Chu Ge used his tail to flick the corpse of a worm.

The worm was suffocated or scalded, and it was buried deep in humus, so the remains were intact.

At first glance, it's a spider.

But extending backwards from its abdomen, it has a poisonous tail similar to that of a scorpion.

Moreover, in the gap between the carapace behind him, there is also a poison sac that looks like a toad.

It's like piecing together several different insect characteristics in a haphazard manner, an ugly "stitching monster".

Chu Ge frowned slightly, put the corpse of the mutant spider aside, and went to play with the corpse of another centipede curled up in a ball.

Similarly, it looks like a centipede, but it is as thick as a small snake, and a layer of fine scales has grown on its body, which greatly strengthens its defense, but it still retains slimy, unpleasant legs.

Chu Ge inspected seven or eight relatively intact insect corpses in a row, and found that most of them were like this.

Some lizards have toad venom sacs growing on their backs, some scorpions have thick reptilian skin between their carapaces, and some long insects are like a fusion of centipedes, horses and earthworms.

Seeing that Chu Ge was investigating so seriously, Bai Ye also stepped forward to take a closer look, looked at it for a long time, and after muttering for a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "These insects don't seem to have evolved naturally. ”

"That's right."

Chu Ge recalled for a moment and said, "When I was in the Extraordinary Association, I also fought against demon beasts that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and highly evolved, but no matter how much aura these demon beasts absorbed, their evolution path always followed the direction of their own genes, in other words, these cats, dogs or insects will always evolve into 'stronger cats, stronger dogs and stronger insects', but it is impossible, it was originally a cat, and after absorbing a large amount of aura, it mutated into a fierce dog." ”

"It makes sense, you see these insects, some of them are reptiles, some are arthropods, and some are mollusks."

Bai Ye used an embroidery needle to pick open the carapace of several insects, looked at the slimy contents, and thoughtfully, "Even if the revival of the aura can promote the cell mutation of the insects, in a pure natural environment without external interference, it is unlikely that reptiles will mutate into mollusks, or mollusks will mutate into arthropods, right?"

"One more thing, don't you think this insect tide is coming strangely, there are too many of them?"

This question made Chu Ge slightly stunned, recalling the battles in the past ten days and half a month, including the first batch of insect tides seen under Luminous City, he nodded.

"It's a little too much."

Chu Ge said, "The first batch of insect tides under the Luminous City alone is overwhelming, countless, and I am afraid that all the insects within a radius of dozens of miles have gathered.

"When this group of insect tides was completely wiped out by us under the luminous city, no matter what kind of ability the snake demon had to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how could it be possible to reconvene such a huge insect tide in a hurry?

"Yes, there may still be a large number of insects left in the corners of the underground world, but how to attract these insects, how to control them, how to make them crawl from all directions, along the winding and rugged crevices, to the lair of the snake demon, and how to supply along the way? These are all difficult problems to reach the sky!

"You must know that a single insect is actually a very fragile creature, in the case of lack of food, it is absolutely impossible for them to crawl dozens of miles in the dark cave, even if the snake demon has a strong mental control ability, it is impossible to call on the insect to come over and 'moth to fight the fire' at such a distance."

"Yes, since the second day of the battle of Luminous City, the national teacher has launched a revenge with great vigor, and from that day on, the army of our rat clan has been rushing towards the snake demon's lair, and cut off the connection between the snake demon's lair and the surrounding area."

Bai Ye said, "If there are really a large number of insects coming from all directions, there is no reason why we can't even catch the slightest clue, and the appearance of these insects is so strange, it is very different from the insect tide under the luminous city, once we are caught, it will definitely leave a deep impression, even the national teacher will know."

"So, it's really weird, where did these deformed insects come from?"

Chu Ge thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the snake demon was raised here?" With the size of a landfill, it's enough to feed so many insects. ”

Bai Ye said: "So, what is the matter with the deformed mutations of these insects, the snake demon will not have such a terrifying ability, can put together different kinds of insects, and even reptiles, arthropods and mollusks, right?" ”

Chu Ge couldn't figure this out.

Even, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he shuddered deeply.

The two of them were puzzled, so they had to put down the strange insect corpse and study the remains of the giant python.

The body of the python was blown in half, and its head and body were placed separately, even if it was dead, it still looked like a majestic mountain, giving people a strong sense of suffocation.

Chu Ge circled the body of the giant python for a long time and came to the conclusion that this was 100% a forest python that only lived in the tropical rainforest.

That's weird.

Lingshan City is located in the southeast and has a typical subtropical climate, and the nearest tropical rainforest is at least 108,000 miles away.

Even in the past few decades, the world has changed, extreme weather has occurred frequently, and various natural and man-made disasters have emerged one after another, including the suburbs of Lingshan City.

However, "jungle" and "rainforest" are two completely different concepts, and in the natural ecological environment of Lingshan City, there should be no such thing as a "forest snake", and in the past few decades, there has never been a record of Lingshan citizens discovering the forest snake.

Could it be that this forest python is particularly fierce and fierce, and it is particularly yearning for Lingshan City, which is located in the subtropics, warm in winter and cool in summer, with pleasant scenery, not far away, long journey, swimming here?

Chu Ge scoffed at this speculation.

With the size and ferocious habits of this forest snake, it can be the king and dominate no matter what the environment, and generally speaking, such a king at the top of the food chain cannot easily leave his territory, let alone migrate thousands of miles away.

Chu Ge used an iron nail to pry off the giant python's body, a parasitic crustacean scale attached to it similar to a "barnacle".

I went to check the python's blood-soaked eyes again.

Although the python's left eyeball was damaged, it was not completely blown up, and the abundant blood vessels and nerves behind the eyeball could be vaguely recognized.

"It's not a native creature."

Chu Ge looked at it for a long time and said, "It's a foreign invader." ”

Bai Ye said: "How can you see it? ”

"First, there are so many barnacle-like crustacean parasites attached to its body, these little things should grow in the swamps around the tropical rainforest, and we are rich in snails around Lingshan City, but these parasites are not the same thing at all."

Chu Ge pointed at the carapace fragments on the giant python's corpse with an iron nail, and said, "Judging from these ancient traces, these crustacean parasites have been attached to it for a long time, maybe for decades, I don't think that as early as a few decades ago, Lingshan City had the conditions to breed such a forest worm." ”

Bai Ye said: "Makes sense, what about the second?" ”

"The second is its eyes."

Chu Ge said, "From the analysis of such a rich blood vessel and neural network, this giant python should have quite keen vision. ”

Bai Ye said: "Keen vision, what's the problem?" ”

"There's a problem."

Chu Ge said, "If it is born and raised in the dark world underground, it does not need keen vision at all - the organs of living beings, following the principle of using in and out, many creatures will degenerate after the environment changes drastically and after escaping into the underground, it is like the very famous 'blind snake', the eyes are completely useless, but the sense of hearing becomes extremely sharp." ”

Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "The vision of the rat clan has not degraded. ”

"The vision of the rat clan is not very good in the first place, so there is a saying that 'rat eyes are light'."

Chu Ge said, "Moreover, the rat clan is a civilization born by external interference, you were enlightened by the national teacher, and you have long had the social habit of living in groups, you can use all kinds of light sources, and you are not even afraid of flames, in this case, your weak vision can be preserved."

"But what about the snake clan, they live in the dark world underground, they don't even have hands and feet, and there is no possibility and urgency to establish civilization at all, if it is a natural evolution, why is it necessary to retain a keen vision?"
