"Is this regurgitating indigestible things from the stomach and intestines? In other words, those big bugs probably don't have a special excretion port"
Allen muttered to himself while putting on the gas mask and gloves that he had prepared. He carefully took some with tweezers and placed them in the test tube to seal them.
As a person with reasonable knowledge of biology, he knew that these feces-like excretions are likely to contain the unique bacterial groups in giant worms, and these bacterial groups will help researchers understand this creature in depth. This can even be used to infer the original environment of the creature.
If it is really a species from the Dark Continent, then we can also take this opportunity to learn about the ecological conditions of the Dark Continent, especially in terms of microorganisms.
But just as he finished sampling, Allen suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, followed by a giant red worm slowly crawling in from the nearby tunnel, opening its large ring-shaped mouth full of fangs, and kept moving toward the ground. It spits out a mixture of brown viscous liquid and bone hair of different sizes.
Due to the relatively close distance, he could clearly see that this worm had no eyes at all and relied entirely on the dense villi on the surface of its red skin to sense surrounding vibrations. Even if it was illuminated by the light source of a flashlight, it would not produce any reaction.
¡¾Living in groups? ¡¿
Such a year suddenly appeared in Allen's mind.
There is no doubt that this is not the one I met at the beach before, because there is no mind line connected to its body.
In order to figure out the situation, he and Rubes quickly entered a desperate state, carefully avoiding this behemoth and slowly exploring forward along the tunnel at the rear.
After a while, I discovered a shocking scene in another cave.
It was a large concave pit, densely packed with millions of red worm larvae, each one only as thick as a finger.
Unlike those giant adult worms, they are so fragile that they can be crushed with just a little force.
What¡¯s even more frightening is that the place where these larvae are located is not a simple pit, but an organ like the intestines of some giant beast. Some other adult worms around are vomiting primary digested food into the intestines.
When food is obtained, the red intestinal walls begin to wriggle violently, make a gurgling sound, and secrete some white mucus at the same time.
After the larvae touched the white mucus, they immediately rushed up like crazy and snatched the mucus frantically. Among them, those who ate too much expanded rapidly like a balloon, and in just a few seconds they grew to a full size. About meters.
Seeing this scene, Allen's face finally became solemn.
He finally realized that the giant worms that dominated the island were actually parasites in a larger creature, and this creature was the island beneath his feet!
That¡¯s right!
This island is alive!
¡°At least judging from those digestive organs like intestines, it is still alive.
As for whether he fell into a deep sleep or was recovering from serious injuries, it is unknown.
No hesitation!
Allen directly took out his camera to take a picture of this scene, and then released "Beast Knowledge" to check the detailed information of these bugs. Finally, he used his telekinesis to catch a few larvae, sealed them in a jar, and quickly followed the original route. return.
When they returned to the ground, Baldreau was the first to come over and ask: "How is it? What did you find?"
"Believe me, you will have nightmares at night after watching this. We must return to the Hunter Association immediately and report the situation here." Allen responded in a serious tone.
Now he finally understands the meaning of Jin Fulisi's sentence "It's just a coincidence that mankind has not perished yet."
Compared with the horror of the Dark Continent, the environment in which humans live is like a petri dish specially placed in a relatively safe place. Once invaded by species from the other side of Lake Mobius, there is an immediate danger of extinction. .
And the existence of "gatekeepers" is actually not to prevent humans from exploring the dark continent, but to protect the human world from extinction.
The so-called "five major disasters" that have been discovered are just the tip of the iceberg of dangerous creatures in the dark continent.
In this way, everyone rushed back day and night with the collected information and evidence.
Finally, in early November,At this time, we came to the Hunter Association again.
When Allen handed over all the photos, specimens, and records, it instantly caused a sensation like a magnitude 12 earthquake. Even v5 immediately dispatched specialists to investigate.
Especially the few live larvae brought back from the center of the island were directly sent to a fully enclosed laboratory for cultivation, observation and dissection.
About half a month later, an old man in his sixties came to Allen and said in an extremely serious tone: "Young man, thank you for finding a potentially huge threat for us. After research, We all agree that the threat level of the living island should be raised to A and be closely monitored. In return, in addition to those normal rewards, you can also make an additional request."
"Is that living island a species from the Dark Continent?" Allen probed with interest.
"It's not certain yet! But according to the judgment of biologists, it is very likely. Because those worms and their excrement contain at least dozens of bacteria and viruses that have never been found in the human world. Among them There are some extremely dangerous and lethal species.¡±
The old man didn¡¯t hide anything and openly stated the conclusion he had reached so far.
Because he knew who the young man in front of him was, and he also knew the result of the duel not long ago.
If nothing else happens, it is very likely that he will replace Nitro and become the new president of the Hunter Association in the near future.
As a representative of v5, he believes that we should maintain a good relationship with it, especially in protecting the world from threats from species in the dark continent, otherwise God knows when the human world will suddenly be destroyed overnight.
"If you don't mind, could you give me a copy of the report on those bacteria and viruses? I have a hunch that maybe they will be of great use before long."
After learning that unique bacteria and viruses were indeed found in the worms, Allen immediately chose to ask for them.
This is really important for future exploration of the Dark Continent!
Compared with threats that can be seen with the naked eye such as unknown weapons-gold and silver ingots, gas lifeforms-E, twin-tailed snakes-hell's bells, and nurturing beasts-Pap, he feels that microorganisms that are indistinguishable to the naked eye are the most dangerous. Dangerous stuff.
The old man nodded without thinking: "No problem! We share this information with the Hunter Association. You can go directly to Qi Duo among the twelve branches to ask for it. She has a backup in her hand. Now, you can say As long as it¡¯s not too much, I can immediately make a commitment on behalf of v5.¡±
"Socan I just set my personal information to be permanently confidential?"
Allen hesitated for a moment and quickly made a request that he thought was very reasonable.
This is inspired by the practice of Jin Fulis.
Because of this method of cutting off the source of intelligence at the source, anyone with a little bit of brains will understand how much energy is hidden behind it, and it can effectively scare away those guys who have bad intentions and want to make small moves.
"Haha, of course. In addition, we look forward to your active performance in the future. Goodbye, young man."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand and boarded the airship with several bodyguards and assistants. After a while, he disappeared at the end of the sky. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
