The pit was only twenty centimeters in diameter and five centimeters deep, and it was too small for one ancient squid to squeeze in, but Ika still squeezed all ten ancient squid into the pit.

Because they don't have a skeleton, it's still okay to shrink, and here, they replenish the most important water, and Ika has a different attitude than he did in the first place to open the way before danger, Ika squeezed to the lowest depth this time, and this place is the least susceptible to dryness, because, now that some time has passed, the night is no longer calm.

The cold wind blew through the canyons, reverberating incessantly...... The sound of 'whew', this sound is like the scream of death for the ancient squid, it is like constantly sweeping away the vitality of the ancient squid, bringing the water in the puddle up to the air little by little, dissipating away......

The ancient squid could only shrink deeper and wait for the air flow to stop......

However, the cold wind in the canyon continued, it made the ground more dry and cracked, and the water became scarcer, and the bodies of the two ancient squid leaning on the top were already exposed, and although they were covered in shark skin, the water was still being blown dry.

The wind lasted for about 10,800 seconds, and only after feeling that the wind had stopped, did Ika decide to continue on his journey, it was obvious that they could not stay in the small crater.

As Ika prepares to leave the puddle with the herd, two of its kind have already died on the top floor, and Ika looks at them for a full ten seconds before finally making a decision.

Eat them.

Ancient squid generally do not eat their own kind, but at critical moments it is different, they quickly devour the corpses of their own kind, and recover their bodies for the next advance.

The time to set off was not long in coming. Ika led her people out of the puddle. Move on to the next goal.

What's next? In the dark night when the wind stopped. Ika climbed to the front, using her sense of smell to orient herself.

They were now passing through an area of rubble with sharp rubble that cut scars on their tentacles, and a creature that hid among the larger pieces of rubble......

Known as the Shadow Seeker, this creature is a terrifying creature that can be silent...... Interest-free ......

"Goo!" Suddenly, there was a scream. An ancient squid walking behind the line disappeared...... But when Ika and the other ancient squid turned their heads to look, they saw nothing.

'Goo! There was another scream, and another squid that was walking behind disappeared, and it disappeared in the eyes of Ika and the other squid, as if it had been dragged directly into the shadows.

Ika instantly turned into a colorful color, which was a sign of escape, and the other ancient squid immediately rushed to their feet, although they couldn't be fast, they had already used all their strength......

Screams kept coming from behind them, and death followed them with the shadows of the night. By the time Ika and the others escaped from the rubble, there were only five ancient squid left, including Ika.

Ika's desperate run was not in vain. Not far from the gravel area, there is a small puddle.

This puddle is 30 centimeters in diameter, and although it is still not as big as it was at the beginning, it is at least a little more comfortable.

They weren't hungry now because they had eaten the corpses of their kind before, Ika looked at the night sky where the starlight was slowly fading, and it knew that the night's journey was over, the daytime sunlight made it impossible for them to move, and it had to wait for the next night...... The next windless night......

The sun rises, rolls, and ends during the day, which seems to be a simple thing, but the sun in this day seems to be very hot, and its light makes the water in the puddle slowly warmer, and Ika and its people are like purgatory, but there is nowhere to go.

Fortunately, when the temperature was high enough to kill the ancient squid, the sun slowly rolled out of the canyon, and eventually, the darkness of the sky symbolized the coming of night.

It's time to set out again.

Ika put on the shark skin and continued to climb out of the puddle, and its colony followed, Ika did not know which direction it was going, only that it had to crawl in the darkness of the night, looking for puddle after puddle, until it found a puddle large enough to live in, and it might wait there for rain.

It may never be able to return to the sea, but it will lead its people to live hard!

Ika is now crawling dry sand, and its goal is 'the smell of the nearest water' every time it advances, so it will try to reach it no matter how tough the road is.

There was a strange 'ah~ah~' sound in the sandy air, a creature called a flying lizard, a lizard that could evolve to fly in the air for a short time.

But Ika didn't have time to worry about the lizard, as a nine-centimeter-long sandy cricket appeared in front of his eyes.

Although the large arthropods are no longer there, the small ones are more threatening than the big ones for the ancient squid, and the cricket's eyes are glaring at Ika, its hind legs slowly folded, and it is ready to launch a leaping attack......

'Bang! ’

Suddenly, a black sap streaked through the air, and it hit the cricket's back with precision, and the rancid smell on it made the cricket feel extremely uncomfortable and began to wipe it frantically with its legs, at which point another sharp stone chip flew and pierced the cricket's head.

This attack was not done by Ika, but ...... Other ancient squid.

Behind the cricket, a group of thirty ancient squid appeared, all of which followed behind a large ancient squid.

So Ika is in this position?

The leader of this group of ancient squids is called 'Tucker' by the head worms, and they are also one of the ancient squid groups that are willing to move out of the pit, but because the puddle where they are located is relatively large, it is a huge water storage point with a diameter of more than seven meters and a depth of more than one meter, so they do not look for puddles everywhere like Ika, but after the food in the pit is eaten, they still come out to look for food, and because of the large community, Tucker can hunt a lot of food.

As if they hadn't seen the Ika, Tucker's tribe dragged the crickets back, and Ika immediately followed, following them into the huge puddle.

Ika and his people jumped into it without hesitation when they saw the huge puddle, and seeing them follow, Tucker finally had an opinion, and he rushed to Ika, changing its brilliant colors to signify something.

Apparently, Tucker is reluctant for them to enter the puddle and has the potential to kill them.

Although this pit is large, the resources are still limited.

Therefore, Ika disagrees, and it also exudes the same brilliant colors, indicating that it wants to challenge Tucker!

When the head worm saw this, suddenly the image of the person who appeared disappeared.

"Here we are, Maya."

With Lynn's voice, another image appeared, and in the midst of it, a vast continent appeared. (To be continued......)
