Chapter 229 Salt Land and Extremely Salty Creatures

"what--!"

The screaming sound echoed above the salt ground.

The creature named Tarantula with the title of scholar was surprised why the small flower beside it could make such a sharp and loud sound.

But it was even more surprised by the group of huge creatures in front of it.

This kind of creature just emerged from the ground. Their skin is white, with many cracks and pimples on it. It looks like... the surface of this salt field.

And their body size is more than two meters, the legs are almost short and pressed under the body, and their bodies are close to spherical.

All this proves that this is a kind of Maoyu.

There are many hair jades, which have evolved into various forms, some even completely out of their previous appearance, while some hair jades retain their 'original form' during the ice age, that is, large and round bodies, small and small. Eyes and short legs, even though they have grown in size, they have not left this appearance.

And this kind of wool jade, scholars have also seen information, they are called 'salt jade', and their dry outer skin is hardened by a lot of salt.

They ingest large amounts of salt, which they excrete on the surface of their skin, where it solidifies on their epidermis, forming this pimple-covered 'shell'.

Any predator will refuse to kill them because the salt jade is too salty, and they can even tumble through the meat-cutting ant colony without being bitten at all

And salt jade prey, usually because too salty to die.

Scholars know that salt jade is a carnivorous creature. They have a special 'salt gland' in their body that they can inject large amounts of salt into the bite target, and then. It doesn't matter if the prey escapes, because of the high salt injection, the prey will die quickly.

This is a good way to hunt in this waterless wasteland, and with this ability, they are also one of the few creatures that live very happily on salty ground.

Looking at the approaching Yanyu, the scholar took out its video installation. According to the old way, it released the sound of flying dragons.

But accompanied by the roar of the dragon. Yanyu did not retreat, because Yanyu itself is not afraid of flying dragons... They are almost fearless because they are too salty!

A salt jade swings its calf. He slammed into the scholar with a sudden kick! These creatures seem to have short legs, but when they leap,

The fully extended leg is much longer than the body.

The scholar quickly stepped back, but the salt jade had already jumped in front of the scholar and bit its arm heavily.

The salt jade has a pair of needle-shaped injection teeth for injecting water mixed with high salinity in the body.

However, the scholar's hands were wearing armor, which, although made of wood, blocked Yanyu's attack. Then the scholar punched Yan Yu in the face.

'Snapped! ’ The salt blocks wrapped around Yan Yu’s face were smashed and splattered. The Yan Yu quickly stepped back, and the scholar temporarily entered a safe state.

But Yan Yu did not retreat. They were still staring at the scholars, as if they were about to launch a second attack, but it seemed that the Yanyus were hesitant because of the failure of a Yanyu attack just now.

"What should I do..."

Watching Yanyu's siege, the scholar couldn't help but step back a few times. The armor on his hand was made when he pieced together the aircraft. However, Yanyu's teeth have been cracked on it, because these creatures do not only have injection teeth. There are also bone-crushing teeth. In addition to hunting, they often find corpses on the salt floor to eat, so they are very good at crushing bones.

'click-'

The scholar couldn't help but take another step back, but at this moment, there was a sound from under its feet.

The scholar glanced down, and it found that there were a lot of cracks under its feet...

"Shouldn't it be here..."

'boom! ' Suddenly, the ground beneath the scholar's feet cracked open, and it fell with it...

………………

"Where is this...that...what is..."

When its eyes opened, it found itself in darkness.

However, this place is not completely dark, and in front of it, there is an object emitting a ghostly light.

This light is very soft, not dazzling, nor dim... Its special luster makes the scholar prop up his tired body and walk towards the object that emits this light.

"What a nice view……"

There is only this thought in the mind of the scholar now, and as it gets closer, the object emitting light becomes clearer and clearer.

It was a tree about five meters high.

Unlike ordinary trees, its whole body does not have a hint of green, but a combination of blue and purple, and its soft, fluorescent limbs hang around the branches like tentacles.

Its light attracts scholars to approach step by step, and scholars can't help but want to touch this tree, it feels that its body is out of control...

'pat. ’ When the scholar walked under the tree, it suddenly heard a sound, and when he turned his head to look, the scholar immediately saw the skull of a creature, staring straight at the scholar with empty eyes, which instantly made the scholar feel a little bit of fear.

And it was this fear that made the scholar wake up immediately. It quickly took a few steps back. Only then did it see clearly that there was a skeleton hanging on the tree in front of it, and the head of the skeleton had just fallen off. That awakened the minds of scholars...

The scholar took a few steps back in succession, and after confirming that he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I fell into a strange place..."

The scholar looked up and found the hole where he fell. It didn't seem to be high, only more than ten meters. Beside the hole, the salt jade was still looking this way, but none of them seemed to want to jump in.

And the place where the scholar landed was covered with a lot of soft sand, so it was not injured

In order not to continue to lure Yanyu into the idea of ​​jumping in, the scholars left their sight and walked towards the tree that attracted them just now.

This tree, scholars have seen some information, seems to be a plant subspecies called 'Medusa tree', which has a very wonderful... hunting ability.

But as long as you don't get close, there should be no danger.

But scholars are currently most concerned about water. After some previous events, it has already felt very thirsty. It must find a water source quickly, otherwise...

"Have to hurry..."

The scholar looked around and found that it was a cave, the ground was covered with soft sand, and there were many passages around.

Judging from the bones on the tree, there should be creatures living here, and it should be able to find a water source.

However, to find the water source, it must also rely on the imaging device in its hands. This thing is quite useful. It can detect the water content in the air and find places that may have water... (To be continued) R752
