I have a set of monster experience cards

After Hai Xing Hua finished speaking seriously, Mop Head Avatar suddenly thought of something: [I remember, you, experienced, once? ]

Hearing it say this, the tentacles of Sea Star Flower drooped down at once: [Yes, that time, the herd had just been established, and most of the companions were eaten by it. The elder and I found the current camp and survived. ]

It will never forget that day when it saw a sea it had never seen before, blood everywhere, and the water it depended on for survival was dark red.

The previous overlord of the sea before the broadfin fish turned into a corpse lying among the seaweed. The rest of the hunters were only scattered blood, without a single piece of flesh.

It found the trench hidden in the rocks and squeezed into the cracks. Hormones of fear ran through its body. Its blank mind was filled with nothing but one thought:
It has to survive.

It and the elder were very lucky. The powerful hunter that came from afar was full and was unwilling to search for small fish and shrimps in the strong smell of blood, so it swam away quickly.

Kakala experienced a major reshuffle on that day, as a large number of powerful hunters perished and the position of the top predator became vacant.

The broad-finned fish took the opportunity to become the dominant force, and the elders' herd was able to survive the earliest and most vulnerable period in a relaxed environment.

It was a death of the sea, but also a rebirth.

Starflower and the elders are the ones in the herd who know best how terrifying a truly powerful hunter can be.

Although You Huan had never experienced the power of the powerful hunters in the sea, he had been a monster for a long time and was very experienced. He immediately urged: "Then, we should hurry back to the camp and build shelters and fortifications... or simply move the herd."

Mop Head and Ten Tentacles heard the urgency of the situation from the tone of their two companions, and they immediately stopped even eating.

Several hunters hurried to the camp.

"Om-"

On the way back, You Huan heard the violent noise again.

Is that the sound of a natural storm? Or is it the sound of waves caused by the sea being stirred up by some huge monster?

He didn't know exactly, but the noise came from closer than last time, which was a bad sign.

Arriving at the edge of the rocks that surround the Camp Trench.

Because the shell had grown larger, he could no longer squeeze in through the original gap, so he had to drill down through a hole in the ground. After swimming through a passage, the towering stone walls of the trench appeared in front of him.

The top of the trench is squeezed by dense rocks, leaving only a narrow strip of sky.

At this depth, there is little light even without cover, and the camp is illuminated by a kind of luminous seaweed.

He shook his tentacles, rarely lighting up the cells in his body.

The ever-changing colors of orange, yellow, blue, and purple illuminated the ordinary scenes in the camp and attracted the attention of many members.

The first one to arrive was the Spiky Head.

Compared to the first time I saw it, it has almost doubled in size.

This is because it was stimulated by its "strong enemy" You Huan. During this period, it hunted, fought, and evolved like crazy. Not only did its size grow, but its attack methods also went through a new round.

Not only it, in fact most members of the herd have become nearly twice as powerful.

In the process of learning from each other and fighting against their enemies, they evolved organs that were more superior than before.

You Huan was truly amazed by the creativity of these guys that came out of the pouch in their body structure and tentacle differentiation.

All kinds of strange evolutionary directions should be the common characteristics of this type of life.

After pondering for a period of time, You Huan clearly discovered that the characteristics of his own [Cangyuan Dragon] race were different from theirs.

If he had not encountered a herd of beasts, his evolution might have tended towards increasing the density of his tentacles and increasing their toxicity, as well as increasing his regenerative ability.

But one of the characteristics of Huanhai is the infinite possibilities of life. No matter what characteristics he is born with, as long as he is willing, he can evolve in any direction.

It's like a spiked head that has evolved like a vertebrate.

"?" The spike-headed guy seemed to sense that someone was talking about him in his heart, and looked around suspiciously.

Then it focused its attention on You Huan, and the rest of its companions were automatically excluded from its sight.

It sent out a spiritual message with high morale: [I am stronger than you now. Come again, let’s duel! ]

[……] You Huan waved his tentacles to refuse, [Now there is more important news to inform the elders and all members, this is not the time for a duel.]

[Important news?] The spike-head stared at him suspiciously for a long time before slowly taking a step back.

From behind it, the elder moved its densely entangled tentacles, and it was unclear whether it was crawling or swimming towards it.

It doesn't have eyes, but at this moment, it seems to be looking directly at the starfish.

As if sensing the elder's solemnity, Starfish Flower stood up straight and continuously exuded pheromones representing worry.

The elder raised his tentacles, and members of the herd gathered from all directions. He said solemnly:

[Everyone, I have observed that the sea is weeping, the beasts are roaring, and there is a terrible hunter approaching "Kala Kaala"! ]

As soon as these words were spoken, the camp exploded.

"Terrible? Enough to destroy the herd?"

"We, resist!"

"'Crack, crack, crack', we, the fish school, are strong, and we fight it off!" "It sounds terrible, scary, scary!"

Members with different divisions of labor, different personalities, and different strengths, all have different words mixed together.

As the Spiky-Headed One roared, "I, kill the enemy!", You Huan squeezed next to the elder and reiterated the proposal he had just made to Starfish Flower and the others.

Either defend on the spot and build more fortifications, or... just escape.

He knew how desperate the power gap between the bottom and the top of a world—no, there was no need for a top, the middle would be enough—could be.

[……] After hearing the suggestion, the elder sighed and said, [It’s too late to evacuate.]

After the elder integrated his spiritual power with his physical body, he evolved a very advanced sensory organ that could radiate his spiritual power silently and explore a very wide range of sea areas.

It says it's too late, doesn't it mean...

"Boom!"

You Huan heard the loud noise for the third time, and this time the distance was close enough to hear the original sound clearly.

That was the sound of a huge monster bursting into speed in the sea and then biting its prey!

"Shoot-"

Blood spurted out like ink, floating over the camp like a ribbon.

Following closely was a shadow that passed by quickly.

Too big, too fast.

Even for just a moment, the camp was plunged into complete darkness, and then a ray of light reappeared in the world.

But at this moment, You Huan captured some details.

For example, the fluorescent blue ring-shaped pattern, and the strange red, purple, and white patterns...

These details overlapped with two scenes in his memory.

The first one is the appearance of the Mimic when he first appeared.

The second place is the structure that looks like a fish fin that I saw in the distance after I broke out of the sea for the first time and flew high into the sky.

A mimic cannot transform into a certain appearance out of thin air; its image at that time must have a blueprint.

Combined with the recent abnormal increase in new hunters.

He realized that the "original owner" that the mimic had mimicked might have come...

"Boom!" The thoughts were interrupted by a loud collision.

It seemed as if a battle had taken place outside the trench. The stone walls of the entire camp trembled violently, and the rocks above shook into pieces, floating hazily in the water.

"Boom!" came another sound.

The battle was over very quickly.

It seemed as if a creature had smashed another creature against the rock.

As soon as the smell of blood wafted over, it was disturbed by a cold and dangerous aura.

This time, You Huan saw every detail of this guy through a crack in the sky.

Large clusters of thorns are printed with brilliant colors and patterns, showing its unabashedly flamboyant "personality". Generally speaking, it is a symbol of extreme poison.

It is unclear whether the body is in the shape of a snake, but the width of the visible part alone is more than three meters.

The real observed information is presented synchronously:

[The meat is firm, the muscles on the sides and back of the body are particularly hard, the nutrition level is high, the taste is spicy, and it is not recommended for people with low resistance to toxins]

This time, it was obviously not a mimic, but a real monster, a terrifying hunter that was even bigger than the mimic!
The herd of animals suddenly became nervous, and all the tentacles were tensed, but they no longer emitted any signals or pheromones.

Under the elder's silent command, everyone retreated to the deep stone cave that was specially dug to avoid hunters.

Hold your breath and feel its movements outside the trench.

In a trance, it seemed as if time had gone back to the time when the herd was just formed.

however……

However, the herd is not the same as before.

Once they were small fish and shrimp that could hide in narrow crevices in rocks and pray that predators would spare them without bothering to pick up a morsel of meat between their teeth.

It's impossible now.

I smelled fresh flesh and blood, I smelled fear, I smelled tension, I smelled enough blood to eat.

"It" is just outside the trench.

"It" is about to follow the sweet smell of the beasts! (End of this chapter)
