Chapter 139: Giant Earth Tiger

The members of the corps formed an orderly squad and were busy on the ground, and under the black entrance, traps were laid one after another.

A thin layer of mist hung over the swamp, and blood-colored tentacles loomed in the mist, hanging down somewhere in the swamp in front of them.

For a Shadow Swamp that is nearly 50 miles wide, this is far from the center of the swamp, not even the depths.

After making sure that there were no other monsters ambushing inside some ancient trees, the Doomsday Warriors arranged the food they needed neatly, which was not only a bait, but also a killing opportunity.

In the sights of the past before the end of the world, the swamps were full of greenery, the trees shaded the sky, the reeds were tall enough to be lost, and the lush plants and wild fruits were a paradise for any small animal

But when the end came, the climate changed. Countless uplifted glaciers lie in the streets, hanging upside down on broken mountains and rivers.

The climate had changed, and there was not a trace of greenery in sight in the dead swamp jungle, except for the occasional mutated and rotting humanoid frog and the indescribable cries of unknown insects coming from the forest crevices.

Other than that, there is the roar that is both in the distance and in the ears. Unknown monsters lurk in the darkness, and no one knows if an even more terrible catastrophe may befall them.

Twisted dead trees reveal criss-crossed roots, and wet mud mixes with pools of water to form a continent large enough for creatures to walk on, covered in oddly shaped claw marks, devoid of life.

Lin Yetian's expression was very hard, he picked up a heavy boulder and put it in a hidden trap as a supplement, put it down, picked it up again, and after doing it more than a dozen times in a row, he looked very tired.

"What are you doing...... Xue Muyan said slowly and wonderingly.

"Fish and paddle. Lin Yetian didn't look back and said casually. Beneath his busy slightly frowning exterior, only he knew how light the weight of the stone in his hand really was.

Xue Muyan silently rolled her eyes and looked around vigilantly. Putting aside the matter about Charlotte for the time being, the blood clotted before did give her a vague sense of unease.

The surrounding doomsday warriors were very careful about their feet, and began to use their canes to find the way out of safety to prevent the bloody hands that might suddenly drill out of the swamp, which was much better than Lin Yetian standing still and staring at the swamp stupidly trying to frighten the bloody hands below with his gaze.

Until several Doomsday Warriors left the swamp road and walked completely into the swampy jungle, they were still unharmed.

Even the delicate body Meng Ping is silently recording the data around her with pen and paper, and the changes in these values are very important for a biologist.

The natural light began to take on an eerie turn, and the dappled glow penetrated the gaps between the dead branches, making the swamp somewhat dark. I heard mosquitoes on the road before, and I don't know when the sound of the old ones started, and the surroundings were quiet.

The gloomy and cold atmosphere couldn't shake Lin Yetian, except for pretending to feel cold and pretending to sneeze and making a fuss from time to time and pretending that there were monsters behind him to scare the people around him, he was actually a little bored.

Weaving through the twisted and dry shadows of the trees, occasionally gazing at the sky in the sparse jungle clearing, the cold moonlight pouring down, and still a long way to reach dawn.

"Wow, Xiaoyan pig, you're lazy again! Why don't I pretend to be a little bit! As a result, you just stayed motionless on the ground, which makes me feel very shameless!" Lin Yetian, who was a little bored, rolled his eyes, and complained like Xue Muyan without words.

Xue Muyan didn't pay much attention to Lin Yetian, who was making trouble, and her eyes fell on a strange bulge. Some doubts alouded like the people around him asked:

"Guys, what are you talking about a ground tiger?"

"It was a crawling creature that lived beneath the dry surface and created funnel-shaped traps in sandy soil to trap its prey. ”

"Its body was nearly spindle-shaped, with a disgusting head and a small prothorax, a more developed mid-hind thorax, and a large and decaying abdomen filled with the corpses and feces of various creatures. ”

"Its body is covered with bristle hairs, and each tumor is filled with the bones of various small animals, which will be spit out after a certain period of time. ”

"The head is generally flattened, with a pair of powerful curved tubes shaped like pincers at the tip, which can be inserted into the bone marrow of living beings at any time, draining all living things into a kind of white bone, chewing and devouring them again. ”

It is a pair of jaw tubes formed by the upper and lower jaws respectively, called double-piercing suction mouthparts. The adult is similar to damselfly, but has long antennae, and can prey on small insects such as mosquitoes and flies before the end of the world. This monster resembles a mutated spider, with a small head and a pair of large jaws, and usually walks backwards. ”

"If there are no accidents, even mutated ground tigers are usually left to ambush in dark sand pits or swamps. Waiting for the prey to enter their death trap. ”

A somewhat familiar voice came from Xue Muyan's ears, and she turned her head in surprise, and Charlotte's figure came into view.

"What, are you surprised?" Charlotte smiled sweetly and said softly with a very green tea look, "These...... But it's all common sense...... Sister Xue doesn't know much, does she? No, no, no?"

"No, no, no, there really isn't anyone who doesn't know what a ground tiger is!"

"What the hell are you from, hey!"

Xue Muyan glared fiercely at Lin Yetian, who was not a big deal, and said angrily. The latter scratched his head, shrank his head in a fluke, and kept silent very simply.

Meng Ping, who was recording data, saw this scene, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she continued to lower her head without saying a word.

"Sister Xue looks like she's fierce...... Brother Yetian is so pitiful......" Charlotte's pretended weak voice came from the side, and the gloating in her expression was obvious.

Xue Muyan turned her head to look at Charlotte, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "I think, I don't need to worry about Miss Xia's family affairs with Yetian, right?"

"Family Matters...... So I'm actually your father?" said Lin Yetian.

Xue Muyan's eyes froze.

Lin Yetian, who was afraid that Xue Muyan would be angry, hurriedly opened his mouth and diverted the topic: "Eh, hey, Xiaoyan Xiaoyan, what did you just say about the ground tiger?

"It's a ground tiger, not a gecko!" Xue Muyan said angrily, and when she finally remembered this incident, she then looked at the bulge not far away, and a bad feeling emerged in her heart:

"If by definition...... Earth tigers are usually ambushed underground......"

"That's right. ”

"So...... Is it underneath the hills that look like hills, is it underground?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads.

The hill-like sand dunes were rapidly rising to the height of several stories in a few moments!
