In the quiet space, footsteps sounded rhythmically.

The light of the flashlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding walls, as well as the rubble and flesh and blood corpses scattered everywhere.

Although it is not as heart-stopping as the endless corpses I saw before, these fresh flesh and blood and the pungent smell bring a different kind of impact.

Fortunately, Jiang Xian and others were wearing gas masks, so the bloody smell had no impact on them.

As for the tragic scene, after experiencing everything before, they have gradually adapted to it and will not feel uncomfortable.

Karl looked around carefully, looking at the corpses of the monsters. From time to time, he walked over and gently touched and fiddled with them with his palms wearing disposable gloves. His face occasionally showed thoughts and confusion.

"Mr. Karl, is there any new discovery?"

Professor Zhao saw this scene from the side and asked abruptly: "Don't hide it, we are still cooperating. We can also give you some suggestions."

"There are some discoveries, but more verification is needed. I won't bother you, Professor, for now. I will tell you later." Karl turned his head, with a smile on his face, and looked at Jiang Xiandao: "I think Mr. Jiang should know that I

What are you studying?"

"It's really interesting..."

Jiang Xian didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and looked at the surrounding beasts.

Whether it is the Misty Valley or the Land of Gods, the types of creatures are not monotonous.

Carnivorous, herbivorous, tall, slightly smaller...

These monsters have formed a complete ecological chain here, which has allowed the place to cycle endlessly for thousands of years. Their fights and mutual plunders have always brought a steady stream of vitality to this place.

But... after entering this sacred place on the cliff, Jiang Xian discovered that there seemed to be a missing link.

A very critical part.

plant.

Although there are ginseng fruit trees, large areas of yarrow, and cultivated Hibiscus flowers, they cannot replace normal plants to provide energy for the creatures here.

It would be fine if there were few herbivorous creatures, but among the corpses on both sides, nearly 70% were herbivorous creatures, and most of the remaining ones were omnivorous creatures. Where would their food come from?

Get it?

Jiang Xian looked at Karl's thoughtful eyes and knew that the other person had some ideas.

There must be a fertile grassland-like area in this cliff for those animals to forage.

Otherwise, the ecology here would have been destroyed long ago, and the current harmonious situation would not exist at all.

Karl moved forward step by step, but his pace became faster and faster. When he turned his hands over the body of a small ape crane several times, the smile on his face became brighter: "Mr. Jiang, I think I have found some clues.

.”

"There should indeed be a grassland-like terrain here. It may not necessarily be a grassland, but there must be a large number of plants."

"That should be the hunting ground for the carnivores here, but this hunting ground is not just one, and the herbivores will migrate between these different areas..."

"Huh?" Ling Xiaozi's expression changed when he heard this: "You mean, these are migrating beasts?"

"In the previous wave of beasts, the oriole behind him took advantage of their habits and patterns. He couldn't control these animals himself?"

Karl glanced at Ling Xiaozi and nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

"But that's not the point." Karl continued: "This abnormal migration caused these animals to move ahead of time, resulting in violent collisions and fights on the road, which also resulted in the fact that this place was not dealt with."

"Look under these fresh corpses. Although there are bones and blood stains, there are very few. These are the only fresh flesh and blood."

"If it is said to have decomposed... it would be too fast. After all, the interval between such migrations is not particularly long. The environment and temperature here mean that it will take a long time for the corpse to decompose."

Jiang Xian somewhat understood what he meant: "You mean, because the migration time was not low, the scavengers who dealt with these corpses did not take action?"

"These scavengers have not taken any action, so the beasts in the other 'grassland' should not know about it either."

"Yes." Karl smiled and nodded: "Although I don't know what the specific situation is, in such an area and space, there will not be an empty grassland area with no living creatures moving around on it. That is simply a crime."

"Their biological instincts will not allow it, and the law of migration is broken, then..."

"There will be a conflict!"

"Mr. Jiang, do you still remember the map you drew?" Karl turned his head and said with some joy in his eyes: "Above the node in the north, there are wider and denser areas. If those areas are full of monsters...

We thought it would be too difficult.”

"But now, if this tide of beasts disturbs those monsters and creates a conflict..."

"Our actions will be much easier."

"If this is Huang Que's purpose... he really knows this place better than we do, and this method can kill two birds with one stone!"

Jiang Xian also nodded: "No matter what, his behavior is helpful to us. We will just repay him well when the time comes."

Everyone's eyes met and a consensus was quickly reached.

"But there is still a problem..." Ling Xiaozi touched his chin, looked at the bloody scene around him and said: "There should be scavengers here. Those scavengers did not rush here immediately, but the situation here has passed.

It’s been a while.”

"As a scavenger, you should be very sensitive to the smell of blood..."

"You said they are on their way here from time to time?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts shrank.

"Whether it is or not, we have to leave here as soon as possible." Jiang Xian responded immediately and looked forward: "Mr. Karl, you will lead the way here."

"There is no shirking the responsibility." Karl agreed immediately, and then began to move forward according to the planned route.

Across the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, we headed towards the thoroughfare.

However, due to the raging beasts before, although the roads here were wide, they were full of traces of fighting and blood. They walked forward for a long time and passed through several forked roads, and they could still see fresh blood stains around them.

But these bloodstains also give people a sense of peace of mind. Their appearance shows that this path is not wrong.

Snap!

Karl's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes suddenly shrank, his ears trembled slightly, listening to the sounds coming from around him.

Jiang Xian, Lin Ruoxue, and Ling Xiaozi's expressions also changed at the same time. They listened attentively, and a faint sound came from afar.

There was a rustling sound and a rustling sound, as if something was secretly moving forward in the distance.

……………………………………………………

Tick ​​tock!

The sound of falling water was so obvious in the empty space that Mr. Dao turned around suddenly and saw only a protruding cone of rock above, with a drop of liquid condensed on the tip.

His brows trembled slightly, feeling the cold air around him, and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong, old man?" Uncle Dao asked quickly when he saw this situation.

"The situation is not right. Except for the very beginning when we came out, we didn't see any fresh blood or corpses after that..."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Uncle Dao was a little stunned.

"No... the fresh blood stains and corpses can only be left by the beast herd, and the path taken by the beast herd is relatively not too dangerous." Mr. Dao shook his head and said: "After all, the overall migration of the beast herd must be ensured.

The survival rate is good, but the way we go is not certain."

"Although it's not necessarily the wrong path, the possibility of a more difficult path is still very high."

After saying this, he took a few steps forward and pointed to the corner of the wall: "Look at the bones there and see what's wrong."

Uncle Dao immediately walked over and looked at him carefully. Before he even looked at him twice, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He turned around and said, "Old man... these bones are all broken! No, not just broken."

, even lacking, all shattered!”

"It's like..."

"Did it be bitten off by a carnivore with a powerful bite?" Mr. Dao said calmly, took two steps forward and walked to the wall next to him, pointing to some potholes: "And it's not just that, look at this."

"These potholes were not made by smashing..."

Uncle Dao San walked over quickly and looked at the location of the pothole and the edge there. His eyes changed slightly: "Is this...corrosion?"

"That's right, it's corrosion. It should be an infection caused by the liquid of acidic creatures."

"The previous skeletons should be the same. They were not bitten off, but corroded."

As Mr. Dao spoke, he took a step forward: "When you were learning to hunt, I once taught you that the beasts in this world have a tacit understanding. When they are not sure of each other, they will make their own plans.

Territorial.”

"These territories are their respective territories and their respective hunting areas."

"We are now in the hunting area of ​​certain creatures."

As the words came out faintly, Sanshu Dao's heart skipped a beat, and a thin sound suddenly appeared in his ears.

rustle……

It was the sound of some kind of creature rubbing against the wall and the ground.

call……

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the icy breath combined with the sudden sound made Uncle Dao feel a chill in his feet. His muscles tightened, his eyes focused, and he quickly glanced around.

The old man Dao in front also paused slightly, glanced around and said: "Keep walking, there is no need to be so nervous just yet."

After saying this, he took the first step and took two steps forward.

Uncle Dao San was suspicious, but out of trust in the old man, he also took two steps forward.

And as his footsteps moved, the friction sound in his ears suddenly increased, and it quickly spread from the very beginning! It was no longer a single individual, but became an entire hunting team!
Chapter completed!
