Chapter 173: Damn, stand up!
Philus stood on the ridge, looking out over the land that had been transformed by the gods.
The originally flat grassland has turned into a basin surrounded by mountains. Only the central part retains the forests, fields and rocky hills, which is also the center where the gods created species.
Behind it was a deep and wide strait, which was filled with seawater, becoming a natural barrier that land animals could not cross. And further away was the regular area of the East Continent.
Every movement in the entire basin is under the watchful eyes of Philus.
The large number of skeleton worms became his eyes and ears, keeping an eye on every creature here at all times.
He saw two small stag beetles wrestling with each other. They started by butting their jaws against each other, then prying each other apart, and then they threw each other into a fight in frustration.
This is also the aggressive habit of the fighting stag beetle, which is normal.
A stink swallowtail butterfly flew over the heads of the fighting stag beetles. It was unclear whether it was just for fun or to watch. The stink swallowtail butterfly circled over the heads of the stag beetles, flapping its wings.
The two little shovel beetles suddenly stiffened, then immediately let go and ran into the bushes at an incredible speed.
The stink butterfly released a foul odor.
Not far away, the green swallowtail, a close relative of the stinking swallowtail, was dancing among the branches. The illusion created by the scale powder made the squirrels in the trees jump up and down, excited and mesmerized.
Under this tree, there was an adult stag beetle lying.
It was about to gnaw and suck the sap.
Two green tentacles suddenly stretched out from the bushes under the tree, grabbed the shovel beetle, and threw it over its shoulders. The shovel beetle struggled desperately with its limbs, lying on its belly, and became extremely embarrassed.
Philus touched his bony forehead with his hand.
Everything else here is normal.
If there is any problem...it's this grass.
Philus called it irritable grass.
At some point, a supernatural plant appeared in the valley. It looked ordinary, just a bunch of dense and flexible grass.
But it is an extremely ferocious creature.
Philus didn't know how to explain.
Once the Lord God sets his sights on this world, what should I say? "Lord God, an unknown extraordinary creature suddenly appeared in the valley, and it likes to beat up the stag beetles..."
Or say.
"My Lord God, I have discovered a new life form in the Upper Valley. It is a kind of grass that can curb the expansion of the fighting stag beetles..."
He has conducted careful observation and research in recent years.
There are a series of reasons and backgrounds for the birth of Grumpy Grass.
The first is the pollination of the green swallowtail and the stinking swallowtail. They go in and out of the valley, bringing in a wide variety of grass seeds from the outside world, making the vegetation in the valley more and more lush, and all kinds of strange plants emerge one after another.
Another thing is that stag beetles are aggressive. It is difficult for them to break through each other's defenses, but they have a way to lock the enemy with their jaws, lift it up, and throw it into the turbulent water of the strait.
Shovel beetles cannot fly in the water, especially in turbulent water, and are very slow to fly, so they will be preyed upon by marine creatures such as man-eating crabs in the water.
Over time, the seaward area of the valley became a death-defying zone among the stag beetles.
Apart from this way of death, there are more natural deaths, especially when they are small stag beetles, their defenses and shells are very weak, and poisonous snakes and hawks are their natural enemies.
The young of extraordinary creatures are a special delicacy for ordinary carnivores. Even if some of the hunters will die under the powerful jaws of adult fighting stag beetles, they still keep trying to poach them.
Over time, many small stag beetle remains were left on the ground.
These debris were absorbed by the grass and transformed by pollination by swallowtail butterflies, and after a series of evolutions, the irritable grass was born.
In a way, it's a bit like a grass-like shovel beetle.
In actual observation, Philus found that the irritable grass and the fighting stag beetle were like water and fire.
The Angry Grass is on the side of the plants. It will take action if a plant is bullied or its territory is invaded.
They will gather together and huddle together to form a large straw man to fight against the burly fighting shovel beetles, and they are not at all disadvantaged in strength.
In addition, because its body is made of grass, it is very flexible, which gives it an advantage against the fighting shovel beetle.
Of course, the fighting stag beetle is not the type to give in easily.
For example, right now.
Philus saw that the overturned stag beetle ran away and brought two brothers with him. It seemed that it could not bear this humiliation and wanted to win by numbers.
Three fighting stag beetles came over aggressively to seek revenge.
The irritable grasses stood up from the soil one after another, revealing their strong roots underneath, which were densely packed and more numerous.
The two sides fought, grass leaves and shells flew everywhere, and mud splashed everywhere...
Philus sighed.
That's the problem.
The irritable grass is not the traditional plant that can only hide in the soil. They can stand out and even uproot themselves from the soil to maintain mobility for a short period of time.
So more and more irritable grasses gathered together, protecting and cooperating with each other, forming a straw defense line that the fighting stag beetles could not cross.
Compared to fighting shovel beetles, grass men can entangle with each other to form strong big grass men. As long as there are enough of them, they have an advantage in strength and size.
On the bright side, the appearance of the Angry Grass made the whole valley more vibrant. The Shovel Beetle, which usually ate and slept, had to cheer up and fight with the Angry Grass for territory and gain the grass and trees.
The constant confrontation between the two groups also made both sides rapidly become stronger.
Philus prayed silently in his heart.
These beetles created by the gods are often beaten up by the irritable grass. I hope the gods won’t be angry…
Suddenly, an oracle sounded in his mind.
——What's the situation? Philus was startled and quickly knelt on the ground: "My Lord God, I have a new discovery..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
Lu Yao was holding a bowl with rice, sweet and sour pork ribs, mushroom pork shreds, and green vegetables. He had a good sleep last night and woke up at noon the next day.
His parents went out to visit relatives and left lunch in the pot for him.
So he took it out and ate it while watching the simulator.
Lu Yao ate his meal and looked at the simulator.
The skeleton man Philus is reporting on his work.
"...Because it absorbed the corpse of the fighting stag beetle and the grass seeds brought by the two types of swallowtail butterflies, a special grass-type extraordinary creature was born in the valley."
Lu Yao ate a few more mouthfuls of rice while watching.
Do one get one free?
Is there such a good thing?
"It's just that the fighting stag beetle is a little bit unable to resist this kind of grass."
"Initially, the fighting stag beetles had the upper hand, but grass-type creatures can adapt to any environment, and they can stand up from the soil... They hid temporarily and came back when their numbers were sufficient."
"Because grass-type creatures change very quickly, they become stronger with each generation."
Lu Yao stopped using the chopsticks in his hand.
Grass, stand up?
What kind of Pokémon is this? He put down the bowl, moved the mouse, and found the grass-type creature that Philosopher had mentioned.
In appearance, they look like a relatively large clump of grass, with extremely dense and curled leaves, and a darker color than ordinary grass, which reminds Lu Yao of the air plants in the flower market.
…
[Monster Grass LV8]
HP: 84/84 Mana: 1/1 Damage: 4 Defense: 4 Speed: 3 [Strong]
The health value is higher than normal, and the fighting spirit can be maintained for a longer period of time.
【social】
When they gather together, they will generate stronger combat power, and the greater the number, the greater the increase.
…
Lu Yao looked down at the valley and soon witnessed a battle between the Monster Grass and the Fighting Stag Beetle.
The two fighting stag beetles tried to uproot the enemy with their mandibles, but were surrounded on both sides by a group of powerful grass monsters. The grass monsters waved their curled grass leaves, and the brothers worked together to knock the beetles down.
A shovel beetle was knocked over by the power grass, and its weak belly was immediately beaten by the grass monsters with fists, and its limbs were tied up. Another shovel beetle quickly helped to push it back to the ground. The two shovel beetles could not do anything with the power grass, so they could only leave in disappointment.
Lu Yao ate two mouthfuls of rice with the spare ribs.
I gave you the opportunity but you are useless.
It looks intimidating, but who would have thought it would be beaten to pieces by the powerful grass.
Philus quickly added, "My Lord God, although the fighting stag beetles are defeated by the strange grass in the valley, they are still evenly matched with the Fiery Chicken in the East Continent, and they are still very strong."
Lu Yao almost choked on his food.
This is why I can’t beat the Monster Grass, so I can’t beat you?
Wait, has the fighting stag beetle finally crossed the canyon and entered the outside ecosystem?
