Chronicles of Primordial Wars

There is only Shao Xuan left on a vast ice field.

Very quiet around.

Usually there's fog all around and it's hard to see, but from time to time you can hear hawks of all sizes, or those giant beasts walking back and forth, or they're eating ice columns.

But now, the voices that we've heard every day in the past have all disappeared.

Shao Xuan has a feeling of isolation.

Without those giant eagles, however, he also intends to take a good look at the ice field and come up there, because there are giant eagles all around him, and he doesn't dare to go anywhere. Now that the eagles have left, don't worry.

Even if his vision was limited, he had recorded the rough terrain within sight of his vision in his mind during the time that the fog had dissipated.

Just be careful, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Shao Xuan walked on this ice field at the top of the mountain, because of the habit of walking on weekdays, the movement of walking is very small, and now the surrounding area is very quiet, in the subconscious, Shao Xuan also lightened the movement.

Though cautious, the pace is not slow.

In front is the cliff abyss below the eagle herd. Shao Xuan naturally does not go forward, but walks sideways along the ice field.

To prevent an inadvertent fall into the abyss, Shao Xuan moved a little further away from the border.

The longitudinal length of the mind is already numbered, but the horizontal distance is not known. Even when the fog dissipates, Shao Xuan fails to see the boundary.

There are also some big footprints on the ice field, with bite marks on the ice columns, some large and some small.

Shao Xuan has also seen several very large ice columns along the way. Such huge ice columns will naturally be loved by the larger hawks. If you look at the marks on them, you can see that the pecking marks are mostly above them, and they can't be seen clearly up there. Near the ground, there are only a few small pecking marks or no pecking marks, and the hawks won't always bite down.

Shao Xuan was walking and suddenly heard a loud noise, but because the surrounding area was too quiet, the sound was more obvious.

This is not the sound of giant eagles walking, and most of them walk here with a sense of heaviness, generosity, and nothing to hide. But this voice at this moment always makes Shao Xuan feel cautious.

The sound was getting closer and closer, Shao Xuan hid behind a huge ice column and watched out for creatures that were getting closer and closer to the fog.

Gradually, Shao Xuan saw a long figure in the fog.

Snake?

No, not snakes.

It's not as long as a snake, and it moves in a different way than a snake, and it looks more like a bug.

Stoneworm?

Stoneworms are more common in mountainous rocky areas.

But soon, Shao Xuan knew he was wrong.

This is not a stone worm, but a fleshworm that resembles a butterfly larvae.

This worm is thicker than Shaw Xuan's thighs, nearly four meters long, snowy and white, has a rounded, slippery head, and a tight "neck” between his head and body.

It seems to be no different from other butterfly larvae except for the larger ones, but if you look closely you can see many differences.

Many of the butterfly larvae that Shao Xuan saw at the hunting grounds were three pairs of chest feet, four pairs of belly feet, and one pair of tail feet, while the one in front of them was three pairs of chest feet, three pairs of belly feet, and three pairs of tail feet, which were very similar to the chest foot and tail foot, and not the belly foot.

The anterior ends of the thoracic and tail feet are hooked, while the abdominal feet carry suction cups. What Shao Xuan just heard was the sound of it crawling on the ice field.

Strange bug.

Shao Xuan did not expect to see such a creature in such a cold place. Generally speaking, they should live in warmer areas.

Shao Xuan did not move, but stood quietly behind the ice column and watched the white meat bug climb closer and closer.

It climbs for a moment, stops, then supports it with its belly and tail feet, stands up at the front end, seemingly recognizing what it is, then determines a direction, and continues to climb.

At this time, he is heading towards Shao Xuan's side.

Found out?

Shao Xuan was vigilant and put his hands on the knife handle silently.

But the bug stopped in front of the ice column, and Shao Xuan heard the sound of a fine crackle.

Feeling the vibration coming from the ice column, Shao Xuan knew that the insect was eating the ice column.

Its goal was only the ice column, and Shao Xuan was not found.

Shao Xuan and the bug, one on this side of the ice column, one on the other side. Shao Xuan did not have a probe to observe, but judged the general behavior of the insect based on hearing and the sense of vibration coming from the ice pole on his back.

The beep sounded for about two hours, and the bug changed places to find other ice columns, and Shao Xuan followed. Sometimes there are no ice columns, so long as Shao Xuan is careful, the bug will not notice Shao Xuan. In its eyes, it seemed to care less about everything else, looking for food.

Shao Xuan found that the columns chosen by the insect were coarse, because the coarse columns, mostly long, were eaten by giant eagles of larger size, and were often eaten above the columns, rarely near the ground. And the bug, the target, is where the coarse ice columns are near the ground and not eaten by giant eagles.

Is it cleanliness or fear of the smell left by the giant eagles?

Shao Xuan doesn't know.

However, after figuring out its preferences, Shao Xuan became more skilled as he followed.

Look at the traces of the white insect eating up on the ice column. Shao Xuan found that the insect eats much faster than he did. The bite power is not lost to the giant eagles. It's just that each bite is small and eats quickly, so the sound of the whispering sounds is very dense.

As the surrounding light grew darker and closer to dusk, the bug stopped looking for food and went back where it climbed.

Shao Xuan still follows it.

The further out you go, the thinner the fog, and the more you climb up to the ice field, the less fog you basically have.

At this time, Shao Xuan could see more clearly the appearance of the white worm.

Where does it come from? Where are we going now?

When the white worm reaches the edge, it arches its elongated body, then along the steep slope, extends down the front of the body, and then moves the back of the body, touching each other at both ends, flexing, looking like an arch bridge.

It carries the chest and tail feet of the hook, tightly gripping the ice and rock so that the body does not slide off the steep slope. Shao Xuan looked down, and the white worm moved quickly and steadily. Such a steep slope was like flat ground for him.

Looking at the sky, Shao Xuan did not follow, but turned back and leaned next to an ice column. After eating some ice, he fell asleep.

The next day.

Shao Xuan saw the white bug again, and he climbed back to the ice fields along the route of yesterday's return and began the same journey of food hunting as yesterday.

Shao Xuan continues to follow. Shao Xuan has not seen any other creatures on the ice field. It is rare to encounter such a peculiar species. Shao Xuan intends to observe more.

Every day, shortly after the rising of the sun, the white worm climbs onto this ice field, searches for and eats the thick, unpecked columns of the giant eagle, and eats only a third of the cross section of each columns, not the columns.

After observing the white worm for five days, Shao Xuan intends to take a look at it as it goes down the mountain.

Shao Xuan can handle such steep slopes.

The situation on the steep slope is much better than on the ice sheet at the top of the mountain, with less fog and very thin, if foggy, places close to the mountain walls, often with direct exposure to the sun.

For the sake of safety, Shao Xuan stayed away from the white bug and followed closely behind. But soon, Shao Xuan discovered that the white worm was much faster than him, much faster than when he was on the ice field. Shortly after, Shao Xuan was dumped away.

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan returned to the ice fields again.

He changed his strategy. When the white worm climbed the ice field again the next day, Shao Xuan did not follow it, but followed the steep slope down the hill.

White worms leave traces of walking on rocks and thick ice and snow, and Shao Xuan can follow these traces to find out exactly where it went down the mountain.

On the steep slope, where the white worm passes, there will be deep pits, underneath which there will be traces of hooks and hooks.

Take a look at the length of the white worm, and according to the way it walks, you'll find it quickly. Plus, Shao Xuan goes down the mountain during the day, such a pit is not difficult to find.

Shao Xuan kept going down, from the top of the mountain, from time to time a fierce wind would blow, and with many tiny ice grains, he hit Shao Xuan directly. Shao Xuan can only hold onto the rock and grip it tightly or cover the hard ice layer on the rock. If it is negligent, it will fall directly, falling from here will definitely die.

When he flew up the mountain, he chirped and the eagle took almost half a day, but Shao Xuan has now spent half a day, but not even a third has arrived.

But right here, that white bug stopped falling, and went along the horizon to go elsewhere.

Shao Xuan followed the traces and continued his search. Finally, beside a protruding rock, he saw a nest built by silk wire.

Shao Xuan knew that there were some fleshworms that would suture the sides of the leaves together with spit silk to form a "leaf nest”, or in a depressed place, pull up a layer of silk thread and build a simple nest. When they rest, they hide in a nest like this, and when it's time for activity, they come out of it and look for food.

In the hills surrounding the tribe, this is often seen, sometimes stripping a rolled leaf, or a folded leaf, and a bug is found hiding in it.

Now, what Shao Xuan saw was the white worm, the nest built here.

The silk is very clear, and strangely enough, these silks don't reflect, and if Shao Xuan hadn't followed the trail and been blocked by this layer of silk thread, he wouldn't have found them.

Touched it, pulled it to see how it feels. It's not bad. Shao Xuan's first reaction was that this line was perfect for making a trap. I just don't know how long these filaments will last.

However, Shao Xuan will not move these threads for the time being. Watch the white worm first, otherwise it would be bad to shock it.
