Chapter 554 How come there is a natural enemy?

"Although they didn't fall under the roots and be absorbed, they have now fallen back to the starting point. All previous efforts have been wasted. They deserve it!" Meng Shutong couldn't help but mock them.

"Let's go. Don't pay attention to these little idiots." Gu Linyuan said, "The most important thing is to save our own lives and leave here."

So, the three of them used the last bit of acceleration to continue climbing quickly, just enough for them to climb to a position almost close to the second branch.

"It seems that it is more efficient to eat the fruit on the branches. Otherwise, if we just climb up the trunk at this speed, although the distance is short, the speed is also slow, and we will get tired after climbing for a long time. It is much more comfortable to eat the red fruit, and we will have extra energy." Ye Linglong said.

"Okay then, this time we continue to go towards the branch, eat it and then climb up together. It will be more efficient if three of us walk together." Gu Linyuan said.

"Okay! We will definitely climb to the top of the tree and get out of this damn place!" Meng Shutong said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go, go!"

Then, the three caterpillars formed a straight line and quickly climbed to the second branch. Their momentum was overwhelming and no one could match them.

After some effort, they finally climbed to the end of the trunk, where there were fewer fruits than at the bottom.

"We only ate one before, so what will happen if we eat two?" Ye Linglong asked, "Should we try it?"

"No." Gu Linyuan objected directly: "I saw the consequences of eating two. A bug ate one and greedily bit the next one. Then the whole bug lost control and flipped over."

"That would be such a shame. I come here with great difficulty, but I can only eat one at a time. I have to come here again every time." Meng Shutong sighed.

"This should be the rule of this tree. This is the rule and there is nothing we can do about it." said Gu Linyuan.

When Ye Linglong heard the word "rules", his eyes suddenly lit up.

Where there are rules, there are loopholes. As long as you work hard enough, you can find them!

"I have a plan."

Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan quickly turned around and looked at her.

"If we can't eat both at once, then we shouldn't eat them. Can't we just finish one and move the other one away?"

"My hands can't reach it."

"You don't have to use your mouth because your hands are not enough. Don't animals and insects use their mouths to pick up things?"

"Yes!"

"But there is a problem here. If we hold a fruit in our mouths, our vision will be blocked."

"It's not a big problem. Two insects are carrying the fruit in the back, and one insect is clearing the way in the front. This way, after the speed is reduced, the three of us can share the two fruits equally and continue to rush up a distance, saving the time of going to the branches. This way, the speed is directly doubled, and the risk is also reduced by half."

After Ye Linglong finished speaking, Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The little junior sister's brain is really sharp!

They acted as soon as they said it. Ye Linglong led the way in front, while Gu Linyuan and Meng Shutong followed behind, picking up fruits.

As they rushed forward, Ye Linglong kept giving them sound prompts to help them identify their directions. If they encountered any monsters blocking the way, Ye Linglong would eliminate them.

At this moment Ye Linglong also discovered that they were basically the last group to enter this place.

Before them, many monsters had been captured and used as insects, so there were quite a few monsters ahead of them.

So, they rushed all the way and quickly left the second branch and returned to the trunk to climb up. When they were about to climb to the third branch, the acceleration effect disappeared. The three of them shared two fruits and regained the acceleration, and quickly rushed forward for a distance.

After passing the third branch and rushing to the fourth branch, they turned and rushed into the fourth branch, looking for fruit at the end of the branch to eat.

I don’t know if it’s because I reached the fourth branch all of a sudden, but the height here is much higher than before, the light is much brighter than below, and the view has become very open.

When they looked down, they saw that the insect-eating roots had grown to the level of the first branches.

When they looked up, they could vaguely see the sunlight blocked by the leaves, which meant that they could basically see the tops of the trees and could see that they were getting closer.

Now the three of them were immediately filled with confidence.

There were still other bugs on the fourth branch, but not as many.

With their hard work, they quickly climbed to the top of the branch and saw the red fruits growing on it.

Ye Linglong climbed to one of the red fruits and was about to take a bite when suddenly a strong wind blew and the leaf where she was standing began to shake violently. Ye Linglong was so scared that she quickly grabbed the leaf with her hands and feet to avoid being thrown off.

If you really fall down, all your efforts will be wasted!

Fortunately, the strong wind did not last long and it ended after a while.

When the strong wind stopped, she was flipped over from the top of the leaves to the bottom of the leaves, and the red fruit she was about to eat was hidden under the leaves.

So she hid under the red fruit and started to eat it with a crunch. She felt refreshed and in a good mood after eating it.

As she was eating, she suddenly heard a huge noise coming from the front, and the whole branch shook.

She curiously stuck her head out to look outside. She was shocked when she saw what she saw.

She saw a pair of huge claws falling not far in front of her, and then the next second, a long and sharp bird's beak fell from above and accurately ate a bug that was eating red fruit.

!!!

No, how can there be a natural enemy?

Are we going to let the insects live? They have to crawl so hard, not only do they have to survive, but they also have to avoid natural enemies.

Wait.

Ye Linglong was stunned for a moment. He looked at the uneaten red fruit being eaten by the big bird, and then looked at the uneaten fruit in front of him.

She was so frightened that she quickly opened her mouth wide and swallowed the rest of the fruit in one gulp. Her mouth was bulging and she would have to spit out any more if she had eaten any more.

After eating, she even licked all the juice from the corners of her mouth, for fear that any residue would be smelled by the big bird.

It goes without saying that it is attracted by the smell of fruit, or to be more precise, the smell of juice.

Because when this red fruit is bitten open, the aroma of the flesh and juice will spread out.

Therefore, the big bird pecked at no other place than the insect that was eating the fruit.

The big bird was still here, and Ye Linglong didn't dare to act rashly. She looked around and found that Meng Shutong and Gu Linyuan were also hiding under the leaves and had not come out.

They watched in tacit understanding as the big bird stood on the branch and pecked at insects. After pecking all the fruit-eating insects, it flew away.

As soon as it left, the branches felt lighter and began to sway up and down again, shaking off several insects hiding under the leaves.

Being a bug is really miserable. Your life can be lost easily.
