Chapter 288: The Secret of the Sand Spider
As he spoke, Buckland's face was as serious as if he had swallowed a ton of scales.
The lord was also very serious, but after hearing this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What do you say, old man...... It is...... Spiders and our intelligent beings...... That organ is different, do you know what I mean?" he went on and on.
"I don't know?" Buckland was so angry that he almost jumped on the spot, "As a naturalist, you can insult me personally, but don't insult my professional knowledge. ”
"Oh?" Richard crossed his arms and smiled indifferently, like an ant looking down on the ground from above.
This is a bit convincing if it is said to others.
But since the birth of the telescope, the hydrogen balloon, and Dracula's blood grouping theory, he has a tendency to become the first naturalist in Alpine Castle with all the strange knowledge that no one knows where to go.
Buckland said that, but he didn't kick it right on the iron plate.
"At such an age, don't always care about the in the next three roads. The lord patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If you are bored, you can learn a musical instrument, how healthy it is." ”
"I'm ......" The old white tiger slapped his forehead, and he was speechless.
"It's okay, I'm leaving. ”
"Wait!" Buckland tugged at his sleeve, "I swear I know what a normal spider should look like!
"Really?" said Richard, skeptically.
After all, Buckland is usually quite reliable, and if Nehru is replaced, Richard will definitely not be a bird.
"It's true!" the old white tiger almost swore by the curse of the sky.
"Tell me clearly, are some sand spiders not having reproductive organs, or are all sand spiders not having reproductive organs?" the relaxed smile on the lord's face disappeared for a moment.
This question is critical.
One head can also be pushed to the deformity, but if everyone is like this, it is not accidental to explain, it is inevitable.
"I examined the bones of hundreds of sand spiders, and none of them, without exception, had no reproductive organs. Buckland finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was finally getting serious, "And so on, it's very unlikely that other sand spiders have reproductive organs. ”
"There are so many sand spiders, it is impossible to conjure them out of thin air. Richard frowned and fell into thought.
"yes, it can't be conjured out of thin air. "The old white tiger has a kinship.
The two of them didn't speak for a moment, only to hear the breeze rustling through the leaves.
The others looked at the two of them, and they knew that they must be discussing things, and they tacitly set aside a peace.
In the distance, the laughter of the vassal lords could be faintly heard, and after overcoming their initial fears, they found a rustic harvest of pleasure.
"Sand spiders have survived from ancient times to the present day, so it can be seen that there must be some way to reproduce. Richard kicked lightly at the ground, kicking up a few pieces of rotting leaves.
"That's what I thought, too. Buckland nodded, slowly resting his arms on the trunk, "They must have a way to reproduce, but ordinary sand spiders don't participate in the process." ”
"It sounds like bees or ants. Richard picked up a brown ant from the rough trunk.
This kind of ant is a special product of the Twilight Forest, and it is very stunning, as long as a small melon seed, but it is completely vegetarian.
"Worker ants are responsible for foraging and most of the labor, but only male ants and queens have the right to leave offspring. Richard continued, "If the sand spiders we see are nothing more than worker ants in the colony, where is the queen?"
Richard had a great curiosity about sand spiders.
Or more precisely, he has a deep curiosity about the ancient goblin civilization hidden behind the sand spiders.
"Maybe I can fly into the sky and look for it...... No way. The lord said as he vetoed it first.
The desert outside the stone wall is so vast that even if the vision from high altitude is relatively wide, it is as difficult to find a needle in a haystack.
And it's a lot of fun to wander around, in case you run into those evil Titans who claim to be Protoss.
"You, I'm at a loss. Buckran lifted the tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a pair of small mung bean eyes behind the dirty lenses seemed to smile, "Since it is a worker ant, it will definitely send the food it collects back to the nest to feed the queen ant." ”
"That's right!" Richard slapped hard.
The memory of the last time he fought side by side with the indigenous tiger spirit instantly became clear in his mind. Looking back now, there are actually many details that are vaguely revealing the truth, but they didn't dig into it at the time.
"When the sand spiders are fighting with the natives, the sand spiders that suck blood will immediately withdraw from the attack and return to the desert without a trace. ”
"If you're sucking blood for your own consumption, there's no need to quit. The old white tiger said unhurriedly, "The reason why they want to do this is probably to worship the mistress of the clan." ”
"Hiss~" Richard gasped and nodded again and again, "Elder, it's really you! This guess seems to be reliable!"
"As a naturalist, studying the practice of everything in the world, what is this!" Buckland finally seized the opportunity to pull back a game.
"You can definitely give it a try. If you can really find the spider queen, you won't be able to take the opportunity to get a glimpse of the scales and half-claws of the goblin civilization back then. The more the lord spoke, the more excited he became.
"But don't be too happy. Bucklan saw the opportunity and poured a basin of cold water on him, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to track down sand spiders, this kind of monster will burrow into the sand." Once you get into the sand, you can't see anything even from the sky. ”
"It's simple. Richard didn't think about it and said, "We can ask Dracula to help, he has a certain ability to sense his own blood, even through the sand." ”
"Hiss~" This time for Buckland, he gasped, "This is okay?"
"It's worth trying!" Richard slapped the trunk of the tree, smashing a well-defined handprint that exuded bright green juice.
"And the more blood he has, the farther the sensing distance, so if he can't do it, put more of it. I remember the last time he said that as long as he has 6/10 HP, he can stay alive, which means that 4/10 is fine. ”
Buckland reached out and patted the leaves off the top of his head, "I didn't see him so powerful before." ”
"Higuain. The Lord of Alpine Fort had an idea, and immediately gave the first order to the dragon knight who had just arrived, "You ride the dragon to the Typhon Gap, and pick up a man named Dracula back." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The dragon flapped its wings, set off a raging wind, and then soared into the sky.
