Spore Story

Chapter 64 Desert Edge
Time flies. (This guy actually has wings, meow.)
When Gaga stood under the mountains stretching for thousands of miles, there were only more than 300 of the more than 100 companions beside Yuan himself.

"However, we finally came out."

"Bitter..."

After the sandstorm, Quack continued on his way with the remaining tentacle quacks. The sandworms still persisted with the herd, but surprisingly, they only attacked the single tentacle quacks. Several counterattacks were ineffective. The quack decisively ignored the sandworm's pursuit, and made all the tentacle quacks closely unite around him, advancing towards the destination step by step.

Finally, the mountain range appeared in front of his eyes, and when the sandworm was approaching the edge of the mountain range, it seemed that it finally got bored and disappeared into the yellow sand all over the sky.

"Sinai!"

Looking at the pale yellow tail of the sandworm that seemed uncomfortable with the hilly area and finally left the herd and returned to the desert, Quack felt like crying.

"Is this the power of epic creatures?"

"Sure enough, even if we want to develop the ethnic group, the strength of the individual cannot be ignored."

"The current electric attack can only make the epic creature feel pain, but it can't kill or even paralyze the opponent at all, and the energy is insufficient."

"Those native civilizations were forced by the environment to survive, but..."

"I am the main consciousness, not an ordinary group individual. The species with the main consciousness are different from the original species from the beginning. I can make them use their physical conditions to obtain a stable living environment. Through my guidance, actively develop the theory of civilization.”

Looking at the more than 200 upright predators beside him, with a height of more than three meters and a strong body... Quack suddenly felt a little emotional. They are not weak, but they can only escape when facing epic creatures.

"Epic creatures, is the gap so big?"

"It's so confusing. I really don't know what to think. We really can't say it. Let's think about it after we sort out our thoughts slowly."

Shaking his head, Quack felt that he might be intimidated by the epic creature, after all, he was killed once by the other party, and then chased for so long.

"But then again, now that I think about it carefully, why did the sandworm never attack the herd, but instead attack the lone tentacle quack beast? If it rushed from the sand to the middle of the herd, the herd would not be able to deal with it at all. Say.

After staying in the desert for so long, the herd of beasts has never been attacked by sandworms, but they have been harassed several times by those daring groups of ordinary predators. "

"Uh," Gaga was taken aback for a moment, "It seems that as long as the beasts don't panic, they will basically not be attacked by the sandworms. In other words, wouldn't the sandworms think that the beasts are a huge beast of the same level? creature..."

"I didn't find out that the other party has eyes before, and maybe there may be mistakes in other perceptions."

"If that's the case, we were really wronged before. Fortunately, we let the herd of beasts move together later."

Take another look at the endless desert. "But I've come out, now I need to find the calcium carbide mine as soon as possible, then build the breeding point, and then return to the creature editing space, and take a good rest with 8051's company, the world of this creature is too tiring."

"I hope it will be easier after civilization."

Close your eyes, constrict and release the mental power that already has a radius of ten meters, and then release some electricity slightly, and the various perceptions of the body begin to improve in an all-round way.

This is not sustainable, but it is very effective in improving perception.

"It's near!"

Opening his eyes, Quack looked at a distant...well, it was a mountain.

For an individual consciousness like Gaga who has no measuring ability, what he can describe is "a little high, about a few hundred meters." And there are only a few hills between Gaga and this mountain .

"Then, after crossing the desert, although there are no snow mountains, we have to walk on hills, um... Let's say this is a long march."

Roaring again, they gathered the remaining more than 100 tentacle quack beasts, and let the three teams take the lead. Although they didn't know the so-called reconnaissance, they were already able to play a role in finding the way.

However, Quack can't move forward in person, excluding the factors that Quack considers for his own safety. This is probably a weakness of group animals. If the leader is killed, the group is prone to chaos. Tentacle quacks led by the main consciousness for a long time Even more so.

After Gaga died before, the entire group just insisted on its last order to move forward.

"This is what you gain and what you lose."

……

When he really left the boring desert and set foot on the hilly area where the vegetation is gradually recovering, sniffing the moist air mixed with the fragrance of plants, Gaga finally confirmed that his destination was about to arrive.

"You didn't get attacked by animals?"

Perhaps it was frightened by the huge group of tentacle quack beasts, and there were more than 20 tentacle quack beasts coming forward, so since entering the hilly area, there has been no battle. .

And because before entering the hills and after the sandworms left, Gaga led the herd to hunt for food and water, so the herd was not short of food and drinking water for the time being. The denser forests are gradually weakening the herd's numerical advantage.

no one in the forest
This is the main point of marching in ancient wars in the human period.

But it is obvious that Gaga has no military knowledge, the road it chooses is to go straight to the destination, surrounded by plants, so there is no such thing as a road.

Maybe Gaga was a little cautious at first, after all, he lived for so long, but after walking in the hills for a while, he found that all the animals consciously avoided the herd. The ability of the doctor did not find any dangerous plants infested.

So, at this moment, the anxious Quack just moved forward.

————————————————————————————————————————

The five tentacle quack beasts were separated from the herd by the forest, but they still insisted on the previous direction and ran towards the target mountain.

At this time, the tentacle quack beast in front of its head sensed a hint of danger, stopped, and at the same time blocked the companion behind it.

Several tentacle quacks that had caught up also sensed something was wrong one after another. They gathered together, guarding their surroundings while looking at a piece of grass not far away.

The breeze was blowing the grass and trees, and several tentacle quacks approached the grass little by little. At this moment, a bug suddenly emerged from the grass.

In terms of appearance, I would like to call it a larva, but the body that is about the same thickness as the tentacle quackmon's thigh does not look like a "young" insect, but the other party does not have a sense of danger.

Staring suspiciously at the slowly wriggling bug, the tentacle quack's simple head was confused about the source of its previous sense of danger.

The breeze continued to blow, and with the appearance of bugs, a scent began to fill the air.

Twitching their nostrils to sniff the air, several tentacle quacks once again turned their vigilant eyes to the worms that were squirming away from them.

Gah!
Maybe it's because I can't stand the weird feeling, or maybe I'm tired of a bug crawling around under my nose, a tentacled quack beast flicked its tail, and the sharp horns at the tip crashed into the bug's body without any hindrance , smashing it to pieces.

boom!
The sound of explosion appeared in the environment, and the tentacle quack beasts, who were surprised by the power of their tails, suddenly noticed that the concentration of aroma in the air increased sharply. Then, the five tentacle quack beasts shook their heads and fell to the ground one after another. Then he fell unconscious. (Toxic smoke is powerful ==)

There was a rustling sound, and the grass swayed abnormally again. Behind the killed insects, more and more chubby insects crawled out of the grass, slowly covering the body of the fallen tentacles, and then began to absorb the toxins gradually decomposed into Liquid nutrition.

Then, the worms, who were full of food and drink, left the battlefield, found a dense forest, climbed up those tall trees, and spit out strands of silk threads from their mouths to wrap their whole bodies. Densely packed pupae. (Sure enough, it's a larva)
The time was ahead, when the tentacle quack smashed the head bug, quack was leading the group across several hills, and the perceived hill was already close at hand.

Hell Butterfly Hunting Quest
Goal: Hunt 5 Hell Butterflies (0/5)

Reward: 200 (evolution value)
pupation component
】

"Ok?"

Hearing the sudden mission, Quack stopped her galloping legs in doubt and looked around, but found no enemies or dangers.

"The Hell Butterfly? A mission that suddenly started after hunting five of them but not killing one?"

Based on the previous tasks that were inexplicably completed by the accomplices, Gaga thought of other tentacle quack beasts.

"Pupational components? Worms turn into butterflies, which tentacled quack beast wiped out the mission started by a larva?"

"Which guy ran too fast and accidentally stepped on a larva, hehe." Gaga raised his left foot, there was no living things except the soil, and the right foot also said, "It's not me, um. Gather."

When the group finally assembled and there was no more tentacled quack beast jumping out of the woods, quack lamented the disturbance of the forest to his herd, and counted the number of individuals through the gaps in the forest.

"A few are missing."

"It seems that things are not that simple." Looking around vigilantly, Gaga stood by a small tree with his back to the group, and after counting again, all the tentacle quacks gathered together.

Let the beasts rest and wait for orders, Quack led dozens of tentacle Quack beasts to search along the way, and soon found the previous battlefield, but only a few white bones covered with fine scales remained.

"Damn it, it's too late." He continued to search around, but found nothing, so Gaga had to temporarily put aside his doubts and return to the herd.

"It has arrived."

Not far in front of the herd of beasts, across a hill, separated by a few woods, the dots of gray-white open-pit calcium carbide mine are on the mountainside in front of you, exuding boundless temptation.

"In this case, first find a place to build a breeding site around there, and then go to investigate the problem of the Hell Butterfly. You need to be careful now."

"However, you can also consider the issues of upgrading evolution and grouping." (Lazy waist)

"But let's clean up the surrounding area first. Didn't we say that we need a stable breeding point, so there should be no threat, Hell Butterfly, Quack."

PS: Thanks to the stars of ** for providing the underworld fire butterfly, of course the hell butterfly is its close relative. =w=
