Chapter 489

The sky was as dark as twilight, covered with dust and haze, and layers of dark clouds lingered.

In the dark sky, there is no trace of sunlight.

In the dark clouds, dark red lightning flashed from time to time, intersecting with each other, and fell from the distant sky.

The cracked and barren black-gray ground spreads undulating and rugged into the distance.

Mountains stretched across the land like huge scars, and an endless gray-black forest seemed to spread from the feet to the end of the sky.

Everything in this world seems to present a dark color, dark and mysterious, lacking a trace of life.

A large piece of gray mist filled the black forest, making the whole forest even more strange and full of danger.

From time to time, one or two dark red thunderbolts flashed down in the sky like poisonous snakes, splitting some huge trees straight and breaking them in half.

Bursts of green smoke ignited from the tree that was chopped, but it seemed that it would not ignite. The green smoke rose for a while and then disappeared, leaving only half of the scorched dead wood.

Looking closer, the ground is covered with all kinds of strange-shaped plants, and countless giant trees covering the sky are scattered all over the forest. These trees are all abnormally large, and each tree requires several adults to embrace it. , It is difficult to see the gap, and the thick tree roots broke out from the ground, crawling on the ground, like giant pythons.

At the same time, there are all kinds of thick companion vines entangled with each other, or strange-shaped plants and mushrooms densely scattered everywhere.

From time to time, one or two strange creatures emerged from the vegetation, looked around with extreme vigilance, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows of the vegetation.

These plants and creatures have all adapted to the dark, low-light environment of this world, so their colors are quite dull, or they are gray and white colors that lack vitality, and they all have extremely different growth and development mechanisms.

At this moment, in a corner of the forest, a "little thing" with a whole body in black was lying motionless in a dense grass like a palm leaf.

There was a glimmer of light in its eyes, as if it was waiting for something, and it was extremely patient. In fact, it had been lying like this for a long time without any receipt.

Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the grass.

The little thing lying in the grass suddenly moved, it was extremely skillful, and it moved in one go, like a juvenile cheetah, and rushed out almost at the same time.

but……

Paji!

It fell into the quagmire next to it!

It's not that the ground is too slippery, but its two short legs... numb!

The black shadow that sprang out from the grass was a small, dark green lizard-like creature. When it saw a fish-lipped creature that fell into the mud and fell into the mud, after a moment, it seemed to reveal something in its eyes. There was a hint of sneer, and then the figure disappeared into the jungle in a flash.

It's not stupid, the fish-lipped creature in front of it looked at it, obviously wanting to have dinner.

If you don't go now, when will you wait!

'Little thing' struggled to get up from the quagmire, and threw himself out unwillingly, but still didn't leave tonight's dinner.

It muttered something annoyed, then got up from the ground, ignoring the muddy water on its body, limping towards a certain place in the forest.

It was very careful along the way, and it seemed to have an innate keenness to avoid danger, and finally came to a very hidden cave.

This hole is under the root of a big tree, surrounded by vines and various plants, so it is difficult to find.

It cleaned up the traces and smells around it, then lifted the grass, and crawled into the hole along the tree roots.

This is its nest, a place to hide from wind, rain and danger.

Only in this place can it find a sense of security.

The underground space is not small, and there are many passages leading to various relatively safe places. Even if a hole is discovered, it can escape through another hole.

It took him a long time to slowly dig and build this nest, and he is very satisfied with his masterpiece!

But recently it has fallen into hesitation, it is considering whether to move!

Because just two days ago, an uninvited guest broke into its den.

But what makes it puzzled is, how did that 'big guy' get into its den from such a small hole?

Even the softest creature it has ever seen can't force its body into its small nest without leaving a trace around the hole.

And it has checked all the openings to make sure there are no signs of being crushed and damaged.

So it really can't figure it out.

And the reason why it is still hesitating instead of fleeing immediately, or killing the 'big guy' who invaded its nest, is because that 'big guy' seems to be dead!

It can't feel any breath of life from that 'big guy', and the 'big guy' is full of wounds and blood. In its cognition, the injury is so serious, it must not be saved, it can only be eaten.

But that 'big guy' looks so much like it, so it can't speak.

The little thing crawled into the cave along the entrance of the cave, and at the bottom of the cave, a black figure lay there curled up, eyes closed tightly, without any breath emerging from the body, as if dead.

The little thing squatted next to the black shadow, stretched out his hand and poked the black shadow's... butt, and muttered: "Why hasn't the big guy's body rotted a bit? Such a big guy, if it is forced out, it will definitely destroy the hole." .”

It frowned in distress and sighed deeply.

It is very cautious, but its knowledge is not enough, the situation in front of it has exceeded its cognition, so it cannot make up its mind.

"What if the big guy is still alive? Otherwise, let's move away... But I have been searching for two days, but I still haven't found a hiding place. If I leave like this, I might be eaten in the middle of the night." It appeared in its eyes. The color of fear, as if remembering something extremely terrible.

Hesitant and restless, it stood up, circled the 'big guy' twice, and kicked the 'big guy' hard.

"It's all your fault!"

It seemed that it was still angry, and it kicked again!

Boom!

With this kick, the silent black figure suddenly moved. He slowly opened his eyes, but a pair of dark eyes shone brightly.

This kind of light little thing has only been seen in the light of stars in the night sky.

But at this moment, its heart was filled with invisible fear, and waves of chills emerged from the bottom of its heart.

It backed away quietly, its back pressed tightly against the corner of the cave, letting the shadows hide its body, and then it slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave step by step.

It's a pity that things backfired, and those two bright eyes looked at it accurately.
