Chapter 639: One elephant brings down thousands of scorpions
As for how numerous these sand scorpions are!Anyway, don’t even think about counting them clearly.

The body of this demon species, Celestial Elephant, which is more than 300 meters tall and weighs more than [-] tons, was destroyed by the hard work of the group of sand scorpions in the middle of the night. Tons of corpses turned into white bones.

And the corpse of this over [-]-ton demon species, Celestial Elephant, also made an outstanding contribution to this demonized sand scorpion group. Not only did this half-day effort make a great contribution to the reproduction of this sand scorpion group. contribution.

Because at this time, many female sand scorpions in the demonized sand scorpion group have begun to reproduce. If Bailixiu saw this scene, he would definitely be amazed. A whale falls and everything comes alive. This is what Bailixiu said in the world before he traveled. .

The whale fall in the world refers to the process of a whale falling to the bottom of the sea after death.

When it comes to whales falling, the first thing most people think of is "when a whale falls, everything lives". This is because after a whale dies, it slowly sinks from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea, which can nourish many organisms, especially marine benthic organisms. .

The ocean is divided into shallow sea and deep sea. The ocean with a depth of more than 200 meters is called the deep sea. Since the sun's rays cannot penetrate the water depth of 200 meters, it is dark all year round, the water temperature is low, and the water pressure is also very low.

On the blue star of the world before Baili Xiu traveled through, most of the energy came from sunlight. Plants converted solar energy into starch, sugar, etc. through photosynthesis and stored it in their bodies, while animals either directly or indirectly Eating plants for energy.The same is true in marine life. Marine phytoplankton can produce energy through photosynthesis for marine animals to survive.

However, in the deep sea below 200 meters, because there is no sunlight all year round, it can only rely on the sedimentation of organic matter above the ocean. Therefore, there is less organic matter here than in the shallow sea, so the number of organisms that can be supported is also limited.The death of whales can provide a lot of energy to deep-sea creatures.

After a whale dies, the putrid smell will attract scavenging sharks or other large fish. Whales have very thick skin and must have sharp enough teeth to tear open their skin.

If a dead whale has not been bitten by other creatures for a long time, the microorganisms in the whale's intestines will decompose the whale from the inside out. During the decomposition process, a large amount of gas will be formed, and the gas will burst the whale's skin. If the internal pressure If it is too large, the whale's carcass will self-explode, and this phenomenon is called "whale explosion".

Generally, stranded and dead sharks are often prone to whale explosions, and whale explosions can cause the whale's internal organs mixed with a large number of microorganisms to be sprayed to distant places. Therefore, whale explosions are also called "nature's largest biochemical weapon."

After continuous feeding by scavengers, the whale's oil and muscles will decrease, which in turn will increase the whale's density and slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

After sinking to the bottom of the sea, seafloor creatures can feed on the whale's remains.A 2000-ton whale sinking into the deep sea is equivalent to the natural sedimentation of organic matter in the same area for at least [-] years.

In the deep sea, not only the meat of whales can be used as food, but even the bones can be eaten by polychaetes and crustaceans; and they can also use whale falls as a cover to avoid natural enemies; anaerobic bacteria can inhabit whale remains. It slowly decomposes and releases sulfides; some bacteria can convert these sulfides into organic matter to support the local ecological community.

The desert in the clouds in this different world of the King is actually similar to the ocean. Due to the scarcity of plants, it is also very difficult for the animals to obtain food.

For example, this is the case with the sand scorpions that are unique to the Yunzhong Desert. The acquisition of food greatly limits the development of their population. Therefore, once there is sufficient food, the female sand scorpions will reproduce without hesitation. Ethnic work.

For example, the corpse of this demon species, Celestial Elephant, at least increased the number of sand scorpions by more than four times. Of course, it is inappropriate to use one whale to kill all the creatures here. It should be more appropriate to use one elephant to kill ten thousand scorpions.

However, what this multiplication brings is an even greater shortage of food. You must know that although the food supply brought by the corpse of the demon species Celestial Elephant now allows the demonized sand scorpion group to have the energy needed to reproduce.But don't forget, these little sand scorpions also need food after they make noise, and as they grow larger, they naturally need more and more food.

If there is no food supply, then the only way out for these newly born demonized sand scorpions is to eat each other to ensure that not all the sand scorpions will starve to death.

However, the leader of this group of sand crabs obviously did not want to be like this, so the leader of the sand scorpion, which was more than ten meters long and had evolved into a demon species, immediately sniffed the air and immediately issued an order to move forward.

So a large group of demonized sand scorpions in Wuyang Wuyang, led by the leader of this sand scorpion, followed the smell and rushed towards the joint caravan where Bailixiu and the others were.

Although many female sand scorpions in this group of desert sand scorpions have just given birth, these female sand scorpions are different from female humans. They are not in confinement or weak after childbirth.

And they also know that this is their leader who is taking them to find food, and if they don't keep up, they will definitely not be able to feed these newly born little sand scorpions on their own.

So immediately under the bright white moonlight, a scorpion more than ten meters long rushed towards Bailixiu with a large scorpion that could not be counted.

And its speed was not slow either. Perhaps it was because they were full. This group of sand scorpions moved very quickly. In just two hours, they had already appeared within the range of Bailixiu's domineering perception.

Bailixiu sensed it twice and confirmed that the group of sand scorpions were rushing in the direction of the joint caravan. Immediately, a thunderous sound woke up the sleeping people.

The first one to come over was naturally Ah Ke. After all, after eating the Shining Fruit, Ah Ke became very fast.

When Bailixiu saw Ah Ke coming over, she said to Ah Ke rudely:

"Hurry up and notify the person in charge of the joint caravan and tell them to leave quickly. A large group of demonized scorpions are coming fifty kilometers behind us. Tell them to retreat and move quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are surrounded. Big!”

Ah Ke also nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, I'm going to notify them now!"

After saying that, Ah Ke's figure disappeared in a flash. After a while, the entire convoy began to move. The engines of all the crawler transport vehicles were ignited and moved in the predetermined direction, and the speed was also at Gradually improve.

However, Baili Xiu sensed the domineering power again, but could only shake his head and sigh. It seemed that a battle was still unavoidable. In just twenty minutes, the group of sand scorpions were less than ten kilometers away from the joint convoy.
