Wilderness Age

"That... do you still have any questions?" The crunchy child's voice sounded cautiously in the cave.

"Yes." Chu Xingzhou squinted at Lutuanzi, "There are so many gold coins, why are you so polite and polite in front of your Doblin friends, and usually talk to me like a rocket? It's me Doesn't deserve your respect, huh? Can you explain to me?"

Labrador was accused, twisted, and said: "Then, isn't that treating you as one of your own..."

After a while, he added grumblingly: "I was born on Earth, and there are no other Doblins there. You are my closest friends."

This is also the reason why Duoduo did not choose to return here after learning about the existence of the Central Mountain Range and finding the Doblin tribe.

"Okay, it's okay."

Chu Xingzhou stretched out his hand. Although Guang Tuanzi had no body and couldn't touch it, he still made a movement of rubbing his head.

Rabdo was relieved, and the light became brighter.

"Where are Suo Tianyou and Xi Wei?" Ding Sheng looked around and found that these two new friends hadn't come back yet, and they couldn't even see them.

"Let's look for it," Chu Xingzhou said.

The heart of the mother tree is surprisingly large.

Labrador flew in front of them. As a young Doblin, he was much more convenient to move here than they were. Chu Xingzhou told him to fly away first, and then come back to show them the way after finding someone.

After a while, Chu Xingzhou paused.

"Duoduo seems to have encountered a situation."

"what's the situation?"

Yu Ze asked, thinking of those strange signs on Xi Wei.

Not long after Labrador flew back, a little Guangtuanzi hurried over and shouted, "Come quickly!"

Chu Xingzhou: "Why are there so many things going on? Talk about it."

"They were discovered by the guards." Labrador shouted, "But that's not the point, the point is that there is something wrong with Xi Wei, she doesn't seem to be human!"

Both Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou shuddered, and shouted at the same time: "Let's go!"

When they arrived at Xi Wei's place, Doblin's guards also arrived.

"Here they are! Here!"

"They are in the heart of the 'mother tree'!"

"My God, it's the heart of the 'mother tree'!"

"Damn drifters, drive them out!"

The scene was chaotic, and Yu Ze vaguely saw that Xi Wei was surrounded by a large group of doblins, but there was an invisible eggshell-shaped barrier guarding her, preventing those doblins from approaching.

She knelt on the ground, the undulating lines of her back made her fragile and soft.

"Where is Suo Tianyou?"

Yu Ze looked around, but didn't see the man.

"Duoduo found him, over there!"

Chu Xingzhou pointed in one direction, and the two avoided Doblin and squeezed towards that direction.

Suo Tianyou fell to the ground. He was attacked, his chest was bleeding, his consciousness was in a semi-fuzzy state, and he muttered in his mouth.

After Yu Ze gave him the recovery potion, he opened his eyes and shouted: "Weiwei..."

"Suo Tianyou, what happened?"

It was strange that they were all in the cave of the mother tree, but Doblin turned a blind eye to them and ran to surround Xi Wei.

"It's a parasite!"

"Woooooo help!"

"Doblin Assemble! Doblin Assemble!"

"Emergency! Emergency!"

"It's the drifters who brought the gonads in!"

Yu Ze understood two key words in the chaos.

Parasite?

Golem?

Is it Xi Wei?

Suo Tianyou struggled to stand up, and caught sight of the woman surrounded by the black doblins.

He controlled the ability to speed up and rush over.

Halfway through the road, I heard Doblins exclaiming.

"Ahhh—the gopher has broken its cocoon!"

"Aphid attack! Aphid attack!"

"The phagocytosis is coming! The phagocytosis is coming! They are digging up the roots of the 'mother tree' again!"

Suo Tianyou staggered and almost fell to the ground.

From a not-so-close distance, Yu Ze could clearly see that the clothes on Xi Wei's body were torn, and along the white back, a bright red line of blood burst open, and two wings and long tentacles protruded from it.

The phagocytosis has broken its cocoon.

The scene in front of me made my hair stand on end.

A butterfly-sized phagocytic worm emerged from Xi Wei's torn body.

"Weiwei..." Suo Tianyou's eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't believe it, "Weiwei!"

"Suo Tianyou!" Chu Xingzhou grabbed him, "Calm down!"

"My God! What happened here?" A familiar voice sounded, full of panic in the voice.

It was Jacquel, who had just bid farewell to them, Dabrin, who was holding his face and screaming in the face of all this, and even dropped his purse on the ground.

"Jacquil!" Labrador flew to his side, "Do you know what's going on? They're calling for a goji, what is a goji?"

"Ah, what's going on, what's going on? I want to know what's going on too!" Jacquil yelled frantically, "Ah, damn drifter!"

He pointed at Xi Wei bitterly: "Do you know that drifter? She was parasitized! Golem! Do you understand? Forget it, you don't understand."

Labrador trembled, his instinct made him afraid of those small flying insects.

"Do they eat doblins?"

"No." Jacquil said, "They eat hearts, and the heart of the mother tree is their feast."

Doblins don't have a heart, so gophers are not a threat to Doblins, but the food for golems on the roots of the mother tree is too rich.

"Why is Xi Wei parasitized?" Yu Ze saw countless phagocytic worms come out of Xi Wei's body, and each phagocytic worm flew towards the heart of a "mother tree", "before they..."break the cocoon" , is Xi Wei alive?"

Yu Ze used a word he heard from Doblin's words, which vividly summed up the current situation in Xi Wei's body.

A gnat flew over with fluttering wings, and before it landed on the body, Yu Ze extinguished it.

"You'd better be careful. They don't just eat the heart. For species like yours with many organs in the body, the viscera are all food for the proteus."

Jaquel reminded coldly.

"If you are parasitized by it, of course you will die."

They swallow the viscera of the host, take over the body after eating, imitate the behavior pattern of the host before they were alive, and then lay eggs. The larvae grow up safely in the host's body, and the adults enter a dormant period. When the time is right, the adults wake up for the last time, open The host's body, the larva breaks out to find new food, and the adult dies together with the host's body.

In the heart of the mother tree, in this food-rich place, the clattering heartbeat aroused Xi Wei's desire to devour golems.

They couldn't hold back anymore, and broke out of the cocoon from the host's body.

There are more and more flying amphipods, besides the heart of the mother tree, several living people around Yu Ze have also become their targets.

"Why didn't I find out..." Suo Tianyou muttered to himself with red eyes.

"Camouflage is the innate ability of these creatures. They rely on parasitism to survive...it's not your fault." Yu Ze comforted, although this comfort seemed weak in the face of the facts.

Suo Tianyou didn't listen at all, he went crazy and rushed towards Xi Wei.

"Suo Tianyou!"

Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou hurriedly chased after him.

The desperate man picked up Xi Wei from the ground, not even caring about the amphiphagia falling on him.

Chu Xingzhou pulled him back, and Xi Wei fell back to the ground, like a bad doll with a broken mouth, stained with ashes, and a blood line on the back was dazzlingly red.

"Calm down!" Chu Xingzhou yelled at him loudly, trying to make him sober up, "Xi Wei...is dead, take heart, this is not the time for you to be weak! If you admit defeat, the next thing you will do is to be punished by these people." The monster eats it, and the skin becomes their next piece of clothing! Are you willing? You don't want to avenge Xi Wei, but you want to give yourself away too?"

Chu Xingzhou pulled him back by his collar, and at the same time, together with Yu Ze, knocked out the amphiphagia close to him.

Suo Tianyou seemed to be awakened by the word "revenge" suddenly.

He shook off Chu Xingzhou and used his wind ability with all his strength.

A strong wind blew up in the cave, and even the roots of the mother tree were shaking, and the gonad was blown up and down.

The wind gradually formed a vortex, and every little flying insect was brought into the vortex by the huge suction.

Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou cooperated with him and tried to kill these bugs.

Golems are afraid of fire.

But the problem is that Doblin is also afraid of fire, so it is impossible to set a fire in the heart of the mother tree to burn them to death. If the amoeba dies, the mother tree will also suffer a great deal of damage.

There is no particularly effective way to do it other than fire.

It can be said that the gonad is the natural enemy of the mother tree, and Doblin hates it.

Usually, once the heart of the mother tree is attacked by gophers, what Doblin can do is to call all the nearby Doblins and try their best to drive them out of the cave.

The phagocytosis is harmless to Doblin, but if the heart of the mother tree is damaged, it is tantamount to a catastrophe for Doblin. Of course, the mother tree is not easy to die, but when the damage is serious, the newborn Doblin will die. The number of forests will decrease sharply, which is not conducive to the survival of doblins.

After discovering that the phagocytic worms were gathered by Suo Tianyou, the Doblins shouted excitedly: "Okay! Okay! Very good! That's it! Throw the damned bad worms out!"

The Doblins rushed to the root cave one by one.

"here!"

I don't know if it was the mother tree's initiative, or what Doblin did, the roots in a small area moved one after another, and spread out as if they had grown feet, leaving an open space.

Suo Tianyou used the wind to move the gnats towards that place, most of the worms were taken away in this way, and the remaining scattered parts were still struggling to eat towards the heart in other places in the cave.

The larvae of these amphiphagia are as nimble as little butterflies when flying in the air, and they can always dodge Doblin's pounce just right, but once they stick to the heart of the mother tree, they are like blood-sucked mosquitoes or Stumbling around like a drunk, that's when they're most vulnerable.

Their wings were folded, and their bodies were curled up into pupae. The Doblins took off the pupae and crushed them one by one.

Seeing Doblin's posture as if facing a formidable enemy, Ding Sheng was a little surprised: "Why can't the mother tree deal with the gonads by itself, her roots can suck the vitality of the drifter, so can't they suck up the gonads?"

A Doblin heard his doubts and said angrily: "What kind of life is a gonad? They are parasites, bedbugs that cannot exist independently without a host!"

The implication is that the mother tree is really helpless against them.

The heart that had been bitten by the amphibolus collapsed rapidly, and this scene can be said to be a lose-lose situation.

When relying on a large number of people to find out one by one the amphipods that had pounced on the heart of the mother tree, Doblin's army also rushed into the wind of Suo Tianyou.

The phagocytic worms that have not eaten the heart are still in the state of translucent butterfly wings. After catching the phagocytic worms, Doblin tore them in half with his hands, and threw the broken wings back into the wind.

Chu Xingzhou wondered: "Are they going to deal with the gophers like this? How long will this be torn?"

The torn phagocytic worms are not completely dead, but have lost their temporary ability to move. Their bodies that fell to the ground are still shaking, looking for flesh and blood. Heart flies.

Xi Wei is a supernatural being of the healing department.

Her abilities nourish the larvae, making them vigorous and resilient.

Doblin also noticed this situation, and shouted anxiously one by one: "How many amphiphagia has this parasite raised!"

The scattered gophers couldn't be completely wiped out, and Suo Tianyou couldn't deal with the goats gathered in the wind. His powers weren't endless, and he was just relying on hatred to keep outputting.

Yu Ze tried the anthelmintics configured in the space, but the effect of the medicine was very weak against the amphiphagia, and he could only deal with a few of them sporadically, and could not take effect on a large area.

Chu Xingzhou: "I still recommend using fire, pay attention to controlling the fire, and extinguish it in time, so as not to harm the mother tree as much as possible."

Jacquel: "No! You can't control it well! The phagocytosis will run wildly after being ignited, Drifter, I noticed that none of you are capable of controlling fire. It is impossible to control it well in that situation. Yes, it’s easy to set a fire and it’s hard to put out a fire, and then not only the mother tree, but you, me, and the entire central mountain range will all be burned! Don’t mess around!”

He was right.

But...can we just stand still?

Jaquel looked serious.

More and more Doblins rushed to the Heart of the Mother Tree.

Facing the golem swaying in the wind in the cavern clearing, Doblin shouted.

"The valiant Doblin will not back down!"

"The heroic Doblin is fearless!"

"Dodo Brinda!"

They jumped up high, leaped onto the rocks, stepped on the rock wall, and plunged into the wind, colliding head-on with pieces of gonads.

Then after colliding, they scattered into a ball of green light and white light.

The rays of light collided and intersected in mid-air, scattered separately, and fell to the ground, dotted and dimmed gradually.

They all died together.

Both Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou saw this scene.

This seems to be Doblin's ultimate solution to the Golem.

Chu Xingzhou asked Jacquel: "Is this kind of sacrifice necessary?"

Jacquil looked solemn: "It must be, if the phagocytosis is not contained in time, they will eat a large number of hearts of the mother tree in one day, and then quickly reproduce a new generation - not like when they are parasitic in the human body, after many days. After hatching, sufficient food will allow the larvae to grow rapidly, and within a day or two, there will be the next generation and the next generation, and by then, the heart of the mother tree will be finished."

Little Rabdo asked: "Jacquell, will the mother tree die?"

"No." Jaquel said, "the worst case - I mean the worst, but it's unlikely to happen - the mother tree will wither, but in the long life of the mother tree, this is temporary , her roots lost their hearts, and the canopy lost their leaves, but she is still alive, even after a long time, she can usher in new vitality and rejuvenate."

"However, Doblin will die. All the Doblin of our generation will die."

Jacquel looked at Labrador, "Without the mother tree, a small Doblin like you can no longer differentiate, and the differentiated Doblin will gradually weaken, and there will be no new ones until the mother tree recovers. Doblin was born."

"The Central Mountain Range will become a desert."

They saw more and more doblins pounced into the wind, turning into streamers together with the gonads, falling down like exhausted fireworks. Although this represented a cruel fact, this picture was extremely as beautiful as possible.

The ones that crashed into the wind were mostly Brin that had undergone secondary differentiation, and some of them left a cyan nucleus after their bodies dissipated.

The amphiphagia was not interested in Doblin's nucleus, and the roots of the mother tree stretched out in a meandering way, taking back the blue nucleus.

The legendary life of a Dabrin.

Facing the blue core, Jaquel stood up straight and silently paid tribute.

Labrador asked, "Jacquell, what can I do?"

"What can you do? Well, prevent the bugs from getting close to the heart of the mother tree, lest they multiply quickly." Facing the unavoidable battle, Jacquil's tone was relaxed, "Little Rabdodo, it's not my turn yet, But if the phagocytosis grows too fast, I will be on it soon, and at that time, there may be no time to say goodbye, so I will say goodbye to you in advance."

Labrador trembled, as if foreseeing a terrible future.

Chu Xingzhou frowned and asked, "Is it really serious to this extent?"

"Oh, it's not likely." Jacquier said, "Doblin has seen more serious scenes than this, and the brave Doblin will wipe out these bugs. Little Rabdodo, the future belongs to you, and belongs to everyone." Brin, hold on until tomorrow morning, when the early morning mist brings new life, the amphiphagia will be purified."

He paused, then continued, "It's just possible that I won't be able to see the morning fog tomorrow."

He is a secondary split Doblin, an elder among the Doblin.

Labrador grasped a glimmer of hope from his words: "If the mist can purify them, then we can drag the gonads and prevent them from eating the mother tree!"

"Little Rabdo, if we don't curb the number of phagocytosis, the mother tree will be gnawed bare before tomorrow morning. If we persist until tomorrow morning, the number of phagocytosis is too large, and they can build enough A barrier to resist the invasion of the mist."

Yu Ze remembered the full name of the Central Mountain Range, Doblinda Mizels Central Mountain Range, which means the Misty Mountains in the center of the world belonging to the legendary Doblin.

The mist that rises from the central mountain range in the early morning has a purifying effect, and can directly decompose the broken and weak gophers, and the strong enough gophers will also be trapped by the mist and cannot move. This is Doblin The best time to deal with phagocytosis.

The Mists guard the Mother Tree, and all life in Doblin and the Central Mountains.

"persist in."

Jacquele left the last sentence and continued to fight against the amphiphagia.

Labrador floated beside Chu Xingzhou, the green light trembled, and his voice choked up: "I, I don't want Jacquier to die."

Chu Xingzhou touched the light group silently.

"Ahhhh-"

At this moment, one after another exclamation suddenly came, one after another.

A rift opened soundlessly here and now.

Just above the cavern clearing, in the whirlwind of doblins and golems entangled.

Without warning, the huddled doblins fell into the crack and disappeared.

The surrounding Doblins were all taken aback by this scene, screaming and scattered in a panic.

It passed through the wind whirlpool like a long scar, lying across the cave, and even the roots of the mother tree fell into the crack partly, twisting under the nameless force of space.

Suo Tianyou's wind ability collapsed all of a sudden, the amphipods escaped from the force of the wind, some fell into the crack and went to another dimension, some escaped here, and attacked the heart of the mother tree again.

Yu Ze grabbed Chu Xingzhou's arm: "It's the crack channel, the channel has opened!"

This is exactly what the three of them were looking for when they came to the main underground city of Doblin. The passage from the crack world back to the earth world, no one expected, it opened at this critical moment.
