However, when the large black shadow appeared in the western sky, Law and the others were looking at the blood trees around them. Therefore, as soon as they looked up, they noticed the black shadow.
It was dark, like a dark cloud pushed by the wind. Although it was still far away, Law and Biscay still judged that the large black shadow was a group of flying creatures, like a swarm of locusts.
The flying creatures that could not be seen clearly came very fast. Then, Law noticed that the flying creatures left a black line along the way, straight to the blood trees on the ground.
There was no sand on the bare ground, only rocks and a kind of tree.
This tree was called the Dragon Blood Tree. It was rooted on the rocks and had no water to live on. It often used its roots to secrete a kind of essence to attract prey, causing underground creatures to dig up the ground and deliver themselves to the door.
The essence could attract many underground creatures, but cockroaches were unwilling to come into contact with the Dragon Blood Tree, probably because they hated the smell.
Law did not get much information from the White Smoke Font. After all, the White Smoke Font was not omnipotent, so the scene of the resin condensed into a solid pile towering above the canopy surprised him.
Then, there was an even more surprising scene.
As the large black shadow got closer and closer, they finally saw its face and saw that the flying creatures were coming for the Dragon Blood Tree.
The flying object was a gigantic dragonfly the size of a helicopter. It had two huge green eyes on top of its head, and its body was as straight as a slender sniper rifle bullet. It had no feet and two pairs of wings. Its slender tail actually had a mouthpart.
The giant dragonflies separated from the formation used their slender mouthparts at the translucent fruit condensed from the resin of the Dragon Blood Tree. Like sucking on jelly, they absorbed it in an instant.
There were too many dragonflies. When they pierced the resin fruit, it was as if they were fighting for food. Large pieces of leaves were shaved off, and some smaller Dragon Blood Trees were even shaved bald.
The Dragon Blood Tree where Law was located was on the edge of the red land, closest to the coastline, so it was the last place the dragonflies would take care of. There was enough time to think about how to deal with it.
Just now, Law and Biscay were guessing that humans might live in trees to avoid the threat of various creatures, but the sudden appearance of a large number of dragonflies ruthlessly overturned their guess.
With the threat of the dragonflies, it was basically impossible for humans to live on trees. So, where did the footprints come from?
Unfortunately, without the aid of instruments and knowledge, it was difficult to determine when the footprints on the resin were made.
There was no time to think about that. The swarm of dragonflies would most likely arrive at the Dragon Blood Tree they were on in less than ten seconds.
"Get down the tree."
Law hurriedly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the resin footprints. Then he grabbed the numb Dongba and jumped to the bottom of the tree.
Biscay followed closely, but she didn't jump as freely as Law. When she jumped down, she pressed one hand on the trunk to reduce the impact of the fall.
The three of them landed safely. At this time, the swarm of dragonflies had already reached the Dragon Blood Tree beside them. With a rustling sound, a large number of leaves fell from the sky.
The bodies of the dragonflies flying around, as well as a large number of leaves, formed shadows, covering the faces of several people.
The silver radiance was as cold as frost. Unknowingly, the temperature dropped.
Dongba shuddered and looked at the flat bare ground with no cover. She said bitterly, "Where are we going to hide?"
As soon as his voice fell, several dragonflies hooked their tails and swooped down towards them from the sky.
The dragonflies seemed to be only interested in the resin fruit. The reason why they rushed to Law was that they were stained with the unique smell of the resin.
After a few dragonflies moved, more dragonflies joined in. It looked like dozens of people were grabbing a few grains of rice. It was very exaggerated.
Law's face changed, but he heard Biscay calmly say: "We can only hide in the ground, through the tunnel where the cockroaches crawled out."
It can be imagined that there must be cockroaches under the ground, but the number of dragonflies in the air is immeasurable. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are wolves in front and tigers behind.
Therefore, if they have to choose, they naturally choose wolves, which will be easier to deal with.
"Let's go."
Hearing Biscay's words, Law did not hesitate. He grabbed Dongba with one hand and rushed to the nearest hole with Biscay.
Dongba was held in Law's hand. He hated this feeling at first, but he was held by Law to avoid so many fatal dangers. Instead, he thought that Law might as well hold him all the time.
In this way, although the experience is bad, the survival rate is greatly improved.
The hole where the cockroaches come out can allow humans to enter easily, and the number of holes is actually not many. Fortunately, it is not far away.
In just five seconds, the group rushed into the tunnel. Luo took the opportunity to control the flat rock to cover the entrance of the tunnel.
Many dragonflies came, and the mouthparts at the end of the tail pierced the rock. Because there were too many dragonflies on the ground, they piled up together and suddenly lost control and fell to the ground.
In the tunnel, when the rock blocked the hole, the surroundings fell into darkness for a moment, but the next moment, a faint green light from Bruna's body lit up.
Law was about to take out a flashlight from the Black Cat space and saw that the flat rock that sealed the hole was pierced by several sharp needle holes, and it was half a meter longer.
Then, there was a rumbling sound on the ground, and the rock that sealed the hole was suddenly lifted up. The moonlight just got into the tunnel, and a black shadow pressed on the hole, and there was a sound of breaking air in the dark space.
It was the sound of the tail needle piercing the air, and it was very frequent. It was the tail of the dragonfly shaking.
Law frowned, retreated with Biscay, and took out a flashlight, and saw the dragonfly holding the tail needle and stabbing wildly into the tunnel.
Although there is luminescent algae, the tunnel is one-way, and if you use luminescent algae, you have to continuously input Telekinesis, so it is better to use a flashlight here.
After observing for a moment and confirming that the dragonfly could not enter the tunnel, Law had time to check the tunnel.
The cockroaches that were swallowed by the black mud before drilled to the ground from this tunnel.
Law stroked the slightly smooth rock wall, the arthropods of the cockroaches appeared in his mind, and he secretly estimated the diameter of the tunnel, which did not feel like it was dug by cockroaches.
Biscay also has this doubt. The tunnel is circular, with neat and smooth edges, as if it was dug with a large human drilling machine.
"Do you want to go down and see?"
Biscay took a flashlight and shone it down the tunnel. The end of the light was the rock wall. Because the tunnel was not straight, it became twisted after a few dozen meters.
If the cockroaches reached the ground along this tunnel, then the end of the tunnel is likely to be the cockroach's nest.
Whether to wait for the dragonfly to suck the resin fruit and leave, or to go deep into the tunnel, may need to be considered.
However, Law did not hesitate and said, "Go."
What is at the end of the tunnel, no one knows before going, maybe there will be an amazing number of cockroaches.
