"Although they did not fall under the root system and be absorbed, they have now fallen back to the starting point. All their previous efforts were in vain, and they deserve it!" Meng Shutong couldn't help but mock them.
"Let's go, ignore these clowns." Gu Linyuan said: "The most important thing is to save our own lives and leave here."
So, the three bugs used the last bit of acceleration to continue climbing up quickly, which was just enough for them to climb close to the second branch.
"It seems that it is more efficient to go to the branches to eat the fruits. Otherwise, just climb up the trunk at this speed. Although the distance is short, the speed is also slow, and if you climb for a long time, you will get tired and eat the red fruits. It feels much more comfortable and I still have extra strength." Ye Linglong said.
"Okay, this time we continue to the direction of the branch, eat it and then climb up together. It is more efficient for the three of us to walk together." Gu Linyuan said.
"Okay! We will definitely climb to the top of the tree and get out of this hellish place!" Meng Shutong said: "Quick, quick, quick! Go, go, go!"
So, the three caterpillars lined up in a straight line and quickly climbed to the second branch, with a momentum that no one could match.
After some hard work, they finally climbed to the end of the trunk. The fruits here were less than those below.
"We only ate one before, what will happen if we eat two?" Ye Linglong asked, "Should we give it a try?"
"No." Gu Linyuan objected directly: "I saw the consequences of eating two. A bug ate one and greedily bit the next one. Then the whole bug lost control and fell down."
"It's such a pity. After all the effort to come here, I can only eat one at a time, and I have to come back every time." Meng Shutong sighed.
"This should be the rule for this tree. The rules are like this, there is no way." Gu Linyuan said.
Hearing the word "rules", Ye Linglong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Where there are rules, there are loopholes. If you work hard enough, you can get in!
"I have a solution."
Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan quickly turned to look at her.
"If we can't eat two at a time, then we don't want to eat. Can't we just move the other one away after eating one?"
"I can't reach it with my hands."
"I can't reach my mouth with my hands. Don't all those animals and insects use their mouths to hold things?"
"Yes!"
"But there is a problem here. If we hold a fruit in our mouth, our view will be blocked."
"It's not a big problem. Two worms are holding the fruit at the back, and one worm is clearing the way in front. After the speed fails, we can divide the two fruits equally among the three of us and continue to rush up. This saves the time of going to the branches, and the speed is directly faster. times, the risk is also reduced by half.”
After Ye Linglong finished speaking, Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan couldn't help but sigh, the little junior sister's brain is really good!
Just do it, Ye Linglong is leading the way, Gu Linyuan and Meng Shutong are holding the fruit behind.
As they rushed, Ye Linglong kept making sounds to remind them of their direction. When they encountered monsters blocking their way, Ye Linglong took care of them.
At this time, Ye Linglong also discovered that they were basically the last group to enter this place.
Before them, many monsters had been captured and used as bugs, so there were quite a few monsters ahead of them.
So, they rampaged all the way and quickly left the second branch and returned to the trunk to climb up. When they were about to climb to the third branch, the acceleration effect disappeared. The three of them ate two fruits and regained the acceleration. He rushed forward for a while.
After passing the third branch and rushing to the fourth branch, they turned and rushed into the fourth branch, looking for fruits to eat at the end of the branch.
I don’t know if I suddenly reached the fourth branch. The height here is much higher than before, the light is much brighter than below, and the field of vision becomes very wide.
Looking down, they saw that the insect-eating roots had grown to the height of the first branches.
When they looked up, they could vaguely see the sunlight blocked by the leaves. In other words, they could basically see the top of the tree, which meant they were getting closer.
Now the three of them were immediately full of confidence.
There are still other bugs on the fourth branch, but not as many anymore.
With their hard work, they quickly climbed to the end of the branch and saw the red fruits growing on it.
Ye Linglong climbed up to one of the red fruits and was about to bite it when suddenly a strong wind blew and the leaf she was on shook violently. Ye Linglong was so frightened that she hugged the leaf tightly with her hands and feet. Avoid being thrown off by leaves.
If you really fall down, all your previous efforts will be wasted!
Fortunately, the strong wind did not last long and ended after a while.
When the strong wind stopped, she happened to be turned over, from the top of the leaf to the bottom of the leaf, and the red fruit she just wanted to eat was hidden under the leaf.
So she hid under the red fruit and started eating it. She felt refreshed and happy after eating.
As she was eating, she suddenly heard a huge noise coming from the front, and the entire branch shook.
She poked her head out curiously and looked outside. She didn't know what to look at, but she was shocked when she saw it.
She saw a pair of huge claws landing not far in front of her, and the next second, a long and pointed beak fell from above, accurately eating a bug that was eating a red fruit.
! ! !
No, how come there are natural enemies here?
Are you going to let the insects live? They climb so hard. Not only are they struggling to survive, but they also have to avoid natural enemies?
Wait.
Ye Linglong was stunned for a moment. He looked at the uneaten red fruit being eaten by the big bird, and then looked at the uneaten fruit in front of him.
She was so frightened that she quickly opened her mouth and swallowed the remaining fruit in one gulp, which made her mouth bulge. If there was any more, she would not be able to hold it and spit it out.
After eating, she even licked up all the juice next to the corner of her mouth, fearing that any residue would be smelled by the big bird.
You don't need to think about it to know that it is attracted by the taste of fruit, to be precise, the taste of juice.
Because when this red fruit is chewed open, the aroma of the pulp and juice will waft out.
Therefore, the place where the big bird's beak pecked was not somewhere else, but the insect that was eating the fruit.
The big bird was still here, and Ye Linglong didn't dare to act rashly. She glanced around and found that Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan were also hiding under the leaves.
They watched in tacit understanding as the big bird stood on a branch and pecked at insects. After pecking out all the fruit-eating insects, it flew away.
As soon as it left, the branches began to sway up and down again with a slight light, and a few insects hidden under the leaves were shaken off.
When a bug is really miserable, its life is casual and easily gone.
