Chapter 118 It is alive
"Is this a recurrence of indigestion from the stomach and intestines? In other words, those big bugs are likely to have no special excretion ports..."
While muttering to himself, Allen put on the gas mask and gloves that had been prepared, carefully took some of them with tweezers and put them in the test tube to seal them.
As a person with common sense in biological knowledge, he knew that these feces-like excrement may contain bacterial groups unique to giant worms, and these bacterial groups will help researchers understand this organism in depth and even use it to infer the environment in which the organism was originally located.
If it is really a species from the Dark Continent, then you can take this opportunity to understand the ecological conditions of the Dark Continent, especially the microorganisms.
However, just as the sampling was completed, Allen suddenly felt the ground under his feet start to vibrate, followed by a giant red worm slowly drilling into the tunnel beside him, opening his large ring-shaped mouth full of pointed teeth, constantly spitting out the ground with a mixture of brown viscous liquid and bone hair of different sizes.
Due to the relatively close distance, he could clearly see that this worm has no eyes at all. He relies entirely on the dense velvets on the surface of the red skin to sense the surrounding vibrations. Even if the light source of the flashlight is shining, it will not cause any reaction.
【social?】
Such a year suddenly popped up in Allen's mind.
There is no doubt that this is not the one I met before on the beach, because there is no thought line connected to it.
In order to figure out the situation, he and Rubos soon entered a state of utmost importance, carefully bypassing the behemoth and slowly exploring along the tunnel behind him.
After a while, I discovered an extremely shocking scene in another cave.
It was a large concave pit, densely packed with millions of red worm larvae, each of which was only the size of a finger.
Unlike those giant adult worms, they are so fragile that they can be crushed with just a little force.
What's even more terrifying is that the place where these larvae are not a simple pit, but an organ like the intestine of some kind of giant beast. Some other adult insects around are vomiting into the intestines that have been digested after primary digestion.
After obtaining food, the red intestinal walls begin to wriggle violently, making a gurgling sound, and secrete some white mucus.
After the larvae touched the white mucus, they immediately rushed up like crazy and snatched the mucus wildly. Among them, the guys who ate too much expanded rapidly like blowing balloons, and grew to about one meter in just a few seconds.
Seeing this scene, Allen's face finally became solemn.
He finally realized that the giant worms that were dominant on the island were actually just parasites in some larger organism, and this creature was the island under his feet!
That's right!
This island is alive!
At least judging from those digestive organs that are like the intestines, they are still alive.
As for whether he fell into a deep sleep or was seriously injured and was being cultivated, it is unknown.
No hesitation!
Allen took out the camera and took pictures of this scene. He then released the "Beast Knowledge" to check the detailed information of these bugs. Finally, he used his ability to use his mind to catch several larvae, sealed them in a jar, and quickly returned according to the same path.
After returning to the ground, Bao Deluo was the first to come over and ask: "How is it, what did you find?"
"Believe me, you will have nightmares at night after watching it. We must return to the Hunter Association immediately and report the situation here." Allen responded in a serious tone.
Now he finally understood the meaning of Kim R&F's saying, "It's just a coincidence that humans have not yet perished yet."
Compared to the horror of the Dark Continent, the environment in which humans are located is like a petri dish specially placed in a relatively safe place. Once it is invaded by species on the other side of Lake Mobius, there will be a danger of destruction in an instant.
Moreover, the existence of the "gatekeeper" is actually not to prevent humans from exploring the dark continent, but to protect the human world from perishing.
The so-called "five major disasters" are just the tip of the iceberg of dangerous creatures on the Dark Continent.
In this way, everyone rushed back day and night with the collected information and evidence.
Finally, in early November, I came to the Hunter Association again.
When Allen handed over all the photos, specimens and records, it instantly caused a sensation like a magnitude 12 earthquake, and even V5 immediately sent a specialist to intervene in the investigation.
Especially the living larvae brought back from the center of the island are directly sent to a fully enclosed laboratory for cultivation, observation and dissection.
About half a month later, an old man in his sixties came to Allen and said in an extremely serious tone: "Young man, thank you for finding a potential huge threat for us. After research, we agreed that the threat level of the living island should be raised to A and scrutinized. In return, in addition to those normal rewards, you can also make an additional request."
"Is that living island a species from the Dark Continent?" Allen tempted with interest.
"It's not certain yet! But according to biologists' judgment, it's very likely. Because in those worms and their forehead excrement, at least dozens of bacteria and viruses that have never been found in the human world, including very dangerous and lethal species."
The old man did not hide anything and gave the conclusion he has reached openly.
Because he knew who the boy was in front of him, and even more so the result of the duel not long ago.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely that Nitroro will be replaced in the near future and will become the new president of the Leader Hunter Association.
As a representative of V5, he believes that good relations should be maintained with it, especially in protecting the world from threats from species from the Dark Continent, otherwise God knows when the human world will suddenly become destructive overnight.
"If you don't mind, can you give me a copy of the reports about those bacteria and viruses? I have a hunch that maybe it won't take long to come in handy."
After learning that unique bacteria and viruses were indeed found in the worm, Allen immediately chose to ask for it.
This is really important for exploring the Dark Continent in the future!
Compared with unknown weapons - gold and silver ingots, gas life bodies - Essays - hell ringtones, and human-edged beasts - Papu, he felt that microorganisms that could not be distinguished by the naked eye were the most dangerous things.
The old man nodded without thinking: "No problem! We all share these information with the Hunter Association. You can directly find Qi Duo of the twelve teams, and she has a backup on her hands. Now, you can express your wishes. As long as it is not too much, I can immediately make a promise on behalf of V5."
"So... can I directly set my profile to be permanently confidential?"
Allen hesitated for a moment and quickly made a request that he thought was very reasonable.
This is inspired by Kim R&F's approach.
Because of this practice of cutting off the source of intelligence from the source, as long as people with a little brain, they will understand how huge energy is hidden behind them, which can effectively scare away those guys who are malicious and want to make small moves.
"Haha, of course. Also, we look forward to your active performance in the future. Goodbye, young man."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand and boarded the airship with several bodyguards and assistants. After a while, he disappeared at the end of the sky.
Chapter completed!
