116. The natural predator of the seahorse
The Seahorse Patriarch was skeptical of Ning Qing's words, but he didn't embarrass her when it came to the deal of this waste water ball. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info'Waste water balls are of no use to us, so I'll ask the clansmen to take you to some abandoned places to collect them.' "Then thank you, patriarch, if you need anything in the future, you can mention it to us." ’
The Seahorse Patriarch just nodded, but didn't ask for anything. Their life has always been peaceful, as if they have nothing to need. Besides, these waste water balls are just garbage for them, and since others need them, it doesn't matter if they give them away.
Suddenly, the patriarch remembered something, 'Are all those metal creatures that have recently appeared at the bottom of the sea belong to your clan?' Ning Qing didn't know why, but she felt that this patriarch had no malicious intentions. 'Yes, we're all looking for balls of wastewater underwater. ’
'Just now our people saw a metal creature, as if it had been swept into an underwater undercurrent, would you like to go and see it?' 'A kind reminder from the Seahorse Patriarch. Ning Qing hurriedly contacted the people from the pro-guard team and the black spider, and got the news of Wu Bing's disappearance. Ning Qing asked the second captain, Cheng Lan, to come down and communicate with the Seahorse Patriarch, because Cheng Lan would also use the "Voice of All Things".
After Ning Qing thanked the patriarch for the reminder, he followed behind Xiao Bai and hurried to the vicinity of the underwater undercurrent. But obviously, Wu Bing, a foodie, is not a weak woman. When Ning Qing arrived, she herself happened to drive the mecha out of the undercurrent, and the mecha also had a souvenir on its left hand.
"Hey, Commander, why are you here?" "The people in the back said that someone was involved in an underwater undercurrent, so I came over to take a look." Wu Bing's answer was even more embarrassed. "Hehe, I just saw an eel, and I'm going to catch one and grill it." Wu Bing's answer also made Ning Qing speechless.
But Xiaobai on the side panicked when he saw the "eel" in Wu Bing's mecha. 'Stranger, this is a manta ray!!' Be careful, it will get into us! Ning Qing and Wu Bing couldn't help but look at the "eel", it was caught by Wu Bing with spiritual power, trapped in the hands of the mecha and couldn't escape at all.
The two of them couldn't see anything powerful about this fish for a while. 'Xiaobai, is there anything wrong with this eel?' ''It's a manta ray. It eats exclusively on the larvae of our family of seahorses. My brother was also eaten by manta rays! Xiaobai seems to be talking a little nonsense. Are they back? No, I'm going to tell the patriarch. ’
Xiaobai's figure wandered away at once, and the remaining Ning Qing and Wu Bing were the monks of Zhang's second brother, and they were confused. The two looked at each other speechlessly. Wu Bing reviewed it with Ning Qing. "Commander. I acted on my own during the mission. Violated the regimental rules. I am willing to accept the punishment. ”
Ning Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Okay, your eel is handed in." Go back and let everyone eat together. Just hand me a review. The two of them took the eel and quickly returned to the place where they had just met the seahorses.
Cheng Lan also came down, and behind her were also a few female soldiers with black spiders. Now, though, the Seahorse Patriarch didn't have time to pay attention to her. Because Xiaobai was talking to the patriarch and the clansmen, and the seahorse clan was also very surprised.
Doesn't the manta fish come back only once every five years, and they only came last year. Why are you coming back this year? The people behind the patriarch also stirred. Later, when the patriarch saw the "eel" in Wu Bing's mecha hand, he also cautiously leaned up and looked at it carefully.
This is indeed a manta ray hatchling! The patriarch made a heavy conclusion. The people behind it began to panic. What should we do, we finally suffered last year's disaster, and this year the manta rays are here again. Will our children be saved? ''My family didn't have any of the 3 children last year, and I just gave birth to one this year, what should I do?'' ’
Compared with the boiling discussion of the clansmen, the seahorse patriarch was a little silent. After a long time, the Seahorse Patriarch finally asked Ning Qing for help, "Stranger, didn't you just say that you could help us?" ’
Ning Qing didn't hesitate, 'Yes, Patriarch. We can help you deal with those manta rays, but we won't be here for long. 'Ning Qing's meaning is also very clear, we won't stay here for long, so we can only try to help you deal with it.
The seahorse patriarch was also embarrassed, 'Stranger, this manta ray is a natural enemy to our descendants. We can only ask for your help. 'The toxins in the manta ray's body are particularly effective against the seahorses. After 3 minutes of being bitten by a manta ray, the seahorse will die. The manta rays can then slowly enjoy their bodies. Body. Manta rays are the natural predators of the seahorse family.
Ning Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Seahorse Patriarch, we only have a few days to stay here. Even if it helps you solve the manta ray in front of you. What if the manta rays come to invade after we leave? Or will it come back next year? Our help is not a one-time solution. The Seahorse Patriarch heard Ning Qing's words, "Outlander, do you have any good proposals?" ’
Ning Qing's answer was very realistic, "I have two proposals, one is that we can leave some of our weapons and let you deal with the enemy by yourself. But one day when the weapons run out, once the Zerg occupy this star field, we will not be able to come in and transport energy and weapons to you. ’
She paused, 'Another offer is that we can help you move. You and I will move to the battleship, and when we return to the Huaxia Federation, we will find a seawater planet for you to live in. However, leaving the planet you are familiar with may be difficult for you to accept. Ning Qing's two proposals have their advantages and disadvantages.
The seahorse patriarch was also difficult to choose for a while, and the clansmen behind him were also discussing. 'Let's still have some weapons, we can deal with manta rays on our own and we don't have to leave our planet.' ''Yes, it's easy for the kids to hide it.'' ’
It's easy to say, although manta rays like to eat children, they are also cold to our mature bodies. Besides, it's not easier to change to a planet without manta rays, and you don't have to be scared all the time in the future. ’
'It's easy for you to say, our hometown is here, move to other places, and there is still Xinghaiweed? Will it be a question of whether you will be able to eat enough? "Yes, and it's hard to say if there will be any other creatures like manta rays." ’
But. We borrowed human weapons, and we don't know if we will use them. Besides, their weapons are not available for long. If they don't send us in when we need it, we're in danger, right? ’……
The Seahorse Patriarch did not stop the discussion of the clansmen, "Stranger, we need to go back and discuss your two proposals, and we will meet here again tomorrow to give you an answer, okay?" ’
Ning Qing also understood. 'Yes. Patriarch. Go back and discuss it, you need to think about it carefully. Just let us know where the waste water balls are placed. The five or six Seahorses behind the patriarch also stayed behind to show them the way.
The next day, Ning Qing came as promised. The seahorse patriarch also came single. 'Stranger, we have been discussing for a night. I decided to let some of my people go with you. The rest of the clansmen. A batch of weapons is needed. If the new ocean you arrange is habitable, we will all move it. Is that okay? ’
The seahorse patriarch is because he has a request for others. It also seems to be polite and abnormal. Ning Qing also understood that this was a matter of survival for the Seahorse Clan, so the patriarch was cautious. 'Yes, Patriarch, how many of you do you have?' Let the first people come to the sea at night. ’
'Stranger, thank you so much. We're also going to bring all the kids with us. Don't know if your transport machine has enough space? Ning Qing didn't know why, "Yes, do you have a lot of people?" ’
There are more than 200 hatchlings and about 100,000 unhatched eggs. Ning Qing couldn't help but be frightened by the number of seahorses, "How big are your eggs?" Our warship has only divided some of the transport compartments...... 'the seahorse patriarch is also nervous,' it's not very large, about twice the size of the waste ball. ’
Ning Qing thought for a moment, "Okay, let's put the seahorse eggs alone." Put on another battleship. ''Thank you so much.'' The Seahorse Patriarch said it sincerely. The manta rays were too harmful to their juveniles, and their people unanimously decided to take the children away first.
As a result, Ning Qing and his party began to return after they were fully loaded with waste water balls and most of the people of the Seahorse Clan. When Ning Qing was about to return, the escort force sent by Xia Xingbang also came. The captain of the escort fleet was none other than Gong Jianxian.
Ning Qing was also pleasantly surprised to receive Gong Health's communication. After the First Line of Defense War, Gong Jianxing went back to the capital galaxy because he wanted to escort Liang Yuhan and the Xia family's army. Later, it was said that it was the army that stayed in Xia Dingguo. team, help guard.
Now that Gong is healthy, he can go out. It is estimated that the eldest brother should have woken up, Ning Qing thought optimistically. The children had already mentioned the matter of "Fengcan" to her, and Ning Qing was also skeptical of "Fengcan". But for Xia Dingguo, who has been unconscious, it is estimated that the Xia family is still willing to gamble.
"How is General Xia Dingguo now?" After Gong Jianxing came to the control room, Ning Qing couldn't help but ask. The children are also around Gong Jianxian, and they are very concerned about the uncle's situation. "General Xia's brain consciousness has begun to recover, and Master Ning can communicate with him on the virtual network."
Gong Health since the last battle. Since the struggle, he has also become an insider of the Xia family. Now like Shouyi, he is Xia Dingguo's right and left hand, but Shouyi is in charge of the family's business part, and he is in charge of the army. Matter management part. With the permission of Ning Sixiang, the two communicated with Xia Dingguo on the virtual network.
Xia Dingguo asked him to come back to help Xia Xingbang garrison the border, and after Shouyi was raised, he continued to take care of the affairs of the Xia family. And Xia Xingbang, who happened to be short of people, saw Gong's healthy small fleet, and immediately asked him to help escort him. Ning Qing and Gong Jianxing are also acquaintances, and after everyone said a few words, they began to officially return home.
However, when Gong Jianxing was chatting, he also mentioned it to Ning Qing. Although the war in Africa and Latin America has been fierce recently, there are still a lot of undercurrents within China. Xia Xingbang was also worried that they would become an arrow target, so he let people escort him. Ning Qing was also shocked, it is estimated that this time the matter is not small.
She was prepared in her heart, and she also glanced at Fang Shiyi. The Seahorse Clan's eggs are stored separately on a warship. Because there was no need to feed, Ning Qing ordered that no one should approach without her permission. And Fang Shiyi also secretly put all the eggs into the space.
As for the rest of the Seahorse clan, they were on another battleship. Ning Qing only mentioned it to Gong Jianxian, and there were friends of other races who would go back with them, and the rest of the things about the insect killer were not mentioned. On the way back, Ning Qing was also uneasy in her heart, feeling that something was wrong.
Soon, her hunch came true. On the third day after they left Aqua Blue, the communicator that stayed in the Seahorse clan came with a message of 'help'. The soldiers of the Black Spider also called back urgently, but the other party's communicator had no signal.
Ning Qing was worried about the other party's situation, and immediately asked Gong to return to the Blue Star in good health. Gong Jian also hesitated, and quickly transferred the fleet back to Sea Blue Star. Because when he came, Xia Xingbang explained to him that Ning Qing had a special task on his side. If Ning Qing made some strange requests, Gong Health would also try to help as much as possible. (To be continued.) )
