Chapter 758 Back

"Lan Yu, if you want to hide, how is the best way to hide?"

Zi Zi once asked Lan Yu this question. Lan Yu thought about it, but didn't come up with the best answer.

"Is it hiding in a place where no one can find it?" Lan Yu asked back.

"Where is such a place? If this place really exists, it will definitely be found."

"Then how should I hide?" Lan Yu was a little confused.

"On the contrary, I have to hide in a place where anyone can find it." Zi Zi explained.

"Why?"

"Because the key to hiding is hiding, not hiding."

Zi Zi and Lan Yu talked about a small creature that they often observed.

That creature is not smart, and its combat power is also very weak. It is at the bottom of the food chain in the eternal night, and anyone can bully them.

But they live very comfortably in the dark...

"They have a unique name, called-back cats."

Back cats have an ability that allows them to attach to the backs of other creatures.

This "adsorption" is like a strong magnet, which will not have any effect on the creatures being adsorbed. Those creatures can't even feel the existence of the cat, but only feel a chill on their backs.

After adsorption, the cat is fixed on the back of the creature. They will not harm the creature being adsorbed, but follow behind the creature, eat the leftovers of the attached creature, and use the strength of the attached creature to deter other predators.

Therefore, the cat usually chooses powerful solitary predators for adsorption, and follows behind as a follower.

In addition to feeling cold on their backs, these predators will never notice the existence of the cat. Even if they turn around to check, the cat will quickly move to the blind spot of the predator's vision, and the predator will only think that they have an illusion.

The cat has no smell on its body and will not make any sound. It just follows the adsorbed creature to eat leftovers, pretending to be powerful.

They are very small in size. After hunting, those powerful predators often leave a lot of leftovers. Just a little bit of meat on the ground is enough for the cat to eat very full, and there will be no traces of eating, which will lead to the discovery of the predator.

When the adsorbed can't find prey, they eat the debris dropped by the predator and the insects trampled to death by the predator along the way, and they can still live comfortably.

Their stomachs will change size and flora according to the hunting rules and eating habits of the predator, store food during the hunting window, enhance the digestion efficiency of food that the predator "doesn't like to eat", and form a "complementary relationship" with the predator as much as possible.

If the predator doesn't like to eat bones, they will gnaw on bones, if the predator doesn't like to eat internal organs, they will swallow internal organs, if the predator eats everything and eats it cleanly, they will gnaw on the blood-stained soil on the ground, and then discharge the soil through their own digestive system. Anyway, there is always a way to get food.

Only when the adsorbed person dies or the back cat is discovered by a stronger predator, it will release the adsorption, escape to other places, and start looking for other adsorbed people.

The stronger the predator's insight ability evolves, the stronger the back cat's concealment ability evolves. They evolve to have no smell on their bodies, the pads on their soles evolve to be thicker and thicker, the hair evolves to be able to change color, and they can always stay behind the adsorbed person even when they are asleep. The various pheromones released from their bodies evolve to disappear, and even structures that block ultrasonic detection appear on their skin.

In order to hide better, they make themselves completely "invisible".

"No matter where you hide, you will be discovered by those predators. Their eyes are always staring at the front. Only the back that has been explored long ago will make them relax their vigilance."

"Those back cats know this very well. They are not hiding, but hiding. They evolve their bodies to the extreme of hiding, so that predators can never find them..."

Lan Yu heard admiration from Zi Zi's words. Zi Zi admired those tenaciously surviving back cats and lamented the greatness of their lives.

"Have you been observing those small creatures?"

"Of course, we are different from them in life form, and there is no difference between us and them. Any life has its own greatness and is worth learning, just like the cat on its back. I can learn how to hide from them."

"Indeed, I can learn a lot. It seems that I have to observe carefully..." Lan Yu agreed.

It has been busy building the spectrum and has no time to observe various creatures.

"Why do you suddenly ask me this question? Where do you want to hide?" Lan Yu asked with concern.

"Of course not, Lan Yu, you are always so pragmatic. I just had a sudden idea. Maybe one day I will use it. I also want to see what you think. Maybe I can learn new ideas from you."

"I'm sorry... It seems that you didn't learn anything from me." Lan Yu said apologetically.

"I'm not here to talk to you to learn anything from you."

"Then why do you want to talk to me?"

"I don't know, I just want to, isn't that okay? Don't you want to talk to me?"

"Well..." Lan Yu thought for a moment and gave a positive answer: "I do."

I really want to...

...

A cool breeze blew, and Mo Ling's hand passed over the joyer's shoulder and grabbed the flowing purple light.

The purple light turned into a ball and was caught by Mo Ling in front of him.

The Joyer was completely stunned. When Mo Ling took his hand back, it looked stiffly at Mo Ling's hand.

At the first glance, it exclaimed:

"Purple!"

"Can you see it?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

"I see it! I see it!" The Joyer said excitedly, flipping through his transparent book.

"The illustration is also complete! It is definitely it!"

It couldn't suppress its inner joy and was about to pounce on Mo Ling, but stopped its reckless behavior in time.

"Can you see it again? You can't see it when it's on you?"

While thinking about the strange properties of the purple light, Mo Ling raised the purple light in front of him.

The purple light that was just like a cloud had turned into a ball of mud and lay softly in his hand. There was nothing strange about it.

But after being caught by him, the Joyer was able to observe it, without the need for Xiao Zi as a "filter".

"It's like you can't see what's behind you..."

Is the purple hiding in this way?

Not hiding in a certain place, but everywhere?

Behind every creature there is... The longer you stay in the spectrum, the more intense the purple light on your body will be.

"What a clever hiding."

Mo Ling couldn't help but sigh.
