After checking the trunk, Zhang Ling began to study the surrounding plants again, while Big Eye and I bowed their heads and said nothing.
The surrounding huge woods are surrounded by half-water and half-mud swamps, and bubbles are turning everywhere, and the sound of "grumbling" is constantly coming from the depths of the dense forest.
After a while, Zhang Ling said: "Next, we should first find a place that is more suitable for resting."
Big eyes asked: "Isn't it possible here?"
Zhang Ling said, "No, it's too close to the bottom of the forest. The danger is everywhere." She looked at the tree trunk and said to me, "Chen An, you go to the tree to see the situation."
I said, using the rope to climb the tree easily, and said with big eyes below: "Anzi, your skills are really getting more and more agile now."
I am aware of this too. Actually, it is not only me, but Dayan and Zhang Ling are also much more dexterous. This is all due to our many escapes from the dead. In other words, we have been fighting against the god of death, fighting against the god of death. In the contest, everyone's ability to survive has been greatly improved.
Climbing to the tree and observing the surrounding environment, the woods are quiet and there are several large puddles around. I said: "This place is good. It is surrounded by puddles. Large animals can't get through at all. It's safe."
Zhang Ling explained: "This is a virgin forest full of prehistoric creatures. The danger is not only from the huge carnivores. I have just checked, this kind of forest composed of tall ferns is generally divided into three layers. At the top is the canopy layer, where is the top of the jungle, where birds and primates live.
You may not find advanced primate animals here, but the birds are quite terrifying, so the canopy is not suitable for staying. Below the canopy is the middle layer, where there are mainly tree trunks, with the fewest species of organisms, even if there are some insects.
The lower layer is the geographical location with the most biological species and the most complex environment, especially in the unknowing virgin forest, staying on the surface, that is no choice.
Generally speaking, if you camp on the surface, you must choose a place that is open, close to the water source, compacted soil, and not surrounded by a lot of bushes, otherwise, just wait to be bitten! In short, we are not familiar with each of the animals and plants here, so we have to distinguish them by ourselves. "
Big-eyed asked: "Listening to you, don’t we have no safe place
Up? "
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most primitive forest. There is no absolute safety, only relative safety. I think there are several reasons for the peace now: First, the animals that originally lived here have just returned. In the sea; secondly, now it’s just after dinner time, most of the animals have gone to rest; thirdly, we are strange visitors, they are still observing in secret, although I doubt that they have not evolved such advanced brains, but they don’t. Exclude life instinct."
Big Eye said: "At least here, I won't be bitten by some invisible animals."
Zhang Ling was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Big Eye said: "Because the animals here, since they landed ashore, I think we are the youngest."
Zhang Ling's eyes widened and said, "When you really meet, you won't say that." She returned to the subject and continued: "In short, any creatures we encounter in the future must be avoided in advance, and try to be at odds with each other. They are in direct contact."
Listening to the two of them talking, I also took a look at the surrounding situation. Through the lush branches, there seemed to be a waterfall in the northwest. This discovery surprised me, so I immediately slid off the tree.
As soon as he landed on his feet and did not speak, Big Eyes immediately yelled "Ah".
"What's the matter?" I asked.
Pointing to my leg with big eyes, said: "worm, worm!"
I looked down at my legs and immediately jumped in shock. I saw a dark, limp like a snail shed its shell, biting it, no, it should be said that it was sucking my trouser legs, and its mouth seemed to be in full bloom. Sunflowers are densely packed with needle-like straws, and on their backs there are several long thorns nearly half a meter in length.
The tentacles are also like snails. The tentacles can be long or short. Just now there were a few more on my trouser legs. When I jumped, they all retracted back, but the mouth still sucked.
Zhang Ling quickly stretched out his hand, and pulled out a soft monster nearly one meter from the swamp. It was a tubular fleshy insect with several pairs of spines on its back, yellow and black stripes, and a pair of short, fat feet. , Then... That is a giant caterpillar!
No, it's scarier than a caterpillar, and annoying!
"What is this?" Big Eyes exclaimed.
I picked up the knife and cut the bugs sucked on my trouser legs
Broken, the thing shucked back into the swamp, and only a small piece was still sucked on my trouser legs, twisting like a gecko's tail.
Looking closely at the swamp, we found that similar creatures appeared in the rest of the place. Big Eyes picked up a few stones and threw them in. The monsters that were hit raised their heads and tails, their fleshy feet wriggling, and the entire swamp boiled into a pot of porridge.
When we first came, we didn't find these terrible things, but now we have gathered them like this, which shows that they all gathered here later.
A worm poked its head from the swamp to the tree. We were so shocked that we receded again and again. I asked, "What is this? What is this?"
Big Eye said: "It should be the ancestor of the caterpillar."
"Should a caterpillar live on a tree? How could it be in the water, it must not be."
Big Eye said: "According to the theory of evolution, all living things came out of water in the beginning."
Zhang Ling said anxiously: "You guys are so much nonsense, get out of here!"
Looking at the swamps around, there are that kind of bugs everywhere, we have already been surrounded by layers.
I watched the strange worms cocked up and down in the swamp, one big and the other small, and the big one looked like a balloon filled with water. The tentacles can stretch out a foot long, but they retract into the abdomen without a trace.
Say it is a soft creature! The spines on its back are like the steel sword of a fencer, hard and long, which is really strange. Call it "weird" for the time being.
"Where to go?" I asked aloud.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a strange worm crawling up the tree behind me unceremoniously. The strange worm opened its mouth and wrinkled the skin on its neck, just like people's sweater on their wrists, in their mouthparts. The structure that looks like a barrel is exposed.
I was so scared that I quickly avoided and said, "Then... what is that bug doing?"
Zhang Ling moved to the other side of the tree and said, "I don't know, but it seems to be spraying something. Try not to face them directly."
Big Eye had already climbed to the tree by the rope, and he said loudly: "Go! Go!"
I threw the rope in my hand to an adjacent tree, and as soon as I drew away, Zhang Ling followed it.
"Catch me!" Big eyes exclaimed.
We looked back and saw Big Eyes flying towards us with ropes, and on the tree where he was just now, there was a stranger creature.
