Chapter 102: I don't know if it's a plan

Mu Ziqi looked at it again, it was still the little animal, it has miraculously returned to normal now, this is really a magical animal, its body has amazing flexibility, even if it is pressed into a thin paper, it can be restored as before, if there is no magic in the body, it is difficult to do.

It is naturally not stupid to escape, the gecko has long been on strict guard against it, if you don't avoid its sharpness, you will definitely not have its own good fruit to eat.

The first need is to escape from the gecko's claws as soon as possible, and when it runs to the gecko's tail, it feels that the opportunity has come again, and it jumps up sharply and immediately bites the gecko's tail.

The gecko is not as quick as it reacts, and is still in shock, and its tail has fallen into the mongoose's mouth.

In this way, the meerkat is still not completely detached from the nature of animals, and there is a big difference in human IQ, because many people know that geckos and lizards are close relatives, and their tails have the same function, and biting the tail is equivalent to being fooled.

Their tails serve three main functions: balancing, storing energy, and evading predators.

The gecko's tail plays an active role in vertical climbing and gliding, as well as storing fat.

Geckos can rely on their tails to prevent falls from vertically smooth surfaces, and even if they do, they will rely on their tails to adjust themselves in the air, just like skydivers and eventually land safely.

When geckos fall from a smooth vertical surface, they will actively turn their tails in order to flip their bodies so that their backs are facing up, and after adjusting themselves in the air, the gecko calmly glides in the air and relies on moving its tail to control the direction and angle of the descent, and finally the belly is the first to touch the ground and land safely, just like a skydiver, while a gecko without a tail has a hard time climbing over a vertically smooth wall and cannot perform these maneuvers.

The peculiar thing is that the gecko's tail is easy to break, but it can be regenerated, this is because there is a smooth articular surface in the tail vertebrae, which connects the front and rear half of the tail vertebrae, and the muscles, skin, and scales in this place are relatively thin and loose, so when the tail is attacked, it can swing its body violently, and through the strong contraction of the tail muscles, the tail vertebrae are broken at the joint surface, so as to escape from the enemy. Because the tail stores energy in the form of glycogen rather than simply in the form of fat, and glycogenized fat is easier to release energy, so the nerves and muscles of the newly broken tail have not yet died, and will tremble on the ground, which can play a role in diverting the sight of natural enemies. However, the giant gecko will only cut off its tail when it is forced to do so, because after all, it is a serious injury to its body, not only losing the fat stored on the tail, but also losing its status in its own kind. Especially when courting, a large gecko with an intact tail has a great advantage over a large gecko that has lost its tail.

The gecko's tail then fell, and the meerkat immediately bit the tail tightly and ran around the bluestone with great pleasure.

While playing, he also looked at his opponent from time to time, and he decided that the gecko would not have a living mouth, because if any animal has such a large part of its body, it will not die of pain, but also die of excessive blood loss.

Mu Ziqi wandered the world and was well-informed, so he naturally knew the trick of the gecko, and he knew that he was fooled.

Looking at the triumphant appearance of the little animal, I can't help but laugh in my heart.

Thinking about it this way, it is still an animal, and its head is too simple, and a small trick will easily fool it.

After losing its tail, the gecko did not immediately turn around and launch a crusade against the mongoose.

But it was lying there motionless, which made Mu Ziqi feel very strange, what happened to it today, why didn't it launch a fierce attack on that hateful animal, as mentioned earlier, although the gecko's tail is not a big problem, but after all, it will discount the happiness of his life.

But it remained indifferent, lying there as if it were going to sleep.

When the little animal saw this, it became more and more carried away, and it seemed that the gecko was really dying as it expected, and its life was not guaranteed.

In addition, the tail jumps more than once, it is very interesting, which arouses its strong interest, and it keeps chasing, at this time it is like a kitten, constantly jumping, grabbing the tail, once missed, caught again, when caught, it seemed ecstatic, holding the tail and rolling on the bluestone.

But in the end, because the territory is too small, this roll, it collides with the gecko's body, and knocks off the tail in its arms, which makes the little animal very frustrated, resentful, it kicks the gecko lying there with its foot, as if thinking: Why don't you die quickly, so you can make room for me to play well.

The gecko was kicked by it, but there was still no response.

Mu Ziqi was also puzzled by this, what happened to the gecko, was it really hit hard and died, but looking at its eyes again, it was still wide, and there was no sign of losing its life.

But when I think about it, no, as I said earlier, geckos, like fish, do not have eyelids, so it looks as if they are keeping their eyes open at all times, so it is impossible to determine whether they are dead or alive just by whether they are open or not.

But when they were stationary, they were like a piece of wood, and they appeared like plants, and they couldn't even see whether they were breathing or not.

Not to mention small animals, even Mu Ziqi can't judge whether this big gecko can move again.

After the little animal kicked it, it still felt unrelievable, and then kicked it again, which would have some effect, the big gecko's body moved, and the little animal saw that there was a door, and wanted to put down its tail, concentrate all its strength, and exert its power again, kick it violently, and kick it off the cliff.

However, the tail jumped into its arms again, like a fish, and straightened up violently, and hit it in the face, and the little animal was caught off guard, and was suddenly stunned by it, and fell on the bluestone, just as it was about to get up.

No, all of a sudden, the situation has changed dramatically!

Like a piece of wood, the big gecko suddenly jumped high, and before the small animal could react, it suddenly swung its head to the ground, and immediately knocked the meerkat to the ground, and then raised its front paws, and slapped it towards the small animal that was struggling and wanted to get up.

Of course, the gecko doesn't stop there, and it keeps shaking its mouth while continuing to bite the mongoose in its mouth.

The little creature was wailing and struggling.

The gecko continued to bite violently, and I don't know how many bites, and finally, little by little, the voice of the little animal gradually weakened.

However, no matter how the gecko bites, there is no meerkat bleeding, hey, this is strange, Mu Ziqi thought to himself, being bitten by the gecko like that, why didn't the skin break.

Just when the gecko's mouth opened again, Mu Ziqi saw clearly that the gecko had no teeth, no wonder it had bitten so many times, and the mongoose did not bleed, its bite was actually just a blow.

It seems that he doesn't know much about geckos, and it has always preyed on insects by sticking its tongue out and sticking the insects directly to it, and then quickly retracting, and then swallowing into its belly.

It seems that they are close relatives of crocodiles, but in fact, their nature is very different.

If there was a crocodile in front of him, this little animal would have been torn to shreds, so why wait until now.

But because of its great strength, even if it is not a bite, the little creature cannot withstand it.

The mongoose has now become soft, and no matter how much the gecko fiddles with it, it doesn't react at all.

Since you can't bite it, what is the gecko still tossing, why not swallow it in the belly at once.

Thinking about it again, the gecko's food chain is only insect-like creatures, and it has never been heard of including vertebrates, in fact, it is not difficult to understand that its stomach and intestines must not be able to digest hard bones, and if it can, how can it let go of the wild meat full of mountains.

Just imagine, this gecko is really like a crocodile, rampant between the mountains and forests, what a terrible thing it must be, it will pose a great threat to animals, and even humans, bringing many disasters.

Thankfully, this did not materialize.

This is also a blessing for life on land.

At this time, the critter has long been completely unconscious, and it is so soft that it is at the mercy of the gecko.

Geckos are still not very reassured, and continue to abuse.

It wasn't until finally, when it ran out of strength, that it put the critter aside.

This time, it seems that the little animal is really dead, lying quietly at the feet of the gecko, not moving.

The gecko was still on high alert at first, staring at its opponent tightly, not daring to relax at all.

In this way, the stalemate with it for a long time, at last, the gecko finally got tired and lay down on the bluestone, wanting to rest.

The gecko's mouth opened widely, its tongue stretched out in a long way, "woo", and with a loud sound, the gecko yawned like a human.

Interesting, Mu Ziqi was happy.

It turns out that yawning is not a unique patent of humans, animals, and even such living fossils will do this.

People often say that yawning is contagious, but sure enough, seeing the gecko like this, Mu Ziqi, whose nerves have been tense, also felt very sleepy, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and was about to exhale comfortably.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the ground, and it suddenly drilled into the gecko's mouth!
