Chương 247: Chapter 246 Lava spider
It was another night shrouded in darkness. The small creatures struggling to survive in the canyon began to move quietly again.
It was called 'Ika', the leader of the community. It had wisdom, it had power, and it was the symbol of the future!
That was what the headworm said. In fact, the name 'Ika' was also given by the headworm.
Ika led the community to get a lot of shark meat by the waterhole and solved the food problem. However, the water in the waterhole was getting less and less. The space that was originally one meter deep and three meters wide had shrunk by more than half after they ate most of the sharks.
Although the ancient squids hunted in groups, they usually did not like to squeeze together. Facing the shrinking space, although the ancient squids were only ten centimeters long, they began to be restless because of the crowded space.
They all felt that death was approaching. In the face of this situation, Ika had to think of a new way – to get out of here.
Leaving the waterhole needed water to ensure that it would not dry up. Thinking of this, Ika took a sharp stone and approached the shark's body on the shore again, and used the stone to cut off the shark's skin.
Ika wrapped the cut shark's skin around its body and gills. It found that this could effectively prevent the loss of water. However, it did not suddenly think of this, but it remembered that when it got into the shark's body to cut the meat, the water would dissipate very slowly.
It may not know that the air could take away water, but it knew that if there was something to cover, the water would be kept.
The headworm said, "Ika, the behavior is interesting and shows intelligence. It is worth observing. It can eliminate boredom. "
Then. Ika took the skin back to the waterhole for other companions. These companions saw Ika dragging back a piece of shark skin. At first, they did not understand what it meant. Instead, they avoided it because it was covered with shark skin, as if they were a little scared.
The ancient squids would reject their companions who behaved abnormally. The headworm almost looked and said, "Rejecting abnormal behavior, stupid behavior, obliterating the opportunity to learn."
Ika was puzzled by its companions. It threw down the shark skin and began to change its color constantly. It seemed that it wanted to explain something to its companions, but its companions did not seem to understand and still did nothing.
Then Ika had no choice. It began to do nothing. Like its companions, it was in a daze in the waterhole.
After all, their brains were not big and could not give them too much expectation. At least there was still a lot of water in the waterhole. They might want to wait for the sky to rain, or they were destined to die in the waterhole …
That didn't seem to be the case.
Day and night passed one after another. There was less and less water in the puddle. Now, the water in the puddle was only one meter wide and about ten centimeters deep. The ancient squids could no longer stand upright in the water. They started to panic. A few of them even wanted to run out, but when they realized that they were facing endless drying up, they immediately ran back.
At this time, Ika appeared again. It grabbed a piece of shark skin that it had thrown down at that time, put it on one of its kind, and let it try to climb out of the puddle again …
Only then did it know what the leader of Ika was thinking.
Then, Ika asked several companions to try to take the shark skin out. At this time, the whole group began to understand. They came to the shark carcass again and cut out a piece of shark skin for each of their companions.
Although the carcasses of the sharks were already dry and cracked, they would be fine after soaking their skins in the water.
After everyone was dressed, it was finally time to set off! The Ika had to lead their kind away from the puddles and to another location.
What is the other location? Of course, it was a place with more water, and if possible, more food.
That was what Ika was thinking, but before finding such a beautiful place, it needed to move forward in this dangerous canyon …
Ika slowly floated out of the water and looked into the distance of the puddle.
After crossing the shark carcass, it was a strange world for them. Under the scorching sun, there were mountain-like rock fragments everywhere. The dry and cracked earth was emitting heat waves that distorted the air. The giant dragonflies flying in the air from time to time made it feel scared.
However, it would die if it stayed there, so Ika planned to take a 'gamble'. Facing it, was it death? Or life? Only its fate could tell it … …
The brain worm guessed its thoughts. At the same time, the brain worm also said, "Brain, when you think more, you will become stronger."
At the same time, because Lin's Flyer looked like a giant vein dragonfly, it seemed to scare them, so Lin planned to keep the Flyer in a color-changing state.
When the second night came, Ika put on the shark skin, took the small sharp stone, and led its group away from the puddle that was getting smaller and smaller, embarking on a journey to the unknown world.
The ancient squids were very cooperative in the water, but on land, they did not have the cooperation that they had in the water. They were wearing shark skin and crawling slowly on the ground with their tentacles. The canyon at night was quite dangerous. Even so, as the leader of the group, Ika crawled at the front and led the whole group.
The brain worm in front of the monitor commented, "The leader is in front, stupid behavior, easy to get hurt and die, it is not good for the group."
Lin commented, "This brain worm is really interesting."
In the canyon of the Northern Continent, Ika was still moving with difficulty. They had crossed the shark carcass and walked a full five meters away from the puddle. They had never walked so far, but the moisturizing effect of the shark skin was really good.
As long as the gills of the ancient squids were wet, they could continue to breathe, but the dry and cracked ground made Ika's tentacles very uncomfortable, and the other companions were the same. The last one could not even move and was lying on the ground.
Ika wanted to find other water sources as soon as possible, and it had smelled the smell of water two meters in front of it.
Find water, find life …
Ika's body turned blue, indicating to the other ancient squids that it had found a target. All the ancient squids' blood flow instantly accelerated, and their emotions became extremely excited, including the one that had been unable to move before. At this time, they all seemed to be alive, and they crazily crawled forward, this speed was 10% faster than before!
However, in front of them, a huge rock blocked their path.
This huge rock was a fragment that fell from the floating island. It was more than two meters long and thirty centimeters high. This was an obstacle that they could not cross.
The water in the shark skin began to slowly deplete, and Ika could not lead the group around this rock.
What should it do?
"Roll, faster, faster." In this regard, the brain worm suggested, although they did not hear it.
Ika and its group stayed in front of the rock for about ten seconds. The water on the surface of its body slowly drifted away, so it had to quickly make a decision, that was … to crawl over.
Ika used the suction cups on her tentacles to stick to the rock wall and climbed up little by little. Several of the people behind her also began to try, but their skills were not so good. They were not very good at sucking on the smooth rock and fell down several times.
At this time, Ika had almost climbed to the top, but its group almost made no progress. It looked at its group, maybe it was considering whether to abandon them and leave by itself? Or to help them?
But before it decided, a creature suddenly appeared in front of Ika.
It was a lava spider. In this degree of oxygen, the monster that could grow up to tens of meters was now only a dozen centimeters, about the same size as Ika. It seemed to have just climbed to the rock, and at the same time, it saw Ika on the rock.
It was like the brain worm seeing a barbecue.
The lava spider was only about ten centimeters away from Ika, and it suddenly launched an attack on Ika! The lava spider's pair of thick teeth can inject hot liquid, which can kill prey more effectively than general toxins.
But before the lava spider rushed over, Ika launched an attack first. It sprayed a black liquid on the eight eyes of the lava spider.
This defensive black liquid also has a rancid smell. It is generally used to escape from predators, but this time it became an attack. The spider felt very uncomfortable because of the liquid spray. It desperately wiped its eyes with its forelimbs. Seeing this opportunity, Ika immediately climbed over. It raised the sharp stone that it had been holding and stabbed it into the spider's head.
It seemed to have pierced into the brain. The spider no longer moved, but the ink sprayed out made Ika more dehydrated. It had to find a water source quickly. At the same time, it also found a way to let its companions climb up.
Ika cut off the spider's leg with the stone. Because it saw that the spider could run fast on the smooth stone wall, it immediately thought of using the spider's leg. It threw the cut leg to its companions below. Then, Ika's companions could use the leg to climb up the rock wall.
But there were only eight spider legs, and Ika's group had nine ancient squids in addition to itself, so they immediately made a decision to pull up the weakest one.
Although they often argued with each other, they were surprisingly united at the critical moment.
With the spider's legs, it was easy for them to climb up. The ancient squids quickly climbed over the rock and came to the other side. At this time, the water finally appeared in front of them!
But in front of the waterhole, there was a twenty-centimeter-long salamander cub lying in front of the waterhole.
'Pa!' Ika stuffed the stone into the spray hole and sprayed it at the salamander.
The stone pierced the salamander's head. Although it was not a fatal blow this time, it was enough to make the salamander escape.
There was nothing that could stop Ika! Although the waterhole it found next was even smaller than the previous one. Floating astronomy.
