Mark and the green caterpillar did not delay for too long and continued to accelerate towards the green caterpillar’s territory.
Along the way, Mark saw more Arbor snakes.
Different from the Arbor snakes we encountered during our previous journey, some of these Arbor snakes are very aggressive, and there are even scenes of Arbor snakes fighting and killing each other.
Occasionally there will be some green caterpillars escaping in panic in the grass and shrubs, and some scattered green caterpillar corpses will also be seen.
Not only the green caterpillars, but also in the territory of the green caterpillars, there are some Rattata that live in harmony with the green caterpillars. These Rattata are also constantly running away and acting more panicked.
Just like the green caterpillar is naturally afraid of Bobo and the Spearow, as a rat elf, Rattata is also naturally afraid of Arbor snakes, especially a large group of Arbor snakes.
Several spearbirds circled in the sky and screamed from time to time, as if they were watching the fun, and then flew towards the north.
Mark frowned in thought, thinking about the reason why these spearbirds flew north.
"What did the Spearow say?"
Mark asked the green caterpillar. The elves have a unique communication system that can communicate across species, so the green caterpillar can understand the meaning of the screams of the sparrows in the sky.
The green caterpillar did not answer immediately. Instead, it seemed to sense something and its body trembled slightly.
"The [Escape] feature comes into play again?"
Mark frowned slightly and saw that the green caterpillars had recovered, and at the same time he looked in the direction where several Spearows were flying away.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
"You mean, there's a fight happening there and it might be dangerous?"
"Hiss."
The green caterpillar nodded continuously, and Mark looked to the north, then to the west.
To the west is the location of the green caterpillar's territory, and the habitat of the Arbor snake is further west of the green caterpillar's territory.
"It's better to go to the green caterpillar's territory first and see how the situation is there."
One person and one insect accelerated further.
The closer to the territory of the green caterpillars, the greater the number of Arbor snakes and the more violent they behave.
In addition, Mark and the Green Caterpillar saw more green caterpillar corpses.
Unlike normal food chain predation, the bodies of these green caterpillars were exposed in the wilderness and no one cared about them. Mark also saw some Arbor snakes gnawing at the roots of some trees and spitting out some lavender liquid with a pungent smell.
.
It looks like they are marking their territory.
Mark took a deep breath and led the green caterpillar forward.
Finally, Mark and the green caterpillar arrived at the green caterpillar's territory, the sweet and spicy fruit tree that the green caterpillar had always missed, and the green stone where the green caterpillar was full of memories.
The surrounding area was in a mess, with many green caterpillar corpses scattered nearby. A strong and pungent poisonous smell hit the face. Some violent Arbor snakes were wandering nearby. When they saw the appearance of Mark and the green caterpillars, they immediately let out a low roar.
[Impact (seven-stage combo)]!
【Impact (instant hit)】!
[Impact (charged attack)]!
The green caterpillars cleared the area quickly. Although these Arbor snakes looked violent, they were not much stronger than ordinary green caterpillars. The strength of one Arbor snake was roughly equal to three green caterpillars.
Instead of holding back like they did with their own kind, the more than twenty Arbor snakes nearby lost consciousness one after another. Two Arbor snakes may have been in danger of death due to excessive force, but the green caterpillar had no intention of thinking about this. p>
During the many years of living in the forest with Mark, the green caterpillar has seen dead members of its own species. It even saw four dead corpses of its own species at the same time.
But this was the first time it saw more than a hundred corpses of its own species in sight at the same time.
The green caterpillar looked at these corpses of its own race at a loss. It couldn't describe its inner emotions for a while. In short, it was very uncomfortable.
"Hiss, hiss?"
After watching the corpses of its own kind for a while, the green caterpillar asked Mark why so many green caterpillars died.
Mark frowned and said: "It seems that it is a competition for territory, but according to my understanding, the Arbor snake in Qingxi Forest does not have the concept of territory. Similar to the bird elf Bobo, the Arbor snake only has a habitat.
In the swamp areas of the west, the environment there is most suitable for the survival of Arbor snakes, so most Arbor snakes are concentrated there, and there will be territorial competition unless..."
Mark stopped, he had realized the reason for this situation.
Taking a deep breath, Mark continued: "To cause such a change in these Arbor snakes, a being similar to the leader of the green caterpillar should be born among the Arbor snakes, who leads the group to expand its territory.
The Arbor snakes we saw on the way also have a reasonable explanation, which is ethnic rejection.
Just like when the leader of the guards expelled you, the leader of the Arbor snakes also expelled some Arbor snakes from their habitat, causing many Arbor snakes to migrate in all directions. Some Arbor snakes even migrated to the vicinity of Qingxi Village. We saw before
This is also the reason why snakes in Abai fight and kill each other."
Mark pinched his chin gently, and wanted to further explain the matter of Arbor snakes spitting out pungent venom, when something suddenly occurred to him and his face froze.
Mark took a deep breath and said: "We can't stay here anymore. Now go to the location where you sensed danger before.
The Abai snake group should have occupied all the green caterpillar territory, but they have not stopped and are still expanding further. If my guess is correct, the green caterpillar group should be driven there now."
The green caterpillar looked around blankly.
It still didn't understand that this was no longer the territory of the green caterpillars, so it saw that Mark was already heading northeast.
After taking a look at the nearby corpses of its kind, the green caterpillar quickly followed.
Along the way, the scenes along the way became increasingly chaotic.
The violent Arbor snakes kept roaring, while some scattered green caterpillars scurried around in panic like headless flies.
Finally, Mark and the Green Caterpillar arrived near the center of the battlefield and saw the protagonist who was very eye-catching in the center of the battlefield.
It was a dark purple Arbor monster that stood upright and was nearly four meters tall. The facial pattern on its abdomen was hideous and terrifying, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
As he got closer, Mark felt palpitations and goosebumps all over his body. The green caterpillar also felt like it was frightened and its hair was exploding.
It seems to be the [intimidation] characteristic of the Arbor monster, and the effect is so strong that even Mark was affected.
Near the giant Arbor snakes, there are not only numerous Arbor snakes, but also dozens of normal-sized Arbor snakes.
Opposite the giant Arbo monster and the snakes, there is a huge Bada butterfly, nearly 2.5 meters in size.
The butterfly wings look slightly damaged, but they still cannot hide the beauty of this butterfly.
I saw this butterfly dancing in the air, dancing a mysterious and elegant dance, with looming colorful colors lingering around the butterfly.
From time to time, one or two Arbor snakes and Arbor monsters would fly up into the sky and try to attack, but they could never touch this elegant butterfly.
The butterfly dancing in the air is visible to the naked eye faster and faster, and the colorful fluorescence surrounding the butterfly's body is becoming more and more intense.
"[Butterfly Dance]? It turns out that the [Butterfly Dance] used in the real world looks like this." Mark looked at the moves used by Badadie thoughtfully, and suddenly realized something, and said with a surprised expression: "... No, that's not right.
Is this big butterfly the leader of the green caterpillars?"
