Chapter 287: Ring Pipes, Traces

The range of the ring passage is extremely large, and at the speed of an ant colony, it may take a long time to complete the circle.

Xu Yunshu is very patient.

This is a quality that a good hunter should have.

Because of the presence of faint fluorescence, the queen's perspective was finally restored, and Xu Yunshu could see some detailed features of this circular passage from the occupied vision.

Similar to the strange passage he was in at the moment, the rock wall was also devoid of fungi and other tiny creatures.

The possibility of an amputated limb attack is not ruled out.

At short intervals, you will always see inverted potholes on the outer wall of the circular passage, which lead to a series of peculiar pipe passages.

After seeing this scene, Xu Yunshu secretly speculated that perhaps each pipeline path would connect to a platform area.

Such a regular structure makes the suspicion of artificial modification more and more great.

However, as the ant colony continued to advance, he still did not find the high-level predator that Peng Chengren would never forget.

Xu Yunshu began to drum in his heart.

He thought that this trip to the mountain should be essentially hunting, but he didn't expect to fall into such a strange situation.

The interior of this mountain peak exudes an eerie aura everywhere.

Hidden in the majestic mountains, the intricate but central confluence of pipes, the strange severed limbs that can't find a place to hide, but can be hunted in an instant.

What secrets are hidden in this mountain?

Maybe it's a good idea to retreat and wait for the sixth level to be promoted, and then come back here to explore.

Or would it be better to simply escalate the matter to the organization and wait for the number of members to increase again?

Xu Yunshu watched the two groups of ant colonies move forward one after the other, and countless thoughts surged in his heart.

In any case, hunting to obtain a stump containing third-level peak energy, this trip is not in vain.

In that case, it's not bad to return home with a small victory.

Just as he was thinking like this, Xu Yunshu noticed something unusual.

To be precise, it wasn't him who noticed it, but under the potential of Guo Xiaojie's group, there was an abnormal movement at the group of fluorescent ants.

With the help of faint fluorescence, Xu Yunshu can observe distant scenes through the perspective of ants.

Xu Yunshu sensed the presence of dust.

Dust is one of the most common substances in the dream forest world, whether it is in the forest, by the river, or at the bottom of the cliff, these small dust particles that are not usually noticed float in the air all the time.

The difference is just a matter of less.

In particular, there are no plants to hold the rocks and soil in the tubular passage in this high mountain, and if you walk, you will inevitably be filled with endless dust.

It stands to reason that Xu Yunshu will not pay special attention to them.

However, under the fluorescence, he saw that the concentration of dust condensation seemed to be too high.

They tumble and outline an ethereal silhouette within the range of fluorescent ants.

After a few seconds, the outline became more and more condensed, turning into Xu Yunshu's familiar appearance.

It...... No, it was the stump he had dissected in the pipe!

For the first time, Xu Yunshu saw the whole process of this thing condensing its body from the void in its entirety!

Inside the obviously empty pipe, the gray-black stump was smeared with viscous body surface liquid, which condensed and formed in the void, turning into a strange hollow pipe column.

The mouth of the thickest end of the tube suddenly expanded, and the epiderma was tightened, forming an inverted bowl-like structure, and it rushed towards the back of the fluorescent ant!

It wasn't attracted by the fluorescent glow, and the real target was the two thousand or so ants huddled behind them!

Because of this, Xu Yunshu saw more details.

The condensed stump in the void seems to have an autonomous sense of hunting, but it is more like some kind of neural reflex mechanism.

They have no autonomous consciousness and act on instinct in all their actions.

When passing by the fluorescent ant colony, there was no sign of pause, which seemed to indicate that the thing was not sensitive to light - it seemed to make sense, after all, where did the stump of a stump come from.

"Deceived Kangxi"

The fact that the target of devouring chose the 2,000 ants that were moving forward in a group, and was not interested in small colonies, also illustrates the rigidity of the mechanism of the stump limbs.

This void condensed creature only reacts to energy masses that exceed a certain threshold.

The energy gathered by 2,000 ants is about the same as that of a predator to a junior predator.

The third clear thing is that the intricate pipes and passages in the entire mountain are inextricably linked to the owner of the stump.

This judgment is based on the fact that when the stump attacked the colony, the end of the tail touched the rock wall because the body was too slender.

The size of these grooves matches the stump, and one has to wonder if there is a necessary connection between the two.

Perhaps it was the owner of the stump who dug up these strange pipes.

Who are they?

What is the purpose of their digging of these pipes?

To survive?

What exactly did Peng Chengren encounter?

A series of questions came to Xu Yunshu's mind, and these questions could not be answered for the time being.

These thoughts were all completed in a split second in his strengthened brain.

When his consciousness returned to the real world, Xu Yunshu immediately instructed Guo Xiaojie, "Let your ant colony disperse, the more scattered the better!" ”

Guo Xiaojie immediately carried out the order.

The ant colony was the first target to be attacked, and she naturally knew better about the situation of the ant colony at this time.

The two thousand ants dissolved as fast as they could, breaking into pieces and spreading out like a black knitted carpet.

Even so, this bizarre stump has captured hundreds of ants into its pipes.

When the stump suspended in the void could not find an effective target, with the help of a faint fluorescence, Xu Yunshu saw it disappear.

Like a reversal of the condensation process, the stump of the entity begins to disintegrate from the end to the tip, turning into a cloud of smoke again, and finally dissipating into nothingness.

It never seems to have been seen except for scattered ants witnessing the birth and demise of this thing.

This is the end of the exploration of ant colonies.

After Guo Xiaojie let the ant colony disperse, she waited quietly in place, waiting for Xu Yunshu's orders at any time.

What's next?

Whether to move on or simply retreat was up to his judgment.

Xu Yunshu pondered for a long time, and finally gave the order.

"Let them pull back."

Guo Xiaojie flapped her wings and signaled that she had received the order.

Peng Chengren, who had always curled up behind Xu Yunshu, finally felt a little excited.

Withdrawn?

Is this going home?

Is this terrible trip finally coming to an end?

Peng Chengren longed to stay away from this terrible place for the rest of his life, but he had the original sin, and he still had the handle in Xu Yunshu's hands, so he didn't dare to disobey the request of this white wolf possessed person.

So I could only follow all the way with trepidation, anxiously waiting for the retreat order.

After this experience, the agreement is completed.

With Zhao Jingchuan's testimony, coupled with reading the information and knowing Xu Yunshu's character, he doesn't have to worry too much about the number one person in the organization going over old accounts.

This is also a new life, right?

However, just as Peng Chengren was about to listen to the order to go home, he heard the opposite instructions.

"Bring all the ants and bring them together, and we ...... Let's go. ”
