"This island is so abnormal! How did those insects, plants, and animals grow to be so big?"
Fei Jie smashed a large mosquito more than 40 centimeters long with his fist filled with qi, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Not only her, Bodrō had a similar reaction. She had already put on heavy armor and held two shields to deal with predators that suddenly rushed out of the dense plants.
Because for them, humans who are less than two meters tall and weigh no more than 100 kilograms are simply the bottom of the food chain on this island, so any predators will attack without hesitation when they see them.
Allen has obviously noticed this situation. He activated the tracking beast early and launched an attack circle at the same time. He replied helplessly, "Don't ask me, I don't know very well. From the information currently obtained in the Hunter Association According to the information, this place is located on the border of the human world map, and it was only discovered by chance in recent years by a fishing boat that was accidentally blown off course by Buster Gundam. There have been some hunters who have landed on the island to explore, but in the end only one came back alive."
"What? You mean... they were all eaten by that insect?" Fei Jie's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Maybe, maybe not. But I know one thing, that is, there must be a reason why the island's danger level is rated as B. And that Giant Worm is certainly not as big as it seems on the surface, and maybe it also hides some secrets that we don't know. Otherwise, why would someone offer tens of billions of Jenny as a reward for the corpse of a bug?" Allen touched his chin and analyzed.
If he couldn't find a suitable candidate, he would definitely bring an expert in biology.
But unfortunately, Hunter Association has not many talents in this field, and most of them are temporarily unavailable.
"Damn it! I don't think our team is suitable for such a task at all."
Fei Jie took out a piece of paper towel and wiped the mosquito bodily fluids on his fist, with undisguised disgust on his face.
"It is precisely because we have no experience in this area that we have to make up for our shortcomings. Beyond is right in some aspects. Dark Continent is the ultimate goal pursued by all hunters. If you want to survive and explore in such a harsh and extremely dangerous environment, you will definitely not be able to survive without certain knowledge of wild survival." Allen explained very seriously.
To be precise, since meeting Beyond, he has become more determined to expand his team.
If possible, it would be best to add an expert in geology, an expert in flora and fauna, and an expert in microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses.
Bodrō nodded in agreement. "Yes! Harsh nature is the best teacher! We can learn a lot on this dangerous island."
"Dark Continent..."
Fei Jie A strange light flashed in his eyes.
As they get along with each other longer and longer, she has gradually realized Allen's indescribable ambition and strong desire to become stronger, and all of this can only be satisfied when arriving at the Dark Continent, which is full of hope and Calamity Gundam.
In this way, a group of three people and a wolf kept walking through the dangerous jungle, collecting many never-before-seen plants as samples, as well as animal blood, hair, feces and photos.
In this process, a skill that more than 90% of hunters in the game have never used - Beast Knowledge, finally came in handy.
Of course, there are exceptions to those players who use this skill crazily as soon as they see Druid transformed into a bear or leopard.
No matter what animal it is, as long as you throw a Beast Knowledge over it, you can get a lot of useful information immediately.
In this way for five or six days, Allen surveyed almost more than 70% of the creatures on the entire island, established a preliminary ecological chain, and completed the ecological survey task entrusted by the Hunter Association.
There is only one thing to do next, find that huge worm and bring back some tissues, or living bodies such as eggs and larvae.
When they were about to reach the center of the island, everyone saw a scene that they would never forget.
"Oh my god! That... that's..." Fei Jie subconsciously widened his eyes, and his whole person became a little incoherent.
I saw the skull of an unknown creature raised high in the center of the island in the distance. Its hugeness exceeded the limit of human imagination. It was more than two hundred meters above the ground, and the end was connected to a huge skeleton like a spine.
These bones spiral and fall like snakes, forming a vertical passage leading to the deepest part of the earth.
"What an unimaginable size! Is this a dead python?" Bodrō asked in a tone full of surprise.
Click! Click! Click!
Allen directly took out a professional camera to take pictures of the scene in front of him, and then responded in an uncertain tone, "It should look like a creature similar to the appearance! But it may also be the corpses of those worms that have reached the final stage of development. I feel that this picture The skeleton, as well as those abnormal worms, are most likely from the species Dark Continent. Let's take a closer look. According to Nen thread's tracking, he should be in the tunnel leading to the deepest part of the underground."
"Come close? Are you crazy! Such huge creatures are dead! Maybe there is something more terrifying inside! I think we should turn around and leave immediately. The investigation here is enough, let the big shots handle the rest." Fei Jie objected strongly.
"Since you're here, I naturally want to go over and take a look and find out the truth of the matter. Bodrō, you stay here with her, and I will take Lupos to investigate."
After saying that, Allen jumped down from the tree and approached the location of the giant beast's skull at an extremely fast speed.
After about seven or eight minutes, he passed through the bone seam and entered the spiral downward channel.
Since most of the bones have been encased in soil, only a small portion extends outside, forming patches that look like steps extending from the wall.
And for some reason, the wind blowing up from below carries a strong rancid smell, which makes people want to vomit even if they take a breath.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Lupos, who has a keen sense of smell, obviously noticed something and immediately informed the owner of the situation through Soul Link.
"You mean it smells like Giant Worm down here?" Allen asked with his eyes shining slightly.
Lupos nodded without thinking, staring at the bottomless depths of the huge cave below with very vigilant eyes.
"Interesting! Could it be that the worms were brought to the island by this giant beast? Or, they are just parasites in the belly of this giant beast. When the giant beast died, they were completely released and became the overlord of the island? What about the other giant creatures on the island? Did they mutate after eating the giant beast's corpse? Or did the bacteria or virus carried by some kind of giant beast create a Gene Mutation?"
With strong curiosity, Allen accelerated his pace and continued to move towards the deepest point.
As the surrounding light became darker and darker, and the smell became stronger and more pungent, a place that looked like a garbage dump finally appeared in front of us.
This is a cave that is almost the size of more than a dozen football fields. It is surrounded by a variety of oval solids of different sizes and shapes. If you look closely, you will find that they are all a mixture of bones and hair. Some of them still have some brown viscous liquid remaining on them, as if they have just been regurgitated from the stomach.
