Chapter Thirty-Six: The Beasts of Zuan...
Feng Bei slept restlessly this night.
Although he had been telling him that this place was safer and definitely suitable for rest, but deep down in his heart, he couldn't completely relax at all, no matter what, he couldn't enter a deep sleep state, and he could only take a shallow "nap", and the wind and grass in the surrounding environment, the rustling friction of the praying mantis when they worked, were vaguely reflected in his mind.
This can't be done, this state of rest can't have the recovery effect of deep sleep at all, and there are still many things to do after that, and you must return to full strength as soon as possible!
As a warrior, Feng Bei does not know how to meditate, that is the specialty of the law system and the priest department, and as a last resort, he has to use the oldest method to force himself to sleep, that is, counting sheep.
A sheep...
Two sheep...
Three sheep...
Four......
Feng Bei knows that this method does not work well, mainly because "counting sheep" does not match his native language, in essence, counting sheep is actually a psychological suggestion, because sheep and sleep pronunciation are similar, by constantly saying sleep to themselves in the heart, so as to achieve the purpose of forced sleep.
According to this logical core, combined with Feng Bei's native language, he should not count sheep, but count dumplings. But he didn't dare to do it, if he really counted it, a row of drainage dumplings crossed his mind, let alone sleeping, he was afraid that he would suddenly laugh out loud and drool, after all, it was delicious but dumplings, fun...... Hawkers!
Twenty-five sheep......
Twenty-six sheep......
Saying that he has been away from Moyi City for a whole day, and he doesn't know what the situation in the city is, Pastor Katyusha said that he can hold on for a few days, at least three or four days those paladins will be fine, but he can't really go back with the limit of four days, the demonic energy is still eroding the bodies of the paladins, if he goes back too late, even if the paladins can be saved, I'm afraid that their skills will be useless.
Forty sheep......
Forty-one sheep ......
Nina went to Fengming Mountain, can she really come back safely? There are many raptors and monsters in that place, and their temperaments are more fierce than the other, with Nina's newly-started fourth-level combat power, what if she is injured? When she comes back, he must give her a stern education, so that she can't take risks so casually anymore.
Sixty-Seven Sheep......
Sixty-eight sheep......
The more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't get into the state, counting the sheep didn't work, but the thoughts of the wind and sorrow spread in all directions, thinking aimlessly about all kinds of things that didn't matter, everything around seemed to be gradually moving away, all kinds of noise seemed to come from a distance, his spirit gradually entered an ethereal state, and fatigue left his body little by little.
Just when Feng Bei's expression gradually relaxed and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, in his mind, among the sheep that were walking slowly in a neat arrangement, a lamb suddenly jumped out and said to him with a little dissatisfaction:
"Please be serious, you've already counted me once!"
You're waking up Lao Tzu cute!
Being by this sheep like this, the wind was violently agitated, and his body twitched from beginning to end, and the original strong sleepiness dissipated in an instant, and he suddenly sobered up, and he couldn't be sober anymore!
Forcibly endured the scolding that was about to burst out of his mouth, Feng Bei reluctantly connected his vision, slowly raised his body, and kept being ruthless in his heart: Little lamb, you don't need to pretend to be cute for Lao Tzu, next time before going to bed, I will count the lamb skewers and roast you all one by one!
After entertaining himself, Feng Bei moved his muscles and bones, shook his wings, and these movements were not small, which attracted the attention of the two guards, and seeing that he was awake, the rotten pliers hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Great Lord, the digging of the bottles is going well, and the people are working hard, and by the time you are resting, seventeen have been dug up. ”
So much?
Feng Bei was a little stunned, digging out seventeen words, it means that the four groups of praying mantis have each completed four excavations, that is to say, he just thought about it, and felt that he didn't sleep for long, but in fact, nearly two hours have passed?
When I looked up, the sun was already in the west, and it was already sunset and sunset, and in another hour or two at most, the sky would be completely dark.
Hurry up! Your plan must be implemented during the day!
Thinking of this, Feng Bei hurriedly climbed to the top and shouted to the praying mantis who were about to dig up the fifth group of bottles:
"Stop, stop digging, push all your bottles in front of me, this holy envoy wants to check your results and see if you have any contribution!"
Soon, seventeen large and small beer bottles were piled up in front of Feng Bei, and after a general glance, Feng Bei showed a smile on his face:
Well, the bottles were barely broken, five of them were green, two were red, and the remaining ten, all of them were the orange he needed!
"You're all doing well, but the group with bulging eyes is doing the best. ”
After a fake inspection, Feng Bei announced that the group that dug out the four orange beer bottles was the first, and then he opened his "net pocket", took out all the bird livers, cut them into a dozen pieces, and rewarded the largest piece to the bulging eyes, and the rest was equally divided among each of the praying mantis in that group!
God is pitiful, the praying mantis have not even tasted bird eggs, this fat-rich bird liver, for them, is even more supreme! After another period of gobbling up, the praying mantis in the group with bulging eyes suddenly lifted their spirits, although the bird liver is too small, the mutated part has not recovered, but it can also be seen that the evil energy around them is much thinner than the original!
The enthusiasm of these praying mantis was ignited at once, and they screamed excitedly! The other praying mantis who were watching next to them were even more envious, hating why they had not met the requirements of the Holy Envoy just now, and held their breath in their hearts, the next task, they must take the lead and show their faces in front of the Holy Envoy!
Seeing that the morale was available, Feng Bei waved his sword, pointed to a clearing in the distance, and said:
"Clansmen, the next task is even simpler, as long as these orange bottles are transported to that place one by one, it will be completely completed!
Everyone is working hard to complete it as soon as possible, and if the first group completes it, this holy envoy will still be rewarded!"
As soon as the words fell, the praying mantis acted quickly! This time it was not to dig up the bottle, but to push the bottle, and it didn't take much effort at all, they quickly divided into ten groups, gathered around different orange bottles, some were responsible for pushing, some were responsible for maintaining the direction of the bottle mouth, and some were responsible for commanding, almost six or seven big praying mantises, they could easily control a bottle, push it up and roll, and chase each other and chase each other, and run happily!
Looking at this rare scene of Warcraft division of labor and cooperation, Feng Bei couldn't help but smile:
This is not the kind of cooperation of worker bees and worker ants enslaved by pheromones, but the praying mantis seek cooperation with each other in a state of rational thinking, if this model can be maintained, over time, it is not known that a praying mantis empire will appear in this wilderness.
However, these praying mantis are still a little uncontrollable!
After looking at it for a while, Feng smiled silently:
After all, it is the first time to cooperate, and they are a little too serious, and the "hiss" between each other is all passing on useful information, such as turning left, braking quickly, oops, the bottle is pressing my foot, etc., without any small talk, which shows that the cooperation between them is still in a very early stage.
The reason why I say this is because Feng Bei has seen an expert in coordinated operations in Warcraft, and that is - killer whales.
These guys are the powerful killers of the ocean, but they never believe in individual heroism, they always work as a team, and they simply don't give other creatures a way to live! Whenever killer whales start to hunt, the whole sea is full of crisp and pleasant noises, and they seem so harmonious and friendly to each other.
But this is not the case, few people know that the killer whales are all authentic Zuan players, their voices sound very pleasant, but the meaning is almost all scolding, ridicule, and throwing the pot to sprout, such as:
"I'm not a fool to wipe the assistant in charge of blocking the road, half of the fish are leaking out!
"Brother in charge of output, don't you have any teeth, do you want me to help you change a pair of shark dentures?!"
"I said a long time ago that I will bring Meng Xin to be wiped out, and everyone will be hungry together!
"! Why don't we beat Meng Xin out of anger?"
"He's a patriarch. ”
"That's fine. ”
"I'm a very bad guy, but why are you beating me?
If you want me to say, there is still room for growth in this new one, and the top order is the real old color pen, right?"
"That's right! It's an old pit to be on the list! Before it started the group, it dared to say that the professional order would be sent if it didn't give it!"
"What is the jungler (free whale) doing? Are you free, can you come and save me?"
And so on, all in all, while scolding and mocking each other, while cooperating with the tacit understanding to do the work, after catching the fish and eating it together, and then bragging around together, bragging about how fierce the group was just now, a savage collision knocked the shark over the car, to it or something.
In Feng Bei's view, killer whales are the advanced mode of cooperation, and they don't need to remind each other, deliberately report points, and nag and talk about it, and the prey will die, and the tacit understanding is deeply engraved into the bones. Compared to them, the praying mantis still has a long way to go in terms of teamwork.
Just when Feng Bei was thinking about the future of the mantis tribe, the praying mantis had already pushed the bottle to the position designated by Feng Bei:
A clearing far away from the original camp, there are no trees around, even the grass is sparse, this kind of place is very unfriendly to insects, it is easy to be exposed to the sight of predators, and as soon as the frenzy of completing the task has passed, the praying mantis are a little uneasy.
Shrunken his wings and leaned over to Feng Bei, and asked in a low voice:
"My lord, what are we going to do next?"
Feng Bei came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at it, and said with a smile:
"What's next, there's no next, we've done everything, and we just have to wait. ”
"Wait, wait, what?"
I didn't expect to get such an answer, and the rotten pliers were puzzled:
"Painstakingly brought the bottle, and just threw it away?"
"Don't be in a hurry, let the bottle sit for a while. ”
Feng Bei gently patted the head of the rotten pliers and said with a smile:
"You're keeping an eye on me here, I'm going to sleep first. ”
After speaking, regardless of the reaction of the praying mantises, Feng Bei directly found a leeward place and lay down to rest. His status as a holy envoy was still very majestic, and the praying mantis did not dare to question him, so they all cast their puzzled eyes on the rotten pliers, and stared at it closely, hoping that it could give a convincing explanation.
The six hearts of the rotten pincers chuckled at the same time, knowing that this was broken, and if it couldn't say a word to prove that it was meaningful for dozens of praying mantis to consume so much physical strength, then it, the first to support the Holy Messenger, would be torn to pieces by the angry people and eaten to make up for their losses!
Can...... But I really don't know anything!
The rotten pliers didn't know what to say at all, and it didn't understand what Feng Bei was doing, so it fell into silence for a while, just when the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn, and the eyes of the praying mantis looking at the rotten pliers were getting more and more unkind, suddenly, on the periphery of the mantis group, there was a hissing exclamation!
The praying mantis looked back curiously, wondering what had happened, so surprised that the same clan was so surprised, this time they turned their heads, but just saw that the ten bottles that were thrown there before, I don't know when a lot of sturdy beetles appeared, they squeezed me, I squeezed you, did not let each other, they were desperately pricking this bottle with tail pins, and the crisp dinging sound was endless!
One by one, these insects seemed to have lost their minds, completely ignoring the large group of praying mantis around them, as if they did not know that these praying mantis could eat them at any time! What is even more exaggerated is that the same beetles are constantly flying in the distance, landing on these bottles, completely covering the surface of the bottles!
