The Man Standing at the Top of the Food Chain

"Then I won't congratulate you first, your luck is really good..." Tang Cheng's words made the faces of the three people full of smiles. Although it is luck, luck is also a kind of strength, but then But Tang Cheng changed the subject, "But this time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky."

"Why?" The three of them asked in puzzlement.

Tang Cheng turned around and said as he walked. The three of them looked at each other and quickly followed behind him.

"According to your description, I think the last time you encountered the automatic harmony period of the five-dimensional space... well, you can understand this as the breathing of animals. Every once in a while, in order to maintain its own stability, the five-dimensional space , it will open the closed space, get rid of some unnecessary things, and let itself and the outside world reach a commonality and absorb more energy. During this time, the chaos coefficient of the five-dimensional space will become lower, greatly Reduce the chance of being trapped and die here, but on the other hand, the activation of the space will put pressure on the creatures with a keen sense of smell in the space, making them irritable, manic, and more aggressive, which is why you are fleeing Occasionally, it is often the reason why fierce beasts attack."

"So that's how it is." The three suddenly realized, and Tang Ya finally understood why she felt that way at the beginning. She exchanged the blood of the elves, and has a certain affinity with nature, and her sense of smell is obviously sharper than that of ordinary beasts. , can more easily perceive the danger.

"But listening to what you said, is the five-dimensional space alive?" Lin Chen frowned.

Tang Cheng turned his head and gave him a blank look, "When did you have the illusion that the five-dimensional space is a dead thing?"

"Ah?!" The three couldn't help opening their mouths, and Tang Cheng said again, "The living things in this world are not just humans, animals, and plants. Many things that are insignificant in our eyes actually have their lives. , such as stones, iron blocks, or even weapons, and the five-dimensional space is such a living space, a beast of space! Do you know why our equipment shatters as soon as we take it outside? Because its life energy is completely absorbed by the five-dimensional space. Space absorbs."

The three were dumbfounded.They thought it was just a weird and dangerous place, but they never expected that such a place was alive, which was beyond their three views.

"This seems to be different from what you said last time..." Yu Qinyi muttered in a low voice.

Tang Cheng could hear it.I also know what she wants to express, "The five-dimensional space we encountered last time was at best a cub. Although it also has life, it can't even stabilize itself, so it doesn't make sense. But the current one But it is equivalent to a fully grown beast, I don’t know if it has formed its own consciousness, but whether it has or not, it is not comparable to the one we encountered last time.”

That's it, no wonder I didn't notice it at all last time... Lin Chen and Yu Qinyi couldn't help but looked at each other, feeling stunned.

Different levels of the five-dimensional space will cause completely different phenomena. Although Yuqinyi and Lin Chen entered the five-dimensional space with Tang Cheng a long time ago, because of the level gap between the two... even Tang Cheng After staying for a day, I finally realized that this is a five-dimensional space. These few people who have no experience.You will know that there are ghosts!

"The five-dimensional space in the non-harmonious period can only enter but cannot exit, because it needs to absorb and digest the energy that flows in from the outside. Although we are not within its absorption range and there is no threat in a short period of time, as time goes by Long... hehe, anything impossible will happen anyway."

After listening to Tang Cheng's explanation, the three of them understood somewhat. Simply put, the stability of this five-dimensional space is very strong.As long as it doesn't take the initiative to attack, they won't encounter those dangers that make people rush, but the whole space is like a completely airtight room, if there is not enough power to break the room.Almost impossible to get out.

As for the consequences of not being able to get out, Tang Cheng didn't specify, and they didn't really want to know, anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.

Surprised by Tang Cheng, the three of them also became a little nervous, but Tang Ya seemed to have discovered a blind spot.Said, "Since we can't go out during the non-reconciliation period, shouldn't we just wait until it takes the initiative to reconcile?"

"That's right!" Lin Chen and Yu Qinyi's eyes suddenly brightened. Although once the five-dimensional space begins to reconcile, they will receive more attacks, but they also have the opportunity to go out, and this time not only Tang Cheng, but themselves His strength is also several times stronger, and it will definitely be easier than last time.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately asked, "When will it be reconciled next time?"

Tang Cheng smiled with a very friendly look, and then said five words that made the three of them despair, "After 1000 years."

The five-dimensional space harmonizes every 1000 years, exhales every 1000 years, and evolves every 1000 years. This is the growth law of the five-dimensional space, just like the habits of all animals.For the five-dimensional space, 1000 years is not a long time, but for those who are in danger...it is hopeless.

Although Lin Chen and the others were not frightened, their faces turned pale.Since they dared to risk their lives to come here to look for gourd seeds, it meant that they were mentally prepared to die and understood the consequences, but this situation was beyond their expectations.

Maybe they can wait until the time of the regional battle is over, and be sent back to the reincarnation space directly by the system, but whether they can survive that time here is also unknown.

If there is anything that can calm them down now, it is probably the soup.

At least Tang Cheng's tone was not flustered, although he had always been like this.

"Don't count on me too much. Even if I am in this situation, the chance of leaving safely is less than [-]%."

When Tang Cheng said this, the three of them were stunned. He, who had always boasted of being omnipotent, lost confidence at the moment. It was simply an anecdote in the world.

This time, I'm afraid it's really hard to rely on luck.

But what they didn't know was that Tang Cheng was thinking in his heart: Although I can't retreat completely, it may not be difficult to fight this five-dimensional space with my strength, and it may feel threatened even if it is not good. They can be excluded as unnecessary things, but this is the next step after all, let's see the situation first.

……

Not long after, the four of them came to a field of mushrooms and took a rest.

In fact, it is not tiring to be tired. Except for some small things that block the car with mantis arms, there is not much danger on the road. For Lin Chen and the three, it is much more relaxed than when they came here last time, even That kind of obvious danger is far less than the former juvenile five-dimensional space, but Tang Cheng's attitude towards the two is completely different, so it can be seen that the hidden danger here should be the main one.

"What are you eating?" Tang Ya suddenly saw Tang Cheng holding something bright in her hand and stuffing it into her mouth. She couldn't help being curious. Although the road ahead is boundless and the future is full of anxiety, their mood has also changed along the way. It has gradually calmed down, after all, for the challenger, danger has always been with him.

"Oh, these..." Tang Cheng lifted the food in his hand and smiled, "The claws of mantises, the tails of lizards, the feet of spiders, colorful mushrooms, and other messy things, I picked them up from the road here."

Every time Tang Cheng gave a name, Tang Ya felt her stomach throbbing violently, and she couldn't even eat the cake in her hand.

"Is this... really edible?"

"Of course you can, it's just that most people can't eat it, but if you can eat it, it's definitely much better than your food. It can avoid being assimilated, and the taste is quite good." As he said, Tang Cheng made a colorful mushroom Throw it into your mouth.

The food of Tang Ya and the others are all simple foods brought by themselves from the reincarnation space, such as pastries and chicken legs, which can be stuffed into the mouth immediately after being taken out. Otherwise, if it is canned or bowled food, once exposed to the air Inside, the container will be absorbed by the space immediately.The native food here is not inedible, but most of them are highly poisonous. Even if one or two non-toxic ones are occasionally found, they need to be cooked, and the taste cannot be guaranteed, and the most important thing is... fire, can't it be made here? stand up.

This place is all oasis, without any dead wood and grass that can be used to ignite. Even if they carry their own ignition tools, when the fire burns, it will be absorbed by the space.

One of the hidden dangers is that things of the material system and energy system cannot be exposed to the air.

"Assimilation? What is that?" Yu Qinyi asked puzzled.

Tang Cheng took out a white lizard tail and said: "Whether it is an animal or a plant, these guys are actually just ordinary creatures at the beginning, but after staying here for a long time, the characteristics of space affect them, and then produce mutations. That’s why it’s what it is now, and that’s what I call assimilation.”

"You mean..." Hearing this, the three of them suddenly changed their colors. They thought of something very scary.

Tang Cheng smiled, "That's right, if we don't pay attention, we may also become like this lizard, although it is not exactly the same, but suddenly a long tail protrudes from the buttocks, this possibility is still very high ..."

The three of them immediately subconsciously stretched out their hands and touched the back to confirm that the tail had not grown yet, feeling a little relieved.

"Then how should we pay attention?"

"It's very simple—eat!" Tang Cheng threw the lizard tail into his mouth and said while chewing, "These guys can still survive after the mutation, which shows that their bodies have gradually adapted to the environment here. They feed on them, let their energy radiate in your body, and you can get a certain immunity... This kind of effect is not comparable to the junk food in your hands."

"Of course, most of these are poisonous. Once you eat them with your physique, you will probably be poisoned to death before you gain immunity.

"..."

So you say this is useful? !

The three of them were depressed for a while. (~^~)
