Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 142: White worm

On a large ice field, only Shao Xuan is left. ∮

It's very quiet all around.

Although the surroundings are full of fog and can't be seen far away, from time to time, you can still hear the sound of eagles of different sizes, or the sound of those giant beast walking around, or they are eating the icicles. .

But now, all the sounds that I heard every day in the past are gone.

Shao Xuan has a feeling of isolation.

However, without those giant eagle, he also intends to take a good look at this ice field. After coming to it, because there are all giant eagle around, he did not dare to walk away. Now that the eagle has flew away, do n’t worry Already.

Even if his vision is limited, already records in his mind the general topography in range as seen in his vision during the time when the fog disappears.

Just be careful, it should be fine.

Shao Xuan walks on this ice field located on the top of high mountains. Because of the habit of weekdays, walking movement is very small. In addition, the surrounding area is very quiet now. Subconsciously, Shao Xuan has also moved lightly.

although is cautious, but it's not slow.

In front is the cliff abyss flying down by the flock of eagles. Shao Xuan naturally does not go forward, but walks horizontally along the ice field.

To prevent an accidental fall into the abyss, Shao Xuan is a bit further from the border.

There are several already in the length of the heart, but it is unknown how far it is in the horizontal direction. Even when the fog is gone, Shao Xuan fails to see the boundary.

There are still some big footprints on the ground of the ice field. The icicles are all traces of pecking and biting. Some are large and some are small.

Sometimes, Shao Xuan also saw several very huge icicles, and such huge icicles will naturally be favored by the larger giant eagles. Just look at the traces above to know. Most of the peck marks are above, and it is no longer clear from the upward direction. However, near the ground, there are only a few small peck marks or no peck marks. giant eagle will not always lower their heads to bite.

Shao Xuan was walking, suddenly heard a snoring sound. Not too loud, but because the surroundings are too quiet, this sound is more pronounced.

This kind of sound is not the sound of giant eagle walking. When giant eagle is walking here, most of them have a sense of heaviness, they are very generous, and do not avoid anything. But the sound at this moment always makes Shao Xuan feel a sense of caution.

The voice is getting closer. Shao Xuan hid behind a huge icicle, carefully watching the creature getting closer in the mist.

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

Snake?

No, not a snake.

It's not as long as a snake, and it walks differently than a snake. It looks more like a bug.

Stone Worm?

Mountain rocks are more common than Stone Worm.

But soon. Shao Xuan knows it's wrong.

This is not Stone Worm, but a meat worm that resembles a butterfly larva.

This worm is thicker than Shao Xuan thighs. It is nearly four meters long, snow-white, and has a slick head. There is also a tight neck between the head and the body.

Apart from looking bigger, it seems to be no different from other butterfly larvae, but look closely. But many differences can be found.

A lot of butterfly larvae that Shao Xuan saw in the hunting ground were three pairs of pectoral feet, four pairs of gastropods, and one pair of tail feet. Three pairs of gastropods are similar to three pairs of tailfoot, pectoral and tailfoot, but not the other.

The fronts of the chest, foot and tail are hooked, while the stomach feet carry suction cups. The bang that the Shao Xuan heard just now is the sound of it crawling on the ice field.

It's a strange worm.

Shao Xuan did not expect to see such an creature in such a cold place. Generally, they should live in warmer areas.

I'm not sure if this worm has attack power. Shao Xuan didn't move, just stood behind the icicle quietly, watching the snow-white meat worm crawling closer.

It crawled for a while, then stopped, then stood on the ground with its stomach and tail feet, stood at the front, seemed to be identifying something, then determined a direction, and continued to climb.

At this point, you are coming in the direction of Shao Xuan.

Discovered?

Shao Xuan is on guard, putting his hand on the knife handle silently.

However, worm stopped in front of the icicle, and then Shao Xuan heard the sound of a small cricket.

Feeling the vibration from the icicle, Shao Xuan knows that this worm is eating the icicle.

Its target was only icicles and no Shao Xuan was found.

Shao Xuan and the worm, one on this side of the icicle and one on the other side. Shao Xuan does not have a probe to observe, but judges the approximate behavior of worm based on hearing and the tremor from the back of the icicle.

The snoring sounded for about two hours, then worm changed places to look for other icicles, and Shao Xuan followed quietly. Sometimes, there is no block of icicles. As long as Shao Xuan is more cautious, worm will not notice Shao Xuan. In his eyes, he seemed to be indifferent to everything else, and he was looking for food.

Shao Xuan found that the icicles selected by worm are those that are thick, because most of the thick icicles are very long, they are larger giant eagle food, and most of the places where they are gnawed are above the icicles. , Rarely stunned near the ground. And worm, the goal is that the coarse icicles are close to the ground and are not eaten by giant eagle.

Is it cleanliness or afraid of the smell left by giant eagles?

Shao Xuan don't know.

However, after clarifying its preferences, Shao Xuan became more skillful when it followed.

Looking at the traces of white worms eating on the icicles, Shao Xuan found that this worm eats much faster than him, and the bite force is not lost to giant eagle, but it is very small in each bite. It's fast, so the snoring sounds are very dense.

When the surrounding light is getting darker and near dusk, the worm stopped looking for food and went back to the place where it climbed up.

Shao Xuan still follows it.

As you go further, the fog becomes thinner. When you climb up the ice field, 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 arched its slender body after reaching the edge, and then extended the front part of the body down along the steep slope, and then moved the back of the body, the two ends contacted each other. Qu Yishang looks like an arch bridge.

It has hooked chest, foot and tail feet, holding the ice and rocks tightly so that the body will not slide down the steep slope. Shao Xuan looked down. The white worm moved quickly and was very stable. Such a steep **** was almost flat to him.

Looking at time of day, Shao Xuan didn't follow up, but turned back, leaned against an icicle, fell a bit of ice, and slept.

The next day.

Shao Xuan saw the white worm again. It crawled back to the ice field along the route of yesterday's return, and began the same hunting journey as yesterday.

Shao Xuan continues to follow. Shao Xuan on the ice sheet has not seen other creature. It is rare to encounter such a strange species. Shao Xuan intends to observe more.

Every day, the white worm crawls up this ice field shortly after the sun rises, looks for the thick icicles that have not been pecked by giant eagle, and eats them. Each icicle will only Eating one third of the cross section will not break the icicles.

After observing the white worm for five days, Shao Xuan intends to take a look at it as it goes down.

Shao Xuan can handle such steep slopes.

The situation on the steep **** is much better than the ice field of mountain top. The fog is not so thick. Even if there is fog in the place close to the mountain wall, it is very thin. In many cases, you can directly contact the sun.

Because of it, Shao Xuan is a little farther away from the white worm, and then immediately follows. But soon, Shao Xuan found that the white worm was much faster than him, much faster than when it was on the ice sheet. Before long, Shao Xuan was thrown away.

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

He changed his strategy. When the white worm climbed up the ice field the next day, Shao Xuan did not follow it, but went down the steep **** and down the mountain.

White worms will leave traces on the rocks and thick snow and ice layers. As long as Shao Xuan follows these traces, it will know where it went down the mountain.

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

Looking at the length of the white worm, you can quickly find it according to its walking pattern. In addition, Shao Xuan is down the mountain during the day, and such potholes are not difficult to find.

Shao Xuan keeps going down, from above mountain top, from time to time, a violent wind blows, and with many small ice particles, hits Shao Xuan directly. Shao Xuan can only carry it, and firmly grab the rock or the hard ice layer covered on the rock. If it is negligent, it will fall directly, and it will undoubtedly fall from here.

When flying up the mountain, Cha-Cha and the big eagle took almost half a day, but Shao Xuan has now spent more than half a day, but not even one third has arrived.

However, just here, the trace of the white worm stopped falling, but went along the horizontal line and went elsewhere.

Shao Xuan followed the trace, and continued to search. Finally, beside a protruding rock, a nest made of silk threads was seen.

Shao Xuan knows that there are some meat bugs that use spitting silk to sew both sides of the leaves to together to form a "leaf nest", or in a hollow place, pull a layer of silk to build a simple nest. When they are resting, they hide in such a lair, and when they are active, they will come out from there and look for food.

This is often seen in several hills around the tribe. Sometimes when you peel a rolled leaf or inwardly folded leaf, you will find a worm child hiding inside.

Now what Shao Xuan sees is the nest built by the white worm.

Silk is very transparent. It is strange that these silks are not reflective. If it wasn't for Shao Xuan following the trace and blocked by this layer of silk, they would not have been found.

Touch it, pull it and see how it feels. It's not bad. The first response of Shao Xuan is that this kind of thread is just too suitable for traps, just don't know how long these wires can last.

However, Shao Xuan will not move these threads for the time being. Observe the white worm first, otherwise it will be bad to start it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
