A new ecology in the unknown world, and the cracked sticky melon wisher takes the bait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a world full of mysteries and unknowns, and Berton understood this from a very young age, when his teacher told him this: Don't look at the Moon Prayers, it seems that they have created a prosperous civilized world, but all this is not worth mentioning in the face of nature.

There are still too many unknowns in this vast world, and it is not a bad thing to have a sense of reverence for the unknown, and the Moon Prayers do not have the power to crush everything, so prudence can often help them survive better, while constantly learning and understanding.

Even the fruit of a plant is not necessarily safe food on the planet, and if you are not careful, you may end up in big trouble. The simplest example is fruit worms, which are mimic insects distributed in both the Northern and Southern Yuan continents, and are something that many people who pray for the moon hate...... They lay their eggs in the unripe fruit, and when they reach adulthood, they curl up and look almost identical to the fruit. This is an extremely realistic mimicry, and it is almost impossible to tell if the junction between the fruit and the branch is a worm leg or not without looking closely. It's impossible to swallow the Moon Prayer with the size of a fruit worm, but it's okay for these extremely numb-looking disgusting creatures to tear a piece of meat off your hand.

It is said that many people who pray for the moon will have a serious psychological shadow for a long time because of their hideous image after encountering fruit insects, and some people even have a certain mental weakness towards the fruit from then on, and seeing the fruit is like seeing it become a fruit worm.

Imagine your favorite fruit suddenly cracking its skin in front of your eyes, stretching out dense limbs and sharp mouthparts, looking at you with the eyes of food, that kind of terrifying image can even make people have nightmares, not everyone has the consciousness to stand at the top of the food chain and bite those bugs off their heads. This extremely disgusting trait makes the fruit worm a well-deserved number one among the most hated bugs of the Moon Prayer People, far surpassing vampires like the Curved Tube Worm.

I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, but after observation, Bayton didn't find any traces of fruit insects in this area called Tianhuang. This kind of scene that should be very happy for someone else made him feel a little regretful, and Fei Yu could swear that he would definitely hear Beyton muttering: "Although the fruit worm is a little disgusting, it can eat other parts after biting off the head, and it can also carry a fruity smell......"

Normal moon prayers shouldn't be interested in this fruity bug...... Probably, Fei Yu still believes in his common sense in this regard.

However, even if there are no fruit insects, it doesn't mean that the plants here are easy to get along with, and there are no purely ornamental artificial species on Lanxing in this era, especially in the macro continent area.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the macro continent spans the equator and is the largest in the tropical region of the Lanxing continent, and usually this higher temperature can also give birth to a wide variety of organisms, and the strong light provides enough energy for these biospheres to grow day by day.

Beton is indeed very good at looking for any possible food from the details of the environment, which is a point that Fei Yu sighed when he saw him dig out the nearly thirty-centimeter-long gray fruit from a depth of half a meter below the ground along the barely visible stem, and unlike Xinglan's observation method, which is no different from direct scanning, Betton's keen insight is truly one of the best among the Moon Prayers. But they soon ran into more awkward problems...... No one had ever seen this gray fruit, and they didn't know if it was edible.

Obviously, the legend of the Heavenly Desolation did not spread to the Northern Yuan Continent and the Southern Yuan Continent, so all the creatures here were very unfamiliar to Belton. After spending a lot of effort to dig out the fruit that grew in the ground, he could only look at the gray fruit that he had never seen a little blankly, and then he tried to pry open the hard shell of the fruit with a dagger...... It's really hard.

So Betton tried hard for a long time under the somewhat amused gaze of Fei Yi and did not pry open the shell of the fruit, until he smashed the fruit into a sharp bump of the rock, and finally smashed a few tiny cracks in the hard shell of the fruit.

Then Betton tried to insert the dagger into the crack, he turned slightly sideways, it is better not to open his face without knowing what is inside, this is also a necessary common sense to survive in the wild, no one knows what will happen inside this strange fruit...... Speaking of which, in fact, Betton has always been curious about what happened to the Moon Prayer who was the first to discover that once the roots of the Vulcan Tree fruit were broken, the sap would explode when it touched the air......

Well, maybe the first discoverer would have been blown to pieces, after all, even Xinglan couldn't know who was the first moon praying person on Lan Xing to discover that the fruit of the Vulcan Tree would explode......

The next moment, Bayton rejoiced in his foresight.

The moment the dagger broke through the shell of the fruit, a large amount of viscous white slurry erupted from the crack like a fountain, even splashing all the way to the rock five or six meters away. When he completely cut open the unknown fruit, he finally confirmed that there was no such thing as flesh at all...... The entire inside of the shell was filled with this viscous white slurry, and at this time this unknown thing was overflowing with a peculiar smell.

He placed the fruit on the ground and pulled the down from the previous sparkling deer from the package, trying to wipe away the white slurry that had stuck to his hands, which was unusually sticky like glue. Not only was the poor chirping deer drunk on blood, but even its thick down was torn off a lot by Bayton, and as for its use, it was like a paper towel to wipe all kinds of things.

If the deer knew what would happen to him when he died, maybe it would have wept. He didn't think that he was carrying the pair of antlers that could emit crisp music, and he thought so at this time.

"What the hell is this......" Betton watched as the white slurry from the fruit slowly trickled down the rock, it was likely to be highly toxic from any way he looked at it, and he immediately discouraged the idea of feeding on it, not to mention that this slurry was as difficult to remove as glue, and he could only pray that touching it would not cause poisoning.

"Since it's all this slimy stuff in there...... Then let's just call it sticky melon! Fei Yu looked curiously at the white slurry that flowed out of the sticky melon, she hadn't been splashed by the liquid because she was far away, but the strange smell that filled the air was really not a pleasant smell, "Then let's go find something that looks more reliable, this kind of thing feels very wrong." ”

She looked into the distance, where the trees were very sparse, so her view was not too much obstructed, and not far ahead she could clearly see the towering mountain wall, which was like a wall that suddenly blocked the way, like the cliffs seen when she landed.

From here, you can see that there is a tree near the mountain wall, which is a normal green tree, and you may be able to find enough food there...... Thanks to the poor chirping deer, they were not in need of food very much now, and even the Dire, exhausted by hunger, had gradually regained its haughty temperament.

"Well...... Sure enough, it's better to give up. Originally thought that the fruit of the plant buried in the ground would not be so weird, Betton sighed in disappointment, he admitted that he was still too young, he didn't expect this plant buried deep in the ground to be like this, and looked at the hole that took a long time to dig with some regret, and looked again at the sticky melon that was leaking white slurry. This glance stunned him, and in the bright sunlight he could clearly see a strange-looking animal lying next to the white slurry leaking from the sticky melon, licking it with its tongue, all the while keeping its eyes on their movements.

"No, is the sticky melon actually an egg?" As soon as Betton said this, Fei Yu knocked her head with the small umbrella in her hand, and she quickly shrouded her body in the shadow of the umbrella again, and looked curiously at the little guy who suddenly appeared: "You want to hatch eggs, you want to go crazy, stupid, this little guy was just attracted by the sticky melon." ”

"That's right......" Betton also looked at the bold little creature with some curiosity, and it was still licking the white slurry that flowed from the sticky melon, even making it all over its face and paws, but the reddish-brown skin seemed to be immune to the sticky effect of the slurry without sticking. It was a quadruped creature about thirty centimeters in length, with a dense hump-like bulge on its back, and dozens of intertwined pieces of dark hard armor at the center. It has no fur, but rather thick-looking skin with reddish-brown and brown stripes on its outline. The tail is not very long, but it has a strange cavity structure...... This characteristic suddenly reminded Betton of the fear of being dominated by the sudden light, and if it weren't for the fact that the animal in front of him was very different from the sudden light, he would have been ready to cover his eyes.

But of course, this is a well-lit outdoor at this time, and his pupils are also the signature crescent moon shape of the Moon Prayer, and even if there is a sudden light in front of him, it can't be as bad as in the gloomy cavern.

"If the feeling of sticky melon is that you can't eat it, then this little guy who likes to lick the slimy melon slurry...... I'm afraid I can't eat it normally. Betton looked at the creature in front of him with his peculiar perspective, a strong malice that even the little one who was eating could feel, and he kept looking at Betton with eyes that seemed to be able to turn at will, but Fei Yi could vaguely see something wrong in his eyes......

It was not a look ready to flee, but a look ready to attack, and it was only wary of Bayton and not fearful.
