Chapter 5: The Underground Tree Ape

Nie Yuan, who rushed out of the water, saw the female mouse disappear around the corner and swam to the stinky ditch on the other side, as if he would keep looking for it if he didn't find Nie Yuan, the murderer of his children.

Nie Yuan also climbed ashore from around the corner and glanced at the female mouse who was still looking for him in the stinky ditch from a distance. At this time, in front of the female mouse, another male mouse appeared, and there were four little mice lying on the back of the male mouse, and it was the father of these four little mice who carried them to this side and fled unquickly, and at the same time sent a signal for help to the female mouse in front of them.

And behind the male mouse, there is a python more than one meter long, which is spitting snake letters and chasing after him.

The mother rat glanced at the python in horror, and then at the desperate male mouse and his children, and squeaked twice and rushed to block the front, hoping that the male mouse would have a chance to escape.

The female mouse seemed to be because of the pain of losing her child, and did not want to see the same fate as herself, and in the face of the natural enemy python, she actually calmed down from fear, showed her long fangs, and pounced on the python.

In the face of the ferocious female mouse, the python was unexpectedly startled, in the eyes of their python clan, the rat clan is their food chain, seeing them usually flee in panic, and they have never seen anyone who dares to fight back against them.

The python was stunned for a moment, and then pounced. Although the body of the female mouse is huge, it is impossible to escape from the venomous claws of the python, and soon the giant tail of the python is entangled, and the female mouse is entangled to death. The python became tighter and tighter, and the mother mouse died in the hands of the python after only a moment's struggle.

From the moment the mother mouse faced the python, its fate was already doomed. The female mice themselves know this very well, but for the sake of their own kind, the female mice would rather pay for their own lives than save the lives of the male mice and their offspring.

Seeing this scene, Nie Yuan couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart. It turns out that there is such a side to the animal world, maybe human beings only know that they are a kind of unintelligent animals.

In fact, everything they do is just to live, to live! It's as simple as that.

The water in the stinky ditch was black, and Nie Yuan saw the male rat take his children ashore and successfully escape from a hole in a corner.

Nie Yuan didn't stay here long, found a crack and climbed in. Now his spider body is 13 centimeters large, although the python eats mice, but when he sees such a big spider, he is afraid that he will not let it go.

"How did the damn python crawl into the rift here?"

From the information transmitted from the vibration sensor of the bristles on his feet, Nie Yuan knew that it was the python that was tracking him, but the python was not happy to chase after him, and he was just slowly swimming in this direction. Nie Yuan sped up his speed, came to a large crack and crawled out.

Immediately, Nie Yuan sensed that there were hundreds of rats in front of him, and even if the vibration sensor didn't send information, he could hear a chaotic squeak.

Nie Yuan felt that he had come to a rat's nest, and the stinky ditch here was getting wider and wider, and the surroundings were pitch black, all of which were the sounds of rats. Although the place was dark, it was no different from daytime to Nie Yuan, and he climbed over the wall with the sound.

There was an iron door in front of him, and it could be seen that it was a stone room discarded by humans, and Nie Yuan climbed in along the top of the iron door, and saw that there were about 500 rats gathered in the room. And the most surprising thing is that the rats are huge, no different from adult cats.

"Why are there rats of this size, they can't all become sperm, right?"

There are more than 500 mice as big as adult cats, which makes people extremely scary just thinking about it, but fortunately Nie Yuan is a spider, and in front of them is still an inconspicuous spider.

Looking at this group of mice as big as cats, Nie Yuan had the urge to swallow them all alive, but unfortunately he didn't have that kind of strength yet, and he could only look at the food in front of him. At this moment, Nie Yuan sensed that the python was crawling towards this side from 2 meters away.

The rats, who were about to become proficient, also sensed the arrival of natural predators, and immediately squeaked and panicked, and drilled into the hole at the foot of the stone chamber wall.

The python climbed into the stone chamber very quickly, and the group of giant rats had just begun to prepare to escape, and the python had already pounced.

For a while, the battle between this group of snakes and rats began in the stone room.

The python was majestic, and the giant rat in front of him was swept away by it, and many giant rats were directly pumped out. Rats have always been timid, not to mention that in the face of natural enemies like pythons, they are all running around. But the number of rats is mostly large, and the giant rats that are scurrying around are black and oppressive in a large area, and the python is only about a meter long, and although its body is thick, it is quickly submerged by the giant rats.

Taking advantage of this chaos, Nie Yuan saw a giant rat that had been knocked unconscious by a python, lying motionless in a corner, he immediately quickly crawled over, killed with poison first, and vigilantly sucked the liquid in the giant rat's body.

The secreted digestive juice of the spider was injected into the prey, and it quickly dissolved, and a mouse as big as an adult cat was sucked into a layer of skin by Nie Yuan in the blink of an eye. You must know that spiders are considered to be a mysterious species in the world that can 'turn into corpses**', no matter how large the animal, as long as a large amount of secreted digestive juice is injected, it will be turned into bones.

Absorbing this huge giant rat, Nie Yuan's body grew directly to 14 centimeters. Nie Yuan didn't dare to stay down there for long, and after a glance at the snake and mouse battle, he crawled out along the hole in the corner.

Outside the cave is a large space, with light and a scent. Nie Yuan thought he had come outside, but after a closer look, his expression suddenly froze, this was not what he thought.

It turned out to be a closed stone chamber, ten zhang wide, and there was a 3-meter-high blood-red stone platform in the center, and there was an ape-man sitting on the blood-red stone.

Not a person, but an ape, as could be seen from his face, Nie Yuan was sure that he was not mistaken.

The ape-man's eyes were closed, and it seemed that he was lifeless, and Nie Yuan also looked at it boldly. Seeing that the ape-man was covered with branches, and the branches were born out of the skin, but the leaves in the branches were yellow, and from head to toe, the ape had branches everywhere except the face.

There are all yellow-haired, white-haired, and black-haired apes in this world, and I have never seen a tree ape with branches.

Strange things like rebeing a spider have happened to Nie Yuan, and seeing a lifeless tree ape in this closed stone room doesn't feel anything except for some surprise at first.

However, there was a glowing green fruit on the branch on the head of the tree ape, and the fruity fragrance that permeated the stone chamber was emitted from the green fruit, which attracted Nie Yuan's attention.

Nie Yuan wanted to go down and get the green fruit, after all, this was the first time he had seen this strange fruit. However, there were several giant rats entrenched under the blood-red stone platform, and the light of the green fruit shone right on the group of giant rats.

Then, Nie Yuan was shocked to find that these giant rats were actually changing under the light of the green fruit. This change is that their bodies are getting bigger, even a little change, it has not escaped Nie Yuan's eight eyes.

"It turns out that the rats here have the body of an adult cat, and it is because of the green fruit on the head of the tree ape that their bodies have evolved."

This is a major discovery, but also an unexpected surprise, if you get the fruit of evolution, your weak spider body, can be solved.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Nie Yuan was ready to act now.
