After listening to Falcon's speculation again.
Ye Yuan didn't expect it anyway.
The mutated beast that caused so many casualties this time turned out to be a giant earthworm.
Seeing Ye Yuan's expression of disbelief, Falcon said:
"Do you think it's incredible?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said honestly:
"It's really incredible. I never thought that a small earthworm could mutate so many times more than its own body."
Ye Yuan was right. When it came to understanding mutant beasts, he was really not an outsider.
After all, so far, he has seen fewer mutant beasts than this so-called Falcon Team.
But even so, he has never seen a mutant beast with such an exaggerated mutated body.
That's why I have some doubts about Falcon Team's judgment.
After all, so far, they have only inferred the current results based on some clues in the mine.
As for seeing it with your own eyes?
Except for the second group of people who came to the mine to investigate the situation.
No one alive now has actually seen the mutated beast.
The reason for this is very simple.
That was the mine in the valley, which had been dug full of holes by the mutated beast that was suspected to be an earthworm.
Even if the Falcon team sends down dozens of people.
It can be placed in an underground cave that looks like a huge maze.
Just like a few drops of water entering the ocean, there are no waves at all.
"Do you have any misunderstandings about earthworms?
Earthworms are not small animals.
You must have heard of the Gippsland giant earthworm, right?
Do you still think earthworms are little guys? "
Falcon looked at Ye Yuan and reminded with a smile.
What Falcon said about the giant Gippsland earthworm evoked some memories deep in Ye Yuan's mind.
If I hadn't heard this name again today.
He had almost forgotten the name of this earthworm.
No way, who made the Gippsland giant earthworm too far away from his life.
In addition, he is active in the sea all year round.
He only has a superficial knowledge of some biological knowledge on land.
The Gippsland giant earthworm is the largest earthworm found in the world.
They are concentrated on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
This giant Gippsland earthworm has a beautiful complexion, with the first 1/3 being dark purple.
The rear part is pink to gray.
The Gippsland giant earthworm is the only unique native animal found in kangaroo country and is an endangered species.
This species lives in deep underground caves and is therefore rarely seen.
Gippsland giant earthworms are relatively long-lived.
They breed and lay eggs during the warmer months.
Gippsland giant earthworms can only lay one egg at a time.
The eggs are about 4 cm to 7 cm long.
The eggs take about 12 months to hatch.
Gippsland Giant Earthworms They are approximately 20 centimeters when they are born.
It takes about 5 years to reach maturity.
According to statistics, the lifespan of this kind of earthworm can be up to 20 years.
I recall the information about these giant Gippsland earthworms in the back of my mind.
Ye Yuan looked at Falcon with some confusion and asked:
"Do you suspect that the mutated beast down here is the mutated form of the Gippsland giant earthworm?"
Falcon shook his head:
“In ancient China, earthworms were also called earth dragons, and some ancient books mentioned the existence of giant earth dragons.
So we have reason to believe that these giant earth dragons still exist.
It's just that they hide in places where it's hard for people to find them.
And the one discovered this time is most likely a mutant beast of these earth dragons.
This also explains why there are such large earthworm mutant beasts. "
Falcon said it seriously, but to Ye Yuan's ears, it felt so inconsistent.
Those ancient earth dragons with the ability to remove the earth.
Shouldn't they all appear in Xianxia?
Ye Yuanzhen doubted whether this Falcon was a fan of Xianxia.
Otherwise, how could such a theory be expressed?
"Then what do you want me to do for you?"
Ye Yuan no longer worries about this.
For him, no matter what biological mutation the mutated beast was formed from, the relationship is not that important to him.
"I heard Xu Hang say that you are very good at finding items in the sea.
I wonder if you can still have this ability underground? "
Falcon spoke very directly and explained his purpose when he came up.
Ye Yuan pondered, he was still a little uncomfortable with Falcon's directness.
After thinking for a few minutes, Ye Yuan finally said:
“In the sea, I rely on my super diving ability.
Underground, this ability is obviously of no use.
But my sixth sense is still very strong. If you don't mind, I'm willing to go down and try my luck.
See if I can help you find the mutated beast. "
Xu Hang and Falcon looked at each other.
Both of them saw a hint of disappointment in each other's eyes.
Finally, it was Xu Hang who spoke:
“Manpower is limited now, so if you are not completely sure, it’s better not to go down.
After all, the following situation is too complicated, and this is also for your safety. "
In the end, Xu Hang still considered Ye Yuan's personal safety issues and did not want to take the risk.
He knew that since Ye Yuan said this, it meant that he was really not sure.
Originally, he just planned to let Ye Yuan give it a try.
Now after hearing Ye Yuan's answer, he didn't intend to let Ye Yuan take risks.
"You don't have to worry about my personal safety.
If you are worried, you can give me a weapon and I can take care of the rest. "
The reason why Ye Yuan insisted on going down was not entirely because of curiosity.
Mainly because of the mutant beasts found in this mine.
The longer time passes, the worse it will be for Zhang Wuyue's family.
As Zhang Wuwen's good brother, Ye Yuan certainly didn't want his family's mine to be shelved indefinitely.
If he could help, of course he wouldn't mind helping.
This is why Ye Yuan is so active towards mutant beasts this time.
You know, when he was in school, Zhang Wuwu and Zhao Chuan helped him a lot.
Now that I have the ability to repay them, of course I won't be stingy.
“Since you have decided, of course we welcome it.
After all, we are really short of manpower now. One more person means more strength. Welcome to join us! "
Falcon nodded decisively.
For their team, they are now at the end of their rope.
A month has passed, and not even a shadow of the mutated beast has been found.
If this word spreads, won't it make those colleagues abroad laugh out loud?
But the reality is here, and it is impossible for them to send a large number of personnel in.
There is no way the terrain below is too complicated.
If a person without the ability to protect himself goes down, if he really encounters a mutated beast, it will be no different than sending him to death.
So in order to prevent more people from getting hurt.
They could only grit their teeth and use a small number of people to screen the huge underground maze.
