Chapter 286: A Strange Severed Limb
The reinforcement of the tail of the white wolf's body was instantly canceled, and near the strange creature killed by Xu Yunshu, there was only its corpse, and the ant colony that was emitting a faint fluorescence.
A little bit of light is enough.
As a fifth-level predator, Xu Yunshu already had excellent eyesight, and coupled with the effect of potential enhancement, he could clearly see the scene near the corpse and its location.
As soon as he saw the full picture of this thing, Xu Yunshu took a deep breath.
He was right.
The thing that was dissected by Xu Yunshu was not a snake at all, let alone an independent creature.
It's more like a tentacle left behind by some giant creature.
Illuminated by a faint blue glow, the tentacles that were almost split in two were gray in color, with almost no difference between head and tail, and the difference from the thicker end to the thinner end was very subtle, like a thick pillar of flesh and blood.
In the place where Xu Yunshu was dissected, no systematic organs were seen.
But it's structured.
The epidermis is covered with blackish-gray mucus, which wraps around the actual inner wall of the skin that is a pinkish color, and there are obvious three layers of skin structure at the fracture of the finger claws, and the middle skin is the thickest, which seems to be filled with semi-coagulated fat.
Under the innermost skin structure, there is a shiny black membrane, and the layers of connective tissue are hidden within the black membrane, and further inside, there is a thick tube.
On the inner wall of the stump, there are dead ant corpses everywhere.
Even if dream creatures are magical in their own way, they can't be complete creatures.
Well...... Most likely, it can't be.
Although the possibility of being extremely small is not ruled out, Xu Yunshu still made a conclusion about this thing.
This thing should be part of some creature.
Although it was a very strange conclusion, Xu Yunshu was sure that he had not made a mistake in judgment.
However, questions followed.
Needless to mention how this thing appeared, this question has long been in Xu Yunshu's heart, and there is still no clear answer.
Another thing also made him unpredictable.
If the short limb is part of a living being, then logically speaking, it should be connected to the creature and present as a whole.
However, Xu Yunshu was sure that when his clone pounced, it was indeed only this severed limb that was participating in the hunting of ants.
What's going on here?
Peng Chengren only regarded the dream world as a game at first, and he would not delve into many bizarre things, not to mention that his snail body was used to rolling in the dark, and he had no concept of the formation of this severed limb at all.
But when the world of the Dream Forest begins to invade reality, everything in this forest is given a layer of reality.
They can be concretized.
This means that every bizarre thing is not limited to the boundless imagination, but will eventually come true.
The mystery of the severed limb will eventually find a solution, but when the mystery is solved, Xu Yunshu does not know what he will face.
All he can do is be cautious and cautious, and when he really can't explore, saving his life will become the first choice.
Thinking of this, Xu Yunshu glanced back at the black-skinned dog possessed by Peng Chengren and Zhu Zhizhen.
When he found Peng Chengren's whereabouts and forced him to tell the secret of the mountain, Xu Yunshu never thought that this trip would be so weird.
The brainstorming in the mind did not take too long under the effect of reinforcement.
A few seconds after the faint blue light lit up, Xu Yunshu made the decision to move on.
The glowing ant colony hadn't suffered any special attacks, and Xu Yunshu felt that he was a little worried, but it seemed like a good choice to have the ant colony as his own searchlight facility.
From the moment you walk into this strange pipe passage and then travel inward, I'm afraid everything will be different.
I have to guard against it.
He commanded Guo Xiaojie, Guo Xiaojie commanded the ant colony, and under such a complex command system, the ant colony of the squad emitting a faint blue fluorescence continued to move forward, illuminating the scene along the way with a faint light.
And Xu Yunshu and his party, who fell far behind them, hid in the darkness again.
Before leaving, Xu Yunshu did not forget to eat this stump containing flesh and blood energy.
Although this thing was only a stump, just as he judged when he first came into contact with it, the stump had the energy that only a third-level peak predator deserved.
Xu Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little curious, it stands to reason that the stump alone is so powerful, so what level should the body of this creature be?
Why would a creature of this level be intercepted by his clone?
Well...... Another mystery.
If you want to solve these mysteries, you have to go deeper.
After devouring most of the stump limbs, Xu Yunshu did not forget to leave a small part for the ant queen on his back and neck.
After the two of them shared this flesh and blood, Xu Yunshu made up for the deficit of the energy he used just now, and made a small profit, and Guo Xiaojie took this opportunity to consolidate and continue to strengthen himself.
Peng Chengren, who followed behind them, got nothing.
Although Peng Chengren had a small complaint because of this, the identity of the second-level predator did restrict him a lot.
Except for the guide, Peng Chengren couldn't help in the battle, and he didn't even have the ability to make trouble.
The black-backed dog possessed by Zhu Zhizhen did not awaken any potential power, and the dog's own racial talent was just like that.
To put it bluntly, the black-backed dog is a tabula rasa N card.
After passing through this dangerous pipeline passage, a strange ring-shaped channel structure appeared in front of it.
According to Peng Chengren, it was here that he met the body that made his heart move.
Although invisible, the thing exuded an aura strong enough to convince all creatures that came across it that it was an extremely high-ranking predator.
Xu Yunshu immediately became vigilant and commanded the glowing ant colony to move forward on the circular passage, while he himself stood still, only watching the ant colony move, allowing the faint blue light on the ant colony to illuminate the surroundings.
However, whether it is to look with your eyes, or to test with your five senses, or to feel with wild intuition, you can't find the monster in Peng Chengren's mouth.
"The Great Age of Genes"
After ruling out the possibility that Peng Chengren was lying, Xu Yunshu felt that the monster might have left this ring pathway.
After traveling here, he could finally be sure that neither the platform area nor the intricate tubular passages in this mountain peak could have been formed naturally.
Maybe it's the handiwork of some high-level predator, or maybe it's the dream creatures that have developed civilization.
After witnessing the "rise" of the civilization of the Gang clan, Xu Yunshu could no longer rule out the latter possibility.
Intellectually speaking, he would prefer the latter possibility.
If it was done by a certain high-level predator, the creature that could create such a terrible pipe maze would not know how terrifying it would be.
With a slight apprehension, Xu Yunshu continued to track the fluorescent ants with his gaze until the colony turned and disappeared around the corner of the circular passage.
Next, it is the category of Guo Xiaojie's ant colony sensing.
He still hid in the pipe, and after the fluorescent ants disappeared, he asked Guo Xiaojie to divide the remaining ant colony into two parts, and then sent more than 2,000 of them to gather together and follow the action behind the fluorescent ant colony.
This round is called the all-round, no-blind bait scheme.
