The sky was as dark as dusk, covered by dust and haze, and layers of dark clouds that did not disperse.
In the dark sky, not a single trace of sunlight could be seen.
In the dark clouds, streaks of dark red lightning flashed from time to time, crisscrossing with each other and striking down from the sky in the distance.
The cracked and barren black-gray ground, undulating and rugged as it spread into the distance.
Mountain ranges stretched across the ground like huge scars, and an endless sea of grayish-black forest seemed to extend from the foot to the end of the sky.
Everything in this world seemed to have a dark color, dark and mysterious, lacking a trace of life.
A large amount of gray fog pervaded the black forest, making the whole forest seem even more strange and dangerous.
From time to time, one or two dark red bolts of lightning would flash down from the sky like venomous snakes, directly splitting some of the huge trees in half.
The big trees that were struck burned with bursts of green smoke, but it did not seem to be able to ignite. The green smoke came out for a while, then disappeared, leaving behind half of a burnt dead tree.
Looking closer, the ground was covered with all kinds of strange plants, and countless huge trees that covered the sky covered the forest. These trees were abnormally large, and each tree needed several adults to wrap their arms around it. The branches and leaves were lush, and there were hardly any gaps. Thick roots broke out from the ground, crawling on the ground like giant pythons.
At the same time, there were all kinds of thick vines and plants entangled with each other, as well as oddly shaped plants and mushrooms that were densely packed everywhere.
Occasionally, one or two strange creatures would come out from the plants, looking around with extreme vigilance, and then quickly disappear into the shadows of the plants.
These plants and creatures had adapted to the dim environment of this world, so their color was rather dark, or a grayish-white color that lacked vitality. Moreover, they had a very different growth and development mechanism.
At this moment, in a corner of the forest, a completely black "little thing" was lying motionless in a patch of thick grass that looked like palm leaves.
Its eyes flashed with a faint light, as if it was waiting for something, and it was very patient. In fact, it had been lying like this for half a day, and there was still no harvest.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the grass.
The little thing lying in the grass suddenly moved. It was very skilled, and its movements were smooth, like an underage cheetah, rushing out almost at the same time.
But …
Splat!
It fell into the quagmire beside it!
It wasn't that the ground was too slippery, but its two short legs … were numb!
The black shadow that sprang out of the grass was a small dark green lizard-like creature. When it saw the fish-lipped creature that fell into the mud, it was stunned for a moment before a sneer appeared in its eyes. Then, its figure flashed and disappeared into the jungle.
It wasn't stupid. Judging from the way this fish-lipped creature was looking at it, it obviously wanted to have dinner.
If he didn't leave now, when would he?
The little thing struggled to crawl up from the quagmire and threw itself out unwillingly, but it didn't leave its dinner behind.
It muttered something in annoyance, then got up from the ground, ignoring the mud on its body, and limped towards a certain part of the forest.
It was very careful along the way, and it seemed to have an innate sensitivity that allowed it to avoid danger. Finally, it arrived at an extremely hidden cave entrance.
This cave was under the roots of a large tree. It was surrounded by vines and all kinds of plants, so it was very difficult to discover.
It cleaned up the surrounding traces and smells, then lifted the grass and crawled along the roots into the cave.
This was its little nest, a place to shelter from the wind, rain, and danger.
It was only in this place that it could find a sense of security.
The underground space wasn't small, and there were many tunnels that led to relatively safe places. Even if one of the tunnels was discovered, it could escape from another one.
It spent a long time slowly digging out and building this little nest, and it was very satisfied with its masterpiece!
However, it was hesitating recently, and it was considering whether to move!
Because just two days ago, an uninvited guest broke into its little nest.
But what it couldn't understand was how that 'big guy' got into its little nest from such a small hole.
Even the softest creature it had ever seen couldn't squeeze its body into its little nest without leaving any traces around the hole.
And it had already checked all the holes and made sure that there were no traces of it being crushed.
So it really couldn't understand.
And the reason why it was still hesitating and didn't immediately escape or kill the 'big guy' that invaded its little nest was because the 'big guy' seemed to be dead!
It couldn't feel any life from the 'big guy', and the 'big guy' was covered in wounds and blood. In its mind, it couldn't be saved with such serious injuries, and could only be eaten.
But the 'big guy' looked very similar to it, so it couldn't eat it.
The little thing crawled into the cave through the hole. At the bottom of the cave, a black shadow was lying there with its eyes closed. There was no life on its body, as if it was dead.
The little thing squatted beside the black shadow and poked the black shadow's … butt. It muttered, "Why is the big guy's body not rotten at all? It's so big, if I push it out, it will definitely destroy the cave entrance. "
It frowned in distress and sighed deeply.
It was very cautious, but it didn't know enough. The situation in front of it was beyond its knowledge, so it couldn't make a decision.
"What if the big guy is still alive? Why don't we move away … But I've been looking for it for two days, and I still can't find a place to hide. If we leave like this, we might be eaten in the middle of the night. "Fear appeared in its eyes, as if it had thought of something terrible.
It was very hesitant and anxious. It stood up, circled the 'big guy' twice, and then kicked the 'big guy' hard.
"It's all your fault!"
As if it still wasn't satisfied, it kicked again!
Bang!
With this kick, the silent black shadow suddenly moved. It slowly opened its eyes, and a pair of black eyes flashed with a bright light.
The little thing had only seen this kind of light in the night sky.
But at this time, its heart was filled with an invisible fear, and waves of coldness emerged from the bottom of its heart.
It quietly retreated, and its back was tightly pressed against the corner of the cave, hiding its body in the shadows. Then, it slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave step by step.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as it wished. The two bright eyes accurately looked at it.
