Chapter 170: The Primordial Squid Tribe

It was another night shrouded in darkness, and the little creatures struggling to survive in the canyon began to move quietly again.

It is called 'Ika', it is the leader of the community, it has wisdom, it has strength, it is a symbol of the future!

That's what the head worm says, and in fact, the name 'Ika' is also given by the head worm.

Ika led the group to obtain a large amount of shark meat by the waterhole and solved the problem of food, but the water in the waterhole is now getting less and less, and the space that used to be one meter deep and three meters wide has shrunk by more than half after they have eaten most of the sharks......

Although the squid hunts in groups, they usually don't like to be crowded together, and in the face of smaller and smaller spaces, although they are only ten centimeters long, they also begin to be irritable because of crowding.

They all sensed that death was looming, and in the face of this situation, Ika had to come up with a new way to get out of here.

Thinking of the need for water to get out of the puddle to ensure that it doesn't dry up, Ika approached the shark carcass on the shore again with a sharp rock, and used the stone to cut the shark's skin off.

Ika wrapped the cut shark skin around her body, as well as her gills, which she found to be effective in preventing water loss, but it didn't come to mind out of the blue, but rather it remembered that the water would be slow to dissipate when it burrowed into the shark's body and cut the flesh.

It may not know that the air can take away moisture, but it knows that if there is something to cover it, the water will stay.

Here's what the head worm said: "Ika, the behavior is interesting, and the expression xiàn is intellectual." It is worth observing. Eliminate boredom. ”

And with it. Ika took the skin back to the puddle and gave it to his companions, who saw Ika dragging a piece of shark skin back, and at first did not understand what it meant, but avoided it because of its shark skin, as if they were a little frightened.

The ancient squid actually rejects peers who behave abnormally, and the head worm almost watches while saying, "Reject anomalies, stupid behavior, and obliterate the opportunity to learn." ”

Ika's confusion about her companions. It dropped the sharkskin and began to change color, as if trying to explain something to its companion, but its companion didn't seem to understand and still cowered to the side and did nothing.

Then Ika couldn't do anything, and he began to do nothing, just like his companions, in a daze among the puddles.

After all, their brains are not too big to expect too much, and there is at least a lot of water in the puddle right now. They may want to wait for the sky to rain, or they are simply destined to die in this puddle......

That doesn't seem to be the case.

Day and night passed. The water in the puddle is also getting less and less, now the water in the puddle is only one meter wide, only about ten centimeters deep, the ancient squid can no longer stand upright in the water, they are now starting to panic more and more, and some even start to want to run out, but when they find that they are facing endless dryness, they immediately flee back.

At this point, Ika stepped forward again, grabbed a piece of sharkskin that he had thrown at the time, put it on one of his kind, and made it climb out of the puddle again......

That's when it learned what the Ika leader thought.

Eka then asked a few of his companions to try to take the shark skin out, and the whole group began to understand that they had once again come to the shark carcass and cut out a piece of shark skin of just the right size for each of them.

Although the carcasses of sharks have long since dried up, if they take the skin back and soak in the water, there will be no problem.

After everyone has dressed, it's finally time to go! Ika must lead their fellow citizens out of the puddle and to another location.

What's the other location? Where there is more water and, if possible, more food.

Ika should have thought so, but before it could find this wonderful place, it needed to make its way through this treacherous canyon......

Ika slowly surfaced, looking into the distance of the puddle.

After passing over the shark's carcass, it was a strange world for them, under the scorching sun, the sky was full of rock fragments like mountain peaks, the cracked earth was emitting heat waves that distorted the air, and the huge dragonflies that flew by in the air from time to time terrified it.

However, if you stay forever, you will die, so Ika plans to take a 'gamble', and what about death? Or is it life? Only its fate can tell it......

That's how the head worm guessed its thoughts, and at the same time, the head worm also said: "Brain, if you think a lot, you will become stronger." ”

At the same time, Lynn's Flyer looks like a giant vein dragonfly, as if it scares them, so Lin plans to keep the Flyer in a state of discoloration all the time.

By the end of the second day and night, Ika had taken a shark's skin, grabbed a small sharp stone, and led his people out of the smaller and smaller puddle and on a journey into the unknown.

The ancient squid is very cooperative in the water, but not in the water on land, they are covered in shark skin, crawling slowly on the ground with tentacles, and the canyon in the dark night is quite dangerous, even so, Ika, as the leader of the group, still climbs to the front, leading the whole group to move.

The head worm that looks in front of the person who shows it has commented: "The leader is ahead, stupid, easy to get hurt, die, bad for the race." ”

Lin commented: This brain worm is really interesting.

In the canyon of the Northern Continent, Ika was still struggling to move, they had already crossed the shark's carcass, a full five meters away from the puddle, they had never gone that far, but the moisturizing effect of the shark's skin was indeed very good.

The gills of the ancient squid continued to breathe as long as it was wet, but the cracked ground made Ika's tentacles uncomfortable, and so did the rest of his companions, the last one lying on the ground with difficulty even moving.

Ika tried to find other sources of water, and it had already smelled water two meters in front of it.

Find water, find life......

Ika's body turned blue, and he said to the other ancient squid of the tribe that he had found the target, and all the ancient squid instantly accelerated their blood flow, and their emotions became extremely excited, including the one who couldn't move before, and at this time they all seemed to come to life, and they crawled forward frantically, which was 10% faster than the previous climb!

But in front of them, a boulder blocked the way of the ancient squid.

The boulder was a fragment of a floating island, two meters long and thirty centimeters high, an obstacle that they could not overcome.

The water in the shark's skin began to slowly run out, and Ika was unable to lead the pack around the rock.

What should it do?

"Roll, faster, faster." In this regard, the head worms raised the building yì, although they did not hear.

Ika and the group stayed in front of the rock for about ten seconds, and the slow dissipation of the moisture on its body forced it to make a quick decision, that is...... Crawl over.

Ika used the suction cups on his tentacles to stick to the walls of the rock, climbing up little by little, and a few of the tribes behind it began to try, but their skills were not so good, they were not very good at sucking up smooth rocks, and they fell down several times.

Ika was almost at the top, but its race was barely making progress, and it looked at its people, probably thinking about whether to abandon them and leave on their own. Or to help them?

But before it could decide, a creature suddenly appeared in front of Ika.

It was a lava spider, and under this oxygen range, the monster that could grow to tens of meters was now only a dozen centimeters, about the size of Ika, and it seemed to have just climbed onto the rock, and at the same time saw Ika on the rock.

It's like a brain worm seeing a barbecue.

The lava spider was only about ten centimeters away from Ika, and it suddenly attacked Ika! The lava spider's large teeth inject hot liquid, killing prey more effectively than normal toxins.

But before the Lava Spider could rush over, Ika attacked, spewing a stream of black liquid that spilled onto the Lava Spider's eight eyes.

This defensive black sap also has a rancid smell, which is usually used to escape predators, but this time it became the way to attack, the spider was very uncomfortable because of the sap spray, it desperately wiped its eyes with its forelimbs, and seeing this opportunity, Ika immediately crawled over, and it held up the sharp stone chip it had been holding high, and stabbed it into the spider's head.

It seemed to be piercing into the brain, and the spider stopped moving, but the spray of ink made Ika even more dehydrated, and it had to find a source of water quickly, and at the same time, it found a way to get its companions to climb up.

Ika cut off the spider's leg with a stone chip, because he saw that the spider could run fast on a smooth stone wall, so he immediately thought of using the spider's leg and threw the severed leg to his companion below, so that Ika's companion could use this leg to hook the rock wall and climb up......

However, there were only eight spider legs, and Ika's group had nine ancient squid in addition to itself, so they immediately made the decision to give the weakest one to ...... Pull it up together.

Although they often quarrel with each other, they are unexpectedly united when it is critical.

With spider legs, it was easy for them to get up, and the ancient squid quickly climbed over the rocks to the other side, and at this point, the water finally appeared in front of them!

But before the puddle, there was a twenty-centimeter-long salamander cub lying in front of the puddle.

'Smack! Ika shoved the stone shards into the blowholes and squirted them out at the salamander.

The stone flakes pierced the salamander's head, and although it didn't kill in one hit, it was enough for the salamander to escape.

There's nothing left to stop Ica! Although the puddle it found next was smaller than the previous one. (To be continued......)
