Chapter 248: The Counterattack of the Dung Shell Mantis
From the perspective of the food chain alone, Shen Cong is indeed standing at the same height as a big monster like the four-legged snake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it weren't for the pre-apocalyptic civilization, humanity would have been reduced to the status of prey.
Therefore, seeing Shen Cong and the four-legged snake, it seems that they are ready to communicate, and Xiaobei will have the idea of "this is a communication between higher beings", at least for now, humans have not returned to the top of the food chain.
In the military jeep, the four people were a little silent, waiting for Shen Cong's result.
Shen Cong got out of the car and walked in front of the food, and the process was very smooth. But then he began to stop, looked directly into the eyes of the four-legged snake, and slowly reached out to grab the carcass of the animal with slime.
The four-legged snake continued to tilt its head, a slight purring sound coming from its neck.
Shen Cong didn't understand the meaning of this voice.
He was just exercising his own judgment and dragging the animal carcass towards Donkey Kong, the process was still smooth, the four-legged snake watched Shen Cong drag away the food, not only did not stop it, but on the contrary, it also showed a very happy mood, raised his head and shouted twice, and he could hear the joy in his voice.
When Shen Cong endured his nausea and dragged the animal carcass to the front of Donkey Kong's car, the four-legged snake screamed happily, turned around suddenly, and crawled towards the barren slope in the distance.
After climbing a few steps, he turned his head and called out twice at Shen Cong.
As if urging.
Shen Cong raised his eyebrows and glanced back at Donkey Kong, as well as the military jeep in the back. I hesitated a little, but finally made up my mind, stepped on the bouncer, and walked in the direction of the four-legged snake.
He has his own decisions.
In a flash of inspiration, he came to a very comical judgment - the food of the four-legged snake was not a courtship or a show of weakness, but a search for a deal.
If you think of a four-legged snake as a lizard, this judgment is ridiculous, and it is nonsense that humans trade with inferior reptiles. But from an evolutionary point of view, it is difficult to judge the four-legged snake by "a lizard", and it can be seen from its smart eyes that it has a strong IQ.
So, a powerful golden beast, with a decent IQ, came with food and did not take the initiative to attack.
It's really too much like a transaction.
Shen Cong himself believes in the principle of fair trade, so he can better understand the meaning of this four-legged snake. It encountered trouble that couldn't be solved, and it happened to meet Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong gave it the feeling that it was very powerful, after all, the super three talents and had entered the lv1 era.
So the four-legged snake came up with the idea of trading, and it spit out the food as a bargaining chip, seeking cooperation.
The estrangement of communication between species makes the trade not very smooth.
It took a lot of twists and turns for Shen Cong to come to his senses and understand what it meant.
So he decided to tempt the temptation, and he dragged the food over and said that he accepted the deal. If the four-legged snake attacks violently, it means that Shen Cong has misunderstood; Now the four-legged snake did not attack, but began to call him to follow, which clearly meant that the trade was successful.
The equipment has already been brought in, and it can be separated at any time in case of danger; Donkey Kong, which has entered the lv1 era, is not something that Zhao Zilong and others can destroy; It is rare to communicate normally with a powerful golden beast, and Shen Cong does not want to miss this opportunity.
He wanted to know what was the puzzle for the four-legged snake to come and find him to cooperate.
So a huge four-legged snake dozens of meters long ran in front, and an iron armor that was only more than two meters high bounced and followed behind, heading towards the Jishan Forest Farm in front.
Leaving two backs with serious proportions, reflected in the eyes of the four of Zhao Zilong in the military jeepry.
"That, Zilong, do you have any eyes? I seem to have seen Colonel Chen walk with the four-legged snake? Lao Wei scratched his cheeks, looking dumbfounded.
Dahui nodded: "Yes, does the four-legged snake know Colonel Chen?" ”
Xiaobei continued to sigh: "Sure enough, it is a higher creature that can understand each other. ”
Under Zhao Zilong's silver mask, a pair of eyes flashed with many doubts, and he said uncertainly: "Maybe Colonel Chen and the four-legged snake have reached a ...... Trading, just now Colonel Chen dragged the food of the four-legged snake over, this should be a way of exchange. The intelligence of the golden beast is steadily improving, and it may really be able to make a deal with humans. ”
"That's okay, animals are all smart, what should we humans do?" Old Wei said angrily.
"Evolution." Zhao Zilong's tone was serious, "The survival of the fittest in nature has begun, our human science and technology have been destroyed too much, and we do not have a greater advantage than animals, only by evolution can we find a way out." Like Colonel Chen, evolve stronger and maintain the superiority of the human race. ”
……
Shen Cong, who is equipped with a bouncing stilt, runs and jumps easily, and his speed is no slower than that of a four-legged snake.
The four-legged snake led him in a north-easterly direction, and about three minutes later, the four-legged snake led Shen Cong to a U-shaped lake, and then roared at the peninsula in the middle of the lake.
Shen Cong followed the direction of the four-legged snake's roar and saw that in the middle of the lake, there was a huge tree, very similar to a banyan tree, hanging down countless fibrous roots, like a small forest, occupying the entire peninsula.
Far away, I smelled a foul smell coming from the banyan forest.
The four-legged snake roared twice and began to crawl slowly, towards the banyan forest of the peninsula.
Occasionally turning around, he seemed to be motioning for Shen Cong to follow.
Shen Cong fell behind the four-legged snake and walked cautiously towards the peninsula.
As soon as I arrived at the shore, I found that the originally peaceful banyan forest suddenly stirred, and then countless huge black and yellow balls rolled out of the banyan forest.
"What is this?" Shen Cong stopped and looked at the big round balls from a distance.
The balls were almost round, as if they were composed of many decaying animal remains, at least two or three meters in diameter, and behind each ball, there was a fat beetle, which was pushed on its hind legs.
Shen Cong looked at the round ball composed of rotting corpses, and then looked at the beetle pushing the ball, and instantly reacted: "shell lang? ”
There are 2,300 species of dung beetles in the world, distributed on any continent except Antarctica, mainly feeding on animal feces, known as the scavengers of nature.
It is a beneficial insect that accelerates the conversion of feces into substances that can be used by other organisms, filling a link in the ecological balance.
However, these fat beetles that looked like shells had mutated from the shell in front of them were not pushing feces, but animal corpses.
The world-destroying meteor shower has changed the habits of too many creatures.
The shell lang who has eaten all his life has now counterattacked and started to eat meat.
Shen Cong turned his head to look at the four-legged snake, wondering if it was trading food to deal with these shells who had started eating meat.
The four-legged snake seemed to understand Shen Cong's question, and rushed directly towards the shell lang, its huge body twisting rapidly.
However, the Shell Lang's counterattack was far sharper than expected, and they climbed onto their "corpse balls", aimed their butts at the four-legged snake, and quickly gouged open the corpse balls with their hind feet, revealing the metal-like stuff inside. These things were very special, Shen Cong couldn't recognize them, and only saw that the shell Lang looked like a football player, quickly kicking out the metal-like slag.
Click, click, click!
These metal debris instantly covered the sky and sprinkled towards the four-legged snake, and as soon as it touched the four-legged snake, it was as if concentrated sulfuric acid was splashed on the face, violently corroding the skin of the four-legged snake.
The four-legged snake roared back, retreated to Shen Cong's side and kept cooing, as if to say, "Brother, buddy really can't handle it, you can do it." (To be continued.) )
