Chapter Forty-Nine: A Sea of Stars
Zhang Wei, who was slowly adjusting the direction of his body, didn't notice that a fiery red head was slowly emerging from the ground under the grass not far from him.
The fiery red head that came out of the ground first sniffed around. When it noticed the surging smell of corrosive venom coming from a short distance away, it quickly burrowed into the ground again. And the grass where it had been drilled out before was restored to its original state with a slight shaking.
Zhang Wei didn't notice these small anomalies, he was still slowly moving his body, slowly crawling towards the giant tree in the distance.
Zhang Wei's actions did not arouse the alarm of the brutal mantises, and in the eyes of these creatures who were obviously not very intelligent, this strange thing was already a dead thing. Even if a team of brutal mantis bees occasionally passed over Zhang Wei, they didn't pay much attention to it after discovering that this guy was covered in corrosive venom.
As time passed, the sky gradually began to darken, and this was when Zhang Wei had also come to the outside of the scope of the giant tree in the sky. At this time, the brutal mantis bees were also aware of Zhang Wei's abnormality, after all, even a corpse that was attacked and killed by them could not slowly move to the outside of their core territory.
When a small group of nearly a hundred brutal mantis bees appeared in the sky above Zhang Wei again, Zhang Wei knew that he had been detected by these brutal mantises.
These brutal mantis bees still use their original attack methods, first spraying a burst of corrosive venom, and then landing on their prey to cut and bite. It's just that this time is different from the past, they didn't all return after a lot of tossing, but left a small half, and landed directly on Zhang Wei's upper body, cut twice from time to time, bite two bites and didn't leave.
Zhang Wei felt very helpless when he saw this, and he couldn't get up to drive these guys away. He could only let these brutal mantis bees stay on his body, but in this case, Zhang Wei would not be able to continue to slowly climb towards the giant tree. Because as soon as he moved his body, the brutal mantis bees would immediately notice his anomaly, and then he didn't have to think about it to attract more brutal mantises.
Zhang Wei hadn't seen the nest under this giant tree for the time being, so he didn't know how many brutal mantis bees lived on this giant tree.
Just when Zhang Wei was at a loss, Zhang Wei's cash back sky had begun to darken. So Zhang Wei was overjoyed.
These ferocious mantinets don't seem to come out at night, as the whole grassland was active and foraging at night. Zhang Wei also found no trace of the brutal mantis bee.
Zhang Wei thought it was true, these brutal mantis bees did not like to be active at night. The reason is very simple, as someone speculated before, living things can be different species, but the basic law of evolution is the same, and this basic law is 'science'.
These brutal mantis bees also follow the scientific evolutionary path in the long evolutionary process, because only reasonable and scientific evolutionary principles can make more effective use of their own resources, and the reasonable use of limited resources among countless species can not be too eliminated.
Therefore, the survival of living beings is not a way to actively seek science, but is forced to follow the laws of science.
The flight of brutal mantis bees is extremely energy-intensive, and their bodies have limited energy storage. Nor can all of the body's stored energy be allocated to the flight module, so how to maximize the use of their own energy as much as possible in their evolution will be forced to be a factor in their evolution, and they choose the same method as most of the flying arthropods on Earth. That is, choose to go out when the temperature is high during the day and the sunlight can provide a certain amount of energy. And on the night when the temperature is low and the sun is lost, the nest is destroyed and rested. This selection is engraved in the genes over a long period of time, and thus the habit is formed.
It didn't take long for the brutal mantis bees that landed on Zhang Wei to begin to return to their nests one by one, and the sky had begun to gradually darken at this moment.
Zhang Wei knew that after a while, the sky would become extremely dark, and there would be no moon in the sky, and the plants would not wake up and fluoresce.
Waiting until that time is the best time for Zhang Wei to act, as long as he gets up at that time and rushes towards the giant tree where the brutal mantis hive is located. Then he can quickly approach the giant tree.
He wasn't sure if the brutal mantis wasps would continue to move after the plants emitted fluorescence. However, Zhang Wei believes that when the plant fluoresces, he should not be in any danger if he lies on the ground again.
Zhang Wei's idea is basically correct, and he is not the only one who has the same idea as him. In the grass not far from him, three fiery red heads slowly leaked out of the grass again, and it was obvious that they were a little bolder. Even one of the guys, who had one ear missing, actually looked up and looked around.
The creatures that they hid underneath at great risk were fox-like beasts, with fiery red fur and fiery scales on top of their fur. Unlike fish scales, the scales of these creatures are pentagonal diamond-shaped, and the edges of these scales are very sharp like swords. At certain times, they can be erected in pieces, leaving them untouched by enemies.
These guys are not foxes, and as you can tell from their heads, they are very different from foxes.
In addition to their red fur and scales, they resemble fox-like heads, with four ears and two on each side. These ears are capable of rotating three hundred and sixty degrees, and their noses grow in front of the skull and on either side of the mouth, shaped like two blowholes. They have four eyes, one large and one small on the left and right sides in a row. In addition, there are two long rows of fangs leaking out of their mouths under their mouths, and these fangs are shot in two rows from front to back, from large to small, looking cold and shining.
The size of this fox-like beast varies greatly, and the largest can be as large as a cow or horse. The smallest is only half the size of a fox on Earth. The factors that determine their size are their age and their own abilities, generally speaking, foxes born in the purple cloud star for about a year can grow to a slightly larger size than earth foxes.
As they grow older, they grow in size, reaching the size of a wolf and a hard, fiery red horn grows on their foreheads. This horn does not grow for all foxes, only for foxes that have formed crystal nuclei in their bodies. This fiery red horn is the weapon used by this fox to release the energy of the crystal nucleus in its body, the larger the crystal nucleus, the thicker the horns, and the stronger the strength.
The three foxes that burrowed out of the grass did not have crystal nuclei on their heads, but they were already very large and almost the same size as a wolf.
These fiery red fox beasts are here for the purpose of the giant fat flower tree, and they need the fruit of this fat flower tree to stimulate their potential and help them grow horns.
Zhang Wei didn't know that there were these guys by his side, he quietly waited for the sky to turn dark.
After the sky gradually felt like he couldn't see his fingers, Zhang Wei knew that it was time. He immediately got up from the ground, grabbed the wolf's tooth hammer and carried the ancient shield on his back and rushed towards the giant tree with all his might.
At the same time, the three guys who were hiding underground and plotting against each other also began to act, and their speed was not slow compared to Zhang Wei. The three guys made their way through the grass quickly, making a crackling sound of the weeds.
Zhang Wei was also startled when he suddenly heard a fluttering sound on his right, and Zhang Wei, who didn't stop, just thought about it roughly and judged that there should be a guy who had the same idea as himself.
At this time, Zhang Wei couldn't help but have some thoughts of like-minded people in his heart, running wantonly in the dark night, Zhang Wei had never had this kind of experience. At this moment, Zhang Wei, who has the feeling of being a thief, can't help but be a little excited~!
When Zhang Wei ran at full speed under the grass shrouded in the canopy of the giant tree, Zhang Wei suddenly felt a strong wood element surging towards him. To be precise, he should have slammed into the rich wood element, and Zhang Wei, who was shrouded in this rich wood element, felt that his body was extremely comfortable. I want to stop and enjoy myself when I am comfortable, but Zhang Wei has not stopped moving forward.
The power of the wood element from this paving shocked Zhang Wei, and he felt that the power of the wood element was constantly emanating from the sky above his head. Zhang Wei already understood that these wood elements were emitted by the giant tree in front of him.
This giant tree doesn't know what the reason is, since it is constantly emitting the power of the wood element, although these rich wood element powers are not as pure and rich as the one that Zhang Wei directly absorbed on the upper body of the little fat flower tree before.
However, its rich form was not a little weaker than directly extracting it from the little fat flower tree, and Zhang Wei was running desperately while absorbing the power of the surrounding wood elements.
As Zhang Wei was running and absorbing, he saw that the grass in the distance had begun to slowly fluoresce under the breeze. Zhang Wei knew that he was about to stop, and then he didn't run far before Zhang Wei fell on the grass before a breeze hit.
He made the same choice as three other fiery guys, but unlike him, these three guys began to dig desperately into the grass beneath them as soon as they fell to the ground. In a matter of moments, they had dug a hole under them diagonally to fit in.
Zhang Wei naturally didn't know what happened not far from him, but after he climbed there, he didn't hear the sound anymore and understood that the guys who made the sound had already hid in the grass.
When Zhang Wei looked up slightly, he was surprised to find a scene that shocked him, only to see that four or five hundred meters in front of him, a large area under the inky night was glowing with a little fluorescence. Whenever a breeze blows, the fluorescent light will form a three-dimensional picture in front of it, as if it is depicting the posture and shape of the wind. This really startled Zhang Wei, this feeling was like erecting a wide pitch-black city wall in front of him. What are the talented artists on the dark city wall, constantly splashing colorful paints with strange and flexible shapes?
Zhang Wei was shocked by this scene, but what shocked him even more was still to come.
It didn't take long for the entire Sky Giant Tree to start to glow up with pieces of fluorescence, and then a large number of fluorescents joined together. The figure of a huge tree is displayed in pieces of fluorescence, and the giant fat flower tree at this moment is not only magnificent, but also so beautiful, revealing a sense of fairy.
It was also at this moment, outside the basin where the fat flower tree took root, on the high steep slope, one by one the beasts from the grassland all bowed down towards the giant trees that gradually woke up in the dark night sky.
For these beasts living in this grassland, this giant tree of the sky is their god, and this giant tree holds their faith.
Zhang Wei was completely stunned by this giant tree, if you have seen the starry sky and the Milky Way upside down. Then you should sigh at this moment, this place is as magnificent as the sea of stars.
