Chapter 225: Humanoid
Those sticky soft creatures seemed to be chasing Fan Wu, but they weren't fast, they just followed behind them without hurry, and they could be thrown away by him soon.
But because as Fan Wu advances, new members will continue to come down from the book, so it seems that he has been catching up.
However, it should not be ignored that those creatures that have been left far behind are still following unrelentingly, and it seems that they will not give up until they catch up with the human in front of them.
Originally, with their speed, Fan Wu didn't have to worry about anything, they moved like Fan Wu walked normally, and he could get rid of them by taking two quick steps.
But Fan Wu became more and more surprised, and the more he walked, the more worried he became, what the hell is this? Could it be that the trees here are all covered with these disgusting guys?
No matter where Fan Wu went, as long as there were trees within a radius of 30 meters, there would definitely be these soft creatures, and no matter how far they were thrown away, these creatures were still moving with the large army, as if none of them were left behind.
The farthest had been thrown away more than 2 kilometers away, but when Fan Wu looked back, he could still see that they were still following.
This is definitely not because their sensing distance can reach so far, it is estimated that they have a very effective way of communicating with each other, and can accurately convey Fan Wu's location to every member, so there is such a spectacular tracking team.
That's right, every time I look back at them, I feel that Fan Wu is spectacular, after a few kilometers of travel, at least tens of thousands of soft creatures are followed behind, and the way they track them is like the characteristics of the body, sticky to you, not in a hurry but will never let you go.
Originally, he hated this sticky disgusting creature very much, but now seeing tens of thousands of them following him at the same time, Fan Wu's disgusting feeling had reached a peak, and he didn't dare to look back easily, burying his head and running all the way forward.
Finally saw a open space in front of him, there were no trees in the area of at least a few hundred meters above, Fan Wu immediately ran into the center of the open space at high speed, took a few deep breaths to suppress the disgusting feeling a little, and then looked back at the situation behind him.
Although the soft creatures behind him still wanted to rush here like a tide, the nearest one was two or three hundred meters away from Fan Wu, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, the deterrent effect of this disgusting creature is not great, the main reason is that they are too slow, basically as long as they are normal creatures, they can run faster than them, if they are replaced by someone who does not think they are disgusting, it is estimated that Fan Wu will not be so embarrassed.
Not only was he chased and ran for more than ten kilometers, the point was that he was chased so far without a single fight, but there was no way, who made Fan Wu afraid of this kind of thing?
Although he knew that there were still several kilometers of molluscs behind him, the closest was still a few hundred meters away, and Fan Wu knew that it would take more than ten minutes for them to crawl over.
And reason also told him that it was just because of disgust, in fact, this soft bug is not too threatening, and it has only been seen that they have sucked the trees dry, and there is no other way to attack.
And judging by the speed at which they move, as long as they find an area that does not exist of their kind and pass at high speed, it is estimated that they can be completely abandoned, maybe a hill or a river is enough.
After calming down a little, Fan Wu observed the surrounding terrain, but he didn't expect that his sudden rush actually came to the riverside, as if a few kilometers ahead was the mouth of the confluence of the three rivers.
This is really a bit of a coincidence, how did you come here all of a sudden? But whether it's a coincidence or not, since there are rivers in front of you, and there are so many of them, there is no need to worry about the disgusting threat behind you.
The tension in Fan Wu's heart disappeared in an instant, and he stopped staring at the insect tide behind him, turned around and walked to the riverside, and then walked along the side towards the intersection of the three rivers.
It didn't take long to come to the riverside at the confluence, where the waterway is a huge ring, where the two rivers of the Dongjiang River and the Beijiang River converge to the Xijiang River, and then continue to flow downstream.
Originally, the water level of the Xijiang River had risen abnormally, and after the confluence of the east and north rivers, it became a huge waterway, and the momentum of a big river came out.
Moreover, the waterway has become wider, far exceeding the normal boundary water level, the river floods the shore, and even some of the vegetable fields cultivated by the locals on the shore are no longer visible, and the scattered plantain trees have also become aquatic plants, most of which are soaked in the water.
Fan Wu is not too worried about the rising water level, because there are no more people living in the area, and even if the embankment bursts, there will be no casualties, but he is concerned about what is causing the current flooding.
After the previous encounter in Longqing City and the observation and summary along the way, Fan Wu estimated that the rise of this water level should be inseparable from the creatures of hell, but it is not known what kind of creatures are affecting the water level for the time being.
But it is certain that those fish monsters definitely do not have such strength and influence, so he wants to come to this place where the three waters meet to see if he can find the real cause and this creature that can affect the water level, and if he can find it, he will directly do it for the people.
It's a pity, I don't know what happened, the river has always been shielding Fan Wu's detection, not only the Xijiang River, but also the east and north rivers, Fan Wu can't detect anything under the water at all.
Only occasionally could he sense one or two fish monsters appearing a little upstream in the direction of the Xijiang River at the confluence, and Fan Wu remembered the previous battle in the Dragon Mother Temple.
It seems that at that time, it was impossible to detect the situation in the water at all, and it was only shortly after the battle began, after the understanding of the fish monsters with the ability to communicate with all things deepened, that they were able to sense their activities underwater.
However, the range is not very large, and there are no exploration results for other aspects of the underwater, which means that with his current sensing ability, he cannot penetrate the river, and can only roughly sense part of the movement trajectory of known creatures.
So he stood on the edge of the river at the confluence, but he didn't know all the conditions in the river, but Fan Wu immediately thought of a method that should be effective.
He walked to the edge of the river and inserted his left hand directly into the river, unleashing a large-scale lightning attack, instantly across the entire river surface, and electrifying the entire confluence inlet within a radius of several hundred meters.
A burst of green smoke immediately appeared on the surface of the river, which was the result of the evaporation of the river water by the electric current, although the amount was not large, but it also turned the river surface into a place like a fairy, hazy, and quite beautiful.
But what Fan Wu wanted to see was not this, he waited for more than ten seconds, and after the green smoke cleared, the corpses of some creatures surfaced on the river one after another, and instantly covered the entire river surface.
Well, this is the picture that Fan Wu wants to see, although he will soon float away with the river, but he has already seen clearly what the floating corpses are.
Most of them are ordinary fish, they are normal fish, different from the previous battle in the Dragon Mother Temple, it was very strange at that time, all the fish monsters that came up from the electricity, and there were no original underwater creatures in the world.
But I thought it was a hell creature, they all ate it, so I didn't see it, and now looking at the corpses on the river, most of them are still the original human creatures, and I don't understand it immediately.
It turned out that it was only the arrogant fish monsters who would eat up the original underwater creatures, and the other hellish creatures would not do the same, and it seems that they were killed a little bit at that time.
Such an act of exterminating the aborigines is worth remembering them for Fan Wu, and if there is a chance, they must try the taste of extinction.
Judging from the situation of the confluence estuary, the hellish creatures of the east and north rivers are not those fish monsters, because in addition to most of the original fish and a dozen fish monsters in those corpses, there are also two creatures that Fan Wu has never seen, and it is estimated that they are the invaders from these two rivers respectively.
One is a creature similar to a yellow eel, but more than ten times larger than a yellow eel, the whole body is as big as a python, and it also has limbs, but their limbs are not like humans, a bit like the claws of birds, with sharp and curved nails, and it is estimated that the main means of attack should be this claw.
There is also a type of head that resembles a jellyfish, but has a humanoid body, but the body is not large, about the size of a child about five or six years old, but the body is covered with a layer of fish scales.
The appearance of these two creatures made Fan Wu fall into deep thought, if it was just a fish monster with a human form, it would be reasonable, but there was actually a second kind of humanoid creature, which had to make Fan Wu wonder.
Recalling that since he had been fighting with the fat man in the past, Fan Wu had only seen more than a dozen creatures suspected of hell, and more than half of them had or some of them had human forms, so this matter was a bit intriguing.
It seems that these creatures from hell are inextricably linked with humans, even if they are not modern, it is estimated that they are two races that are very closely related in ancient times.
If you shoot boldly, will it be the same race in the first place, and finally mutate and split into a race for some reason?
Fan Wu even had a very exaggerated conjecture in his heart, it wasn't necessarily those monsters who mutated, maybe humans were the mutated group.
Because no one other than God created man, he has been able to give a clear origin of man, and the most popular theory for the time being is that man evolved from apes.
But judging from the history of the Heaven and Earth Great World that Fan Wu now understands, the immortal gods are just humans with higher strength, so it is definitely not true that the gods created human beings.
The other way of saying that humans evolved from apes is that from the ape's point of view, isn't that just mutation?
And these are just conjectures, there is no real evidence, it is possible that apes and humans are more similar, so it is inferred that humans evolved from apes, but is it possible that they were mutated from other creatures?
