Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Darkest Land
In Wu Mo's sight, the road ahead was full of black strange insects, they seemed to be mating, rows of white eggs behind them, and they were growing, dividing, and hatching at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, they seem to be somewhat afraid of light, and their speed is noticeably sluggish when shrouded in the glimmer of moonstone.
Wu Mo was not afraid of monsters, but the most disgusting of these dense things was really difficult to accept psychologically, so he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Ah......h
"I'm sorry, but you'd better keep quiet." Wu Mo said softly, he didn't dare to speak loudly at this time, these insects may be sensitive to light, or they may be nocturnal creatures, and nocturnal creatures are also very sensitive to sound.
Long didn't see anything in front of her, so she didn't know what was going on, but she was obviously smart enough to nod and stop talking.
Wu Mo turned his head and continued to look ahead.
Hey?! This...... What's going on?
As far as Wu Mo could see, the insects had disappeared.
Not only that, but even the squeak in my ears swayed like a broken candle and dissipated in the wind.
Gone? Without? Wu Mo's head was a little messy.
The inability to see can be explained, maybe it's because you retreat so the light can't reach it, so those disgusting things disappear from sight, what about the sound? How to interpret the voice, the voice will not say no, there will be nothing, right?
Wu Mo reacted at this time, did Long say that she neither heard the sound nor saw the insects?
Wu Mo stared at the darkness, looking at the undulating mountains hidden behind the pure black left and right, like the backbone of a giant beast in the night.
"No, you hold her." Wu Mo spoke to Long in a very soft voice, and at the same time put down Ai Yixia, who was already unconscious on his back, and Long took it with his hand and held her steadily.
What does he want to do?!
In Long's eyes, Wu Mo took a step forward hesitantly, and his face, which was pale by the light, still had a little struggle.
Because of the words on the ground before, Long never knew who he should trust now, this big sister who seemed to be more reliable and trustworthy was so tired that she collapsed, Xiao Yue warned her, human beings can't be trusted, unless it's a familiar person.
And Long has no familiar people.
Wu Mo can calculate a lot of things, but he can't see through people's hearts, and he doesn't have the interest in thinking about other people's thoughts.
He took the moonstone with him and took this step.
It's like a world away.
The palpitating squeak came into his mind again from all directions, it was the pitch-black carapace colliding together, and the sound was so close to the cicada's song.
The dense swarm of insects appeared in front of his eyes again, and at the edge of the light, the black carapace reflected an eerie light.
It's just one step away, and that's what it looks like.
"Long," he lowered, "can you see what's up ahead?" ”
Long raised his head and looked carefully ahead.
However, in her sight, there was nothing but the land and moss-like vegetation that the light could reach.
She shook her head.
Although he had already expected the answer, Wu Mo was still a little lost in his heart.
"Long, are you afraid of bugs?" Wu Mo asked suddenly.
Long had been confused for a long time, she couldn't step forward with Ai Yixia, and she was at a loss in the face of Wu Mo's words.
Bugs, maybe many people will be afraid, but she will not, because she herself is a person who has lived in this valley for so many years, and the Dafutu Mountain Range is home to more than half of the species on this continent, including bugs.
She lives with fish, lives with living beings, rises and sleeps with heaven and earth, and has the same feelings for almost all living beings.
If there's anything nasty about her, it's probably the guy who kept her here for years.
When Wu Mo saw her like this, he said a word to her.
"Come here."
Long didn't hesitate and stepped forward.
Then, too, she saw the dense stuff.
Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth, trying not to scream.
At last....... She stammered, "Ground ......."
"You know these things?"
"Hmm."
"You're not afraid of them?"
"Don't be afraid, they don't eat people, no...... They don't eat anything alive. So, don't be afraid. ”
Despite this, her surprise, that surprise that showed her face betrayed the shock in her heart at the moment.
Wu Mo was waiting for her to continue.
"I thought that this bug was already extinct, but I didn't expect that there were so many ...... So much ......"
Extinct species?
Wu Mo didn't think about it so much, it's just that these black things are too challenging for people's psychological endurance, especially the sharp claws of this kind of insect forelimbs, no matter how you look at it, you feel that this thing is not low-aggressive, but I didn't expect them to eat live things. There was a lot less uneasiness in his heart, and if so many insects besieged him, he was afraid that they would all be gnawed into white bones.
"Don't look at it so ugly, but in fact, they are creatures that protect the earth."
"Protect the earth?!"
"Hmm!" Long said, "Xiao Yue told me that the source of the material in this world is thousands of plants, which can absorb light and air to make matter for the world. ”
Photosynthesis? The science of this world doesn't seem to be too far behind. Wu Mo thought so.
"But in this dragon sound world, there is also a kind of insect that can transform living matter into a special thing, which cannot be seen or touched, but can be absorbed by other lifeforms, and it is the existence of this kind of thing that can all living beings cultivate and evolve."
So, in other words, the total energy content of the three gods mentioned by Aisha exceeds the maximum amount of energy used in the dragon sound world itself, is the reason because of the extinction of this bug?!
"Then, how did Long know about this kind of bug, since it is an 'extinct' thing, then no one should have seen it before, right?"
"It was Xiao Yue who told me, the reproduction speed is extremely fast, the body is pure black, the front is strong and sharp, diving underground during the day to eat soil for a living, coming out at night, breeding with tails, eating dead things, afraid of light, no threat."
"It's quite detailed, and the big fat fish knows quite a lot."
Long smiled a little proudly, "Xiao Yue knows everything, everything about me is what it taught me." ”
At the mention of the big fat fish, Long's mood fluctuated a little.
But soon her eyes dimmed again, this kind of insect multiplies quickly and dies quickly, so the number is getting smaller and smaller, and she is afraid of light, I am afraid that in this world, there is only the polar night area that is not covered by the light in the center of the Dafutu Mountain Range.
Wait a minute...... These bugs are here, are they...... Where are they now......
"Long, you just said that this kind of insect is afraid of light, right?" Wu Mo's words suddenly sounded.
Long didn't reply.
According to the habits of living beings, light-phobic creatures will gather in dark places to survive, so where is the darkest area recognized by the whole continent, only the pure black area in the center of the Dafutu Mountain Range.
It is also the most dangerous place on the whole continent.
