The journey home is difficult and dangerous, and there is a murderous opportunity hidden under the feast.

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

After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, Lanxing has become a beautiful blue planet. Covering most of the planet's surface is the primordial ocean that has evolved the first life.

Before the first mass extinction, the third era of the development of the Taran star.

This era was later called ...... Marine Epoch.

……

In the depths of the Arashi Ocean, above the seabed.

Dozens of blue-gray humanoids with an average height of about five meters were striding forward, each carrying several silver silk sacs forcibly torn from the sea trees on their backs.

This is the trophy of this outing to search for food.

Although he was unable to collect more silver silk sacs because he was forced back by the flame fish with neurotoxins, the leader of the sea giant was already very satisfied with this. First, these sea giants can't take more silver silk sacs, and second, these harvests are much more than before, enough for everyone to share together, although I don't know why the flame fish seem to come a little slowly this time......

Well, the Sea Giant Leader would never know that the only reason why the Flame Fish were moving a little slower was because they kept turning back from time to time, wrestling with the constant sound of the Mystery Song coming from behind......

"Need you ~ I'm a fish ~ ...... air in the water"

……

Of course, the sea giants would not know that a certain star following the school of flame fish had already begun to follow them, after all, compared to the fire fish in charge of guarding them, the sea giants' hearing was far less keen, and they could not hear the mysterious song that continued to float hundreds of meters above their heads......

A certain star, who seems to have recently taken a liking to brewing a strange atmosphere in the ocean, continues to use the electric current to vibrate the water while following the sea giant below, humming proudly......

"Need you ~ I'm a fish ~ ...... air in the water"

The poor and helpless sea giants are unknowingly stalked by a consciousness that can easily push them down (fog) and claim to be the creator~

Lalala~ Look at my infinite heaven and earth, thousands of miles of tracking!

Not...... Although the evolved species form is somewhat unusual, after all, this is still the primitive life era of the First Age, so there are not many creatures who know how to track Dafa, and the vigilance of creatures is not high...... Of course, for Xinglan's shadowless and formless consciousness, even if the sea giants are vigilant, it is useless.

So, just like that, I went all the way to the sea giant's lair.

Well, along the way, except for "a dead whale falling from the sky, the huge impact almost killed several sea giants...... A small undersea earthquake suddenly erupted, creating a new undersea black chimney and cracking a huge crack hundreds of meters in the seabed...... In the sand, a flatten-meter-long flat fish tried to attack the sea giant, but the sea giant stuffed two silver silk sacs into its nostrils and fled screaming...... An unknown brilliant light flew by like lightning, causing a sea giant to twitch all over...... A glowing sea scorpion with a white glow and a jade-like shell nearly stabbed all the sea giants to death with its venomous tail thorn...... A huge undercurrent of the sea threw a five-meter-high sea giant out of a thousand meters ......", nothing major happened, and he arrived at the sea giant's lair safely.

…… Ha, it's really a "dull" homecoming trip~

All in all, after this series of chaotic events, the destination of the sea giants finally appeared in front of Xinglan's eyes.

It was an undersea mountain range, with rolling peaks similar to those on land, but it was alive compared to the lifeless terrestrial mountains of this era.

Ascend the mountains, which are obviously much higher than the sea tree forests. It's no longer a world of complete darkness, and with a glimmer of light shining through the sea above, you can barely make out some of the sights here...... At least for most creatures.

Sea giants can see everything in their field of vision.

They held up stone sticks covered with super-luminescent bacteria, illuminating their vision like torches, and seeing every rock and every small fish in this place.

Obviously, the sea giants have not yet become truly intelligent creatures, and they will carry silver silk sacs on their backs, but they will not make ropes to tie them, and as a result, the sea giants have to throw the silver silk sacs and glowing stone rods to the rocks above them when climbing the submarine mountains, and then climb them with both hands.

Well, is this situation good or bad in the sea?

First of all, the resistance of the sea water is enormous, which makes it very laborious for the sea giant to climb upwards and throw the silk sac, and the uninterrupted ocean undercurrent also has a big impact on the accuracy of throwing items.

However, it is precisely because the buoyancy of the sea water greatly cancels out the gravitational force of the sea giants, so that they consume less energy to climb, so that these sea giants can trek such long distances.

Sure enough, everything is a double-edged sword, but it can't change anything, and all ordinary creatures can do is force themselves to adapt to the environment.

Well, this is also the helplessness of ordinary creatures......

……

Although the height of this submarine mountain is not enough to break through the surface of the sea to form an island, it took the sea giants several hours to finally approach the summit after losing four silver silk sacs due to a throwing error.

At this time, the mysterious song of the sky finally reached the ears of the sea giants, and they looked up in confusion, and when they saw nothing, they decisively chose to ignore this completely unintelligible language, and continued to move towards their hometown.

So they didn't know that the enigmatic song wasn't just floating in front of them and watching them move forward, but even the lyrics had changed......

"Come with me~I'll leave at dawn~"

"The dream has been awakened ~ the heart will not be afraid ~"

"There is a place ~ that's a happy home ~"

"It's close to the heart~ but far away from the end of the world......"

In fact, if the sea giants could really understand the lyrics, instead of being motivated, they would be speechless and convulsive to the point of exhaustion......

Well, please allow us to make a sad face.

When the cave near the top of the mountain finally appeared in the eyes of the sea giants, the sea giants were obviously very excited. They quickly climbed the last leg of the trail and ran forward standing on the mountainside......

On the gentle slope near the summit of this mountain, there is a group of naturally formed caves. Dense black holes are distributed like honeycombs, and there is some faint light inside.

The leading sea giant let out a huge roar at the cave in front of him, and soon, there was movement inside, and some slightly shorter sea giants walked out one after another, with a few small sea giants.

He actually lived in a cave near the top of the mountain......

Should you cave people be called you?

"Is it affected by the unlocking of human genes?" Xinglan watched as the giants below slapped each other, as if they were cheering in celebration, "Is it the male who went out, and then the female left behind with her cubs...... There is such a clear gender divide, this is not what this era should be......"

The leading sea giant excitedly beckoned his companions to place the silver silk sacs on the relatively gentle hillside, and then the female blue-gray giants also gathered around with the children, and the cheeks on their cheeks opened and closed quickly, as if they were very excited.

Probably not really creating tools other than the stone rods used for lighting, the leading sea giant threw his lighting stone rods to the side and began to tear one of the bulging silk sacs with his bare hands......

Tear and pull!

With a cracking sound, the tough silver silk sac was punctured by the sea giant with the tip of his fingernail, and it could no longer resist the tearing of the huge force, and it burst open......

The surrounding sea giants had already retreated a few meters, and as soon as the leading sea giants tore open the silk sac, they threw it lightly and flew back without hesitation......

As the silk sac ruptured, a large amount of dark green strongly acidic digestive juice leaked out of the fissure, reflecting the sea water with a suffocating color, a breath of death.

Thankfully, there weren't too many of the highly acidic digestive juices in the silk sac, and the sea was the sea, and the endless currents of water quickly diluted the terrible liquid enough to melt the metal.

After confirming that the digestive juices had been diluted, the Sea Giant Leader cautiously stepped forward, grabbed the somewhat fluttering silk sac, and gently ripped it open......

A large fish with only a slight erosion on the surface of the body appeared in the silk sac, the fish was dead, but because it had not been devoured for a long time, as long as the surface layer was removed, it was basically the same as fresh prey.

The sea giants had not yet developed the wisdom to learn to use fire, and it was impossible to light a fire at the bottom of the sea, so they just sat around this big fish about half a meter long, reached out and tore off the flesh of the fish and ate it directly.

It's a feast.

Unlike normal vertebrates, sea giants have a blue-gray crust that resembles an exoskeleton on the outside of their bodies. This layer of hard shell is capable of withstanding huge blows and provides strong defense, although Xinglan does not yet know if the sea giant needs to molt like an insect, but this thick carapace obviously causes a lot of trouble for the sea giant as well.

Because of their heavy carapaces, not only do they require a lot of effort to move, resulting in increased food requirements, but they also severely limit the speed at which sea giants can move.

In the ocean, large animals are already suffering a lot of resistance, and the sea giant's non-hydrodynamic body form and heavy carapace further limit their movement speed, although it is not as exaggerated as the speed of a snail, but it is obviously very difficult, if not impossible, to catch fish that move quickly.

"So......" Xinglan watched as a female sea giant helped the children around her tear off the fish, and several other male sea giants began to tear apart other silver silk sacs, "Do they need to take the carcass of their prey from the immovable sea tree......

The harvest was not always satisfactory, and in addition to a few of the other silver silk sacs, there were some corpse remains that were basically digested to the point of bones and completely inedible, and these added up to only about 10% of the silk sacs that could actually get edible meat.

Instead of discarding these seemingly waste silk sacs, the sea giants sorted them along with edible meat and placed them on the ground, as if they were ready to treat and preserve them after enjoying the feast in front of them.

It's a harmonious family feast...... If you ignore the food that came out of the stomach of the sea tree and the horrific scene of the sea giants facing a pile of internal organs gnawing on their mouths full of blood......

Living in the sea, at least you will never need to wipe your mouth and rinse your mouth......

…… Wrong!

Xinglan suddenly realized something, if there were so many drawbacks, then why hadn't the sea giant's blue-gray hard shell been eliminated by natural selection?

Natural evolution should not leave such a big drawback...... In other words, this exoskeleton-like hard shell has its uses?

The leading sea giant let out a roar violently, and his voice was full of jealousy, this was a warning!

The feast was interrupted, and the sea giants who were dining stopped moving. The female sea giant didn't have time to clean up the food on the ground, and quickly took the child to hide in the cave behind her.

The male sea giants raised their stone rods and looked nervously at the cliffs at the end of the gentle slope ahead, their cheeks opening and closing rapidly.

“——”

With a shrill cry, a spider's leg several meters long, like an enlarged version, suddenly stretched out from under the cliff, and the sharp tip shimmered on the rock.

The massive body slowly rises from the bottom of the cliff......
