Chapter 181 Aliens in the Swamp
Su Yi and Lu Cao flew to the east of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland on the Steel Armored Raven.
The land under their feet has completely turned into a wasteland, with green as an embellishment and khaki as the dominant color.
After flying over a piece of rocky land composed of ups and downs, a stream meandered through the khaki curtain.
"Follow the water flow, we should be able to reach the shallow swamp." Su Yi said.
"Gaa." The Steel Armored Raven looked down and flew along the water flow.
The wind blew up, stronger than before, and the yellow sand that was blown up attacked Su Yi and his party.
The fine sand blew into the helmet through the gap of the mask, and Su Yi could only hold his mouth tightly and breathe carefully.
"Is the wind and sand getting stronger, meow?" Lu Cao called, burying his head in Su Yi's back to resist the wind and sand.
"This weather..." Su Yi looked up at the sky and looked at the endless sky in the distance.
The sky seemed to be overcast.
"Is it going to rain?"
This is not good news, which means that many traces will be washed away.
"Gah!" Steel Armored Crow reminded Su Yi.
Su Yi looked down and saw that many streams of water converged into a large swamp on the ground, and patches of purple plants grew on the muddy swamp.
"We've reached the shallow swamp. What's going on?" Su Yi patted Steel Armored Crow on the back and signaled it to land.
Su Yi and Lu Cao jumped off Steel Armored Crow and looked at the horrifying scene in front of them.
On the swamp, several bodies of ankylosaurs were lying in a mess.
As soon as Su Yi approached, some of the guide insects that flew out of the guide insect tank on his waist turned blue and attached to the wound of the ankylosaur.
Su Yi was shocked: "!"
"Is it an ancient dragon? Or a battle-hardened individual?" Su Yi immediately thought of two possibilities in his mind.
The guide insect will only turn blue when it encounters traces left by these two creatures.
There is no need to say much about ancient dragons, and the so-called battle-hardened individuals, from the precise definition, do not simply refer to individuals who have experienced many battles and have rich combat experience.
This needs to be explained from the unique earth vein energy of the New World.
Ancient dragons on the verge of death will migrate to the Miasma Valley and die there.
The huge energy contained in their bodies will enter the earth veins and flow to all parts of the New World through the earth veins covering the entire New World, providing energy for the animals and plants of the New World.
These earth vein energies will have a certain impact on monsters. Some monsters will become more powerful under the influence of earth vein energy over the years.
The body color of these individuals becomes brighter, their combat power becomes stronger, and they will condense the crystal containing the energy of the ancient dragon in their bodies-dragon vein stone.
And the more experienced individuals are in battle, the larger the dragon vein stone in their bodies will be, and their combat power will be stronger.
And because the earth vein energy they absorb is essentially the energy of the ancient dragon, when the guide insects discover their breath, they will turn into the same blue as when they encounter the traces of the ancient dragon.
Above this, the battle-hardened king is a level that only the ancient dragons can reach, because they have a long lifespan and can accumulate more huge energy in their bodies.
In general, a battle-hardened individual is one that has ancient dragon energy in its body and rich combat experience. It is a dangerous existence that is strong in both physical and experience.
Su Yi carefully observed the injuries of the ankylosaur.
The terrible piercing injury, the sunken body that was hit hard by something, and some hideous holes
These scattered corpses seemed to have been slaughtered in panic and fear before they died.
Su Yi first ruled out the possibility that it was done by the ancient dragon.
First, the ancient dragon that may appear in the wasteland of the big anthill does not cause the injuries that match the current situation.
Second, the ancient dragon is a proud creature. They generally do not kill weak creatures like the ankylosaur that are of no benefit to them.
And this trace made Su Yi vaguely guess.
"Heroosaurus..." Su Yi said, looking at the huge piercing wound.
And those dented corpses should have been hit by the tail hammer of the horned dragon that was like a double-headed war hammer.
"It's just that the ceratopsian probably doesn't like to appear in the swamp. It should prefer rocky and sandy land, and the marks of the holes and wounds are a little strange..."
"Besides, why would a vegetarian ceratopsian take the initiative to kill the ankylosaur?"
Just as Su Yi was trying to restore the whole process of the massacre in his mind.
On the other side, Lu Cao looked at the body of the ankylosaur curiously.
"There are some strange marks around here, meow." Lu Cao approached the ankylosaur and found some drag marks in the mud next to the body.
Gurgle...
"What's that sound, meow?!" Lu Cao was startled and looked at the source of the sound.
The belly of the ankylosaur suddenly trembled, as if something was squirming inside.
The next moment, a bloody figure rushed out of the hole and pounced on Lu Cao.
"Meow!?" Lu Cao's cat fur stood up, and he swung his knife subconsciously.
With a bang, the loach-like monster was beaten aside, but then it pounced on it with a "Guao" sound.
"What's wrong, Lucao?!" Su Yi heard the sound and immediately turned around to look.
The monster's cry was like a signal, and the abdomens of the surrounding ankylosaur corpses began to wriggle.
The next moment, several monsters of different sizes but the same shape broke out of their stomachs and pounced on Su Yi and Lucao.
At that moment, Su Yi could see the flesh and blood between the monsters' sharp teeth.
"What the hell!"
Su Yi was frightened by the scene that looked like an alien breaking its chest.
Guaaa!
A monster more than two meters long jumped up and rushed towards Su Yi.
"Get lost!" Su Yi knocked the monster away with his shield, then chopped it with a knife, and more monsters rushed over.
Steel Armor Crow fell from the sky, grabbed one and threw it far away.
Su Yi released the scratching bird and shouted, "Get it!"
"Gah!" The scratching bird picked up a stone in the swamp, jumped a few times, and smashed it at the monsters one by one.
After several monsters fell to the ground, the remaining monsters retreated and quickly disappeared into the mud.
"Huh! You scared me!"
Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then squatted down and carefully observed the monster that was ripped open by the scratching bird.
"This looks like a young mudfish dragon?"
Su Yi picked up the large long-legged mudskipper and identified the identity of these small monsters.
These mudfish dragon cubs, which look like loaches with legs, like to eat internal organs. They will drill into the host through various "holes" to eat flesh and blood.
Moreover, they have hook-shaped thorns on their gills to hold the host tightly and prevent it from escaping.
And the Ankylosauruses that were slaughtered by the Ceratopsians in front of them became their buffet.
"There are some strange holes and wounds on the Ankylosauruses, which should be caused by them." Su Yi nodded, and now the situation is much clearer.
Lu Cao calmed down and looked at the mudfish dragon cubs curiously. Suddenly, a mudfish dragon cub trembled.
"Meow! There are still alive meows!" Lu Cao shouted.
"Oh? Alive, then..." Su Yi took out a capture ball.
It is said that the ichthyosaur monsters such as mudfish dragons have been in this form for a long time, and they have been highly adapted to the muddy environment.
This also means that its mobility will be greatly reduced on land or in deep water.
Su Yi really can't think of any more room for it to play, so he has no idea of taming an adult mudfish dragon.
But Su Yi is a little curious about what abilities the mudfish dragon will have after becoming a Pokémon.
And this is just a cub, there is no burden to raise it for the time being, at most it can be handed over to ecological researchers for raising.
After the reinfection, although I didn’t feel as weak as the first time, my cough and runny nose were more severe than last time, and my voice became hoarse.
