Chapter 45: Fireflies
The red-headed cricket waited for the big brother's battle in the corner above the wooden house, although there were many insect hunters who came, but the red-headed cricket felt that its big brother would definitely be able to win this time, because it had been like this since the first time he experienced the big brother's battle......
"Big brother! them!! The red-headed crickets rubbed their wings and made a cheering sound.
After practicing dialogue with the eldest brother these days, constantly imitating the words spoken by the eldest brother, the red-headed cricket's [Insect Language] is also much more fluent, but it is still much worse, and it still can't say more than 5 words of words, although those words are in its mind.
The eldest brother in the battle did not fail to respond to its words, but the red-headed cricket had long been accustomed to it, because its eldest brother usually did not respond to its words......
The red-headed cricket did not continue to chirp, it watched the battle below through the vision in the compound eye and the [vibration perception] of the antennae, the red-headed cricket's mouth flowed a trace of saliva, and the eldest brother stuck the beetle with huge pincers with silk threads, and the meat of this insect has never been eaten, so it should be delicious......
The red-headed cricket watched its big brother's movements, and it saw that its big brother was fighting and talking to the spirit, as if he was arguing.
"Despicable bugs?" The red-headed cricket tilted its head in confusion and made a sound, from the conversation between the eldest brother and the spirit, the red-headed cricket heard this word more than once, but the tone of this sentence was different from what it had heard before.
In fact, the eldest brother had called it a cheap cricket a few times, but that voice made it feel warm, and the meanness that the current eldest brother and the spirit said made it uncomfortable and uncomfortable......
"Despicable... Lowly ......" the red-headed cricket said softly, and through the constant conversation between the eldest brother and the spirit, it gradually understood the meaning of these two words.
The meaning of this word has always been known to the red-headed cricket, but it has not corresponded that meaning to this word until today.
……
Since the birth of the red-headed cricket, it has lived in the dark crevices of the stone and gnawed on the dirt every day, and he will feel happy when he eats some of the dirt......
Later, a fortuitous excavation allowed it to emerge from a very narrow and dark crack in the stone, and its slender tentacles finally stretched out for the first time, and [Vibration Perception] also appeared at that time, and it also saw and perceived the vast world for the first time at that time......
It jumped excitedly in the outside world, he knew that grass was more delicious than dirt, and he knew that water was so sweet......
And then it also knew for the first time that the outside world was so dangerous, in front of that being, it trembled and couldn't even escape, it was a praying mantis.
However, just when the praying mantis was about to stretch out its blade to it, a huge dead branch fell from the sky and directly smashed the mantis to death, it gradually came to its senses, the mantis was motionless, it smelled the fishy smell of the mantis's corpse wound, and then it tentatively sucked the mantis's wound with the chelica in its mouth.
It was a delicacy it had never tasted, but it didn't take long for it to run away because a swarm of strong ants came......
After that, the red-headed cricket also fully understood its situation in this world, just as it instinctively told him in its own insect body - it was extremely weak.
Predators such as praying mantises, spiders, and scorpions can easily kill it, and birds and lizards that make it tremble at the sound of a sound are unimaginable in its mind.
It grew up gradually, and although it had a few near-death experiences, it also managed to survive, and it also grew wings and completely [matured].
It thinks that it has to spend its life like this, usually avoiding predators, and then uses its loud cry to attract many female crickets to come and xx with it, so that it can give birth to as many offspring as possible......
Until that day, it met the big brother......
……
The red-headed cricket found that the big brother's battle was over, and the spirit had disappeared, and it stopped thinking and flew down from the corner of the house......
The red-headed cricket flew directly to the giant pincer beetle to feed, but found that the hard carapace could not be opened at all, so it used the old method to ask the eldest brother for help again.
"Big brother! Help me! ”
"Redhead, eat quickly, and when I'm done, I'll leave here." The eldest brother said to it, and then used his huge chelica teeth to tear open the shell of the giant pincer beetle, revealing the aromatic flesh inside.
"Okay, big brother!" The red-headed cricket replied cheerfully, and then began to eat.
The red-headed cricket found that the eldest brother was busy fiddling with the thing it had found for the eldest brother during the day, and the red-headed cricket did not know what its eldest brother was going to do, but what the eldest brother did was always useful, and the red-headed cricket was eating while observing the movements of the eldest brother from time to time.
Crash......
The sound of shattering came out, and it turned out that the eldest brother was going to break the bottle, and the red-headed cricket finally knew that the eldest brother who had been busy all day was going to break the bottle.
Suddenly, the red-headed cricket smelled a rich fragrance, it turned out that the eldest brother's food was so delicious, the red-headed cricket hesitated for a moment and decided to ask the eldest brother to try it......
It's just that the red-headed cricket hasn't moved yet, and it suddenly senses that something is coming again.
The antennae on the head of the red-headed cricket swayed back and forth, and its wings made a loud chirp: "Big brother! Enemy! ”
However, the cricket's cry seemed useless this time, and its eldest brother remained motionless as if he had not heard it.
"Big brother! Enemy! Enemy! ”
"Big brother! Enemy!! ”
In the vision and perception of the red-headed cricket, two crimson poisonous snakes nearly 2 meters long quickly crawled in, and then directly to the position of its eldest brother, as if fighting for food, the two snake heads tore his eldest brother into two pieces, but his eldest brother did not even move.
"Big... Elder brother? The red-headed cricket made an incredulous sound, was his invincible big brother dead?
Its eldest brother was only a butterfly larva, not even as good as it, but his eldest brother killed the praying mantis, killed the spider and the scorpion, and even killed a bird that it had always dreamed of looking up to......
……
"Despicable bug, this is your despicable life, hahahahahaha......" The ghost of Yedans reappeared, and he laughed wildly and let out a loud voice.
Airplanes......
The red-headed cricket flapped its wings and rushed towards the spirit of Yedans again, and the spirit of Yedans was once again disturbed by the red-headed cricket.
"Big brother! It's not humble! He's not!! The red-headed cricket shouted loudly as it flew in the air, dodging the two venomous snakes that sprang up at it.
"It's funny that a cricket actually calls a reptile big brother, it's really a lowly and dirty bug!!" Yedans said with a strange smile.
"Nope! Big brother he didn't, big brother killed the bird!! The red-headed cricket shouted again.
"Birds? Did I hear me right, are you a bird? Hahaha...... Sure enough, it's a lowly bug, and even the idea is so funny, it's just a bird, and you're going to show off this to me? Tell me when your eldest brother will be able to kill the dragon, hahaha......" Yedans said with a laugh on his forehead.
"But neither the bird nor the dragon can be defeated by me!!"
"I don't know how powerful the dragon is, but big brother, he will definitely be able to defeat it!!" The red-headed cricket kept shouting in the air to the revenant Jedans.
Yedans held his forehead and kept laughing: "But your eldest brother is dead, and he was killed by two poisonous snakes that are not even as good as the toes of the dragon, hahahahahaha......"
"It's really funny, the fireflies dare to compare with the bright moon in the sky, hahahahahaha......hahahahaha
……
……
Only the next moment, Yedans's laughter stopped abruptly......
Bang!!
Bang!!
The two clashing sounds alternated between the elven wooden house, the head of a poisonous snake embedded in the floor of the wooden house and not moving, while the snake body of the other crimson viper was now stuck in the wooden wall with a pitch-black spear and kept struggling.
A humanoid monster about 40 centimeters tall, covered in pitch-black armor, and armed with a black spear, appeared in Yedans' eyes.
"Then let me be the firefly that is brighter than the moon......" a voice said slowly.
