Chapter 37 "Livestock" Breeding Plan (Part II)
These flying beetles look very much like beetles, but they are much larger, generally one to two centimeters long, and the "shell" on the back is not spotted like beetles, but is very uniform pale yellow. It can be seen from their long and narrow bodies and well-developed elytra that this insect must have an extremely strong flight ability, and it is definitely a prey that ordinary praying mantis cannot catch.
Looking at these insects, the saliva of all the praying mantis is about to flow down (if they have saliva)! You must know that because of their special body structure, the stronger the flying ability, the faster the energy will be consumed, the more energy will be stored in the body, in other words, the more nutritious it is! The praying mantis has poor flying ability, and most of the insects that are usually caught are not good at flying, and the meat is loose and the nutrition is low.
The praying mantis were stunned, and they all wanted to rush forward, rush to the edge of the bottle, and copy the beetle to eat, but because of their slow movement, they were very afraid that as soon as they went up, the beetles lying on the bottle scattered and ran away without a trace, so that the beautiful scenery of the "full warehouse of food" in front of them came to naught, and they all hesitated in place.
But it was not a solution to watch all the time, and in the end, the rotten pliers were bold, and cautiously took a few steps forward, and stood still five centimeters next to the beer bottle, observing the reaction of the beetles. When they found that the beetles were piercing the bottle with their tail needles and didn't notice themselves at all, the rotting pliers were overjoyed, and the two big knives stretched forward and closed them hard, and they caught a beetle at the mouth of the bottle and took it away quietly!
Even though it had been captured, the beetle struggled to break free from the big knife of the rotten pliers and pounce back on the beer bottle!
Afraid that this beetle would scream blindly and play a role in warning its kind, the rotten pliers hurriedly strengthened the knife to completely restrain the other party, and then leaned down, with a hideous mouthpiece, and gnawed off its head in a few clicks!
During the whole process, the pale yellow beetle didn't seem to realize that it was about to die, it didn't look at the rotten pliers at all, and didn't care that the other party was gnawing on its head, just staring at the beer bottle crawling with beetles, its eyes were full of longing and madness, as if its soul had been hooked away by the bottle, life was meaningless to it, and at this time, the only thought in its mind was - beer bottle!
Despite the joy of catching the food, in the heart of the rotten tongs, there is more of a puzzle about the strange performance of this worm, and a deep fear of wind sorrow! This holy envoy from the Holy Nest has not known what evil method he has used to make these beetles lose their minds, which is really terrifying!
In the future, you must serve the Holy Envoy wholeheartedly, otherwise you may die in a tragic way one day!
Thinking of this, the rotten pincers didn't dare to eat the beetle they caught, because it hadn't been allowed by Feng Bei, and it showed the beetle to all the clansmen, and after showing the greatness of the holy envoy, it prostrated on the ground, and with the most humble posture, slowly squirmed to Feng Bei's resting place, bowed his head and said respectfully:
"Great Lord, under the guidance of your supreme glory, the food has come by itself!
Thou hast given us so many and such high-quality prey, and it is more beautiful than the best scene we have ever imagined!O generous Lord, we can only repay thy generosity by offering thee our flesh, soul, and all that is thee!"
With a light hum, Feng Bei made a full gesture, making himself look extremely tall and majestic, and was silent for about a minute, making sure that all the praying mantis present did not dare to act without permission to eat those beetles, and after waiting for his own orders, he smiled slightly and said gently:
"The people have worked hard, and now they have food and can move.
As for the allocation criteria...... You can eat as much as you can, and the food of the other clansmen is up to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, the six praying mantis who were the first to pledge allegiance to Feng Bei were immediately grateful beyond words! They all prostrated down, trying their best to express their reverence and loyalty to Feng Bei, and when they stood up again and looked at other people, their eyes were already full of lofty meaning, and their bodies were also filled with a noble temperament!
Six praying mantis each walked towards different beer bottles, and behind them, more than seventy praying mantis consciously divided into six teams and followed behind them. The leading praying mantis naturally took the beetles from the beer bottle and feasted on them, and the other praying mantis watched it eat and drink quietly, and none of them expressed a different opinion.
After the lead praying mantis had eaten and drunk enough, he dragged his fat belly and staggered away from the beer bottle. It was only then that the long-awaited praying mantis rushed up and pounced on the beer bottles, and you fought for it! With terrifying sounds, one by one the pale yellow beetles were torn alive and filled into the empty stomach and intestines of the praying mantis!
And in the whole process, the weirdest part is that no matter how the praying mantis pushes, how they make noise, how they kill the beetles with cruel means, those little ones turn a blind eye and are unaware, and all their energy and attention are used to do the same thing - to poke the beer bottle under them with their tail pins!
In the midst of this strange scene, Feng Bei smiled slightly:
Of course, he didn't do anything, in fact he didn't do anything to the bottles, nor to the little beetles, but just to let them meet at the right time.
This small beetle is called a popping skin worm, with brightly colored elytra, which is relatively beautiful in the insect world, so in their view of insect life, you must also find a beautiful object.
So the question is, in the aesthetics of the popping skin worm, what kind of opposite sex is considered beautiful?
It's very simple, first of all, the more yellow the color, the better; the second is to be big, the bigger the body as much as possible; the last is to be bright, the stronger the reflection, the better, if it can be bright and transparent, it is simply great! It is very coincidental that the bottles made by human beings in order to drink beer are very perfect for the aesthetics of the popping skin worm! In the eyes of these insects, the beer bottle is as beautiful as a fairy in the true sense, a thousand times more beautiful than the lover worm in their dreams!
In this case, how can those skin-popping insects be able to control the evil thoughts in their hearts? Naturally, they will pounce on them and get on their horses, and they will not leave no matter how much they drag them! Essentially, it is not the tail needle of the skin-popping worm that stabs the beer bottle, but the ding-worm of the skin-popping worm, in other words, they are actually in the bottle......
Looking at the gluttonous feast of the praying mantises, Feng Bei silently calculated in his heart that outside each bottle, there are almost fifty popping skin worms, and if there are more, the surface of the bottle will be completely covered, causing the other popping skin bugs flying in the air to not see the bewitching posture of the beer bottle, and they will not pounce down again. In this way, there were about 600 of the ten bottles, and the more than 70 praying mantis present could be divided into at least eight or nine for each of them as food on average.
If these praying mantis are just ordinary praying mantises, then six or seven such big bugs are enough to hold them to death! But unfortunately, these guys are all big men who have been matured by evil energy, and most of them are more than twenty or thirty centimeters, and some of them are even half a meter long, and six or seven popping skin worms are just enough for them to barely eat six or seven points full.
Even so, these praying mantis are very satisfied, not to mention that they are full, in the past month or two, they have not eaten anything except when they killed their fellow clans and sacrificed to the sky!
What's even more wonderful is that these skin bugs have developed wings, high nutrition and high energy, which is a great tonic for the praying mantises, and it doesn't take much effort, those praying mantis who are competing for enough food will begin to reveal the light of the Holy Nest from the inside out, dispel the evil energy surrounding the body, and then the body gradually returns to normal, and the back abdomen swells and contracts regularly, pulling out their "aging" in a sparse uproar!
Constantly there are praying mantis to return to normal size, and come to Feng Bei's side, kneel at his feet, and offer his loyalty to him, the surrounding area is becoming more and more stinky, and the stinky Feng Bei has to step on the ground hard, sink his toes into the ground, and block his olfactory receptors, only to feel slightly better.
In order to divert his attention and not lose his majesty in front of these praying mantises, Feng Bei hurriedly opened the system panel in his mind to check his own tasks, but as soon as he glanced at it, he couldn't help frowning:
On the system panel, the first goal of the main quest "Save the Praying Mantises" shows the words (26/30 completed), which means that if four more praying mantis are fed, this goal will be completed, while the second goal "and make these praying mantis occupy a stable ecological niche" shows (7/30 completed), which is obviously quite far from the minimum standard of 30!
