Chapter 440: The Flaming Red Branched Woodland

After Xu Yunshu entered this desert world, he had never seen any living creatures except for the desert centipedes that received water mist and rain at the beginning.

During this difficult trek, he even had a strange feeling that he was in a sandbox where only sand existed.

This caused a great burden on Xu Yunshu's psychology.

But when he traveled here, Xu Yunshu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

If there is food, it naturally means that there is prey, and if there is prey, it means that there is an ecosystem where creatures can survive.

And the ecosystem represents a lot of things.

These things were enough to make Xu Yunshu ecstatic.

But he wasn't too impulsive, after fanning his nose and sniffing out the direction where the smell came from, Xu Yunshu looked back at the coordinate system he had left behind, turned his direction slightly, and walked towards the source of the smell.

Level 5 predators have an extremely keen sense of smell.

This also has a consequence.

In fact, the breath of the prey was very far away from Xu Yunshu, and when he followed the scent to explore, Xu Yunshu almost lost the coordinates he had established.

But it's all worth it.

When the smell became stronger and stronger, Xu Yunshu finally saw a different color in his line of sight.

In the scorching desert full of brown-yellow sand, this bright color in front of me is really comforting.

It is an "oasis" in the middle of a desert.

The reason for this quotation mark is that although this habitat is not green, it takes on a flaming red color.

If it weren't for smelling the breath of life contained in it, Xu Yunshu would even think it was a sea of fire.

But if you look closely, you can see the mystery.

Those fiery red things are actually a kind of slender branches.

The branches grew luxuriantly and gathered together in a haphazard manner to form a large fiery spectacle.

The fiery red branches are tough, although they are slender, but they stubbornly stretch towards the sky, Xu Yunshu stood on the sand dunes in the distance and looked down, and as far as the eye could see, it looked like a red lotus in full bloom.

The roots of these strange plants are made up of thick stalks, and the higher they grow, the more branches they have, and by the end of the day, they are too dense to count.

Thanks to these branches, a shadow was formed underneath the fiery red forest that sheltered from the scorching sun.

In the rare shadows of this desert, many small figures are tiptoeing around.

Xu Yunshu fell into overheating mode again at this time, and he could only burrow into the ground again, allowing the slight moisture in the depths of the desert to dissipate the heat for himself.

The reason why he didn't get into the shadow of that fiery red branch for the first time was because Xu Yunshu's suspicion was committed again.

Faced with the unknown, he instinctively felt that it was better to observe it again.

In this unpredictable dream world, sometimes, even the most powerful creatures can overturn and die a tragic death in some kind of weirdness.

This caution may cause Xu Yunshu to lose energy, and it may make him waste opportunities, but as long as his life is still there, these are not a problem.

After dissipating the heat, Xu Yunshu put on his armor again and quietly observed this fiery red "oasis" from a distance.

Xu Yunshu kept scanning and looking under the scorching sun, and when necessary, he even strengthened his vision so that he could see more clearly.

Observations have made new discoveries.

Beneath this vast fiery land, an intermediate niche is missing.

It's a lot of fun.

In order to prevent himself from being mistaken, he circled the woodland with red branches.

Although it took a lot of time, Xu Yunshu affirmed what he had observed.

This place is really no intermediate niche.

Here's what he observed.

Beetles of similar color to the sand occupy the most abundant spots, and the creatures at the bottom of the food chain can only survive by accumulating numbers.

In the same ecological niche as them, there is a bright red arthropod.

This creature resides in fiery red branches, and its body is very similar to these branches, and when they are not moving, they can completely hide themselves.

They are also extremely numerous.

These two are the more representative species in the red woodlands, in addition to which there are many weak, low-level predators who make a living by killing the first two.

In addition to this, the predators of the next level are completely gone.

Xu Yunshu narrowed his eyes and searched for a long time, but he never saw any kind of predator above the second level.

This is extremely abnormal.

Based on what Xu Yunshu had seen and heard in the Dream Forest World, in a hunting area, if there were such a large number of low-level creatures and primary predators, it would be impossible for there to be no higher-level predators.

This fiery red jungle can completely raise a third-level predator cluster, and even if a fourth-level predator appears, Xu Yunshu will not be surprised.

So the situation in front of you, there is definitely something wrong.

Under the scorching sun, after being exposed to the sun for a few minutes, Xu Yunshu used the ability of the clone again.

This place of life must not be missed, but the weirdness contained in it is also terrifying.

In this case, the ability of the clone to be prepared was once again used by Xu Yunshu.

One of them hid at the base of the dunes, ready to go, while the other walked with the utmost caution towards the fiery branches.

When looking at the past from a distance, this fiery red land was already very amazing, and as the distance was pulled, Xu Yunshu felt more and more magnificent and beautiful after seeing more details.

There are also many mysteries in the dense branches.

At the very end of these tiny branches, at the top of each branch, there is a red flower that is almost none.

In the distance just now, even with Xu Yunshu's eyesight, he couldn't see the whole picture of these flowers, but after getting closer, he could see the original appearance of these flowers clearly.

It was a delicate six-petaled red flower with an extremely delicate structure, more like a microscopic structure of snow than a flower.

Delicate, fragile and tiny.

However, it is useless.

This forest of red branches seems to be a paradise in the desert, and for a fifth-level predator, it is safe, comfortable, and has a lot of food, which is really rare.

Countless possibilities flashed in Xu Yunshu's heart, each of which seemed to make sense, but at the same time, it was untenable.

It seems that in order to get the truth, he needs to really get into it.

In this sun-scorched, lifeless desert land, Xu Yunshu seemed to have no other choice.

He controlled the clone, covered in the armor of a desert centipede, and carefully burrowed into the fiery red-branched woodland.
