Chapter 241: What Has Become of Cats?
Grandma Qin Xu has never seen this strange kitten shake so violently during the time she has raised it.
When Qin Xu handed it over to his grandmother, he had been vaccinated in advance and told him what made this cat different.
Probably after getting old, I feel that my life is very transparent every day, and Qin Xu's grandmother and grandfather's attitude towards this strange little kitten is very natural and peaceful.
If you were younger, you would probably think of it as a demon cat.
Although it is never called.
Although most of its movements, except when eating, only tilt its head.
Even though it eats strange things.
Although Qin Xu told himself that it was not a living creature
But Qin Xu's grandparents and grandmothers were still happy to feed it.
Grandma Qin Xu also told Grandpa Qin Xu that for an old man like them with inconvenient legs, normal cats are too troublesome, they don't really love cats, and don't adopt cats at their age.
Grandma Qin Xu saw that the meat on the fat cat's body was shaking violently, and she asked worriedly, "Sun Sun, is this okay, isn't it because of the bad stomach?"
"It's fine. Qin Xu reassured his grandmother, and then squatted down to stare at the termite nest cat.
Qin Xu remembered that when this "cat" first appeared, although it had a big round face, its smooth, soft and fluffy cat hair and well-proportioned physique made it look particularly beautiful.
And now, the "cat", which is three times longer than when it first appeared, is as fat as a ball, and when it shakes, the silver-gray fur on its whole body explodes, like an enraged pufferfish.
Qin Xu thought of a possibility and asked Old Master Qin silently.
"Old Master Qin, is it going to split out a new termite queen?" Qin Xu remembered that in the information on the Internet, it was mentioned that termites sometimes have multiple kings and multiple ants.
In Qin Xu's room, there were also two small ordinary termite queens found by Old Master Qin. They seem to have remained dormant all the time because of some means of Old Master Qin.
Old Master Qin sat on Qin Xu's shoulder, dangling his legs, thinking about the architectural model that had been sent to the Qin family.
Hearing Qin Xu's question, Old Master Qin glanced at the "cat" that was shaken into a sieve, and said, "Whether there are any new alienated termite queens, I can't see it yet, but, judging by its reaction, it should be that the ant nest originally built is not enough, and it needs to grow up." ”
"Grow up?" Qin Xu imagined that this cat had become taller, bigger, and more shapely, from a normal fat cat to a "giant cat", and hurriedly asked, "Old Master Qin, how big can it grow?
Thinking about the small yard of his house, there was a cat the size of a big scalper, Qin Xu felt quite weird.
Old Master Qin didn't answer Qin Xu's question directly, but pointed to the cat that was shaking more and more, and said, "It's about to replace its old shell, are you sure it's okay for your grandmother to see it?"
"Eh," Qin Xu immediately said to the grandmother with a puzzled face, "Grandma, it's a little bit of a situation, I'll take it back to the room first, and then take it down later." ”
After speaking, Qin Xu picked up the heavy "cat" ant nest that seemed to be energized, and ran back to his room with a smoke.
Grandma Qin Xu pursed her mouth without braces, muttering wondering what was going on.
Although this cat is not as spiritual as ordinary cats, watching it grow fatter and fatter, Grandma Qin Xu is still a little worried and worried.
After Qin Xu hugged the ant nest "cat" to the room, he found that its hand was not quite right.
Originally, when I held it, the touch was not much different from that of an ordinary cat, but when I held it just now, I felt that its fur seemed to become a piece of clothing and loosened.
Qin Xu felt that the change in the ant nest did not seem to happen immediately, so he simply studied the information given to him by Old Master Qin, while nibbling on the devil pepper he carried with him, and looked at the alienated termite nest that kept shaking at a uniform speed from time to time.
After about half an hour, the shaking speed of the silver-gray "fat cat" gradually slowed down.
Qin Xu felt that it seemed that it was the critical time for the ant nest to grow, and immediately focused his attention on it.
It's like a drum washing machine is drying to the end, and the fat cat slowly ends shaking and calms down.
"Nothing seems to have changed?" Qin Xu was very strange, he ended his cross-kneeling posture, walked over to the stationary kitten, and gently poked its head.
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, the fat cat's head tilted, and it rolled to the ground with a purr.
Qin Xu was taken aback.
This effect, if you spray a little blood, it will be too thriller-like.
Coming back from the fright of the cat's head falling off, Qin Xu simply picked up the cat's skin, pulled it without much effort, and saw the big fat cat's bright gray plush skin, which was completely ripped off in an instant.
A pair of wet and docile eyes stared at Qin Xu.
"I'll it!" Qin Xu couldn't help but blurt out when he saw the animal hiding in the cat's skin.
In the body of the fat cat, there was a golden short-haired puppy, its fluffy little head resting on its front legs, staring at Qin Xu cutely.
Qin Xu covered his head and muttered to himself: "Although I know that it is the ability to alienate termites, such a realistic style always makes me feel like a black fairy tale." ”
A fat cat turned into a dog?
Well, how is he going to explain it to his grandparents?
Old Master Qin didn't seem to notice Qin Xu's tangled mood yet, and explained happily: "It seems that the casting of the aura array is still very successful, and the alienated termite nest will undergo several transformations before it grows to the limit, do you see this little guy's retreat, is there a round ball the size of an egg?"
Qin Xu looked at the position that Old Master Qin was pointing at, and it was indeed a smooth and round ball.
"What is this?" Qin Xu felt that his imagination could not cope with the changes in the alienated termites, so he simply asked directly.
"A new queen born by an alienated queen, however, she cannot live in symbiosis with the original queen, so she can only leave the nest and open up a new colony. Master Lao Qin said, "The lifespan of ordinary termite queens is originally very long, according to the information that Lao Yu saw on the popular science website, the lifespan can be as long as several decades, and the lifespan of the alienated ant queen is only longer than that of ordinary termite queens, not shorter." So, during its lifetime, it will produce more new queens. ”
Qin Xu picked up the round "termite egg" and found that it was not completely sealed, and there was a small hole about one centimeter in diameter at the pointed end of the "termite egg".
Old Master Qin floated to the "termite egg", pointed to the small hole and said: "You can now chop the food into fine pieces and feed it through this small hole, and when this alienated termite produces enough alien ants, it will be transformed again, however, its morphological change seems to be determined by the information that the alienated ant queen has herself, and the old man doesn't know what it will become." ”
Qin Xu took away the "termite eggs", and the golden retriever puppy had no other reaction, only staring at Qin Xu with watery eyes, wagging his tail gently, as if begging for food.
"Well," Qin Xu looked left and right in the room, and found that the useless garbage in the original room had long been eaten by the alienated termites, "Okay, I think, if you become a puppy, your grandparents won't mind! They seem to have a lot of food in stock, enough for you to eat for a while." ”
As he spoke, Qin Xu picked up the golden retriever puppy and walked downstairs.
