Chapter 64: Ants
86_86900 Du Qinyue walked around a little anxiously, and it was clear that it had only been half an hour since she was told by her watch, and she was a little restless.
Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun were instructed to clean the dishes, and the water source basically came from the spring water they encountered along the way, and they let Qingdai filter it several times before they dared to use it. The two twins sat unusually well-behaved in their seats, not saying a word.
Finally, Du Qinyue couldn't help it anymore and said to the two children: "Aren't you predictable? Can you take a look at the current situation of Qingdai? ”
Ou Hui and Ou Ming glanced at each other, a little hesitant, but still spoke: "Our ability is still relatively weak, there are not many things that can be seen, and the time to use it each time is limited, this time I feel that there is no big deal, so I didn't take it seriously, just to prepare for the next time when it is more needed." ”
Du Qinyue looked at the eyes of the two children who were a little ashamed and worried about being disgusted, and couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, I didn't take you for any ability, you don't have to worry, I'll just ask casually." ”
Zhang Hongjun tidied up the kitchen, brought over a large kettle, and handed it to Du Qinyue very calmly: "Let's have a pot of tea." ”
Du Qinyue looked at Zhang Hongjun, who ordered the "voice-controlled stove", and jumped up for a while, until he was left with a panda eye, then he picked up the kettle and boiled it with a simmer, after all, the water to drink is more important to safety than the water used, of course, it must be boiled, and Qingdai must drink some tea when he comes back.
Just when everyone was absent-minded, Qingdai came back with Xu Sheng.
With just one glance, Du Qinyue could see that Qing Dai was tired, even if she wiped off her sweat, she couldn't hide that kind of exhaustion.
"Why are you fighting so hard, don't you just look at the situation? Not this time, and next time, we are not short of this bit of food. Du Qinyue really felt a little angry that she was made by Qing Dai's behavior, she was always so worried, wouldn't she be considerate of her friend's feelings?
Qing Dai was a little apologetic, obediently pressed on the seat by Du Qinyue, drank a large glass of water that had been adjusted to the right temperature a long time ago, and then said slowly: "It's not so strict, I just ran into a very special tree, I feel very communicative, and there is no threat, so I just try my best." Then she smiled and comforted Du Qinyue: "Just now, I did succeed, and I found something very important." ”
Du Qinyue looked at Qing Dai with a little frustration, she always said that Qing Dai couldn't be said, she obviously looked like a very light and easy-going person, but she was actually so sober and stubborn, which made people want to trust and distressed.
Zhang Hongjun looked at the warm picture between the two girls, and always felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly interjected: "Succeeded? Is there already a food source? ”
Qingdai nodded: "We saw a jujube tree, which has become huge, but its intelligence is very high, and it should be one of the rulers of this forest." It's autumn and the date trees are ripe. ”
Du Qinyue's love came and went quickly, and when she heard this, she was very happy: "Have dates to eat?" Great, shall we pick it now? ”
Qingdai hurriedly suppressed the excited Du Qinyue and added, "Wait a minute, Jujube Tree, ask to make a deal with us." ”
Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun raised their eyebrows and glanced at each other very naturally, the tree of wisdom is really different.
Du Qinyue was a little disapproving: "Deal? Do you want us to bring water to it or loosen the soil? It's no problem, hehe, these big men are not decorations. ”
Qing Dai took another glass of water that Xu Sheng had poured and glanced at it gratefully, this man really knew her too well and spoiled her, but he still felt a little thirsty, and he could detect it.
Xu Sheng looked at Qing Dai gently, glanced at Du Qinyue with a little dissatisfaction, and helped Qing Dai explain: "That jujube tree has almost dominated a radius of several kilometers here, and there are many plants and animals that can send it water and loose soil, of course, it is not that simple. This time, we were given a more troublesome task. ”
Zhang Hongjun rarely heard Xu Sheng take the initiative to say such a long thing, and looked at a few people with some amusement, a pair of peach blossom eyes flowed with infinite spring, but unfortunately no one appreciated it at the scene, but the two children were waiting for Qingdai to speak.
Qing Dai took a look at Xu Sheng and found that he said a word to mock Du Qinyue and refused to speak again, feeling that these two people really had a grudge against each other in their previous lives.
However, she still suppressed a trace of throbbing in her heart, and sorted it out before saying, "The jujube tree is smarter than several plants I have encountered before, so I feel that its words are also the most meaningful." Basically, it shows that it is not hostile to humans and animals, and as long as it does not kill its people and obtains the fruit appropriately for food, most plants will not have a sense of fighting back. ”
After a pause, she glanced at the expressions of everyone who were clearly focused on the back, and then said: "When we asked to pick dates, the date tree was not unhappy, but just thought about it for a while, hoping that we could help it solve the biggest enemy in its territory at present. ”
Du Qinyue couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it dominating this piece?" How powerful are the mutated plants, and there are enemies? ”
"Of course." Qing Dai's eyes also showed a cautious gaze: "In this world, the most combative race is insects!" ”
Insects are generally small in nature, but it is precisely because they are small that they prove that nature is fair. Basically, insects have hard bodies, strong limbs, and indestructible mouthparts, that is, they are small people, who can fight creatures that are several times and dozens of times larger than their bodies, and can carry food many times their own weight, if it weren't for their small size, where would there be the possibility of humans dominating the earth!
Even Qingyun has always been an intelligent type, and he likes to read books the most, so he naturally knows the horror of insects very well, looking at everyone's confused looks, he said: "The combat power of insects, converted according to volume, is world-class, I'm afraid it's better than those with abilities!" ”
This comparison can make people clearly understand: normal insects, and mutated humans!
Qing Dai was silent for a moment in everyone's somewhat surprised eyes, and then said, "What the jujube tree wants us to do is to dispose of a nest of mutant ants in its territory. ”
Although it was also quiet when no one spoke, the atmosphere at the moment was obviously much more condensed.
Ants, mutant ants!
In addition to children who will use this small insect as a toy to observe and play with before the sky changes, those who have learned the basic course will also know that ants are actually extremely terrifying creatures, with first-class fecundity, unity, and super group fighting ability. The most ferocious man-eating ants abroad are even more discolored, and they are described as the most terrifying creatures by countless film and television works.
Mutated ants, I'm afraid they won't be able to do much.
Qing Dai closed her eyes, felt Xu Sheng pat her shoulder comfortingly, then opened her eyes and continued: "I didn't agree at first, after all, there are just a few of us, and countless insects like ants will set us on fire." ”
Seeing that everyone was finally no longer immersed in the entanglement, Qing Dai said slowly: "But the jujube tree said that such mutant ants are not very common, and the ability to reproduce and fight may have reached a terrible point, and now it only threatens its territory, and the next step may be to expand, and we will most likely encounter it in the future, and it may be even more dangerous at that time." It is built to be the first to start, to take precautions, to help, and to give something special as a thanks. ”
Du Qinyue heard Qing Dai's turn several times, but it seemed that there were still unfinished words, so she couldn't help asking, "So?" ”
"So, I went to the vicinity of the place where the jujube tree said and sensed it." Qing Dai's eyes finally revealed a frightened feeling: "Those ants are about the same size as man-eating ants, the size is 3 to 5 centimeters, and the number is maintained at about tens of thousands, but they have been fighting, just like the Gu worms in the story, the strong eat the weak." The queen is always producing, so that the ant population can always be maintained. But if they continue to develop, when they feel that it is appropriate to be eliminated, I am afraid that the end of the other creatures will come. ”
Ou Hui shook his hand, and the cup full of water fell to the ground with a click, waking everyone up.
Looking at the children who were frightened by Qing Dai's description, everyone has nothing to blame, girls hate and fear insects almost by nature, and both children are strong and brave.
Without waiting for Qingdai to let them rest, Ou Hui took Ou Ming's hand, and his whole body immediately tensed, bursting out with a special temperament.
A few adults were surprised for a moment, only to realize that this was their ability.
Qing Dai looked at them just a few minutes of luck, and then she broke out in a cold sweat, and she became a little nervous, will it hurt the child's body with such an ability?
Fortunately, after a while, the two of them relaxed at the same time, Qingdai and Du Qinyue hurriedly took out towels to wipe their sweat, although the autumn day was dry and warm, the autumn wind was also cold.
Without waiting for the two children to speak, Zhang Hongjun stuffed two glasses of water into their hands, signaling to drink water first, no matter how urgent the situation was, it would not abuse them.
Ou Hui watched everyone walk around them, full of worry, but he didn't look at it greedily, his eyes were slightly red, and he took a few deep breaths, and then he suppressed his feelings, picked up the water cup and drank it.
Qing Dai looked around, thought for a while, simply took Xu Sheng's hand, borrowed energy, and released a circle of corpse vines, surrounding this small open space, since you want to prepare for a battle, of course, you have to make a safe camp, considering the size and number of ants, the corpse vines must be extremely dense.
Du Qinyue, Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun went to find the right thing to prepare for the next thing.
When the twins recovered and found that everyone had dispersed, they couldn't help but sigh, weren't they going to listen to the prophecy?
Qing Dai inadvertently noticed the stunned expressions of the two children, and roughly knew their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we believe in you, but we also believe that my fate is up to me, even if there is a providence, it is also a self-help person who is helped by heaven." Since you want to fight, you have to go all out, and your prophecy will be used as a reference, and we will have a combat meeting later, and you will speak. ”
Ou Hui and Ou Ming looked at it stupidly for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, they realized how special the group of people they met were, even if they had mysterious prophecy abilities, they were just a kind of information collection, they would not worship the twins as gods, nor would they abandon them, just a normal combat partner. But such an ordinary attitude is a luxury that they didn't dare to think of, like a dream
