Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sacrificing the Ego to Fulfill the Ego (Part II)
Yes, it's definitely the smell of turning yourself into!
A strong warning arose in Feng Bei's heart, and this smell indicated that a large number of praying mantis nearby had been eaten, and then pulled out and turned into!
As incredible as it sounds, "being able to smell yourself after turning into" is the last layer of defense for many weak creatures.
In nature, the natural enemies of a creature either have comprehensive attribute suppression, such as body size suppression, strength suppression, speed suppression, etc., or have strong restraint for one of its weaknesses, such as anteater termite, Pikachuk large rock snake, etc.
In the face of their natural enemies, creatures often have no way, no matter how hard they try, they can't escape the fate of being eaten, and the gap between them and natural enemies is so big that they are desperate.
They specialize a part of their body, and after the predator eats them, they can only digest this part of the "shell", and the contents are excreted, giving off a strong smell that can only be smelled by the same kind!
This skill is useless for individual creatures, but it is of great significance for the continuation of the population, as long as the natural enemy has pooped somewhere, then all the nearby ones will know, oh!
What's even more wonderful is that if the natural enemy is not particular about pooping and pulling, and the timing of the pinch is not right, then its ** vicinity will also be contaminated with this smell! In this way, no matter where the natural enemy moves, the prey around it can sense its location, and then avoid it in advance, so that its predation efficiency will be greatly reduced, and even starve to death.
Feng Bei has now sensed this smell, and knows that a large number of praying mantis have died here, but the mantis has a very poor sense of smell on its feet, and he can't find the source of this smell!
According to common sense, the most important thing Feng Bei should do now is to flee quickly along the way he came, but as a fourth-order warrior, his spiritual sense warned him in the dark: Don't act rashly! If you turn around recklessly, you will break the current balance of your body...... Definitely going to die!
Damn, damn it! Where the hell is the source of the taste?!
Feng Bei's eyes kept looking around, carefully observing all the scenes around him in 360 degrees, trying to identify which lump was the that the praying mantis had turned into, but as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but branches, leaves, blades of grass, flowers, dirt, and stones......
Wait, stones?!
Feng Bei sensed a slight sense of disobedience, in an environment like the jungle, stones are not common, unless they are close to the sea, otherwise the more humid, the less common the stones. Judging from my previous early morning experience, the humidity of the jungle here is not low, and there should not be such a large rock.
Could it be that the mystery is hidden in this stone?
Feng Bei thought to himself, he lightly twisted his foot towards the stone, and found that the smell was instantly much stronger! This made him refreshed, and sure enough, the smell of came from the stone!
It seems that there is a certain creature that eats a large number of praying mantises, and after digestion and excretion, it rubs its butt against this stone, which is why this stone has such a heavy taste.
Feng Bei thought thoughtfully:
It needs to be rubbed on the stone, which means that this creature loves cleanliness, and the monsters in the wilderness will not take the initiative to love cleanliness, there must be a reason for this, and the biggest possibility is that its excretory organs are defective and very delicate, and must be kept dry.
There is a defective excretory organ, and reptiles are the most likely, and I love to eat a big bug like the praying mantis, and I know that it is nearby, but I can't see it, what will it be...... By the way, can't you see?!
A possibility suddenly came to mind in his mind, Feng Bei shouted, and without hesitation, he launched a step forward slash, aiming at a small grass beside him, and swept towards the diagonal back! At the same time, the "stone" in his eyes suddenly cracked a gap from the middle, and a pink horse quickly popped out of the gap, instantly swept over the position where Feng Bei was before, rolled up a blade of grass, and quickly bounced back!
Feng Bei didn't even see what was going on, the horse had only taken 0.01 seconds to eject, and its speed had already exceeded the limit of his reaction! He could only barely tell from the silhouette of its movement that it was a tongue, a thick tongue coated with fishy slime!
The identity of its owner is about to come out of this iconic stunt, and he has encountered a huge evasion (chameleon)!
Feng Bei suddenly realized, the chameleon was lying on the stone, its camouflage was too perfect, no wonder I didn't find it after looking back and forth a few times! If it wasn't for it lying up, it seemed that the stone was too big, so that I had a sense of disobedience, I am afraid that I would not be able to find it until I died!
Knowing who the hunter was and knowing the specific location of the other party, Feng Bei didn't feel a trace of joy, on the contrary, his heart sank deeply-
This is the real natural enemy of the praying mantis, the natural enemy of the natural enemy!
If the threat index of birds to praying mantis is 3, the threat index of chameleons must be at least 20! The main reason for such a big gap is that birds do not hunt fast and it is not difficult to dodge; while the speed at which chameleons stick out their tongues is 0.02 to 0.04 seconds, which is faster than bullets!
As long as the chameleon's tongue is "discharged", Feng Bei can't dodge no matter what action he makes, he can only predict the chameleon's movements! He wants to run away now, but he doesn't dare to run, as long as he makes a turn and turns his back to the chameleon, he will definitely die!
This stalemate is not a solution at all, the chameleon can wait with the old god waiting, and there is nothing around to eat it, but Feng Bei can't stay motionless all the time, and his natural enemy is not only the chameleon, and the emerald green body is exposed for a long time, which can easily attract the attack of birds!
Observing everything around him 360 degrees, Feng Bei tried to find everything he could use, but except for the grass beside him, there was no shelter within half a meter!
I have no choice but to try my best!
Looking closely at the chameleon's eyes, the moment its left eye turned upward, the wind moved!
He used all his strength to leap towards the chameleon! In the process of jumping, he was afraid that he would not be fast enough, and he vibrated his wings desperately, using his own extreme speed!
The chameleon's upward eyes instantly turned down, and it took 0.02 seconds to lock on to Feng Sorrow, and then its mouth opened, and in only 0.03 seconds, its tongue, which was twice as long as its body, shot out and rolled towards Wind Sorrow!
This action chameleon has done countless times, as long as it is within 1.5 meters of it, no matter which direction the insect escapes, its tongue can accurately lick the other party, and then stick it back into its mouth!
However, this time, what the chameleon's tongue licked was not the fat flesh of the insect, but a bright knife light!
Jumping, flapping wings, accelerating, all in order to lure the chameleon to stick out his tongue, in the air, Feng Bei confirmed that the chameleon's eyes followed his rotation, so he directly chose the chameleon's mouth as the target, and launched all his skills!
Step forward and slash!
Slash Flash!
Betting that the chameleon will definitely predict its own landing point and stick out its tongue, betting that it has predicted the right prediction of the chameleon!
A half-moon-shaped poignant blade suddenly flashed out, and the chameleon's long pink tongue also shot out at the same time, less than 0.005 seconds, and the two sides were staggered in the air!
