The monster in front of Lu Ye and the others was as tall as a two-story building! This monster looked like a majestic elephant.
But there are no elephant legs.
Under its body, there are densely packed legs that cannot be described.
Resembling a thousand-legged centipede.
Moreover, the monster's body has thick white long hair.
The mouth is so big that it looks like it can swallow an ordinary elephant in one bite.
There are also two very long fangs exposed on the side of its mouth.
Seeing this monster, everyone present was shocked.
Including Lu Ye.
Even though he is well-informed, he has never seen such a monster! Does such a thing really exist in the world? This monster seems to have not seen Lu Ye and the others.
It broke out of the ice and hung in the water.
Still flowing from the water, it remains motionless.
Its mouth is extremely huge.
The next scene made everyone at the scene cover their mouths! Lan Xing, who was originally restless on the shore, seemed to be crazy.
They are beating together.
It actually jumped directly into the monster's mouth.
What are you going to do? Are you going to die? Countless blue stars jumped up, as if forming a magnificent blue bridge in mid-air.
They threw themselves into the monster's mouth, and even the blue bridge gave it a sad color.
Mulan and the others, with their big mouths, could not understand the scene in front of them at all.
But at this time, Xiao Haitang's body suddenly shook violently.
Tears fell down her cheeks.
As if she mustered up the courage, she raised her hand with difficulty and pointed the camera in her hand at this tragic scene.
Then, while shedding tears, she recorded the scene, and then said: "I seem to know what this is, I remembered it, I remembered it all!"
Lu Ye and the others all looked at Xiao Haitang, "What did you remember?"
Xiao Haitang burst into tears and said, "I only remembered this when I saw this monster.
I remember a story my mother often told me when I was very young.
That was the first story that made me cry when I was a child."
"This monster, in the story, is called the Glacial Mammoth. It is a monster that does all kinds of evil."
"And those blue stars are called Blue River Cockroaches in the story.
They are making sacrifices now!"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard Xiao Haitang's words.
Glacial mammoth?
Blue River Clam?
What kind of story did Xiao Haitang's mother tell Xiao Haitang? Xiao Haitang kept holding on and told Lu Ye and the others the tearful story she heard when she was a child.
After Lu Ye and the others listened, the place fell silent! The blue river clam is hermaphrodite and has a single pregnancy.
The larger blue river clams in front of you are all adult blue river clams.
In the story, the glacial mammoth is the master of this world.
It controls day and night here.
The Blue River Clam is the only creature that exists in this world, but it is extremely small.
They need sunlight to grow.
One day without sunlight, their lives will end.
But the power to decide between day and night lies with the glacial mammoth.
Glacier mammoths emerge from the water at fixed times every day.
Just to eat blue river clams.
The adult Blue River Clam made such a decision in order to continue its bloodline.
Every day, some adult blue river clams actively sacrifice their lives to satisfy the appetite of the glacial mammoth.
As long as the glacial mammoth has eaten enough, the sky will be bright.
Only then can the lives of other blue river clams continue.
After Lu Ye and the others heard this, they were all shocked.
This is like a fairy tale! More like a legend! Just like the story of He Bo and Kappa that Lu Ye and his friends heard when they were young.
These elder Blue River Clams in front of them are sacrificing their lives for the continuation of their ethnic group.
No wonder Xiao Wangqing said just now that these things are so pitiful.
Mulan even burst into tears when she heard that. She kept asking Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, is this true? How could such a thing happen in the world! How can there be such a monster! How can there be a monster that can control day and night! You
Tell me, this doesn’t exist at all, right?”
Lu Ye's eyes turned red for a moment as he looked at the Blue River Clam that was still dying.
He doesn't want these to be true either.
However, it is understandable that any weird things happen in this extremely strange place.
The smart Lu Ye didn't know how to comfort Mulan and Xiao Haitang for the first time.
At this time, Lu Ye felt like someone pinched his face.
He looked back and happened to see Xiao Wangqing's eyes.
Xiao Wangqing swept away the sadness before and became a little gentle.
She pinched Lu Ye's face and said softly: "Uncle, don't be sad.
I can feel your mood."
Lu Ye just thought it was a child's nonsense, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine."
A few people just stared blankly at the terrifying Glacier Mammoth, enjoying the sacrifice of the Blue River Clam.
I don't know how long it took.
All I know is that there are fewer and fewer Blue River clams on the shore.
Suddenly, the glacier mammoth trembled and burped.
Then, it dived directly towards the bottom of the river and was never seen again.
There are only a few hundred Blue River clams left on the shore.
They no longer saw the majestic momentum they had before, as if they had fallen into endless sorrow.
The blue light on the body flickers feebly, as if to commemorate the death of a loved one and thank the loved one for their contribution.
They stayed silently on the river bank, and the light on their bodies suddenly gradually extinguished.
And at this moment, the sky suddenly brightened.
In mid-air, it was as if the sun suddenly appeared.
The warm sunshine shines down, making the world extremely white.
No more dreamy blue light.
The world is heartbreakingly pure.
But Xiao Haitang no longer looked as happy as before when she saw the beautiful scenery.
She knew that this white world was dyed with the lives of many blue river clams.
And she also knew why those little blue river clams left on the shore didn't leave.
They are the food for tomorrow's glacial mammoths.
I was lucky enough to escape today, but I only have one more day to live.
For them, life is, after all, just scraps in other people's mouths.
Even Lu Ye couldn't help but start to think about the meaning of life to these little blue river clams.
Willing to die in order to continue the race.
Then the next generation grows up and makes the same mistakes again.
It’s as if their existence is to die generously.
Then what is the meaning of such an existence?
This is a very sad paradox.
Mulan suddenly shed tears and said to Lu Ye: "Lu Ye, what should we do now?"
