Chapter 336 Predation
Chen Ziyang, who was still wondering about the connection between the belt buckle of the old king of the ancient kingdom of Mimi and the seal spider in front of him, suddenly saw a black shadow moving towards the seal spider near the seal spider. one time.

This discovery stunned Chen Ziyang. He felt very strange. Although the flashlight beam in his hand was very bright, he still couldn't clearly see every corner of these coiled roots.

On the side wall of the tree hole made of tree roots, there are still many black shadows left under the illumination of the flashlight beam.What surprised Chen Ziyang the most was that out of the corner of his eye just now, he saw a black shadow moving among the shadows among the tree roots.

He thought it was his own illusion, how could there be a black shadow among the black shadows?The black shadow is originally formed because there are objects blocking the light. The place where the shadow appears is already very dark. How can there be a black shadow moving in such a place? It must be because the movement of the flashlight in my hand just now caused my There was an optical illusion, Chen Ziyang thought.

But before he could take the next step, Chen Ziyang saw a black shadow moving towards the seal spider.

This shadow is not too big, but the speed of advancement is very fast, but the distance traveled by the shadow is relatively short.The shadow "whoosh" jumped forward a distance of tens of centimeters, getting closer to the position of the seal spider.

This time Chen Ziyang could see clearly, there was indeed a black object moving in the direction of the seal spider.This sudden discovery dispelled his idea of ​​approaching the seal spider.

After gesturing to Yang Lei behind him, Chen Ziyang whispered a few words about the black shadow in Yang Lei's ear, and then stood still.

He tried his best to keep his body still. First, he was afraid that his movements would scare the black shadow. Second, he was afraid that his movement would cause the beam of the flashlight in his hand to move, thus losing the shadow target.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't catch the black shadow's trajectory in time when the shadow came out just now, but when the black shadow stopped, he could see it clearly.Now Chen Ziyang stared intently at the place where the shadow was hidden.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but every time this black figure stopped, it hid in the shadows between the roots of the trees that the flashlight beam couldn't reach.It was also for this reason that Chen Ziyang did not dare to act rashly, for he was afraid that this shadow would be affected by the beam of the flashlight in his hand.

Before everyone came here, it can be said that this tree hole has been closed for 2000 years.The appearance of this seal spider has greatly exceeded Chen Ziyang's expectations. He did not expect that there would be creatures appearing in this strange underground world made of tree roots.

A seal spider is fine, but now there is another black shadow that doesn't know what it is. What is this black shadow?Is it a creature or an evil thing?
After quietly pouring mana into his eyes, Chen Ziyang didn't see any qi in the place where the black shadow stayed, so that means, this black shadow is not an evil thing.

If this shadow is not evil, then it should be a creature.Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang felt relieved. Although he was anxious to chase Instructor Liu and the Dryad, what he saw in front of him made him even more curious.

Under the body of the dryad that had been burned for 2000 years, a strange seal spider appeared, and the pattern on the buttocks of this seal spider was exactly the same as the pattern on the belt buckle of the ancient king of Yumi.This alone is enough for Chen Ziyang to take the time to understand the details.

Now a black shadow appeared out of thin air. Judging from the movement trajectory of this black shadow, it was obvious that this black shadow was running towards the seal spider.Every time the black shadow moved very quickly, at the same time, the black shadow came out of one shadow and entered another shadow, obviously not wanting to attract the attention of the seal spider.

After watching for a while, Chen Ziyang understood.The black lizard shadow should be a predator, and the seal spider should be its prey.He just stood there quietly, staring closely at the shadow where the shadow was hidden, waiting for the next move of the shadow.

Yang Lei didn't have Chen Ziyang's focused attention and extraordinary perseverance. After standing behind Chen Ziyang for a while, Yang Lei felt that his two legs could not stand up. trembling.

But in order not to disturb Chen Ziyang, in order not to startle the black shadow, Yang Lei had no choice but to hold back, still standing there motionless, trying his best to control his trembling legs.

Maybe it was after confirming that the surrounding environment was relatively safe, and knowing that he did not scare the seal spider, the black shadow moved again, but this time, the black shadow moved very slowly.

Probably because it was relatively close to the seal spider, this time the black shadow no longer rushed forward quickly, but slowly crawled in the direction of the seal spider.

The black shadow crawled very slowly and carefully, approaching the seal spider from the direction behind the seal spider without making a sound, and slowly crawled out from the shadow.

When the black shadow slowly crawled out from the shadow of the tree roots, Chen Ziyang, who saw the whole picture of the black shadow, opened his mouth wide in surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw.

After Yang Lei, who was standing behind Chen Ziyang, saw the black shadow, the expression on his face was even more exaggerated than Chen Ziyang's.Yang Lei's eyes widened in disbelief. If it wasn't for the obstruction of his eye sockets, both of his eyeballs would have been stared out.

At this time, a black shadow was crawling on the side wall of the tree hole in front of Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei, and the shape of this shadow was seen by both of them before, it was a black shadow similar to the shape of a lizard.

The black shadow is exactly the same as the lizard tattoo pattern on Instructor Liu's arm before, except that the area of ​​the black shadow is slightly smaller now, and this black lizard shadow does not have the strange red color like the lizard tattoo pattern on the back of Instructor Liu's hand Eye.

Chen Ziyang looked over carefully, this black shadow gave people a very strange feeling, the creature didn't look like a creature, and the shadow didn't look like a shadow.

This lizard black shadow has no thickness at all, just like a paper-cut made of a thin black sheet of paper, but this paper-cut has its own consciousness and can move freely.

Chen Ziyang searched his head all over, but he didn't think of any creature similar to the lizard shadow in front of him.How can there be creatures that look so strange?It's like a piece of paper!Doesn't this creature have internal organs, just a piece of skin?Chen Ziyang thought strangely.

"Er Yang, isn't that..."

"Shh..."

Surprised Yang Lei just wanted to open his mouth to ask Chen Ziyang, but his words were suddenly interrupted by Chen Ziyang.Although Yang Lei's voice was not loud, and Chen Ziyang was also very quietly stopping him, but the sound of the two people still frightened the lizard-shaped black shadow.

The black lizard shadow stopped quickly after being frightened by the two people, and quickly crawled backwards for a distance.

But this black lizard shadow seemed to be a seal spider that was reluctant to get close at hand. After retreating a certain distance, the black lizard shadow stopped there, shaking its thin head.

Seeing that the black lizard shadow was not scared away, Chen Ziyang exhaled slowly, and at the same time rolled his eyes at Yang Lei who was beside him.Yang Lei, who knew he was wrong, also lowered his head in embarrassment, and tried not to make any noise.

Although the black lizard shadow does not have red eyes, through the movement of the shadow, Chen Ziyang can tell that the black lizard shadow is watching its surroundings vigilantly. Unique perception method to judge whether there is danger around.

After waiting for a while, the black lizard shadow let go of his vigilance, and then slowly crawled towards the seal spider.At this time, the seal spider still stopped in place stupidly, not even noticing that a group of black shadows was slowly approaching behind him.

The black lizard shadow slowly approached the seal spider, one meter, half a meter, thirty centimeters, ten centimeters... As the black lizard shadow got closer and closer to the seal spider, the movement of the lizard shadow became slower and slower, and at the same time Also more and more careful.

When the black lizard shadow was only ten centimeters away from the seal spider, the lizard shadow stopped.Chen Ziyang saw a red eye slowly opened on the side of the black lizard's shadow.

This eye has no eyeball, no eye socket, just like a completely red spot, appearing out of thin air on the side of the black lizard.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang's heart became excited.He can now be [-]% sure that this black lizard-like thing is the tattoo that appeared on Instructor Liu's arm before.

"No wonder!" Chen Ziyang thought.No wonder that when Instructor Liu pinned his eyes and struggled desperately, that weird tattoo pattern left small wounds on Instructor Liu’s arm. It turned out that it was not a tattoo pattern, but a real one. living beings.

Chen Ziyang now understood that the one on Instructor Liu's arm was not a tattoo pattern, but a creature that was exactly the same as the black lizard shadow in front of him, but because the body of this creature was too thin, so I mistaken it for a tattoo.

What is the use of this creature?Where is it so powerful?Why did this creature merge into Instructor Liu's body?Why did the creature heal instructor Liu's near-death wound?And what's with the strange creature's red eyes?Why didn't they merge into Instructor Liu's body together?
Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking about this series of questions, the black lizard shadow resumed its previous rapid movement, swished forward, and directly pounced on the seal spider.

At this time, the hidden seal spider who has been careless has paid the price. After being pounced on by the black lizard shadow, the seal spider struggled desperately, but could not get rid of the entanglement of the lizard shadow. The lizard shadow and the seal spider were entangled together .

The black lizard shadow is like a thin layer of plaster, tightly attached to the surface of the seal spider.The seal spider tried its best to get the black lizard shadow off its body, but it couldn't be done.

Seeing two groups of black things wrestling together, Chen Ziyang took half a step forward slowly, then he thought for a while, and then withdrew his legs.

Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to rush forward when the two creatures were wrestling together, and grab them all at once, so that he could study these two things carefully.But the cautious Chen Ziyang immediately thought that it was not appropriate for him to do so.

I don't know if this seal spider is poisonous, and I have never heard of that black lizard-like creature. If I rush forward rashly like this, I will probably be injured by the two creatures entangled.

Even if the two creatures didn't hurt themselves, if two creatures fighting in a life-and-death fight are attacked by themselves, it is likely that the two creatures will separate from each other and run away because they are frightened.If that's the case, I probably won't be able to catch any of them.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang made the most appropriate capture plan for himself, that is to wait quietly, waiting for the moment when the black lizard shadow wins.

Judging from the current fighting situation between the two creatures, Chen Ziyang judged that there was an eighty to ninety percent possibility that the black lizard shadow would kill the seal spider.

If you wait until that time, whether it is the black lizard shadow eating the seal spider, or taking its prey to the lair, this is the time when the black lizard shadow is least vigilant and it is in his best interest. arrest.

Instead of rushing up at the risk of not being able to catch any creatures, it is better to wait quietly for a while, at least there is a great possibility that you will catch one.

Although Chen Ziyang was very reluctant to let the seal spider die, considering the current situation, he felt that this was his best choice.

The battle ended quickly. After a while, the seal spider slowly stopped its movements under the shadow of the black lizard. The eight legs of the seal spider stopped powerlessly. Chen Ziyang knew that the seal spider It should be dead.

But the black lizard shadow did not just let go of the body of the seal spider, but was still tightly wrapped around the surface of the seal spider. At this time, Chen Ziyang saw that the red eye of the black lizard shadow seemed even redder. up.

Knowing that the time he was waiting for had arrived, Chen Ziyang rushed forward quickly.After two steps to the front, he quickly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the black lizard shadow.
