Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Immovable Prey
Xu Yunshu carefully observed the whole process of giving birth to offspring from bamboo shoots underground in the cave, and began to sigh the strangeness of the dream forest.
In this strange forest, there are many things that are beyond the norm at any time.
He understood why he had activated his enhanced sense of smell outside the valley, but still didn't smell a single bit of blood.
This strange way of living is destined to dissolve and absorb all the organic matter of the animal, leaving only useless bones, which are thrown to the ground by the fast-dying plants.
These bones even have the scent of plants and trees.
Xu Yunshu's heart suddenly moved, and saw that although the rain was heavy, it was still acceptable, so he walked out of the cave, and quickly traveled along the road that had been confirmed to be safe before, reaching the ground where the fruits had burrowed, and digging the soil with his claws.
The dark red fruit lay quietly in the shallow pit.
He sniffed lightly with his nose and sensed that the fruit was filled with an astonishing amount of energy, and although it could not fill his stomach, it could replenish what he had consumed.
Today's Xu Yunshu is overconsumed and needs to be replenished urgently.
With a slight bite of his sharp teeth, the fragrance of plants and trees mixed with the smell of starch permeated Xu Yunshu's mouth, and the energy heat flow drilled into his body along the esophagus, which shocked his spirit.
He remembered where the rest of the fruit had fallen.
Braving the heavy rain that fell from the sky, Xu Yunshu pulled out all the rest of the fruits, ingested energy, and made up for the loss of the previous overclocking enhancement, and even had an additional increase surplus.
This underground bamboo shoot is terrifying, but it's a good thing.
The most important thing is that with the rapid growth and death of underground bamboo shoots, there may be many ungrown fruits in this valley.
How terrifying the rotating leaves of the underground bamboo shoot are, how enticing the fruit it bears.
The energy contained in each fruit is equivalent to a second-level predator, which is a huge attraction to Xu Yunshu.
After all, these lovely fruits don't run around, they don't fight back before they die, and they don't have the potential of all kinds of beasts, so they obediently hide in the ground, waiting for someone destined to discover them.
The only question is, what to do if you accidentally step on a trap?
Xu Yunshu still remembers the previous escape from death.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly lost his smile, trapped in the body of the white wolf, and even his thoughts became wild.
Isn't the factor that he can survive and grow in this strange jungle on is that he has a human mind?
The so-called trap, can't it be pierced with a stick long enough?
As for how to dig the fruits of bamboo shoots underground, Xu Yunshu had enough sense of smell at this time to find buried objects in the ground within 20 centimeters.
After all, in the final analysis, there are still small differences in the smell of various plants.
This distance is not enough to avoid traps, but it can reap the fruits.
So, where to go up and find a stick that is hard enough and long enough?
This is certainly not a problem.
Because Xu Yunshu has a horn on the top of his head.
This horn has always been a nuisance to him.
Except for the first hunt, when he encountered a black panther once, when he became proficient in the hunting methods of the white wolf, and found that the claws and teeth were more deadly, he completely abandoned the weapon on his head.
So far, he didn't understand why he had a strange horn.
Now, however, the horn has a new purpose.
The horn on the top of Xu Yunshu's head is about forty centimeters long, and against the backdrop of his huge size, it does not look very abrupt, as long as this horn is strengthened and let it continue to grow in the direction of length, it can become a natural pathfinder stick.
As a third-level predator in his white wolf body, his awakening potential could have changed the original organs and limbs of his body slightly, and this level of enhancement would not consume too much flesh and blood energy.
So he strengthened the giant horn on his head, making it stretch to the limit, becoming a bayonet about one and a half meters long.
When Xu Yunshu saw this white stabbing spear, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
This move seems to be able to attack the enemy by surprise!
This thinking was just a matter of a turning of mind, and Xu Yunshu returned to his current task.
With these two meters of bayonet spear, what trap could trap him?
Xu Yunshu lowered his head, put the bayonet gun against the ground, and turned on the enhanced smell mode to plow the ground easily.
The styling is not elegant, but the result is surprising.
In this small valley, he detected more than 20 deep pit traps, and the sound of blade rubbing one after another was endless.
As for the fruits, there are more than 40 crimson fruits that have not yet grown, and 24 fruits that have taken root and are shaped like giant bean sprouts have also been found.
Without exception, these fruits entered Xu Yunshu's stomach.
This is countless times more efficient than his solo hunting!
Although the energy required to be promoted to the fourth level is ridiculously high, Xu Yunshu finally has the confidence, as long as there are a few more adventures like this, isn't it a matter of course to be promoted?
At this moment, Xu Yunshu floated.
But he had one advantage, his mind remained in a state of rationality at all times, and it only took a few seconds to drag his fluttering soul back into his body.
There are such things as adventures every day, just think about it, if it happens, he will be worried and afraid, for fear of falling into some terrible trap.
Xu Yunshu turned his head again to look at the underground bamboo shoots that were still rubbing the blades repeatedly.
If this thing loses its disguise, it looks pretty stupid.
After all, it's still a plant, and it can't be as sensitive as an animal.
He lay down at the mouth of the trap and observed carefully, and after a long time, he had his own judgment.
These underground bamboo shoots have a unique set of survival rules.
They dig traps and hunt the flesh of animals in reverse, but that doesn't mean their main way of life is that.
At the end of the day, they still use their rhizomes to absorb nutrients to grow.
They create traps to ingest flesh energy, mainly to provide nutrients for reproduction in the final stages of life.
The kinetic energy of this thing is not unlimited, after the trap is activated, the sharp blades begin to rotate and cut, but without the replenishment of flesh energy, the energy accumulated in the plant's body is slowly exhausted, and the kinetic energy gradually stagnates, and finally stops rotating.
Driven by instinct, the underground bamboo shoots still grow little by little, but because there is no stimulation of flesh and blood energy, they do not bear fruit, and after they completely burrow out of the ground, there is no movement.
Xu Yunshu noticed that their stalks were not wooden, and with the hardness of his teeth, they should be able to bite easily, so his mind became active again.
Although this thing is not as dense as the fruit, it can be regarded as high-quality energy that does not move.
There are more than 20 behemoths, Xu Yunshu can't chew them all, but when he uses his claws to cut open the soft skin of the bamboo shoots, he finds that there is a crisp and juicy core inside, which is extremely full of energy, and if this energy is transferred to the fruits, it can probably produce seven or eight looks.
High-quality energy that will not move or resist, Xu Yunshu naturally smiled.
After removing and devouring the bamboo shoots, the tall plants collapsed with a bang, turning into a cloud of powder and filling the deep pit.
By analogy, Xu Yunshu swallowed all the essence and carefully felt the changes in his body.
He was much stronger than before he encountered the bamboo shoots underground, and it seemed that he could feel the shadow of a fourth-level predator, but the upgrade was still far away.
In terms of experience points, it is about 60% of the level 3.
Solo hunting can't compare to a group, and he still remembers the scene of the saber-toothed tiger team's frenzied killing, that way is called experience, if it weren't for this rainstorm, maybe the saber-toothed tiger would have been promoted to level four.
No, with the efficiency of that hunting team, there is a high probability that the saber-toothed tiger is already level four.
It is also possible that the members of the gang will be promoted to the third level, and even if they don't, some of them should have the strength of the second level peak.
There is a big gap between a third-level predator who is not at the peak and a fourth-level predator, not to mention that guy has many helpers, Xu Yunshu still remembers the hateful eyes of the saber-toothed tiger, and when he thinks of Guo Xiaojie's tragic situation, his heart can't help but tighten.
He has little time to hunt for promotion, and he must take the initiative.
In the Dream Forest, Xu Yunshu needs to avoid enemies, wait for opportunities to hunt for food and advance, and choose the right time to fight back.
In reality, he needs to take advantage of the situation, dig out this group of people, and strike hard.
