Chapter 864 (1/2)

”Are those luminous bacteria poisonous?”. Leah whispered.

Zero shook his head and said, ”look carefully, not all moles are dead.”

Sure enough, only a part of the moles died, but some of them were infected with luminescent bacteria, but they did not die, still gnawing on the full mycorrhiza. After a big meal, they walk around slowly, but they don't see the bodies of the same kind. After being gnawed by giant rats, the dried mushrooms begin to produce a thin fibrous membrane to seal the ”wound”.

Look at the dead moles. Their bodies are rotting. The speed of decay is very fast, the change that can be completed in a few days can be completed in just a few tens of seconds. However, on the decaying corpse, the luminescent bacteria gradually disappeared. Instead, there are tiny germ buds, which further decompose the mole's corpse, turning the animals into fertilizer for the land.

”Symbiotic system.” Moni said suddenly, ”I've seen some plants in the dark land for two years. They can continue their lives and their descendants' lives in this way. They will use fragrance or color to attract nearby animals, and then sprinkle seeds on these animals. Some animals die for no reason, and their bodies become fertilizer for plants. But others survive, and they get a gift from the plants. ”

”The surviving animals leave soon and take the seeds of the plants to other places to reproduce themselves. Amanda calls this symbiotic system for plants Finally, Moni said.

”We don't want to eat these giant mushrooms. I hope it doesn't treat us as animals.” Jin looked anxiously at the luminous bacteria in the giant mushroom cap on his head for fear that they would fall down.

People laughed at it, Moni said: ”don't worry, plants can tell whether you are their diner by smell. If not, they won't waste the seeds on you. ”

”Plants can also distinguish smell. The world is crazy.” Kim's a little crazy.

Zero shrugged and said, ”has the world ever been normal?”

All of a sudden, the color of luminous bacteria on the caps of some giant mushrooms a hundred paces away changed. No matter what color they used to be, they are now gradually dim, followed by bright red color. No matter how it looks, it's like plants are calling the police. Seeing the change in the color of the fungus, some mole warily raised their heads, then ”squeaked” and turned around and ran.

Something's coming!

The idea started, and from the darkness there was a song like a blue whale. With the sound of breaking the air, it seems that something is passing through the space at high speed. It's a pity that things in the dark are so far away that even zero can't see each other.

A mole seemed so frightened that he ran to them in a daze. Zero vision a Lin, ready to kill this fat rat, otherwise it will bring unknown creatures. But before he had time to do it, an octopus like tentacle suddenly came out of the darkness. It went through many giant mushrooms and hit the mole with agility and accuracy like a snake.

There was a slight tremor on the ground. According to the tremor of the ground, all the people present were high-level. It was not difficult to push the tentacle against the ground. The force of the tentacle was nearly tons. Don't mention mole, even a piece of iron plate would be deformed if it was patted like this. Sure enough, when the tentacles were slightly raised, the mole had turned into a paste of meat. The tentacle rolled up the corpse of the rat, and with a cry, it fell back and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

The scream of the mole kept coming from nearby. It was not until a moment later that the sound stopped, and the light fungus on the giant mushroom changed its color. The red light gradually fades away and then emits other soft colors.

The hunter has left.

”Let's go.” Zero said.

”What was that?” Haiwei can't help but ask. Of course, she knows that there is no answer to this question.

”Some kind of big predator, as long as it's not in our way, we don't care about it.” Zero Road, and then identify the direction of the sound of the water, then with the team set out.

The sound of the water is approaching, and the mushroom forest is far away.

Far away, but through the whole mushroom forest of light, you can see the giant mushroom forest, a hill like figure is slowly moving. I can't see what it looks like, but from the outline, it reminds people of snails. The apparently round body and the high head in front of it are indeed similar to the appearance of a snail.

The biggest snail that zero has ever seen is the overlord snail, but compared with the giant in the mushroom forest, the overlord snail is nothing but a small one. But that thing is not necessarily a snail, who has seen a snail with tentacles, so in the end, zero can only attribute the giant in the mushroom forest to a giant alien.

After leaving the mushroom forest, it was obvious that the soil on the ground was getting wet, then gravel began to appear, and finally they came to a stone beach. Not far from the stone beach, a stream was in an uproar. The water came from behind them and flowed along the terrain. It seems that this river should be an underground branch of the entrance lake, and then pass through the surface to form such a river.There are creatures in the river. Some strange fish with several glowing tentacles are the residents in the water. They are small and slender. The speed of swimming in the water is very fast. If you swim along the water, it is estimated that it can reach 30 kilometers per hour. It's fast enough to avoid predators when it's necessary.

The predator in the water is a kind of water snake like animal. They come out of the cracks in the rocks on both sides of the river. These animals have snake like bodies, but the skin is transparent and the surface emits fluorescence. It has three pairs of feet, with frog like toe structure and webbed toes. When a strange snake extends its feet horizontally, it can float on the water surface with the web between its toes, which is like a luminous branch.

It uses its own expertise to attract more bearded fish to approach. At the moment when the prey approaches, the strange snake will suddenly roll into a ball, hang the prey, and then drag it into the crevice to enjoy.

When they were resting by the river, they just witnessed the whole hunting process. From the giant mushroom forest to the river, they have seen that the underground world has its own ecosystem. In this ecosystem, predators and prey are fighting all the time. As long as either side is lax, it may be doomed.

Competition is everywhere.

This is the most comfortable portrayal of the new world. From prosius and agradis, to humans and other races, and even the underground space, there is competition among creatures everywhere.

All for survival!

After a 10 minute break, the team set off again. Walking along the river, the terrain is from high to low, but the slope is gentle. If you don't distinguish carefully, it's hard to detect that you are going underground. Walking in the dark is not good enough. After losing the obvious reference, the perception of time gradually becomes blurred. The road ahead is always in the dark, and there seems to be no end in the light column.

Endless darkness devours everything.

Just when they thought the road would never end, zero suddenly stopped. In front of the terrain, the slope suddenly increased, and the river flowing down into the waterfall, into a roaring water.
