Chapter 319 Terrible Adaptability

After collecting the loot, Mo Bei started to tear the spider webs again. The blood book Roman dagger he just got was extremely sharp. Cutting these spider webs was like pulling plastic sheeting, and he easily peeled off the whole piece from the tree.

Even so, he worked for a long time before roughly peeling off the spider silk from several trees.

"Don't roll it up, it won't be easy to spin and spin, just fold it layer by layer like this."

Seeing Milor and Perona rolling into their arms while peeling, he also reminded him aloud.

"Oh well!"

Miloer nodded, feeling a little ashamed, because Mo Bei had said before that she agreed with the need to work hard to discover the potential value of various foods, but after coming here, she still didn't find the obvious huge food here. value.

If it weren't for Mo Bei's explanation, she would only, like everyone else, regard this spider forest as a huge threat to Kurast Harbor.

In fact, this is just the limitation brought to them by the background of their era, not how good Mo Bei's brain is, it's nothing more than having been exposed to a relatively advanced consciousness.

After pulling away the cobwebs covering the canopy, they found that the trees in this area were already showing symptoms of death. It seemed that this forest had not been occupied for too long, but if they continued to walk in, there would definitely be another area of ​​nowhere. Vitality dark forest.

"It's almost there. Let's take some back and give them a try. If it's useful, call more people to collect it."

Mo Bei put the pile of spider webs peeled off by his teammates into the inventory, and he wanted to give up for the time being. Anyway, he already regarded this spider forest as a high-yield plantation.

Afterwards, the three of them headed into the depths of the spider forest again, looking for the reason why their numbers suddenly started to skyrocket.

In fact, Mo Bei felt that there was a strong inevitability of their skyrocketing numbers.

According to some information he has learned before, the reasons for the flood of creatures can be roughly summarized into six points.

The first is strong adaptability and sufficient food.

Creatures like spiders are inherently miraculous and have many powerful abilities. Otherwise, no one would create a superhero like Spider-Man. Without two brushes, how could a superhero be born with one bite.

If you come to a butterfly man. . .That. .What's the use?The light will flicker. . .

The alienation of these spiders in the rainforest was extremely successful. Not to mention their individual strength, they also developed groups, and changed from a hunting method of waiting for a tree to actively hunt in groups, occupying an unparalleled niche width in this rainforest.

The second is strong reproductive ability and fast reproduction speed.

They absolutely agree with that too.

The third is that there are few natural enemies. To be honest, job changers are no longer qualified to be their natural enemies, so their natural enemies are only stronger ones of the same kind.

Generally speaking, creatures that use the same kind as their natural enemies have no natural enemies.

Fourth, the expansion channels are connected to each other without obstruction.

They are unimpeded in this jungle, they can crawl wherever they want, and they can lay eggs wherever they want, which is also in line with this.

Fifth, the protection of human beings.

This is not true, but this point can be put another way, human beings do not have the habit of eating them!
This proves the truth very well:
Nothing can't be solved with a barbecue, and if it hasn't been solved, then have another meal!
The sixth point is the vast living space, which is basically the same as the fourth point.

Since they have taken up all these conditions that can lead to flooding, their number has increased dramatically in the past two years, and their territory has expanded rapidly. Perhaps because they reached a certain critical point, they began to grow like a snowball.

Therefore, Mo Bei felt that the main purpose of their trip should be to enter the core area and find a way to curb their growth rate.

Then use the method of external cannibalism to suppress their number and re-control it within a safe range, and then you can happily cut leeks, happy.

The only way he could think of was to beat up the spider leader that no one had seen for a long time, maybe this could also slow down their growth rate.

As they continued to go deeper, they were never besieged by spiders. Perhaps it was because the previous battle killed all the spiders in this area, or it might be because they were branded with some kind of high-threat threat because of this massacre. mark.

Many creatures can communicate remotely through means such as pheromones. Since these spiders can summon countless similar species to besiege and kill them in the blink of an eye, perhaps they can also leave marks on them that only they can feel.

If this is the case, it will save them all the way in, and what Mo Bei thinks is more beneficial is that those powerful elite monsters and leaders may be drawn out to avenge their descendants.

They had tasted this kind of sweetness at the Wizarding Association. From time to time, someone came to the door, sending a wave of heads, and then offering equipment.

After traveling for half a day, they found dozens of entrances to underground lairs along the way, and they didn't know if they were all connected, but they didn't want to drill in to find out for the time being.

"The further you go in, the stronger the smell of rotting plants." Miloer sniffled his nose lightly and said.

"The trees here are dead, and because of the hot and humid climate of the rainforest, they are wrapped in spider silk, so they will inevitably rot."

Mo Bei raised his head and looked up. There were only branches and forks left on the canopy of the tree. All the leaves had fallen off and were caught in the spider web. From time to time, some finger-sized spiderlings could be seen crawling in the spider web.

As he walked, he held a dark gold crossbow and threw hell. When he found spider egg sacs under a tree, he shot an exploding arrow and blew them up.

Gradually he discovered a pattern, these spiders did not place their egg sacs randomly, but placed them very evenly. There were one or two under almost every tree, and some were empty silk sacs, which seemed to have hatched recently. Haven't made it up yet.

They wrap every tree tightly. Could it be that these trees are used as nursery beds?

He approached a little closer, picked up a spider web with his sword, and immediately several young spiders scrambled and hid under other spider webs, but some things on the rotten tree trunk made him suddenly realize.

There are layers of fungi growing on the trunk, and there are signs of being eaten.

These young spiders are actually vegetarian, and the fungi that grow on these decaying trees are their food. They rely on these fungi to grow to a certain extent, and then start to eat meat, or be eaten by other spiders.

"They deliberately suffocate the trees in the entire forest! Cultivate fungi as the basis for the reproduction of the entire group!" Mo Bei gasped.

This kind of adaptability is terrifying. . .

You must know that among the 4 species of spiders in the world, only one vegetarian species was found!

And all the young spiders here can grow up by eating fungi!

These spiders are definitely preparing for the next outbreak. Perhaps after these two batches of young spiders grow up, they will be able to weave webs and cover a larger area of ​​the forest.

Within the confines of the rainforest, there is no limit to their expansion!
