"First of all, why are these unheard of creatures so rare? I don't believe that they are a species of alien beasts that have only recently been born, but what is it that makes them rarely appear in people's sight?" the crow dug into the ground a few times, and then pulled out a dark brown earthworm with its tail, its long body twisting and struggling in the air, obviously very uncomfortable with this new environment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Most earthworms live in shallow soil, and they occasionally come to the surface, so you can see the traces they leave on the ground. The crow shook the earthworm in his hand and said, "No one knows what the habits of the earthworms of the alien beast are, but from the existing situation, it is speculated that perhaps due to their size, they live in a deeper underground, such as a depth of several hundred meters, and basically do not come out without special circumstances, so as to explain why few people encounter them." ”

"Maybe. Rose thought and said, "You go on." ”

"But it's not absolute. The crow raised the earthworm in his hand and sent it to Mi Xin to make a scary appearance, and was bored in Mi Xin's idiot-like gaze, so he could only say whimfully, "Ordinary earthworms like me in my hand, they only have food in their minds, and other actions are instinctive reactions." If the habits of the earthworms are the same as them, then they often come out of the depths of the earth for only one reason, and that is food, a lot of food. ”

"Isn't their food dirt?" the female leopard said strangely, scratching her head, "as the hunting bow said just now, they eat dirt." ”

"Have you ever seen an animal that can live by eating only soil? "Obedient listen to everything, they eat dirt to absorb organic matter from the soil, such as plant fragments and the decomposing residues of animal carcasses." Of course, this is the recipe for an ordinary earthworm, and if it is an alienated earthworm that is hundreds or thousands of times larger in size, then for its size, the complete corpse is almost like a residue. ”

"You mean, there's a lot of corpses here?" Rose thought for a moment and added, "Exactly, there used to be a lot of corpses here, and they were decomposing to attract the giant earthworms to the ground?"

"It's not certain whether it's rotting or not, but I'm inclined to at least start to rot badly. The crow nodded, "They will only perceive the decaying liquid when it seeps into the soil." ”

"Unreasonable. Rose directly denied the crow's conjecture, "If it was so easy to seduce them, then all the battlefields, including those destroyed cities, would have been overrun by giant earthworms, and it would be impossible for so few people to know about their existence." ”

"No, I don't think it makes sense. Cao Jue pondered and said, "The crow's conjecture is still possible, but a premise is needed, that is, they have come from the deep underground to the shallow, and they are just nearby, so that they can detect the corpse components contained in the soil, that is, they have crossed the line one step first." ”

"Does crossing the border mean leaving one's own territory?" the raven guessed.

"No, it has nothing to do with territory, I'm talking about another kind of transgression. Cao Jue explained, "The fox on the snow field will not hunt on the warm grassland, and the lion on the plain will not go to the high mountains to fight with the tiger for territory. There is generally only one circumstance in which an animal will cross the line. ”

"Be forced to be helpless. The crow's eyes were suddenly for a while, and he said with a smile, "Only when you are cornered by a strong enemy will you flee to an unsuitable environment, after all, it is very dangerous to operate in an unfamiliar environment." ”

"Yes. Cao Jue replied affirmatively, "So when we encounter creatures that cross the border during hunting, we are all very careful, because it is difficult to say whether they are chasing some kind of enemy that is much stronger than them." ”

"Can such a powerful beast earthworm be cornered?" Rose said in disbelief, "There are no large creatures in the depths of the soil, and if they can threaten the giant earthworm, does this kind of enemy really exist?"

"Remember what we encountered on the way here?" said Raven with a strange smile, "it was the time when everyone had a great time." ”

"Demons. Rose and the crow reacted the same way just now, and said suddenly, "Yes, the demon spirits are not only active on the ground, the soil is meaningless to them, and they can also move normally in the dirt." If the tide of spirits spread deep underground, it wouldn't be surprising to disturb them. ”

"We don't know the cause of that demon tide, and I even suspect it now, because they caused it. The crow explained, "I have just observed through the big black that the diameter of the potholes on the ground is obviously different from each other, and it can be seen that at least a dozen earthworms of different thicknesses have moved over there. ”

"It's just more than a dozen, and it may not be able to trigger the demon spirit tide. Cao Jue vetoed, "Strange beasts are often two or three hundred together to attract the demon spirit tide,"

"The stronger the alien beast, the smaller the limit number needed, and God knows how many earthworms this alien beast needs to be able to trigger the demon spirit tide. The crow insisted on his opinion, "Moreover, when encountering a demon tide, it must be fleeing in different directions, which is already the instinct of creatures." In other words, more than a dozen of them just fled here and finally asked for the number of demon spirit tides, and maybe more giant earthworms fled deeper underground. ”

"There's little value in discussing that. Rose interrupted the pointless argument between the two, "Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter if someone sends them an invitation, it's the result that they come up." ”

"Yes, they're coming up. The crow and Cao Jue glanced at each other and did not continue arguing, "Then there is the problem I said, under normal circumstances, after they escaped from the invasion of the demon spirits, they should return to the underground, but they did not do this, but were attracted to the surface instead. The only way to do this is the temptation of food. As for the source of the corpses that attract them, hehe, after the demon spirit crosses, there is no shortage of all kinds of corpses. ”

"When they're done eating, they're probably going back to the familiar depths of the stratum, where they're most accustomed to, and then there's a lot of caves and death traps left on the ground. ”

"So you think they're full and gone?" asked Rose, "is the only thing that threatens us now is the hollow underground?" ”

"No, on the contrary, I don't think they're full. The crow was silent for a while, and then suddenly showed a crow-like smile, "Hunting bow, are you interested in walking around with me?"
