Chapter 85: Ants
The wild cats outside the streets were opened, and when the wind blew through the wilderness, they stretched out their limbs and scattered like paratroopers to all parts of the heavens and the earth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the depths of spring, it was the moment when the ant nest was gradually recovering, and Lu Qingchen carefully searched for the land under his feet.
Lu Qingchen's choice of pets is also very strange.
In addition to the starlings, he raised a lot, and he was a lot of fraternity, especially when he was sent to the mountains to be a wild man, and he tried almost all the creatures that could be found in the mountains. He even raised a little red fox, which was particularly spirited. In fact, foxes are much easier to raise than cats and dogs, but they are too smart to be kept at home. The old hunter once hunted a few pheasants, made delicious smoked jerky, and hid them in the wooden locker, Lu Qingchen saw that the little red fox was staring at the locker, salivating.
Later, the two went out for a while, and the bacon in the wooden cabinet was gone, and the old hunter looked at the red fox with a round belly, and exhaled to death. He said how come foxes can pick locks? The wooden cabinet was very hard, and it was not opened by brute force, but the fox bit the key and turned around a few times, which was really interesting.
The old hunter was furious, and the elf's fire fox burrowed into Lu Qingchen's feet and roared "whoa, whoa".
In fact, the old hunter did not hate this pleasant little animal, but after that, the little red fox was released into the mountain and locked when he went out. But the little red fox was very good, and although it was gone, every evening, when the warm yellow light shone into the hut, it would always wait at the door, sniffing the smell of the earth with its little black nose. It could smell Lu Qingchen from inside, and knew that he hadn't been away for too long, and it could always come to Lu Qingchen. And when he saw the old hunter in the distance, he turned his head and went into the hollow of the tree by the side of the house. As soon as Lu Qingchen arrived, it jumped around him, and it would not stop until it was eaten.
A piece of meat is always not enough, at least give it half a chicken and duck to calm it down.
The little red fox's greed is unlimited, but the day when Lu Qingchen left is getting closer and closer, it always looks around in the grass for food, occasionally lying its head on Lu Qingchen's lap, squinting a pair of cunning and slender eyes, watching the sunset and stars with him...... Later, Lu Qingchen left.
The little red fox has been waiting in front of the wooden house, waiting for three days, seven days, half a month, although the old hunter often appears, but Lu Qingchen is no longer there, and the little red fox has never appeared here.
Foxes are cunning after all, and some can be flattered by eating, and they will soon leave if they don't eat.
There are also some centipedes and funnel spiders, needless to say, they are all things that can be played with.
It was then that he became acquainted with the most ferocious ant in the mountains, a predatory ant called "Mountain Tooth". The double-toothed jaw is like an open tiger scissor, which can be opened to 180 degrees, and once merged, it will have a huge impact like a bullet! Lu Qingchen accidentally hit a few tricks, and later observed the big teeth of the mountain, and he found that these ants were more neurotic, and they often died while running on the mountain road. How did the ants sustain such a huge colony and spread across the entire mountain with such a rapid demise? Lu Qingchen was relatively naΓ―ve at that time, and he still needed to ask: "How do ants reproduce?" β
The old hunter laughed, "Fool, how can ants reproduce?" You see that all the ants running on the road are females, who cannot give birth, and only one of the thousands of ants in a large group can keep giving birth, so she is called Lao Niang. β
"How did the old lady come here?"
"You know it in June and July, when the mountains are full of flying ants, and all the queens will give birth to tens of millions of princess ants and male ants, and they will interbreed in the air, and the princess ants will shed their membranous wings as soon as they land, and become a new generation of queens."
At that time, Lu Qingchen felt that ants were magical creatures, they served the Empress of England, they were Soviet workers, the GIs were in the hedonism of the Yankees, and even the lingering one-night stand during the wedding flight was full of French flavor.
He would then hunt for ant nests and look for queens.
At first, I didn't find the right way, so I made a nest of ants scurrying around with their heads in their hands, swearing to defend the territory to the death, and the worst thing was that the queen ant had not been found, and several soldier ants fled into the moss with the queen ant and could not be found again.
Later, after several experiments, he also learned to find out the location of the main nest, and he hit it as soon as he dug it. He kidnapped the empress and took thirty slaves for her, and put them in a wooden cage he had built.
Because there was no transparent material such as glass, it was really troublesome for him to observe, and now that I think about it, the design at that time was really naΓ―ve.
I remember that when the house was destroyed by the wolf monster and renovated, he happened to ask the boss for some glass materials, which were relatively fine glass scraps, but they were not of much use, so he sold them to Lu Qingchen at the price of cabbage. Now that he has come to Nazaki Village, can he fulfill his long-standing wishes?
Yuno was frightened: "Wow, here and here! β
Lu Qingchen ran to take a look excitedly, "What's here?" β
Yuno said: "Ants, baating, it's so fun." β
Lu Qingchen saw that there were really ants, but they were too small, and the ants in front of him were small and small, but there were no shortage of people with heads as big as cows. Lu Qingchen said: "This big-headed ant is not a big deal. "If you want to see it, you can only see the specialized soldier ants, but the specialized soldier ants are only less than 4MM, and it is not interesting.
Yuno muttered, "It's fun." ON THE OTHER HAND, SHE POINTED TO A HUGE SOLDIER ANT WITH A RED BODY, THIS SOLDIER ANT IS ALSO A BIG HEAD, BUT IT IS ABOUT 1.6CM TALL, SHE SAID EXCITEDLY: "LOOK, LOOK, WHAT A BIG ANT." β
Lu Qingchen didn't forget to take a few test tubes when he came out of the hospital, and saw that the red soldier received the first test tube, and he said: "This is not a big-headed ant, it's a giant ant, and it is called a red giant ant by looking at the color." β
Yuno retorted, "Is there a difference between a big head and a giant head?" Really. β
Lu Qingchen said: "Of course there is, there is no difference between adults and giants, mountains and giant mountains?" β
"Hmph." Yuno couldn't win him for a while.
Lu Qingchen pointed straight at it, and many of the worker ants of the giant head ant escorted the soldier ants back and forth to climb on the branches, and they relied on the branches to walk through the inside and outside of the nest, and the main nest should be hidden in the hollow of the dead tree.
Yuno looked at the worker ants: "Why is it so small, skinny, it feels so weak." β
LU QINGCHEN SAID: "THE GIANT HEAD ANT IS DIFFERENTIATION FUN, THE BIG EGGS HATCH OUT OF THE SOLDIER ANTS, THE MAXIMUM CAN REACH 2CM, AND THE MAXIMUM WORKER ANT IS ONLY 3MM." β
"This gap, tsk......" Yuno rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try, "What should I do now?" β
Lu Qingchen looked at her serious appearance and said, "Why are you suddenly so excited?" β
Yuno's eyes are like torches, "Tremble under my power!" Smash it! Your entire kingdom will be destroyed by me, your soldiers will be killed, and I will take your children and queens. Uh-huh-haha......"
