Chapter 284: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Although Xu Yunshu couldn't see anything, his strong sense of smell allowed him to detect the movement path of the odor group for the first time.

The black-skinned dog possessed by Peng Chengren had just turned a corner.

Directly ahead, after the ant colony is probed, it is a fairly straight channel in the brain modeling.

It stands to reason that when there is only one passage, no one will hesitate to act, not to mention that the leader is Peng Chengren, who is familiar with this mountain.

However, he did not move anymore, and instead lowered his body, slowly retreated, and walked behind him from Xu Yunshu's side.

Although he couldn't see the actions of the black dog, Xu Yunshu knew very clearly that danger had come.

This should be the obstacle that Peng Chengren couldn't pass through when he was a snail.

In Xu Yunshu's other senses after abandoning vision, no threatening shadow was found.

During the arrest of Peng Chengren, Xu Yunshu once chatted with Peng Chengren for 20 minutes in Zhu Zhizhen's room.

In these twenty minutes, Peng Chengren poured beans into a bamboo tube and said everything he knew.

Although many things are presented in the form of language without physical comparison, it may be out of shape, but in general, Xu Yunshu has almost understood the situation.

Peng Chengren has been talking about "that monster", and he can't describe the true shape and appearance of the monster at all, precisely because he himself is not very clear about this matter.

Because this monster lurks in the dense network of roads in the mountain.

In this place where there is no light, any way of identifying species from one another abandons sight.

Peng Chengren's predecessor snail is a special case, and this snail's lifestyle is very interesting.

They originally inhabited the mountain walls and platforms outside the mountain, but with their skill in charging with momentum, they occasionally rampage through the criss-crossing road network, crushing small creatures that have no time to escape, and picking up corpses for a living.

This also makes familiarity with the road network something engraved in their genes.

However, snails are not without natural predators in this complex road network.

Many snails roll into the pipeline network at high speed and never come out again.

Only snails that survive by chance after encountering natural predators are eligible to give birth to offspring, and offspring must be born with vigilance in this regard.

For Peng Chengren, he no longer has the wild instincts of a snail, but he still remembers the fear of this pipeline.

Now, the predator standing on this pipe has become Xu Yunshu.

He didn't take it lightly because he was a fifth-level predator, but first commanded the ant colony through Guo Xiaojie and explored his tentacles to this path.

Guo Xiaojie's command is as strong as ever.

Tens of thousands of ants were mobilized, making tiny noises in the darkness, using their weak bodies to explore every crevice in the passage.

Although this passage is very long, it is very small compared to the whole mountain, and tens of thousands of ants crawl over it, probing every inch of the passage.

And yet nothing.

Aside from the rocks, there is no information of any living creatures.

Xu Yunshu immediately woke up.

Nothing - that's not normal.

Even in the inky passages, there are traces of living organisms.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the snail race to forage for food in the network of pipes.

Since there are animals, the most basic food is naturally indispensable.

When Xu Yunshu was moving forward, the soles of his feet would always step on fungi that liked dark environments.

These lowest-level energy makers feed most of the creatures at the bottom of the labyrinth's network.

However, the pipes used by the colony were clean, and there were no fungi, only soil and rock walls.

Xu Yunshu thought for a moment, then said to Guo Xiaojie: "Let them withdraw from the pipe, leaving three thousand to five thousand ants and gather together." ”

Guo Xiaojie immediately complied.

Half of the mighty army of ants withdrew from this pipe, and the remaining ants condensed from the dispersed state, and under Guo Xiaojie's control, they climbed and condensed each other, forming a huge and moving sphere.

Xu Yunshu couldn't see the shape of this thing, but he was pulled into the group because of Guo Xiaojie's potential power, and he was also a member of the group, so he could clearly know the position and size of the sphere by feeling.

If there is any hidden creature, the gathered orb doesn't know if it will be able to attract it.

Xu Yunshu was secretly prepared, his five senses had all been mobilized, as long as there was the slightest movement, he would quickly make a judgment and decide whether to attack directly or flee quickly.

Peng Chengren, who was hiding behind Xu Yunshu, couldn't see anything, and only heard the tactical arrangement clearly from Xu Yunshu's words.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Peng Chengren, who had long lost his snail appearance, couldn't help but continue to take a step back, quietly waiting for the next result.

He was equally prepared – always ready to escape.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Yunshu, who was on guard, always felt the activities of the ant colony in the passage, and felt that after they gathered together, countless information streams were conveyed to him through Guo Xiaojie's potential.

So far, there has been no movement.

Xu Yunshu began to suspect that he might have guessed wrong.

Perhaps the creature that stood in the way had left the area and continued to lurk elsewhere to eat snails.

Or maybe...... 5,000 ants still can't get it to see, so they choose to ignore it?

Thinking of this, Xu Yunshu turned his head and "looked" behind him, although his eyes were still dark, he knew that the black-backed dog possessed by Peng Chengren was there.

Do you want to throw the blackback dog in and try it?

For a moment, Xu Yunshu really planned to give it a try.

However, this idea was quickly dispelled.

If it was just Peng Chengren, he wouldn't be so hesitant, but the owner of this body is actually Zhu Zhizhen, although this woman has no brains, she is not guilty to death.

Perhaps, catching another snail and throwing it in will make the difference.

While I was thinking like this, a sudden change occurred.

Xu Yunshu was deaf and clear-sighted, and heard some unfamiliar sound coming from the passage.

A slippery, mucosal sound rubbing against the rock wall.

Xu Yunshu realized for the first time that what he was waiting for had come.

Although he couldn't see the shape of the thing, as soon as he heard the sound, he immediately reflexively got goosebumps.

The voice reminded him of a snake.

Could it be that the natural enemy of the snail turned out to be a snake?

Thinking in a short period of time could not give Xu Yunshu an answer, he had to act as soon as possible, otherwise, once the prey was allowed to escape, he might not have a chance to catch it again.

After all, Xu Yunshu's main purpose was not this thing, he was just worried that this thing would sneak attack him and prevent trouble.

Cautious nature prevented him from attacking rashly in the first place, and instead took a more cautious approach.

Xu Yunshu took a step forward, and the body of the white wolf in the darkness suddenly elongated, and the forelimbs turned into four, and then the head also split, and after a while, he split himself into two identical white wolves.

This is exactly the ability he gained when he was promoted to the fifth level.
