Hunter starting from Hunter World

Chapter 118: It's Alive...

"Is this regurgitating the indigestible things from the stomach and intestines? In other words, those big bugs probably don't have special excretion ports..."

Allen whispered to himself while putting on the gas mask and gloves that he had prepared, and carefully took some with tweezers and placed it in the test tube to seal it.

As a person with biological knowledge, he knows that these feces-like excrements are likely to preserve the unique bacterial colonies in the giant worms, and these bacterial colonies will help researchers to understand this organism in depth. It even infers the original environment of the creature.

If it is really a species from the Dark Continent, then you can also take this opportunity to learn about the ecological conditions of the Dark Continent, especially in terms of microorganisms.

However, just when the sampling was just completed, Allen suddenly felt the ground under his feet vibrate, followed by a giant red worm slowly coming in from the tunnel next to him, opening a big circular mouth full of fangs, and constantly hitting the ground. Spit a mixture of coffee-colored viscous liquid and skeletal hairs of various sizes.

Due to the close distance, he can clearly see that this worm has no eyes at all, and it relies entirely on the dense hairs on the surface of the red skin to perceive the surrounding vibrations, even if the flashlight is irradiated by the light source, it will not produce any response.

social?

Such a year suddenly appeared in Allen's mind.

There is no doubt that this is not the one I met on the beach before, because it is not connected to the line of thought.

In order to clarify the situation, he and Rubes quickly entered a state of extreme, carefully bypassing the behemoth, and slowly exploring along the tunnel behind.

After a while, I found an extremely shocking scene in another cave.

It was a large concave pit, densely packed with millions of red worm larvae, each with the thickness of a finger.

Unlike the adult giant worms, they are so fragile that they can be crushed with a gentle force.

What's even more frightening is that the place where these larvae are located is not a simple dirt pit, but an organ like the intestine of some kind of giant beast, and some other adult worms are vomiting into the intestine after primary digestion of food.

After getting food, the red intestinal walls began to squirm vigorously, making a gurgling sound, and secreting some white mucus.

After the larva touched the white mucus, it immediately rushed up frantically and snatched the mucus frantically. Among them, the few guys who had eaten a lot of them expanded rapidly like a balloon, and grew to a size in just a few seconds. About meters.

Seeing this scene, Alan's face finally became serious.

He finally realized that the giant worms that ruled the island were actually just parasites in a larger creature, and this creature was the island under his feet!

That's right!

This island is alive!

At least judging from the digestive organs that look like intestines, it is still alive.

As to whether he fell into a deep sleep, or was seriously injured in his cultivation, it is unknown.

Without any hesitation!

Allen took out the camera directly to take this scene, followed the release of "Knowledge of Beasts" to check the details of these insects, and finally caught a few larvae with the ability of thinking, sealed them in the jar, and quickly followed the original path. return.

When he returned to the ground, Baudrillard was the first to come over and ask: "How is it, what did you find?"

"Believe me, you will have nightmares at night after you watch it. We must now return to the Hunters Association immediately and report the situation here." Allen responded with a serious tone.

Now he finally understood the meaning of Kim Flix's phrase "It is just a coincidence that mankind has not perished until now."

Compared with the horror of the Dark Continent, the human environment is like a petri dish specially placed in a relatively safe place. Once it is invaded by species on the other side of Lake Mobius, there is immediate danger of extinction. .

Moreover, the existence of the "gatekeeper" actually serves not to prevent humans from exploring the dark continent, but to protect the human world from extinction.

The so-called proven "five disasters" are just the tip of the iceberg of dangerous creatures in the Dark Continent.

In this way, everyone rushed back day and night with the collected information and evidence.

Finally at the beginning of November, I came to the Hunter Association again.

When Allen turned in all the photos, specimens, and records, it instantly caused a sensation like a magnitude 12 earthquake, and even V5 immediately dispatched commissioners to intervene in the investigation.

In particular, the live larvae brought back from the center of the island were directly sent to the fully enclosed laboratory for cultivation, observation and dissection.

About half a month later, an old man in his sixties approached Alan and said in a very serious tone: "Young man, thank you for finding a potential huge threat for us. After research, We agreed that the threat level of the living island should be raised to A and closely monitored. In return, in addition to the normal rewards, you can also make an additional request."

"Is that living island a species from the dark continent?" Allen tentatively asked with interest.

"It's not certain for the time being! But according to the judgment of biologists, the possibility is very high. Because in those worms and their frontal excrement, there have been at least dozens of bacteria and viruses that have never been found in the human world. There is no shortage of dangerous and lethal species."

The old man didn't conceal anything, and said openly the conclusion he had reached so far.

Because he knew who the boy was, and he knew the result of the duel not long ago.

Not surprisingly, it is very possible to replace Nitro in the near future and become the new president of the Hunter Association.

As a representative of V5, he believes that a good relationship should be maintained with it, especially in protecting the world from the threats of species from the dark continent, otherwise God knows when the human world will suddenly be destroyed overnight.

"If you don't mind, can you give me a copy of the report on those bacteria and viruses? I have a hunch that it may not be long before they will come in handy."

After learning that unique bacteria and viruses had been found in the worm, Allen immediately chose to ask for it.

This is really important for exploring the dark continent in the future!

Compared with unknown weapons-gold and silver ingots, gas life forms-angstroms, two-tailed snakes-hell bells, cultivating beasts-Papu, these threats that the naked eye can see, he feels that microbes that the naked eye cannot distinguish are the most Something dangerous.

The old man nodded without thinking: "No problem! We share these information with the Hunter Association. You can go directly to Qi Duoyao among the twelve branches, and she has a backup. Now, you can say I have made my wish, as long as it is not too much, I can immediately give a promise on behalf of V5."

"So... can I directly set my personal information to permanent confidentiality?"

Allen hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a request that he thought was very reasonable.

This is the inspiration obtained from the practice of Jin Fu Lishi.

Because of this method of cutting off the source of intelligence, anyone with a little bit of brain will understand how huge energy is hidden behind it, and it can effectively scare away those who want to make small actions with bad intentions.

"Hehe, of course. In addition, we look forward to your active performance in the future. Goodbye, young man."

Having said that, the old man waved his hand, and boarded the airship with a few bodyguards and assistants, and disappeared to the end of the sky after a while.
