Chapter Eighty-Four: Enemy Attack

After experiencing the incident of bamboo shoots underground, Xu Yunshu has always been very careful about the deadly terrain of traps.

Even a Level 4 predator will suffer heavy damage in the face of strange pits and hard gear blades.

So he immediately repeated the previous coping strategy, quickly manifesting tendons and bony hooks for plowing in his chest, ready to respond to the crisis at any time.

Since being promoted to the fourth level, this potential to grow organs out of thin air no longer needs to consume much energy.

But all this preparation didn't come in handy.

What Xu Yunshu encountered was not a trap at all, and after his adrenaline rush, he suddenly realized that there was nothing unusual about him.

What he stepped on was an inexplicable green moss, or rather, lichen.

The numbness on the soles of the feet is due to the fact that there are many small needle-like plants hidden in this strange lichen plant.

Xu Yunshu looked around and was shocked to find that this small plant was spread all over the forest.

They are the most inconspicuous of creatures, scattered on the surface of large and small rubble.

Xu Yunshu didn't notice these small creatures at first, their distribution at the cliff was still too sparse, but as Xu Yunshu continued to go deeper, these lichens became more and more dense.

The needle hidden in the lichen pierced his palm.

Guo Xiaojie's ants were too light to be pricked by such tiny needles, so they didn't call the police.

Xu Yunshu's heart tightened, and he secretly scolded his carelessness.

This kind of thing, isn't it poisonous?

If that's the case, this forest is probably not a suitable refuge.

After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was better to be cautious, lowered his head and directly bit off his forelimbs, throwing aside the severed limbs suspected of being infected by the poison, and consuming energy to activate the ability to adapt to evolution and regrow an intact forelimb.

With the ability to adapt to evolution, as long as it is not a poison that seals his throat with blood, Xu Yunshu can break his wrist at any time.

Doing so consumes a lot of energy, but it ensures that he has a better chance of surviving.

He carefully searched for a place where he could put his feet, slowly retreating as he watched for his forelimbs that had been torn and thrown to the ground.

There were indeed signs of poisoning on the forelimbs, and the place where the spike had been pierced suddenly swelled, then cracked and shattered, and thick black blood flowed from the palm of the hand, seeping into the loose soil.

As for the end that he bit off, it was also strange after an interval of ten seconds.

It seems that although the poison of this plant is violent, it can withstand it with the physical quality of a fourth-level predator in Xu Yunshu.

As long as you stop the loss in time, you can save your life.

In this strange forest, no matter how careful you are, it is the right choice.

Now that it has been verified that the poison of this lichen is not too deadly for him, Xu Yunshu has the motivation to continue exploring.

He had his own conjectures about the features of the forest.

Xu Yunshu carefully avoided the needle bushes that were crawling on the ground and carefully observed the trees.

A moment later, he found the clue.

In the cracks of the old wrinkles of the trees, there is indeed the shadow of this lichen.

They are so inconspicuous that Xu Yunshu would really ignore them if he didn't pay attention.

The real reason why the trees here are thin and withered is probably because of these poisonous lichens.

The competition for ecological niches is a cruel thing, and it has always been a matter of losing the advantages of one and the other.

Now that he knew the hidden threat, Xu Yunshu was relieved.

The lichen that grows in the hidden corners is not overwhelming, but he can still identify and find the way to the depths.

There are two paths in front of Xu Yunshu.

Either move on and look for possible shelters.

Either give up going deeper and go back to the jungle he is familiar with.

The ant colony did not call the police because of the lichen, this is because the hidden danger does not threaten the ants, Xu Yunshu ignored this possibility, and this is the trick.

As long as this factor is taken into account, then the road ahead should be safe.

The most important thing is that he is still not worried about the hunting ground where he lived before, since the pupa was discovered, Xu Yunshu has been like a man on his back for the past few days.

If you give up tonight, it will take time to find a new direction.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Yunshu decided to move on.

The damage of lichen toxin is acceptable to him, as long as he knows it.

He glanced at his severed limb, bypassed the clumps of lichen, and continued inward.

However, as soon as he lifted his foot, the ant behind his ear suddenly touched it three times with its tentacles.

Xu Yunshu was immediately alert and stood still.

Tapping three times means that there is danger somewhere.

According to the prior agreement, Xu Yunshu immediately relaxed his body, and what followed was the feeling of being controlled.

Although Guo Xiaojie is indeed physically and mentally exhausted, it is still possible to control it in a short period of time.

Xu Yunshu quickly found the figures of the "clansmen" scattered around him.

They are scattered around Xu Yunshu in the shape of a disc, moving synchronously with Xu Yunshu's activities.

The purpose of ant colonies is to detect possible dangers, and the only means available to them is death.

Xu Yunshu "saw" the death of his clansmen.

In the special vision, the starry ants are crushed and trampled to death, and the remaining living bodies are trying to adjust their bodies and crawl farther away.

The dead clansmen all came from the same direction, and they formed a sharp arrow, pointing straight at Xu Yunshu's deity.

At the same time, the death of a large number of ants indicates one thing.

That is, the comers are not individual predators, they are a race!

Xu Yunshu pulled his vigilance to the highest.

He is a level 4 predator, which means that whenever he appears somewhere, the rest of the beasts below level 4 will retreat.

Even if you see it from afar, you will flee from the wind.

If there is a race that dares to challenge the fourth-level predator, it can only mean one thing.

There are people in this group who can match him, or the food chain is higher than him!

Xu Yunshu immediately made a judgment, if the comer is not good, he must not fight hard!

He immediately turned around and fled in the opposite direction.

Before gathering enough information, we must not be careless and fight hard with unknown targets.

According to the feedback of the tribe, this group of rash intruders has arrived at the lichen, but the speed of the charge has not diminished, and it seems that they are very familiar with this poisonous place.

It seems to be a local creature.

Xu Yunshu looked back as he ran, wanting to see what the group of creatures that were chasing him were.

However, to his surprise, Xu Yunshu didn't see anything.

It's not that he has a problem with his eyesight or anything else that is causing him to lose sight.

The five senses of a Level 4 predator are trustworthy, especially a predator like Xu Yunshu, who relies on his senses of sight, smell and smell to search for prey, will never have a problem in this regard.

But he really didn't see anything!
