Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 142: White worm

On the vast expanse of ice, only Shao Xuan was left. ∮

The surroundings are very quiet.

Usually, although there are fogs around, I can't see far, but from time to time I can hear some screams of different sizes, or the sounds of the giant beasts moving back and forth, or the movement of them to eat icicles.

But now, the voices that have been heard every day in the past have all disappeared.

Shao Xuan has the feeling of being trapped in isolation.

However, without those giant eagle, he also planned to take a good look at this piece of ice sheet. After coming to this place, because there are all the giant eagle around, he did not dare to go away. Now that the eagle has left, you don’t have to care. .

Even if the field of view is limited, he has already recorded the general topography within the scope of the field of vision during the time when the fog has dispersed.

Just be careful, it should be no big deal.

Shao Xuan walked on this ice sheet located on the top of the mountain. Because of the habits of the weekdays, the movements were very small, and now it is very quiet around here. In the subconscious, Shao Xuan also puts light on the movement.

Although cautious at the foot, the speed is not slow.

In front of the cliff abyss flying under the eagle group, Shao Xuan naturally does not go forward, but walks along the ice field.

In order to prevent an accidental fall into the abyss, Shao Xuan is farther away from the border.

The length of the vertical has already been counted, but how far is the lateral direction, it is not known, even when the fog is dispersed, Shao Xuan can not see the border.

There are some big footprints on the ground of the ice sheet. The icicles are all traces of bites, some are big and some are small.

In the middle, Shao Xuan has seen several very large icicles, and such huge icicles will naturally be favored by the larger giant eagle, and you can see the traces above. Most of the scars are on the top, and the upper ones are not clear. When there are only a few small scars or no bite marks near the ground, the giant eagle will not always bow their heads.

Shao Xuanzheng walked and suddenly heard a buzz. Not big, but because the surroundings are too quiet, this sound is more obvious.

This kind of sound is not the sound of the giant eagle walking. When the giant eagle walks around here, most of them carry a heavy feeling, and they are very generous and do not evade anything. But this kind of sound at the moment always makes Shao Xuan feel a cautious and careful.

The sound is getting closer and closer. Shao Xuan hides behind a huge icicle, paying careful attention to the creatures that are getting closer and closer in the fog.

Gradually, Shao Xuan saw a long figure in the fog.

snake?

No, not a snake.

It is not as long as a snake, and the way it moves is different from a snake. It looks more like a worm.

Stone worm?

In the rocky areas of the mountains, the more common ones are the stone worms.

But very soon. Shao Xuan knew that he was wrong.

This is not a stone worm, but a worm that resembles a butterfly larva.

This insect is thicker than Shao Xuan's thigh. Nearly four meters long, the body is snow white, has a round head, and there is a tight neck between the head and the body.

It seems that except for the larger size, it seems to be no different from other butterfly larvae, but look closely. But you can find a lot of differences.

Many of the butterfly larvae that Shao Xuan saw in the hunting ground were three pairs of chest feet, four pairs of gastropods, and a pair of tail feet, while the front was three pairs of chest feet. Three pairs of gastropods, and three pairs of tail feet, chest and foot are very similar, but not to the abdomen.

The front ends of the chest and tail are hooked, while the gastropods have suction cups. The sound of Shao Xuan heard just now is the sound of it crawling on the ice sheet.

Very strange insect.

Shao Xuan did not expect that in such a cold place, he would actually see such a creature. In general, they should live in warmer areas.

Uncertainty about whether this worm has attack power, Shao Xuan did not move, just quietly standing behind the icicles, observing the snow-white worm that climbed closer and closer.

It crawled for a while, stopped for a moment, then used the gastropod and the tail to support the ground, raised the front end, seemed to be identifying something, then determined a direction and continued to climb.

At this point, I am coming in the direction of Shao Xuan.

Was it discovered?

Shao Xuan was stunned and his hand was silently placed on the handle.

However, the worm stopped in front of the icicles, and Shao Xuan heard the sound of a small smash.

Feel the vibration from the icicles, Shao Xuan knows that this insect is eating icicles.

Its goal is only icicles, and Shao Xuan was not found.

Shao Xuan and the worm, one on the side of the icicle and one on the other. Shao Xuan did not have a probe to observe, but relied on the shock and the sensation of the icicles on his back to judge the general behavior of the insect.

The snoring sounded for about two hours, and the worm changed places to find other icicles. Shao Xuan quietly followed. Sometimes, without the icicle block, as long as Shao Xuan is cautious, the worm will not notice Shao Xuan. In its eyes, it seems that it doesn't care about everything else, and one mind is looking for food.

Shao Xuan discovered that the icicles selected by the worm were thick, because the thick icicles were mostly long, and the giant eagle was foraging. The place where the quilt was licked was mostly above the icicle. There are very few beggars close to the ground. And the worm, the target is the place where the thick icicles are close to the ground and are not foraged by the giant eagle.

Is it Jie Jie or afraid of the smell left by the giant eagle?

Shao Xuan did not know.

However, after figuring out its preferences, Shao Xuan was more skillful when he followed.

Look at the traces of the white worms on the icicles. Shao Xuan found that the worm had eaten much faster than him. The bite force did not lose to the giant eagle, but it was very small and eaten. It’s fast, so the sound of listening is very dense.

When the light around it became darker and darker, the worm stopped looking for food and went back to the place where it climbed.

Shao Xuan still followed it.

The more out the fog, the thinner the fog, and the place where you climbed the ice sheet, there is basically no fog.

At this time, Shao Xuan can see the white worm more clearly.

Where does it come from? Where are you going now?

I saw that the white worm, after reaching the edge, arched the slender body, then stretched the front part of the body down the steep slope, then moved the back of the body, the two ends touched each other, and when it moved, it stretched out. It looks like an arch bridge.

It carries the hooks and tails of the hooks, tightly hooking the ice and rocks, so that the body does not slide down the steep slope. Shao Xuan looked down, the white worm's movements were fast and steady, and such a steep **** was just as flat for it.

Looked at the sky, Shao Xuan did not follow, but turned back, leaning on an icicle, after licking some ice, he slept.

The next day.

Shao Xuan saw the white worm again. It climbed back to the ice field along the route of yesterday's return and began the same food-seeking journey as yesterday.

Shao Xuan continued to follow, Shao Xuan did not see other creatures on the ice sheet, and it was rare to encounter such a strange species. Shao Xuan planned to observe more.

Every day, the white worm climbed up the ice sheet shortly after the sun rose, looking for the large parts of the icicles that were not smashed by the giant eagle, and foraging, every icicle would only forage. One-third of the cross-section does not break the icicles.

After observing the white worm for five days, Shao Xuan planned to take a look at the past when it went down the mountain.

Such a steep slope, Shao Xuan can also cope.

The situation on the steep **** is much better than the ice sheet on the top of the mountain. It is not so thick fog. Even if there is fog in the place next to the mountain wall, it is very thin. Many times, it can directly contact the sunlight.

To be on the safe side, Shao Xuan was far away from the white worm and then followed. But soon, Shao Xuan discovered that the white worm was much faster than him, much faster than when it was on the ice sheet. Not long after, Shao Xuan was far away.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan returned to the ice field again.

He changed his strategy. When the white worm climbed into the ice field again the next day, Shao Xuan did not follow it. Instead, he followed the steep **** and went down the mountain.

The white worm will leave traces of walking on the rocks and thick layers of ice and snow. As long as Shao Xuan follows these traces, he will know where it is going down the mountain.

On the steep slope, there will be deep potholes where the white worms pass, and there are traces of hooks under the potholes.

Look at the body length of the white worm, and then quickly find it according to its walking rules. In addition, Shao Xuan is going down the mountain when it is white, and such a pothole is not difficult to find.

Shao Xuan has been going down, from the top of the mountain, a violent wind that will blow from time to time, and with many small ice particles, directly on Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan can only hold it and hold the rock or the hard ice layer covering the rock. If it is a negligence, it will fall directly and fall from here, and it will die.

When flying up the mountain, he and the big eagle spent nearly half a day, but Shao Xuan used it for a long time, but not even one third.

However, right here, the traces of the white worm stopped falling, but along the horizontal line, went to other places.

Shao Xuan followed the traces and continued to search. Finally, next to a protruding rock, he saw a nest made of silk.

Shao Xuan knows that there are some worms that use the spit silk to sew the two sides of the blade together to form a "leaf nest", or in a recessed place, pull a layer of silk to create a simple nest. When they are resting, they hide in such a nest. When the time is active, they will come out from the inside to find food.

In the hills around the tribe, you often see such a situation, sometimes peeling off a rolled leaf, or a leaf that folds inside, you will find a bug hiding inside.

Now, what Shao Xuan has seen is the white worm, the nest built here.

The silk is very transparent, and it is very strange that these silks are not reflective. If it is not Shao Xuan that follows the traces and is blocked by this layer of silk, they will not be found.

Touched, pulled to see the feel, not bad, Shao Xuan's first reaction is that this line is too suitable for the trap, just do not know how long these silk can last.

However, now Shao Xuan will not move these silk threads for the time being. Let’s first observe the white bug and say it, otherwise it will be bad if it is alarmed. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
