Chapter 47: Natural Predators
Knock, knock, knock! Every step the mammoth took was like a hammer striking on Wang Lung's heart, and the depression could not be described in words.
Saying that he was not nervous was a lie, Wang Lung grabbed the edge of the blade of grass with both hands and feet, and did not dare to exert more force, after all, the blade of grass is no better than others, what if it is torn off? Fortunately, Wang Lung is not too heavy, one hundred and fifty pounds, the blade of grass is also tough, and it can still sway with the wind while wrapping Wang Lung, but it is a little bent.
A dull sound came to Wang Lung's ears, and he knew that the mammoth had approached, and was stopping to look for the source of the sound just now, and his nose swept over the weeds, hoping to find something different.
The rustling sound sounded in his ears, and the leaves used to wrap Wang Long had not yet been bogged down, and Wang Lung's whole body was shrunk in the blades of grass, and he couldn't see what was going on outside, but he could guess a few points from the heat coming from his back.
The heat is the wheezing of the mammoth's proboscis muscle, and between exhalation and inhalation, it is like a strong wind sweeping away the leaves, and everywhere it passes, all the blades of grass are lurking.
The mammoth's proboscis finally swept to the blade of grass that wrapped Wang Lung, just a light flick, although the force was not large, but the weight of the proboscis was enough for Wang Lung, hiding in the blade of grass, Wang Lung did not do any defensive action at all except for pulling the blade of grass hard, fortunately the blade of grass was gentle, and after the mammoth proboscis swept over, it fell to the side due to inertia.
Although Wang Lung is well camouflaged and covers his body with blades of grass, he weighs more than one hundred and fifty pounds, which may not be visible to the naked eye, but the mammoth's nose is particularly sensitive, and it feels wrong after sweeping the blades of grass, that leaf seems to be a little heavier than other leaves, and the smell is not the same.
The mammoth's eyes were fixed on the blades of grass that enveloped the king rex, and in its eyes, the leaves of the other weeds naturally re-erected after they had fallen crookedly. But Wang Lung's one is completely different.
Finally found the problem, but the mammoth was a little puzzled, it was just an ordinary blade of grass, why it could make a sound, and it looked a little curly, and it seemed to be wrapped in something.
Even if the mammoth can't figure it out. But it didn't dig deeper, its proboscis straightened, its nostrils slowly opened, and it wanted to tear off the leaf to see what was inside it, and Wang Lung, who was hiding in it, didn't know that he had been exposed.
Wang Lung has been praying in his heart, hoping that the mammoth will not find himself and leave quickly, but it is a pity. He didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, and when Wang Lung felt his body move in the direction of the mammoth unconsciously, Wang Lung was taken aback.
He finally understood that he still couldn't escape the mammoth's eyes, and instead of continuing to hide, it was better to run away as soon as possible, if the mammoth's nose was sucked. With his strength, he can't escape at all.
Come to mind. Wang Lung let go of his hands and feet, trying to break away from the blades of grass, and when he was about to land, he ducked into the grass next to him, using the dense weeds as a cover, so as to escape the mammoth's claws.
Pity. Wang Lung and Mammoth didn't know what to do, in addition to them, there was a third person here who was staring at them, and when Wang Lung let go of his hands, the blades of grass instantly stretched out. Wang Lung looked up, and instead of dense weeds, he was greeted by a pair of dark and shiny eyes.
It didn't matter, it almost scared Wang Lung to death, he had never thought that there were other giant beasts hiding nearby, those eyes were strange, and they rolled around, looking at Wang Lung for a while, and then looking up at the mammoth, as if hesitating about some kind of decision.
Letting go of the blade of grass, his body suddenly fell, it was impossible for Wang Lung to continue to hide, before he landed, Wang Lung had already seen the pair of rat eyes on the opposite side clearly, and its owner was a mouse.
If it's an ordinary mouse, it's just that, what appeared in front of Wang Lung was a grits chinchilla that stood up enough to be the height of Wang Lung, it was the guy who described Wang Lung in Aunt Qi's foul language, and the grits chinchilla was also a kind of giant beast, although its size was about the same size as ordinary humans, but it was about the same size as ordinary mice on other planets, only on Gleth Star, it could mutate into a giant beast.
The shape of the millet chinchilla is similar to that of ordinary mice, with a pointed nose, small eyes, short claws, sharp teeth, a slender tail, and the fluff of the whole body is in two colors, maroon and grass green, and there are large and large yellow spots on its body, the big one is the size of a fist, and the small one is somewhat similar to a penny coin.
The grits chinchilla is an omnivorous beast family, meat can be vegetarian, can also cultivate, if you can become a cultivator, the speed of the grits chinchilla will be its biggest dependence, with the wind and lightning can not be described, if on the earth, with the speed of Wang Lung to chase the grits chinchilla, I am afraid that Wang Lung has not started, the grits chinchilla has run away, fast is very weird.
In addition to being fast, the pair of sharp teeth of the grits chinchilla is also a means of survival, and it cannot be said that nothing can escape the teeth of the grits chinchilla, Wang Lung believes that on the planet of Glees, there is nothing that the grits chinchilla can't bite, as long as the grits chinchilla is given time, even if it is a medium-grade spiritual weapon, it can bite it off.
As the saying goes, it is natural for mice to be afraid of cats, but there are no cats on Gles, and it does not mean that the grits chinchilla has no natural enemies, the giant clan is the natural enemy of the grits chinchilla, if the grits chinchilla meets the giant, like a baby and an adult confrontation, there is no possibility of victory at all.
Unfortunately, Wang Long did not belong to the giant family, although he was a human and looked like a giant, but he was much smaller than a giant.
In fact, speaking of which, Wang Lung also has to thank the mammoth, if it weren't for the mammoth, Wang Lung would have been attacked by the grits chinchilla would have been sneak attacked, with the speed of the grits chinchilla, Wang Lung would definitely not be able to react before being sneak attacked, even if Wang Lung's body was strong, in the face of the pair of sharp teeth of the grits chinchilla, he could only be restrained.
It turned out that when Wang Lung was advancing in the grass, he had been targeted by the grits chinchilla, but after all, Wang Lung was a human race, although he was not as tall as the giants, but he looked the same as the giants, in the eyes of the grits chinchillas, Wang Lung had a great threat, and it did not dare to attack, so it could only fall far behind and follow, wanting to see what Wang Lung was going to do.
Along the way, Wang Lung has been avoiding the giant beast to advance, which makes the grits chinchilla very puzzled, the giant belongs to the earth overlord on the planet Glees, and often comes out to hunt the giant beast, but now Wang Lung is walking around the giant beast, which makes the grits chinchilla a lot more courageous.
Later, Wang Lung found that the mammoth stopped to find a place to hide, and the grits chinchilla wanted to take advantage of Wang Lung's inattention to carry out a sneak attack, but he didn't expect that a mammoth would be walking towards Wang Lung in the distance, which made the grits chinchilla who was ready to sneak attack Wang Lung had to postpone. Wanted to see what was going on.
The mammoth appeared, and did not find the grits chinchilla hidden in the shadows, but found the king rex hiding in the blades of grass, and when it was about to catch the king rex, the king rex let go of the blades of grass, and the king lung also found the grits chinchilla hiding from the side and peeping.
Targeted by two behemoths. Wang Lung knew that he was more than auspicious today, there were grits chinchillas in front of him, and mammoths in the back, and it would not end well to resist either side, just when Wang Lung was entangled, the grits chinchilla in front of him moved first.
Wang Lung only felt a flower in front of him, and he wanted to take out the war knife to fight for his life, but he was stunned for a moment, and his movements slowed down. The body involuntarily looked back, because the target of the grits chinchilla was not him, but the mammoth.
This is somewhat out of Wang Lung's expectations, the mammoth can be called a giant beast, the size of the grits chinchilla is the opposite of Wang Lung, in front of the mammoth like an ant, the grits chinchilla not only did not take the opportunity to escape, but took the lead in attacking the mammoth. Could it be that the grits chinchilla is an idiot with a penchant for sending them to death?
The idea is just taking shape. After Wang Lung turned around, he saw the mammoth's situation clearly, which made Wang Lung shocked again.
In fact, Wang Lung's turning speed is not fast, compared to the speed of the grits chinchilla, it is slower than that of a turtle. When Wang Lung saw the mammoth's condition clearly, the mammoth's howl was already heard in his ears, and the sound sounded very miserable and frightened, which made Wang Lung's second monk puzzled.
can be seen clearly. Wang Lung found that the mammoth screamed, the proboscis shook desperately, the head kept shaking, the body kept shaking, the four legs staggered, the pace was disordered, and the crooked teeth would sweep through the weeds for a while, and then plunge into the ground, setting off layers of new mud.
Only the mammoth fell into Wang Lung's eyes, and the trace of the grits chinchilla was not found for a while, but Wang Lung looked at it for a moment and found that the front end of the mammoth proboscis at this time was slightly bulging, and there was something wriggling in it.
While the mammoth howled, the proboscis whipped vigorously into the ground, and kept panting, making a nose-blowing appearance, and the front end of the proboscis curled and twisted, as if to hang the grits chinchilla in the proboscis
This scene fell in Wang Long's eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder, and in an instant he came to his senses, and a word rushed out of his mind, natural enemy.
Mice are afraid of cats, cats are the natural enemies of mice, although mice are small, but they are also the nemesis of other beasts, Wang Lung once heard that elephants are afraid of mice, because mice can get into the trunk of the elephant and suffocate it alive, it turns out that Wang Lung disdains this, the elephant has two nostrils, one nostril drills into the mouse, and the other nostril can still breathe, how can the elephant suffocate to death.
I thought it was a joke, but now the facts are in front of Wang Lung, so he can't help but believe it, the grits chinchilla is a kind of mouse, although the size is too big to know how many times, but the size of the mammoth is larger, according to the proportion, just like an ordinary mouse and an elephant, now the grits chinchilla burrows into the mammoth's proboscis , the mammoth is like a frightened rabbit, afraid to die.
Depending on the situation, the mammoth is indeed afraid of the grits chinchilla, and after the grits chinchilla burrows into the mammoth's proboscis, its body has been crawling towards the inside of the nose, although the progress is very slow, but it is still advancing, and the mammoth cannot drive the grits chinchilla squirrels away even if they try hard.
One thing is one thing, maybe the cultivation of the grits chinchilla is not as good as the mammoth, but after drilling into the mammoth's nose, there is no cultivation for this statement, unless the mammoth's cultivation breaks through the god and transforms into a human form, then it can easily get rid of the grits chinchilla, this is the law of heaven and earth, no one can change, this scene reminds Wang Lung of the animal chess he played when he was a child, the elephant in the chessboard is respected, the tiger can eat the tiger, the tiger eats the dog, the dog catches the cat, the cat catches the mouse, the mouse is the smallest in it, and the only thing it can bully is the elephant.
I didn't expect that the games I played when I was a child had already interpreted the laws of heaven and earth, and the legend may not be groundless.
Wang Lung sighed and did not forget his situation at the same time, there were two giant beasts fighting around him, it seemed that it was a matter of time before the mammoth was defeated, was it just like the legend, the grits chinchilla entered the mammoth's nose and suffocated the mammoth to death, Wang Lung didn't care at all, he cared about his own safety, whether to run or stay to deal with it.
Run away now, dodge far away, and it is likely that you will escape, but there is a problem that Wang Lung has not figured out, that is, the grits chinchilla has lurked on his side before dealing with the mammoth and is ready to sneak attack, when the grits chinchilla is eyeing him, Wang Lung does not know what to do.
If he had just been targeted, it would have been forgivable, and if he had been stared at by the chinpmunks for a long time, it was impossible to judge whether the other party would continue to chase and kill him after killing the mammoth.
And running now, Wang Lung knows that he can't run far, the gravity of the Gleth Star makes his speed suppressed at about the same as that of ordinary people, looking at the speed of the grits chinchilla in the mammoth's nose, at most a few minutes, you can completely drill into it, the mammoth's nose is connected to the internal organs and brain, after entering it, with the sharpness of the grits chinchilla's teeth, the mammoth can be killed in an instant, and Wang Lung only ran a few kilometers away at that time.
The smell of rats is very sensitive, and at a distance of several kilometers, according to the speed of the gritted chinchilla, it is estimated that they can catch up in the blink of an eye, and the possibility of Wang Long escaping is very small.
If you don't run, you must respond, as the saying goes, two tigers must be injured when they fight, and the battle between the grits chinchilla and the mammoth, one side must lose, and it is not as simple as defeat, what is paid is life.
At this time, Wang Lung most hopes that the grits chinchilla will win and the mammoth will die, which is not contradictory, the mammoth is huge, Wang Lung is an ant in front of it, the grits chinchilla is the natural enemy of the mammoth, but Wang Lung is not, if Wang Lung is faced with the mammoth's attack, there is only one result, that is, Wang Lung falls.
Choosing an opponent, of course, is the most suitable one, although the size of the grits chinchilla is not small, but it is similar to Wang Lung, it is relatively easy to deal with, the attack method of the grits chinchilla, Wang Lung knows a little, one is speed, one is teeth.
Speed Wang Lung is not as good as the other party, whether it is on other planets or here, the speed of the grits chinchilla soared, Wang Lung didn't even have time to react, only the share of being tied up, but Wang Lung was not without support, his body was strong, not the body of the cultivator who had a distraction period, the only thing to worry about was how the grits chinchilla squirrel's cultivation was.
