost scorpions are agile and ghostly, and in most cases use giant pincers to tear their prey apart.
At this time, the giant pincers of the ghost scorpion were still dripping with the blood of the red-billed lark, but the ghost scorpion did not pay attention to the prey that was killed. A red-billed lark is not enough for himself, he wants more prey.
The scorpion stood in place as if it were a sculpture, but its tail lengthened like a spring and flung into the air. Two spikes in the tail bit the neck of a red-billed lark, infusing it with venom and pulling it off in an instant.
The ghost scorpion seemed to teleport to the red-billed lark, and the four giant pincers quickly danced and twisted the red-billed lark's neck.
Having lost two companions in quick succession, the red-billed larks knew they had encountered a formidable enemy, and they decisively abandoned their prey at their fingertips below and quickly moved elsewhere.
After all the red-billed larks left, the scorpion began to enjoy its meal.
"Let's go, it's not wise to clash with the ghost scorpion at this time. Yilong said immediately.
"Let's go, don't want those BB corns?" Lin Su said reluctantly.
"Who said to give up, isn't there so much BB corn over there, let's go over there and break one and go home. ā
The group quietly moved away from the area where the ghost scorpion was located, and made a large circle to the vicinity of another corn plant, which was also a sea of insects.
"You guys wait here first, I'll go and see how it goes. Lin Su whispered, and then cast his ice wings and quickly flew to BB Corn's side.
Of the four, he was the only one best suited for reconnaissance.
Up close, you can see that something is constantly moving underneath the tight coating of BB corn, and those are the bugs that have burrowed into it.
The special fiber structure of the outer skin of BB corn gives them amazing toughness, and if the strength is too low, it will not be able to break through the defense of BB corn. But these precautions are not useful against many gastronomic insects, which can easily burrow inside the corn and eat fresh corn kernels.
If you don't uncover the coating of BB corn, you can't accurately judge the situation inside, but if you don't uncover the coating, more insects will take advantage of it, and Lin Su is in a dilemma for a while.
Turning back to Yilong and them, Lin Su told everything he saw.
"You mean those corn kernels might have been gnawed by the bugs?" said the Three Tigers.
"The outermost fruit must have been destroyed. Lin Su thought for a while and said, "BB corn has a different structure from ordinary corn, normal corn has a corn cob in the middle, and only a layer of corn kernels grows on the outside. But the fruit of BB corn has many layers.
Generally speaking, the number of corn whiskers is about the same as corn kernels, and if you look at the thick whiskers, the amount of fruit inside each corn cob must be very impressive. ā
"Then what are you waiting for, just cut down a corn cob and take it away. Jiro said.
A giant corn with a height of nearly 100 meters weighs about the same as the steamed building, although the weight is exaggerated, but it is not a problem for the current Lin Su and them.
"Okay, just do as you say. Lin Su nodded, "After cutting down the whole corn for a while, there will definitely be a lot of noise, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." ā
Lin Su reminded him, and then directly condensed an ice blade.
"Cut it in two!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Su slashed at the root of the BB corn like lightning.
The powerful slash severed the tough rhizome, and the aftermath of the flight also cut off another BB corn a few kilometers away.
