Chapter 72: Beast Eaters
Along the way, many trees withered.
Some of them are like water trumpets and the like, leaving only a dry blade of grass or a dead branch in place.
Others are half dead, half withered, and generally grow new shoots.
Mu Kui has observed that the new shoots are the kind of leaves that are thick and easy to store water.
This is the way plants have to regenerate on the original basis, abandon the way of living in the rainy season, change the doorway, and then become adapted to the current dry season life.
Of course, in general, there are still many dead.
Because plants that can grow during the rainy season often need a lot of water to thrive.
When the dry season comes, the contrast between abundant water resources and extreme water scarcity is completed overnight, and many plants are unable to adapt and die.
It's the same with animals.
The carcasses of some wild beasts lay in the grass, on the branches of the trees, in the holes they had made, and so on.
Or it is dragged away as prey by animals that have survived the cleansing, or it is quickly decomposed by flies, praying mantises, maggots and other things that like to burrow into the carcass, until it completely decays.
During the wind and rainy seasons, these things are generally rare, and even if they do, they are only a few of them large, or the structure has changed, and they can live safely in the wind and rainy seasons.
The reason is that most of them are too small to be blown away by the winds of the rainy season or drowned by the non-stop rain of the rainy season.
The same is true for the snow season, it is too cold, and they are not easy to mobilize, and they are basically either wiped out by the snow season's purge, or they form cocoons and hibernate and wait for the next year to fight again.
The result of being suppressed in all three seasons of the year, gives them the determination to go completely insane.
Mu Kui looked at the black-haired wild boar in front of her that was still more than three meters tall and fell down, walked over, and was just about to beckon Ah Di to join her and lift the big guy and put it in the car.
However, as soon as her hand touched the boar's body, the whole boar collapsed at once.
Dense flies flew out from under the skin of the wild boar, and maggots as long as knuckles crawled out of it, scattered in all directions, and fled in a hurry.
A whole piece of wild boar skin, which was also in good condition, became brittle as tissue paper after the flies and maggots escaped, and there were countless holes and holes.
The foul smell wafted out of it only at this point.
Before this, even Mu Kui's keen perception as a witch priest didn't notice anything abnormal in this wild boar's body, and he didn't know that there were so many disgusting things hidden in it.
Although many of the flies and cockroaches in the beast world are no different from those on the earth, they are much stronger in terms of concealment.
Many times, if you don't check, the meat hanging at home will be hollowed out.
Only when you have taken the meat and are ready to start cooking will you find that your own meat has been eaten by these disgusting things that kill a thousand knives.
"Gross!"
Mu Kui turned around and retched for a while before finally relieving himself.
No longer looking at the black-haired boar with only tattered boar skin and skeleton left, Mu Kui's eyes continued to search the forest for a new target.
A large bear that stood five meters tall was still intact and showed no signs of decay.
"Now, the bear's paw at home has fallen."
The two siblings were overjoyed and hurriedly carried it away and put it in their trailer.
A cooing chicken, only a skeleton and scattered feathers are left in place, so it is not miserable.
The meat of the two badgers is still fresh, and they should have just died.
A garlic turtle, only an empty shell remains, and even the internal organs have been eaten.
A bouncing rabbit, picked up a bunch of black fingered cockroaches running out, fortunately these guys haven't done much, this meat can still be eaten.
Two scimitar-horned sheep, after picking it up, a bunch of mosquitoes came out of nowhere, densely packed, chasing the two siblings all over the world.
The wind ability blew it away, and after checking the state of the two scimitar-horned sheep, he found that the meat did not seem to be bad, and hurriedly carried them away and put them in the carriage.
These carriages are all open, so that things can be thrown directly from the top to improve the efficiency of pick-up.
Several turtles with a meter-long shell were also eaten, and only the shell was left, but Mu Kui needed tortoise shells for divination, so he grabbed them and prepared to pick them up and make divination supplies.
After removing the turtle shell, a group of black ants with large fingernails fell out of the turtle shell, and after picking up the wood sunflower, they also gathered into a black torrent and rushed towards the wood sunflower.
This is a beast eater, and after the number is large, it is really the kind of scum that can gnaw an orc.
"Let's go!"
Mu Kui grabbed five turtle shells, used his wind ability to blow out the beast eaters in the turtle shells, beckoned to his brother, spread his wings, turned his head and ran.
There were thousands of beast-eaters who came out, and some of them were hailed by the group of beast-eaters who had found their traces from other directions.
If you stay any longer, with the social nature of ants and the high obedience to the ant king, it is possible to have tens of thousands of beast-eating ants.
At that time, they just can't get out of it, and they are going to be bitten by these ants.
rushed into the air, and by the way, he used his mental power to find the beast eater ant that didn't get it on his body, and pinched it to death.
Mu Kui looked at the black torrent like a sea of ants below, and his heart palpitated.
Mu Zhao also flew into the air with him, and after Mu Kui helped him remove the beast eaters on his body, he heard him say: "There are too many beast eaters here, you have to quickly notify the leader and plan them to come over, otherwise if this group of beast eaters forms a scale, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"yes!"
Mu Kui nodded, if they ran late just now and were entangled by beast eaters, if they wanted to rush out again, they would really have to shed their skin.
After learning what happened to the two siblings.
Immediately gathered people and rushed to the place where the turtle shell was found before.
The wind howled, forming a tornado, sweeping away all the beast-eaters in sight.
The sea of fire rolls, and the wind fuels the fire.
Soon, there was a crackling sound, and the beast eaters were incinerated completely.
Afterwards, Meng asked people to go down and search carefully, and took the nest of beast eater ants to confirm that they really couldn't find the extra beast eater ants before giving up.
However, this is just the beginning.
As everyone pushed the cart and entered the mountains farther away, waves of accidents also happened one after another.
It's not just beast eaters that are out in the air.
Others, a lot of scorpions, centipedes, and the like, also came out, snatching prey and rations with the orcs.
By the way, there are also many small things like beast eaters that take orcs as prey, which pop up one by one, and then they will quickly be subdued by the fierce people who feel it quickly, and turn into the ghosts under the claws of male winged tigers.
After Mu Kui's three carriages and Mu Zhao's seven carriages were all full, he was reluctant to go home, followed the large army that was going back, and embarked on the way home.
