After leaving the farm, they were faced with unknown dangers and crises. It was impossible for Chen Mu and the others not to make preparations. In addition to two pistols, they also brought long grass, bows and arrows, as well as fresh water and dry food. I didn’t leave anything behind that I could bring with me. I also brought with me whatever I didn’t expect—Catwoman Meow Meow.
"Why are you following me?"
Jiang Nan deliberately fell behind, blocking Catwoman's way with his hands on his hips, and asked in a bad tone.
"I am a young girl in love, and I wish to follow in the footsteps of my lover. What, are you jealous?"
"Ah! Is your skin as fair and tender as mine? Is your face as good-looking as mine? Are your breasts as firm as mine? Are you still a girl? Go back, go back, my boss won't like you."
"Giggle! I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about my sister. You like your boss, right? Just in time, I'll help you, but you have to help me too. The boy belongs to you, and the girl belongs to me."
Jiang Nan was shocked: "Your target is actually my sister Li?"
"Yes, are you happy?"
"No chance, no chance. My sister Li has a boyfriend to take care of her. She doesn't accept maids."
"I have a boyfriend, but what about a girlfriend? Besides, how can a man know how to take care of a woman?"
Catwoman acted as if she were taking it for granted, but Jiang Nan felt speechless. He ran back to Chen Mu and said mysteriously and matter-of-factly: "Boss, you have a love rival. The enemy is hotter than you. You take the initiative and you are better at flirting, do we want it?"
Jiang Nan winked and made a killing gesture with a groan, but Chen Mu glared back.
"If you have such leisure, you might as well save some energy. Don't run away if you encounter danger."
"Jiang Nan, come with me. Your boss still wants to explore the road, let's try not to distract him."
"oh!"
Feeling that he would be repaid with kindness for doing good deeds, Jiang Nan glared back at the man while his back was turned to him, and then obediently retreated to Li Luo. Li Luo persuaded Jiang Nan and then turned to look at Catwoman.
"Miss Meow Meow, our trip is extremely dangerous. We don't have any extra energy to take care of you. Why don't you go back to the farm? That will at least be safer."
Catwoman walked over to Li Luo and said with a smile: "I am here to protect you. If you don't go back, of course I will follow you to the death."
"Thank you for your kindness, but we are not sure whether we can leave the island safely, so you have to think carefully."
Catwoman's smile was slightly stagnant: What a woman with such a clear heart, she could see through her thoughts so easily. She bet that Chen Mu and the others had the idea of leaving, but she never revealed it to the Black Widows.
"It doesn't matter, I said, wherever you go, I will go."
Having said this, Li Luo stopped trying to persuade him. Danger often coexists with opportunity. Although there are many crises along the way, it is also an opportunity to leave the desert island. Since the other party is willing to do so, she is also happy to have another companion to share the crisis.
The weather is hot and the air is humid. The jungle on the desert island is primitive and dense, and the trees are covered with vines. The path that Yang Chen and others took was no longer clear. Chen Mu could only look to the north and try not to take a detour. He kept striking with the spear in his hand and used his body, legs and feet to barely open up a feasible path.
After walking a little while, a trail suddenly appeared under the four people's feet, as if it were crushed by a huge python. New shoots sprouted from the broken grass and trees sticking to the ground.
"Boss, this path almost leads to the north. Should we take it?"
Standing on the roadside and observing, Jiang Nan asked in confusion. Perhaps because she had fallen into a dream too many times, she strongly suspected that the road was pressed out by a big snake.
Chen Mu looked carefully and saw that the path was more than half a foot wide. According to the normal contact area of a snake, the snake's body was much wider than that.
"Go along the road and be careful."
Chen Mu was 90% sure that this road could not be crushed by a big snake.
Li Luo unconsciously leaned closer to Chen Mu and reminded in a low voice: "Mu, this path is definitely not man-made, and it looks very new. There is probably a giant beast ahead."
"I know, it shouldn't be a problem if we are careful. Besides, the direction of this road is consistent with our goal. Even if we detour to the end, we can't avoid it. Maybe it will branch halfway."
Facts have proved that Chen Mu's luck came to nothing.
After only two or three miles, a creaking sound came from ahead. The four people's hearts tightened and they were on guard. They approached cautiously and soon saw a shocking scene: from a distance, it looked like a golden mountain, penetrating the dense leaves. Under the sunlight, the reflected light shines in the deep forest. What everyone wants to say most is: What a big ant.
This is a magical golden ant, with a conical horn high on its head, more than ten feet tall, and nearly a hundred meters long. It walked leisurely in the virgin forest, its six legs were like gilded beams, and every step left deep marks on the ground.
The first thing that caught people's attention was its unusually plump belly, which was round and stuck to the ground. As it dragged it, it crushed the jungle and carved a trail, which was the path that Chen Mu and the others saw.
The most surprising thing is that the hairs on its body are of different lengths, just like golden threads, and there are hundreds of millions of them to count. At the end of many golden threads is something about the size of a thumb, mixed with yellow and white. Upon closer inspection, I realized that these thumbs were actually living creatures, with sound limbs that looked like monkeys. Compared with the golden giant beast, they are more like ants, densely scattered around the giant beast.
"Boss, those gold threads are so beautiful!"
"The Moonlight Clan thinks so too."
"Um?"
Jiang Nan didn't understand, but Chen Mu didn't explain. Li Luo made a silence gesture to her, and then whispered: "This kind of unicorn is called Jinfu, and it lives by absorbing nutrients from the Moonlight Clan.
Those little animals at the end of the golden wire are the Moonlight Clan. The Moonlight tribe needs gold elements to survive, and they spend more than one-third of their day looking for gold elements. The more gold elements the Moonlight clan has, the higher their status in the race is. Especially for males, only by obtaining enough gold elements can they win the favor of the opposite sex and be eligible to reproduce.
The Golden Clothes Beast also needs the gold element to survive, but it does not need to obtain it by itself. Instead, it wanders around and tempts the Moonlight Clan. Its body surface contains a lot of gold elements, and its hair is almost made of gold elements.
At the beginning, the Moonlight Tribe attracted by it will eat the metal fluff. After the fluff enters the Moonlight Tribe's belly, the metal on the surface of the tip will be digested, then rapidly decompose, and take root in the Moonlight Tribe's stomach like a tree root. . As time goes by, the roots will spread to the blood of the Moonlight Clan.
From then on, half of the gold elements obtained by the Moonlight Clan will be absorbed by it. "
"Ah! Why are the Moonlight Clan so stupid? It's obvious that the gains outweigh the losses."
"Not only that, as long as the Moonlight Tribe is rooted, nine out of ten will never be able to get rid of it. Look at its body, body, and surroundings. Most of these Moonlight Tribes can only follow it until they die. Even their descendants can't get rid of it. There is no escaping the same fate.”
"Wouldn't it be the golden beast that died first?"
"The Moonlight Tribe can only live for a hundred years at most, but as long as there is a steady stream of support from the Moonlight Tribe, the Golden Clothed Beast will not only never die, but will also continue to grow."
"It's too scary. It's too scary. It won't eat people, right?"
"You'll be fine if you don't touch the gold wire, or be careful not to get tangled in it. Although the gold-clad beast is very tempting, it rarely attacks other living creatures."
"That's good."
Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Yuyu's golden light and said it was a pity: This is wealth within reach!
"So, can we follow it?"
Catwoman saw the golden beast for the first time, and she was curious and nervous. After hearing Li Luo's explanation, she immediately became bolder.
"Just stay away and it should be fine."
Chen Mu decided to use the path created by the golden suit beast, not only for convenience, but also for safety. With such a big guy around, other ferocious beasts would not dare to approach rashly.
The golden beast walked very slowly, even unable to match the pace of the four people. Jiang Nan almost couldn't help throwing stones to chase him away, but luckily he was stopped by Li Luo. Along the way, they also saw someone from the Moonlight Clan being attracted and jumping towards the golden thread in surprise. Then they found love the next moment, but within a few minutes they were trapped again, and they were dragged even if they fled in other directions. Walk.
"Shh! Look, Little Bear."
The three of them looked where Jiang Nan was pointing, and saw a black, white, fat, round, domestic cat-sized, furry little beast walking out. It pounced on the Moonlight Tribe, but it was too clumsy and tripped itself first.
"Haha! This little idiot is so cute."
Jiang Nan just laughed out loud and covered his mouth, then tiptoed forward. The little bear was still biting the Moonlight Tribe unwilling to admit defeat, but the opponent just casually sided it and let it hit nothing.
Seeing that Jiang Nan wanted to capture pandas, Chen Mu didn't stop him. Maybe he could get some meat at night. But surprisingly, Jiang Nan also tripped himself.
"I'll go~ Who can give birth to a son and throw things randomly on the road?"
Jiang Nan stood up angrily, vomiting the leaf curse in her mouth, and turned around. She saw the panda glance at her curiously, and then continued to chase the Moonlight Clan as if nothing happened.
"Young man, you don't know whether to live or die."
Jiang Nan was overjoyed, with a devilish smile on her face as if to catch her, but the accident happened again. She only felt something pulling her, and she fell to the ground unprepared.
"what happened?"
Chen Mu, who was watching the show on the side, immediately noticed something unusual and came up to check with furrowed eyebrows. Jiang Nan vomited and got up. When he looked down, his beauty suddenly turned pale.
"Boss, I'm stuck."
——At some point, a golden thread was wrapped around Jiangnan's shoes, and one end was connected to the golden beast in the distance.
"Don't panic, there's no danger for now. Just try and see if you can take off your shoes."
Saying it was Jiangnan's test, Chen Mu quickly squatted down to take off his Jiangnan sneakers.
"Ah! It hurts."
"The roots have grown. Let's see if we can break the golden thread."
Li Luo also immediately stepped forward to help, passing rocks to Chen Mu and suggesting breaking the gold wire.
Chen Mu didn't think too much. He ran forward and smashed it hard, but for a long time, no results were achieved.
"No, the gold wire is too thin and cannot be touched at all. And it is much harder than a stone, so it can be hit repeatedly."
"Jiang Nan, go around the tree in front of you a few times and see if you can let the golden beast break it by itself."
Jiang Nan was so anxious that she could even feel the golden tendrils drilling into her pores. After hearing Catwoman's suggestion, she chose a big tree and walked around without thinking.
After circling Jiangnan three or four times, the golden thread was stretched straight by the golden beast. While everyone was nervous, the situation once again made people desperate: the golden thread was easily strangled into the big tree, and even Jiangnan's end was implicated.
