Chapter 433 Mushroom Jungle
As if to confirm what the black glasses said, before his words fell completely, he saw the ground below churning, and prawn balls came out of it.

The reason why it was called Big Shrimp Balls was because the shrimp balls that appeared here were much bigger than the ones Chen Ziyan and the others saw last time, and none of them were less than ten meters long, and they were even sturdier.

However, it was also the appearance of these prawn balls that made Chen Ziyan and the others discover that the ground below was not ground at all, it just appeared more solid, and the bottom was actually a wet and muddy swamp.

Although the size of these shrimp balls was even more frightening, Chen Ziyan and the others didn't pay too much attention to them, because they knew the habits of this thing and knew that the other party would not actively attack them, and they were on the canopy of the emperor mushroom. Even if the ball wants to do something, it is powerless.

But everyone didn't relax their vigilance because everyone knew that although shrimp balls were also strange creatures, they were definitely not the kind that the black glasses said, and there were probably unknown dangers hidden here.

What's more, in the eyes of some predators, shrimp balls are a delicacy of movement, which undoubtedly adds a piece of evidence to their guesses.

Facts proved that Chen Ziyan and the others' guesses were not wrong. It didn't take long to see hundreds of little fox-like creatures appearing in the open space not far away. They were exactly the Guanyin that Chen Ziyan was looking forward to.

These ground Guanyin were not affected by the terrain at all, and quickly used their bodies to build a white wall, tightly enclosing a single prawn ball in the middle. The discipline they showed at this moment, It made Chen Ziyan more determined in his mind.

After the prawn balls were surrounded, a ground Guanyin with silver hair emerged from the team. It looked like the leader of the group of Earth Guanyin. The paw pushed the prawn balls that were already in a ball, and called softly to the rest of the earth Guanyin.

The other Earth Avalokitesvara seemed to have received an order, and they all rushed towards the prawn ball that was in a defensive state. Through the gaps in the Earth Avalokitesvara group, you can see that these little guys are lying on the prawn ball, one after another. Blow air into the cracks in the shrimp's carapace.

After a while, the prawn ball stretched out its tight carapace as if it couldn't stand the itch. The Guanyin and the Earth Guanyin didn't miss this opportunity, and immediately gathered their forces to overthrow the prawn ball that had lost the ability to resist. land.

After recovering, the upside-down prawn ball began to struggle, but it was too late. At this moment, it could only be slaughtered by the Guanyins.

The poor prawn balls are like the prawns on the dinner plate. The shell was peeled off in an instant, revealing the translucent meat inside. After the defense of the ball, it did not immediately swarm and start feasting.

Instead, cut the meat of the prawn balls into pieces, and then carried them away in groups of two or two.

Except for Chen Ziyan who had expected it, the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay when they saw this scene, not knowing what to say for a moment.

They may not care about the huge number of Guanyin, but such a humane behavior cannot be ignored. This kind of behavior is no longer abnormal!

After being silent for a while, Wang Kaixuan broke the silence. He looked at the busy Guanyin below, and joked: "This group of guys don't know that the price increase has been relatively high recently, so they want to stock up on some in-demand supplies in advance?"

Hu Bayi gave this guy a blank look: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say that these are a group of beasts. Even if they have become elites, they can't possibly understand what price increases are."

"In the materials that record ancient ceremonies, I have seen similar cases more than once. In ancient times, there were special methods to drive wild animals. I think the behavior of these Guanyin should be related to this." Shirley Yang said.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but glance at her.

He remembered very clearly that he had never mentioned the matter of Earth Avalokitesvara, and he did not expect Shirley Yang to recognize this thing.

But this is not a rare thing. Although the Earth Avalokitesvara is rare, it is not a rare thing to see. It is also possible that Shirley Yang has seen it in other places.

Weren't they surprised that they didn't see Hu Bayi? Obviously, even if they haven't seen it, they have heard about it.

"They should collect food to supply the upper-level organisms." At this moment, the blue-robed Tibetan said suddenly.

"Upper creatures? You mean... there are other creatures here?" Chen Ziyan turned to look at him and asked.

"Diguanyin is not a race that hoards food, and it doesn't look like there is a shortage of food here. I can't think of other possibilities." The blue-robed Tibetan said softly.

He also made this speculation based on the environment here.

Chen Ziyan nodded when he heard the words, he also felt that the words made sense.

I don’t know how many prawn balls here are, and fresh ones are always available, so there is no need to hoard them.

"I don't know what these little guys will supply food to, but it definitely won't be the lizard over there." Wang Kaixuan said leisurely suddenly.

The lizard over there?
Chen Ziyan immediately followed Wang Kaixuan's line of sight, and saw a group of red salamanders at the edge of the mushroom forest.

These creatures, which retain many ancient characteristics of the post-glacial period, are intercepting the Earth Guanyin on the way to evacuate at this moment, just like wolves entering a flock of sheep, suppressing Earth Guanyin, which is far more numerous than itself.

However, Chen Ziyan noticed that these salamanders did not deliberately kill Di Guanyin, their purpose was to snatch Di Guanyin's spoils, as long as Di Guanyin put down the shrimp meat that he was carrying, the salamanders would not bother with them anymore.

"Why are there such ruffians everywhere!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help complaining: "These lizards are bigger than those little things, if you want to eat them, go catch them yourself!"

"Although these salamanders are bigger, they may not be able to get shrimp balls anyway." Chen Ziyan was not surprised.

Earth Guanyin can easily subdue the shrimp balls, relying entirely on mastering the weaknesses of the shrimp balls, but this does not mean that these salamanders can do the same thing.

Although the shrimp balls don't have much fighting power, they can't stand up to their strong defenses. As long as they get together in time, these salamanders probably won't be able to break through the thick carapace at all.

You must know that just from the external image, the prawn ball below is the existence that can wrestle with the spotted dragon.

"Eh? These lizards didn't eat the meat either, so they seem to want to take the meat away?" Hu Bayi couldn't help being surprised when he noticed that the salamanders bit the snatched shrimp balls in their mouths, but didn't intend to chew them. Voice.

This situation was completely unexpected to him.

"It seems that there are upper-level creatures behind these salamanders." Chen Ziyan said.

He now agrees with the statement of the upper-level creatures, because only he knows that the real salamanders are not inferior to the striped dragons. Most of the ones that appear now are just larvae that have not grown up. They are at the bottom of the entire group and are responsible for feeding the group The strong provide food.

"So behind the Earth Guanyin and the Salamander, is there a more mysterious creature?" Shirley Yang looked at Chen Ziyan and asked.

From what happened just now, it can be seen that Salamander and Earth Guanyin are not in the same group, so according to him, there should be a mysterious creature behind them.

"Judging from the current clues, it should be like this." Chen Ziyan nodded.

He is also very curious now, what is the mysterious creature behind Earth Avalokitesvara.

"Master Chen, do you think we should go and have a look?" Hu Ba glanced at the salamander that was starting to evacuate under his eyes, and suggested.

Whether it is the Earth Guanyin or the Salamander, they all leave in one direction, which shows that there is definitely something worth exploring in this direction.

And he felt that the mysterious creatures behind the two were probably guarding something, most likely the altar they were looking for.

While this is just a guess, for them, it's totally worth a try!
"It's a good idea, but there is a problem that must be solved, and that is how do we walk under it?"

Chen Ziyan also felt that Hu Bayi's proposal was feasible, but the first thing to solve was how to walk on the marsh.

From what I have seen so far, it is obvious that the terrain below is similar to a swamp. They are not the creatures that live here, and they will be troublesome if they accidentally get stuck.

Others also understand that this problem needs to be solved urgently, otherwise, even if they don't follow up now, they will have to solve this problem after thinking about it.

"Shall we go from above?" the black glasses said suddenly after looking around.

While speaking, he pointed to the other emperor mushrooms beside him.

The height of this mushroom forest is uneven, but the range is very wide. If it can really move on the canopy of the emperor mushroom, it can also achieve the desired purpose.

After Chen Ziyan took a look, he found that the idea of ​​black glasses was indeed very feasible. The distance between these emperor mushrooms was not far, and most of them were from high to low, which reduced the difficulty even more.

"It's worth a try." After making a simple calculation in his heart, Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement.

Since there is a possibility of more than 50.00%, then this matter is worth trying.

The others also knew what to do, and immediately nodded in agreement.

After the consensus was reached, everyone put aside the matter of the Earth Guanyin and the Red Lizard for the time being, and began to plan the next course of action.

The first thing they need to ensure is that they can walk smoothly. They can't just find an emperor mushroom and jump over it. That's purely asking for trouble for themselves.

However, this matter was not difficult for them. After brainstorming, they quickly planned a safer route.

After re-calculating and confirming that there was no problem with the planned route, Chen Ziyan and the others began to act without stopping.

During the tracking process, Chen Ziyan found that not only prawn balls but also the hotbed of fluorescent giant mayflies in the swamp below. Along the way, many corpses of larvae that failed to moult can be seen, showing the survival of the fittest in nature. vividly.

With the expansion of their field of vision, they also had a clearer understanding of the specific landforms of this unknown area.

Next to the swamp where the mushroom forest is located, besides the underground river extending from the waterfall, there are several huge natural tunnels around. , formed an intricate underground water network.

At the end of the mushroom jungle, these underground rivers converged again, and the gathering point formed an underground lake.

At this moment, I couldn't see the figure of Guanyin, and I don't know where those guys have gone, but I can see that the salamanders have entered the underground lake and are swimming towards the center of the lake.

Standing on an emperor mushroom at the outermost edge of the mushroom forest and looking towards the center of the lake, you can vaguely see an island in the center of the lake. The shape of this small island in the center of the lake looks like a raised conical mountain .

After seeing this island in the middle of the lake that looks like a cone-shaped mountain, everyone felt a little joy in their hearts. Regardless of what is on the island in the middle of the lake, the island in the middle of the lake alone is worth their trip!
They are actually a little out of the way now, so what is most lacking is this kind of discovery.

However, Chen Ziyan and the others did not rush into the water, but first found a rock by the lake to settle down, planning to swim across the water after all the salamanders in the water had left.

After all, these salamanders don't look like irrational beasts, and it's always good to be careful in order to avoid alarming others.

After waiting for a while, they felt that the fire was almost ready, so Chen Ziyan and the others arranged their equipment and swam towards the small island in the middle of the lake.

The process of going to the island in the center of the lake went smoothly. Not only did I not encounter a salamander, but I never encountered any aquatic creatures.

After they set foot on this island in the middle of the lake, they found that the shape of this small island is very unique, there is no buffer at all up and down, it looks like the top of a mountain.

"This is an extinct underground volcano. Our location should be the crater, and the real main body is below the water surface."

After glancing at the rocks under her feet, Shirley Yang shared her findings.

She has been to similar places before, so she knows that such rock structures can only be formed after being washed by magma.

Shirley Yang told everyone that although the island in the middle of the lake may not look good, the density of the rocks is very high, making it a good place to build buildings.

That is to say, there is likely to be the altar they are looking for here.

Without staying on the edge for too long, several people began to climb towards the high place.

When passing through one of these clefts, they found some rotting hardwood, and this discovery made the crowd even more delighted!

Because this means that there have been signs of human activity here.

And in this case, even if there is no altar here, there may be other discoveries.

After all, according to Shirley Yang, this special high-density area can exist for a long time, and it is undoubtedly a good place to keep secrets.

Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt a burst of power from the bottom of their hearts, and couldn't help speeding up the climb, wanting to reach the crater as soon as possible to see what secrets are hidden here.

But what they didn't expect was that when they climbed to the top of the extinct volcano, what greeted them was the salamander who had been waiting for a long time!
