The Caveman Made Me Awesome

The crystal curtain is in the shape of a transparent ribbon, hanging straight down from the high cave ceiling. There are little blue fluorescent lights on the curtain, as if decorated with blue crystal beads, which is extremely delicate.

There are also countless blue fluorescent lights on the top of the cave, like bright stars all over the sky, and they are also shining brightly.

The whole cave is dreamy and beautiful, like a starry cave that only appears in a dream.

However, a few people took a closer look and found that these fluorescent lights were all emitted from worms. These worms were white and fat, with fat buttocks, and their tails shone like fireflies. They were attached to the cave wall one by one, densely packed all over the cave roof, there were tens of thousands of them.

The scene is terrifying enough to make people who are afraid of bugs faint immediately.

Ye Xi approached the "Crystal Curtain".

Turns out these beautiful cave curtains are full of clear slime.

He looked up at the fluorescent worms on the top of the cave thoughtfully, and said, "These transparent fluorescent threads are all secreted by the worms. They use the fluorescent light to lure the insects to come, and then use the mucus to stick to their prey."

"What a cunning and smart bug!"

As he said that, relying on the cloud jellyfish in his body, he reached out and touched a stick of mucus. The slimy tentacles are so sticky, like superglue, that the thumb and index finger stick immediately.

Ye Xi originally thought that the stickiness of mucus should be similar to that of spider silk, but he didn't expect it to be so sticky, and he was slightly horrified.

Fearing that the two fingers would stick together completely after the mucus dried, he immediately wiped off the mucus with brute force, until his finger turned red.

Qiu Ya pointed to a few crystal curtains next to him and said, "Look, there are really a lot of bug corpses stuck here!"

I saw many small worms sticking to the bright transparent mucus ribbons. There were fat fluorescent worms slowly crawling down the mucus from the roof of the cave, sending these prey to the door slowly. In the entrance.

Dong Muying said, "It looks pretty from a distance, but it's really disgusting when you look up close."

Katydade Feather was fascinated, and sighed: "How can you say they are disgusting, I have never seen such a smart insect, nor have I seen such a strange way of preying..."

"Look at how fat they eat one by one!"

talking and talking

He couldn't help but step closer.

Ye Xi reminded: "Be careful, don't get too close, there is also mucus on the ground."

There was also a lot of mucus on the ground, and there were many hideous insect corpses stuck to it. In the distance, there was even a giant centipede corpse with a strange shape and a length of two meters. It must have gone through a fierce struggle before death.

Katyu Yu was reminded by Ye Xi to calm down a bit: "Yes, Mr. Xi Wu."

Carefully avoiding the slime on the ground, he took out a special insect-catching stone jar and wooden clips from the animal skin bag he carried with him, put a fluorescent worm into the stone jar, and studied it carefully.

"The bug doesn't seem to be poisonous."

In order to prove it, he simply grabbed it with his bare hands.

Qiu Ya murmured secretly: "Isn't this also getting started..."

Katayu ignored him, staring up and down at the fluorescent worm carefully with a pair of eyes.

The poor fluorescent worms have been multiplying in this dark cave for an unknown number of years. They have never had any natural enemies and have always been predators. They have been caught and rubbed wantonly in their hands.

The fluorescent worm writhed its plump body and struggled hard, but its weak strength was no different to a warrior shaking a tree. Finally, the annoyed worm opened its teeth and bit his finger.

Katydid Feather felt a little pain, so he pinched its limp head.

Immediately, the fluorescent worm had nothing to do with him.

Kuka Yu concluded: "Apart from being non-toxic, well... the attack power is not high, almost none."

Dongmuying: "So, as long as we're careful not to get stuck with the slime, we're not in any danger?"

Katydade Feather: "It's almost like that."

Dong Muying touched his chin and muttered to himself: "But we have to clean up the worms in this cave. If we don't get close...or we should cut down some trees and use the trees to get rid of all these slime threads..."

Ye Xi shook his head: "It's enough to clean up part of it. There are too many bugs outside, and the willow tree will not grow up for a while. These slime threads are our best protective barrier."

These mucus are extremely viscous, even if there are ominous beasts with no eyes, they will probably all be caught, and then slowly eaten by fluorescent worms.

"Yes, Master Xiwu!"

The three of them respectfully responded, and immediately turned around and went out to organize people to come in and clean up the mucus threads.

The soldiers rolled up their sleeves and chopped down the trees outside, split them into wooden strips, and then used the wooden strips to roll up the slime threads hanging in mid-air. Or against the animal skin, wipe off the mucus stored on the ground for years.

The fluorescent worms in the dark cave were hit hard, and quite a few of them were caught by the soldiers and thrown into baskets woven with rattan.

They plan to collect the mucus they secrete in the future and use it instead of gum, which can be used to glue stoneware and clay pots in the future.

After a whole afternoon, everyone finally cleaned up the mucus on both sides of the cave.

It turns out that there are no fluorescent worms in the depths of the cave, and the inside is dry, clean and ventilated, making it very suitable for living.

evening.

The warriors who went out to hunt came back with their prey.

Everyone got busy again, setting up stoves at the entrance of the cave, piles of dead branches, and preparing to light a fire for barbecue. Only the peeling tribe squatted on the ground to skin the prey.

At this moment, the little skinning experts of the skinning tribe felt that they had encountered an unprecedented challenge.

They found that it might be to resist the bite of poisonous insects. The animals here, including dinosaurs, have very thick skins, and it takes a lot of effort to peel them off.

After all the extra thick skin was peeled off, the meat of the prey seemed to be reduced by a small half.

"boom!"

Black Thorn threw the heavy dinosaur skin aside with his bloody right hand, looking at the dark fleshy face on the ground.

"No wonder it takes so much effort to chop with a knife when hunting! The skins of these prey are so thick that they can't even be made into animal skin clothes! What a waste..."

Kite Feather laughed and said, "You can put it in the cave!"

The single-leaf chick nodded like pecking rice: "Yes, how comfortable it is to sleep on such a thick leather pad!"

Black Thorn couldn't help but give them both a blank look.

After coming here, other fighters are trying to adapt, and only the Ye tribe and Zhe tribe are particularly happy.

The people of the Ye Tribe are happily identifying all kinds of carnivorous plants, wishing to take them all back, while the people of the Zhe Tribe are busy collecting all kinds of poisonous insects, and wishing to put them all in stone jars and take them back.

People from both tribes feel that this is a treasure land.

Blackthorn didn't want to get entangled with them, and after the meat was divided, he urged them to skewer the meat on the branches together, and then grilled the meat.

"Crackling!"

The twigs with extremely high moisture were burning fiercely and moaning loudly.

Thick white smoke billowed from the entrance of the cave, and the smell of smoke and barbecue was intertwined and scattered with the wind.
