What were the black jade spiders waiting for in the distance?

For Jiang Xun and the others, who had witnessed the scene, they could understand it at a glance.

Faced with such a situation, the three of them were incredible.

What the hell is that bug underground?

Why do the black jade spiders mutate after they compete for food!?

The three of them were wondering.

The black jade spiders in the distance did not wait for what they wanted to wait for, and buried themselves back again.

The black jade spiders who were grabbing food in the vicinity also completely ate the insect segments at this time.

No second Ink Jade Spider was present.

They looked around, and silently went back to the gray vegetation where they had been hiding.

Taking all of this in his eyes, Tang Long turned his head.

"Well, can I think...... We discovered the secret of the ink jade spider that occasionally mutates to produce spiders? ”

"It's hard to say."

Zhu Weiyang groaned and said.

"This stubble is indeed of reference value, but what we see is not a conventional ecology, but a phenomenon caused by the existence of benthic organisms in mysterious caves."

"First of all, one thing can be clear, although the black jade spider is burrowing, the black jade spider itself just likes to hide under the shelter on the ground and wait for the prey to come to the door."

"Before the appearance of the spider queen changes the overall social ecology of the black jade spider, they generally do not drill into burrows, let alone into underground karst caves where food is scarce."

"Weiyang is right, usually the black jade spider will not have the opportunity to come into contact with benthic creatures like Fang Cai."

Jiang Xun opened his mouth to agree.

"Even if we met it by chance and stumbled into the cave, we saw it just now, and that thing will prey on ink ......"

Halfway through his words, he changed his words.

"No, to be precise, that thing will be attracted to a certain amount of movement above the ground, launching a sneak attack from the ground to hunt anything that can be hunted."

"This valley is more like a hunting ground than a habitat for mysterious benthic creatures whose true face is not known for the time being. The soft and fertile land in the valley is the result of their frequent activity. ”

"I think what they really live is in the depths of the earth that are much deeper than the valleys. The reason why there is a former valley hunting ground is precisely because there are spiders behind the existence of black jade spiders who come and go frequently, and this valley is close enough to the bottom of those benthic activities. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xun whispered.

"The coexistence of the two is most likely a coincidence, and this has also induced a subtle ecology that has not been discovered so far."

As he spoke, he glanced at the gray vegetation where a plant root was hiding in his memory, and his eyes locked on a nearby black dwarf tree.

？

I wish Weiyang.

？

Tang Long.

Jiang Xun did not explain.

Demonic energy gathers.

A large black hand spawned in front of the dwarf tree, grabbing it.

Freedom in the Heavenly Devil.

Pick up the stars.

"Bang!"

The dwarf tree was violently uprooted, bringing out a thick black root.

Meanwhile.

The gray vegetation that Jiang Xun had seen beforehand seemed to have been dragged and shrunk into the ground as a whole.

！

I wish Weiyang.

！！！

Tang Long.

As the dwarf trees were extracted by Jiang Xun, the black roots were unearthed and gradually became slender, and the color gradually showed the greenness that plants should have.

Soon.

The roots are pulled out in one piece.

The roots of a dwarf tree with only one "lone seedling" rhizome must be more than ten meters long.

At the end, there is a gray vegetation that has shrunk into the ground......

And that's not all.

At the place where the vegetation resembles a rhizome, there is a green root that forks and rolls around a section of worm segments, and there are tiny roots rooted in the worm segments.

Get out of the underground.

The green roots appear very weak.

After a few twists on the ground, the insect segment fell down, and it was cheaper to get a black jade spider nearby.

Zhu Weiyang and Tang Long were shocked at that time.

The presence of green roots, they thought was another unknown benthic creature hidden deep underground.

How do you think that in fact, the roots belong to the dwarf trees that can be found everywhere in the valley?

Look at it again.

The black dwarf tree is not a creature at all, but a strange spirit plant.

As a spiritual plant, it is obviously not yet mature, only the green forked roots that are caught and eaten have spiritual energy fluctuations that are no less than those of the Three Realms, and are simulated as biological characteristics.

this thing.

Slightly evil!

"Brother Xun, you ...... How did you notice that? ”

Zhu Weiyang asked.

"I didn't pay attention at first."

Jiang Xun responded, saying.

"But after seeing the roots grabbing food, I noticed that the dwarf trees and vegetation in the valley were a little strangely evenly distributed."

Dwarf trees and vegetation distribution?

Zhu Weiyang and Tang Long both bowed their heads, and then the two couldn't help but stare wide.

Jiang Xun didn't say.

The two of them really didn't pay attention.

Read on at the moment.

The dwarf trees that lined the valley floor were invariably devoid of grey vegetation in the vicinity, and the two remained at least seven or eight meters apart as if they could not coexist, and some were even farther away.

This way.

Jiang Xun brought the dwarf tree whose roots were no longer able to fall to the front for closer inspection.

"This thing should be some kind of evil spirit tree that is not too powerful, and has a certain symbiotic relationship with mysterious benthic creatures."

"The latter's predation on the ground caused the rock layer to be unusually fertile, and the damp and perennial lack of sunlight in the underground valley allowed the thing to take root and grow."

Before the words fell, Zhu Weiyang, who was no longer paying attention to the below, thought about it.

"I think...... Among them, the impact of the black jade spider may be greater. ”

"Compared to ordinary black jade spiders, the ground vibrations caused by the activities of the behemoths behind the spiders are more attractive, and they can also affect deeper below the ground."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"At first, the benthic creatures were most likely spiders, but after they came up, they found that there were a large number of black jade spiders that could be used as prey objects, so they regarded the valley as a hunting ground, and the ecology underwent subtle changes."

As he spoke, he discarded the dwarf tree that he had ingested through the air.

"Boom!"

Dwarf trees fall from a height.

caused a lot of commotion.

There are several black jade spiders outcropping nearby.

But there are still no mysterious benthic creatures.

Seeing this situation in his eyes, Jiang Xun whispered.

"These guys seem to be quite sensitive, and they don't get so easily into running to the ground."

"Understandable situation."

Tang Long answered.

"Although the benthic creatures are fierce and not small, their limbs are fragile. Jiang Xun, regardless of your blow, the unearthed part was easily divided into several pieces by the black jade spider and the roots of the dwarf tree. ”

"In addition, the lower half of it was not dragged out, and the black jade spider and the black trees did not try to pursue it, indicating that the thing is not only not dead, but also has no possibility of catching up."

"It's almost the same as the earthworm we know, and most of the people who lost half of their bodies were frightened, and they became cautious with other underground kinders."

"Look at the dwarf trees in the valley, not even one of them has grown to the mature stage, and the spirit is released, and the clues can be seen to a certain extent. Dwarf trees are everywhere, but they don't need enough nutrients. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Long's eyebrows fluttered and he rubbed his hands.

"The stuff down there isn't anything special, and we need to get it back and submit it to the Authority for analysis. If you can find it, you won't lose points. ”

"There's no urgency."

Jiang Xun shook his head and said.

"I'm more concerned about why so many Three Realms Ink Jade Spiders are consciously gathering here to seek mutation than about the benthic creatures."

"Looking at the appearance of other individuals when the black jade spider is about to usher in mutation, it is not like each individual in order to go further, it is more like the spider group urgently needs a spider queen."

"The performance of the Three Realms Ink Jade Spiders is indeed bizarre."

Zhu Weiyang opened his mouth and said.

"It stands to reason that the spider queen is dead, and the spider colony should return to its original solitary ecology. It seems that we have reason to suspect that something threatens the survival of the Black Jade Spider as a whole, and that they need a spider queen to fight or attract it. ”

As she spoke, she looked over.

Jiang Xun realized and pushed the mask to his forehead.

"Let's put the rest aside, let's search the valley first to see if we can find the biological mother of the golden egg or the trace of the boss."

"You can't go on the ground, and the Three Realms Ink Jade Spider lurking is not completely ignoring us, but is more looking forward to capturing mysterious benthic creatures. We have to take into account the hunger they will feel when they don't harvest for a long time, so as not to fall into the encirclement. ”

"Brother Long, your Liangyi Array is maintained for the time being, so that even if we are attacked by sneak attack, we can have a certain tolerance for mistakes, and our consumption should be able to keep up?"

"Small."

Tang Long raised his hand and made an OK gesture.

Jiang Xun nodded, waved his hand to pick up the stars in the air, and ingested the black jade spider that failed to mutate, and the demonic qi in his palm surged to form a silk thread to wrap it, and then let it fall and swing below.

Zhu Weiyang was slightly stunned when he saw this.

Tang Long also frowned.

"No, you're ...... Wouldn't it be a bit risky? ”

"It's not a big problem."

Jiang Xun grinned.

"The probability that the Golden Egg Mother is the boss of the secret realm is extremely low, and according to Weiyang, it is more likely to be a spirit beast of heaven and earth. The black jade spiders are afraid of it, we don't need to be afraid of it, right? ”

"This ......"

Tang Long hesitated, turned his head and asked.

"Walking?"

Zhu Weiyang thought about it and nodded.

……

Jiang Xun's resolution was undoubtedly risky in the eyes of Tang and Zhu.

After all, no matter what the speculation is.

They couldn't say exactly what species laid the golden eggs.

However, since the team has been formed, the two also have the idea of focusing on Jiang Xun.

The facts have long been proven to the two.

Following Jiang Xun is more exciting than step-by-step exploration, and the income is richer.

At that moment, the three of them slowly controlled the sky under the protection of the Liangyi Array, and launched a detailed search along the way.

……

The valley is all around, and at first glance there isn't much to worry about.

Dwarf trees can be found everywhere and are evenly distributed with gray vegetation.

Investigating all the way, Jiang Xun, who was carrying the "bait", was ready to move.

There are really not many black jade spiders lurking in the deep valley, at least more than half of the gray vegetation has black jade spiders hiding underneath.

Dwarf trees are like ghost mist flowers in the night, which have a certain evil nature, but they are obviously not strong.

The roots of the grey vegetation that had been taken over should have been gnawed off by the black jade spiders, allowing them to hide and lurk quietly.

So many black jade spiders.

It's all three realms......

This really didn't make Jiang Xun unmoved.

Unconsciously.

More than an hour passed.

The Valley Realm isn't that big.

Even if it was a slow speed, the three of them had already circled the entire valley in more than an hour.

Except for the discovery of more than a dozen other cave entrances of different heights in different locations in the valley, the three of them did not find any useful finds.

Such a situation made the three of them a little difficult.

The things in the valley are truly incredible.

But that's about it, and it doesn't have much practical value.

Successively fell at the entrance of a low-lying cave on the edge of the valley full of spider silk, and Zhu Weiyang took off his mask.

"Brother Xun, what now?"

Jiang Xun was silent.

Black Jade Spider.

He's going to kill.

Mysterious benthic creatures should also be able to catch a whole one.

But this will not be the time to think about that.

It's a little embarrassing at the moment.

I have explored a deep valley and found nothing else, and there are multiple cave entrances around, so it is impossible for the three of them to explore it.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xun took off his mask.

"Brother Long, you have suffered a lot of losses along the way, let's rest and recover in place, and then go elsewhere to see later."

"Well, just give me twenty minutes."

Tang Long responded.

As he spoke, he took out two Qi Replenishing Pills and swallowed them, walked inside the entrance of the cave, found a clean falling stone and sat down, closed his eyes and settled down.

Zhu Weiyang also went into the cave to find a place to sit down, glanced at Tang Long, who was beginning to settle down, took out a box of delicate dim sum and looked at it and beckoned to the little hand.

Jiang Xun smiled dumbly when he saw this, and went over to her side.

……

Twenty minutes later.

Tang Long, who had completed the "full state" of pranayama, opened his eyes.

At this time, Jiang Xun and Zhu Weiyang had already solved the dim sum without leaving a trace.

Seeing Tang Long wake up, the two got up separately.

Just as he was about to speak, a strong wind suddenly swept in from outside the cave.

？

The three of them typed a question mark in unison and turned their heads to look at the hole.

That's just at this time.

A large snow-white bird, about a man tall, and identical to an owl, fluttered its wings and landed on the outermost opening of the cave passage.

The owl landed and raised its eyes.

Seeing Jiang Xun and the other three, they were obviously stunned for a moment.

Apparently.

It didn't expect the trio to be there.

Its golden eyes flickered twice, its head twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, and it looked back at the corpse of the black jade spider hanging outside the entrance of the cave, and looked back cautiously trying to retreat.

But it's right at the entrance of the passage, and the claws move back and fall short.

As a last resort.

It could only retract its claws, its golden eyes staring intently at the three people inside the hole.

“……”

Jiang Xun.

“……”

Tang and Zhu two.

This tall pure white owl not only did not attack them, but also looked stupid and cute.

It's a spirit beast that didn't run!

Only spirit animals will not rashly attack species they don't recognize.

Ordinary creatures in the secret realm have never seen anything they have never seen before, and then try to see if they can die or not.

The mother of the golden egg......

Got it!

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?

No, no, no!

It's going to be a bit tough for all three.

Because it is not difficult to see from the stupid and cute posture of the owl that it has long been "eyeing" them, but it has always been secretly observing.

It was only after the three of them had been inside the cave that it had not moved for a long time before it escaped.

So.

What now?

It's a bit silly and cute on the other side.

But apparently vigilance is not low.

took out the golden egg in his hand and said, Madam, you don't want your son to smash anything?

This......

It might irritate it.

On the opposite side, not only is the bottom guaranteed to be the four realms, but it is also a heaven and earth spirit beast that can wrestle with the black jade spider head-on.

It's hard to deal with being really angry.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xun took out the spirit beast bag and took out the corpse of a young ink jade spider from it.

When the owl saw it, he immediately tilted his head ninety degrees.

There's a play!?

Jiang Xun perked up and picked up the young ink jade spider.

"Eat?"

I don't know if the other side understands.

I saw that its head turned back to its normal angle, a trace of humanized disgust flashed in its eyes, and it sat down and skillfully suppressed the demonic silk thread hanging from the adult body ink jade spider.

“……”

Jiang Xun.

“……”

Tang Long.

Zhu Weiyang was full of surprise and couldn't take his eyes off it.
