Chapter 170 Primitive Squid Tribe

It was another night shrouded in darkness, and the little creatures struggling to survive in the canyon began to move quietly again.

It is called 'Ica', it is the leader of the group, it has wisdom, it has strength, it is a symbol of the future!

That's what the brain worm said. In fact, the name "Ika" was also given by the brain worm.

Ika led the group to obtain a large amount of shark meat at the waterhole, which solved the food problem, but the water in the waterhole is now less and less. It used to be a space of one meter deep and three meters wide. After they ate most of the sharks , also shrunk by more than half...

Although the ancient squids hunt in groups, they usually don't like to crowd together. Facing the increasingly small space, although the ancient squids are only ten centimeters long, they also start to feel restless because of the crowding.

They all felt that death was approaching. Faced with this situation, Ika had to come up with a new way—to get out of here.

Leaving the puddle requires water to ensure that he will not dry up. Thinking of this, Ika approached the shark carcass on the shore again with a sharp stone, and used the stone to cut off the shark's skin.

Ika wrapped the cut shark skin around his body and gills at the same time. He found that this can effectively prevent water loss, but it didn't come to him suddenly, but he recalled cutting into the shark's body. When cooking meat, moisture will be released very slowly.

It may not know that air can carry moisture away, but it knows that if something covers it, the water will hold.

Here's what Brain Bugs says: "Ika, funny behavior. Shows intelligence and is worth watching. Kills boredom."

Then, Ika took the skin back to the water hole and gave it to other companions. When they saw Ika dragging back a piece of shark skin, they didn't understand what it meant at first, but they all avoided it because it was covered with shark skin. It seems a little scared.

The ancient squid would actually reject companions with abnormal behavior, while the headworm almost said "reject abnormality, stupid behavior. Kill the opportunity to learn."

Ika was puzzled by his companion. He dropped the shark skin and began to change color. It seemed that he wanted to explain something to his companion, but his companion didn't seem to understand it, so he stayed aside and did nothing.

Then Ika couldn't help it, it also started doing nothing. Like his companions, he was in a daze in the puddle.

After all, their brains are not too big, so they can't give too much expectation. At least there is still a lot of water in the puddle. They may want to wait for the sky to rain, or they are destined to die in this puddle...

Doesn't seem to be the case yet.

Day and night passed one after another. The water in the puddle is also getting less and less. Now the water in the puddle is only one meter wide and only about ten centimeters deep. The ancient squids can no longer stand upright in the water, and they are starting to panic more and more. A few even started to run outside, but found that they were facing an endless dry time. He fled back immediately.

At this time, Ika appeared again. It grabbed a piece of shark skin that was dropped at that time, put it on a similar body, and let it climb out of the water hole again...

Only then did it know what the leader of Ika was thinking.

After that, Ika asked several companions to try to take the shark skin out. At this time, the whole group began to understand that they came to the shark body again and cut out a piece of shark skin of just the right size for each companion.

Although the shark's carcasses have long been dry and cracked, if they take the skin back to soak in the water, there will be no problem.

After everyone is dressed, it's finally time to go! Ika had to lead their kind out of the waterhole and to another location.

What is the other place? Where there is more water, of course, and possibly more food.

Ika should think so, but before finding such a beautiful place, it needs to move forward in this dangerous canyon...

Ika slowly emerged from the water, looking beyond the puddle.

After passing over the shark's corpse, it is a strange world for them. Under the scorching sun, there are rock fragments like mountain peaks everywhere, and the dry and cracked earth emits heat waves that distort the air. The huge dragonfly that passed by made it frightened.

However, staying forever is death, so Ika intends to make a 'gamble', facing it, is death? or life? Only its fate can tell it...

The brain worm guessed its thoughts like this, and at the same time, the brain worm also said: "Brain, if you think rich, you will become stronger."

At the same time, because Lin's flyer looks like a Meganeuronfly, it seems to scare them, so Lin plans to keep the flyer in a discoloration state.

When the night of the second day and night came, Ika put on the shark skin, took the small sharp stone, and led his group away from the smaller and smaller water hole, embarking on a journey to the unknown world.

The ancient squids are very cooperative in the water, but they have no cooperation in the water on the land. They are covered with shark skin and crawl slowly on the ground with their tentacles. The canyon at night is very dangerous. Even so, Ika, as the leader of the group, , still climbed to the front, leading the whole group to move.

The brainworm watching in front of the displayer commented on this: "Leader at the front, stupid behavior, easily injured, dead, not good for the group."

Lin commented this way: This brain bug is really interesting.

In the canyon of the North Continent, Ika is still moving with difficulty. They have passed the shark's body and walked a full five meters away from the water hole. They have never walked that far, but the shark skin Moisturizing effect is really good.

As long as the gills of the ancient squid were wet, they could continue to breathe, but the dry ground made Ika's tentacles very uncomfortable, and so did the other companions. The last one even lay on the ground so hard to move.

Ika wants to find other water sources as soon as possible, but it already smells the smell of water two meters ahead.

Find water, find life...

Ika's body turned blue, indicating to the other ancient squids in the group that they had found their target. All the ancient squids' blood flow accelerated instantly, and their emotions became extremely agitated, including the one that could not move before, and they all seemed to come alive at this time In general, they crazily crawled forward, this speed was 10% faster than before!

But in front of them, a huge stone blocked the way of the ancient squids.

This boulder is a fragment that fell from the floating island. It is more than two meters long and thirty centimeters high. This is an obstacle that they are difficult to overcome.

The water in the shark skin also began to lose slowly, and Ika could not lead the group around this rock.

What should it do?

"Turn over, faster and faster." In this regard, the brainworms made suggestions, although they didn't hear it.

Ika and the group stayed in front of the rock for about ten seconds. The water on the body surface slowly drifted away, so they had to make a quick decision, that is... to climb over.

Ika used the suction cups on his tentacles to stick to the wall of the rock, and climbed up bit by bit, and a few of the groups behind it also started to try, but their skills were not so good, and they were not very good at sucking smooth rocks. The rock, fell down several times.

And Ika had already climbed to the top at this time, but its group had hardly made any progress. It looked at its group, maybe it was considering whether to abandon them and leave by itself? Or to help them?

But before it could decide, a creature suddenly appeared in front of Ika.

It was a lava spider. Under this level of oxygen, the monster that could have grown to tens of meters is now only a dozen centimeters, about the size of Ika. Ica on the rocks.

It's like a brain bug seeing a barbecue.

The lava spider was only about ten centimeters away from Ika, and it suddenly attacked Ika! The lava spider's pair of thick teeth can inject scalding liquid, which can kill prey more effectively than ordinary toxins.

But before the lava spider rushed over, Ika attacked first, and it sprayed a jet of black liquid onto the eight eyes of the lava spider.

This defensive black sap also has a rancid smell. It is usually used to avoid predators, but this time it has become a way of attack. The spider felt very uncomfortable being sprayed by the sap. It desperately wiped its eyes with its forelimbs. , Seeing this opportunity, Ika immediately crawled over, holding up the sharp piece of stone that he had been holding, and slammed into the spider's head.

It seemed to be pierced right into the brain, and the spider didn't move anymore, but the jet of ink made Ika more dehydrated. It had to find a water source quickly, and at the same time, it also found a way for its companions to climb up.

Ika cut off the spider's legs with stone flakes, because he saw that spiders can run fast on smooth stone walls, so he immediately thought of using the spider's legs, and threw the severed legs to the people below. Companion, now Ika's companion can use this leg to climb up the rock wall...

But there were only eight spider legs, and Ika's group had nine ancient squids besides itself, so they immediately made a decision to bring the weakest one to... together.

Although they often argue with each other, they are unexpectedly united at critical times.

Using spider legs, it was easy for them to climb up. The ancient squids quickly climbed over the rock and came to the other side. At this time, water finally appeared in front of them!

But before the puddle, there was a young salamander with a length of 20 centimeters lying in front of the puddle.

'Snapped! ’ Ika stuffed the flake of stone into the blowhole and squirted it out at the salamander.

The flake of stone pierced the salamander's head, and while it wasn't a one-hit kill this time, it was enough to make the salamander escape.

Nothing can stop Ika anymore! Although the puddle it found next was smaller than the previous one. (to be continued...)
