“This is an artificial breeding place. Has someone been breeding supernatural clams here?”

This was a very bold conjecture.

The city had clearly been burned, and it had only been three months since the big fire.

“If this is a breeding place, have those people been farming here before the fire started? Or did they migrate here only after the fire had started?”

“Does this have anything to do with the revolutionary army or the bugs mentioned in Dr. Rat’s diary?”

Luo Fan felt that everything before him was a fog. Being in the fog, he could not see anything clearly.

He could not understand anything. After his consciousness awakened, the entire world had changed.

He suddenly hesitated, “Should I continue forward?”

If he continued forward, he might encounter unknown dangers. If he did not continue forward but retreated, he might face a threat from the big snake.

“If only I were strong enough, I wouldn’t be so timid.”

He was currently in a dilemma. It was dangerous for him to move forward or retreat.

The big snake was definitely near the rat hole. If he were to go back, he would definitely be caught.

However, even if Luo Fan were not discovered by the big snake, and he followed the path in the rat hole to get out, what then? There was great smog outside, and there might be unknown dangers there.

In the end, it boiled down to Luo Fan being too weak currently.

Compared to the Rat King, the large clam, and the big fish, he was perhaps adequately strong.

Currently, he already had several hundred grams of bio-energy in his body, and he had also evolved a lot of level-3 cells.

Then, Luo Fan started to consider the way to survive.

How could he leave this place?

He paced back and forth. He hesitated and was torn inside…

As he was struggling internally, a creature suddenly appeared in the waters ahead.

Several figures had appeared on top of the waterfall where the water entered.

Originally, the area of water entry was circular, like a drainage outlet.

Water flowed out continuously and flowed into the pond-like area below.

Those mutated large clams were growing in this pond.

The pond connected to the water where Luo Fan was located, extending all the way into the swamp behind him.

At this moment, the silhouettes of the creatures had appeared at the mouth of the waters.

Immediately upon discovering the figures, Luo Fan quickly concealed himself.

His body crawled down and into the mud.

“What are these?”

He secretly observed with his eye, and the creatures slowly revealed their form.

Three humans!

“Humans!”

Luo Fan was shocked, his heart full of questions.

“Could the large clams here be cultivated by humans?”

“That’s true. Only higher creatures like humans would breed the large clams.”

“Have the people here survived the fire?”

“Why are these people breeding the large mutated clams?”

Luo Fan knew nothing about this. He did not even dare to show his head for fear of being noticed by the three of them.

He was no longer a human, but an eyeball monster.

Moreover, even if he was in human form now, he could not go and speak to the three of them rashly. Who knew if they could be doing something that could not be known to outsiders?

In Luo Fan’s eye, the three humans started to move.

They had come to a blind spot where Luo Fan could not see them clearly. Then, a device seemed to have been opened and something was being done inside.

At this moment, Luo Fan then discovered that there was also a small door-like thing there. It was almost set inside the wall and very well-concealed.

Then, for some reason, the “door” opened.

The door opened; inside was a relatively narrow passage.

Immediately, water flowed out from it, and the flow became bigger and bigger.

There were also creatures in the water. They were not very large in size, like small fish, but they were densely packed.

A person who saw this might have a trypophobic attack.

The water flowed directly into the pond below, which was where the large clams lived.

Those densely-packed small black fish also entered the pond together.

Soon, a large number of black fish-like creatures appeared in the pond.

Luo Fan observed carefully.

This was a group of small fish about ten centimeters long. They were all black in color and had larger heads. They did not have fins.

He had never seen such a strange fish before. Although it looked like a fish, it was actually more like… a tadpole!

Luo Fan’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly understood something.

Upon closer inspection, these small black fish were really elongated versions of tadpoles. The more he looked at them, the more they looked like tadpoles.

Immediately, the “black tadpoles” went berserk in the pond of large clams.

The large clams in the pond started to move. These large clams quickly launched their “heads” out of the clam shells and began to prey on the tadpoles.

Soon, countless tadpoles were swallowed by the large clams.

“So these tadpoles are food…”

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Fan understood what the source of food for these clams was.

It was these tadpoles that had been released.

If this was really a man-made breeding place, why were these supernatural clams being bred here?

Some tadpoles had rushed into the water where Luo Fan was and were scurrying around.

Suddenly, they seemed to have discovered Luo Fan.

Then, the tadpoles actually charged at Luo Fan.

It was as if they wanted to eat him.

This was a group of aggressive creatures.

However, at this moment, the group of tadpoles seemed to have been frightened by something.

A big fish swam out from among the group of clams.

The group of tadpoles fled quickly, as if they had been frightened by the big fish which was coming over.

Tadpoles were afraid of big fish, just like how mice were afraid of cats; the laws of living creatures were on full display there.

Luo Fan was a little more careful. He did not dare to let the three humans discover him. When the tadpoles swam over, he was indeed a little flustered.

Fortunately, the tadpoles were frightened and fled elsewhere.

Just as he was rejoicing, the big fish suddenly discovered Luo Fan..
