The compound eye monster does not have any power of faith on its body, but is constantly absorbing the magma secreted by the Ancestral Turtle. This magma is the power of faith of the Ancestral Turtle.

The compound eye monster insects that were concentrating on sucking magma didn't notice the forest night above their heads, their fly wings vibrated slightly, and some of the monster insects even started to fight because they didn't suck the magma.

One of the monsters jerked open the compound eye on the lump, and a red ray of light shot out of the eye, hitting the other companion. The latter was immediately hit by the light, and immediately fell forward and backwards, its forelimbs had nowhere to borrow force in the air, and it waved for a while before finally allowing its body to flip over.

Looking down, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of such intersections, and almost every magma vent was surrounded by a dozen or twenty of these strange insects, which were like parasites of the Archaeopteryx.

However, these magma vents seem to have been set up for these compound-eyed monsters, otherwise their existence would be meaningless except for wasting energy. In this world, only the parasite actively evolves or changes to adapt to the environment of the host's body, and there is no host who actively undergoes physical changes in order to adapt to the parasite.

Could it be that they are actually mutually beneficial and symbiotic?

Lin Ye immediately thought of aphids and ants.

In modern known research, a colony of ants breeds and cares for a colony of aphids. Some people put potted plants at home, or cultivate flowers and plants, even if they live in high-rise buildings, after a period of time, aphids will attack these potted flowers and plants.

This is not because aphids are ubiquitous, can fly and jump, and can climb tens of meters high in just a few days, and stay precisely on top of potted plants, but because of the more common ants, which actively carry aphids from the ground to these flowers and plants.

They do this for the simple reason that aphids are able to secrete a sap that is very sweet to ants. Ants take care of the aphids, they crawl on the aphid-infested plants, and as long as they pat the aphids with their antennae, the aphids will secrete a part of the sweet juice converted by the sap of the plants they eat through their abdomen for the ants to feed.

The Archaeopteryx is like a giant aphid, and the magma gushing out of its back is a rare delicacy for these compound-eyed monsters.

But ants and aphids, even if they are separated from each other, can survive, and it is not that one cannot live without the other.

Judging from the image observed by Lin Ye, the conditions for the survival of compound eye monster insects are very harsh, and they must rely on magma to survive, and at the same time, it seems that their appetite is quite large, and such creatures cannot escape from the Archaeopteryx at all, but survive alone.

And if you reason further, it will be difficult for the Archaeopteryx to survive alone after it has escaped from the compound eye monster.

Lin Ye thought in his heart, and he tried to explain the situation he saw in front of him with the symbiotic relationship of biology. The knowledge he learned in modern times has played a very important role before he knew it.

Is it an extreme symbiosis?

Just by seeing these compound-eyed monster insects, Lin Ye thought of many possible situations in his mind, and finally made a suitable judgment.

Without the help of the system, Lin Ye had to rely on himself to make a judgment on the situation.

Inference: The compound eye monster is not a parasite, its existence is beneficial to the Archaeopteryx, and the Archaeopteryx must rely on it!

What this means, it goes without saying!

Lin Ye's vigilance was suddenly raised, he held his breath, slightly increased the altitude of his flight, and clinged to the black mist, and at the same time, his mind moved, activating the stealth skill.

From Lin Ye's tail to his head, Lin Ye's body gradually became transparent.

The compound eye monsters at their feet seemed to sense something, and they let out a noisy buzzing sound, and collectively raised their heads to look at the sky. Lin Ye, who was already in an invisible state, suddenly felt countless lines of sight sweeping over him. If he hadn't activated the stealth skill in time, he would have been discovered by thousands of compound eye monster insects by now.

In addition to the compound eye monster insects, Lin Ye also found several different strange insects in these strange insect swarms. Among them was a creature that resembled an euglena, its entire body soaked in a lava vent, and several compound eyes, its pupils filled with fiery magma. It occupies most of the magma mouth's energy, but the compound eye monsters around it have no complaints at all, and are very polite to this strange eye worm.

So far, Lin Ye still hasn't found out where the believers of the Ancestral Turtle are.

There is a very easy way to find the followers of the Ancestral Tortoise.

The power of faith contributed by the believers will be integrated into the totem, and the Ancestral Turtle must go through the totem if it wants to invoke the power of faith.

Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the second part of the city in the distance.

There are thirty such volcanoes as lava-like circular eruptions, and at the foot of each volcano are four hemispherical red domes, each covering an area as large as the swamp branch established by the Psittacosaurus.

And this second part, which is equivalent to the area of nearly two hundred swamp branches, has far exceeded the area of Sun City.

After the volcano erupted, the magma slid down the mountainside to the dome and merged into the dome. Lin Ye couldn't see the specific situation inside, he just saw that after the dome came into contact with the magma, it shone a little, and then inside the dome, there was a violent heartbeat sound.

With a thud, a huge wave of sound spread out from the dome, spreading to the periphery in one fell swoop, dispersing the black fog above.

The volcano that erupted magma was emitting a thick black fog, and a large part of the black fog was the source of this, and together with the black fog spewed out by the Ancestor Turtle, they formed a perfect black fog defense system.

Lin Ye looked up at the third part on the turtle's back again, and the thick black mist was rolling, completely blocking all of Lin Ye's vision. No matter what there was over there, it wasn't something that Lin Ye could peep into.

The body of the Archaeoptor Turtle has undergone obvious modifications, and in the second part of its tortoise shell, on the left and right sides, eighteen winding mountain paths are up to 100 meters wide, and continue to descend, and when they reach the belly of the Archaeopteryx, they begin to split into four paths, each leading to the limbs of the Archaeopteryx. Due to the size of the Ancestral Turtle, Lin Ye could not see the end of these paths

No matter which part it was, Lin Ye didn't see any separate power of faith, which proved that the Ancestor Turtle didn't use the power of faith in the totem at all. And Lin Ye didn't find any believers.

Could it be that —

Lin Ye's breathing suddenly stopped.
