Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 871
Now Xiu's position is on the mountainside, and he can see quite a large area when he looks out. Originally, Xiu thought that the number of Ba Da Die would be much less after being robbed by those little elves, but when Ba Da Die flew out of the mountain forest, Xiu was a little shocked when there were more and more butterflies.

This number is too scary!
It was only then that Xiu realized that the scene just now took place was not limited to his side, but the entire mountain, or even further, to the mountains.

But Xiu could no longer see further away, because his sight was covered by those butterflies flying up.

They are constantly gathering together, and then flying in groups in the sky.

The entire sky has been occupied by Ba Dadie, at least there is nothing more to see except this.

The situation of enveloping the world lasted for about half an hour, and then Xiu saw the big butterflies slowly spread out, and then disappeared into the mountains.

Xiu, who was almost completely watching the ceremony, also gradually recovered from that scene.

He didn't expect Ba Dadie to evolve collectively, and this kind of scene is so spectacular.

Originally, he had no interest in this thing, but the scene just now gave him a different feeling.

Sure enough, life is full of miracles!

It's just that when Xiu turned his eyes away from the sky, he discovered some interesting phenomena.

It was the armored chrysalis that was still hanging, but the difference was that its body was covered with cracks, and at the same time, some dark green juice oozed out of it, pulled out a long thread, and then dripped to the ground.

Xiu approached the past and observed carefully, and found that there were still signs of life, but they were already very weak, and they were still rapidly declining.

After confirming that it was basically hopeless, Xiu used his super power to scan the matter inside the broken carapace.

It was a mass of minced meat and blood stains, and it was more of a sticky jelly.

This immediately attracted his attention, and he observed it silently for a moment until it died completely, and the substance under the carapace basically dropped to the ground.

Xiu carefully collected some, looking at the slightly disgusting viscous liquid in the container in his hand, he already had some ideas, but this still needs more in-depth research.

Turning around and taking a glance, there are not a few armored chrysalis that have failed in evolution. It seems that evolution is not always successful, and the price of failure is very heavy~
And~
Xiu squatted down and used his super power to tease the little Lada lying on the ground. Now it was covered with a layer of gray scale powder. Although there were still signs of life, it was more just adding to the pain.

Dead.

The superpower was withdrawn, and Xiu directly gave its evaluation.

Xiu didn't stay too long, after packing up his things, he headed towards the target direction.

It's just that he seldom paid attention to the green caterpillar, armored chrysalis and Ba Dadie along the way.

…………

"That's it~"

Xiu wrote the last word and closed the notebook.

During this period of time, he made in-depth observation and research on the situation of the armored chrysalis, inspecting hundreds of armored chrysalis along the way, and also followed Ba Dadie.

After collecting all the data, it is possible to understand why they have this habit.

The reason is still in the [Survival Strategy] issue.

The green caterpillar is basically the backup food for most elves, but after evolving into an iron shell chrysalis, it has a certain degree of defense, which can reduce the interest of most predators in it.

It's not because the carapace is so strong that no elf can break it, but even if it is broken and eaten, the loss outweighs the gain.

Because the energy you may replenish after eating it is not as much as the energy consumed by breaking the carapace.

All elves are there to survive, and they know that very well.

Of course, there will be some elves who are full and supportive will take unusual paths, but this is not within the scope of the study.

So simply speaking, it is when the green caterpillar desperately eats and relies on the same kind to fight for the capital to continue to survive.

But after evolution, he still hasn't got rid of his embarrassing identity, so he can only continue to hibernate in the tree and wait for the opportunity.

And this brings us to the scene that Xiu saw before, their evolution is not the conventional evolution that accumulates enough energy or satisfies certain special conditions.

Instead, wait, even if they already have the capital of evolution, they will still be dormant on the tree.

What they are waiting for is nothing else, but waiting for more green caterpillars around to evolve into iron-clad pupae, and then waiting for more iron-clad pupae to complete the transformation and step into the ranks of evolution.

Waiting for this opportunity, some armored chrysalis will even remain motionless for several months until there are enough companions in an area around them.

At this time, they will be ready to evolve, but there is usually a second-class condition before that, that is, the surrounding environment should be relatively safe.

And it was obvious that after the heavy rain before, it was a very suitable time. After all, most of the elves were hiding from the rain, and the density of predators was much lower.

Of course, this condition is not necessary, if there is no other way, they will take the risk to evolve.

And it was indeed Xiu's appearance that alarmed them that day, making them mistakenly think that the elf who had taken refuge had returned, and that's when the evolution began.

And the evolutionary conditions they had prepared for so long were soon used in the subsequent evolutionary process.

The reason is that the evolution of the armored chrysalis needs to actively break open the carapace, and when there are cracks in their carapace, it will attract countless predators who want to take a share.

This time they don't need to waste energy, they just need to eat the meat inside along the gap.

You must know that the iron armor pupa is not protected by the big needle bee like the iron shell pupa, so they can only face those little elves.

The [Survival Strategy] from the period of the green caterpillar is activated, using the lives of companions to gain time for evolution.

It's a bit tragic to say, which is why they wait for their companions to evolve collectively.

However, it is obvious that the overwhelming scene of Naba butterflies that Xiu saw at that time can be regarded as an indirect indication that this is really useful.

And when the first one evolves to become Ba Dadie, it will release scale powder to disperse those elves and provide protection for subsequent companions.

That's why Xiu saw that the hatched Butterflies didn't leave immediately, but hovered around, and spent precious energy splashing scale powder.

Soon the second and third ones also repeated the behavior of the first one, spreading the powdered scales until there were enough of them to cover the entire area.

Generally, most of the predators who have experienced this scene will retreat, after all, if they are recruited, they will probably become food for other hunters.

As for those who are greedy and unrestrained, they can only wait for death under the scales.
