Chapter 590: Ecology and Territory

Boom ——!!

The sound of a huge explosion swept in all directions with a wave of impact, and the powerful force tore apart the encirclement where the ghosts gathered in an instant.

Large swaths of insects were smashed by shrapnel, pierced by splashing stones, and even directly crushed by the impact into corpse juice, which was splashed down from the sky.

Many insects were picked up by the storm and scattered messily.

Many of the people who were running were directly hit by this impact, some stumbled directly to the ground, some rolled forward on the ground, and quickly stood up and sprinted forward.

Buzz Buzz......

There was a rapid flapping of wings, and the ghost, which had been shattered for a moment, seemed to be enraged.

The blue light on their bodies was brighter, their wings flapped even more, and behind the exit, long rivers of turquoise were swarming from there, gathering all over the world and rushing to the people in front of them.

Man Lin endured the pain and climbed the low wall quickly.

He was swept by the shock wave just now, and although he was not seriously injured, the force of the impact alone made him feel a lot of pain.

At this time, he climbed the wall and jumped directly into the water.

The continuous splashing of water on the surface of the water is continuous, like dumplings, one after another.

Before the people who had just fallen into the water could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the turquoise ghost surging in, instantly submerging the wall, and a scream rang out in it.

With this scream, they suddenly became agitated and immediately dived underwater.

The next moment-

Boom ——!!!

The strong explosion shook all directions, and the sturdy wall collapsed directly in this explosion, countless stone bullets flew in all directions, and a group of ghosts was penetrated and crushed, and these groups of people gathered like ghost fire were directly swept away.

However, explosions are limited in the end, and so is the scope of the explosion.

Although it frightened the ghosts for a short time, it didn't take long for the group of monsters to gather again, hovering above the river, and even spreading upstream and downstream along the river.

After a long time, these little guys were unwilling to evacuate and retreated again.

A moment later.

Whoa......

Patches of water appeared one after another, and heads stuck out of the river, and these people gasped and breathed rapidly.

They were going to dive away, but unexpectedly, the ghost followed them closely for a while. It wasn't until they really left that they dared to poke their heads out and breathe heavily.

"It's alive......" Man Lin let out a long breath, full of emotion, his eyes swept down the people around him, even him, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, the wave of action just now lost five people!

Although he brought a lot of people this time, these were all elites, and one died and one was less.

What's more, according to the agreement, except for a few disciples in Henggang, if he goes back this time, these people are all his team!

However, just now, it is lucky enough to survive, and the others cannot be counted on.

"Old Dragon, what should I do? Shall we continue along this river? Long Tiansheng's face remained unchanged, he looked at the somewhat tired people, and then looked around: "Go from here first, even if you want to go from somewhere else, there is no way at present." ”

"As for what's next...... Let's wait until we find a new way. "It's such a danger here, and every step can be a danger that is difficult to fight."

"A lot of times, someone has to take the initiative to sacrifice, otherwise no one will survive."

When he said this, he looked at Man Lin, and then at Henggang.

Henggang nodded slightly: "I know that the necessary sacrifices are indispensable, and they were ready when they came." However, now is not the time, and you know who they are dealing with. ”

Man Lin frowned, and nodded slightly unwillingly: "Don't worry, I know, old dragon, you should hurry up and set the next course of action." ”

Long Tiansheng nodded and looked at the position where everyone began to command.

It's true that it's dangerous outside the water, but isn't it safe underwater?

Any negligence can cause a major crisis.

………………………………

Well?

Jiang Xian and the others looked around with eyes that suddenly froze, their ears trembled slightly, listening to the sound that came, feeling the vibration under their feet, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Lin Ruoxue said: "They are using grenades again, listening to the sound should be about the same height as we are, and the direction should be ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, another voice and a tremor came, this time more violent and violent than before.

"It seems that Old Man Long and they have suffered a lot of trouble." Ling Xiaozi said with some schadenfreude: "Tsk, I really want to see what this senior master looks like now." ”

"Let's leave others alone." Jiang Xian shook his head, and his eyes fell on the holes above: "You have all seen the figure just now." ”

The two shopkeepers and Zhang Shuwen both looked solemn and nodded.

"Do you see what that is?"

"No, it's too fast." The shopkeeper frowned and shook his head: "I just saw a shadow, but in terms of general shape, that thing is at least more than a meter tall." ”

More than a meter tall......

"In that case, it can't be the bugs of the past." Zhang Shuwen frowned and said, "After we came in, almost all the things we saw were caused by all kinds of strange insects, except for the swimming fish just now. ”

"There are other land creatures here?"

"How fresh." Ling Xiaozi said with a smile: "Even if the survival requirements of the insects themselves are low, but after so many years here, they can still maintain such a population, it must have an ecological cycle, and it is obviously not enough to rely on insects alone." ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Zhang Shuwen shook his head and said, "I mean...... What kind of creatures can live here without being killed by those bugs? ”

Well?

Everyone's expressions suddenly froze.

Jiang Xian nodded on the side and said: "That's right, Zhang Shuwen is right, whether it is a ghost or that blood worm, they are both strongly aggressive and exclusive, looking at their posture, they will not consider whether the food is enough to eat." ”

"If that were the case, the bugs would have been fighting each other a long time ago."

"But right now, there is conflict between them, but not to the level of intensity that kills each other and feeds each other."

"That is, they have always had other stable sources of food."

"And with their greed, they can't completely devour the food they come from." Lin Ruoxue added on the side: "In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that there is too much food to eat. ”

Jiang Xian shook his head and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the number of those bugs will have to multiply many times, and it's right to be all over here." ”

"The other is to have a safe zone, like the fish in the water, that is, to deal with these bugs."

The North Shopkeeper frowned slightly: "A safe zone on land? There shouldn't be a place on land where those bugs can't go, unless ......"

"There's something that restrains them, makes them fearful, makes them feel difficult or unresistible."

"It's like the method that Mr. Jiang used before."

When these words came out, several people present were slightly stunned, Xiang Yunfei swallowed his saliva, and the shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Is it possible, we will face the legendary monster next?" ”

"Peace of mind, not not not quit." Ling Xiaozi snorted on the side: "It's all conjecture, if it's really that powerful, those bugs should starve to death, even if there are spirits, they are at most similar to bugs, otherwise how to maintain balance." ”

"For us, those big guys are easier to deal with than small ones like bugs, right?"

Zuo Mingfeng nodded: "I brought a sniper rifle in my backpack, if it is a big guy, it is easier to aim, relatively speaking, it is indeed those bugs that are more difficult to deal with." ”

Jiang Xian looked at a few people: "If there are really guys who confront those bugs, there will also be a group of predators." ”

"Those are the common food of insects and monsters, otherwise a complete ecological cycle cannot be built."

"In this case, the bugs and the unknown monsters in here, as well as those predators, there should be their own areas between them, and the periphery we were on before belonged to the bugs' area, but when we got here, we walked for half a day, and we didn't see those bugs."

"Instead, the figure that flashed by appeared."

Zhang Shuwen immediately said: "Mr. Jiang, you mean, this is the area that belongs to that part of the monsters?" ”

"It's possible, and there may not be no bug area in the area of the monster, but there is a general distinction between them." Jiang Xian looked around: "Otherwise, where should the two of them compete for food?" ”

"Those preyators must be surrounded by monsters and bugs."

"There should also be plants and water for them to live and grow."

Jiang Xian took a step forward, his eyebrows raised slightly: "And if you calculate it this way, there will definitely be an intersection point, a node, and a point where multiple waterways and roads converge." ”

"Otherwise, there will be no way to feed enough predators for these bugs and monsters to survive and grow."

Everyone couldn't help but nod, with a serious look on their faces.

Jiang Xian's words did not explain, but they all understood that according to this calculation and speculation, there would be no shortcuts to their next path, all the roads would converge there, and there would be more and more monsters and higher and higher dangers on the path they took.

But they have no choice.

Steady progress and caution are the only things they can do.

Jiang Xian walked in the front, the map in his mind changed and compared, and at the same time, his ears listened to the surroundings and his eyes probed the surroundings.

His eyes and Lin Ruoxue on the side looked at each other slightly, and they both nodded imperceptibly.

Just now, while they were analyzing, both of them heard an extremely small voice.

A subtle grinding sound!
