Chapter 1158 The Fate of Canned Food

Here is a huge underground space. ?

Most of the things here are shiny, and pure crystals cover every corner here, but there are also a group of things that are not crystallized here - caterpillars.

Where do these caterpillars come from, and what is their purpose?

Xuewu thought about this problem many times, but the history of the Emerald Dragon was not lacking in weird invaders, so it didn't care much after thinking about it for a while.

What it cares about is that these caterpillars seem to treat it as a real can. Just now, a caterpillar crawled over and took away some cans around it, and finally piled them in one place.

Blood Mist didn't know whether it should feel sad or happy, but it should be more sad anyway. Although it is alive now because the caterpillar did not regard it as suspicious, it knows that the final fate of all cans is to be eaten. Eat it or let it rot for too long.

What should be done? No matter how you think about it, Xue Mist feels that it is meaningless. In that case, just stay here.

While looking at the situation here, waiting for death... Fortunately, the situation here is quite interesting.

This is a large-scale caterpillar base, the same as the previous one, but it is located deeper underground. The one above seems to be used to modify creatures and make canned meat, so there are several huge honeycomb-shaped objects in the middle.

There are no honeycombs here. In fact, there are no big things here. There are just bridges made of crystals everywhere.

Caterpillars come and go here, most of them don't take anything, they may just pass by here, but many take cans from various corners and under the walls, and pile them up with the cans of blood mist.

Fortunately, these cans are very small and do not hinder Xue Wu's sight. Xue Wu can see most of the situations here, but he didn't notice anything special after looking at them for a long time.

The only special thing is that more and more cans are piling up around me, and the caterpillars don’t seem to be eating them, so maybe they don’t eat them here. It may be sent somewhere to be cooked before being eaten.

Xue Wu couldn't help but think of how he might be cooked... It had always been a guest at various food events, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn now...

"That's..." Suddenly, Xue Wu saw something special. He saw ten caterpillars crawling towards this direction. Behind these caterpillars is a floating... stone?

To be precise, it is a crystallized stone.

The size of this stone is more than ten meters, and its surface is uneven, so it looks like an ordinary stone covered with crystals.

But the stone was floating about half a meter above the ground, which surprised Xue Wu. The swarm of caterpillars and stones stopped before the pile of cans.

Then, the caterpillars dispersed, forming a circle around the stone, and kept swinging the soft spines on their bodies, not knowing what they were doing.

'Snapped! ’ Suddenly, Xue Wu heard a sound, like something exploding, and saw something rising slowly above the stone.

This thing... looks a lot like an amoeba. Generally speaking, it is a soft object. Xue Wu has encountered many such things in his dreams. So it feels that way at first glance.

It was a soft object about two meters in diameter. Its appearance was almost the same as the crystal. Then a caterpillar climbed up and slowly carried the amoeba off the stone and landed on the ground.

The surrounding caterpillars immediately started to move, and the blood mist revealed that the caterpillars picked up the surrounding cans and threw them into the body of the amoeba.

Because it is opaque, the blood mist cannot see what happened to the can that was thrown in, but it is almost 100% certain that it was eaten.

Unexpectedly, these cans were actually used to feed amoeba. No wonder they don’t cook…

When Xue Wu was thinking this, the caterpillars also moved quickly. They threw all the cans into the amoeba's body. Xue Wu noticed that the amoeba was motionless during this period. But as the number of cans it eats increases, it slowly begins to... deform.

"Is this..."

Blood Mist noticed that the amoeba was slowly elongating its body, and a large number of lumps appeared from both sides of the body...

Then, a thin and long structure slowly rose up from its back, which was... the dorsal fin.

...Yes, this amoeba is turning into a fish.

Could it be that. Because most of the canned food it eats is made of fish, does it become a fish? Xue Wu looked at the situation in front of him in surprise, seeing that the amoeba had almost completed its transformation.

What it turned into was a creature called...'mudskipper', at least it looked like it, maybe because there were more mudskippers in the canned fish.

After all, most of the fish that can be caught at the beach are this kind of fish that can move on the ground, and some similar fish, such as 6-line sharks. They all look very similar. This amoeba becomes That's what they look like.

So the amoeba is now a fish that supports its body with fins like feet. Its huge eyes blink and then look around.

It seems to be moving... This amoeba was completely motionless before the change, but now it seems to have the ability to move.

The caterpillar stopped stuffing the canned meat into it, and instead placed the canned meat in front of... the 'mudskipper'.

It glanced at the chunk of meat, then opened its mouth and took it into its body, and then there was the sound of crushing crystals in its mouth.

When it eats canned food, it doesn't just eat the meat, it also eats the crystals surrounding the canned food.

The surrounding caterpillars continued to place more cans in front of it. Blood Mist soon discovered something that frightened it, that is, there were not many cans in front of it.

Soon, the caterpillar will be in front of it...already!

Several cans in front of the blood mist were taken away by the previous caterpillar, and the next second, another caterpillar came in front of it.

When the caterpillar saw the blood mist, it didn't simply take away other cans, but stayed here, as if hesitating... whether to take this strange emerald faucet can.

Blood Mist doesn't want to be taken, because after seeing the weird situation here, it doesn't want to commit suicide, but wants to see more of what happens next.

However, the caterpillar finally made up its mind and stretched out its soft spines, preparing to take away the blood mist.

And at the moment when the soft thorn was about to touch the blood mist... a sound rang out.

‘Whoosh——! ’

There was the sound of something sharp passing through the air, and a moment later, Xue Mist saw an... arrow stuck between it and the caterpillar. (To be continued.)
