Chapter 442: The Biosphere Trap
The hairless jackal's body suddenly erupted with many fiery red spots.
These spots shine in an eerie but magnificent glow in the sunlight.
When Xu Yunshu realized that something was wrong, the mutation was developing at an astonishing speed.
The fiery red spots kept popping up, accompanied by the wailing of the hairless jackal, and they eventually took over all the skin of the jackal's body.
This makes the jackal look like a red, swollen monster.
Because of such a change, Xu Yunshu's entire wolf's hair instantly stood up.
A fourth-level pinnacle predator actually confessed to this?
What was it that made it die so defenseless?
In fact, Xu Yunshu had already guessed the answer.
Why aren't there more advanced predators in this fiery red woodland?
Answer: Yes - the higher predators are all dead.
So, why do they die?
Because they eat the prey that won't run away.
The hairless jackal was finally unable to make a sound again, it was not dead for a while, it could not make a sound only because its throat was swollen, and when the last moment came, the predator turned into a mass of flesh of completely unrecognizable shape.
The entire transformation process fell into Xu Yunshu's eyes, which was clear and clear.
But that's not all.
The predator-transformed mass of flesh trembled on the ground, emitting a peculiar smell.
Xu Yunshu's nose was very sensitive, and he had already smelled this strange smell.
That seems to be a ...... The smell of pheromones?
As the smell spread, the entire fiery red branch woodland became agitated.
Xu Yunshu realized that something was wrong and took a few steps back, but it was too late.
His hunch was correct.
This fiery woodland contains something terrible.
But it's not the branches, it's the humble creatures that lurk in the woodlands.
A whole ecosystem, all traps!
These beetles, small mammals, and all sorts of primary and secondary predators, are all camouflaged!
Xu Yunshu watched the scene in front of him.
The pheromone-emitting mass of flesh continued to shake, and all kinds of creatures gathered in all directions, and when they pounced on the meat ball, they would turn into red sticky balls and merge into it.
Thousands, surging endlessly.
Xu Yunshu knew very well what was going on, but he didn't know what the final result would be after this kind of thing happened.
But whether it is the instinctive judgment of the white wolf's body or his own rational analysis, he can get the conclusion that "something is wrong".
So he didn't hesitate, turned around and fled the scene at a galloping speed.
But when he first started, Xu Yunshu had to stop.
Because he's trapped.
He sensed that his actions were severely hampered.
This obstacle doesn't just include the creatures that come to their faces and try to blend in with the balls of flesh that have been transformed from hairless jackals.
They caused Xu Yunshu a lot of trouble, and the overwhelming beetles and other creatures rushed in a straight line, and moths charged towards the strange flesh mass like a fire, although they could not cause harm to Xu Yunshu, but they prevented him from escaping the scene.
But even more important are the miniature saffrons that bloom in the fiery red branches.
The safflowers, with their delicate structures, are not appendages of fiery branches, they are mimics.
When the trap is activated, the snowflake-like flowers fall from the branches and combine with each other, and the outline of the shape becomes clearer and clearer.
Xu Yunshu immediately recognized what the structure of the flowers was.
It was a skeleton.
The skeleton of a strange predatory creature, imbued with an aesthetic of coordination and violence, exudes a flaming red, and as the flowers continue to pour in, the outside of the originally pitted skeleton becomes rounded and full, which makes it even more magnificent and gorgeous.
At the same time, it is even greater.
Xu Yunshu watched the combination and birth of this blood-red skeleton, seeing that it blocked his retreat, and the malice emitted by this beautiful skeleton was clearly revealed, even if he didn't have to think rationally, he knew what the situation was now.
In fact, there is only one predator in this fiery red woodland.
That's the owner of the skeleton in front of him.
Its hunting method is extremely special.
In this barren desert land, maintaining a physical presence all the time is too much energy.
So this predator has evolved a unique way of survival.
It spreads itself apart, skeletonizing itself into miniature flowers at the tips of fiery red branches, and its body tissues are transformed into thousands of beetles, rats, primary predators, or secondary predators.
A creature becomes a whole ecosystem.
This is also where Xu Yunshu has always been entangled and always feels weird.
Why aren't there higher-tier predators here?
Why don't the creatures here flee when they see a high-level predator?
Because this monster lurking in the flaming red branch forest, there is no need to evolve a higher predator, it will disperse itself, form an ecosphere, and use the lowest creatures as the foundation, absorb the thin nutrients in the desert "oasis", so as to sustain life.
So, why wouldn't the low-level creature it incarnate run away?
The biggest reason is that the hairless jackal just now has been revealed to Xu Yunshu.
Eating those low-level creatures means that this strange high-level predator burrows into the belly of the jackal.
The internal organs of most predators are their softest and most vulnerable weakness.
Immediately afterward, the internal explosion will completely kill the high-level creatures.
This strange predator is entrenched in the fiery red woodland, hunting every creature that strays into it, and living and resting in a nourishing place.
If it continues like this, this strange creature will continue to survive, and even have the possibility of moving up the ranks.
But at this moment, it is greedy.
The white wolf possessed by Xu Yunshu was too vigilant and did not hunt any creatures at all, and because of this, he was able to survive.
But the predator obviously didn't want the fat to fly away, and after hunting the hairless jackal, it finally couldn't bear it anymore and gathered the scattered biosphere, intending to forcibly kill Xu Yunshu in order to absorb his energy.
It was precisely because of this that this creature used its own characteristics to surround Xu Yunshu's white wolf body.
At this moment, behind Xu Yunshu was a hairless jackal meat mass that was constantly gathering flesh and blood, on the front was a skeleton that was about to be transformed, and on the left and right sides were low-level creatures that were overwhelming, blocking all his retreats.
He was besieged.
Xu Yunshu had no doubt that if he chose to flee in both directions to the left and right, then flesh and bones would chase after him at the same time, taking the initiative and letting this hunt end quickly.
Right now, the only way to do it is to take it head-on and see if you can kill this weird creature.
Xu Yunshu naturally has his killer feature.
In the sand dunes outside the fiery branch woodland, the clone that has always been lurking begins to operate covertly.
