Chapter 71 Abyss Forest
There is no way to define this forest accurately, Zhang Fan tentatively calls them the Abyss Forest.

This forest is like the mouth of an abyss, no matter how many creatures there are, they will be swallowed by them.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some particularly flexible and alert creatures live particularly well here, but large creatures cannot survive in it.

For example, a kind of insect called the short-jawed weeter looks a bit like a centipede, but it moves much faster than the centipede, and it can even jump.

Not only that, but it can also burrow, climb trees, camouflage and more.

It is also very hard for this short-jawed insect to survive like this. Although this guy is proficient in various fields, once he encounters carnivorous plants, he will still become a meal on the plate.

Zhang Fan tried to let a gnat lurk on the short-jawed gnat, but he didn't expect the little guy to be so alert, and he avoided it with a slight twist.

The louse wanted to chase it, but it was greeted by sharp teeth. The short-jawed louse's front jaw was relatively small, but the bite force was not weak, and the louse was bitten into two sections at once.

You must know that the current Zerg armor and the muscle cells in the body have been greatly optimized, which shows how terrifying the bite of this short-jawed weetle is.

The short-jawed lice didn't leave. It looked at the half-sectioned lice, and didn't seem to intend to eat it. After observing it for a while, it quickly crawled away.

At this moment, a green needle suddenly pierced down from the air, and the rest of the gnats found it.

This is a moving plant, a bit like a jellyfish, supported by the underlying branches.

There is a bright flower on the top, which exudes a charming atmosphere. Flying insects are attracted by this floral fragrance, and then they are wrapped and devoured by the flower.

Those green needles are the tentacles of this plant, there are more than a dozen in total, they will kill the creatures on the ground, and then send them to the flowers.

Moreover, this guy is very big, half a head taller than the entire forest, but his moving speed is relatively slow. Zhang Fan called it the devil tree.

Why is it said that the devil tree is not necessarily a plant but an animal?
Because there is a fundamental difference between animals and plants. The growth organs of the two are different. Plants have roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds, but animals do not. Animals inherit more genes from the previous generation and have the same organs. .

Plants can be self-sufficient through photosynthesis. Without food, devil trees will not starve themselves to death at all. They will spread the leaves on their bodies to absorb sunlight, but it is not satisfied with this slow absorption method.

The most critical point is that the cells of plants have cell walls and chlorophyll leaves, etc., while animals do not. Animal cells only have cell membranes, and such cells will be more energetic.

So although Zhang Fan saw the devil tree and moved slowly, he couldn't define it as an animal.

Every time this time comes, Zhang Fan always has some fantastic ideas. If he gets this tree, what kind of troops will he create?
Shaking his head, he put aside this idea. Now there is no plant that can compare to creep. If a tree is needed, the creep can grow by itself. There is no need to use this greedy and blood-devouring devil Tree.

In this forest, it may be a king, but it is too tasteless for the Zerg.

It doesn't matter if the target of the short-jawed weetle is lost, it is not the only creature here.

Here Zhang Fan also found a kind of bee, and it cannot be said whether it is a bee, but it has some obvious characteristics of a bee.

One is the head, like a bee or a wasp, and the other is the tail needle on its abdomen. Only through these two points can Zhang Fan confirm that it belongs to a bee.

It's just that other places don't really look like bees. First of all, judging from the legs, there is no doubt that there are six legs, but these six legs are extremely thick. tooth.

Why is it called sharp teeth, because the mouth of this bee grows on the chest, and these six legs are not only its weapons, but also its mouthparts.

Finally, let’s look at its wings. Ordinary bees have one or two pairs of wings, but this kind of bee has six short pairs of wings behind it. It moves comfortably and extremely fast. If it is not too small, it will not lose to Aedes mosquitoes. speed.

Moreover, they turned faster than Aedes mosquitoes, and disappeared after a few teleports. Zhang Fan called this kind of bee a breast-chewing bee.

The hives of the breast-chewing wasps were not difficult to find, for they were the largest colony in the whole forest, and they were the only ones who troubled others, and no one ever troubled them.

These breast-chewing wasps do not feed on pollen, but rather feed on sap from trees like cicadas.

They also showed the characteristics of a social creature, a queen bee, a group of worker bees.

Zhang Fan regretted that he didn't build some small units, otherwise, he would have wiped out these chest-chewing bees and obtained their genes like he did back then.

Now the only creature that can be used is the lice.

"Let Adam improve the speed and jumping ability of the lice later. It's time to get the genes of these bees." Zhang Fan thought in his heart.

The lice in the forest were still watching, but Zhang Fan felt that the sky was getting colder.

After this kind of cold weather appeared, the entire forest seemed to come alive, and the insects kept digging tunnels underground.

Even flying insects like the breast chewing wasp burrow into prepared underground nests, and they transport food to their nests.

Zhang Fan saw a very miraculous scene at this time. The forest was surprisingly harmonious because it was about to welcome the cold winter, and there was no more bloodshed.

The insects are busy carrying food, and they will not attack when they see each other. The trees seem to have adapted to this kind of survival.

They spread out their huge leaves, absorbing the remaining sunlight, and fighting with their backs.

In addition, something even more miraculous happened. Those trees seemed to be induced by the earth, and they were slowly diving until most of their bodies entered the land.

Zhang Fan finally knew the reason, it was because the creatures underground were digging tunnels for those plants to let them come down.

This is the way of coexistence of life belonging to the entire forest. At this time, the tree becomes a tree, not a carnivorous demon.

The weather is getting colder, Zhang Fan doesn't care about it, he is also a race that is often affected by the weather, sometimes it is hot and cold, and it is very open to things like winter.

But the real life hit it mercilessly, the weather gradually became colder, it was neither windy nor snowy, even if it tried its best to keep you cold, thick frost began to form on the ground.
