Chapter 1254 Mutant Earthworm?

After listening to Falcon's speculation.

Ye Yuan never thought of it anyway.

The mutant beast that caused so many casualties this time turned out to be a huge earthworm.

Seeing Ye Yuan's unbelievable expression, Falcon said:
"Don't you think it's weird?"

Ye Yuan nodded, and said very honestly:
"It's really incredible. I never imagined how a small earthworm could mutate so many times more than its own body."

Ye Yuan is not wrong, if it is said about the understanding of mutant beasts, he is really not a layman.

After all, so far, he has seen fewer mutant beasts than this so-called Falcon Squad.

But even so, he had never seen a mutant beast with such an exaggerated mutant body.

That's why they doubted the Falcon team's judgment.

After all, so far, they have only inferred the current results based on some clues in the mine.

As for seeing it with your own eyes?

Except for those who came to the mine to investigate the situation in the second batch before.

Among the living people, no one has actually seen the mutant beast.

The reason for this is also very simple.

That was the mine hole in the valley, which had already been dug full of holes by the mutant animal that was suspected to be an earthworm.

Even if the Falcon team sent down dozens of people.

It can be placed in an underground cave like a huge maze.

It's like a few drops of water entering the sea, without any waves at all.

"Have you misunderstood earthworms?
Earthworms are not small animals.

You should have heard of the giant Gippsland earthworm, right?

Do you still think earthworms are little guys? "

Falcon looked at Ye Yuan and reminded with a smile.

Regarding the giant Gippsland earthworm that Falcon mentioned, it aroused some memories deep in Ye Yuan's mind.

If not to hear the name again today.

He almost forgot the name of this earthworm.

No way, who made the Gippsland earthworm too far away from his life.

In addition, he is active in the sea all year round.

Some biological knowledge on land is only superficial.

The Gippsland giant earthworm is the largest earthworm ever found.

They are concentrated on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.

This giant Gippsland earthworm has a beautiful complexion, with the front 1/3 dark purple.

The back part is pink to gray.

The Gippsland giant earthworm is a unique native animal found only in kangaroo country and is an endangered species.

This species lives in deep underground burrows, so it is not usually seen.

Gippsland giant earthworms are relatively long-lived.

They breed and lay eggs during the warmer months.

Gippsland giant earthworms can only lay 1 egg at a time.

Eggs are about 4 cm to 7 cm long.

These eggs take about 12 months to hatch.

Gippsland giant earthworms are about 20 cm when they are born.

It takes about 5 years to reach maturity.

According to statistics, this earthworm can live up to 20 years.

Back in the back of my mind, information about these giant Gippsland earthworms.

Ye Yuan looked at Falcon with some puzzlement and asked:
"Do you suspect that the mutant beast below is mutated from a giant Gippsland earthworm?"

Falcon shook his head:

"In ancient China, earthworms were also called earth dragons, and in some ancient books, the existence of giant earth dragons was mentioned.

So we have reason to believe that these giant earth dragons still exist.

It's just that they hide in places that are hard for people to find.

And the one discovered this time is very likely to be a mutant of these earth dragons.

This also explains why there are such big earthworm mutants. "

What Falcon said was serious, but in Ye Yuan's ears, why did it feel so inconsistent.

Those ancient earth dragons with the ability to evacuate the earth.

Shouldn't they all appear in Xianxia novels?

Ye Yuan really wondered if this Falcon was a fan of Xian Xia.

Otherwise, how could there be such a set of theories?

"Then what do you want me to do for you?"

Ye Yuan no longer entangled with these.

For him, no matter what kind of creature that mutant beast was mutated into, the relationship is not that important to him.

"I heard from Xu Hang that you are very good at finding items in the sea.

I wonder if you can still have this ability underground? "

Falcon spoke very directly, and he explained his purpose when he came up.

Ye Yuan pondered, he was still a little uncomfortable with Falcon's direct communication.

After thinking for a few minutes, Ye Yuan finally said:
"In the sea, I rely on my super diving ability.

But underground, this ability is obviously useless.

But my sixth sense is still very strong, if you don't mind, I am willing to go down and try my luck.

See if I can help you find that mutant beast. "

Xu Hang and Falcon glanced at each other.

Both of them saw disappointment in each other's eyes.

In the end, it was Xu Hang who spoke:
"The manpower is limited now, if you are not fully sure, don't go down.

After all, the situation below is too complicated, and this is also for your safety. "

In the end, Xu Hang still considered Ye Yuan's personal safety and didn't want to take the risk.

He knew that since Ye Yuan said that, it meant that he was really not sure.

Originally, he just planned to let Ye Yuan have a try.

After hearing Ye Yuan's answer now, he doesn't intend to let Ye Yuan take risks.

"You don't have to worry about my personal safety.

You can give me a weapon if you're worried, and I can handle the rest myself. "

The reason why Ye Yuan is so stubborn to go down is not entirely because of curiosity.

Mainly because of the discovery of mutant beasts in this mine.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Zhang Wuxian's family.

As Zhang Wuxing's good brother, Ye Yuan certainly didn't want his family's mine to be put on hold indefinitely.

If he could help, he certainly wouldn't mind helping.

This is why Ye Yuan is so active towards mutant beasts this time.

You know, Zhang Wuxian and Zhao Chuan helped him a lot when he was in school.

Now I have the ability to repay them, and of course I will not be stingy.

"Since you have a decision, of course we welcome it.

After all, we are really short of manpower now, and one more person means more strength.You are welcome to join us! "

Falcon nodded decisively.

For their team, it is really at the end of the rope.

A month passed, and there was not even a shadow of the mutant beast.

If this word gets out, won't those colleagues abroad laugh their ass off?

But the reality is here, and it is impossible for them to send a large number of people in.

There is no way that the terrain below is too complicated.

If a person without the ability to protect himself goes down, if he really encounters a mutant beast, it will be no different from sending him to death.

So in order to avoid more people being hurt.

They could only grit their teeth and use a small number of people to screen the huge underground labyrinth.
