When the thick smoke dissipated slightly, Du Jiujiu saw the monster's appearance clearly. It had a snake-like body, all pink, and covered with ring-shaped segments. It looked more like an earthworm magnified countless times.

"This... this should be an earthworm!" Before Du Jiujiu finished speaking, the monster swung its body and hit Xiaowen and Guoguo who were nearest.

"Get away!" Du Jiujiu saw that the situation was not good, and rushed over in a few steps. He picked up the long knife and jumped up, slashing at the earthworm's upright head.

The blade of the long knife was very sharp. With the blessing of Du Jiujiu's power, it effortlessly cut the earthworm into two pieces. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. After a moment, blood suddenly burst out from the wound, and the severed head moved toward Xiaowen.

He and Guoguo fell straight down from where they were standing.

The two of them were already unable to dodge. When Du Jiujiu saw this, he kicked his calf hard and jumped up to a height of five meters. He turned around and performed a roundhouse kick, kicking them away from the position of the two of them. They landed heavily on the ground, causing a huge explosion.

dust.

Just when Du Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief, the remaining half of the body of the earthworm behind him began to squirm violently. The blood at the broken part stopped flowing, and another head grew out of it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Jiujiu, be careful in its mouth!" Xiaowen felt the energy fluctuations and was the first to react and shouted to Du Jiujiu.

Hearing this, Du Jiujiu rushed to the side. In the blink of an eye, where it had just been standing, a large pit was corroded by the mucus ejected by the earthworms.

Du Jiujiu was about to turn around and attack when he saw a fireball the size of a basin shot towards the earthworm's newly grown head. The earthworm was severely hit by the fireball, and there was a burnt mark on its huge body.

The pain caused it to roll on the ground.

"Jiujiu, let me help you!" Hu Xiaoyun stood not far behind Earthworm, with another fireball gathering in his hand.

At this time, the tumbling earthworm seemed to understand that its pain was caused by the human holding the fireball in its hand, and twisted its thick body and patted Hu Xiaoyun.

"Sister Xiaoyun!" Du Jiujiu rushed towards Hu Xiaoyun in panic, but the distance between them was much farther than the distance between Earthworm and Hu Xiaoyun.

In desperation, Du Jiujiu threw out the long knife in his hand. The long knife was like a bullet, fiercely inserted into the earthworm's body. Unfortunately, this attack did not successfully stop its progress. In a moment,

After a pause, the pain caused the earthworm to twist even more violently.

Just when the tail of the giant earthworm was about to hit Hu Xiaoyun, a long iron whip flew from the air and locked the earthworm tightly. Then, with a flash of silver light, the iron chain became thin again.

The iron blade contracted hard, and the raised tail of the earthworm was crushed into pieces.

Hu Xiaoyun also recovered from the panic at this time, and threw the charged fireball in his hand towards the earthworm's body. The fireball exploded instantly when it touched the target, and the huge impact blew it into bloody pieces.

This moment was enough for Du Jiujiu to rush over. She jumped up, pulled out the long knife embedded in the earthworm's flesh, and swung it hard. The sharp blade broke it open in the middle, and blood splashed all over her body.

Just when Du Jiujiu fell to the ground and thought the battle was over, Xiaowen's exclamation sounded again.

"That earthworm is not dead yet!"

"What?!" Du Jiujiu was startled. She turned around and saw that the section of the earthworm's body she had chopped off at the beginning grew its head again as the pink flesh at the cut squirmed and attacked her.

It was because of her carelessness that several scenes flashed through Du Jiujiu's mind. As a child, she was naughty and cut an earthworm into two pieces with a knife, but each piece survived.

Her father told her that earthworms have a strong ability to grow. After being cut into two pieces, the muscles on the incision will contract while generating new cells, and then the wound will heal. And the tissue cells of the organs, systems, etc. in the body will

, will multiply and grow rapidly, turning into two earthworms.

The obviously evolved earthworm in front of him not only changed its body shape, but its regeneration ability was also enhanced many times. While dodging the attack, Du Jiujiu rushed to the earthworm and jumped up, waving a long knife and struck it from the middle.

Break open.

Seeing that the earthworm was motionless, Du Jiujiu was still worried and went up to touch it a few more times. It wasn't until Xiaowen confirmed that it had no signs of life that she stopped.

"What a bad start." Du Jiujiu wiped the blood on her forehead and said with a wry smile.

"Alas...it seems I won't be able to eat any meat today." Guoguo drooped her head in disappointment, but she no longer persisted.

"Who said you can't eat it?" An Cheng raised his lips and pointed at a pile of broken earthworms in front of him.

"You...you won't let us eat earthworms!" Hu Xiaoyun looked at the pieces of meat here and couldn't help but look a little pale.

"Sister An Cheng, we still have enough food for the time being!" Guo Guo also had a look of horror on her face.

"Earthworms are indeed high-protein, high-quality meat, but I don't intend to let you eat them." An Cheng was amused by their reactions.

"Have you ever seen bird hunting? The kind that uses traps must have bait."

"You mean, use this earthworm as bait to attract sparrows? But we don't have a cage either." Guoguo was still a little confused.

"We have An Cheng's superpower, so why do we need a cage?" Du Jiujiu understood An Cheng's idea at this time and felt it was worth a try.

With the concerted efforts of several people, of course the main labor force was Du Jiujiu, they gathered the broken pieces of earthworms together. An Cheng used his superpower to turn his weapon into a slender wire, holding one end in his hand and wrapping the other end

On the piece of meat.

Then they picked some huge leaves and hid their bodies inside, while Xiaowen observed the surrounding situation through her powers.

When Du Jiujiu was fighting, he felt that there were many pairs of eyes in the woods staring at this place greedily, but probably because of their instinct to face danger, they did not dare to approach.

But now they were hiding, and the mutated earthworm was chopped into pieces. The predators in the woods gradually couldn't resist the temptation brought to them by the flesh and blood of the mutated earthworm, and they boldly ran out one after another.

Even if these simple-minded lower creatures have evolved, they are still no match for the humans who once dominated the world with their wisdom. Driven by immediate interests, they have all exposed their true nature.

The first ones to be attracted were some unknown bugs, which started biting each other after failing to divide their territory. The flies that came after them tore off a few pieces of meat and flew away. Finally, they flew away.

What came over was an ant the size of a palm. After discovering the food, he did not come forward immediately. Instead, he turned back to the woods, probably to call his companions.
