Chapter 13: The Ascending Lord
The Whitefishman picked up a sharp, polished stake, clenched his hands, and plunged into the sand.
"Bang!"
Under the force of the Whitefish-Man's explosion, the pointed part of the stake was all submerged in the sand, and the Whitefish-Man twisted the stake, and the stake rotated, and began to move slowly but firmly downward.
It wasn't until half of the stake sank into the ground that the Whitefishman reached out and patted the stake, but the stake didn't move at all, and then he stopped.
In the same way, another stake was driven into the marked ground, and it was already early afternoon.
A faint feeling of hunger rose in the belly of the whitefishman, and the time to hunt had come.
According to the current food consumption of the white fish people, one hunt a day is indispensable.
After resting for a while, the white fishman moved to look in the direction of the dense forest.
The Whitefish-Man nimbly climbed over the ravine between the sand and the dense forest, and the whiskers under their jaws began to twist flexibly, collecting the breath of the creatures that had moved at close range.
"Hey, there's an extra breath, it's so fishy, there's another carnivorous creature here in the middle of the jungle. ”
The white fish people have collected more than thirty dense forest creatures, which can be divided into carnivorous creatures and herbivore creatures, and the more they have collected, the white fish people can clearly distinguish the difference between them.
The smell of carnivorous creatures is often strong with a strong fishy smell.
Corresponding to other directions, the Whitefish People have named this area the middle of the jungle, and subconsciously have listed this area as their hunting range, private territory.
The aura of this newly appeared carnivorous creature naturally attracted the attention of the white fish people.
The middle of the dense forest is so big, in addition to itself, there are already two simple carnivorous creatures, bloodthirsty spiders and ice scorpions, but fortunately, their food is very small and their numbers are not much.
But with the addition of some wild boars and poisonous snakes and other omnivores, and most importantly the white fish people themselves, who eat an astonishing amount of food, there are more than enough predators in the middle of the jungle.
"Where did it come from?" the Whitefishman wondered, as powerful creatures had landed on three sides in the middle of the forest.
It's hard to imagine that this creature will be able to safely pass through the territory of those three powerful creatures.
After thinking about it, the Whitefish Man followed the creature's breath and began to look for its figure.
In any case, the Whitefishmen have already made the middle of the jungle their territory, and just like the bear monster they met in the morning, they instinctively feel threatened and repelled by alien creatures that invade their territory, especially a carnivorous creature.
The middle of the jungle is not very large, and it only takes half an hour for the Whitefish Man to cross it, but it takes more than an hour to walk around.
A raccoon jumps off a nearby branch and falls into the grass, but the Whitefishman is in no mood to kill it, and the priority is to find out the identity of the carnivorous creature.
In his anxiety, the faint hunger from the white fish man's stomach was suppressed for a while.
Following the creature's breath, the Whitefishman quickly found a small hill full of fallen leaves, and under the hill was a deep cave that had just been removed from the shelter, and the fallen leaves at the entrance of the cave were very messy, and there seemed to be some creatures moving there.
A strong fishy smell was coming out of the hole, but the Whitefishmen could sense that the creature was not in the hole.
"It turns out that I occupied his territory......" The Whitefish Man instantly understood something when he saw the hole that had been excavated for an apparently long time.
Perhaps in order to escape the cold wave, the creature hid in its own cave, and it was not until the second day after the cold wave passed, now in the afternoon, that it ran out of the cave.
The terrifying cold wave also eliminated the breath of all creatures from the dense forest, and the white fish people naturally failed to perceive the breath left by this creature.
He made the middle of the jungle his own paradise.
Judging from the residual breath, this creature is undoubtedly very powerful, and it should be the previous overlord in the middle of the dense forest.
Now it looks like the overlord creature is out hunting.
Even if they knew that this dense forest had a master, it was impossible for the Whitefish People to give up this territory like this.
Gem Lake hasn't thawed yet, and this area in the middle of the jungle is the only source of food for the Whitefish People.
It seems that the conflict with this creature is unavoidable, and the thoughts in the hearts of the white fish people are turning rapidly.
With a conclusion, the white fishman continued to walk towards the entrance of the cave, and the creature went out to hunt, just in time to take the opportunity to go in and explore and learn some details about the creature from the side.
The long, pitch-black passage was less than a meter and a half high, and the Whitefish-Man could only crawl on all fours, perhaps a creeping creature.
The passage is very long, although it is dark, but this is not an underground space buried deep underground after all, and the corneum in the eye socket of the white fish man covers the eyeballs, and it can be seen clearly in the dark.
"It's here. The sides of the passage began to widen, and the Whitefish Man came to the creature's den.
"Molting...... "The White-Fish Man found the skin of the creature peeled off here, and compared to the size of the molt, it should be a snake creature or a large snake.
There are several small snakes in the dense forest, and their main attack methods are fangs and entanglement, which pose no threat to the white fish with a thick cuticle covering the whole body.
But it's hard to say about such a big snake...... There was a lot of molting in the snake's nest, and the white fish man estimated that this snake was at least half a meter thick.
But fortunately, judging from the surrounding information, this giant snake is also a solitary creature, and if it is just a creature, it will be easy to deal with.
In the middle of the snake's nest, on a ball of dead grass, there were more than a dozen snake eggs the size of a white fishman's fist, which looked like they had just been laid.
This giant snake may have been the overlord in the middle of the dense forest for a long time, and never thought that there would be creatures that would dare to take the initiative to enter its cave, so it was relieved to put the snake eggs it laid in the cave and went out to forage for food.
"I've been in the middle of the jungle for the past two days, and I should have left a lot of my smell, but this giant snake hasn't been able to find me, so it shouldn't have the ability to sense from a distance. The white fish thought in his heart.
"Provoke it first. The Whitefishman quickly made a decision to wrap all the snakes in weeds, and the Whitefishman stretched out his right hand and took the snakes into his arms, and walked quickly to the outside of the cave.
Walking out of the cave, the white fishman looked around and found the thickest brown tree not far from the snake cave.
The white fishman came to the bottom of the tree, easily embedded his claws in the tree, and climbed onto a thick protruding trunk in three or two.
This position has a wide field of vision, and you can clearly see the location of the snake cave, and the white fish people can see the appearance of the giant snake returning to the nest for the first time.
