Chapter 3431 Food
A gray-white stone was carefully dug out from the bottom of a deep pit by Ge Geguan.
It’s hard to imagine that the ‘food’ that Ge Geguan refers to is actually the stone in front of him.
But thinking about it, considering the living environment of the defeated world where even fourth- and fifth-level creatures are struggling to survive, it is absolutely impossible for low-level animals and plants to exist here.
Without producers and bottom organisms, it would be difficult to form a complete food chain.
Looking at this hungry wasteland, it seems that there is nothing but hard soil and stones.
"It doesn't seem to be an ordinary ore. I need to take some samples for detailed comparison." Lilith said while touching her chin.
The gray reptile creature is very methodical when searching for these gray-white stones. It basically only digs inside deep pits or areas where there are regular phenomena.
The probability of this kind of gray-white stone appearing is not high, and the appearance of each piece makes Ge Geguan express his inner satisfaction.
And according to Gegeguan himself, he spent more than 90% of the more than 600 years in the Hungry Wasteland relying on eating these gray-white stones.
And in the area where it lives, these gray-white stones have become the main currency used by several nearby neighbors to barter.
Gegeguan worked very quickly, and Locke also got two gray-white stones at Lilith's request.
As for those regular shadows filled with huge energy fluctuations, Locke finally thought about it and went deep into them to experience them like a skeleton.
The elemental baptism process that made Greg Calton feel painful was relatively acceptable to Locke.
The slight strengthening of the bones on the body's surface was born with the baptism of energy elements, but what made Locke more concerned was that this strengthening process was based on the super-intensive metabolism of his cells. (first published by Zongheng)
Old cells die in large numbers, and new generation cells continue to appear.
No wonder Gegeguan has strengthened his skin constitution to such an extent in just over 600 years. Locke cannot say whether this rapid passive evolution process is good or bad at the expense of lifespan and the origin of life.
On the contrary, for a being like him who has a long lifespan and extremely strong life source, it is a good way to strengthen his physique and improve his passive evolution level.
...
Half a month later, all the shadows of the rules and the dense light of the energy elements dissipated.
The world has once again returned to a lonely, desolate, and barren low-demon environment.
Only the cracked earth and the damaged ground after the storm were proof of what happened here half a month ago.
Although the regular shadows and excess energy elements are gone, the gray-white stones that have a certain probability of appearing at the bottom of the pit are still there.
According to Gegeguan himself, when energy storms do not occur, he either hides in his secret lair and sleeps to reduce his body's energy consumption.
Or they are searching for some possible gray-white stones in this vast and barren land.
However, since every powerful creature living in the hungry wasteland has its own territory and activity area, crossing the boundary basically means the beginning of killing and fighting, so Gegeguan still mainly sleeps most of the time.
"Judging from the strong suction of energy elements in this world, the body's passive evolution and physical training process should not stop even during the period of dormancy." Lilith said.
Then, she suddenly walked up to Ge Geguan and asked, "You must be very hungry, right?"
Lilith's question can be said to have hit Gegeguan's heart at once.
Hungry? Of course I'm hungry!
If he were not hungry, Gegeguan would not be so pitiful as to eat dirt.
The vast majority of flesh and blood creatures in the Land of Despair, like the Grigg Skull, feed on these gray-white stones as their main food. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why this gray-white stone is regarded as a major popular currency.
It was also due to Lilith's inquiry and the fact that Locke and others seemed to be easy to talk to. In the end, Gegeguan couldn't bear the desire for food in his heart and asked with pleading, "Several adults have some food brought from the star realm?" Food?”
"I haven't smelled meat, except my own, in over four hundred years."
"Plants are fine, as long as they can give me a cushion!" Ge Geguan said with great expectation.
Judging from the skinny appearance of this guy, you can guess that it has not lived a good life in the past few hundred years.
Even though Gege Skull has a fifth-level strength level, in fact, this guy's overall class level in the Land of Despair can only occupy a lower-middle position.
Of course, there were originally many fourth-level creatures who were exiled here in the Land of Despair.
But fourth-level creatures...existences revered as 'gods' in the star world were thrown here and became creatures at the bottom of the food chain.
In a regular environment where material energy and food elements are extremely scarce, if you don't eat others, you must be prepared to be eaten by others.
The 'Chewer Bephaum' that Grid Calvary has been mentioning before can be said to be a middle-level, or upper-middle-level creature in the food chain in the Land of Despair.
As for the upper echelons of the food chain in the Land of Despair, they must be 'pseudo-desperate' who have reached level six combat power.
Only the 'desperate ones' at the sixth level of peak strength can truly be said to be at the top of the food chain in this region.
Whether there are seventh-level creatures in this world, Gegeguan doesn't know, and Locke and Lilith won't jump to conclusions at will.
Due to the relationship with the secret treasure of Paradise Lost, Locke, Lilith and others do not need to deal with Gregor for the time being.
He is also worried about the food problem, and with Locke's strength, it is enough to dispel the prying eyes of ordinary desperate people and pseudo-desperate people.
But Locke and others will not swell because of this. Who knows what kind of terrifying life forms this energy-poor and bitter cold place will breed.
Lian Ge Ge Guan had beaten his body to such a terrifying level in just over six hundred years.
Those sixth-level beings who have lived in the land of despair for thousands, ten thousand years, or even longer, their physical strength must have reached such a terrifying level.
However, Locke did not express too much concern about this, because here, the more powerful the creature, its lifespan will inevitably become increasingly rare.
Gege Calvary said that the pseudo-desperate people in the Hungry Wasteland had rarely taken action in the past six hundred years. Locke guessed that it was not that they did not want to eat each other, but that they did not have the ability.
The rapid acceleration of passive evolution is also accompanied by excessive loss of life span and life source power.
Here, even one breath consumes several times the life span outside. Those who stand at the top of the food chain should not be thinking about fighting among themselves, but how to leave this terrible world.
Only by returning to the star realm can their life expectancy return to normal.
Only star realms that are rich and full of infinite possibilities will have opportunities or secret treasures that can extend their lives and even advance their lives to a higher level.
